Chapter 291

It is time to put an end to this magnificent stage play.

And the name of this stage play shall be "The Strongest Hokage's Calm Death."

His name, Hiruzen Sarutobi, will remain on this stage of the human world forever, to be remembered by all!

The battle changes in an instant.

Seeing that the Five Release Great Combo Bullet Technique had no effect, Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clones, sharing his mind, did not hesitate and swarmed toward Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra was expressionless, waving the green light spear in his hand!

The green light left trails of afterimages!

The speed was so fast that Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clones were torn to pieces instantly before they could even react!

With a few 'pop' sounds!

They turned into trails of white smoke and disappeared!

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned; the pain suffered by the shadow clones was transmitted back to his brain.

Before he could even alleviate the sudden pain, Ulquiorra used Sonido and appeared directly in front of him!

The green light spear slashed down mercilessly from above!

The extreme speed carried a biting airflow!

Before the green light spear even touched his body, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a tearing gust of wind coming from above his head!

The speed was so fast that all the ninjas watching the battle didn't even react!

They didn't even notice that the Third Hokage had already fallen into a disadvantage!

Only Mito Uzumaki, blessed by the Nine-Tails, relied on her decent dynamic vision to capture the movements between Ulquiorra and Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Mito Uzumaki secretly thought, "Not good!"

Her expression became grave; Ulquiorra's attack was too fast and too sudden!

It caused Hiruzen Sarutobi to be unable to react at all!

If he took this hit, Hiruzen Sarutobi would likely be dead or severely injured!

This is not good news for the Ninja Alliance!

Especially not good news for Konoha!

Now, after the last war with the Land of Whirlpools, Konoha has no one left to use.

Even after Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped down as the Third Hokage, there was no better candidate for the Fourth Hokage for a while.

They could only rely on Hiruzen Sarutobi to keep holding on.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi falls in this war, Konoha's strength will plummet once again.

What's more, Hiruzen Sarutobi is, after all, Tobirama's disciple and the Third Hokage personally chosen by Tobirama.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi has done many things to wrong the Senju and Uzumaki clans.

He is still the Hokage of Konoha today!

Mito Uzumaki must never watch Hiruzen Sarutobi die just like that.

Just as she couldn't bear it anymore and was about to take action.

She suddenly noticed that Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was unusually calm.

Even facing that green light spear, there was no emotion in his eyes.

A faint, imperceptible smile even curled at the corner of his mouth!

Little monkey...

What are you trying to do?

Mito Uzumaki subconsciously stopped her steps to rescue him and stared blankly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Because she was afraid that her actions might affect some of Hiruzen Sarutobi's plans.

She could only stop her steps for the time being.

Just at this moment!

Three of Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clones suddenly appeared on the ground beneath Ulquiorra's feet!

Earth Release: Hiding in Surface Technique!

Mito Uzumaki subconsciously flashed this name in her heart.

Generally speaking, the Hiding in Surface Technique is a ninjutsu where the main body sneaks underground to pull the enemy into the ground.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi is worthy of the title of "Ninja Doctor"; he can not only combine the Hiding in Surface Technique with the Shadow Clone Technique!

He can even use three shadow clones to perform the Hiding in Surface Technique simultaneously!

This point alone is enough to prove that his title of "Ninja Doctor" is not just for show!

However, although Hiruzen Sarutobi's plan was very successful, he miscalculated Ulquiorra's strength!

Even though he was cautious enough to use three shadow clones, he still couldn't drag Ulquiorra underground!

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly adjusted his tactics.

Two shadow clones hugged Ulquiorra's legs, and another grabbed Ulquiorra's arm.

And the Hiruzen Sarutobi who was facing Ulquiorra's green light spear head-on suddenly turned into a puddle of mud.

It was an Earth Clone that had been prepared to attract Ulquiorra!

And his main body had already quietly moved away from Ulquiorra's vicinity.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were profound; he took a deep breath and began to form seals without hesitation!

This seal!

Mito Uzumaki whispered in her heart.

A flash of surprise appeared in her usually calm eyes; it seemed she hadn't expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to actually use this forbidden technique!

Reaper Death Seal!

As a member of the Uzumaki clan, she certainly knew the effects of this forbidden technique.

The look in her eyes toward Hiruzen Sarutobi was also filled with disbelief!

This forbidden technique is indeed very strong!

It can summon the Death God to seal the enemy's soul!

Since Ulquiorra's physical body is very powerful, then give up attacking his physical body, start from another direction, and turn to attack his soul instead!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's line of thought is very clever.

The Reaper Death Seal might really be able to defeat Ulquiorra!

But the price of this technique is the soul of the user.

Once the Reaper Death Seal is performed, Hiruzen Sarutobi will undoubtedly die!

Since when did the little monkey have such resolve?!

While Mito Uzumaki was surprised in her heart, a touch of gratification also arose.

After so many years, the little monkey finally has a bit of the responsibility of a Konoha Hokage!

It can be considered as leaving a bit of dignity for Tobirama's original choice.

It's just that she hesitated at this moment.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi uses the Reaper Death Seal and she doesn't stop him, he will definitely die!

Konoha will lose its Hokage again.

But it is clear that Hiruzen Sarutobi also considered the consequences of using this technique.

That proves he has already thought everything through.

If she goes to stop him now, wouldn't that be...

"It's not easy to finally have the look of a Ninja Hero, so let him be; it can be considered the last bit of dignity for Konoha's Hokage."

The Nine-Tails' voice sounded in Mito Uzumaki's heart.

For Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, the Nine-Tails was disdainful.

Konoha's First Hokage was so powerful, he even hung it up and beat it!

It directly raised the status of the Hokage position in its heart infinitely!

So by comparison, the Nine-Tails looked down on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But at such a moment, being able to make such a determination still made it look at Hiruzen Sarutobi with new eyes.

Well, a little bit, but not much.

Mito Uzumaki sighed silently and chose to respect Hiruzen Sarutobi, the decision of their Konoha Hokage.

"Little monkey, let the majesty of Konoha's Hokage be displayed to the Ninja World once again!"
