Marking the start of Orochimaru’s invasion. Chaos ensues as giant snakes tear through Konoha’s walls, explosions happen around the stadium, and enemy shinobi flood the village.

Body Trill Technique

Arikurin summons Swiftlet Clones to aid in battle

Unphased, Arikurin quickly summoned multiple Swiftlet Clones. they launch into action, each using the Sonic Dash Technique. propelling themselves forward with bursts of sound-shattering speed. The invading shinobi have no time to react as the clones, appearing as mere afterimages, dart from one enemy to the next. With each dash, the clones strike, their fingers precisely targeting the chakra points of their foes. The invaders drop to the ground, unconscious and paralyzed, before they can even comprehend what has happened. in a matter of minutes, most of the Oto ninja at the north part of the the stadium had been eliminated.

Elsewhere, as ANBU members try to come to the Third's rescue, one of them stabs the other 2 in the back. It is revealed to be Sekkei, former root operative and Missing-nin. As the battle in Konoha reaches its conclusion, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, seals Orochimaru’s arms using the Reaper Death Seal, rendering him permanently incapable of performing ninjutsu. Orochimaru’s arms fall limp, a symbol of his defeat, and he curses the dying Hokage, vowing revenge. Despite the setback, Orochimaru is carried away by the Sound Four. They are pursued by Arikurin. Arikurin, determined to stop them, pursues the group, chasing them through the woods. The Sound Four eventually come to a halt, realizing they are being followed. As they prepare to defend themselves, Sekkei steps forward opting to fight alone. Arikurin, seeing Sekkei’s presence after a few years, tightens his grip on his weapon.

Sekkei vs Arikurin

Sekkei is captured

Arikurin and Sekkei face off, weapons ready. Sekkei, armed with his deadly triple-bladed claw, strikes first, his movements fast and precise. The claws slash through the air with speed, aiming for Arikurin’s vital points. Arikurin, holding his Shinto Tantō, moves with calm precision, meeting each of Sekkei’s blows with practiced blocks and quick deflections. Sparks fly as metal clashes, their weapons ringing with every impact. Sekkei, growing frustrated, takes a step back and shifts his stance, using the triple blades to slash at different angles in an attempt to catch Arikurin off guard. However, Arikurin continues to deflect. As Sekkei gets more aggressive, Arikurin counters with calculated, smaller movements, using his sword to redirect the attacks instead of meeting them head-on. Sekkei aims a fierce overhead strike, but Arikurin ducks, letting the claw pass overhead, and counters with a precise stab toward Sekkei’s torso.

Shindo Tanto destroyed

Arikurin's blade is destroyed

Sekkei, on the brink of defeat, grits his teeth and activates his Cursed Seal, his chakra surging as his body transforms. Dark markings spread across his skin, and his power increases, the air around him crackling with new energy. Arikurin watches carefully, his Byakugan revealing the surge of chakra around Sekkei. He’s aware that this change will make Sekkei far more dangerous. Sekkei launches himself at Arikurin with newfound strength, the air rushing behind him as he swings the triple-bladed claw with a force and speed unlike before. His next attack, sliced Arikurin's blade in half.

The clash is louder, the strikes heavier, as Sekkei’s enhanced strength pushes Arikurin back. Despite the intensity of Sekkei’s onslaught, Arikurin remains calm. He avoids the vicious strikes, but Sekkei’s increased speed and raw power make it harder to stay ahead. With each strike that passes dangerously close, Arikurin feels the weight of Sekkei’s transformation. Sekkei lands a few hits, his claws slicing through Arikurin’s ANBU attire and skin. But just as he prepares for another strike, a wall of sharp, jagged ice to block Sekkei’s path. The ice forms a solid barrier between the two, freezing the air in an instant. Sekkei was suddenly surrounded by a swarm of kikaichū and they began to eat at his chakra. The transformation, though powerful, has its drawbacks. Sekkei falls to the ground, his Cursed Seal’s power beginning to fade. His body trembles, drained from the overuse of chakra. He is captured and brought to the Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force.

With Arikurin getting closer and closer to them, Tsuki and Taiyo, decides to engage with their pursuer. As Arikurin engages them, he quickly realizes the danger—every strike he lands phases through their shifting forms, his attacks unable to connect properly. The siblings, possessing a rare and unnamed Kekkei Genkai, have the terrifying ability to break their bodies down to a molecular level. Worse yet, the twins attempt to merge with his body, seeking to invade his cells and break him down from the inside. Relying on his Byakugan, Arikurin swiftly analyzes their movements, searching for a weakness. He disrupts their molecular structure with finely-tuned soundwaves, forcing them to separate and briefly reform into solid bodies. The moment of instability gives him an opening to strike and save Honami.

Suddenly, a piercing sound cut through the tension—a Vibration Control: Bullet fired by Arikurin shattered the window and narrowly missed Kisame, forcing him to release Naruto.

However, Kisame pulled Samehada from his back to defend himself. Shikari quickly followed up, releasing a torrent of massive water jets from his mouth. Hidden within the jets, Shimora’s poison-tipped senbon struck true, embedding themselves into Kisame’s skin. Swelling pustules began forming across his body, and from observing the symptoms, Kisame deduced he had been poisoned.

In an instant, Arikurin was pulled into the world of Tsukuyomi. For what felt like two endless days, he endured the agonizing sensation of drowning, his body thrashing as phantom waves overwhelmed him. When the genjutsu ended, Arikurin collapsed, gasping for air, his mind and body pushed to their limits. The exertion proved too much for Itachi as well, and he fell to one knee, visibly exhausted. Sensing their chance to retreat, Kisame unleashed a massive tidal wave that sent both Shikari and Shimora flying. The sheer force of the attack cleared a path, allowing Kisame to lift the weakened Itachi and escape into the distance.

Days later, Gennō set his plan in motion, stealing several critical building blueprints. He deployed a smokescreen within the village and attempted to escape toward the eastern forest, evading capture.

Yakumo's escape and subsequent attack on Konohagakure show her growing desperation and desire for revenge. Even though her Kekkei genkai was sealed, the risk of Ido the inner-demon's influence on her remains, especially as the power could resurface in dangerous ways. Later that night, A meddling Naruto, disguised as Kurenai, attempted to sneak into Yakumo’s mansion. But he was stopped almost immediately.

In the interrogation room, Arikurin reaches into the boy's mind and the truth began to unravel. Menma had lost his parents when he was young, left alone in the world to fend for himself. The Shiin Clan had taken him in, adopted him as one of their own, and trained him in their music ninja art. But what Arikurin hadn’t expected was the tattoo—one nearly identical to his own. More than that, he uncovered something far more critical: the location of his clansmen’s next attack.

Arikurin vs Shiin
