Naruto Paradise: An Evil Uchiha's Rise-Chapter 107: Orochimaru’s Masterclass in Gaslighting the Entire Village
Chapter 107 - Orochimaru's Masterclass in Gaslighting the Entire Village
"Uchiha Kage..."
He probably wasn't him, but he had the same effect on women.
Orochimaru watched the Uchiha teenager enter, finally realizing who the protagonist was in the Acting Mizukage's words to Sarutobi Hiruzen earlier.
Too bad Tsunade wasn't here; it would definitely be even more interesting.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen already knew what he was going to do today, even that he was impersonating the Kazekage.
Yet he still said those words just now...
Heh, was he planning to use morality to suppress Sunagakure?
Although Sunagakure had nothing to do with him, Orochimaru didn't intend to let Sarutobi Hiruzen stand comfortably on the moral high ground.
No longer focusing on the Chunin Exams below, Orochimaru subtly winked at Yakushi Kabuto, who was disguised as a Sunagakure guard.
After pretending to whisper a few words to the guard, Orochimaru immediately began his performance.
"What!? Uchiha Itachi? Uchiha Itachi, the one who massacred the entire Uchiha clan, is here!?"
Using Wind Release to amplify his voice, Orochimaru's feigned surprise and vigilance carried throughout the entire Exam Venue.
Countless spectators in the stands were stunned, then simultaneously looked towards the highest platform where the three Kage of Wind, Fire, and Water were seated.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen! I traveled all the way to Konoha to show goodwill, yet you plan to collude with a rogue ninja to assassinate me!?"
"Kazekage-sama!"
"Damn Hokage! Protect Kazekage-sama!"
Although they didn't know what was happening, the other Kazekage's guards, who had always regarded Konoha as an enemy, jumped onto the platform, aiming their kunai at the Hokage not far away.
At the same time, the Anbu standing behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the shadow guards behind Terumi Mei, also drew their weapons and stepped forward.
"Hokage-sama, what is going on?"
Terumi Mei reluctantly shifted her gaze from Uchiha Kage in the arena below to the Konoha ninja in front of her.
She had heard of Uchiha Itachi's name.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen planned to deal with the Kazekage?
Why didn't he warn her beforehand?
Could the previous alliance have been fake all along?
Thinking this, Terumi Mei frowned deeply, her beautiful eyes turning cold as she looked around.
If she and the Kazekage were really assassinated here, it would definitely lead to a full-scale war like the First Shinobi World War.
"Orochimaru, you!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect Orochimaru to make a false accusation before even taking action.
He had even succeeded in making the people below and the Kirigakure ninja beside him wary and suspicious of him.
"Orochimaru!? Where is he? So Hokage-sama not only ambushed us with the rogue ninja Uchiha Itachi, but also with the famous Sannin, Orochimaru, nearby. It seems he really intends to wipe out both me, the Kazekage, and the Acting Mizukage over there."
Touching the white gauze scarf on his face, Orochimaru continued to smear Sarutobi Hiruzen's name while disguised as Kazekage Rasa.
But it wasn't entirely slander; after all, both Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi were here.
Orochimaru sneered as he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, also glancing at the Anbu ninja behind him who hadn't moved an inch.
"Hokage, what do you want!?"
Uchiha Itachi, Orochimaru...
Hearing these two names mentioned together, Terumi Mei's expression finally changed, and she looked worriedly at the teenager who was still acting as a Chunin Exams referee in the center of the arena.
"Please, calm down, Terumi Mei. This is just Orochimaru's trick. I have never done anything to anyone..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought he had to stabilize the Kirigakure People, at least.
Otherwise, if a chaotic battle broke out later, nothing could be explained.
"Then dare to order the Anbu behind you to take off his mask?"
Orochimaru locked onto the Anbu ninja behind Sarutobi Hiruzen with his snake-like eyes.
"Hokage-sama!"
"What exactly is going on?"
Similarly, after Orochimaru caused the commotion, the Konoha Ninja also came to their Hokage's side to act as guards.
Leading the charge were Kakashi, Gai, Tenzō, and Gekko Hayate.
"You..."
Crap, Orochimaru also knows that I know he's Orochimaru, so he's turning around and framing me ...
