Chapter 165 The Advisor of Death
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed wildly. His distorted and twisted emotions were satisfied by his appetite at this moment. He had known about a dish since childhood and had always longed to taste it. What a blessing, what happiness!
If tears could be shed, Hiruzen Sarutobi would probably be weeping right now.
So now...
"Hahaha, come on, let's become one!"
"Damn it!"
Orochimaru watched Hiruzen Sarutobi slaughter and devour, and felt an immense sense of unease. Originally, this was just a simple task—simply cleaning up a man-eating monster within the Land of Fire.
To be honest, although Orochimaru took action personally, he was actually just showing his attitude. He didn't really take this mission to heart. But he didn't expect that they would encounter such a thing.
They can't be killed, and it seems they can grow stronger by eating people. This is troublesome, this is really troublesome.
He had just used the Edo Tensei technique to try and dispel Hiruzen Sarutobi's current impure body, allowing his soul to return to the Pure Land. However, he failed. The Edo Tensei body on Hiruzen Sarutobi's body was no longer the same as before. The head constructed from the Edo Tensei technique had almost merged with his soul, and the remaining remains within it had already dissolved.
It can be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi can now be considered a new and special life form.
"Teacher, you've become like this, what's the point of you still living? Wouldn't it be better to just die obediently?"
Orochimaru pondered for a moment and immediately decided to use the sealing technique, Impure World Reincarnation. You're immortal, aren't you? You don't have the energy absorption ability of Uchiha Tsukuyomi, so I'll just seal you away.
Moreover, they are currently working on the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
However, Orochimaru soon discovered that his naiveté was wrong. Sealing techniques were indeed effective, but the problem was that Hiruzen Sarutobi also knew them, so he couldn't seal them at all. In fact, several times, he, the Hokage, was almost eaten alive by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
We can't win, we simply can't win!
Koharu Utatane looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a grim expression, took a step back, and had already decided to retreat. Since becoming an advisor, she had not fought for too long, and she had also grown old. Although she had not forgotten her ability to kill, she no longer had the strength she had in her youth.
It's better to preserve her talents for later. Let the younger generation handle the fighting and hard work; after all, she's an advisor to Konoha.
There are more important things to do.
Thinking of this, her attack slowed down. However, in a place she didn't notice, some grayish-white fragments, like dead skin, appeared behind her. In the instant she relaxed her guard, a huge maw with gleaming white fangs lunged at her.
"not good!"
However, even though she reacted, it was too late. Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth was already biting into her waist, and the terrifying force tore half of her body apart, spurting out scarlet blood.
"ah!!!"
"No, Hiruzen, you can't, you can't! I'm Koharu Utatane! I'm your comrade! You can't eat me! Konoha needs me! I'm Konoha's advisor! You can't eat me!!!"
Koharu Utatane collapsed to the ground, her life beginning to ebb away. Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't eat her, she wouldn't live much longer in her current condition. Even then, she still hadn't given up hope of living, or rather, she was terrified, terrified of being devoured alive.
"Hahaha, comrade, that's right—comrade—comrade, delicious! Hahaha!!!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed, curled his tongue, and took Koharu Utatane into his mouth. With a chilling scream, Koharu Utatane lost her life.
Soon after, amidst desperate cries, Mitokado Homura, his former comrade, was also devoured and merged with Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"retreat!!!"
Orochimaru's voice rang out, stating that with victory no longer an option, a strategic retreat and leaving this place had become the only choice.
Konoha's defense seems to have weakened.
The current Konoha, though called Konoha, is not a temporary stronghold. Apart from people, there is nothing there. Even the people patrolling around the village are few and far between. There is a severe shortage of personnel, and so many people have died.
Some have suggested using the Impure World Reincarnation technique to bring these dead people back to work, but this forbidden technique is originally used to create cannon fodder and human bombs. The people summoned have no combat power except for their previous intelligence.
Summoning someone now before the Impure World Reincarnation technique is fully perfected is a complete waste of resources.
"ah!!!"
Inside the prison, Naruto struggled frantically. His guards had left, and now was his best chance to escape.
"Nine-Tails, power, give me power!!!"
He roared madly, demanding power from the Nine-Tails, which had been completely sealed away.
"Kid! What power do you have to offer me?!"
Inside the sealed prison, Kurama was frantically urging its power. Gradually, some chakra flowed out of its body and slowly entered Naruto's body, and some golden light appeared on Naruto's body.
"resonance!!!"
The Nine-Tails roared, feeling as if its body was about to explode. Through constant thought and experimentation, it had actually come up with a solution: to connect and resonate its chakra with Naruto's, working together to forcefully break through the seal. This method would greatly damage Naruto's body, but it wouldn't be fatal.
With enough power, they could tear open the prison and escape.
When they have completely broken the seal within their bodies, it will be time for them to take revenge on Konoha!
However, that's where it ends!
They underestimated the seal within their bodies. The seal within them now was not the one that Jiraiya had to exert all his strength to release, but a seal designed by Tobirama Senju himself. It was already quite an achievement that they were able to release even a trace of power.
After all, he was no longer a Jinchūriki, but rather the coffin that sealed the Nine-Tails. Becoming a Jinchūriki came with conditions; otherwise, Naruto would be dead by now.
In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, the person who most wanted him dead was his father's teacher, Jiraiya, the one who suffered a complete disability because of him...
