I rely on myself

Chapter 730 Konoha Collapse Plan
Although he was held hostage, the Third Hokage showed no fear on his face, only calmness. He even asked the Fourth Kazekage behind him, "What does this mean? Mr. Kazekage, can I understand that you, the Sand Village, are going to betray the alliance with our Konoha and start a war?"

"So when we met before, didn't I remind you, Hokage, that you should find a successor in advance? This place seems a little cramped, so I'd like to trouble you, Hokage, to move a little. And Lord Lin Yuan, please also come with us."

"You guy, are you kidding me?"

Without waiting for Lin Yuan to speak, the Uchiha clan member among the two guards behind him spoke first. Unfortunately, he was obviously ignored by the Fourth Kazekage, who didn't even seem to pay any attention to his words and just spoke directly to Lin Yuan.

"In order to prevent you from being rejected, Lord Lin Yuan, I used some rough methods. Please forgive me."

"!!!"x3
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures, all covered in cloaks, suddenly jumped out from somewhere. Their speed was so fast that even Lin Yuan couldn't see clearly, as if they had teleported.

One of the figures stepped forward first and grabbed Lin Yuan with both hands. Lin Yuan only felt an astonishing strange force coming from the other party's hands. For a moment, he really had no way to break free.

At the same time, another figure was naturally not far behind. He took out a ninja sword and stabbed it directly into Lin Yuan's chest with both hands. The force was so great that he even forced Lin Yuan himself up.

The three of them kept hugging each other and rushed straight up. The Fourth Kazekage, who was watching this scene, did not slow down much and directly took the Third Hokage hostage and went to the roof as well.

At this time, Lin Yuan's two guards and other Konoha ninjas also reacted immediately and hurried to the roof, but it was too late.

After all, this kind of situation where there would be support had already been anticipated, and the two guards brought by the Fourth Kazekage followed even faster. Before others arrived, the two guards' cloaks were instantly thrown away, and four figures came out, going to different directions and forming seals at the same time.

"Ninja Technique·Four Purple Flame Formation!"

In an instant, a rectangular barrier with purple transparent flames quickly opened from the four corners, blocking Lin Yuan's two guards who came to support and other Konoha ninjas who came.

There was even a Konoha ninja who couldn't stop and ran into the barrier head-on, being instantly bounced away. He was also contaminated by the purple transparent flames on the barrier and was instantly burned into a charred corpse.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. They didn't dare to underestimate this barrier, but they didn't have any good solution.

"hateful!"

The two men who were Lin Yuan's guards, the one from the Uchiha clan, watched this scene. Although he was surprised at the power of the barrier, that was all. If he really wanted to break through, he could still do it. He was just about to do so, but his companion beside him stopped him.

"Do not impulse!"

"But Lord Lin Yuan is still in there, do you want me to just watch like this?"

"So I told you not to be impulsive and look carefully!"

After being persuaded by his companions, the Uchiha member noticed that Lin Yuan was gesturing to the two of them, indicating that they should hide well and he could find a way to escape.

After seeing this scene, the Uchiha member finally calmed down, and his companions around him also felt relieved. The two of them just watched the situation inside the barrier.

"Lord Kazekage, I will persuade you one last time. It is not too late to give up now. War is not a good thing for either village. It will only bring hatred and pain..."

"Hahahahahahaha..." Before the Third Hokage could finish, the Fourth Kazekage laughed, his laughter was very ironic, even giving people the illusion of pity... No! This was not an illusion, but a fact.

At this moment, the Fourth Kazekage looked at the Third Hokage with a look of strong sympathy in his eyes. While the Third Hokage felt angry, he also couldn't help feeling a sense of familiarity with this look.

"Hehe, it seems that you are really old, Mr. Sarutobi. You still haven't figured out who I am."

The voice of the Fourth Kazekage changed at this moment, becoming a young voice that the Third Hokage was very familiar with.

"!!!"

The moment he heard the voice, the Third Hokage was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and looked shocked.

"Since it's you! Orochimaru!!"

The man who took off the Kazekage hat on his head revealed his true face, and it was Orochimaru who was now speaking to his mentor with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, you finally remembered it. Long time no see, Sarutobi-sensei. But as I said before, you are really old. It's not good for you as a Hokage to be defeated so easily by me."

"Oh, really? Maybe I am really old, but I am not so easy to be conquered by you."

As he spoke, the Third Hokage began to fade, transforming into an earth clone and began to disintegrate.

Seeing this scene, Orochimaru was not disappointed. Instead, he showed a sincere smile and looked to another place, only to see that the figure of the Third Hokage had moved there at some point.

"It seems so. It seems that I underestimated you, Sarutobi-sensei. Well, this way, my efforts will not be in vain. Let's get started..."

"I said, have you forgotten something?"

At this moment, a word suddenly broke Orochimaru's immersed look. It was Lin Yuan. At this moment, he was still tied up by the two unknown enemies, but looking at his relaxed expression, it can be known that he was not unable to break free, but he just did not take action.

The reason for doing this was very simple, it was just to see the atmosphere. After all, he had already known that the Fourth Kazekage was Orochimaru in disguise.

He thought that the other party would not involve himself in the plan because of Konoha's collapse plan, but the fact was that Orochimaru did not want Lin Yuan to leave so easily, and he even arranged people to bring him into the barrier.

After just a little thought, Lin Yuan knew that Orochimaru wanted to avenge the arrow that shot him six years ago. In addition, seeing that the atmosphere between the master and disciple was just right, he was happy to watch the show. But that was all. Seeing that Orochimaru seemed to be completely immersed in the atmosphere of the master-disciple fight, he completely forgot about himself.

With no other options, Lin Yuan had to speak out to remind him.

When Orochimaru heard Lin Yuan's words, he turned around as if he had just remembered Lin Yuan and said, "Oh, by the way, I'm really sorry. It's been a long time since I met Sarutobi-sensei again, so I forgot about your existence, Lin Yuan. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
