Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto! Whoa so tired...surprised I even got this chapter done this early in the morning, spent all night working on it XD So hope you all enjoy the fight between the Fourth Hokage and Third Hokage. So without further adiue, time to respond too the reviews and comments. Oh and I re-read Crossoverpairinglovers challenge over again and notice that Fu and Yugito are supposed to be reccomended...As much I don't mind the idea and all, but curious how many times the two Jinchurikii's been used as a paring? That and I don't really have any good idea about their personlaity and such but if you guys want atleast one of them in let me know, cause I will have to make a few changes too this story and the sequeal. Oh well to the reviews and comments!
Scarletvirus33: Thanks glad you enjoy the chapter with TenTen : ) As for reason why Mia and Sho was in there, is so this way that the chapter wouldn't really feel short, although granted focusing entirly on TenTen will be great and all, but it wouldn't make much sense of knowing what was happening with the Anbu's and their situation with the arena. But yeah see where your coming from and really liked it myself, especially since the girl is specialized in Fuunjutsu herself in this case Sealing her weapons in scrolls and such, that variety with the girl is great as well having Naruto and the others jutsu's sealed inside scrolls : ) I too hope you enjou this chapter as well with the fight between Sarutobi and Minato XD
It does beg the question of how Orochimaru even did manage to get Minato's body in the first place! Since the third coffin in the anime was supposed to be the fourth.
Crossoverparinglover: lol what can ya do in a situation like that XD
RIP-Cynder: Lol yes Danzo is good in this story ^^
Jinchuuriki-san: Thank you and hope you continue reading : )
Davethedark: Just did lol hope your enjoying the story : )

Chapter 36: Fourth Hokage vs. The third Hokage
"Panther…Dragon what have you done?" were the exact words that Sarutobi called out to his fellow two Anbu's, as they were confused by the sudden question or should say dread that were behind those words, as they both turn around to face their opponent known as Orochimaru, only to let out gasps at the sight of who they were looking back towards them.
"Lord Hokage…it's been awhile and Mia" He let out a small proud smile to the woman as she couldn't believe who it was that she was looking at! Even Sho couldn't believe what they were seeing either, considering that Orochimaru just reanimated both the first Hokage and the fourth! How in the hell that Orochimaru managed to do that is beyond even his reasoning especially when it comes to forbidden jutsu's! "You've grown a lot over the years Mia, are you and Kakashi getting along well?" He asked the Hyuuga, who just brought out her katana out with gritted teeth but still nodded to the fourth either way. He was so pale, so…not himself as his luscious blond hair was dull and bleached a bit as well his uniform.
Then both Mia and Sho shifted their gaze towards the first Hokage, who stepped out from the coffin as well looking up to the three of them in front of him, with his own dead like smile. "Hiruzen Sarutobi, looks like you've got some well, organized Anbu and precious people on your side" He explained to the third who nodded slowly with a small smile, "These two…can be proven too be difficult working together. Just I expect from someone like you Sarutobi" He finished while the three of them were squaring each other off, with Sho and Mia having their weapons out ready and willing to serve the Hokage.
Whom got his BO staff ready by placing the weapon behind his lower back with one arm gripping onto it with a tight grip, as he leer towards Orochimaru and responded back to the First. "Thank you, these two are very well train and have the will of fire to protect both the village and I the Hokage. Although these two can be somewhat of wild guns if you catch my drift" He snickered at the end causing the fourth and first, to laugh at the joke along with Sho and Mia deadpanning at the way they were being treated. Although they all shook out of it when Orochimaru was getting impatient by all of this talking that is going around.
"Enough, I didn't summon the two of you to get reacquainted" Shouted the snake sannin as he appeared right behind the two Hokage's and stabbed two Kunai's with tag seals wrapped around them, causing the two to stiffen a bit and then those two weapons fused themselves with the two of them, regaining both their Chakra and Health in their bodies as their colors were returning back into their bodies, all the while their three opponents tsk out a bit all the while staggering back a bit feeling the enormous chakra that were going through the once dead bodies, are now alive and willing to fight the three of them.
