Path of the Giants of the Autumn Path of the Leaf

Passing by Gaara who was hiding in the sand escape, turbulent air waves roared in mixed with huge flames visible to the naked eye, sweeping across the entire training ground in an instant.

Akimichi Shuijing left simply, not afraid of the fire, but the aftermath of the explosion still continued.

Different from the previous Armored Titan transformation, the explosion power generated by the card fusion Attack on Titan transformation is almost twice that of the Armored Titan.

Like a scorching sun setting in the training ground, this scorching hell on earth was enveloped regardless of whether it was friend or foe.

The tall circular wall was instantly heated and could no longer support it. Like a bead with a broken string, every part of it collapsed and fell apart almost instantly.

The burning stones fell like a rapid rainstorm in midsummer, as if the world was about to end.

The surrounding scene was dyed a dazzling red, and the vision was distorted in the heat wave.The corpses that fell in the training ground were instantly swallowed up by the flames. All sounds faded away, leaving only noise.

"Water escape! Water flow wall!"

"Sakura, stay away!"

Kakashi yelled, crazy!He didn't expect Akimichi Shuijing to be so crazy.

When attacking, he does not distinguish between friend and foe, and does not care about the life or death of his companions.This reminded Kakashi of Shiina Rin. That woman was equally crazy, even worse.

"Sakura!"

Naruto saw Sakura about to be hit by a flaming falling rock, and tried to save her but was blown away by an explosion of flames.

The collapse continued uninterrupted, like building blocks along the circular wall.Using the wall broken by Shukaku as the dividing line, the fire spread from both ends.

The sky seemed to be cut by fire, and countless rays of light rushed in from the gaps in the flames.The flame seemed to be conscious, opening a window in the hellish prison.

Where the light gathers are the ruins of the collapsed platform.

After the aftermath of the explosion, the genin walked out of the charred shelter in the corridor.Either his face was covered in black ash or he was burned.

They looked at the burned ruins, the burning high wall, and the blue sky that looked like the mouth of a deep well. They suddenly felt like they were in another world.

"Look! Hokage-sama!"

Someone suddenly shouted.

Naruto, who could barely stand up, forced his eyelids, his mind was a little confused due to the blast. When he heard someone calling Hokage-sama, he couldn't help but stumble forward.

The iron railing in front to prevent falling had been completely burned by the fire. Naruto saw the falling skylight at the edge of the walkway.From the top of the blue sky, through the shroud of black smoke, hitting the ruins.

The old man he was very familiar with was entangled with a long-haired man with gray skin.

Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed Orochimaru with his hands like eagle claws, and pierced their chests with a long sword.Like fate, the Third Hokage still reached that point.

He was worried about letting his disciple Orochimaru harm the village like this and destroy all his hard work.

So he decided to take his most proud disciple away, and this mistake that made him feel guilty his entire life would be ended by his own hands.

The field below was filled with black smoke, and only where the beam of light illuminated, Sarutobi Nikko and Orochimaru were standing on a bright land like a stage light, and the two were engaged in the final game of life and death.

The moment he saw the scene below clearly, Naruto was stunned.

"Old man Hokage..." Naruto stood at the edge of the high bleachers with horrified eyes, and the worn forehead protection strips were scattered.

With a clanking sound, the forehead protector that was given to Naruto by the third generation fell down.From the second-floor grandstand, which is more than ten meters away, it falls like withered leaves in autumn beside the base of the field wall.

The originally peaceful training ground turned into a corpse refining furnace at this moment, and the fiery hell filled the entire place with black smoke.I don't know if it was a coincidence that a beam of skylight appeared, allowing more than 100 living ninjas present to see the final battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru.

"Hokage-sama! How could it be!"

Sakura walked to the broken railing. The iron railing was red-hot, and hot white smoke was rising from the break.

Neji, who was wrapped in bandages, limped up to the stands on the second floor and looked at the only two people left in the field with a solemn expression.

Sasuke maintained his attacking posture, with a deep fear of the fire in his pupils.When he saw the situation clearly, he couldn't help but tremble all over.The Hokage, who was so powerful in his heart, was also pierced by a long sword.

The ANBU members wanted to go down and rescue the Third Hokage, but the Third Hokage stopped them.

"do not come!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was firm and decisive, with a meaning that could not be refused.

Sparks kept falling from high places, mixed in the black smoke.Orochimaru's soul has been captured by the God of Death, and he can no longer laugh at this moment.

A larger shadow appeared behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, a shinigami with gray-white skin, forest-white hair, and the appearance of a demon.

The God of Death is dressed in white clothes, with a skeleton-like mind exposed, and a look of sorrow on his face.

There is a white short knife in the mouth full of fangs, and above the head are three piles of blue spiritual fire floating.And Sarutobi Hiruzen had sacrificed his soul to the God of Death, and the hand of the God of Death stretched out from his belly and grabbed Orochimaru's soul.

Once Orochimaru's soul is completely extracted, the God of Death will swallow Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru's souls together.

From then on, their souls will not enter the Pure Land and will be entangled in the belly of death forever.

"You old guy! What is that!" Orochimaru said impatiently, trying to get rid of Sarutobi Hiruzen's control but unable to control his body.

"This is the ninjutsu used by the Fourth Generation to seal the Nine-Tails, and now I will use it on you." Sarutobi Hiruzen endured the pain, with a smile on his face, "Our souls will always be entangled, Hating each other and being devoured by death.”

"Orochimaru, you are my proudest disciple and also my biggest mistake."

"But that's it. I will end my mistakes with my own hands, and go to hell with me!"

"No! You can't! You damn old guy, what did you do to me!" Orochimaru roared, "It's just a few people killed. Obviously that experiment killed more!"

"You can't do this to me!"

In the distance, Akimichi Shuijing, who had recovered from his giant transformation, was hiding in an alley.The red tiles and green walls are filled with sunshine, and the willow leaves are lifted by the breeze and tremble in the wanton sunshine.

Different from the training ground in the distance that looks like a purgatory on earth, this place is like a peaceful world that has passed through time, so peaceful that it feels a bit unreal.

Under the low wall, Akimichi Shuijing leaned weakly against the gray wall. The light and shadow hit his side face, outlining his extremely three-dimensional bridge of the nose.

The eyes and side corners of the mouth were slightly hidden in shadow, as if wearing a black mask.