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but admire his disciple's quick wit.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he knew that he couldn't explain anything clearly.
Not only were the Sunagakure and Kirigakure ninja aiming at him, but even the subordinates who had rushed over behind him, including the civilians in the surrounding stands who had come to watch the matches, were suspicious of him.
Rumors of Uchiha Itachi's presence had already spread throughout Konoha in recent days.
"Orochimaru, you murdered the Fourth Kazekage! Don't think you can hide this from everyone!"
The only way to clear himself now was to force Orochimaru to reveal his true colors.
"I see, deliberately pointing at me, the Kazekage, and calling me Orochimaru, that Konoha rogue, so that you can attack me in front of everyone later?"
'Orochimaru' chuckled as he took off his Kazekage traveling hat and pulled down the scarf covering his face.
He revealed Rasa's face to the crowd.
"Mizukage-san, can the guard beside you use the Byakugan to check the ninja behind the Hokage? I suspect he is the Konoha rogue, Uchiha Itachi!"
Involving the Kirigakure People, that was your biggest mistake, my teacher.
"Ao!"
Without Orochimaru saying more, Terumi Mei had already wanted the guard beside her to use the Byakugan to investigate.
"No need to trouble yourselves. I am indeed Uchiha Itachi."
Facing everyone's gaze and suspicion, Uchiha Itachi slowly took off the mask on his face.
"Itachi..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked in surprise at Uchiha Itachi, who had removed his disguise and stepped in front of him.
"However, my purpose in coming to Konoha is only to eliminate Orochimaru, the Akatsuki traitor. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
To reduce Sarutobi Hiruzen's burden, Uchiha Itachi intended to cut ties with him.
But what he didn't know was that because of his appearance, everyone now questioned Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The civilians in the audience also screamed and began to flee in disorder.
Less than ten years had passed since the Night of the Massacre, and most people still vividly remembered the corpses and blood that covered the Uchiha Clan Grounds that night.
So Uchiha Itachi's appearance was undoubtedly like a terrorist holding a rocket launcher and a box of explosives appearing in the middle of a crowded building.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you, you are the Hokage, yet you are with a rogue ninja!?"
Even the Land of Fire Daimyo, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the match, hurriedly crawled up from his chair like a dog, then cursed Sarutobi Hiruzen while being helped away by his guards.
"See, Uchiha Itachi, that dangerous rogue ninja, has already jumped out himself!"
Magnet Release: Iron Sand!
'Orochimaru' clapped his hands together, and the Chakra he had buried underground instantly rose from the earth, forming a waterfall of Iron Sand like a curtain.
The sand and stone broke through the grass on the ground, forming a Iron Sand waterfall like a curtain.
"What!?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen had always thought that the Fourth Kazekage in front of him was Orochimaru wearing a human skin mask, but now he suddenly saw that the other party had displayed the special Kekkei Genkai , Magnet Release.
Could he really be the Fourth Kazekage?
"Then where is Orochimaru?"
Even Uchiha Itachi was startled by the sudden Magnet Release Iron Sand.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had confidently said Orochimaru would be disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, but it was really him, not Orochimaru.
This immediately made him suspicious of Sarutobi Hiruzen as well.
Could it be that the Third Hokage had originally planned to attack the Kazekage, then launch a surprise attack on Sunagakure?
Uchiha Itachi, who already knew that Konoha had been gathering ninja armies on the border under Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement, began to feel uneasy.
"I have never met Orochimaru, whom you speak of. Konoha lured the Leader of an allied nation into the village to harm him. This act of betrayal will be engraved on the pillar of shame in the Ninja World. Sarutobi Hiruzen, even if I, Rasa, die today, I will take you down with me!"
"Impossible, you clearly already..."
But the rare Kekkei Genkai of Magnet Release cannot be impersonated ...
Looking at the Iron Sand waterfall in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen also fell into confusion for a moment.
"Uchiha Itachi..."
Kakashi and Gai, and all the Konoha Ninja behind them, looked at Uchiha Itachi not far from Sarutobi Hiruzen as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Hokage-sama, why is Uchiha Itachi here?"
This was beyond anything the Konoha ninja had expected.
