Chapter 240 Snake Aunt Breaks Defense, Karin's Diamond Lock
"Damn it, what on earth is that?!" Under the Four Purple Flame Formation, Orochimaru felt the pain from the depths of his soul, and he was drenched in sweat and his eyes were bloodshot.
In particular, he seemed to see the Grim Reaper behind the Third Generation, that terrifying and elusive presence!
Not far from Orochimaru were the Sound Ninja sacrifices, Zaku and Kin, whose souls had been extracted and whose Edo Tensei state had been forcibly removed.
"As you can see, that's the Grim Reaper who will end your life! This is the forbidden technique that the Fourth Hokage called a hero: the Reaper Death Seal." The Third Hokage, panting heavily, stared at Orochimaru, his old face grinning like a chrysanthemum. "Orochimaru, I will soon extract your soul and take you to the Grim Reaper's belly."
“My master and I will be embroiled in endless fighting and mutual hatred there. Your ambitions are here, and I have utterly extinguished them!”
"What?! Could this be the ninjutsu used to seal the Nine-Tails?!" Orochimaru broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. Even with his arrogance, he couldn't possibly be as powerful as the Nine-Tails. "Damn old man, who wants to die with you..."
With a ferocious roar, Orochimaru slightly moved his fingers, and his Sky Blade instantly sliced through the air, piercing the Third Hokage's back.
Seeing the Third Hokage remain unmoved and directly withstand the attack, Orochimaru was stunned and his defenses crumbled. He had originally intended to force the Third Hokage to dodge the interruption technique, but unexpectedly…
"So, this is why you entrusted the Fifth Hokage to Kakashi? You old codger, you've already prepared yourself for death!!"
"Heh, I already said that, Orochimaru." The Third Hokage shook his head with a wry smile, then sighed slightly. "The sealed person and the caster will be taken away and swallowed by the Grim Reaper after the seal ends. So I, who am destined to die, don't need to hide at all. I'm already very satisfied to be able to take you with me."
"What?!" Instantly, not only Orochimaru but also Kakashi and the others outside changed color.
No wonder the Third Hokage appointed the Fifth Hokage before the battle was over; that's where the problem lay.
The Third Hokage will die today!!
While everyone was awestruck by the greatness of the Third Hokage, Shukaku, who had also suffered the same fate as Orochimaru, also showed signs of madness.
"Damn bastard, he actually wants to extract my soul. How could I possibly agree to such a thing!" Shoukaku roared furiously, unleashing his remaining chakra without reservation, instantly creating a monstrous surge of chakra that pressed down in all directions.
As long as the formation is broken, it will still have a chance to break free of the seal.
"Damn it, Shukaku's power is still too strong! Even after repeated battles, it's something that an A-rank sealing technique can't suppress." Ishikawa was shocked to see the sealing array being constantly attacked, but now he was already in a difficult situation.
If they give up now, they'll be facing a berserk Shukaku! This is no joke...
"Sasuke, Naruto, help me suppress it." Glancing at Naruto and Sasuke not far away out of the corner of his eye, Ishikawa immediately called out, ready to bask in the protagonist's aura.
Seeing the situation was dire, Sasuke, bound by the cursed seal, finally gritted his teeth and accepted its power. His eyes instantly turned a dazzling crimson, "Genjutsu: Sharingan."
"We're coming too, Toad Boss!" Naruto, naturally unwilling to be left behind, called out to gather more people.
Gamabunta was speechless, but his body still betrayed him as he retrieved the toad sword and swung it to distract Shukaku.
In an instant, with the help of Naruto and Sasuke, a visible phantom of a tanuki was gradually peeled away from Shukaku's body and flowed into the talisman.
Even with Naruto and Sasuke's help, the speed of extracting souls was still too slow!
"Go to hell, you brat! I refuse to be divided and sealed by you!" Suddenly, the half of Shukaku that had been pulled out roared and opened its mouth to inhale, about to unleash a wind-style attack on Ishikawa.
Forced to maintain the seal, Ishikawa was instantly caught in a dilemma.
Should you avoid the interrupted seal and save your life, or trust your companions' strength and continue to fight head-on?
"Ishikawa!" Upon seeing this, Lee was about to unleash his Eight Gates to rescue the person, but this time someone was faster than him.
"You stinking monster, don't even think about hurting Ishikawa-kun!!" Seeing Ishikawa in mortal danger, Karin's true form let out a sharp shout, and a golden chakra chain suddenly flew out from her chest, binding the detached half of Shukaku in the blink of an eye.
"Diamond Sealing Chains." Looking at the chakra chains suppressing Shukaku, Ishikawa was overjoyed as he saw Karin drenched in sweat.
Unexpectedly, the wet nurse proved to be the most reliable person in this crucial moment!
Taking advantage of Shukaku being suppressed by the chakra chains, Ishikawa immediately strengthened the seal and quickly extracted Shukaku's soul, which is the Yin Shukaku chakra.
"Seal!!" Soon, as the last wisp of soul was extracted, Ishikawa shouted and slapped the talisman on his chest to end the seal.
Why go through all this trouble? Isn't it all for the chakra of Shukaku?
Becoming a Jinchūriki is somewhat risky, but how can you catch up with those overpowered characters without taking shortcuts?
He'll try the doorknob tonight to see if he can eliminate the negative will of the tailed beast. If he can, he'll really be set for life!
"Snap... Puff puff puff..."
Almost the instant Ishikawa severed Shukaku, Shukaku's body also cracked and turned to sand as if it had been severely injured, collapsing like a sand sculpture...
"Damn it, you actually defeated that guy! No way, how is this possible?!" As the sand continued to fall, Gaara's figure gradually materialized as he roared in disbelief.
"Why not?" Ishikawa scoffed, then turned to Naruto and Sasuke. "You two defeat this guy and bring him back. He's an important prisoner. If you complete this mission, I'll recommend you to the village for promotion to Chunin."
It's just a recommendation; whether it works or not still depends on the village's approval!
"Chunin, Chunin! Sasuke, don't interfere, he's mine!" Naruto, unaware of this, thought that capturing the other would make him a Chunin and immediately pounced on him.
He defeated that terrifying monster, so why would he be afraid of a mere Gaara?
"Idiot, don't try to steal it from me." Sasuke was not to be outdone, and relied on the residual power of the cursed seal to forcefully unleash his power in an attempt to steal the kill.
He's determined to get the Chunin this time!
"Hooray! How could I, the Azure Beast, miss out on such an exciting event? Chunin, here I come!" Seeing this scene, Lee's blood boiled, and without waiting for Ishikawa to say anything, he rushed forward as well.
In the blink of an eye, Gaara, already low on health, was facing Naruto, Sasuke, and Lee, and the scene instantly became incredibly intense...
"These three guys are way too easy to fool!" Ishikawa's lips twitched as he shook his head inwardly, gently touching the talisman on his chest.
If he weren't afraid that a fierce battle would cause Yin Shouhe to suffer a backlash, why would he have entrusted the task to someone else?
"Over there, it should be almost over too!" Ishikawa suddenly turned his head, his eyes flickering as he looked at the Chunin Tournament venue.
After the Third Hokage's death in battle, the era of Konoha's Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, began...
Anyway, he had already established a good relationship with Tsunade beforehand, which would be beneficial to him! Perfect, this time when Tsunade comes back, he can be shameless and insist on contracting the slug no matter what.
In short, he's determined to cling to the Fifth Hokage's long legs!
