The entire process proceeded without incident, until...

With a loud bang!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was lying on the ground waiting to die, suddenly disappeared—it was a shadow clone!

Meanwhile, the Vajra Staff that had fallen to the ground not far behind Pain transformed into the likeness of Hiruzen Sarutobi with a puff of white smoke.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was resolute, and his hands were clasped together in a hand seal.

"A terrifying enemy like you should just join me in the embrace of death!"

"Corpse Demon Sealing!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi used his last bit of strength and chakra to set this trap.

The careless Pain was indeed caught off guard and fell into the trap.

When he turned around, he found himself unable to move, and then he saw the giant Grim Reaper floating behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"So this is what the legendary Grim Reaper looks like..."

Pain spoke slowly, his face showing no fear.

Because even if it's Death, this body is already a corpse that's long dead!

Even if death itself comes, can it kill the already dead again?

Of course, another reason is that Pain was in a weakened state at this time. After being targeted by the Grim Reaper, he had no ability to resist and simply watched coldly.

But then, the Grim Reaper's left hand, covered in curse seals and entwined with prayer beads, pierced directly through the soul offered by Hiruzen Sarutobi. Then, this Grim Reaper's hand simultaneously passed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's body and then probed into Pain's body, attempting to extract and seal his soul.

But the next moment, something happened that Hiruzen Sarutobi never expected!

The invincible Grim Reaper's hand grasped nothing, failing to pull anything out of Pain's body, as if it were nothing more than a shell.

"This is impossible?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, enduring the pain, was immediately shocked and refused to believe that his desperate attempt to unleash the Reaper Death Seal had failed!

Then Pain spoke up, saying, "Summoning the Grim Reaper and sealing the soul is indeed a formidable forbidden technique. But you have overlooked one thing from beginning to end: if this body is merely a manipulated corpse, how could you possibly collect my soul from afar?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened in shock, and blood began to trickle from the corner of his mouth.

So that's how it is!

Upon learning the truth, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression instantly turned pale.

In the end, the chance to turn the tide was gone. He lost this battle, Konoha lost, and it was a crushing defeat!

But the next second, a sharp sword pierced his heart from behind, and then, without slowing down, it skewered Pain Deva Path like a candied hawthorn!

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed up a mouthful of blood. He turned his head with difficulty and saw Sasuke, Shinji, and others holding the Kusanagi sword not far away.

"Uchiha...Sasuke?"

He never imagined that Sasuke would be the one to betray him in the end.

Sasuke coldly said, "Since you're going to die anyway, go see my parents, my brother, and my clan with regret! Don't worry, I've already sent Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Danzo Shimura down there to wait for you. You won't be lonely down there."

"So you already knew... So you came back this time for revenge?"

"That's right, I not only want revenge, but I also want to get justice for Itachi!"

"Itachi...could it be that he's already..."

"He is dead, right in front of me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes in pain, his memories filled with scenes from that year.

When he opened his eyes again, he asked, "After I die, will your revenge continue?"

Sasuke's answer was, "Is Konoha still worth my time?"

[Chapter 527. Feeling Invincible]

Death's dagger slashed downwards with a whoosh, and there was nothing there.

In the end, he could only pout and swallow the soul of Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose eyes were already closed.

Regardless of the circumstances, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had used the Reaper Death Seal, was destined to die, but it is an undeniable fact that he ultimately died at Sasuke's hands.

All I can say is that he got the kill at the right time.

Even Shinji couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Of course, others don't see it that way.

For example, Naruto Uzumaki, who ran over when he saw someone here and witnessed this scene firsthand.

Naruto was stunned. He never expected to see Sasuke at this moment, let alone that Sasuke would kill the 'Grandpa Hokage' from behind.

It felt like my worldview was collapsing.

In addition, there's Pain, who was inexplicably stabbed along with someone else.

Nagato was taken aback by this unexpected turn of events.

