NARUTO - EPISODE SEVENTY-TWO: A Mistake From The Past, A Face Revealed!
Sakura lost.
The animation...is not as nice as last episodes. Team Naruto is chasing the sauce. Pakkun smells something...Sakura uses the same shampoo he does...only his coat is a lot glossier than hers. "I smell like a dog" is repeated over and over and ghost Sakura floats away through the trees. Sauce time. Gaara isn't ready yet and this Uchiha kid is trouble. Temari time. She throws some kunai which he dodges easily. Kakuro thinks that she's no match for him alone but she's been waiting for this fight. Kakuro gets away with Gaara! She's almost out of juice from her first round match. She needs him to waste his chakra as well. He's gonna just try and one hit her with the Chidori. Wind Scythe Jutsu! Sandstorm Jutsu! He's holding back! He can't get into range at this rate. Phoenix Flower Jutsu to get her on the ground and then a Fireball jutsu to roast her. Nope, her wind is too strong and he slips on some sand and has kunai thrown in his center mass.
It's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
Of course it's a substitution jutsu. She is knocked back by the paper bomb exploding but fortunately for her he's gotta run. Hopefully she held him back long enough for Gaara to get away.
It's, it's...
Orochimaru time. Who is it? It's me, Orochimaru! Sarutobi is LEGIT SHOOK. It's been a decade since he left the village. This is why you weren't the fourth Hokage. Backstory time from when the third found Orochimaru's hidden lab of human experimentation. The jig is up. He wasn't expecting anyone to get through his traps but of course the Third could. Apparently Orochimaru has been kidnapping ninja of all stripes...and he freely admits it. He's developing jutsu. Forbidden stuff. He wants it all. Immortality is what he'll need to find/invent all the jutsu. Even if he was Hokage he'd die one day. Eternal youth is a side benefit. So he invented the immortality jutsu. Body Stealing is the idea behind it. He used his old form for sentimental reasons. Throws more shade at the the Third for being old and busted. He thanks the leaf for raising his next body so well. Yes, he wants the Sauce. Joekage wants to know how many bodies he has used so far. Two or three but he's waiting for his main dish of sauce, needs to be ripened a bit. He asks Joekage which face he should use and then switches back to Orochimaru classic. The zombies are ready to go again and the first puts him in a familiar looking wood prison. The third is still out of it, he never really wanted to fight his favorite pupil. Just as he allowed Orochimaru to escape when he fled the village last time. A once in a generation student coming during the great ninja war. A worthy successor. He was naive then and its all his fault that this is happening now. He summoned Enma back then as well and the monkey king told him to kill Orochimaru who instead just killed the two ANBU and ran away. He couldn't do it then...but he can now! He's ready to go.
Stolen from Naruto.
SHADOW CLONE JUTSU! Anbu and Orchimaru think he is just trying to shorten his life span but nope, the third starts up some crazy hand signs. The fourth's forbidden jutsu?!?
He summoned Itsygo!
The reaper, invisible to all but the one who summoned it. Orochimaru says the Leaf will fall. Not on the third's watch who cuts a fiery old timer promo. The second tries some Genjutsu which brings infinite darkness. Orochimaru calls the Leaf a mere cluster of huts.
Nah son, this place is home. The village is his family. A pillar full of termites and rot. Even if he falls Orochimaru will still fail. He's the third hokage but the fifth will come along and form a new house even stronger than the one he's laid down. Now it's time for the reaper death seal!
*sniff*
