Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Chapter 753: A Blade of Wind...

'Ninja Art: Shadow Stitching jutsu'

Several sharp tendril-like needles rose from the shadow under Orochimaru's feet and pierced through his body, binding him in one spot!

At the same time, Hiruzen's figure became visible as he moved through Orochimaru's Gale River jutsu. Even though the jutsu failed to stop him, the flames on Hiruzen's body were significantly weaker.

Orochimaru cursed, 'Shit! I was too focused on the mysterious jutsu he used to seal the Kages and the flames around his body. He noticed it and used my own jutsus to hide his real scheme. This won't be easy. I need to break this shadow first and then deal with those pesky flames while keeping him away...'

Orochimaru began exerting his chakra. A large amount of Yang chakra was released from his chakra points and began weakening the shadow's hold. At the same time, Orochimaru's body itself started transforming! His human features started fading away as he began looking even more like a white snake! Several snakes exited his mouth and began moving towards Hiruzen.

However, Hiruzen moved without any fear. The weakened flames around his body still had enough heat to burn all the snakes coming towards him. Before Orochimaru could fully transform, Hiruzen appeared in front of him and punched Orochimaru's abdomen with all his might.

All the remaining flames on his body transferred onto Orochimaru's body, burning him! However, his snake body was far more resilient than a normal human body. Along with the fact that the flames had weakened a lot, Orochimaru wasn't hurt. A grin appeared on Orochimaru's face as he exclaimed, "Such a weak flame will not burn me..."

Suddenly, his eyes widened. He failed to release any more Yang chakra. His transformation also stopped. Orochimaru wondered, 'What the hell? I can't initiate any jutsu?'

He suddenly exclaimed fearfully, "What is that?"

As the God of Death's arm entered his body and began extracting his soul, Orochimaru finally saw the God of Death behind Hiruzen! Hiruzen chuckled and replied, "This is the jutsu the Fourth Hokage used to seal the Nine Tails."

With a grin on his face, Hiruzen exclaimed, "I will now fix the mistake I committed a decade ago. I will now pull out your soul from whoever's body this is. You'll be sealed inside the God of Death and suffer inside his belly for eternity!"

Hiruzen immediately began extracting Orochimaru's soul while Orochimaru analyzed, 'So that's the God of Death? No wonder he was able to seal them so easily. However...'

Orochimaru immediately exerted all his strength. Though he couldn't move nor use any jutsus, he managed to pull his soul back into his body! He chuckled and said, "You won't get your way, old man! You don't have the chakra to seal me! Hehe, I admit, you nearly scared me by putting up a strong front. However, you used up most of your chakra while sealing them."

Hiruzen's grin disappeared. He realized, 'Ugh! I reached this stage and fell short on chakra?'

Hiruzen was livid. He was one step away from sealing Orochimaru but fell short as he was about to run out of chakra! Had he been a few years younger, he'd have done the job. Unfortunately, that was no longer the case. Sealing twelve Kage had drained him!

He quickly analyzed, 'I don't have the chakra to completely seal him inside of me. The only way I can do that is if...'

Suddenly, the entire barrier shook! Both Hiruzen and Orochimaru glanced above and saw it being hit by another Wind Breath from Ryu! The Sound Four fell to their knees and began coughing blood violently! They immediately began inserting all their chakra into the barrier while thinking, 'This is the last time! If another attack hits the barrier, it'll collapse. However, how can he stop another round of attack by himself?'

While Hiruzen dealt with Orochimaru and the reanimated Kages, the Third and Fourth Kazekages blocked three more rounds of attacks from Fujin and the Konoha ninjas. However, Fujin and Ryu finally got the opening they were looking for.

Ryu immediately fired a Wind Breath through the opening, which first hit the defenseless Third Kazekage and obliterated him! His body had been minced into minute particles as the Wind Breath passed through it before the Wind Breath hit the barrier.

A stunned expression appeared on Orochimaru's face as he realized, 'Don't tell me...'

He shouted, "NO!"

As the blade began falling, Hiruzen shouted "I shall take away all your jutsu! SEAL!"

The God of Death's blade sliced through Orochimaru's soul, taking his arms away!

Orochimaru realized, 'My arms! They're paralyzed!'

He shouted, "You useless old man! Give me back my arms!"

With a smile on his face, Hiruzen said, "It's over. You can no longer use your arms and hence, never weave any hand signs. You'll never be able to learn any new Ninjutsu. Even though you can perform many jutsus without any seals, good luck performing them without a part of your soul. Of course, that is if you managed to get away alive."

Orochimaru continued screaming, but Hiruzen no longer heard his voice. The part of Orochimaru's soul, that had been cut by the God of Death, was pulled into Hiruzen's chest by the God of Death. He grabbed Hiruzen's soul as well and began extracting it out.

The cost of using such a deadly jutsu was the soul of the caster. Just like Minato and the twelve Kages he sealed inside the God of Death, Hiruzen's soul would also be sealed inside the God of Death!

Most of Hiruzen's soul had been extracted, however, before the God of Death could take his entire soul, a blade of wind appeared out of thin air and sliced through Hiruzen's soul!
