Naruto: Destroy the Sarutobi Clan At the Beginning

A strange scene unfolded.

The flames surrounding the barrier seemed to be drawn by an unseen force, merging into Pakura's Scorch Release Fireball. The fireball suddenly expanded, growing dozens of times larger until it resembled a miniature sun hovering in the sky. The light from the massive fireball illuminated the entire valley, its heat radiating in waves.

At this moment, Pakura's years of intense training bore fruit.

"Truly remarkable," Orochimaru muttered, admiration creeping into his tone. "She can absorb the barrier's flames and integrate them into her Scorch Release. Inside this barrier, she's practically invincible."

As Orochimaru spoke, his gaze shifted to Kirito, a hint of unease in his eyes. It was clear that Kirito's abilities—and his willingness to train his allies—surpassed what Orochimaru had anticipated.

Kirito, however, remained calm, silently observing the fight.

Understanding the danger, Rasa decided to strike first. He concentrated all of his remaining Gold Dust into a spiraling drill and launched it at Pakura at high speed. The drill spun violently, aiming to pierce through the fiery barrier Pakura had erected.

Unfortunately for Rasa, the enhanced Scorch Release was no longer something his Gold Dust could counter. With a casual flick, Pakura hurled her fireball at the incoming attack. The moment the two forces collided, the Gold Dust drill melted into liquid gold, sizzling as it splashed onto the ground. The fireball, still intact, continued its trajectory toward Rasa.

Forced to rely on his Sand Teleportation Technique, Rasa narrowly dodged the attack. But within the confines of the Uchiha Flame Formation, his options were limited. Without his Gold Dust for protection, he was running out of strategies—and strength.

Just as Pakura prepared to unleash another massive fireball to finish him off, Kirito appeared behind Rasa in an instant. With a swift motion, his Zanpakutō pierced through Rasa's chest.

Rasa's eyes widened in shock. Blood spurted from his mouth as he stared at the blade protruding from his body.

"Lord Kirito, what are you doing?" Pakura asked, halting her attack as she landed gracefully on the ground.

Kirito turned toward her, his expression unreadable. "Rasa's body is still useful. If you hit him with your Scorch Release, there wouldn't be anything left but ashes. Don't worry, I didn't kill him—just a severe injury. He's still yours to handle."

With that, Kirito withdrew his Zanpakutō and kicked Rasa's weakened body away. Blood dripped from the blade, staining the rocky ground. Kirito dispersed the Uchiha Flame Formation, leaving Rasa trembling and desperately trying to crawl away.

Rasa's pathetic state reminded Kirito of Danzo's futile struggle before his demise.

Kirito had made sure to leave no loose ends. When his Zanpakutō pierced Rasa's chest, it did more than just physical damage. Rasa's soul was completely shattered, ensuring he could never be resurrected—not even through the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Thank you, Lord Kirito," Pakura said with a nod. Understanding Kirito's intentions, she formed a series of hand seals, creating dozens of shadow clones. Each clone armed itself with kunai or shuriken, all aiming at Rasa.

"This is for everything you did to me," Pakura said coldly.

Surrounded by Pakura's clones, Rasa screamed in despair as the clones unleashed their weapons. Kunai and shuriken pierced his body, turning him into a bloodied hedgehog. With one final gasp, Rasa collapsed, lifeless.

"Done. I feel much better now," Pakura said, a satisfied yet somber smile on her face.

Watching from the sidelines, Orochimaru let out a sinister chuckle. "Kirito-kun, you really have an interesting way of doing things. But tell me, when did you develop such an interest in corpses?"

"I don't care about corpses," Kirito replied casually. "But your former partner, Sasori, certainly does. This body will fetch a good price when I trade it with him. As for the skin, that's for you. Just don't damage it."

Orochimaru's eyes lit up with understanding. "Ah, Sasori. Of course. He'll want this body for his puppetry experiments."

Orochimaru signaled Kabuto to retrieve the corpse. Kabuto approached, extracting Rasa's body and skin with practiced efficiency.

Not long after, Pakura and Kabuto returned, each holding a scroll. One contained Rasa's body, and the other held his preserved skin.

"Well then, Kirito-kun, what will you do next?" Orochimaru asked. "The Chunin Exams are only half a month away. Would you like me to arrange for you and Pakura to infiltrate Konoha as Rasa's guards?"

Kirito shook his head. "There's no need for that. After you kill Sarutobi Hiruzen, I'll make my own arrangements. Just make sure you have what I need when the time comes. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that Rasa's body will safely reach your 'friends.'"

Leaving these words behind, Kirito and Pakura vanished into thin air.

"Damn it," Orochimaru muttered under his breath once they were gone. "When I take Sasuke's body, you'll be next, Kirito."

Kabuto, standing nearby, adjusted his glasses. "Lord Orochimaru, Rasa's tissues have been collected. Everything is prepared for your future experiments."

Orochimaru nodded, his sinister smile returning. He knew the Impure World Reincarnation would soon become one of his most powerful weapons.

Meanwhile, Kirito and Pakura had left the Fire Country's border and arrived at Tansho Street, a bustling hub of trade and gambling.

"Lord Kirito, aren't we heading to Konoha?" Pakura asked, her voice tinged with confusion.

"We have time before the Chunin Exams," Kirito replied with a faint smile. "I thought I'd pick up some gifts for Chika."

Of course, Kirito had another reason for coming to Tansho Street. His Observation Haki and Sage Mode had detected a familiar chakra signature: Tsunade's. It seemed fate had aligned for them to meet again.
