Chiyu seizes upon Senju Tobirama's opening, reversing his feint with a Lightning‐Release Shadow Clone to lure the enemy, while his true body suddenly appears right in front of Tobirama. The Mangekyō Sharingan in Chiyu's right eye instantly activates!
Although once hailed as the fastest shinobi in the world, Tobirama has no time to respond. Seeing that pair of scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan eyes, he realizes it is already too late…
Whenever you see the Sharingan's gaze, it means you have already been ensnared.
Chiyu declares without hesitation.
The power of his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan erupts, forcibly drawing Senju Tobirama's soul into Chiyu's personal Inferno‐Judgment Domain!
Tobirama suddenly beholds mountains of corpses and oceans of blood, the underworld's darkness, the netherworldly Pure Land, countless sins…
And in his very soul, scarlet flames begin to blaze ferociously!
Even he cannot help letting out a pained wail under the scorching of this karmic fire, burning directly into his spirit.
Within that Judgement Domain, Tobirama sees Chiyu, standing there like some deity of demons, gazing coldly upon him, prepared to judge every one of his crimes.
Because in truth, Senju Tobirama was the one who compiled so many human experiments!
In creating Edo Tensei, the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags, and other forbidden jutsu, how many live sacrifices did he use, how many times did he rely on the souls of the dead? On the battlefield, he showed no scruples, employing the most ruthless means imaginable.
Even the previous Kage of other villages, upon mentioning Senju Tobirama, would grit their teeth and curse him as the most devious, dishonorable foe they had ever faced!
Not to mention how, time and again, he had suppressed and manipulated the Uchiha clan—constricting them via policy, driving wedges among them, pushing them relentlessly into the dire straits they face today.
These red‐lotus flames scald his spirit, judging his sins.
Even while screaming frantically, Tobirama shows no remorse whatsoever.
"Uchiha Chiyu…you think you can judge my wrongdoing? A mere Uchiha like you isn't qualified!"
Chiyu replies calmly:
"It's not up to you to decide who's qualified or not."
"It's I who decides."
"The karmic flames around you are ignited by your own crimes. The worse your sins, the fiercer it burns… Right now…"
"Your karmic fire is blazing brilliantly."
Tobirama, in excruciating pain, roars:
"Evil Uchiha clan… No matter what flowery speeches you spout, you can't change the fact you're all born wicked! Eventually, I'll see every one of you Uchiha perish alongside me!"
"You won't live to see that day. But in the Netherworld, the entire Senju clan has already died off, so you can reunite with them there."
Tobirama, overcome with boundless fury, is then fully consumed by the blazing karmic fire.
His vengeful roars and piercing screams gradually fade away…
In the real world, everyone sees Tobirama's Edo Tensei form letting out a short, gut‐wrenching howl, only to fall silent within seconds.
His soul is burned away and released; Edo Tensei's link is undone, revealing the lifeless remains of the original sacrificial body used for the jutsu.
Edo Tensei Tobirama—Sarutobi Hiruzen's final trump card—
Thus comes to an end.
[You have successfully helped Senju Tobirama to be reunited with the rest of his Senju clan in the afterlife, your merits are immeasurable! Great Virtue! +2000 Virtue Points!]
At this point, gazing upon the scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen appears utterly desolate, a man whose spirit has died while still breathing.
He knows his cause is lost.
Uchiha Itachi is dead.
The masked "Uchiha Madara" is grievously wounded and driven away.
Jiraiya is badly injured and unable to continue fighting.
Mitokado Homura is dead.
The entire Shimura clan is exterminated.
And just now, Edo‐Tensei Tobirama perishes once again; every piece of Hiruzen's carefully planned lineup has fallen to Uchiha Chiyu!
Uchiha Itachi, "Uchiha Madara," Jiraiya… plus Edo Tensei Tobirama himself, all hopelessly bested by this man.
There's nobody left— just him, Sarutobi Hiruzen, alone…
Facing an opponent who seems utterly unbeatable, as though he were Hiruzen's fated nemesis, the avatar of death.
"I refuse to accept this!"
Decades of scheming and governance—could it all be undone by one single man?
Hiruzen roars, pouring out all his fury and despair.
"You have ruined everything!"
"I will tear you to pieces!"
His usual veneer of gentleness and benevolence—the mild mask he wore these many years—has at last shattered, exposing the real Sarutobi Hiruzen in his final hopeless moment.
