Ch. 81: Forbidden Secret Technique: Reaper Death Seal!

3rd POV

'A jutsu I haven't seen?' Orochimaru's piercing eye peeks through the darkness.

The Hokage and his clones are still in their position with hands flat together. The spirit behind them is getting impatient as it growls and moves its demonic eyes to the side. Slowly, the Reaper lifts up its clawed hand that's holding a red beaded necklace.

The old man notices and thinks, 'I've got to hurry. This darkness is dangerous.'

"Well, must I make you show it to me?"

The Hokage takes a sharp breath in and uses his arm guard as a defense. His arm is on the verge of being broken from the amount of powerful kicks he's receiving. The last attack however cuts his right shoulder and his crimson blood gushes out as he collapses on his back.

The hidden snake ninja watches him sitting back up with a sneer. "What's the matter? Are you planning to let your predecessors pummel you to death?" Sarutobi grabs his shoulder to stop his blood spilling. "Are you going to show me this jutsu or not?"

'Hurry. Hurry!' The old man thought as he breathed not too lightly.

The ghost's arm is up high and with a flick of its wrist, the necklace wraps around its arm. While Sarutobi stands up wobbly, black markings begin to show up on the spirit's hand. The markings slide down through the red beads until they reach its elbow. The personified chakra tilts their head back when the marked hand penetrates their back. Apparently, the Third Hokage felt that too when he coughed out more blood. It turns out that chakra belongs to Sarutobi.

"Finally it's done, and not a minute too soon." He winces from the internal searing pain.

"Aw, what's wrong? You're reeling from fatigue already?"

The elderly man forms another hand sign which causes his clones to jump away. 'Now all that's left is to catch hold of him.'

The clones run off in separate directions in the dark. One of them senses a presence nearby and swerves to the left.

Reaching out his hand, he grabs ahold of someone. "I have you!" He grips the unknown person with his other hand.

Then unexpectedly, blood shot out of his back three times. He groans and his body cries out in agony.

"I won't let go! I summon thee!" He shouted.

The Reaper digs its arm further in his chakra and soon its claws rip out his physical black top. It doesn't stop there as it also phases through the captured person. His skin gets even more sweaty and he is panting through his clenched teeth. All of a sudden, the darkness begins opening up, letting the light come in. The Hokage looks up his capture to find Hashirama face to face. The second clone caught Tobirama and the spirit of death's arm is in his chest too.

Orochimaru narrows his eyes. "The darkness vanished. What is this jutsu?"

"Sarutobi!" Enma widens his eye.

At the same time, the spirit gradually brings its arms back while holding onto the first two Hokages's chakras.

"Forgive us, Sarutobi." The First Hokage is free from the enemy's control.

The old man looks down, feeling his eyes about to glisten.

Same with the Second Hokage. "We made your life difficult."

The fleshy colors drain from the men's bodies as their chakras are being taken away.

"And forgive me, First Lord Hokage, Second Lord Hokage." He closes his tearful eyes as his mentors turn light gray like a statue. "Now!" The clones release the Hokage stones. "Seal!" They both stabilize their stance and feel the powerful chakras sink in their chests.
