The final fight between a student and his teacher

Back in the village, the battle was slowly turning. The Leaf ninja's knowledge of the village and their determination to push these attackers out of their home was giving them the will to keep fighting and the invaiing sound ninja were losing ground with each minute that passed. It was however not only the leaf ninja who were fighting off the waves of attackers. Those ninja from the other nations in attendance were assisting in the eradication of sound ninja in their own ways.

The remaining Desert Sibling Kankuro and his sensei Baki, along with their comrades had been caught in the middle of the fighting between the two nations, and they had quickly sided with Konoha in defending the village. Better to side with the nation with the advantage and the treaty then an invading **** that could turn on them. Those few mist ninja who had come to Konoha along with Haku's team and their escort soon fell in line and had begun helping to evacuate civilians from hot spots around the village under the commands of the leaf leaders.

"Well, I got to say, you Leaf-nin are tenacious, and you all seem to bite more then you can chew and still keep going.", Baki commented as he and Hayate finished off the enemy around them. "To be fair, we're not done. But your assistance is welcome.", Hayate replied as he looked to the sky and saw a hawk flying over the village. "Looks like it's time. We're about to do the final push to get them out of the village!", Hayate said as his sand ninja ally nodded and they lept to the roof of the buildings.

The battle for the hidden leaf village was drawing to a close.

The fight between Orochimaru and his former teacher and ally was as fierce as it had been from the start, even more so possibly now that Orochimarus two summoned minions had been taken care of by the two powerful shinobi he was matched against. "Give it up, Orochimaru! You couldn't beat Sarutobi-sensei, and against the two of us, you'll never win!", Jiraiya said confidently whilst the sound village leader only scowled more.

"You old fool Jiraiya! You have no idea the power I wield now and soon, the village you love so much will burn to the ground!", Orochimaru replied with a sickening grin as he was still pushed back by his old teachers attack. "Such a delusional nightmare will never come to pass, Orochimaru! Even now, your forces are being handeled by the leaf village, and your attack has failed to accomplish anything!", Sarutobi said determindly.

"My my Sarutobi-sensei, such vigor even as you know you can't win!", Orochimaru said as he blocked every attack the old Hokage sent his way, if barely. The remaining Sound Four looked on as their leader continued his fight against the two legendary ninja of the Leaf and though they followed their masters orders, they were growing concerned. The summoning had been his planned trump card to finish this fight, but now that it was gone it seemed the tide was turning in favor of his opponents.

Suddenly Sarutobi lept at Orochimaru and closed the gap betwen them, the fighting only growing even more fierce as he called out "Jiraiya, are you ready?!". The other Sannin nodded as he unrolled out a new scroll like the one he had used on the risen Hokages minutes earlier. "Ready!", Jiraiya yelled as the two put their plan into action.

Orochimaru was caught off guard as the pole Sarutobi was fighing with suddenly turned back into Enma who took hold of his blade whilst Sarutobi made several clones who quickly grabbed onto the snake Sannin. "Do it now, Jiraiya!", Sarutobi ordered as Orochimaru began to struggle out of shock.

"You fool Sarutobi-sensei! What are you doing!?", Orochimaru hissed as the old Hokages face hardened. "Something that should have been done long ago! I will see to it that you will not endanger anyone any longer, Orochimaru! That is my duty as your teacher!", he explained as Jiraiya finished the sealing on the scroll.

That statment made Orochimaru hiss even more as he stuggled. "No! You wouldn't do that!", he yelled angrily as Sarutobi grimly smirked. "We have already begun!" the third hokage said as Jiraiya tossed the scroll towards them, "Sarutobi-sensei hold him still!" Jiraiya yelled.

However, Orochimaru was not liking this and in an instant, his body twisted, much like a snake and he attempted to slither out of Sarutobis hold. He partially suceeded, but the hands of Sarutobi that still grasped his the sword held at least Orochimarus arms in place as the scroll wrapped around his outstreched hands, wrapping them like a mummys bindings.

