"Kakashi! What's that?"
Descending rapidly and searching for his student and the Sunagakure enemies, Might Guy suddenly spotted swathes of collapsing Sunagakure Ninja.
And a blade flash so fast that even he couldn't see it clearly.
"It's the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Kakashi, who had also seen this scene, widened his Sharingan eyes in disbelief.
"He learned it in just three days... is this what a true genius is?"
With the dynamic vision of his Sharingan, Kakashi could barely make out Uchiha Kage's figure.
However, why was there Lightning Release emanating from that Uchiha youth?
"No... he learned a ninjutsu in just three days that's supposedly impossible for anyone but the Fourth Hokage to master?"
Might Guy also clearly saw Uchiha Kage holding his long sword after the dust settled.
Because of the extreme speed, the blade in his hand wasn't stained with a single drop of blood.
And the corpses lying on the ground had already piled up into a mountain.
"This is exactly like the Yellow Flash back then..."
An elderly Konoha Ninja couldn't help but get lost in memories of the past at this sight.
----
"This... could it be the legendary Flying Thunder God Technique?"
Terumi Mei, watching the Uchiha youth disappear and reappear amidst the Sunagakure Ninja corpses strewn everywhere, was so shocked she could barely breathe.
This speed of killing was too exaggerated.
No matter how wide she opened her eyes, she couldn't see his movements.
She could only infer that the fallen ninjas had died from a blade, but she couldn't be certain.
"Don't go around asking about other people's ninjutsu, Acting Mizukage of Kirigakure."
Before Uchiha Kage, who was sheathing his sword, could respond, Yuhi Kurenai, who had rushed over, snapped at Terumi Mei.
"You..."
Terumi Mei was about to get closer and ask, but she saw the red-eyed Female Ninja blocking her path.
What a persistent nuisance...
She cursed inwardly.
"Teacher, I'll leave Kirigakure's Esteemed Guest to your care. I have other tasks."
The ninja sword Uzuki Yugao gave him was so sharp, it didn't even draw blood when it killed.
It was obviously worth a fortune.
Uchiha Kage was quite fond of it.
Of course, he was also quite satisfied with the speed he had displayed using Lightning Release Chakra Mode combined with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
There was no doubt that he was now the fastest in the Ninja World... cough.
Better not think about that title.
"Tasks..."
Yuhi Kurenai wanted to follow Uchiha Kage, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
She had no choice but to turn her gaze back to Terumi Mei and the others.
"Hey, don't run around. Come with me to the Evacuation Site; it's not safe here."
"Me, a Mizukage, needing to evacuate? You should worry about yourselves. So many Sunagakure Ninja appearing here means they definitely came prepared..."
From the earlier conflicting statements of the Kazekage and the Hokage, to the large-scale appearance of Sunagakure Ninja, Terumi Mei had more or less figured things out.
Today's events were definitely premeditated.
But now, who would win and who would lose?
Konoha winning didn't seem like a good thing, but Konoha losing... seemed even worse...
Terumi Mei felt a headache coming on as she thought about these things.
But... it would be best if they both suffered heavy losses.
Terumi Mei looked at the battle formation above, wishing that Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Kazekage, Orochimaru, and all those people would die.
"Just an Acting Mizukage."
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
Yuhi Kurenai also looked at the battle formation above with some concern.
Uchiha Itachi... Orochimaru... they had both appeared in the Village.
What was the Third Hokage thinking?
"I'll be the Mizukage sooner or later. You, on the other hand, as a teacher, can't even control your own Disciple, and you even harbor ulterior motives towards him. How shameless."
"I..."
What ulterior motives? She and Uchiha Kage clearly had a normal teacher-student relationship, just a little more intimate. Was that against the law?
"Hmph, you're the one who's embarrassing. As Kirigakure's representative, you've been pestering a boy who's ten years younger than you time and time again."
"You..."
Terumi Mei couldn't find a good retort for a moment.
"And you've clearly been rejected, yet you still want to cling to him."
