Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: The End of Sarutobi Hiruzen!

On the Hokage Square,

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the screen displaying the moment he used the Reaper Death Seal (Shiki Fūjin) . He fully understood now: his life had been saved by the appearance of this strange screen.

Thinking back, it truly felt like a dream.

No wonder the screen had previously shown his soul emerging from the Shinigami's stomach when Orochimaru summoned the past Hokage.

Everything had a reason.

[The Image Continues—]

[A terrifying Shinigami materialized behind Sarutobi, a knife held in its teeth, bearing a wicked grin.]

[Sarutobi knew the Shinigami had been summoned; all that remained was to capture the First and Second Hokage. He withstood their attacks, surged forward with all his might, and grabbed hold of them.]

[In the next instant, the Shinigami's sealing hand extended from Hiruzen Sarutobi's abdomen, forcefully pulling the souls of the First and Second Hokage from their Impure World Reincarnation vessels.]

[At this moment, Hashirama regained some clarity, saying remorsefully, "Sorry, Sarutobi."]

[Tobirama, beside him, managed a satisfied smile, "Caused you trouble, haven't I?"]

(T/N: He was supposed to say monkey at end by i removed it as it doesn't suit for the next talk between the kages)

[The sudden departure of the two Hokage stunned Orochimaru. He never imagined his former teacher possessed such a technique.]

["Teacher, you truly surprise me!"]

On Hokage Square,

Everyone stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi as if looking at a monster.

Onoki: "Sarutobi Hiruzen, sealing two Hokage simultaneously... I acknowledge your capability for that feat."

Terumi Mei: "As expected of the strongest Hokage!"

Fourth Raikage: "This feels different from what I imagined... Why do the First and Second seem so weak? I feel like I could take on two of them myself..."

Konoha Villagers: "Third Hokage is forever a god!!!"

Listening to the praise directed at his teacher, Jiraiya frowned.

As a native of Konoha, his understanding of the First and Second Hokage was that they were far from weak. It seemed the Impure World Reincarnation technique had significantly diminished their strength.

Akatsuki Organization Base,

Hidan: "Kakuzu, it's been a while since you told us about fighting Hashirama back in the war!"

Deidara: "What? Kakuzu fought Senju Hashirama? Awesome, yeah!"

Kakuzu: "..."

Others might not know, Kakuzu thought, but the reanimated Hashirama on that screen probably doesn't possess even one percent of the real Hashirama's strength.

The Senju Hashirama of the past could effortlessly unleash powerful Wood Style techniques...

Wood Dragon Jutsu, Wood Golem Jutsu, even the Sage Art: True Several Thousand Hands came easily to him.

That terrifying strength forced me to resort to throwing a shuriken from an immense distance just to attempt the assassination mission.

[In the Image—]

[With the First and Second Hokage sealed by the Reaper, Hiruzen Sarutobi once again gripped the Adamantine Staff (Enma's transformation) and advanced relentlessly towards Orochimaru.]

[Orochimaru suddenly panicked. He recognized the terrifying power of the sealing technique; being caught by it likely meant death!]

[However, it was too late. Hiruzen and Enma worked seamlessly, restraining Orochimaru's body within moments.]

["It's over, Orochimaru!"]

[In the next second, the Shinigami's hand plunged directly into Orochimaru's body, beginning to slowly extract his soul.]

["Ugh, what is this feeling?" Orochimaru sensed his soul detaching and, for the first time, felt true fear flood his heart. Was he, Orochimaru, going to die here today?]

["No! Go to hell!"] Orochimaru desperately controlled the Sword of Kusanagi, stabbing it fiercely into Sarutobi's chest.]

[Orochimaru stared at Sarutobi in disbelief, trembling as he asked, "Why... why didn't you dodge?"]

[Sarutobi replied with a calm expression, "The price for using the Reaper Death Seal is offering the caster's soul to the Shinigami! There was no need to dodge. I was going to die anyway!"]

[Sweat beaded on Orochimaru's forehead. His soul was already halfway extracted, rendering him unable to perform ninjutsu. He thought frantically, Is this the same sealing jutsu that the Fourth Hokage used on the Nine-Tails back then?]

[Soon, Hiruzen Sarutobi's body began to fail.

He knew he couldn't pull Orochimaru entirely into the Shinigami's stomach. Gritting his teeth, he declared, "Orochimaru, you who are obsessed with ninjutsu, who defiles ninjutsu... I will give you the most fitting punishment! I will take away your ability to perform ninjutsu!"]

[Orochimaru watched in horror as the Shinigami swung its knife down, crying out, "No! No! No!.. Stop! It can't be !"]

[In the next moment, Orochimaru's hands became useless. He could no longer form hand seals, nor could he perform any ninjutsu.]

[At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi's life reached its end. He smiled with satisfaction. "You fool, Orochimaru... Although I regret not being able to take you with me... my student, we will meet again in that world eventually!"]

[After speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes slowly closed. Gazing at Orochimaru's face, he seemed to see the quiet, obedient child Orochimaru once was. He thought, It would have been wonderful if Orochimaru had always stayed that way.] (*˘ ︶ ˘*)(Serene face).

In the present, on the square, Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent. He took out his pipe and began to smoke, seemingly oblivious to those around him.

Nothing was more shocking than witnessing your own demise with your own eyes.

So, he thought, this is how it ends.

In the end, I died at the hands of my own student, on the battlefield defending Konoha.

Thinking about it carefully, he mused, this is perhaps a fitting end for me.

After all, I was the one who let Orochimaru escape back then.

[A/N: If not for previous dialogues between them it should have been like this :-

[At this moment, Hashirama regained some clarity, saying remorsefully, "Sorry, Monkey."]

[Tobirama, beside him, managed a satisfied smile, "Caused you trouble, haven't I? Monkey"]

On Hokage Square,

Everyone stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi not sure what to say after Hokages statement .

Onoki: "Monkey?"

Terumi Mei: "Monkey?"

Fourth Raikage:"Monkey?"

Jiraiya:" Pfft…MONKEY!!!"

Everyone:"Monkey?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: " ..." (--__--")

Uzumaki Naruto: "Wow, So Gramps was called monkey."

(⇀‸↼。)ノ

{Conveys a more troubled or confused state of thought with the scratching.}

... "So what will I call him Monkey Gramps or Old Monkey…hmmm Monkey Hokage sounds cool ..Yeah !!! I have decided that I will call him that next time Dattebayo!!"

Unknowning to Hiruzen that Naruto has created new names for him , could only sigh exasperated and slightly annoyed with term `Monkey` thinking 'Who the hell think they are calling me that , are they strong as First and Second Hokage!!'

Yeah that was supposed to be written by me but i just decided to let the original one.

Do tell me , was it good?]
