Out of Control!

"Teacher, let me see you off on your final journey!"

As the cold voice rang out, the sharp sword drew Hanabi as it scraped against the Adamantine Staff Kusanagi Sword, even the indestructible demonic ape felt a slight pain.

The people present, whether alive or dead, were all top-tier experts who had experienced countless battlefields.

The dazzling and intense clashes were no less fierce than the Taijutsu duel between Dōmeki and Might Guy.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi was getting old, and at the end of his ninja career, both his physical strength and Chakra reserves were declining in every way.

Bass!

The suddenly extended Adamantine Staff was firmly blocked by Orochimaru's horizontal sword. The power that once sent the Nine-Tails flying was now only able to achieve a stalemate with his disciple.

At that moment, Hashirama Senju rushed towards Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the unsuspecting old man was immediately kicked away by a powerful sweeping leg strike.

Tobirama Senju swiftly resumed the attack, smashing the Third Hokage's weapon out of his hand with a punch while simultaneously sending him staggering with a sharp side kick.

"A great opportunity!"

Orochimaru released his sword and swiftly approached his disheveled teacher. With a few punches and kicks, he Hiruzen Sarutobi to the ground. The entire battlefield instantly turned into a scene of ganging up on a seventy-year-old man, leaving the Konoha Ninja who tried to come to his aid but were unable to destroy the Four Violet Flames Formation in a terrible state!

Cough cough cough!

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell to the ground, watching his disciple approach and look down at him, seemingly powerless to resist.

His vision was already blurred, and the sinister man in front of him suddenly transformed into the image of the obedient and talented young disciple he once was.

Watching his disciple stray further and further down the wrong path, a tear slid down his cheek, and the old man, his face etched with the marks of time, made up his mind.

"You foolish disciple!"

Having regained his fighting spirit, the old man once again displayed the prowess of a former Shinobi Hero. Taking advantage of the situation, he knocked his disciple away, and at the same time, the demonic ape's arm reached out and grabbed Orochimaru by the neck!

The moment Orochimaru used his Earth Clone to escape, the old man seized the opportunity to appear in front of his disciple with a flash, and delivered a powerful punch directly to Orochimaru's face.

"It hurts!"

Orochimaru was sent flying backward, tried to summon the two Hokage to come to his aid, but Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly raised his palm.

"Burst!"

With two loud "BOOM!" sounds, the legs of the two Hokage were suddenly shattered by the Explosive Tag that the old man had affixed, and Orochimaru's two strongest allies instantly lost their fighting ability.

"As expected of a teacher!"

Orochimaru couldn't help but applaud Hiruzen Sarutobi's battle wisdom. However, the next moment, the dust gathered together amidst the swirling dust, and in just a short while, the two Hokage returned to normal.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, a forbidden jutsu that manipulates the souls of the dead, is truly troublesome!" Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled bitterly. This forbidden jutsu, sealed within Konoha, was a trump card that could decide the outcome of a battle, but once it fell into the enemy's hands...

"Getting old! How pathetic!"

Orochimaru burst into maniacal laughter, the madness in his voice causing Hiruzen Sarutobi to stop in his tracks.

Amidst the questioning gaze of his former teacher, Orochimaru became excited on his own, like a child showing off their achievement to their parents. Suddenly, he tore off his mask, and a strange woman's face appeared before Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Who... who are you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked on in disbelief.

Orochimaru, however, switched to a woman's voice and laughed as he said to his teacher, "Even your teacher can't understand?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly remembered the Ninjutsu his unorthodox disciple wanted to develop— the Living Corpse Reincarnation!

The ability to transfer one's soul to a new body to achieve immortality is the very evil Ninjutsu he developed that led him to relentlessly conduct cruel experiments on villagers and his companions.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was finally discovered, he realized that his soft-hearted teacher had let his disciple escape during that battle because he couldn't bring himself to kill him, which ultimately led to the situation we see today.

"So, your target is Sasuke Uchiha?"

As the man's closest partner, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that the two of them were equally obsessed with the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, so he guessed his disciple's intentions immediately.

"That's right!"

Orochimaru licked his lips, nonchalantly confirming Hiruzen Sarutobi's question. To obtain the eye that led to the pinnacle of power in the Shinobi World, he had even abandoned the body of that outstanding disciple, instead taking on the body of this ordinary female ninja.

"To make my teacher regret his career and die a painful death, cursed by his tragic fate, let me keep my original face!"

Orochimaru turned his face back, uttering cold words.

The next moment, Hashirama Senju, who was waiting nearby, suddenly activated Wood Release, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just activated the Adamantine Sealing Wall, inside.

The old man, panting heavily, felt regret for himself more than once, wondering how he had led this seemingly perfect disciple, the one he had once entrusted with inheriting his will, down such a wrong path.

"Let me end all of this!"

Chakra Hiruzen Sarutobi released the Adamantine Sealing Wall Ninjutsu, instead mobilizing the last of his chakra.

As the old man quickly Hand Seals, two identical Shadow Clone emerged from behind him.

"Shadow Clone?"

Orochimaru was utterly baffled by his teacher's actions. To waste Chakra at a time when he was short on it seemed like his teacher had lost his mind!

However, the shocked demonic ape had already sensed his old friend's intentions. "Hiruzen, are you going to use that Ninjutsu?!"

Si--Hai--Wei--Mao--Xu--Ziyou--Wu--Si

As Hiruzen Sarutobi his hands together, a gigantic and terrifying figure, invisible to ordinary people, appeared behind him.

The white figure was dressed entirely in white robes, with two horns growing from the top of its head beneath its disheveled white hair. Its ferocious face sent chills down one's spine. A short knife used for seppuku was held in the monster's mouth. This was the god known as Shinigami.

"Wait, that's the Reaper Death Seal!"

Orochimaru's expression changed in horror. After taking on a disciple with the Uzumaki Bloodline, he also devoted himself to studying the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu. Although he wasn't particularly interested in this Ninjutsu that involved mutual destruction, he still memorized it.

"I can't believe you, old man, actually made such a decision!"

Although Orochimaru couldn't see the Shinigami Reaper, his terrifying aura had already been detected by his spiritual sense. Recalling the horror of this forbidden technique, even the usually composed Orochimaru broke out in a cold sweat.

"Bringer-of-Darkness Technique!"

As Tobirama Senju Hand Seals, the surrounding light was instantly stolen by the Ninjutsu, Hiruzen Sarutobi into darkness, who was immediately subjected to countless attacks from all around.

However, the old man neither dodged nor flinched. Recalling the generations of ninjas who had sacrificed themselves and the new buds who would be entrusted with the future of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed a calm smile.

Where Konoha dance in the air, fire will never be extinguished!

"The Kakkō will continue to illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout!!!"

Orochimaru, then burn together with this old man!