Yuhi Kurenai had been paying attention to this situation for a while. Seeing Uchiha Kage completely unmoved by Terumi Mei's advances, she couldn't have been happier.
She knew that this vixen from another Village could never win over her wooden-headed Disciple.
"What rejected? I was just... just postponed! Sooner or later, I will definitely bring him back to Kirigakure!"
"Impossible! As long as I'm here, you'll never succeed!"
----
"Hurry..."
He didn't expect Konoha Village to be hiding such experts...
While Maki instructed Temari and Kankuro to quickly take Gaara away from the battlefield, putting distance between them and the Konoha pursuers, he continued to urge Gaara to release Shukaku.
If this invasion plan failed, Sunagakure would find it difficult to recover.
Now, their only option was to desperately fight, releasing Shukaku to deal with that bizarre youth with extreme speed.
"Don't think you can escape!"
Naruto hadn't expected to break through so many Sunagakure Ninja so easily.
But when he thought about how Uchiha Kage had done it, he wasn't that surprised.
That guy had even... in the last instance... with the Nine Tails.
Shaking his head, Naruto felt irritated whenever he thought about the last Instance.
So, to shake off that feeling, he began to chase after Gaara and the others with all his might.
"Wait, Naruto, that's too reckless! They still have a Jonin..."
Neji, watching Naruto charging ahead, quickly reminded him.
However, that Deadlast's speed wasn't any slower than his own when he was going all out...
"What about a Jonin? I'm going to be Hokage!"
Naruto wouldn't listen to Neji's advice, and instead ran even faster.
"Hmph, only you Genin came, that guy didn't follow?"
Maki was relieved to see that only a few Konoha Genin were pursuing them, and the Uchiha youth was nowhere to be seen, so he finally stopped running.
Gaara probably needed a little more time, and he absolutely couldn't let these Konoha Ninja pass.
Even if that strange youth came, Maki would buy time today.
Wind Release: Typhoon Passing!
Quickly forming Hand Seals, Maki summoned a huge whirlwind in front of him.
The hurricane quickly flattened the forest before him.
And Naruto, who was caught in it, was sent flying along with the broken trees.
Heavenly Spin!
Watching the tree trunks flying towards him, Neji quickly used Heavenly Spin to block the obstacles, and then gently caught Naruto, who almost crashed into him, with Gentle Fist.
"Thanks..."
Having just spoken grandly, only to be sent flying instantly, Naruto felt somewhat embarrassed.
"That guy is Sunagakure's Elite Jonin. We have to cooperate to have a chance of defeating him."
After putting Naruto down, Neji looked behind him. Lee, carrying Sasuke, clearly couldn't join the battle.
And Uchiha Kage, who had cleared the way for them, seemed to have disappeared.
It seemed that only he and Naruto could find a way to deal with this Sunagakure Jonin.
"I know this. In the Land of Waves, Sasuke and I fought against a Jonin enemy, Zabuza."
The reinvigorated Naruto remembered Zabuza, whom he had encountered in the Land of Waves.
And even Killer Bee, the Raikage, and others he had met in the Instance mission.
However, he had been badly defeated in the Instance back then.
"Hmph, what boastful Little Kids, I'm a Wind Release ninja, and I'm not the same as ordinary Jonin!"
Although Maki felt that bullying a few Konoha Genin was beneath him, this was now a war. Even the weakest opponents would be mercilessly killed!
----
"Hokage-sama..."
Uchiha Itachi didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to endorse him in front of so many Konoha Ninja, and even almost revealed the secrets of the Uchiha clan's destruction back then.
"It's best not to let everyone in the Village know about what happened back then."
Although he was grateful for Sarutobi Hiruzen's trust, Uchiha Itachi had his own convictions.
He didn't want Konoha to be burdened with infamy because of him.
He could bear the sin of destroying the clan alone.
Moreover, if Sasuke learned the truth ahead of time, then the Konoha hero development plan he had arranged for Sasuke would be ruined.
"I think this matter will be announced sooner or later. This Old Man doesn't want to see you continue to be misunderstood by everyone."
