Path of the Giants of the Autumn Path of the Leaf

At that moment, he saw a miniature version of Sarutobi Hiruzen and saw Orochimaru.

At the same time, I also saw myself.Blue-gray hands, jagged ribs.

Although he didn't understand what happened, he was indeed summoned by the Third Hokage as the God of Death at this moment. When he opened his eyes, the hand of the God of Death had already taken out part of Orochimaru's soul.

Akimichi Suikyou, who had come to consciousness, sensed Hiruzen Sarutobi's hesitation. In the last moment of his life, Hiruzen Sarutobi still didn't want to kill his proud disciple Orochimaru.

A long sword penetrated the chests of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru. Orochimaru was using his last strength to control the Kusanagi sword to stab into his mentor's body little by little, hoping to force the third generation to stop ninjutsu.

Orochimaru's face showed an anxious look, and there was even fear in his eyes.

He never thought that the third generation really wanted to die with him. At the moment when he drew his sword, Orochimaru even thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen would avoid it.

But Orochimaru miscalculated, and the third generation allowed the Kusanagi sword to penetrate his body, and risked his life to use the corpse-sealing technique to catch him.

"Old guy! You!" Orochimaru gritted his teeth and said, "Let me go!"

"Orochimaru, you were a ninja decades ago, don't be so naive." The third generation smiled with an increasingly weak breath, "I have lived long enough, it is not bad to die like this."

"Sandai! You..."

Orochimaru cursed the Third Generation crazily, Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils gradually dilated, and his consciousness became weaker and weaker.

He is already old, and his body is getting tired and stiff.Occasionally I would fall asleep while dealing with official documents, and sometimes I would be so busy that I couldn't remember the day. The days before my disciples traveled far away seemed like yesterday.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could no longer bear such a high-intensity battle, but the mess created by his former apprentice still had to continue.

He thought to himself that if he had just been ruthless, he would have been able to completely extract Orochimaru's soul.

Maybe it's because people are getting older and their hearts are not as hard as before.No matter how many times I watch it, Orochimaru is still so talented.It's just a pity that the talent was used in the wrong place and went astray.

No, he should be the one who led him astray.

If it weren't for his own acquiescence, Orochimaru might not be what he is now.But at that time, how could I have imagined that the simple Orochimaru would become what he is now.

More importantly, it's too late to say anything now, he's going to die too.

Sure enough, it is better not to take Orochimaru away before death.It's better to be alive than dead, so I'll just take away all the ninjutsu I gave you.

In this way, Orochimaru could not continue to do evil.The village held its own, and its mistakes were atoned for.

Maybe Orochimaru will hate him for the rest of his life, that's fine, he will remember him for the rest of his life.

Sighing softly from the bottom of his heart, the third generation blinked hard again. In front of him, Orochimaru, who was cursing crazily, had turned into a young man.In a daze, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of the boy who picked up the snake slough.

What is the meaning of life?

The question he asked back then was as clear as if it was in his ears. Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his mouth and said silently.

"My life has come to an end, Orochimaru. It's a pity that I can only bid farewell to you in this way. After all, I am the shadow of this village."

"We are masters and apprentices, and we will meet again in the next life."

With his mind made up, the God of Death's butcher knife was raised high, about to cut off Orochimaru's extracted soul hands.

At the same moment, Akimichi Shuijing, who was leaning against the alley, closed his eyes completely, and his consciousness sank into the god of death.

Wearing the mask of death, he looked like the god of death at this moment.

He wanted to act on his own, but found that there seemed to be a force restricting him, completely controlled by Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.

Akimichi Suikage knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was unwilling to kill Orochimaru, and also knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi released a sea of ​​water after he successfully performed the zombie sealing technique.

But he didn't want to let the third generation get his wish. If he couldn't seal Orochimaru now with such a good opportunity, it would be even harder in the future.

He spent all his energy trying to get rid of the third generation of ninjutsu. Akimichi Shuijing wanted to personally control the god of death to extract Orochimaru's soul.But it is a pity that the laws of ninjutsu prevent Akimichi Suikage from disobeying Sarutobi Hiruzen's will.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to draw his sword now and cut off the soul of Orochimaru's hands to seal it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was subconsciously unwilling to seal Orochimaru, and he still couldn't do it to his most beloved disciple in his life.It's not surprising to think about it. When he was young, Sarutobi Hiruzen once let Orochimaru go.

At that time, Orochimaru was the No. 1 human experimenter among Konoha ninjas, taking the lead in developing and experimenting with blood succession limits.

At that time, the attitude of Konoha's senior management was supportive, but later when the experiment made no progress, Orochimaru secretly continued it on his own after it was declared a failure, so it was deemed unreasonable.

What the Third Generation cared about was not the people Orochimaru killed, but the secret experiments that went beyond the scale without the permission of the top management.

That time, he was able to relent and let Orochimaru go.The main reason is because he knows that the fault is not all Orochimaru's. It was them who pushed Orochimaru onto this path.

What Orochimaru cares about is theory and data.Top management cares about results.

When the experiment fails, naturally everything must be terminated.These ulterior processes must be sealed and buried in the deepest underground, so that they cannot be known to anyone.

But Orochimaru couldn't look back, he was completely addicted to it.Let a madman get his blood on him and he will never be able to put down the knife again.

It is precisely because of this that the third generation indulged Orochimaru again and again.Let him go privately and let him live his own life out of the village.

Maybe he thought that Orochimaru would definitely come back to see him before he died, maybe come back to kill him.Sarutobi Hiruzen had already had a premonition and was not surprised by Orochimaru's appearance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to make up for his mistakes and say goodbye to Orochimaru.

But Akimichi Shuikage didn't agree, and he couldn't watch the third generation let Orochimaru go again.His next mission is to attack the Sound Ninja Village. The existence of Orochimaru will only add many unnecessary variables to the mission.

In Akimichi Mizukage's opinion, the third generation should take Orochimaru with him.

Anyway, the relationship between master and disciple is deep, so why not die together.Akimichi Shuijing gritted his teeth, summoned all his mental power, and focused on attacking the seal that sealed the zombies formed by the Third Hokage.

Orochimaru looked at the knife dropped by the God of Death, his eyes becoming more and more frightened.

He already understood that his old immortal Hokage teacher was serious this time. If the soul of his hand was cut off, he would no longer be able to use his hands!

The white dagger suddenly slashed down, but stopped a palm away from the souls of Orochimaru's hands.

The sword stopped, but the shadow of the God of Death behind Sarutobi Hiruzen moved.

He suddenly grabbed Orochimaru and pulled his soul out of his body.