Orochimaru was just laughing and laughing, watching his new jutsu taking place and being amazed at the results that were showing too the snake sannin. "Incredible would you agree Sarutobi sensei? Their just like the original's with all their chakra and skills, reflexes you name it!" He shouted out to the three as they all glared hard at the snake sannin with hateful eyes, along with watching the two previous Hokage's stretching their limbs and cracking their shoulders a bit as the three were getting ready for any attacks that may befall them.
Before they could even flinch, the fourth Hokage already dashed forward with great vigor as Mia and Sho both twisted their bodies a bit as the blond hair Hokage, ran right between them and shoved the two apart, not forcefully or putting his famous seals on them. No his primary Target was none other than Sarutobi, whom quickly spun his staff forward by twirling it and clashing with Minato's specialized Kunai as the two clang one another.
Glaring hard and gritting his teeth, Sarutobi can see the frustration and anger in the man eyes were direction them all on him…"I know, I have failed you Minato…But you must fight over Orochimaru's control!" Sarutobi thought in his head as the two were sharing a silent message between each other. Then the two went into a full blown hand to hand combat, as Sarutobi swung the staff upward to push away Minato who in return spun his body full and throwing out his special Kunai that zip passed Sarutobi.
Knowing full well what this jutsu had Sarutobi as fast he could get quickly formed some hand signs. "Earth style: Mud wall!" he cried out, clapping his hands together and slamming them both down into the rooftops, creating a massively huge wall mad of solid Mud as it rise in front of him towering high it could get.
Flash of yellow disappeared behind him and then heard what sounded like swirling energy admitting from behind the wall. The rasengan technique, that is famous and well known back in the third great ninja world. Clashed with the mud wall with enough power erupted and broke the giant wall in pieces! Shifting his brown eyes to the left after what sounded like slithering on the roof and footsteps charging right behind him…Knowing who will try a sneak attack, Sarutobi swung his left arm behind him and grabbed onto Orochimaru's wrist that had a poison laced kunai in his hands, widen in shock from the old man sudden reaction continued the swinging motion all the way towards the collapsing wall that was falling everywhere as the attack Minato did earlier was meant for him, with such force too break his mud wall like that. Knew Minato would've kept charging in until the rasengan connected with him.
The dirt like smoke disappeared and formed an open hole with the fourth's arms stretch out, still holding onto the blue swirling energy and shouted once it made contact to Orochimaru's stomach. "RASENGAN!" and blasted the snake sannin away with great force that it flew past both Mia and Sho, who was going toe to toe with the first Hokage, as they were doing everything they could to prevent the man from using his wood jutsu or getting anywhere near the third!
After the blast to Orochimaru was done, Sarutobi lifted up his right leg high enough that it litterly connected across Minato's cheek sending the man flying towards his left. Although because of his reflexes and speed, the man manage to upright his body to land on the roof with no problems and with a boost of chakra into his feet. Dashed forward towards Sarutobi whom is still trying to recover from his attack from earlier got hit in the stomach from Minato's upper punched and the kicked to the side of the face, only for the second kick to get blocked by Sarutobi's Bo staff that he manage to twirl behind his back and up too Minato's right leg. He then threw the staff upward as their fists and legs were connecting to each blow they made towards each other.
Although Sarutobi was wincing from all the power each punch, or kick that Minato gave out as well. Grunting here and there when a few hits manage to get him in the ribs and stomach, he may be a genius ninja but that is nothing compare towards Minato's speed. Since his reaction time isn't up to snuff with the kage in front of him. He knew that he will have to last long as possible he then ducked downward after seeing Minato quickly forming the Rasengan behind his back and thrust it forward, towards where his chest was. Only for the man to quickly replaced himself with a log, that erupted into a million pieces!
The staff that was thrown over their heads finally came falling down, right into Sarutobi's grasp as the man quickly swung it to the left connecting into Minato's right side, and then jab it forward into the man's stomach as the fourth wince from the pain and quickly grabbed onto the weapon. Placing a seal on it without Sarutobi knowing, when the third went for another strike Minato disappeared and appeared right above the staff! Leaning on his right arm and leg, he thrust his left leg forward connecting to the thirds chin as the old man went flying back a bit dropping the weapon. Thus forcing Minato to jump off and charge towards Sarutobi whom landed back on his feet, grimacing from the pain that is shooting through his chin, quickly spitting out the blood from his mouth he then formed a series of hand signs. "Earth Style: Earth flow river!" he cried out slamming his right foot forward, causing a torrent of mud like water flying out of the roofs tiles, cause Minato to slip a bit getting his feet caught into the jutsu causing the fourth to go sliding backwards towards the purple barrier, gritting his teeth and hearing another jutsu being called by the third, he tossed out a few more kunai's from his pouch in three different directions and disappeared from. "Earth Style: Earth Dragon bullet!" a dragon head appearing where the mud flow river was being used, fired off three huge bright orb of energy towards where Minato would've been, as the explosion was creating a huge amount of smokescreen in the battle field.