All around, the Anbu and Sarutobi clansmen freeze, astonished at this unfamiliar side of the Hokage.
Meanwhile, all members of the Uchiha clan, and every police force shinobi look on with cold indifference:
"For all those years the Uchiha clan has been persecuted… for those many kinsmen they oppressed and murdered…"
Even Hatake Kakashi, watching wordlessly, says nothing—merely gazing on:
"So at last… we've come to this day."
He lifts his head slightly, as if looking up to where his father might be in the beyond.
"Father, do you see it?"
"The ones who tormented you—finally they face judgment."
"And it was all thanks to Chiyu-sama."
Meanwhile, Uchiha Fugaku, having used his Mangekyō Sharingan's "Yaoyorozu no Kami" to overwhelm Koharu, has taken her prisoner alive. Witnessing Chiyu face down Sarutobi Hiruzen, Fugaku cannot help reflecting deeply:
"Chiyu—you truly are…"
"The savior of the Uchiha clan…"
On another side, Fukasaku and Shima, the two great Toad Sages, gasp for breath:
"Jiraiya, what do we do now?"
"It's obvious your old sensei's in dire straits. We have no strength left to save him…"
Jiraiya remains silent.
"Two Sages, do you think Tobirama, or my master—"
"Maybe they deserved it all along?"
The two elder toads look at each other, sighing:
"Jiraiya, humans' desires have no end. Reaching their goals by any means is common among those in power. People like First Hokage Hashirama are rare exceptions among exceptions."
"As for how to judge them, it depends on one's point of view."
"Truly, what a dark and dismal world…"
"That's precisely why I detest all these schemes and politics."
"But my teacher, my students… it seems I was destined to be caught in the middle."
"It doesn't matter anymore; if it's come to this, I can accept any outcome…"
"Dying together with the teacher is also fine…"
The two old toads sigh at him.
By now, it is obvious that Sarutobi Hiruzen's era has come to an end.
But he refuses to die quietly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen claps his hands together, releasing the last of his chakra.
"Uchiha Chiyu, if we must die, we die together!
I would rather drag you to the grave than see you take power over Konoha Village. I refuse to let you stand triumphant—never!" Fresh chapters posted on NoveIꜰire.net
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
He produces five shadow clones—the maximum he can manage in his present state.
Billows of white smoke swirl. Among them:
"Jiraiya, is he planning to use that forbidden jutsu? The same jutsu Minato used to seal the Nine-Tails, giving up his own life…"
Fukasaku and Shima both tremble.
Chiyu, on the other side, just smiles faintly:
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you want to die, do you?"
"But if you imagine you can choose your own death… you're too naive."
"Don't speak such nonsense!"
"Enma—lend me your strength for the final time!"
Even though Enma the Monkey King's lost an arm and half his body, he still forces himself to remain in his adamantine staff form, jabbing forcefully toward Chiyu.
But Chiyu does not dodge. He endures the blow.
Instantly, Enma transforms into the Adamantine Prison Wall—only now it's used offensively to lock and seal him in a staff-formed cage!
Chiyu's entire body is trapped in that adamantine cage.
Simultaneously, Hiruzen's real body and his clones converge from all directions, completing the final hand signs—
"Uchiha Chiyu… Come with me to Hell!"
"Reaper Death Seal!!!"
All at once, the Death God's fearsome phantom emerges behind Hiruzen!
Huge, terrifying, wild-haired, sporting horns, fangs dripping saliva, a short blade in its mouth—a monstrous visage glaring down at Hiruzen and Chiyu, gripping both souls, trying to tear them from their physical forms!
Hiruzen cackles like a demon:
"Uchiha Chiyu, you have no say in my death—and your own fate is sealed!"
"Even if I can't kill you, once I invoke this jutsu, there is no way out for me either!"
"Uchiha Chiyu, I won't let you do as you please. Neither can you humiliate me while I live!"
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you truly believe none can stop your jutsu?"
"So you think this is not just an illusion?"
In that instant, Hiruzen's entire body shudders, face paling dramatically—
A metallic ringing resounds:
He stares in horror, realizing… he never cast any Reaper Death Seal nor created those shadow clones at all!
Everything he just did was pure hallucination!
And right before him—only the real Chiyu, eyes stained crimson with that Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan…
Hiruzen's agonized screams echo through the heavens.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen—your life or death no longer depends on you."
"I shall judge all your sins—so you can understand what it truly means…"
"…to live wanting death but never dying."
"Magatsuhi no Kami!!"