Perhaps he could use Uchiha Itachi's situation to shift the internal contradictions in the Village later...
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that if he launched a counterattack against Sunagakure in the current situation, there would definitely be some voices in the Village opposing him.
In order to eliminate those voices, shifting the conflict and shifting the focus of the public would be a good method.
Therefore, even knowing that Uchiha Itachi was right to continue hiding the truth, Sarutobi Hiruzen still intended to do so.
"Third Hokage..."
Uchiha Itachi didn't know what to say.
But he couldn't help but have more fantasies. If Sarutobi Hiruzen really intended to clear his name in Konoha, then...
Perhaps he would still have a chance to be with Sasuke.
"How touching. The traitor of Konoha, the sinner of the Uchiha, actually appreciates Sarutobi-sensei so much. What an eye-opener."
Orochimaru found the combination of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Itachi strange no matter how he looked at it.
But...
Ninjutsu: Four Violet Flames Formation!
While Uchiha Itachi and Sarutobi Hiruzen were "gazing deeply" at each other, Orochimaru took the opportunity to instruct his subordinates to deploy the prepared barrier around them.
Konoha had a large population, so to avoid unnecessary disturbances, Orochimaru decided to set up the barrier according to the original plan.
With this barrier, even Jiraiya would be blocked for a while when he came.
"However, I didn't expect that sensei and I had the same idea, neither of us wanted others to disturb this duel."
Orochimaru realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen had also intentionally sent Kakashi and the others away earlier.
"I suppose that for you, keeping those wastes here would only be a burden, right?"
"I didn't think that way."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared intently at Orochimaru before him, and Rasa, who was reincarnated by Impure World Reincarnation, standing beside Orochimaru.
In terms of the effect of the Forbidden Technique Impure World Reincarnation, the summoned dead couldn't possibly possess most of their strength from when they were alive.
The Second Hokage Senju Tobirama had used the Forbidden Technique Impure World Reincarnation a long time ago for wars against other Villages, but unfortunately, it could only play a disturbing role, and its effect on real enemies was limited.
And using this ninjutsu would also be condemned and criticized by the entire Ninja World.
In the end, it wasn't worth the loss.
But the previous Impure World Rasa could summon the Iron Sand from underground at such a high distance from the ground...
This was obviously extraordinary.
Orochimaru, this guy, had improved the super-standard Forbidden Technique Impure World Reincarnation?
"You, Orochimaru, even risked killing the Fourth Kazekage to retaliate against Konoha, to assassinate this Old Man, what exactly for?"
"What for?"
Hearing this question, Orochimaru couldn't help but chuckle.
"Maybe... I just want to simply send you, this old, immortal guy, down there, and then destroy your most beloved Konoha. Is that answer enough?"
"Still angry about not recommending you back then?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen had long sensed Orochimaru's thoughts.
But unfortunately, things had already happened, and Namikaze Minato was indeed more suitable back then.
"Yes, yes, yes, and I'm still resentful that sensei drove me out of Konoha like a stray dog. Are you satisfied with that answer, sensei?"
Orochimaru mocked Sarutobi Hiruzen before him in a tone of coaxing a child.
"I'm no longer interested in remembering such old things from many years ago, sensei. Don't still treat me as the Little Kid who would only follow behind you."
"Is that so?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well that his Disciple was duplicitous.
"However, you are indeed the kind of guy who can act without needing hatred, or purpose, or motivation."
But in order to give Orochimaru a good way out, Sarutobi Hiruzen followed his words.
"So, sensei is now planning to beg for mercy from me, or use that traitor over there to deal with me?"
After noticing that Uchiha Itachi's eyes had turned into scarlet Sharingan, Orochimaru had been keeping the Hand Seals at the ready.
He had tripped over the Mangekyo Sharingan several times, so he had to be careful.
"Orochimaru, you seemed to have known long ago that I would ask Itachi to deal with you today?"
"Didn't sensei also know that I would attack you today? Even three days ago, you deliberately 'agreed' on a time with me, which is just what you wanted, right?"