"Crap! No good, didn't get him at all!", Jiraiya cursed. His intent had been to catch all or at least vital parts of Orochimaru, like this, only his arms would be destroyed. "No, that works as well, Jiraiya! Orochimaru, we are going to take away all the Jutsu you cling to so much, you'll never gain what you seek!", Sarutobi stated and then looked back to Jiraiya.

He nodded and quickly hold the wrapped limbs of his former student tightly. "Jiraiya, do it now!", Sarutobi ordered as Jiraiyas eyes hardened and he began to make the hand signs. "Old man, you sure about this?", Jiraiya asked as Sarutobi nodded. "I know what I'm doing Jiraiya and if I have to suffer for the village, so be it!", Sarutobi yelled determinedly.

The Sound Four, seeing their master in danger, were about to leap in and help him even if they had been ordered not to, only to come face to face with a new squad of ANBU as they blocked the path to the Snake sannin. "You made a bad choice to attack Konohagakure!", the leader said as they jumped towards Orochimarus bodyguards and further seperated them.

A moment later and Jiraiya made the final seal in his string and yelled out the name of the jutsu yet again. "Kokoro Houshutsu (Heart Release)!", he proclaimed firmly as the jutsu took effect, only this time something strange happened.

As Orochimaru struggled and gave a cry of pained rage, the scroll began to burn with white hot flames that spread along the entire wrapped portion of Orochimarus body, and as he kept hold of him the flames spread along Sarutobis arm, but Sarutobi not for a moment lossened his grip on his old students arms.

"OROCHIMARU-SAMA!", Kidomaru yelled as he and his three comrades managed to push past the ANBU blocking their way and tried to seperate their master from Jiraiyas jutsu, but it was already too late as they cut the scroll and Orochimarus hands feel lifelessly to his sides. "My arms! What did you do to my arms?!" Orochimaru hissed as he tried to move them only for it to be useless and they remained unmoving. Now, necrosis began to spread on them in an unnatural speed and within moments, Orochimarus arms were completely dead.

"Now you will never have what you desire, Orochimaru! Like I said before, we took your jutsu away!", Sarutobi said as he stood up, but like his previous student his arms hung at his sides, the cloth over his arms burnt just like the flesh beneath it. "Damn you, Sarutobi-sensei!", Orochimaru growled before looking at his bodyguards. "We're retreating for now! Get me out of here!", he ordered angrily.

"Yes sir!", they yelled as they quickly surrounded their leader and lept away, putting distance between themselves and the Leaf shinobi around them, concern for their leader made the ANBU leap to check on their leader first before pursuin Orochimaru. Jiraiya to was already at his old teachers side. "You know that you basically just retired again, don't you?", Jiraiya asked as Sarutobi smiled nevertheless. "Maybe, but it was my own choice. And besides, I get to see another sunrise in the village, I couldn't ask for more.", Sarutobi smiled as Jiraiya snickered. He was still the same old Sarutobi after all that.

Kurenai stood on the roof of a building, looking over the village as the remain fighting had finally died down, "Well, it looks like we won huh?", she asked as Anko who was sitting next to her nodded with a grin. "No small feat, and we owe much of it to your students, Kurenai-chan, especially Naruto.", Anko grinned as Kurenai nodded. "Well, I'm just glad all the training he put himself through paid off. Maybe now we can get Kakashi, Gai and Asuma to start training more seriously if my students can beat them like this.". Both Kunoichi laughed a bit before Anko noticed something.

"Hey Kurenai-chan, isn't that one of Narutos new toad friends down there?", Anko asked as they spotted a small orange toad jumping about the streets in search of something. "Hehe, looks like my student overdid it again. Guess I'll have to see you later Anko, I have to fetch my student.", Kureani grinned as she leapt off the roof to intercept the small orange figure.

Anko meanwhile grinned as she said to herself "Oh yes Kurenai-chan, you and me will see each other later, and I still have to teach Naruto so much... well, after we're done here, that is.". Anko grinned as she too lept off the building to find her next task.