Sweating a bit and breathing slowly, he could hear the battle going on with Mia and Sho, as the two seemed to be having slight difficulty against their opponent…He didn't wanted to separate them and have them face one of the two Kages by themselves, as he wasn't sure how well they would fair against them. Although his train of thought was broken when Orochimaru appeared once more behind him, ready to stab him with a weird sword, only to miss when Sarutobi replaced himself with another log and appeared a couple distances away from the Sanin, glaring and twitching his eyebrows in anger.
"Aw what's wrong Sarutobi sensei? Feeling slow…Sluggish, is age getting the best of you old man?" sneered Orochimaru who leered deeply into his former sensei, as Sarutobi grinded his teeth a bit. He knew his student was a madman, but going to the point of actually re-summoning the fourth Hokage! How he was able to do that he wasn't sure, since the Demon reaper seal, takes the spirit and soul of the caster. As well Shinigami keeping it for his self once it is used! Summoning the staff back to wherever it came from, knowing full well the weapon will just slow him down and quickly got into his former battle stance. Glaring hard at the snake sannin with anger and regrets…
He then charged forward with great speed and started forming more hand signs; as well Orochimaru doing the same, knowing full well that if he were to take out the snake sannin, then the re-animation jutsu will cancel itself and bring the two Kages back to rest as well freeing them from his hold.
"Ninja Art: Spinning Roof Tile shruiken!" Shouted Sarutobi after he finished the hands signs, as the roof tiles about thirty of them came floating up and dislodging themselves from their parchments, started spinning fast and strong with powerful speeds that could be heard in their ears. Then all rocketed forward towards the snake sannin who sneer at this and charge forward, knowing full well he can easily dodge these tile like weapons by quickly leaping forward and slithering down on the floor like a true snake would.
Weaving and bobbing through each tile that tried to hit the snake, he never got a time to finish the hands signs, considering the fact the speed behind these tiles will not give him the chance to let out the jutsu. First two tiles came stabbing straight down in an arc fashion, then the next five came swerving to the left and right cutting up against the rooftop in a way to get in a surprise hit on him. But failed when Orochimaru hop over the two and then cartwheel out of the next ten with the last, having him spin around ready to strike Sarutobi with a Kunai being pulled out from his sleeves, as well Sarutobi bringing out his own shruiken star too deflect it.
Only for them to widen their eyes and shock in their faces when Minato, teleported right underneath them with his three pronged Kunai jabbing right in the middle of their two weapons as his blue eyes glared upward to Orochimaru, as the man then screamed out in pain as he flew a couple distances away from the two of them as Minato raised two finger up in a released form, caused a wind bullet too appeared from a fuunjutsu seal that was place under Orochimaru in that brief paused of hesitation.
"Third Hokage is my target Orochimaru-teme…" He said with a cold steel behind his voice as Sarutobi then was pushed back by a powerful gale force, from another seal releasing out a wind scythe jutsu that cut up Sarutobi badly with cuts and blood flying out from his legs, arms and cheeks.
Sliding to a stop and wincing his gaze upward, he watch the honorable fourth Hokage rising up straight, coughing a bit from the exertion of Chakra being used to release two different seals at once, as well using his Hirashin no Jutsu three times like that, one to teleport in the battle between Sho, Mia and First Hokage as he quickly formed a seal right in front of the woman when she started slashing her katana blade, to send out her Wind scythe jutsu and then used that same jutsu he placed inside the seal and onto the Third Hokage in a way to damage him in the process of pushing Orochimaru away from him as well.
