Sarutobi Hiruzen's Chakra was already insufficient, with his main body and two shadow clones being the maximum limit, but this was enough!
Sarutobi Hiruzen watched as the two Hokages charged at him again. He also saw Orochimaru standing at a distance, then raised his head to look at the Four Violet Flames Formation, before joining his hands to form hand seals again...
"This time..."
"Let you be buried here!"
As Sarutobi Hiruzen formed the seals, his expression suddenly turned grave: "I am a man who inherited the will of the First Hokage and Second Hokage. Don't underestimate your teacher, Orochimaru!"
"Fuinjutsu: Dead Demon Consuming Seal!"
A menacing Death God apparition suddenly appeared behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, and his two shadow clones swiftly rushed out to grab the First Hokage and Second Hokage!
The menacing Death God apparition behind him bit down on a short knife in its mouth, suddenly extended its claws, and devoured the souls of the First Hokage and Second Hokage!
"The jutsu that once sealed the Nine-tails..."
Orochimaru immediately recalled this jutsu, quickly attempting to retreat, but the Four Violet Flames Formation became the space that confined his movements!
Even if the Four Violet Flames Formation is timely broken, this opening is enough for Sarutobi Hiruzen to seize him!
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen swiftly grabbed Orochimaru's shoulder, completely disregarding his own impending death: "This jutsu will also make my soul a sacrifice but will seal away all threats to Konoha..."
A claw of the Death God had already reached towards Orochimaru's soul!
Orochimaru sensed the loss of his soul, gritting his teeth as he looked at his teacher before him, desperately thinking of a way to delay!
Orochimaru squinted his eyes, a sudden smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Teacher, you didn't think that killing me would end this, did you? How about guessing, who is the true mastermind behind this plan to collapse Konoha? Danzo and I are just pawns to that person..."
"What?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was instantly drawn in by his words!
Could there be someone hiding behind Orochimaru, who exactly is orchestrating all this in the shadows? Is it that guy named Uchiha Obito?
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately thought of a name.
However, before Sarutobi Hiruzen could inquire, a long snake suddenly extended from Orochimaru's arm, swiftly coiling around to Sarutobi Hiruzen's back, opening its mouth and spitting out a sharp sword, piercing through Sarutobi Hiruzen's body!
"You!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils began to dilate slightly.
The old man realized once again that he had fallen for Orochimaru's trap. Orochimaru's purpose was to deliberately divert his attention, just to kill him before the Dead Demon Consuming Seal ended!
Consciousness rapidly began to fade...
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that his life was about to end, trying his best to seal Orochimaru within the Death God's body, but found he no longer had the strength...
The only thing he could do...
Was to seal away part of the soul.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes drooped slightly, holding on to his last breath: "Then I shall take away your arms, making you unable to use Ninjutsu ever again!"
With those words!
Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed a part of Orochimaru's soul, consuming it into the Death God's body!
"You old bastard!"
Orochimaru immediately felt the bizarre sensation in his arms, as if they were burning with flames, and even the skin of his arms had turned a bit bluish-purple, completely powerless!
As Orochimaru watched Sarutobi Hiruzen about to fall to the ground, he suddenly steadied him by the shoulder, moving closer to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and angrily whispered something that would render Sarutobi Hiruzen unable to rest in peace!
"Teacher, I was not lying to you just now..."
"There truly is someone manipulating this plan to collapse Konoha from behind the scenes. That person is someone you would never expect. All of us wanted to use him as a tool..."
"But..."
"Now we have all become his tools."
