HELLO!!! Okay, so this is the 21st chapter. Now, good point there, Guest-questioner, so if I were to add UBW, there will not be the whole 'copy skills' op shit. If I give Kirito UBW, he will only be able to use them with his own skills.

The reality marble will only be used to create unlimited blades with their special abilities. He can use their special abilities. But he won't gain the past wielders' skills and knowledge. And besides, he won't spam it. UBW will be, if he has it, a very taxing skill. It will probably take up 80% of his reserves every time he activates it.

But that is not important yet, we still have ways to go before Kirito reaches the end of the Aincrad arc, so no UBW for now. I will put up a poll to determine if Kirito should get it or not... Soon. So please vote.

With Kirito, after killing Baki, he was flying around the village searching for Jiraiya. But it was hopeless, the whole village was in chaos. He could see many Konoha shinobi fighting, hell he even saw toad summons fighting the giant snake summons.

But no Jiraiya. He flew towards the toads, but Jiraiya was not there. Kirito cursed, for every second he searched for Jiraiya, for every second he wasted, Hiruzen's life slowly burned away.

After a few minutes, Kirito looked back at the barrier. He couldn't rely on Jiraiya anymore. He could see Hikari's dragon summon fighting the Shukaku at a distance, and he knew she was also fighting.

The swordsman made his decision. He shot towards the barrier. As Kirito stopped in front of the barrier, he thought, 'The barrier is made to keep intruders out. And its a fire based barrier. So..'

He approached the barrier, ignoring the warnings the Konoha ANBU sent him. The swordsman raised both swords as they glowed blue.

Kirito silently thought, 'Channel water chakra through the swords...'

The swords glowed a slighter watery blue, and he swung.

Earlier in the barrier, Hiruzen stared at his student in disguise, "So, Orochimaru, you finally decide to move."

The 'Kazekage' chuckled, "Nothing ever escapes you, Sarutobi-sensei."

Hiruzen just stared at him, "Its time to end this."

He threw his Hokage robes away, revealing his armor. Orochimaru laughed as he too threw away his robes, "Ah, but its just the beginning."

Hiruzen unsealed a fuuma shuriken from a seal in his gauntlets and threw it hard at Orochimaru. Right after it left his hand, the Hokage flashed through a series of handseals, "Shuriken Kage Bunshin!"

The shuriken split into a hundred as they sped towards the Hebi Sannin. Orochimaru responded with a jutsu of his own, "Fuuton: Daitoppa."

He unleashed a dome of wind that blocked all the shuriken. Orochimaru chuckled, "I see you haven't gotten rusty."

The sannin took out the Kusanagi and charged his teacher. The snake swung his sword and clashed against Hiruzen's gauntlet.

The Hokage tch'd as the sword chipped through his armor. The old man spun and kicked Orochimaru away as he flashed through handseals, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

Smoke clouded the area as a monkey appeared. The monkey stared at Hiruzen, "So, its time to end it?"

The old Hokage nodded, "Yeah. Its time to correct my mistakes, Enma."

The monkey king nodded as he turned into a black staff. Hiruzen grasped it as he stared at his former student.

Orochimaru grinned, "Oh, its been a while since I've seen you use your staff. Are you sure you haven't gotten rusty with it?"

Hiruzen chuckled humourlessly, "You're two million years too early to worry, young padawan."

Orochimaru smiled coldly, "Oh, let's put that to the test then."

The student charged his teacher. Orochimaru swung his sword at Hiruzen. The bo master blocked the strike before he spun and swung his staff, striking Orochimaru and flinging him away.

The sannin growled at the Hokage as he quickly stood up. But Hiruzen was already in front of him. The bo staff enlarged until it was the size of a pillar, then Hiruzen swung.

The sannin was, once again, flung away. It was only due to him using his snakes to grab hold of the roof, with the fact that he stabbed his sword on the ground, that the snake sannin didn't get burn to death by the barrier he set.

Orochimaru steadied himself and saw Hiruzen charging him. The sannin swung his sword and clashed against the staff that was the boss summon of the monkeys. Orochimaru quickly pulled back, spinning and swung his sword.

He would have beheaded his teacher, if not for the fact that there was a black staff in his way. The sword clashed against the staff once again as Hiruzen commented, "You've gotten better. But, its still nonot enough."

Orochimaru chuckled, "I know. But you know me, I always come prepared."

Hiruzen didn't reply as he pushed Orochimaru's sword away and spun, slamming his staff into Orochimaru. But instead of sending the long haired man flying, Orochimaru turned into mud as he appeared some distance away.

