Chapter 98 Many crises

This time, the fighting power unleashed by Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to be even stronger than in the original plot.

The most crucial thing is that Orochimaru no longer has the Kusanagi sword, so he can't control the Kusanagi sword and pierce Sarutobi Hiruzen's body from behind as in the original plot.

Although the kunai hit, it did not hit the heart.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in the midst of an outburst, as if he felt no injuries, and he frantically mobilized chakra to summon the soul of the god of death.

When Orochimaru saw the God of Death, he was also shocked. Once the Shikigami Seal was cast, the whole body could not move at all.

He also realized that this technique was aimed at the soul, and it was not something that his substitute technique could restore.

"Orochimaru, it's my mistake that caused everything now. Now, we have unlimited time to fight forever in the belly of the god of death."

The god of death has taken the knife out of his mouth. With one slash of the sword, there will be no more Orochimaru in the world.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Dance of the Ferns!!"

Qingye turned his head to look at Kimimaro in the distance. Kimimaro, who was already dying, actually forced himself to use the last killing move of the Corpse Vein.

Countless bones emerged from the ground, turning the entire arena into a forest of bones. More than one bone directly pierced Sarutobi Hiruzen's body.

"Old man." Jiraiya yelled and rushed forward.

This time, Aoba and Kakashi did not stop them.

The Grim Reaper paused, but the knife still fell. But at this moment, a man suddenly grew out of a bone behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This is the secret of Kimimaro Warbler Dance. The human being is integrated with the skeleton and can emerge from any bone.

Kimimaro's entire arm turned into a huge cone-shaped bone spur, which pierced through Sarutobi Hiruzen's body from behind.

This blow was so heavy that Sarutobi Hiruzen's entire chest was shattered.

His last breath was completely shattered. The god of death's knife fell, but it missed the target by a lot and only slashed Orochimaru's hands.

Jiraiya rushed forward and lifted up the dead Kimimaro, and reached out to support Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Orochimaru stepped back suddenly and stared at his hands in a daze. No matter how hard he tried, his hands had no feeling at all.

Even after using the molting substitute, it was still the same. Thinking about the Shikigami Fūjin just now, he finally understood. His hands were not injured. It was his soul that was missing the parts of his hands.

After suffering such a blow, Orochimaru finally lost his composure completely and turned around and ran without thinking.

After taking a look at Qingye from a distance and making sure that Qingye had no intention of attacking, he immediately disappeared from the scene using an earth escape technique.

Kakashi glanced at Aoba, who knew what he meant.

"No need to chase him, he still has value."

In fact, whether Orochimaru was injured or dead today, it was all in Aoba's plan.

Don't forget that Aoba got the mask of the god of death a long time ago. If Orochimaru died under the Shiki Fuujin, it would be almost like it fell into his hands.

If the other party is just injured, then wait for the next transaction.

Orochimaru still has a lot of good stuff in his hands. Not only the improved version of Impure World Reincarnation. In the future, there will be White Geki Jutsu, Yamata no Orochi Jutsu, etc. His Reincarnation Technique and the Ninjutsu of Shedding Skin are all rare good stuff in the Ninja World.

Aoba can slowly pluck the wool from the enemy until all of them are plucked clean, and then deal with Orochimaru.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes slightly and saw that it was Jiraiya. His mouth moved as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he didn't say anything and completely died.

Aoba casually burned the documents that Jiraiya had thrown away, and then walked behind Jiraiya with the group of children.

"Grandpa Hokage...is dead." Naruto said in an incredible tone.

"Yes, he's dead." Sasuke's tone was a little strange. There was no joy, nor sadness.

The other cockroaches had different expressions, but most of them still looked sad.

At this time, the offensive of the Sand Village has begun to show a clear decline. After all, when Jiraiya, Aoba, and Kakashi returned, they also cleaned up a lot of Sand Village ninjas.

This freed up a large number of Konoha ninjas to support others, thus forming a virtuous cycle. At this time, many battlefields had begun to be reworked.

As for the Sand Village and Sound Ninja, after losing the support of Orochimaru and the Tailed Beasts, they gradually began to collapse.

A large number of ninjas were killed and captured.

At this time, Shikamaru's Ino-Shika-Chou team returned with the captured Temari and Kankuro, and immediately saw several of their friends at the scene.

Choji wanted to say hello, but Shikamaru stopped him. With Shikamaru's intelligence, he saw the expressions of the people and thought about the venue, and he quickly understood what happened.

As they got closer, several people saw the Hokage on the ground.

"Hokage-sama!" Ino covered her mouth in shock, her face full of disbelief. Even Choji put down the snacks in his hand.

Shikamaru looked at the dead Hokage, and suddenly his mind flashed back to the words his father had said to him not long ago.

"You'll understand soon enough."

So, is this the result? Shikamaru recalled the time when his father lost his appetite. It turned out that his father had already sensed what was going to happen.

As the young patriarch of the Nara family, Shikamaru naturally had more to think about. But right now was obviously not a good time to discuss these things.

The Sand Village and Sound Ninja had already begun to retreat completely, but the situation had not completely improved.

War does not end when the enemy is defeated. The destruction it brings will continue for quite a long time.

The battle had actually lasted less than a day, but half of Konoha had already been reduced to ruins.

Tens of thousands of wounded had nowhere to go. Tens of thousands were left homeless.

There are still countless ninjas who died in the battle and have not yet been counted. It can be said that the next period of time is the most difficult time for Konoha.

Although the Sand Ninja did not succeed, they still dealt a heavy blow to Konoha. They even killed the Hokage of Konoha. This was an extremely dangerous sign. It meant that Konoha was leaderless and weaker than ever before.

The five major ninja villages are not a peaceful organization. Except for Konoha, the other ninja villages have been coveting Konoha for a long time. As long as there is a chance, they will never let it go.

Aoba could even be sure that the ninjas from Iwagakure and Kumogakure were on their way. And this time it wasn't a test, it was a blatant show of strength. As long as they had the chance, they would definitely pounce on Konoha and bite off a piece of its flesh.
