Chapter 39 The Konoha Collapse Plan is officially launched!
Today is the final stage of the Chunin Exams.
The Third Hokage got up early and came to the Hokage's office.
He has now arranged the inspection range of ANBU ninjas, and has also warned ninjas like Asuma, Gai and other ninjas, implying that something big will happen in today's chuunin exam, and asking them to be vigilant around them.
Faced with the hint from the Third Hokage, Asuma and the others did not say anything more, but nodded solemnly, indicating that they understood.
Originally, the Third Hokage wanted to arrange for Danzo, an old friend.
But seeing that he didn't come to the Hokage's office, he gave up the idea.
The Third Hokage felt that if a fight broke out soon, Danzo would not sit idly by.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the Third Hokage, who had made all the arrangements, came to the Konoha viewing platform with several other guards including Namashi Rai.
After waiting here for a short while, he saw the Fourth Kazekage disguised as Orochimaru.
"Hokage-dono is so old, but your health is still so good."
"Haha, Your Excellency Kazekage has given you the award."
With the Third Hokage looking complicated, the two greeted each other and then sat down, one on the left and the other on the right.
The location here is very good, with a panoramic view of the playing field below.
"The first match will be between Uzumaki Naruto and Hinata Neji."
Orochimaru seemed very interested in the first game.
He did not forget that when he was in the Death Forest, Uzumaki Naruto burst out the Nine-Tails Chakra in an attempt to save Uchiha Sasuke from him.
It's a pity that there are no eggs.
With the Nine-Tailed Chakra Coat without even a tail showing, Orochimaru just moved his fingers slightly and used the Five Elements Seal to defeat the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Naruto Uzumaki.
There is strength, but not much.
But it was Hyuga Neji, Orochimaru knew that he was a rare genius in the Hyuga family.
It's just a pity that he is a member of a separate family and has the limitations of a caged bird, so he cannot be a container for him to turn around.
Otherwise, in the forest of death, no matter what, he would be shot.
"What a great fight."
Soon, the battle between Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Neji ended with Naruto bursting out with Nine-Tails Chakra, deceiving the opponent with a shadow clone, and defeating Neji with a friendly face-breaking fist.
"Yes, Naruto and Neji are very good kids. Looking at them reminds me of my three ineffective students."
"The Hokage thinks these two children are comparable to the famous Sannin?"
The Third Hokage chuckled, looked at the Fourth Kazekage and said, "Whether we can compare or not depends on the future development of these little guys."
"Haha, then I'll wait and see."
"The second match will be between Uchiha Sasuke and Gaara. Please compete as soon as possible."
In the competition field below, Genma Shiranui, as the referee, is calling the players for the second game to come up.
But at this time, Uchiha Sasuke and Kakashi were still on their way.
After Shiranui Genma urged him several times but failed to see Sasuke, when he was about to announce that Sasuke would give up and admit defeat, the Fourth Kazekage spoke.
"Why don't we let the ones behind us compete first? There's no rush anyway."
"Okay, I'll follow what Mr. Fengying said."
After receiving instructions from the top management, Shiranui Genma skipped the second game and started the third game.
Unfortunately, Kankuro of Sunagakure Village chose to abstain in order to preserve his strength.
Then the fourth game will be played.
If Uchiha Sasuke hadn't arrived at the scene after the game, then Genma would have no choice but to announce that he had given up.
Fortunately, Nara Shikamaru bought enough time in the match against Temari.
At the end of the fourth game, Uchiha Sasuke had just caught up.
"We're not late, are we?"
Seeing Kakashi and Sasuke appear, Genma breathed a sigh of relief and drove Kakashi out, leaving the competition stage to Sasuke and Gaara.
This match was very intense. Sasuke cosplayed Xiao Li's moves, leaving Gaara confused.
The audience on the sidelines was very excited and cheered loudly for the two people on the court.
At this time, on the viewing platform, the Fourth Kazekage looked at the Third Hokage with some confusion, and asked: "Hokage-dono, you seem to have been looking at the time?"
"yes."
The Third Hokage did not deny that he was indeed looking at the time and seemed a little anxious.
"Is there something important?"
"This is indeed very important."
As for what it was, the Third Hokage didn't say anything.
The Fourth Kazekage was also very sensible and did not ask.
"In that case, then"
The Fourth Kazekage originally wanted the Third Hokage to go and do his own business first, but before he could finish speaking, a Konoha ninja wearing a mask suddenly appeared between him and the Third Hokage.
"Um?"
The sudden scene not only stunned the Third Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage, but also the young version of Danzo who was teleported was confused.
Fortunately, the quality of the three of them is very good, and they only reacted in an instant.
"Damn monkey, you are still so grinding when doing things."
As soon as Danzo spoke, the Third Hokage knew who the person who suddenly appeared was.
He smashed the pipe in his mouth and replied: "I don't want to reduce the losses of some villages."
That's right, the reason why the Third Hokage is still here to play with Orochimaru is because he wants Orochimaru to activate the Four Purple Flame Formation and then cover himself and him in it?
As a result, without the top combat power of Orochimaru, the rest of the Sound Ninja and Sand Ninja were all a bunch of scum in the eyes of the Third Hokage.
The picture on the light screen is displayed very clearly.
In this battle, except that he and Orochimaru (hands) died together, it can be said that the losses to the entire Konoha Village were not great.
If Orochimaru's movements cannot be restricted and he is allowed to roam around the village, the damage to the village will be very great.
"You're right."
Danzo thought for a moment and felt that the Third Hokage was right, but he did not choose to shut up, but continued: "Then what do you think we should do now?"
"How about we just pretend that nothing happened? Let nature take its course?"
"Okay, just pretend nothing happened."
Hearing this, the Fourth Kazekage couldn't help but interjected and asked: "Hokage-dono, what are you two talking about?"
Obviously, he was confused by the conversation between the two.
The Fourth Hokage couldn't understand what the Third Hokage was saying about working hard and reducing the village's losses.
He just vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"It's okay, let's continue"
The Third Hokage smiled and began to smooth things over.
However, Danzo still resented the fact that the Third Hokage did not let him here become the Fourth Hokage, so he immediately interrupted his speech without giving any face, pointed at the Fourth Hokage and said sternly.
"What happened to you has happened, Orochimaru, let's just catch him without mercy."
Hearing this, Orochimaru's pupils shrank and he didn't understand why his identity was exposed.
He had used the art of facial erasure to put the face of the Fourth Kazekage on his own. Logically speaking, no one would notice that he was a fake.
Fortunately, Orochimaru was also decisive. The moment his identity was revealed, he sent a secret signal to Kabuto, asking him to activate the genjutsu.
Just in time, Gaara off the field was injured by Uchiha Sasuke's Chidori and fell into a violent state.
That ferocious appearance was already on the verge of turning into a tailed beast.
Then, the Konoha Collapse Plan is officially launched!