The sannin smirked, "Its been a nice chat. The village is being destroyed, and while I seriously didn't expect a dragon of all things to defeat the Shukaku. So, I suppose its time to give you a present I've been saving."

The sannin bit his thumb and smeared his palm with blood, he then went through a series of seals," Kuchiyose: Edo-"

Before he could finish his jutsu however, the an X shape rip appeared in the barrier. Then, the rip enlarged as a teen clad in black shot straight in.

Orochimaru jumped up to avoid a black and light blue sword as Kirito landed in front of them.

A smile broke into Orochimaru's face while Hiruzen was shocked to see Kirito enter through the now closing barrier.

The sannin laughed, "You really do have a death wish, don't you, BOY?!"

Kirito just glared at him while Hiruzen asked sternly, "What are you doing here?"

The young man answered as Hiruzen walked to his side, "I'm here to help. I was gonna look for Jiraiya, but I couldn't find him."

The old Hokage sighed, "Fine. But be careful, this is Orochimaru we're facing."

Kirito nodded and readied his stance. But before they could charge, Orochimaru quickly finished his final seal and slammed his arm onto the ground, "Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei!"

Two coffins rose from the ground before Hiruzen could do anything, and the Sandaime Hokage was shocked at what Orochimaru had summoned, or rather, who he had summoned.

In front of them, were two coffins, one with the kanji for 'one', the second with the kanji for 'two'. Orochimaru cackled, "Behold, the Shodaime and Niidaime HOKAGE!"

Hiruzen cursed, "You completed Tobirama-sensei's jutsu?"

Orochimaru smirked, "Indeed I did. So, how will you fight against them, Kirito-kun, Sarutobi-sensei?"

Hiruzen kept his eye on Hashirama and Tobirama, "Kirito, stay away from the two Hokage. If they are as strong as their prime, you will die the instant you face them. Fight Orochimaru, but keep your distance. The Edo Tensei is a jutsu that summons the dead, but you don't need to kill them to dispel the jutsu, once I find a way to seal them, we will kill Orochimaru. "

The swordsman nodded before the Shodaime spoke, "Saru, is that you?"

Hiruzen nodded sadly, "Yes, Hashirama-sama."

The first Hokage chuckled, "You've grown old."

Tobirama spoke, "So, we've been summoned, by my own jutsu."

The Niidaime's brother stared at him, "I told you to not make that jutsu, but you haaaad to do it."

Tobirama huffed, "It was an idea. But more importantly, Saru, you're not the one to summon us, right?"

Orochimaru spoke, "That would be me, Shodaime-sama, Niidaime-sama. We're going to destroy Konoha, isn't that great?"

The two Hokage stared at the smiling Sannin. But before they could say anything, Orochimaru held up a handseal to hold the two in place.

The snake sannin spoke, "I can't have you killing me, ya know? As two former Hokage, it would be common sense to help your village. So I made two seals."

He approached the two Hokage and stabbed two kunai wrapped with seals into their heads, the kunai sinking into their heads.

Hiruzen readied himself as he saw the glow die out in his two teachers' eyes, "Kirito, get ready. I will face the two of them. I want you to keep Orochimaru busy and stay alive."

Kirito nodded as he stared at the snake sannin. Orochimaru chuckled, "Not a bad idea, come then. Let's see how strong you really are, Kirito."

Kirito didn't reply as he charged the sannin. The young man swung his swords and clashed against the Kusanagi. However, knowing the famous trait of the sannin's sword, Kirito pulled back, using the momentum to spin and kick Orochimaru away.

The sannin chuckled as he steadied himself, "Not bad. Show me more. Prove to me that the Konoha ninja aren't as weak as I thought, prove to me that Sasuke-kun isn't the only one who is worthy!"

Kirito growled, he was being looked down, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. The blacksmith calmed himself and slid into his stance before charged again.

As Kirito fought Orochimaru, Hiruzen stared at the blank faces of his two late teachers. The Sandaime charged, flashing through a set of seals, "Katon: Goryuka no Jutsu!"

Tobirama responded with his own jutsu, "Suiton: Suijinheki!"

The stream of fire collided with the wall of water, creating steam that blurred the area. But the Niidaime wasn't done, he went through another set of seals, "Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu!"

A dragon made of water charged at Hiruzen. But that wasn't all, at the same time, Hashirama went through a set of seals, "Mokuton: Mokuryu no Jutsu!"

A wooden dragon sprouted out of the ground and shot towards the old Hokage along with the water dragon.

