Chapter 898 Sarutobi Hiruzen's Compromise

"Sarumo!" He couldn't help but screamed in surprise, feeling grief for Sarumo's damage and anger and resentment at Virgil's powerful strength.

Sarumo was his partner and one of his sources of power, but now he was severely injured by this sudden attack, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.

"Sorry, Sarutobi... I can only help you here."

Sarumo's words echoed in the air, with a hint of helplessness and reluctance, and then turned into a wisp of light smoke and dissipated into nothingness. This was not only a physical disappearance, but also a heavy blow to Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white due to the force, but the light in his eyes became more determined.

"As the Hokage, I must defeat him!"

This determination burned in his chest like a raging fire, and no doubt was allowed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that as the Hokage, every decision he made was related to the safety of the entire village. At this critical moment, retreat was not an option.

He tightened the forehead protector on his forehead, which was a symbol of identity and also a legacy of responsibility.

"The will of fire that has been passed down from the first, second, and fourth generations of Hokage to this day, how could it be extinguished here!"

His words were full of power, which was a respect for the ancestors and a persistence in self-belief.

Therefore, as a Hokage, you must be strong!

"At this point, are you still saying such stupid things?"

Virgil said indifferently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not respond, but acted quickly.

He knew that facing such a strong enemy, any hesitation could be fatal.

His hands quickly formed seals, and complex ninjutsu spells flowed in his heart. In an instant, the earth seemed to respond to his call and began to tremble violently.

"Compound Ninja Law·Earth Dragon Flame Flow!"

With his low shout, the originally solid land instantly turned into a swamp, and a huge mud dragon suddenly jumped out of it, rushing towards Virgil with the momentum of destroying the world.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen spit out flames, the temperature of which was enough to melt steel. It hovered above the mud dragon, and the two complemented each other, forming an unimaginable terrifying force.

However, Virgil just shook his head slightly, and gently waved the Yama Sword in his hand. The sword light was like lightning, and nine brilliant tracks were instantly drawn in the air.

Each blade light seemed to be able to cut through space, tearing the earth dragon flame flow together with the space around it.

The huge mud dragon was like paper under the Yama Sword, and was easily cut into countless pieces, and then sucked into those space cracks and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked but not confused. He knew that when fighting against such an opponent, he must go all out and not hold back at all.

So, he flashed and used the instant body technique to appear behind Virgil, and at the same time, he blew out a sharp gust of wind from his mouth - "Wind Style Cyclone!"

This wind style technique is not only incredibly fast, but also contains enough wind pressure to blow rocks into powder.

However, Virgil seemed to have eyes on his back, and the Yama Sword was unsheathed again. This time, he did not directly cut the wind style, but swung the sword at an incredible angle, and once again cut a space crack in the air.

The wind style cyclone that was originally unstoppable was swallowed up by it and disappeared without a trace the moment it touched the space crack.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen had not reacted in time, he would have been almost involved.

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell to the ground, his breathing became heavier, a drop of cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and looking at Virgil who was unharmed, his brows slightly frowned,

"Completely useless."

Continuous use of powerful ninjutsu caused him great consumption.

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell to the ground, his breathing became heavier, and the cold sweat on his forehead slid down like drizzle. He stared at Virgil who was unharmed, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

He knew that he had to show stronger strength to compete with such an opponent.

"Although it's a bit reluctant, there's no other way, I can only use that trick!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen decided secretly in his heart. He took a deep breath, quickly formed seals with both hands, and the chakra in his body rushed like a river, splitting into four shadow clones.

These four clones are exactly the same as him, with the same strength and wisdom. They jumped up and landed in four directions of Virgil, surrounding Virgil.

"Ninjutsu·Five Styles Great Link!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the four shadow clones shouted at the same time, and they each formed seals and performed five A-level ninjutsu of fire style, earth style, water style, wind style, and lightning style.

These five attributes of ninjutsu intertwined with each other, forming a colorful attack net, attacking Virgil from five directions at the same time.

The flames of the fire escape roared like a fire dragon, the rocks of the earth escape fell like a landslide, the torrents of the water escape surged like a tsunami, the wind escape cut like a sharp blade, and the lightning of the lightning escape roared like thunder.

The five attributes of ninjutsu gathered around Virgil into a force that destroyed the world, as if to devour him completely.

However, Virgil's expression revealed a kind of detached calmness.

The Yama Sword gently rotated in his hand.

Just when the five attributes of ninjutsu were about to touch him, he swung the knife violently, and a dazzling light burst out from the tip of the knife, instantly devouring all the five attributes of ninjutsu.

Boom boom——!

A violent explosion sounded, the earth was torn apart, and smoke and dust rose.

When the smoke gradually dissipated, Virgil was still standing there, his clothes intact and his expression calm.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had exhausted all his strength and fell heavily to the ground, looking at the area covered by black smoke with blurred vision.

"Hokage-sama!"

The others could not sit still and hurried forward.

"Hmph, now, do you want to continue fighting?"

Virgil put away his Yama sword.

Having already demonstrated his strength, he was not interested in continuing to fight because these people were too weak.

Virgil would not kill people indiscriminately, but would only kill those who blocked his way. The fourth generation of the pope did not die when he met Virgil, but was spared by Virgil.

"I don't know, what do you want to know?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen heard that he didn't need to continue fighting, so he certainly didn't want to provoke enemies for Konoha.

Shimura Danzo wanted to say something, but was glared at by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If you say anything else, I will let you deal with Virgil.

Shimura Danzo understood the meaning of Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, and he stopped. At the same time, it was a pity that Vergil was not strong enough and did not kill Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Otherwise, it would be time for him to become Hokage now, right?

Since the Hokage said so, others naturally could not disobey.
