"Naruto!"
Jiraiya called out, unable to move from his place since he was busy holding down Minato.
"Naruto!"
"Tsunade!" Hiruzen called out while trying to get up.
(Bang!)
Tobirama pushed Hiruzen down by stepping on him with his foot.
"Hokage-dono!" Rasa called out in concern.
*Blerg!*
Hiruzen coughed out some spit.
Meanwhile, Tsunade was shivering upon the sight of her blood.
Rasa knew the situation was entirely in Orochimaru's favor. Despite Naruto being only thirteen years old, he was able to fight on the same level as them. In fact, he was doing well compared to them until Hashirama and Naruto fell down unconscious for some reason.
("I've got to revive that kid!")
("He might be our only way out of this…") Rasa thought following which he turned towards the direction where Naruto and Hashirama were at and ran.
"Hmm….?" Orochimaru saw Rasa running towards Naruto.
"Hmph!"
< Slithering Snake mode! >
Orochimaru's lower half of his body turned into that of a snake's tail, following which he slithered towards Rasa at speed higher than what Rasa was running with.
However…
(Whoosh!)
Minato disappeared from within Jiraiya's hair.
"What?" Jiraiya stared in disbelief.
(Bang!)
Rasa was knocked down to the floor by Minato's fist.
"Kazekage-dono!" Hiruzen shouted.
*Ugh!*
Rasa groaned in pain.
"Kazekage-sama!" Jiraiya ran towards Rasa.
"Where do you think you are going, Jiraiya?" Orochimaru slithered towards Jiraiya while simultaneously taking out a kunai from his pocket.
"Orochimaru!" Jiraiya turned to face Orochimaru.
(Bang!)
Orochimaru's kunai parried against Jiraiya's hair which was as strong as steel.
"Hmph!" Orochimaru smirked.
"Why do you want to destroy the village?"
"Why do you want to kill Sarutobi-sensei?"
"Don't you know that no good will come by deriding the dead and playing around with time?" Jiraiya asked.
"Why, you ask?"
"Do you know the joy and sense of accomplishment of hurting one whom you once called sensei?" Orochimaru asked.
"You…" Jiraiya's face contorted with anger.
"How would you know?"
"You all just saw him as a regular sensei after all," Orochimaru said.
"How is your vision of him any different?" Jiraiya asked.
"Sarutobi-sensei!"
"Though, people knew of him by the title God Of Ninjas during his prime…"
"He was also praised as the man who knew all jutsus existent in the Hidden Leaf village…"
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, the professor!" Orochimaru said.
Jiraiya instantly understood where the conversation was going…
Orochimaru was one who researched all jutsus to gain eternal life, something that would definitely be a taboo under Hiruzen's tutelage.
"I only wanted him to see the results of my hard work after all these years and give him a fitting death."
"Doesn't that make sense?" Orochimaru asked.
"Heh!"
"Only a twisted student like you can come up with that kind of an explanation!" Jiraiya replied.
"Twisted?"
"You may be right; however, a human dying to their natural lifespan despite having chakra and other energies to support is even more twisted! Don't you think?" Orochimaru asked.
Jiraiya frowned.
Orochimaru's idea may seem reasonable from the outside; however, the experimentation process and the cost of calling upon a dead one was based on an exchange of equal value.
A life for a life.
No matter what Orochimaru did, it was still something that could not be forgiven. Worst of all, many innocent citizens and ninjas were forcefully involved in his experiments.
Hiruzen who was under Tobirama made use of the opportunity to bend his thumb and use the fingernail to cut a slit on his index finger…
Tobirama, however, did not suspect anything while Minato stood beside Rasa.
Hiruzen took a deep breath following which he quickly brought his hands together.
< Ninja Art - Summoning Jutsu! >
"Come OUT!"
"MONKEY KING ENMA!"
Hiruzen announced.
(POOF!!!)
Tobirama reacted by sending a punch into the cloud of smoke.
(BANG!)
The sound resounded throughout the barrier.
"Hmph!"
"Something, Pesky has appeared, eh?" Orochimaru stared at the smoke.
"It's been a long time!" A voice boomed from within.
….
"Sarutobi"
The smoke slowly cleared away to reveal a huge white monkey with a big Hidden Leaf headband which wore a black suit with mesh armor underneath, over which the monkey wore a sleeveless kimono shirt with white fur trimmings, and markings reminiscent of tiger stripes on it which is held closed by a red sash.
Orochimaru frowned to see Enma holding onto Tobirama's first like it was nothing.
Hah! Enma sent Tobirama flying away with a palm.
(Bang!) Tobirama landed on the ground.
"Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, a Kazekage, a boy and the three dead Hokages…" Enma murmured as he analyzed the scene.
("Looks like Orochimaru started it all") Enma thought as he turned towards Hiruzen.
"I knew this would happen," Enma said.
*Ugh!*
Hiruzen managed to get up slowly…
"You're pathetic, Sarutobi…"
"It's because you didn't kill him back then," Enma said.
————FlashBack———-
Hiruzen led a team of ANBU units to a secure hideout at the outskirts of the village.