The Sarutobi slammed his staff on the floor and went through a series of handseals, "Doton: Doryuheki!"

A wall of mud rose from the ground, blocking the water dragon, but it wasn't enough the block the wood dragon. As the wooden dragon shot through the wall, Hiruzen leaped away, grabbing his staff.

The old Hokage spoke, "Enma, extend!"

The staff extended and crushed the wooden dragon to pieces and charged at Hashirama and Tobirama. The Shodaime and Niidaime leaped away to avoid the strike before Hashirama went through a set of seals.

Hiruzen's eyes widened as his former teacher announced his technique, "Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kotan."

Instantly, a forest formed on the roof, to the surprise of the ANBU outside. Kirito and Orochimaru were not too affected as they fought just outside of the forest, but it just prevented Kirito from helping Hiruzen and vice versa.

Hiruzen willed Enma to form a cage around him just in time to block the incoming branches that would have skewered him. Enma asked in worry, "Hiruzen, are you alright?"

Hiruzen chuckled as he started to pant, "I'm not. I really am getting old."

He thought, 'At this rate I don't think I can live past this. Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sensei are still too strong for me. I'll probably have to use that jutsu, its the only seal I know that is strong enough to hold them.'

He was broken out his musings quite literally as the reanimated Tobirama announced, "Genjutsu: Kokuangyo no Jutsu!"

Instantly, darkness surrounded Hiruzen as the Niidaime Hokage casted the genjutsu over him. Hiruzen hoped Kirito wouldn't be affected since the jutsu could be used on multiple targets.

The old Kage let out a breath, he needed to end this quick. His chakra reserves weren't what they were at his prime, so he couldn't use his jutsus the way he did in the past.

Hiruzen stabbed Enma on the roof and placed his hands in a t-shaped seal, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu."

Two shadow clones appeared and Hiruzen raised his arm to block several strikes, most probably from Tobirama before he was flung to the ground, probably from an attack from Hashirama.

Miraculously the clones were left untouched. The clones quickly went through a series of handseals. As the clones were still a part of him, Hiruzen felt the link with the Shinigami, "Fuinjutsu: Shiki Fuujin."

He looked back to see the imposing figure, with two blurry copies behind his clones, staring at him. The blurry copies reached out to where his clones supposedly were, and pierced their back.

The Sandaime felt a small sting at his gut and knew the link between the clones and the death god was complete.

Hiruzen then heard his clones grab hold of something, and judging from the chakra signatures, the clones had caught the two reanimated Hokage.

Hiruzen sighed, he didn't know what would happen after this. According to Minato and Kushina, the Shiki Fuujin was a sealing jutsu that sealed something into the user's body at the cost of his or her life. But no one knew what would happen if the user was a Kage Bunshin.

It would also seem the god knew that, and Hiruzen knew it was angry at him. But that wasn't his greatest concern now. He could feel the clones grabbing hold of Hashirama and Tobirama's souls, and he felt sorry to do that to his former senseis.

As soon as the clones pulled out half of the Niidaime Hokage's soul, the genjutsu vanished, revealing their surroundings.

The first Hokage smiled sadly at his successor, "Sorry, Saru. We've caused you a lot of trouble."

Tobirama nodded before he chuckled, "Yeah. But, you've grown old."

Hiruzen smiled weakly, "Hey, I still lived a good life. The will of fire burns brightly even now, Tobirama-sensei, Hashirama-sama."

The two former Hokage nodded as they started to fade. Hashirama spoke, "Regardless of the circumstances, it was nice seeing you again, Saru."

Tobirama nodded in agreement before they both faded. Hiruzen felt the two clones disperse, but the chakra and that piece of his soul leave him. He fell to one knee as Hiruzen felt weakened from the loss of a part of his soul.

He then heard the Shinigami growl, and somehow Hiruzen knew, because he used the clones, the soul in the clones were used for payment. It also meant his already short lifespan was shortened even more, and he would probably have approximately a year at most.

The jutsu dispelled as the Shinigame released its hold. Then, Hiruzen heard Kirito yell in pain.

A few moments ago, after Hiruzen was caught in the genjutsu, Kirito was sending slashes after slashes at Orochimaru.

The blacksmith landed after several failed attacks and thought, 'If it keeps up like this, I can't win. I need something that can blow him away.'

His sword skills were out of question. If he used them, his swords would break from the Kusanagi once Orochimaru inevitably parried them. So that left him with his spells.