He was intent to seek out his anger…his soul was restless and in spite it all. Enrage for what the village turned out to be as well how they treated his son over the years. Even going as far getting rid of the precious things of his life and that was the Uzumaki scroll. Tears could be seen slightly on the fourth's face as he was slowly marching towards Sarutobi, his robe blowing gently through the winds that is building up as well the entire rooftop rumbling and shaking, trees and leaves started to form all around them. Towering high and mighty in the purple barrier that encased them all, even plugging up the hole that Mia and Sho made when they went in to help and aid the Third.
Sarutobi getting his breathing settle and getting back into his stance, quickly survey the rising trees and dense forest that is now surrounding them. He smiled on the inside as well as Minato, it takes a lot for the first Hokage to enter a state like this, as well going as far making his own forest on the rooftop. Indicating that Mia and Sho's teamwork was definitely nothing you shouldn't laugh at. If they can get a Kage to go this far with his power, then that proves together they can match a Kage level.
Minato harden his stare at Sarutobi, who did the same panting slightly and making sure not to resummons his BO staff again, since Minato had mark it with his chakra. So it will be awhile till King Emma the monkey king to be able unmarked the seal that is placed. "I'm ashamed of you Sarutobi…How, HOW could you let the villagers get this far and treated my son with distain, anger, hatred and further more…Acts of murderous intent" He shouted at the third who grimace at the acid tone in his voice…He know, HE knew that the fourth and probably Kushina as well were angry at him.
Especially the way all his attention was all focused on him, means that his source of anger, restlessness was all on him the man who promised to watch over their son, to take care of his son, to make sure nothing befall onto their boy…Their only son to the world even knowing the life of a Jinchurikii had to go through…"Please understand Minato, I did my…" He then side jump out of the way from a kunai, as well turning around quickly with his hands forming signs, as well shooting out Dragon flame bullets that rocketed with such speed erupted and exploded into contact towards the back behind him.
He was shock to realize that Minato tricked him, by slamming a Rasengan on his back and blasted Hiruzen forward through multiple tree barks and branches that fell apart from contact and slam down into the roof top. He then slammed an open palm on the roof as he retaliated by flipping over the striking blow from Minato who was holding his prong kunai with both hands and then grunted when Sarutobi quickly spin kicked into his face and landed back onto his two feet, firing off more of the Dragon bullet towards Minato who screamed out in pain as well flying off with each explosion making their contact on him.
Breathing heavily now and panting a bit from all the chakra he was using, Sarutobi was trying everything to keep himself calm and collected. He then grabbed onto what appeared to be Orochimaru's arm as the snake Sannin hissed in surprised, as well being thrown over the old man's shoulders and body expertly toss away from him with great strength. Then bunch of kunai's was toss within Sarutobi's weapon pouch that almost made contact too the Sannin only for said ninja, to replace himself with a log. "Shit" Sarutobi quickly said and started jumping between tree to tree, from what looked like a giant snake came charging straight for him with its mouth wide open and roaring through the falling trees that it broke through, as well Orochimaru shooting straight out from the snake skin rising towards Sarutobi with great intent to kill him.
"Orochimaru you're a fool" he responded causing the sannin to be confused, only to get kicked right on top of his head from Hiruzen crescent kicking into him, along with sending the ninja down towards the ground. Only to scream as well from Minato punching him in the gut as well following up with a one, two kick to the ribs and then twisted his body in mid-air, to slam his entire arm into Sarutobi's chest that sent the Kage flying straight down as well breaking through a few tree branches, while slamming up against the tree bark with a loud gasp and blood spraying out from his mouth to his chin then fell to his hands and knees.
Coughing a bit and raising his head slowly to the sounds of foot slamming themselves down onto the thick branch. "Minato please, I tried everything I could to protect your Son…To give him a normal life" He gasped out with a few coughs here and there, just watching the man's cold eyes staring down at him with disgust and anger that could not rival even Tsunades own temper.
"Please, forgive me Minato I…I wanted what was best for Naruto as well…The council" Then let out a loud breath of air as well blood spilling out from his mouth even more when his body was lifted up from a powerful kick in the stomach and then elbows into his back sending the kage down to the lower levels of the thick forest.
