Chapter 572 The stubborn old man
Chapter 572 The stubborn old man
If the man in front of me is not Orochimaru, then who else could it be?
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen never expected that the person appearing before him would be his former disciple.
His eyes narrowed slightly, but soon returned to normal, becoming more serious.
"What on earth do you want to do? Orochimaru!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced outside the Four Purple Flame Formation and saw people fighting everywhere.
"Do you know what the consequences will be if you stir up such a dispute?"
Orochimaru smiled faintly, looked at the old man opposite him who was already showing signs of aging, and spoke softly with emotion.
"Just to send away the person I once admired."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned when he heard this, and then fell silent.
He understood the meaning of what the other person said, and his eyes became serious.
"It is not the students' turn to decide the teacher's future, Orochimaru."
Orochimaru just chuckled when he heard this.
The two men then stopped talking, apparently not knowing what to say.
The confrontation between master and disciple is extremely embarrassing in itself, let alone in this situation.
"No matter what, I will never allow you to mess up the entire Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted in a deep voice.
His hands moved suddenly and he quickly received it.
"Earth Escape·Earth Escape River!"
With a loud shout, the ground in front changed rapidly, and a torrent of mud rumbled towards Orochimaru.
Faced with the suddenly changing terrain, the latter easily dodged it with a light leap.
Then, he made seals with his hands.
"Ninja Technique, Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!"
He suddenly bent down and saw a lot of thick snakes being spit out from his mouth. They were densely packed and made sharp hissing sounds, spreading quickly towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The latter was shocked when he saw this scene.
In fact, the Ten Thousand Snakes Array was a very shocking ninjutsu. A large number of poisonous snakes were spewed out from the mouth, covering everything visible to the naked eye, making people feel tingling when they saw it.
Sarutobi Hiruzen formed seals with his hands, inhaled sharply, and then exhaled: "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
In an instant, a huge fire dragon spewed out of its mouth and roared towards the large number of snakes that were rushing over.
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"
Orochimaru formed the seal again.
"Earth Escape·Earth Formation Wall!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen also performed ninjutsu again.
The duel between the two was very exciting, and could be called a contest of ninjutsu, as both of them mastered many ninjutsu.
"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
After a wave of ninjutsu, the two moved quickly and released ninjutsu again.
Within the Four Purple Flame Formation, ninjutsu collided violently, causing waves of ripples. Even on the walls of the barrier, circles of lines appeared.
"Orochimaru, this is really something I never expected!"
"The last enemy in my life may be the monster I personally taught."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked solemn.
A simple competition and contest made him realize that the strength of this eldest disciple was no longer comparable to what it was before.
The aura on his body was as unfathomable as Xia Le's.
"The master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you."
"I have already surpassed you, Sensei!"
Orochimaru smiled faintly.
Then, his body shook, a circle of air radiated out, and his aura suddenly became different.
"Let me send you off with the greatest achievement of my life!"
"It is better to die in battle than to die of old age in obscurity."
"This is the highest respect I can offer to my teacher as a disciple!"
The sudden increase in the sound startled Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart, and he quickly retreated.
Just as he left, a huge snake's mouth rushed out from the ground and bit him fiercely. It can be imagined that if he was a little slower, he would be swallowed into the snake's belly.
"No teacher would be willing to accept such respect from you."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.
His eyes were now fixed on Orochimaru.
One can clearly see that mysterious lines are emerging on the other person's cheeks, and as his robes flutter, he actually has a somewhat immortal-like aura.
"Sage mode?"
"When did such power become so easy to master?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered.
At this moment, Orochimaru formed hand seals again. The seals were simple, no more than three, but the power that erupted was terrifying.
"Immortal Technique: Snake Grass Swallows Cobalt!"
As the cold voice was heard, the ground cracked rapidly, and snakes two meters long with sharp blades on their heads rushed out quickly, opened their mouths, and rushed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.
This scene is so shocking that it makes one's hair stand on end.
"call!"
Taking a deep breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the ground with his right hand.
"Psychic art!"
