The Grim Reaper's hand, extending from Hiruzen Sarutobi's abdomen, pierced Orochimaru's body, tearing at his soul relentlessly.

Orochimaru gritted his teeth, sweating profusely, and locked in a stalemate with Hiruzen Sarutobi!

He absolutely cannot die here!

It's impossible to have Death seal your soul away!

Orochimaru stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi with eyes wide with rage.

Let's see who can last longer!

teacher!

"Orochimaru……"

Even if it means death, I will take you with me!

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his mouth, blood kept gushing out.

His eyes, framed by wrinkles, gleamed with a sharp light.

He gripped Orochimaru's arm tightly with both hands.

Meanwhile, the Grim Reaper's Hand in his abdomen continued to tear at Orochimaru's soul.

Orochimaru let out a series of miserable howls, and a strong smell of blood filled his mouth.

He stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi, forcibly enduring the pain of the Grim Reaper tearing at his soul, and binding his soul within his body.

"Don't think about it!"

Orochimaru's eyes were bloodshot.

A figure appeared out of thin air next to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Orochimaru was stunned; a piece of his soul had been torn away by the Grim Reaper.

Orochimaru immediately focused his mind.

"Muzan!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Muzan who had appeared beside him, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

How did Muzan come to be?

Orochimaru also wants to know the answer to this question!

The Four Purple Flame Formation wasn't broken, so how did Muzan Kibutsuji get in?

"Run."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted at Muzan.

Blood spurted from his mouth.

A hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Muzan really wants to turn Hiruzen Sarutobi into a demon!

Unfortunately, that's impossible.

He reached out his hand to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He stood behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the whip extended from behind him, piercing Hiruzen Sarutobi's chest.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's body trembled violently.

His pupils contracted violently, and his chakra rushed rapidly toward the whip. As the chakra disappeared, intense pain swept through his body, accelerating his demise.

Disbelief appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face.

【Ding! 】

"why?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was deeply shaken.

Why would Muzan do such a thing?

Do you know Zero?

Do not!

Zero definitely doesn't know!

Is Zero about to face betrayal again?

A trace of sorrow and helplessness flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

There's no reason why.

Muzan's voice came from behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"You're going to betray..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi could feel his body growing colder. "Your...mother...?"

Muzan's lips twitched; he desperately wanted to finish off Hiruzen Sarutobi as quickly as possible. Just listen to how disgusting those words were.

How could a male like Reiichi Amamiya possibly lay eggs?

"He is not my mother."

Muzan is telling the truth.

As before, no one believed it.

A look of pain flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Muzan Kibutsuji never regarded Rei Amamiya as his mother from beginning to end!

No wonder he betrayed us...

Having obtained nothing of greater value from Hiruzen Sarutobi, Muzan withdrew his whip.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Orochimaru and knew he couldn't hold on any longer.

Even without Muzan's sneak attack, he might not have been able to completely seal Orochimaru, let alone in his current state after being severely injured.

Since we can't take Orochimaru's soul, we should at least take his hands.

This will prevent Orochimaru from using his hands to perform ninjutsu again!

Having absorbed the chakra, Muzan's figure vanished from the spot.

Orochimaru let out a scream.

His hands were rapidly atrophying.

The Grim Reaper disappeared from Orochimaru's sight.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's body fell to the ground, and blood spread from beneath him.

Orochimaru stood in the pool of blood, trembling as he stared at his out-of-control hands. Hatred shot from his pupils like sharp arrows, seemingly about to pierce Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His hands were completely corroded by the black substance, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not move them.

Orochimaru looked at the Sound Four and ordered in a hoarse voice, "Go!"

The Sound Four instantly appeared beside Orochimaru, pulled out the Kusanagi Sword that had pierced Hiruzen Sarutobi's body, supported Orochimaru with his injured hands, and disappeared into Konoha.

The Four Purple Flame Array also disappeared at the same time.

Dark clouds shrouded the leafs, and raindrops seeped through the gaps between the branches, dripping onto Hiruzen Sarutobi's headband.

The footsteps of the Konoha ninjas approached Hiruzen Sarutobi in a disorderly manner.

They stopped two meters away from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Countless eyes were fixed on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was deathly pale, his eyes were devoid of light, and his chest remained completely still.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha, sacrificed his life.

Chapter 440 Aren't you sad?

When Kakashi learned that Rei Amamiya had gone alone to stop Rin, the leader of the Eternal Bliss Cult who was invading Konoha, he quickly dealt with the ninjas causing trouble in the village and summoned Pakkun without hesitation to track down Rei Amamiya.

Not only him, but the rest of the Konoha ninja also followed behind him to support Amamiya Rei.

Following behind Puck, Kakashi's heart pounded, and an unprecedented sense of panic swept over him.

Everything will be alright!

Zero will be fine!

Kakashi kept repeating it in his mind.

Parker knew the situation was urgent, so it quickly led the way.

In a vast forest a kilometer away from Konoha, Kakashi and the Konoha ninjas stopped.

The Konoha ninjas behind Kakashi were shocked by the scene before them.

Countless trees were snapped in half, their broken surfaces bearing charred marks.

The entire earth cracked open with fissures hundreds of meters long, and a circular pit hundreds of meters in size was completely barren.

A figure with its back to them was kneeling on the ground.

"zero……"

Kakashi charged toward Rei Amamiya.

He stopped beside Rei Amamiya and took her arm.

Rei Amamiya's hair fell down, obscuring half of his face.

Kakashi vaguely saw half of Rei Amamiya's face covered in blood.

Rei Amamiya slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with exhaustion.

Rei Amamiya's eyelids twitched, and she fell towards the ground.

He's going to sleep now. Let whoever wants to deal with the trouble can deal with it!

Anyway, he doesn't want to stay and clean up the mess.

……

Konoha Hospital.

A figure quickly ran into the hall.

Naruto Uzumaki lunged at the front desk and shouted, "My sister... which room is my sister in?"

Everyone knows Rei Amamiya and Naruto Uzumaki.

Seeing that Naruto was about to cry, the nurse at the front desk immediately told him Rei Amamiya's room number.