Kakashi also quickly pulled up his forehead protector, revealing his Sharingan with three tomoe.
"Also, what's going on with the assassination of the Kazekage? Aren't we allies with Sunagakure?"
"It's Orochimaru! This is all Orochimaru's conspiracy! Calm down and don't be led by the nose!"
Faced with his subordinates' questions, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only continue to explain weakly.
Orochimaru, where is Orochimaru hiding now?
And why did the Fourth Kazekage revive ... Huh?
Wait, revive?
Could this be ...
Magnet Release: Gold Dust Surging Wave!
Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had finally reacted, Orochimaru quickly controlled Rasa to attack all the Konoha Ninja, including Sarutobi Hiruzen, with a large-scale Ninjutsu.
The Iron Sand waterfall that soared into the sky formed a huge hand in the air, then swept across the entire platform like a tidal wave.
"Get out of here!"
Kakashi took the lead in reminding everyone.
The Fourth Kazekage's Magnet Release was no joke. Once you were stuck with the Iron Sand , it would be difficult to escape.
----
Boom!
The Iron Sand tidal wave quickly shattered the rooftop platform.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Terumi Mei had all disappeared from their spots before the attack arrived.
But the Iron Sand that overflowed from above, as well as the debris from the destroyed platform and eaves, fell like sharp arrows, hitting the audience seats below.
For a time, the sound of collapsing ruins, the screams of the people, and the sound of running footsteps filled the entire Exam Hall.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
Seeing that the falling ruins were about to crash into the arena, Uchiha Kage quickly used Wind Release to blow away the sand, stone, and debris fragments.
"What's going on? What happened up there?"
Naruto, who was about to have a good match with Neji, looked at everything in front of him and couldn't believe his eyes.
"Hokage-sama seems to be in conflict with the Sunagakure Kazekage..."
Through the Byakugan 's insight, Neji quickly determined the situation.
"Orochimaru is quite capable."
Uchiha Kage had also understood everything that had happened here long ago.
After marveling at Orochimaru's response, he had no choice but to announce the suspension of the Chunin Exams to Naruto, Neji, and the other Genin candidates present.
"Uchiha... Itachi!"
However, before he could finish announcing the suspension of the exams, a sharp, explosive sound like a thousand Chidori rang out in his ears.
The next second, Uchiha Sasuke's violent figure appeared in mid-air, his left hand carrying a Lightning Release Chidori as he thrust upwards.
His target was Uchiha Itachi, who had just jumped down from the platform and hadn't yet landed firmly.
Sasuke.
"Sasuke."
Uchiha Itachi had imagined ten thousand ways to meet Sasuke again, but he never expected this one.
No, the current situation was completely out of control. Sasuke was too dangerous here.
He had to find a way to move Sasuke to a safe place.
"My foolish..."
"My dear and foolish brother, I will kill you with my own hands!"
Chidori!
Sasuke stole Uchiha Itachi's line.
Seeing his 'dear' brother appear, his eyes turned bloodshot involuntarily.
Now, the only thought in his eyes and his mind was to kill Uchiha Itachi.
"Three tomoe ... you've improved quite a bit."
While paying attention to the situation between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Rasa, Uchiha Itachi dodged Sasuke's Chidori and immediately grabbed the other's wrist.
However, just as he was about to cripple Sasuke's combat power and knock Sasuke aside, another hand suddenly appeared, pinching his arm and forcefully preventing his palm from exerting force on Sasuke's wrist.
"It's you."
Uchiha Itachi's pupils constricted.
The speed of the newcomer completely exceeded his expectations.
He clearly hadn't seen anyone else around just now...
What Ninjutsu was this guy using?
"Sasuke, you are no match for him now."
At this moment, the one who appeared in front of Uchiha Itachi and saved Uchiha Sasuke was, of course, Uchiha Kage, who had been paying attention to Sasuke.
Mikoto was still watching in the Dream Space , he couldn't let Uchiha Itachi break Sasuke's hand.
"Kage..."
Sasuke, who had escaped a disaster, quickly distanced himself from Uchiha Itachi.
Just in this second of gap, he suddenly saw the Mangekyō Sharingan pinwheel in Uchiha Itachi's eyes.