"Ape Demon!"
The ape demon appeared quickly, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his pupils suddenly contracted and he was horrified.
Because everywhere you look, there are snakes with sword blades on their shoulders, rushing towards here. Just one look at it makes one's scalp tingle and the hair stand on end.
"This time, our enemy is your apprentice? Hiruzen!"
After seeing the overwhelming snake bodies and the figure standing at the highest point, the Ape Demon said solemnly.
"I made you laugh!"
“I never thought that one day I would encounter a situation like this.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
"It seems that he has already betrayed Konoha and joined the Hidden Rain Village."
The ape demon said hesitantly.
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around at the Sand Village fighting with Konoha, and the Rain Village ninjas who were quickly evacuating, and replied after a slight pause.
"This time, it seems to be the result of his own decision."
"Assassinate the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and lead Sunagakure to start this war."
"His target is me without a doubt!"
Upon hearing this, the Ape Demon immediately became furious and said, "What a traitor! You are a traitor who betrays your teacher and ancestors."
"But we cannot ignore his current power."
"Orochimaru is no longer the same as he was before!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, and stretched out his right hand suddenly.
The ape demon immediately transformed into a diamond stick and shouted, "I will do my best to help you eliminate the rebels, Hiruzen!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Okay, let's join forces again and have one final battle!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed.
He held the Vajra Ruyi Stick in both hands and swept it out fiercely.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the snakes were crushed into pieces, and the torrent in front was cut in half.
Sarutobi Hiruzen swept left and right and actually opened a passage, breaking the dangerous situation of this move.
But just when he breathed a sigh of relief, a figure fell from the sky.
As soon as it landed in front of him, its mouth opened.
"call out!"
As the bright light flashed, a silver sword light flew over.
"Grass Pheasant Sword!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils contracted, and out of reflex, he could only block the Enma in front of him.
"when!"
The sound of metal was heard, and the enormous force knocked him away instantly, and then quickly extended and stretched, and finally hit the barrier of the Four Purple Flame Formation heavily.
But until this moment, Orochimaru's attack has not ended yet.
He twisted his head, and the Kusanagi sword in his mouth hit Sarutobi Hiruzen and threw him out again.
"boom!"
After another loud bang, dust rose from the ground, and Sarutobi Hiruzen fell heavily to the ground, creating a big hole in the ground.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, Sarutobi Hiruzen was seriously injured.
He stood up unsteadily and looked at Orochimaru again.
The latter's attack was ruthless and swift, and in just a few moves, it was already in front of him.
Then he stretched out his hand and punched.
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly resisted.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The two men fought continuously, their fists, arms, knees, and legs colliding rapidly, and they were rising and falling and moving quickly on the ground.
When their eyes met, both of them were shocked.
In a trance, they seemed to recall the times when they fought against each other when they were young.
"You've really grown up, Orochimaru!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a sigh.
His breathing became intense, and with every collision, he could feel the tremendous force surging from the other person.
This kind of strength is beyond the physical fitness of ordinary ninjas, obviously due to the bonus of natural energy.
This means that the senior disciple in front of him is extremely familiar with the Sage Mode, and may even have completely integrated this power into himself.
"I have lots of new stuff to show you."
Orochimaru said softly.
His face was calm, his breathing was steady, and his condition didn't seem to be affected by the battle at all.
"is it?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he was kicked away with a bang.
After he stood firmly, he slowly raised his head.
"Immortal Technique: Daluo Sword Formation!"
When an indifferent voice came, Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils suddenly contracted.
What came into view was that behind Orochimaru, there was a sword blade shining with silver light, coiled into a sword formation like a snake shadow, and the bright sword tip was shining with a cold light.
"The snake is the sword, and the sword is the snake."
"This is a new ninjutsu I developed after I mastered Senjutsu Chakra."
Orochimaru said softly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen blinked his eyes and saw that the sword formation in front of him had turned into a snake formation, and the sword blades had turned into snakes.
But in the blink of an eye, it turned back into a sword again.