Especially after seeing Shinji appear, he felt even more confused, unable to figure out which side this guy was on or what he wanted to do.

Of course, Nagato has long since given up on the idea of ​​bringing the other party into the Akatsuki organization.

Instead, they were constantly on guard against the other party poaching their partners.

"Why...why?"

Naruto rushed over and angrily questioned Sasuke.

Sasuke merely glanced at him before sheathing the extended Kusanagi sword.

He couldn't even be bothered to explain those things to the other person, because he knew it would be pointless.

Anyway, it didn't matter anymore. He had personally killed all the high-ranking members of Konoha, and Konoha had been destroyed. He had almost vented all the anger and hatred in his heart.

Next, he will embark on a completely new chapter in his life.

"Itachi, do you see? Perhaps you will be disappointed, but I am not you. I cannot protect this decaying village, so let it perish here."

Sasuke looked up at the sky, sheathed his sword, and turned to leave.

Being ignored like this only fueled Naruto's desire for a reason!

"Don't leave!"

Naruto immediately created dozens of shadow clones to surround Sasuke.

At this point, Sasuke had very little physical strength and chakra left, and having already completed his revenge, he had no intention of fighting again.

So he frowned and said, "Get out of my way. I don't want to fight you right now, and I have no interest in it."

"No, you have to explain yourself clearly today!"

Naruto, relentless, immediately took action.

The experience of his previous crushing defeat has always been Naruto's motivation to improve, and his training at Mount Myōboku has also made him feel that he can completely defeat Sasuke.

For several reasons combined, Naruto ignored the real enemy Pain, as well as Shinji and others who were clearly on Sasuke's side, and actually started fighting Sasuke.

This absurd and comical scene left everyone dumbfounded.

It's estimated that even if the dead Hiruzen Sarutobi were to open his eyes again and see this scene, he would be so angry that he would kill the Shinigami and take back his own soul.

However, Shinji doesn't have time to deal with such a trivial matter right now.

Just now, after Hiruzen Sarutobi died, the mission was finally completed!

His bond with Afei has finally reached 591 points.

I also successfully obtained the [Domain Construction Scroll]!

The curse soul value was fixed at 160600.

If the current situation weren't so unfavorable, Shinji would have already begun constructing his domain.

"Payne? It's time to settle the score for the trouble he caused me a few times before."

Shinji suddenly squinted and said something.

Then, just as Pain was about to make a move, Shinji unleashed a [curse] without explanation!

"Imprisonment!"

Pain was immediately unable to move.

"A strike that breaks through stealth!"

Shinji, wielding the Executioner's Blade, teleported behind Pain and slashed out, taking away Pain's head.

Then his hands moved even faster, a cold light flashing, and he directly ripped Pain's Deva Path into eight pieces!

In the past, he might have been more wary.

However, Pain is currently in a weakened state, and he is no longer the same person who used to be chased around!

He walked over, picked up Pain's head, and held it in front of himself.

"I know you can see that this is just a small counterattack. You don't really think we're just going to let the score go, do you? But don't worry, you want a Jinchūriki, right? Wait for me, I'll send one over in a bit."

Pain, now only a head remaining, opened and closed his mouth slightly and said, "Fine, I'll be waiting for you."

After saying that, there was no further sound.

Shinji didn't hesitate and immediately began to destroy the evidence.

What does it matter to him whether it's Yahiko or not?

After dealing with the troublesome person, Shinji completely ignored the two kids who were fiercely fighting and chose to start building his domain.

He simply couldn't wait any longer.

Once he completes this step, he will be virtually invincible, if not invincible.

So he immediately chose to use the [Domain Construction Scroll] that he had just acquired.

"An 11% success rate? That's way too low. I even used two [Spell Enhancement Scrolls]. How low would it have been before I used them? 5% or 3%? Fortunately, I can use Spell Soul Value to increase the chances."

Shinji secretly rejoiced that he had accumulated so many Soul Points and immediately invested 89000 points into it!