Not only did Sarutobi Hiruzen want to know where Orochimaru had gotten the information, Orochimaru also wanted to know where his plan had leaked.
He had actually made Sarutobi Hiruzen aware of his plan in advance.
He had even prepared Uchiha Itachi, this great weapon, especially for him.
"Orochimaru, you are as clever and perceptive as ever..."
It seemed that Orochimaru wouldn't say any useful information just by talking.
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew his Disciple's nature well.
The only way to convince Orochimaru, apart from that matter, was to first defeat him.
"If possible, I really want to go back to the beginning and educate you a little better."
"There's no need. I'm very, very satisfied with the current me."
Orochimaru tore off the human skin mask on his face with a ripping sound, and then revealed an unusually young woman's face.
"Could... could it be that not only Impure World Reincarnation, but even the Forbidden Technique that the Second Hokage didn't complete, Living Corpse Reincarnation, you've learned it!?"
Seeing Orochimaru's young, woman's face, Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked beyond words.
"Hehehehe... that's right, I have now obtained Eternal Life, as long as I change bodies every once in a while."
After revealing his true colors, Orochimaru's voice became feminine.
"Although the body will be changed frequently, my spirit will never die... are you envious? My sensei, with a face full of old wrinkles, who looks like he's about to be buried!"
Magnet Release: Iron Sand Grand Burial!
While defending against Uchiha Itachi, Orochimaru continued to control Impure World Rasa to attack Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Seizing other people's bodies to make yourself live forever, Orochimaru, you have indeed embarked on this evil path!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen righteously criticized Orochimaru before him.
"This inhuman appearance is definitely not Eternal Life..."
Earth Release: Earth Flow River!
Watching the Iron Sand tidal wave sweeping in, Sarutobi Hiruzen also quickly used his signature ninjutsu.
For a time, gray mud and golden Iron Sand collided violently, forming a black torrent that quickly dissipated into the surroundings, canceling each other out.
But just as the torrent had calmed down, several spears made of Iron Sand suddenly flew out of the black mud and stabbed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was still forming Hand Seals.
"Hokage-sama!"
Uchiha Itachi quickly used his Water Release: Water Fang Bullet Technique to help Sarutobi Hiruzen block the golden Iron Sand spears.
"You're old after all, Sarutobi-sensei. You wouldn't have let those Iron Sand suppress you before."
Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had almost been ambushed by Rasa, Orochimaru couldn't help but start mocking him again.
"The strength reincarnated by Impure World Reincarnation is almost the same as when he was alive! How did you do it, Orochimaru!?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen had indeed misjudged the strength of Impure World Rasa earlier.
But with that, he began to have more interest in Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation.
This improved Forbidden Technique might really be used for... war now.
"Heh, this is also what I recently discovered. Speaking of which... I can develop Impure World Reincarnation to this point, thanks to you, sensei."
"What are you talking about?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was confused by Orochimaru's words.
"Thanks to you for bringing Uchiha Itachi, thanks to the Masked Man who appeared in the Chunin Exams you held, I learned the weaknesses of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and I gradually discovered the places where this technique could be improved."
Originally, it was just to strengthen the control over the ninjas reincarnated by Impure World Reincarnation that Hashirama Senju, First Hokage's cells, were added to the corpse, but Orochimaru got an unexpected surprise--
The more Hashirama cells added, the stronger the restraint would be, and the closer the strength of the summoned dead would be to the dead when they were alive.
"And even thanks to you, I found Uchiha Shisui's corpse, the most genius Illusionary Technique master of the Uchiha clan, whom I had never found!"
A crazy and happy expression appeared on Orochimaru's face, and then he bit his finger fiercely and slapped it on the ground.
Summoning Technique!
In an instant, one, two, three, three white wooden coffins slowly rose from the Summoning Technique's Summoning Formation.
"Stop him quickly!"
After hearing Uchiha Shisui's name, not only Sarutobi Hiruzen, but even Uchiha Itachi, who had a deadpan expression all year round, had a few flustered expressions on his face.
