The battle that would shake the earth and heaven didn't happen since, in their first confrontation, Enma, who was confident in his defense and the hardness of his body, was bleeding from Orochimaru's treasured sword, Kusanagi.
Yet, if one looked closer, they would see an invisible aura that clad it over, making it sharper and durable.
Naturally, as Orochimaru had been turned by Shinra into a vampire, he was also taught to use the Haki, and as a swordman, wasn't Shinra also the best teacher, too?
Frankly, with Shinra as a backing, Orochimaru felt like he had taken off and soared high into the sky without anything that he was afraid of.
As for whether Orochimaru would betray Shinra or not, heck, even if he learned everything in this world, he knew that he was no match for Shinra. Shinra was like the bottomless sea, and the more he tried to reach him, the more frightened he became, and because of that, he knew his victory was as good as sure.
Nevertheless, this was enough!
Orochimaru felt like Shinra's goal was far higher, and with his limit, as long as he could be by Shinra's side, it was all fine!
"....." Shinra.
Nevertheless, as Enma was easily cut, Orochimaru didn't show mercy and tried to kill this monkey!
"OROCHIMARU!"
Yet, Hiruzen was so angry that he raised his voice!
Enma was his partner, and even if it was an animal, it had accompanied him for decades!
How could he not feel angry when Orochimaru tormented it?!
"Don't get angry at me for your incompetence." Still, Orochimaru's reply was so relaxed. "If you are so powerful, then don't rely on it."
"You bastard!"
Yet, even so, Hiruzen didn't dare to return Enma, since if he did, then he knew that his power would be weakened greatly!
Fortunately!
"Third Hokage!"
"Hokage-sama!"
"You bastard!"
All of the Anbu, who saw their Hokage, were almost defeated by Orochimaru, and quickly came to help, as they tried to attack Orochimaru!
Unfortunately, as they turned their backs, they were all attacked by Orochimaru's allies and killed so easily.
However, some of them were able to help Hiruzen, giving him time to step back and regain his stamina.
"Hiruzen, are you okay?"
"Hiruzen, how are you?"
"....."
As the group of Anbu besieged Orochimaru, Hiruzen was able to retreat, and then saw Mitokado and Utatane, who asked him worriedly.
Useless, he thought.
Unlike Danzo, who fought brutally, ending many lives of those elders of the Hyuga Clan, like a mad dog, while Danzo was cruel, Sarutobi loved him so much since Danzo supported him a lot, but what about Mitokado and Utatane?
The two of them just stood behind and erased their presence as much as possible.
Completely useless!
So, Hiruzen simply ignored the two as his heartache, watching how Orochimaru killed all of those anbu that he had trained with all of his heart, and full of loyalty to him.
"....." Utatane and Mitokado.
"Give me time! No matter what, stop him! If you can't, then we're all going to die!"
Still, even so, even if those two were useless, Hiruzen needed some time since he would use his strongest technique to take down Orochimaru, even if he had to give up his life!
"..."
Utatane and Mitokado were in silence, looking at each other, then looking at Danzo, who was trapped on the side, surrounded by enemies, feeling tense, and also fear, yet when they saw Hiruzen, who was completely focused, they knew that even if they had to give up their lives, they had to do everything they could to buy time for Hiruzen!
Meanwhile, Orochimaru didn't show mercy toward those Anbu as they were all loyal dogs of Hiruzen, and keeping them would lead him into danger. He didn't fear them, and he believed that Shinra had a way to conquer those Anbus, but even so, he had to show everyone the price of fighting him!
The era of Hiruzen was over, and it was a time for Shinra!
Orochimaru thought so, and he didn't give Hiruzen a chance, and was ready to end his teacher's life!
This was enough, he thought.
"It's your time to meet your end, Sensei!"
As for those two Elders who tried to stop him, Orochimaru ignored them!
Utatane and Mitokado, who felt the pressure from Orochimaru quickly, cowered and passed out, or pretended to pass out.
"YOU ARE USELESS!"
Hiruzen, who was known for his patience, snapped at his two friends, but fortunately, his best friend, Danzo, quickly stepped up and blocked Orochimaru!
"HURRY UP, HIRUZEN!"
"DANZO!"
Hiruzen's eyes were full of tears as he saw Danzo, who was all bloody, had arrived in front of him.
Still, even so, even if Danzo had given his everything, clashing his blade of wind, which could cut anything, he was no match for Orochimaru!
Yet, this was enough!
This was enough for Hiruzen to give his last attack!
"DEAD DEMON CONSUMING SEAL!"
As Hiruzen finished his hand seals, an aura of death exuded from his body, and everyone felt a shudder.
However, no one saw anything; they couldn't see anything.
Yet, Orchimaru, who was aimed by this jutsu, clearly saw everything, a creature that was summoned by Hiruzen.
"You are going to die with me, Orochimaru!"
Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
It is a sealing technique developed by the Uzumaki clan to call upon the power of the Shinigami, the god of death!
"Huh?!"
Orochimaru thought that Hiruzen was bluffing, but this time, he lost his calm since he realized that this technique aimed at his soul!
Not his body, but his soul!
"W-What is this?!"
"There is no need for you to know. You will die along with me. It's my duty as a teacher to punish you, and I am also responsible for what you have done, so come with me."
By summoning the God of Death, Hiruzen knew that Orochimaru's fate was as good as dead, but while this technique was powerful, he had to sacrifice his life for it.
However—
"Huh?!" 2x
The one who was startled wasn't just Hiruzen, but also the God of Death, Shinigami.
When Orochimaru felt a threat to his very core, he waved his blade, which he clad with Haki, and somehow, it was connected.
"Huh?"
Orochimaru was surprised, but he didn't give any mercy to the God of Death and sent waves of ruthless attacks toward this Shinigami!
Yes, Shinigami might be in the shape of a soul, and as a soul, it was impossible for a physical attack to hit him, but Haki was able to nullify everything, and because of that, Orochimaru's attack was connected.
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yet, even so, Shinigami wasn't an opponent that Orochimaru could handle, but fortunately, he wasn't alone.
"Boss, help me!"
Orochimaru's roar echoed, causing confusion to everyone.
Boss?
Yet before they could even react, they saw a figure emerge from the crack of a space, and beat the shit out of Shinigami, yet somehow, as it was beaten, something came out from a crack of a space, but this time, it was an entity that everyone could see, something that gave them a scare to their own core.
Huh?
However, this creature didn't pay attention to all of them. Instead, it looked at Shinra and said, "You shouldn't be here."
"....." Shinra.