The blonde hair Kage then moved his right arm a bit to adjust his robes, glaring down with a sneer of his teeth. "Even if the council appointed and ruled out that Naruto shouldn't be adopted by anyone, it is still the right as the Kage too, over throw and looks through his own judgment and heart in order to see how wrong they truly are and corrupted!" He shouted down to Sarutobi as the man who was flat on the ground, lightly scratched against the tiled roof and quickly backflip back onto his feet, staring up with his eyes as the wrinkles on his face was scrounged up a bit from the way he was glaring back up to the fourth.
Who in return did the same with his brows furrowing a bit, matching his own glare with Sarutobi. "We've seen what been going through Naruto's eyes…Spirit and soul, even in the heavens as we watch…Shaken, angry and distraught over our son safety" He continued speaking to the third, hearing explosions and roaring of what sound like dragons behind him erupting and shaking the very fabric of the roofs, indicating that the battle with the first Hokage was getting fierce!
Hiruzen lower his gaze a bit and gritted between bloody teeth. He won't deny what has transpired lately for young Naruto…He went through a lot over the past few months as well with the girls he have met up and aid him through these hardships and times…He closed his eyes as he could picture all the times, that little blonde boy will run up to him in his office, asking about his parents. Or what it will take to become a ninja, and then there were the daily visits he made for the boy or taking him out too Ramen, the park and spending the entire day at the office to see what Hokage's do. He then went to the point of somehow managing to get the hat off from the old man's head, during a little game of theirs.
In which case he asked the giddy secretary to take a photo opt, of Naruto's great feet of getting the Hokage hat from him. Then the bad memories came of when the villagers will randomly attack the poor kid as the Anbu who were too watch over him, did nothing with the dispute over the attacks that happen. Being ignorant of the boy's distress…That were the times where Anbu was part of said, anti-Naruto back when the boy was probably only six years old. So he had appointed new Anbu's at the time, in order to make sure nothing like that happen again.
That is when Yugao, Mia Hyuuga, Sho Uchi and Kakashi Hatake step up to the plate in order to watch over the boy. The most who, did that though was Mia, as she had this sixth sense whenever the boy was in danger and arrive to the scene before the other three.
Sensing danger rising again the third looked up to see the fourth coming straight down at him with couple more Kunai's in hands, but knowingly that these Kunai's were the special seal types that allows him to teleport to each one without a hitch…
Even then Minato even if revived, can only use so much chakra at once and with that state of mind, Sarutobi knew that quitting is no option…Orochimaru was still out there as well, watching and waiting for the time to strike. He is only left with one option and that was the demon reaper seal technique. The same one that Minato used to seal away part of the nine tails into Naruto.
"I may have not been there for Naruto, nor being able to tend to his wounds and broken heart" He muttered kneeling down gently, ready for anything Minato was about to use against him. "Even still…Naruto, just like you cherish this village despite the faults and accusations that is thrown at him" He notice Minato raising an eyebrow as he was still free falling straight towards him. Smirking to himself as well summoning back his Bo staff knowing full well what he is about to do in this situation.
"Even still the boy haves reached a second goal! Reviving the Uzumaki's back to once they were…No doubt in my mind with the love and caring wives that will stick by his side…" He then smirk wider with proudness in his eyes as well shocking Minato who blinked and then smirked as well…Hatred was still there and anger to kill Sarutobi for what he put his son through. "As well the nine tailed fox, who has help the boy through all the troubles will be there as well…Uzumaki Naruto will no doubt be the best the leaf has ever seen" He declared and promptly swung his staff upward to meet with Minato's kunai with the two weapons clashing, and spark making the fourth widen his eyes as he was still sliding down the staff.
Then gets roughly grabbed in the face by Sarutobi letting go of the weapon with haste, at the same time slamming his head into the ground then letting go, before Minato could Hirashin out of there he scream out in pain from feeling the earth below him slamming straight up into his stomach, causing the fourth to puke out blood from his mouth as the huge mud wall was still rising up high into the air, breaking tree branches along the way. Sarutobi; who was still standing on the roof tiles quickly formed another set of hand seals. "Earth Style: Earth dragon bullet!" he cried out.
The fourth felt himself rising even further feeling all the bones in his ribs were slowly cracking as well, his arms and legs were getting tearing up from all the splinters entering his body. Then gets engulf by a dragon head forming around him, stopping near the fourth level of the dense forest.
