Chapter 137 Hyuga Great Elder
When Suzumiya Musashi rushed to find Uzumaki Naruto.
Inside the Four Purple Flame Array barrier.
Orochimaru, who respected his teacher, was reborn into the First and Second Hokage through the Impure World Reincarnation, and together he advised Sarutobi Hiruzen to decide on the Fifth Hokage as soon as possible.
However, he was summoned by Sarutobi Hiruzen as the God of Death and prepared to perform the Demon Sealing Technique.
When the frivolous soul was pulled out by the god of death, Orochimaru was finally afraid.
"Your ambition ends here!" Sarutobi Hiruzen used up his last bit of strength and looked at his once most proud disciple in front of him, his old face full of sorrow and determination.
"You are addicted to ninjutsu and you are wasting ninjutsu. I will punish you appropriately and take away all your ninjutsu!"
"You...what did you say?"
Orochimaru yelled in horror, "Stop!"
"You old man, you're so old!"
The Grim Reaper swung his sword and the seal was completed.
The vitality in Sarutobi Hiruzen's body was rapidly draining away.
The image of Orochimaru in front of him gradually became blurred.
The sound of the curse could not be heard clearly, and images flashed before his eyes. Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to see the appearance of Orochimaru when he was a child.
Calm, rational and gifted.
At the beginning, I was soft-hearted and let Orochimaru go.
Many years have passed, and because of his own weakness, Konoha has reached its current situation.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's body began to fall to the ground.
He turned his eyes and vaguely saw the prosperous village that he was once proud of, but now it was filled with smoke and dust and was nothing but broken walls.
[Perhaps what Danzo said makes sense. Sometimes, I am too weak.] Such thoughts emerged in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.
From his fight with Orochimaru until he performed the Shiki Fuujin.
The Four Purple Flame Formation stood still, and even the Anbu's henchmen did not attempt to break the barrier.
Hyuga, Ino-Shika-cho, Hatake, Uchiha... No master from any clan came to save him.
[Yes, White Fang is dead, and Uchiha... is gone too...]
[What kind of future...will Konoha usher in...] Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know either.
[Perhaps dying like this is...the best ending for me.]
The past flashed back in my mind.
The indulgence of Danzo led to the end of Uchiha, the peace gained by swallowing one's anger, and the fall of Konoha White Fang...
The scene was frozen many years ago, at that life-and-death moment. Amid the hesitation of his companions, a familiar young man raised his head firmly in front of Tobirama Senju.
"I come!"
[I... am old... If I could go back... to the past...]
Dead leaves falling...
...
The chaos finally subsided.
With Orochimaru's defeat and Shukaku being killed by Uzumaki Naruto who summoned a giant toad, the remaining people could no longer cause any trouble. Under the joint efforts of the masters from all the clans of Konoha, they knew they had no chance of winning and retreated one after another.
Some people are grieving over the death of Sarutobi Hiruzen in battle, while others are quietly cleaning up the mess.
Suzumiya Musashi takes the injured Uzumaki Naruto home.
"Boss, was I handsome just now?" Uzumaki Naruto lay on Suzumiya Musashi's back. Even though it hurt so much to move his whole body, he still couldn't stop feeling proud.
"Handsome!" Suzumiya Musashi praised generously.
"A guy as big as Shukaku would be difficult for me to handle, Naruto, you've made great progress."
Hearing such straightforward praise from the boss, Uzumaki Naruto was extremely happy and laughed foolishly, “Hehehehe”.
"No, it's all thanks to the Lecherous Immortal. If he hadn't taught me the art of spiritualism, I wouldn't have been able to defeat him without Wen Tai's help."
"Although, I did an excellent job to get the recognition from Wen Tai~"
Suzumiya Musashi listened to Uzumaki Naruto's 'humility' with a smile.
His praise was not false.
Uzumaki Naruto was able to take off in the later period mainly because of three cheats.
The first is the inheritance of Ashura and the Six Paths Sage, given by blood.
The second is the Nine-Tailed Fox, given by my parents.
The third is the help from Myoboku Mountain given by the master.
It is not easy for him to deal with the tailed beasts that are huge in size and are not even afraid of their bodies being broken. Uzumaki Naruto was able to summon Gamabuntai and deal with Gaara and Shukaku. Such performance is more than just excellent.
Didn’t he look at Uchiha Sasuke behind him, his face had already turned extremely dark.
The turmoil had just ended, and the Konoha Hospital was overcrowded, so Suzumiya Musashi carried Uzumaki Naruto directly home.
Fortunately, the area near my home was not destroyed and was just on the edge of chaos.
Just as he arrived at the door of his house, before entering, Suzumiya Musashi stopped.
...
"Ningji, I'm asking you a question! How is Hinata!?" a majestic questioning voice sounded.
At the doorstep of Suzumiya Musashi's house, an old man with white eyes stood there and spoke coldly, followed by a tall Kumogakure ninja.
On the opposite side, Uzumaki Karin and Hyuga Neji were blocking the door, preventing the other party from entering.
"Great Elder, Miss Hinata was just a little frightened and is not seriously injured." Hyuga Neji said.
"I'm glad Hinata is okay." The Great Hyuga Elder changed the subject: "Where are the others?"
Hyuga Neji: "What other people?"
The Great Elder glanced at the Kumogakure ninja beside him, and then said, "People from Kumogakure."
Hyuga Neji kept silent.
Uzumaki Karin said from the side: "One died, and the other arrogant one was tied up!"
The Great Elder was furious: "Ningji! You are too reckless!"
"What are you yelling about!" Uzumaki Karin said dissatisfiedly, "Are you here to find Hinata, or to call for justice?"
The Great Elder glanced at Uzumaki Karin coldly.
He had no interest in saying anything more to the uneducated wild girl, so he turned to Hyuga Neji and continued, "Let the person out."
Hyuga Neji hurriedly said: "Great Elder, that is the enemy who kidnapped Hinata..." "Let him out!" The Great Elder interrupted harshly.
Uzumaki Karin rolled up her sleeves: "You are..."
"What are you barking about?" A cold voice sounded from behind.
The Great Elder and the Hidden Cloud Ninja turned around and met Suzumiya Musashi's dissatisfied gaze.
"I'm with Hinata..."
"I don't care what you bark at!"
Suzumiya Musashi said rudely: "This is the door of my house! If nothing else, please stay away."
Uzumaki Karin ran over to him, hugged one of his arms and complained, "This stinky old man came to cause trouble for us while you were away."
Suzumiya Musashi put Uzumaki Naruto down, handed him to Uchiha Sasuke beside him, and came to the front of the Hyuga elder.
Seeing that the other party was wearing spotless and decent clothes even though Konoha had just experienced turmoil, he said, "If you are here to look for Hinata, you can take Hinata back."
"Then get out of here."
The Great Elder looked angry.
As the grand elder of the Hyuga clan, a major Konoha clan, everyone who enters and leaves Konoha is treated with utmost respect.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't dare to speak to him like that!
"Arrogant young man, who do you think is standing in front of you..."
"I don't care who you are, do you have the guts to do it?" Suzumiya Musashi looked fierce.
Being stared at by the other party, the Great Elder's hair stood on end instantly, and an inexplicable fear emerged in his heart.
