Chapter 292

"Reaper Death Seal!!"

As if hearing Mito Uzumaki's voice, Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted loudly.

An ethereal aura gathered behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, gradually forming a tall phantom.

The phantom wore a white coat, its skin was purple-blue, not like a human.

It had long white hair, two red ghost horns, a short blade held in its mouth, and its eyes stared hotly at Ulquiorra, as if looking at a delicious dish.

In front of it, Hiruzen Sarutobi's soul was hung high, as if waiting for its judgment!

"What is this?"

The ninjas saw the terrifying phantom behind the Third Hokage and couldn't help but exclaim.

Orochimaru lowered his eyelids and muttered: "Reaper Death Seal..."

When reading the copy of the Sealing Scroll, he had also seen this forbidden technique.

He was also very clear about the price of using this.

"Once this technique is used, Teacher, you will have no room for maneuver..."

Orochimaru looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose eyes were firm, and suddenly felt a touch of emotion in his heart.

That increasingly aging body seemed to have recovered its former youth.

He still remembered the heroic posture of his teacher when he was young, who feared nothing, as well as his boasting about why he became the Third Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was called a Ninja Hero at that time, gradually lost his ambition as he aged, and slowly became a decaying old man.

Unexpectedly, he could still see that look his teacher had back then.

There is no turning back once the bow is drawn!

The current Hiruzen Sarutobi could no longer feel anything around him.

His eyes only had Ulquiorra!

A thick, purple-blue giant claw, covered with dense black patterns and tied with a string of prayer beads, pierced through his soul and reached straight toward Ulquiorra!

Hiruzen Sarutobi panted heavily, sweat streaming down his forehead, but he still smiled and gasped: "It's... over!"

The giant claw reached into Ulquiorra's body.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled: "As an exchange for the effect of this sealing technique, one must hand over one's own soul to the Death God."

"A ninjutsu that uses life as the price!"

"At the same time the sealing ends, my soul will also be devoured!"

"And your soul will be swallowed into the Death God's belly along with my soul, never to ascend to heaven for eternity!!"

Whoosh—

The effect of the Reaper Death Seal instantly caused an uproar among the Ninja Alliance, shaking their minds!

Only then did they realize that Konoha's Hokage was actually going to use his own life as the price to perish together with that monster!

Is this the courage of a Hokage?!

"Lord Hokage..."

Konoha's ninjas stared blankly at Hiruzen Sarutobi, a sense of sorrow rising in their hearts.

The resentment accumulated during the invasion of the Land of Whirlpools had long since disappeared, replaced by lofty reverence for the Hokage.

The integrity of Konoha's Hokage has never disappeared!

They clenched their fists, their eyes filled with tears.

In an instant, the impression Hiruzen Sarutobi left on them during the invasion of the Land of Whirlpools was instantly reversed!

This is their Konoha's Hokage!

This is their Konoha's Hokage!

Ohnoki's eyes were full of complexity; he had never expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to have such courage!

Respect for Hiruzen Sarutobi also arose in his heart!

Even if it means sacrificing his own life, he wants to gain some advantage for the Ninja Alliance...

Hiruzen Sarutobi...

For so many years, I really misjudged you!

Konoha's Hokage is still that Hokage full of courage!

"Teacher..."

Jiraiya looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi silently, a feeling of sadness surging in his heart.

However, this is their destiny as ninjas...

From the first day they became Hokage, they were prepared to sacrifice themselves.

Even the Hokage is no exception.

Although Jiraiya was extremely reluctant to part with Hiruzen Sarutobi in his heart, he had no reason to stop their Hokage from going to his death!

His teacher, Konoha's Hokage, gave his life for the peace of the Ninja World!

Jiraiya's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth: "Teacher, everything you have done for the Ninja World will be deeply engraved in people's hearts!"

"Do it to your heart's content!!"

"Reaper Death Seal!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi used all his strength and roared!

As if feeling Hiruzen Sarutobi's emotions, the tall phantom behind him raised its purple-blue giant claw and slowly took down the short blade held in its mouth.

Its long tongue, covered in saliva, licked the corner of its mouth, and the other purple-blue giant claw that had reached into Ulquiorra's body slowly pulled outward!

Suddenly, a touch of human-like confusion appeared on the demonic face of the tall phantom behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The purple-blue giant claw inside Ulquiorra's body pulled outward with force.

But it was as if there was another hand inside Ulquiorra's body struggling against it.

No matter how much strength it used, it couldn't pull out even a tiny bit of Ulquiorra's soul.

The ninjas of the Ninja Alliance saw this scene and couldn't help but feel confused.

What's going on? Hasn't it started yet?

But only the user, Hiruzen Sarutobi, knew the Death God's current predicament.

The soul, can't be pulled out?

This...

What on earth is going on?!

Suddenly, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's terrified eyes.

Ulquiorra, with a 'pop', placed his long black claw on the Death God's thick purple-blue arm.

"You, too, deserve to be called a Death God?"