Wincing and flinching badly from all the excess of chakra leaving his body, he had to make sure that he still had enough for that Jutsu against Orochimaru. He coughed a bit as few more stain of blood litter the roof top, he couldn't help but smile hearing what sounded like Mia and Sho battle cries of byakkugan and Sharingan activating meaning that they were almost done with their battle! The dragon finally getting form of his head, open its mouth wide and fired off a huge blast of energy exploding inside the mouth that destroyed the mud wall sending the fourth Hokage flying out from it.
"You will not have to worry about Naruto Minato" Hiruzen spoke out releasing his hands from the signs, watching the Hokage injured body flying towards the purple barrier as well snapping and breaking through each tree branch that came into contact with the man. "He is growing to be a fine young ninja…With people looking out for him, despite what the villagers think of him. He haves both your will of fire and Kushina's…Rest in peace old friend" He commented at the end as he watch that little slimmer before Minato burst into flames when contacting with the purple barrier…Smiled towards the third with wincing eyes and mouth out thank you to the third.
He then widening his eyes when he felt cold steel piercing through his chest from behind, he shifted his gazed down towards the red stain steel blade that was dripping droplets of blood. "Kuku kuku…" was all he heard behind him as well forcing himself to move forward and away from Orochimaru as well taking the sword away from the Snake sannin.
Orochimaru was definitely not faring well and from the looks of things, seems like he quickly came into contact with the others every time Minato would blast Orochimaru away from them. Coughing and gasping out with blurry visions, he growled out and gritted his teeth. "Finally…Finally it is all over for you Sarutobi-sensei! With you dead and gone, there is nothing for the Leaf village to withstand and hold themselves without the hope and leadership!" He cackled out loud with his arms spread wide, with his shoulders bucking and shaking.
"Watch Sensei as your village will crumble and fall just like yo-", before he could finish that sentence he was interrupted from Sarutobi's coughing fits as well the glare he was sending to the sannin that showed not sadness, nor regrets of being defeated but honor and knowing that this isn't why the leaf will fall.
"You are ever wrong as usual my student, the leaf will rise again and rebuild themselves!" He announced then quicker before the Sannin even recognizing the hand signs. He stiffing at the weird power and enormous chakra spreading out from the thirds body. That even scared Orochimaru as the sannin took a step back from sheer shock and fear, chocking from the sheer power that was radiating off from him. "I know that the future is in the next generation hands, no matter what trouble may befall the Leaf village. The will of fire will burn brightly in everyone hearts!" He continued as then an entity of some sort, started materializing behind Sarutobi as well a body of pure blue chakra being lifted out from the Hokage.
"Wha-What trickery is this! How come I can see this…This monstrosity!" cried out Orochimaru, never experiencing jutsu with such feet and power behind it. That even he could see the entity with a bladed sword in its mouth and bead of necklace around its wrist.
"This jutsu…allows the person to see death himself as well his opponent. In this case is you Orochimaru!" He shouted and darted right in front of the flinching Sannin, whose arms were grabbed and pulled towards Sarutobi as the sannin was doing everything in his power to break free from his grip. Only to feel frighten and scared that even HE could not escape.
"Let go of me what are you doing!" he shouted as this alerted Sho and Mia from within the woods, as the girl was hanging over Sho's shoulders. Exceeding her five minutes limit with her byakkugan that the woman was temporally blind for the entire day. But was needed in order to defeat the first Hokage, feeling that they stopped from their tracks Mia felt rising chakra and enormous power.
"Sho…what is going on?" She asked to the Uchiha, who was gritting and grinding his teeth. Seeing what was transpiring down below making sure to keep a tight grip onto the woman. Feeling the tension Sho was giving off through the contact caused the girl to worry about the third's safety. "SHO!" yelled Mia then grimace and started panicking when he replied.
"Mia…All I can say is that this fight…is over" He responded to her with a very dead tone, indicating that whatever jutsu the third was using. Will cost his life and the only jutsu to do that is…
"Demon reaper seal technique…" she muttered quietly.
XXX
Feeling the reaper thrusting its arm through his body as well breaking through his blue like spirit caused the Hokage to grunt out in pain, as he kept hold of Orochimaru's arms as the man in front of him for once in his life. Was speechless and scared that he will actually die! His plan to destroy the Leaf village was going to end here, never!
