This time Hiruzen Sarutobi's explosive combat power seems to be stronger than in the original plot.
The most important thing is that without Kusanagi Sword, Orochimaru can no longer control Kusanagi Sword and pierce Hiruzen Sarutobi's body from behind like in the original plot.
Although the Kunai hit, it did not hit the heart.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was in the midst of an explosion. As if he couldn't feel the injury, he frantically activated chakra to summon the soul of Reaper.
Orochimaru was also shocked the moment he saw Reaper. Once Reaper Death Seal was hit by the spell, his whole body could not move at all.
And he also realized that this technique was aimed at the soul. It was not something that his own Substitution Technique could restore.
"Orochimaru, it was my mistake that created everything now. Now, we have unlimited time to fight in Reaper's belly forever."
Reaper has taken out the knife from his mouth. With one blow, there will be no more Orochimaru in the world.
But at this time, I heard a voice suddenly coming from not far away.
"Dance of the Seedling Fern!!"
Aoba turned his head and looked at Kimimaro in the distance. Kimimaro, who was already dying, actually forcibly performed Shikotsumyaku's final killing move.
Countless bones emerged from the ground, turning the entire arena into a forest of bones. More than one bone directly pierced Hiruzen Sarutobi's body.
"Old man." Jiraiya shouted and rushed forward.
This time, Aoba and Kakashi did not stop them.
Reaper's movement paused, and the knife still fell. But at this time, a person suddenly grew out of a bone behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.
This is the secret of Kimimaro Dance of the Seedling Fern. Human beings and bones are integrated into one body and can appear from any bone.
Kimimaro's entire arm turned into a huge cone-shaped bone spur, which directly pierced Hiruzen Sarutobi's body from behind.
This blow was really too heavy. Hiruzen Sarutobi's entire chest was smashed.
His last breath was completely shattered. Reaper's knife fell, but it was far away from the original target and only scratched Orochimaru's hands.
Jiraiya rushed up and opened the dead Kimimaro. He stretched out his hand to support Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Orochimaru, on the other hand, stepped back suddenly, and then looked at his hands blankly. No matter how hard he tried, his hands had no feeling at all.
Even after using Shedding Skin Substitution, it was still the same. Thinking of Reaper Death Seal just now, he finally understood that his hands were not injured, but that his soul was missing parts of his hands.
After suffering such a blow, Orochimaru. finally completely lost his composure. He turned around and ran away without thinking.
After taking a look at Aoba from a distance and making sure that Aoba had no intention of taking action, he immediately disappeared from the scene with a Earth Release.
Kakashi glanced at Aoba. Aoba knew what he meant.
"No need to chase him, he is still valuable."
In fact, whether Orochimaru was injured or killed today, it was all part of Aoba's plan.
Don't forget, Aoba got Reaper Mask a long time ago. If Orochimaru dies under Reaper Death Seal, it is almost equivalent to falling into his own hands.
And if the other party is just injured, then wait for the next transaction.
Orochimaru still has a lot of good things in his hands. Not only the improved version of Impure World Reincarnation. In the future, there will also be White Rage Technique, Eight Branches Technique, etc. His Living Corpse Reincarnation, as well as the ninjutsu of Shedding Skin Substitution, are all rare and good things for Shinobi World.
Aoba can slowly collect the wool. Until all the wool is collected, then solve Orochimaru.
Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his eyes slightly and saw it was Jiraiya. His mouth moved a little, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end, he completely lost his life without saying anything.
Aoba casually burned the files that Jiraiya had thrown away. Then he led the group of children and walked behind Jiraiya.
"Grandpa Hokage... is dead." Naruto said in an incredible tone.
"Yes, he is dead." Sasuke's tone was a little strange. There was no joy or sadness.
The remaining Xiaoqiang had different expressions, but most of them still looked sad.
At this time, Sand Ninja's offensive had begun to show an obvious decline. After all, when Jiraiya, Aoba, and Kakashi returned, many Sand Ninja's were cleared by the way.
This freed up a large number of Konoha Ninja to support others. This formed a virtuous cycle. At this time, many battlefields had already begun to undergo rework.
As for Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja, after losing the support of Orochimaru and Tailed Beast, they gradually began to collapse.
A large number of ninjas were killed and captured.
At this time, the Ino-Shika-Cho team of Shikamaru came back with the captured Temari and Kankuro. At a glance, they saw several friends at the scene.
Choji wanted to say hello, but Shikamaru stopped him. With Shikamaru's IQ, he saw everyone's expressions. Thinking of this venue, he quickly understood what happened.
After getting closer, several people saw Hokage on the ground.
"Lord Hokage!!" Ino was so shocked that he covered his mouth with a look of disbelief. Even Choji put down the snacks in his hands.
Shikamaru looked at the dead Hokage, and the words his father said to him not long ago suddenly came to mind.
"You'll understand soon enough."
So, is this the result? Shikamaru's mind flashed back to his father's state of indifference some time ago. It turns out that at that time, his father had already noticed what was going to happen.
As the young patriarch of the Nara Clan, Shikamaru naturally thinks more. But at this time, it is obviously not a good time to discuss these things.
Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja have begun to retreat completely. However, the situation has not completely improved.
War does not end when the enemy is defeated. The destruction it brings will continue for a long time.
The fight has actually only lasted less than a day, but half of the entire Konoha has been reduced to ruins.
Tens of thousands of injured people have nowhere to stay. Tens of thousands of people are homeless.
There are still countless ninjas who died in the battle yet to be counted. It can be said that the next period of time will be the most difficult moment for Konoha.
Although Sand Ninja did not succeed, they still severely damaged Konoha. They even killed Hokage of Konoha. This is an extremely dangerous sign. It means that Konoha is leaderless and at a moment of unprecedented weakness.
Five Great Shinobi Villages is not a peaceful organization. In addition to Konoha, several other ninja villages have been coveting Konoha for a long time. As long as there is an opportunity, they will never let it go.
Aoba is even sure that the ninjas of Iwagakure and Kumogakure are on the way now. And this time it is not a test, but a baring of teeth. As long as there is a chance, they will definitely pounce on Konoha and bite off a piece of Konoha's flesh.