"Be careful of his eyes!"
As soon as Sasuke finished reminding him, he involuntarily lost the light in his eyes, and then suddenly fell from mid-air.
Amaterasu!
After using Tsukuyomi to trap Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi released Amaterasu at Uchiha Kage, who was grabbing his arm.
But Uchiha Kage disappeared from his eyes again at an extremely fast speed.
The next second, Uchiha Itachi saw Uchiha Kage on the ground below, who had caught the falling Sasuke.
"Body Flicker Technique? No, no, this speed is too unusual..."
Although he was surprised by Uchiha Kage's speed, Uchiha Itachi finally relaxed a little after seeing Sasuke being caught.
No longer paying attention to the bottom, Uchiha Itachi looked again at the battle formation of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Rasa.
However, without him noticing, a Flying Thunder God Technique mark had already appeared on his arm hidden in his clothes.
----
"Ah!!!"
Sasuke, who had been flooded with a large amount of visions of the massacre by Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi Illusionary Technique , finally fainted after a scream.
And although he had already planted a mark on Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Kage didn't intend to intervene in the battle over there so quickly.
"Naruto, I'll leave Sasuke to your care."
Casually throwing Sasuke towards Naruto, Uchiha Kage began to scan his surroundings again.
The disorderly crowd of spectators had begun to evacuate in an orderly manner with the help of Konoha Anbu ninja and several Jonin.
But they soon fought with Sunagakure and Otogakure ninja who didn't know where they came from.
For a time, the entire large open-air Exam Hall of the Chunin Exams was in utter chaos.
"It's really turned into a mess."
However, the more chaotic, the better.
If it continued to be this chaotic, he probably wouldn't be noticed no matter what he did later.
"Uchiha Kage!"
Gaara, who had been staring at Uchiha Kage, let out the same roar as Sasuke before.
After obtaining Maki's consent, he released part of his consciousness from his body and successfully performed a half-Tailed Beast transformation using this method.
He entered the Vessel state.
Whoosh!
Gaara, whose half body had transformed into the One-Tail Shukaku's body, stretched out Shukaku's giant claws and grabbed at Uchiha Kage not far away.
"Careful!"
Naruto, who had just taken over Sasuke's body, was surprised and reminded him when he saw this scene.
For some reason, after seeing Gaara in this state, he had a kind of inexplicable disgust.
Power surged out of his body inexplicably.
Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
However, before Naruto could remind him, or even before Uchiha Kage could take action himself, a suddenly appearing dragon-shaped water flow helped him block the Vessel Gaara's arm attack.
"Gaara!"
Seeing Gaara being knocked away by the Water Dragon, Maki, the Sunagakure Jonin who was the team leader, also joined the battle.
"Acting Mizukage of Kirigakure, are you going to interfere in the fight between Sunagakure and Konoha?"
Taking out a kunai , Maki looked warily at the blue-clad female ninja who appeared in front of Uchiha Kage.
"Brat, I don't have time to care about you Sunagakure, scram!"
After helping to block Gaara's attack, Terumi Mei hurriedly walked excitedly to Uchiha Kage.
"Kage, your Hokage has gone mad! Come to Kirigakure with me!"
Although there were unexpected situations, Terumi Mei felt that this was not necessarily a bad thing.
For example, she now had a sufficient excuse to take Uchiha Kage away.
"Terumi Mei-sama, the situation is unclear now, let's leave here as soon as possible..."
Ao, who was following Terumi Mei, thought she was going to do something big, but she just wanted to come back and trick this teenager back to Kirigakure.

This was too...
Ao was already too tired to complain.
"Shut up!"
Terumi Mei scolded the guard behind her without turning her head, and then continued to wait excitedly and expectantly for Uchiha Kage's reply.
"Kage, come with me. Konoha is about to fall into a quagmire of war."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have other tasks, so I won't be going to Kirigakure."
Uchiha Kage was quite touched by Terumi Mei's behavior of thinking about him in such a chaotic situation.
But that was all.
As an evil Uchiha, how could he be interfered with his own Paradise plan by a little wife from another village.
"Naruto, Neji... prepare to capture the One-Tail Jinchuriki from Sunagakure."