*Water Splash*
The team runs through the underground settlement that had the floor filled with water.
*stops!*
Hiruzen traces his hand across the surface of the door, following which he signals his team…
'he's here!'
*door opens*
Hiruzen steps inside the room and sees shelves neatly stacked with glass jars containing living tissues and organs.
Inside stood a lone figure at a table…
"I've been found out, eh…?" Orochimaru sighs, following which he turns his head and glances at Hiruzen who stood by the door.
"It's too bad," Orochimaru said.
"Orochimaru!"
"What's the meaning of this?" Hiruzen asked.
"Here, I'd set so many booby traps…"
"So, I was quite surprised."
"But, I see…"
"So it was you," Orochimaru said.
"Recently, there was a steady stream of people going missing from the village,"
"There was also information that you had been acting strangely…" an ANBU agent spoke.
"Orochimaru-sama!"
"Why is a ninja of your rank doing such a thing?" Another ANBU agent asked.
"Shall I kill you, too?" Orochimaru asked with a crazed look across his face!
"Orochimaru!"
"Sure enough, this was your doing..?"
"Say it!"
"What were you doing here?" Hiruzen asked.
"Alas!"
"I've been found out."
"There's no point in acting cute then…." Orochimaru paused following which he turned to face Hiruzen…
"It's for jutsu development!" Orochimaru announced proudly.
"Orochi!"
"You bastard!"
"You dared to kill a fellow ninja for that?" An ANBU member cursed out of anger.
Hiruzen closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"As I thought.."
"A forbidden Jutsu, eh…?"
"What is that you want?" Hiruzen asked as he opened his eyes.
"I want everything!"
….
"Get every jutsu and understand all of the truths of this world!"
"The one who first mixed blue and yellow and named the new color made in that way, green."
"I just want to do the same thing."
"If blue is chakra and yellow is a sign.."
"and green is a jutsu.."
"In the same way that there are no limits to the kind of colors there are probably also tens of thousands of jutsu in this world…"
"But in order to get any and all of the jutsu…"
"as well as the truths, a long time is necessary."
"It's the one who takes those long years to know everything, who can suitably be called the ultimate individual."
"For me, the lifespan of the human body is too short."
"Even if I were to be called the Hokage, If I die, it all ends there," Orochimaru said.
("It couldn't be…")
"Orochimaru…"
"Could it be that jutsu you are testing here is…"
"Right!" Orochimaru interrupted.
"It sure could be…"
"The Immortality Jutsu!" Orochimaru announced with a crazed and an excited look on his face.
("Those eyes…") Hiruzen stared at Orochimaru...
("Eyes with malice and ambition concealed in them…")
("I had noticed that you had such tendencies, but pretended not to know…")
…
("A genius who brimmed over strongly with ability…")
("Nothing less than a phenomenon that comes once in several decades.")
("So I wanted to think that, you would carry on my own will and power…")
…
("The softness on my part..")
("Created the conditions of that time as well as now!") Hiruzen thought.
("Are you going to kill me?") Orochimaru asked in a devil like voice.
Hiruzen did not pay heed and continued…
< Boar > < Dog > < Bird > < Monkey > < Ram >
< Ninja Art - Summoning Jutsu! >
(POOF!)
Monkey King Enma had appeared.
"I wonder if you can…"
"Sarutobi-sensei!" Orochimaru shouted following which, he performed a bunch of hand seals in rapid succession.
(Whoosh!)
A windstorm rushed through the room breaking apart everything and also harming all the ANBU's, Enma and Hiruzen in the process.
Enma and Hiruzen however, managed to withstand the attack.
(Whoosh!)
Orochimaru slipped past the two and appeared at the door.
"Kill Him, Sarutobi!"
"Now's your only chance!" Enma suggested in desperation.
Orochimaru turned back to see if Hiruzen would go ahead with the suggestion.
However, he did not sense any killing intent.
He then took the opportunity to leave the place, once and for all!
"Sarutobi…"
"You…" Enma was dumbstruck.
"I couldn't kill him…" Hiruzen murmured.
——— End Of FlashBack ———
"Enma!"
"Please!" Hiruzen raised his arm.
"Sarutobi…"
"You…" Enma understood at this moment that Hiruzen was no longer indecisive.
"Got it!" Enma responded.
"SHIT!" Orochimaru cursed.
"Hmph!" Jiraiya's hair extended to bind Orochimaru.
"Where do you think you are going?" Jiraiya asked.
Enma lifted up his leg to enter a particular stance.
< Transform! >
< Adamantine Staff! >
Tobirama ran towards Hiruzen.
Hiruzen, however, reacted quickly.
(Bam!)
Hiruzen pierced a gaping hole through Tobirama using the staff.
*Ugh!*
Orochimaru's facial expression twisted.
("Everyone has put in too much effort to come out victorious today…")
Hiruzen turned to look at Orochimaru right in the eye with the Will of Fire clearly shining brighter than before in his heart.
"Orochimaru!"
"Today!"
"I will make sure to kill you!" Hiruzen announced