"Teacher, please give me some comments on this move of mine!"
Orochimaru stretched out his hand and pointed his finger forward.
"咻咻咻咻咻~"
In an instant, sword shadows burst out and rushed straight towards the Third Hokage.
"call!"
The latter took a deep breath, then bent down suddenly and slapped the ground with both palms.
"Fivefold Rashomon!"
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Five portals quickly appeared one after another, blocking the two people.
A large number of sword shadows also impacted Rashomon, weakening its power and ultimately failing to break through.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen's breathing became heavier. He was breathing deeply, his chest heaving violently. It was obvious that he had reached his limit.
"Is this the end?"
He mumbled, his vision blurring.
But only for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes became firm again.
"No, I can't just fall here!"
-
outside world.
Kakashi flashed in front of the Four Purple Flame Formation and frowned as he looked at the barrier that covered a very wide area.
"Is Hokage-sama among them?"
he asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, the Fourth Kazekage was also wrapped in there."
The ANBU next to him answered immediately.
"The Fourth Kazekage."
Kakashi muttered.
Because the halo of the Four Purple Flame Formation was circulating, isolating everything inside and outside, he couldn't see the scene clearly. Of course, the formation barrier that appeared in front of him was obviously improved.
He raised his head and looked at the shining barrier, frowning involuntarily.
It seemed that the only way to break this formation was from the inside, which was very different from the Four Purple Flame Formation he knew.
Just then, Kakashi saw two figures out of the corner of his eye.
His eyes changed slightly, and his figure immediately flashed again and came in front of the two people.
"Teacher, this matter."
Kakashi asked hesitantly.
"It has nothing to do with the Hidden Rain Village, but it was led by Orochimaru."
Xia Le smiled faintly, without hiding anything.
"Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas?!"
Kakashi was shocked.
"It's him!"
"Now, the Hidden Rain Village has to evacuate here, and I have to leave too!"
Xia Le stood up and said.
"In other words, the one who is now trapped in the barrier with the Third Hokage is Orochimaru?"
Kakashi's expression changed.
"We outsiders cannot interfere in the matters between the master and the disciple."
Xia Le smiled lightly.
Then he took a step forward and left in the blink of an eye.
This matter was indeed as he said, it had nothing to do with him and he didn't want to get involved.
It's purely a bad taste of wanting to watch a show.
Within the Four Purple Flame Formation.
"you?!"
Orochimaru was startled when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen holding his arms tightly.
"I remember that your favorite thing is to study, learn, and develop various ninjutsu, right?"
"This point is the same as mine."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with emotion.
Behind him, a ferocious ghost figure emerged, holding a blood-stained dagger in his hand.
"Before leaving, you always have to take something with you, right?"
"Just treat this as the last moment and do something more for Konoha!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes became vague.
Throughout his life, from childhood to adulthood, to middle age, and up to today, everything has been flashing quickly, emerging, turning into phantoms, and glittering by in a hurry.
"it's time!"
His eyes suddenly focused, and Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, feeling that he had never been so clear-headed in his life.
"The corpses are sealed away!"
"Just leave with me, Orochimaru!"
The ferocious evil demon behind him took action and was about to cut Orochimaru in half.
But the latter, at this moment, shook his body and a gust of wind radiated out.
"Immortal magic, divine protection!"
In an instant, a surge of energy shot up into the sky, and a majestic, golden figure emerged from behind him, looming over him.
Seeing this golden god, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened, while the evil spirit holding the dagger showed surprise in his eyes.
Because of the next bird, the golden body suddenly shook its hand.
"Crack~"
The evil ghost's knife-holding hand was opened, and the dagger in his hand almost flew out.
"this?!"
"How can it be!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered.
The Demonic Seal was actually broken!
This kind of thing is the first time in history.
Orochimaru let out a long sigh, his eyes still filled with fear.
He raised his head again, and when he saw the Third Hokage, whose eyes had lost their light and who had fallen limply to the ground, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he sighed softly.
“It’s a pretty good ending!”
"Stubborn old man!"
