Chapter 448

In the forest far away from Konoha.

After the Leming left, Naruto was still fighting with Gaara. Gaara gave his consciousness to Shukaku, so Naruto and Gamabunta worked together to wake him up, so that Gaara could return his consciousness from Shukaku.

In the end, both of them exhausted their chakra, and Naruto used the Kyubi in his body to defeat Gaara.

In the middle of Konoha’s Central Gage.

The battle between the two had already lasted for two hours.

Orochimaru and 3rd Hokage had almost exhausted their strength, and 3rd Hokage had pulled out half of Orochimaru’s soul.

Orochimaru had a face full of hatred, “You deserve to die, too. Sarutobi-sensei!”

3rd Hokage revealed a bitter smile, “Your ambition has come to an end!”

“My ambition? In this situation, you can still say such words?”

Orochimaru gritted his teeth, and used a bit of strength to stir the grass sword that was inserted into 3rd Hokage’s body. 3rd Hokage spat out a mouthful of blood in pain.

Seeing this, Orochimaru smiled indifferently, “Sensei, you can’t stop my ambition at all. Moreover, you will die here.”

“Hmph! I won’t let your ambition destroy this village either.”

As he spoke, the Shinigami roared and grabbed Orochimaru’s hands with both hands.

“My hand!”

At this moment, Orochimaru’s hands directly fell down, and he felt as if they weighed a thousand demon. Before this, he also inserted the blade into the body of the 3rd Hokage.

“Old bastard! Give me back my hand!” Orochimaru finally couldn’t control his emotions and shouted angrily.

“Orochimaru, you’re really stupid, but I feel a bit regretful to be able to die with you. My student, one day, we will meet in that world…”

“You old bastard! You even gave me my hand before you died.”

Before Orochimaru could finish, the 3rd Hokage no longer had any strength. In the end, he fell down with a smile.

“You old bastard! Damn it! Damn it!”

“Orochimaru-sama!”

The four Sound Ninja shouted anxiously.

“Damn it! Remove the barrier! Let’s go back!” Orochimaru ordered.

The four said at the same time, “Yes!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them, with the heavily injured Orochimaru, instantly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The Sound Ninja were cunning, and the elite Ninjas of Konoha were still fighting. They were afraid of being ambushed and suffering greater losses, so they didn’t pursue them. Everyone went up to the Central Tower.

The 3rd Hokage stopped breathing…

At this time, on the high platform in the south of Konoha.

The two people in the flaming cloud uniform had already seen everything.

“Although we avoided this catastrophe, the village seems to have suffered a lot.”

“The originally prosperous village actually became like this. What a pity.”

I”t really isn’t like you. Even if it was you, you should more or less still have some nostalgia for your hometown, right?

“No, I don’t miss it at all.”

As this person spoke, the scarlet red Sharingan in his eyes started to rotate.

Two days after the war ended, the village returned to peace.

Some of the ninjas were wearing black uniforms, standing in front of the 3rd Hokage portrait to express their condolences.

Sarutobi Asuma and Konohamaru were already sobbing so hard that they could not speak.

“The fetter will become more and more firm as time goes on. This is not a great principle, but people who have this kind of fetter will cherish it.”

Naruto said, “I think I can understand this idea.”

“But death is really painful.”

Kakashi replied, “3rd Hokage did not die in vain. He left us something important. One day you will understand.”

“I know. Although I don’t really understand, I have always felt this way.”

Although the 3rd Hokage was dead, the will of fire would continue to be passed down.

A few days later, Baki and the other Sand Ninjas found Mizukage’s corpse on the way and learned that it was Orochimaru who killed him.

Sunagakure immediately announced this matter to the outside world, and said that it was completely under Orochimaru’s control. Moreover, he also surrendered to Konoha, and Konoha accepted their surrender. This was because Konoha’s top priority was to recover the national power and damage brought by the war.

The famous name of the Land of Fire.

“Don’t put on such an expression that it has nothing to do with you. Our negotiation with Sunagakure has ended, but the current situation has nothing to do with Sunagakure. The power of the Konoha has weakened to a certain extent. We have to consider choosing a trustworthy leader first.” A man with a pair of dark green glasses said to Jiraya.

The other one added, “There is a cause for war everywhere, not just Orochimaru. Jiraya, in the emergency meeting yesterday, we have decided to let you take over.”

“We need the 5th Hokage!” .
