The one who has turned into a complete cripple is surely yearning for his death!
After all, even though Jiraiya was disabled before, he could still somehow walk. Of the three legs, he had one left, and now? Now he has finally turned into Hawking.

- damn it! Damn it! Sila, come out! Ah, ah!
Naruto roared madly, squeezing his strength out of himself at all costs. The chains that bound him rattled, ready to shatter into pieces. A pain like tearing his arms shot through him, but... he had to destroy Konoha!
— A-a-a-a-a! R-r-r-r!
* I felt your tyrannical will, I understood your desire!*
* Come on, use our power and destroy this damn Konoha!*
* Power, come out!*
At that moment, even the Nine-Tails was on fire. It was as if a flame had ignited in his scarlet eyes, and an all-consuming will had ignited in his heart. An incredibly terrifying power surged through his body, pushed to the limit, no, even beyond the limit. At that moment, his body even started to burn.
* Crunch!*
— Konoha is weakened, this is our chance!
"Haha, I didn't think we'd get through so easily. All thanks to the senjutsu shared by Mount Myoboku. Without him, with our strength, we would not have been able to attack even such a weakened Konoha!
— But are you sure that the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails are holding it here?
— Absolutely sure!
In the semi-darkness of the corridor, several ninjas from a certain organization were cautiously making their way forward. In the hour of death and disaster, when the world stood on the edge of the abyss, they did not think about saving it or destroying Uchiha Yue. On the contrary, they had a terrible reverence for him, hoping that Uchiha Yue would be able to destroy this sinful, dirty and disgusting world.
— The world of Shinobi, aristocrats, commoners — this world can no longer be saved, everything must be destroyed! Everything must be destroyed!
— With the help of the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, we can destroy the plans of those ninjas!
That's how these sectarians talked. In addition to mentally ill fanatics and deluded philistines, the core of their group consisted of people whose families had been destroyed and whose lives had turned into a living hell because of ninjas, aristocrats, or even ordinary people.
Aristocrats stole children from some of them, turning them into toys, and they never returned. Other ninjas had their relatives killed, but they couldn't take revenge. Still others had their wives and daughters humiliated, and they hated the whole world.
And now, finally, there was a chance!
Soon they reached Naruto's place of detention and stopped.
— You…
In the cell, a figure shrouded in shadow and dark red chakra slowly raised its head. Her scarlet eyes, full of cruelty and ferocity, stared at them.…

Failure!
He thought it would be an ordinary mission, just to destroy the man-eating monster. But he did not expect such a crushing defeat. After this battle, Konoha's forces suffered again, which Orochimaru did not foresee at all.
* It looks like we need to perfect the Edo Tensei technique as soon as possible! And yet, the Child of Prophecy…*
* The incident with the teacher must be reported to Mr. Jigen! Otherwise, if you let him continue to devour everything in his path, I'm afraid he'll devour the entire Land of Fire!*
* If the Child from the prophecy turns out to be among the dead…*
With a gloomy face, Orochimaru and the ninja next to him hurriedly headed for Konoha.
Fate is an indefinite thing. Man can conquer heaven. A monster like Uchiha Yue shouldn't have appeared in the normal course of fate. Moreover, due to the uncertainty of fate, the Child from the prophecy, until he is found, like Schrodinger's cat, is in a state between life and death.
They were racing against time. If they win, the world will be saved, and Uchiha Yue will fall by the hand of the Child from the prophecy. If they lose, the Child from the prophecy will die in some forgotten corner, and Uchiha Yue will finally destroy the world.
Sarutobi Hiruzen must die. For Konoha's sake and for the sake of the whole world.
At that moment, Orochimaru could only pray that there was no Child from the prophecy among those absorbed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, so that only insignificant extras would die. Otherwise…
...their Konoha may be destroyed!
Uchiha Yue appeared because of Konoha, and now the Child from the prophecy may also die because of Konoha. In such a situation... if it had been Orochimaru himself, he would have hit Konoha without hesitation.
Rather than letting a clueless ally live and drag everyone to the bottom, it's better to kill him in one fell swoop.
* What are you guys from Konoha trying to achieve? Is your true goal to destroy the world? Or did you conspire with Uchiha Yue so that when the entire population of the world disappears, only your village will remain, and you will become the strongest and only Shinobi village?*
It's unclear why, but when they started running away, Sarutobi Hiruzen initially gave chase, but devouring everything in his path as he approached Konoha, he eventually stopped chasing as soon as their silhouettes disappeared from sight.
However, it was for the best. Orochimaru seriously suspected that the current Sarutobi Hiruzen had the ability to absorb souls. During the battle, he watched and saw countless creepy faces appear on Hiruzen's head. And even after he devoured his own son, a face that belonged to Asuma Sarutobi appeared on him.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has definitely undergone some kind of strange mutation, turning from a normal being into an ugly monster!
This secret must be hidden in that very Area of Dead Silence. Hiruzen must have experienced something there that made him like this. Otherwise, there would be no reason for such a transformation.
There was no problem with Edo Tensei's technique. None of the resurrected turned into such a monster, into such a madman as Sarutobi Hiruzen.
* If... if I could understand the reason for this mutation, then maybe... maybe I could create the perfect Edo Tensei technique!*
* Fortunately, although Mr. Jigen forbade us to grab people for experiments indiscriminately, after proper verification it is still possible!*
Material for experiments…