Kirito activated his Acceleration and appeared behind Orochimaru, to the Sannin's glee. The Sannin thought, 'There it is again, it looks so much like the Hiraishin, yes, show me more.'

Kirito then focused his chakra as he thought, 'Hopefully this works, I haven't really tried it out yet. But this might have enough power.'

Two spheres of chakra appeared under his hands and the hilts of his swords as he held them out. The spheres faded as they entered his swords.

Kirito stared at Orochimaru before he vanished. After that, if anyone were to observe from a side, they would see a blur of black and light blue as a million lines appeared around Orochimaru.

After a few seconds, Kirito appeared behind Orochimaru, the black swordsman panting heavily as Orochimaru fell to the ground in pieces.

The technique was an improved version of the Eclipse sword skill. Using the Enhance spell to strengthen his body and the using the Acceleration, he would incresse speed hundredfold. The combination of both spells would negate the red glow and strengthen his swords at the same time, but it took a lot out of him.

Kirito panted in relief as he saw Orochimaru's corpse... Or rather body pieces, unmoving. But his eyes widened as the pieces melted into mud, the real Sannin appearing from the roof some distance away.

The sannin laughed, "That's it! You've proven me wrong once again! YOU, my boy ARE WORTHY."

Before he could do anything, Orochimaru's head shot forward, his neck extending to insane lengths. Then, he bit Kirito's neck, channeling chakra into the blacksmith as he screamed in pain.

Orochimaru released him as the curse mark formed at where he bit Kirito. The sannin laughed as Kirito fell to the ground, grabbing his neck in pain.

The sannin cracked his neck and turned to see Hiruzen extending his staff at him. The old man roared, albeit a bit weakly, "What have you done?!"

Orochimaru laughed as he jumped away, parrying the staff with his sword. The sannin landed, "Why, he will be my vessel of course. Same as our young Uchiha. I wonder though, since they both fancy Minato's lil girl, will they come to me if I take her?"

Hiruzen narrowed his eyes at him, "Touch any of them, I assure you I will make you wish you were dead."

His student laughed, "I'd like to see you try. But, let me show you something."

Orochimaru reached up to his face and placed his hand over it. Then, to everyone's surprise, he ripped his own face off, revealing the face of a young woman.

Hiruzen stared in shock, "What... Who are you?"

The 'woman' said in Orochimaru's voice, "I'm hurt, Sarutobi-sensei, you can't even recognize me?"

Enma spoke from the staff, "So, he's completed it. I told you you should have killed him."

Hiruzen stayed silent as Orochimaru grinned, "Indeed he should have. I transplanted my own vocal cords because... well I am rather fond of my own voice. But seeing Kirito and Sasuke, I think I won't need a mask or any changes."

Hiruzen glared at his former student, "You're a monster."

The sannin laughed, "Indeed I am, its all for science, for everything. The Niidaime Hokage sought to bring back the dead, I succeeded with that. So I took a step further, IMMORTALITY!"

Orochimaru calmed down, "And I'm almost there. This is just the beginning, transferring my soul between vessels, is just the beginning. You taught us that sacrifices had to be made, didn't you?"

Hiruzen just glared at him, "I have made many mistakes in my life, you are probably one of the greatest mistakes I have made."

Orochimaru smiled coldly before his former teacher charged. But it was for naught, Orochimaru merely spun and kicked Hiruzen away. The sannin spoke coldly, "I am not a mistake. I WAS, AND STILL AM YOUR FINEST STUDENT! EVERYTHING YOU TAUGHT ME, EVERYTHING I HAVE NOW IS BECAUSE OF YOU!"

Hiruzen coughed out blood, "Indeed, you were. I taught you almost everything, but I failed... to teach you about humanity."

Orochimaru just stared coldly at his former teacher, "We are ninja, we live in a world built on bloodshed. Humanity has no place here."

Hiruzen chuckled, "But this village was built on that, you cannot deny."

Orochimaru walked over to him and looked at him coldly. Enma returned to his original form and tried to pounce at him, but Orochimaru merely pierced the monkey with his sword, sending him back to the summoning realm.

The student stared at his former teacher as he pulled Hiruzen up, "I can, and I will. And you, sensei, will have the front seat."

Orochimaru swung his sword arm. But he didn't slash at Hiruzen, Orochimaru merely used the hilt of his sword to knock him out.

The sannin turned to Kirito, the young man still grasping his neck in pain, "You see, Kirito. This is what happens, when you are weak. Sarutobi-sensei made a mistake, he believed my work was wrong. I beliebe you won't make the same mistake. Join me."