"No, no my ambition to destroy the leaf will not be foil!" He yelled out trying to resist his spirit from being pulled right out from his stomach, as the purple color skin grabbed hold of it tightly and slowly pulling out the sannins blue spirit aura. Although Sarutobi was grimacing and feeling the jutsu slowly fading away considering he is running out of chakra real fast as well his own life.
"I may not have enough chakra too get rid of you Orochimaru, but never the less I will seal away your arms forever. So this way you will never make any hand signs ever again for as long you live" Announced Sarutobi causing the Snake sannin to widen his eyes in fright, and looked up to the Shinigami himself as the multiple arms grabbed a hold of the blade by sliding it out from its mouth, raising it high in the air. "The will of fire will never be doused, as the people in this village has adorned and acquired it through their hard work and beliefs…They may be doused now, but they will rebuild and get stronger…Their will to save their home, their precious one will never show the signs of giving up" He continued then the blade, slashed straight through the blue like arm that was being pulled out from Orochimaru.
Sarutobi who staggered backwards and falling down on his back, smiling with dull eyes continued. "You…failed to understand even the smallest of things my student, even those around you and still haven't grasp the idea of those who inherit this fire…This will….As Hokage, I have no regrets for leaving this world. For the next generations…will…watch…and…prosper in my stead and make a better…future" he said with his voice drowning out slowly, as well closing his dull grey eyes closing them fully at the same time hearing the make shift forest around disappearing and shrinking down into the roof tops.
"My arms…MY arms, why, why can't I move them!" he screamed out with painful shrills, then widen his snake eyes as he sneered and curse even more for the old fool, still holding that smile of his. "GAAAAH, the plan has failed, fall back and retreat we can't do anything more here!" he shouted as the barrier went down and felt the four sound ninja's gathering around him and carried him off from the roof tops.
As well with the anbu unit trying their best to get in before he could leave, only to fail and stay behind too see that their leader has falling, with the sword placed a side…"Fuck you Sensei…your insolence will pay you will see! The leaf village will be destroyed and I will get what I came for!" Orochimaru shouted throughout his head, feeling the pain and injuries that was shooting out through his body…Then flash of Sarutobi's smiling face went through his head, adding even more anger and hatred to see the fool was still taunting him even till death came for him.
XXX
The gathering Anbu who watched Sho and Mia approaching them wore down casted looks as well, remorse for losing their once friend and leader…Hell, even a grandfather for most of the people in the village. Mia un-able to see anything or hear the thirds voice was silently gritting her teeth and trying her best to fight back the tears through her hazed pale blue eyes as well hearing Yugao kneeling down in front of the man.
"Remember today for what the Hokage went through, his will, his determination to protect this village…He passed down the will of fire to everyone and we must accept the responsibility that he giving us and make sure to see the Leaf Village is saved!" She shouted as everyone shouted yes ma'am and spread out minus her, Mia and Sho. "As for you two…you did everything you could and probably even more. Lord Hokage will be very proud for the bravery you showed today…Sho you carry Lord Hokage, I will help Mia" She informed the man who nodded slowly and unlatched the woman's arm from his shoulders, all the while Yugao taking his place as he went to carry Sarutobi. Once they headed out of the area and away from the battle, the man shifted his gaze out to the still war torn village as explosions and multiple glows were being showing everywhere…As the man was worried for Naruto and the girls, wondering how they are faring?
With the Thirds last words of the next generation inheriting the will of Fire, he haves no doubt in his mind. That everyone will turn out fine and will drive out the sand and sound ninja's assault. The fire burning inside them and now determine for unknown reasons through their hearts and mind. Naruto is now more motivated to go and save his friends the Sand siblings.
Hinata with Neji and the Hyuuga clan was showing more skill and heart of protecting her family from harm, as well wanting to see everyone come out alive through the entire ordeal.
Haku and Ino, guiding and protecting the civilians through the village, towards one of the bunkers and hide outs of the village felt the wash of energy to make sure things turn out for the best. As well for Tenten, Sakura, Lee and Kin who have arrived at the hospital and started fighting with vigor too protect the injured and the sick that are in the building.
All of them have one goal in mind that was shared by Sarutobi's spirit and will, of PROTECTING EVERYONE THEY LOVE!