Kirito growled in pain, "Fuck you. I will never join you."

Orochimaru sighed, "I have already had enough of this shit, you will join me, you can't even raise your swords. Either you come with me willingly, or I destroy everyone you care about in this village, then take you with me forcefully."

Kirito glared at him, he could feel anger boiling in him. The curse mark burned on his neck as the marks started to form around his body.

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, "You can already use it? I'm impressed. But, what can you do at that state? Your whole body should be in pain, weakened by the curse mark."

Unknown to the snake sannin, the chakra from the curse mark was changing from dark purple, to pure black. Kirito grabbed his swords and stood up shakily, "Shut up... I swore on my blood, that I would protect them. Even if I have to destroy the world, I won't let you place a finger near them!"

The young man roared as power poured out of him, to Orochimaru's shock. The sannin said in awe, "How can he exert that much power?"

Then he saw it. Kirito's eyes were glowing yellow with power. Orochimaru thought, 'This power, is it his blood from the Underworld?'

Then Kirito vanished. Orochimaru's eyes widened as he backed away just in time to avoid decapitation. Kirito vanished again, this time appearing behind him.

Orochimaru cursed as he swung his sword at Kirito. But Kirito's swords glowed, then the Kusanagi met the Elucidator and Dark Repulsor. To Orochimaru's shock, the Grass Cutter shattered into pieces. But before he could think how, Kirito was moving again.

The swordsman jumped and kicked him away. Then he landed and sheathed his swords. The young man placed his left arm into a fist at his waist and held his arm at his chest in a single ram seal.

Kirito unleashed his wings, the wings glowing with energy. Then he unleashed a huge sphere made of magic circles.

Orochimaru could only watch in awe as he was blown away by the sphere of circles. Then, the circles gathered to form a triangle, made of a blue, green and red circle.

The triangle shot towards Orochimaru and captured him in the center before he could do anything. The sannin cursed as he struggled to get free, to no avail.

Then, three pillars of energy rose from each circle, sending beams of water chakra, fire chakra and wind chakra at him. Orochimaru could only scream in pain as the beams almost ripped him to shreds.

But Kirito wasn't done. He raised both arms as a dozen black and white magic circles appeared around him. Then, dark and light energy shot out of the circles towards Orochimaru.

The snake sannin screamed in pain as it felt like his very soul was being burned and destroyed. He quickly focused, which was almost impossible with the amount of pain he was experiencing, and substituted with a mud clone.

Soon, the spell ended, and needless to say, the roof where Orochimaru once was, was totally obliterated. The sannin panted as he rose from the roof at the other end of the barrier. Orochimaru spoke, "Open the barrier NOW!"

The four Oto ninja obliged as the barrier fell. Then before the Anbu could do anything, Orochimaru and the sound four vanished. Then, as soon as Orochimaru vanished, Kirito fell to the ground unconscious.

The Anbu quickly went to check on the Hokage, relieved that he was still alive but merely unconscious. They also checked on Kirito. The young man was fine, with injuries here and there. But they still couldn't believe the amount of power that he exerted just now. It was unreal to them.

Meanwhile, throughout the village, the Konoha shinobi were fighting back against the Suna and Oto shinobi. Then, as they fought, Hikari, Asuna, Sinon, Suguha, Kankuro, Gaara and Temari arrived at the village with a still unconscious Sasuke.

Asuna spoke, "We need to stop them."

Hikari, Suguha and Sinon nodded. The archer glanced at Gaara and his siblings warily before the Ichibi Jinchurikii spoke, "We won't fight Konoha anymore. Hikari helped me. Killing alone, won't prove my existence."

Sinon nodded, albeit a bit skeptically. Then Gaara spoke out, "We will kill the Oto shinobi. Those Suna shinobi... I do not care... much. They either survive or they die, but it will be by the Konoha ninja's hands."

Hikari blinked at his words, before she noticed it, "I don't think we need to fight."

The others blinked in confusion before they saw it. The fighting was almost over. Apart from the area in front of them, if you looked around, the Suna shinobi and Oto shinobi were either beaten or killed.

Suguha nodded, "At least we won't have to fight anymore. Come on, let's go help them, the village is quite banged up."

No one objected as they started to help the survivors, more specifically the civilians. Though the Konoha ninja were weary about Gaara, Temari and Kankuro, after a bit persuasion from Hikari, they accepted their help.

However, regardless of the survival of Konoha and the failure of the invasion, no one knew, nor did they expect the things that would happen in a few months later.
