I rely on myself

Chapter 739 Konoha Collapse Plan

The battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru began again, and as an outsider, Lin Yuan was refused to intervene, so he naturally seemed a little bored.

It would be a waste of time to continue staying here. It would be better to say that he had no intention of staying to help from the beginning. It was just that Orochimaru forced him to be involved for the information of the Eye of God.

Although he wanted to avenge his nemesis, he was not someone who could not read the atmosphere. Moreover, his idea of ​​helping was rejected by the Third Hokage. If he still intervened forcefully, it would seem that he was not trustworthy and it would give people the impression that he was biased towards Konoha. Therefore, Lin Yuan would naturally not meddle in other people's business and prepared to leave.

Looking at the surrounding barriers, although it is not impossible to break the Four Purple Flame Formation and join the two guards outside if violence is used, doing so will also disrupt the battle between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru.

After all, those Konoha ninjas who were blocked outside by the barrier would be fine if they had no other options, but if they could take action and still watched their Hokage fight the enemy without helping, even if the Hokage himself said so, they would not be able to escape the subsequent reckoning.

After all, this is their responsibility. Strictly speaking, those Konoha ninjas and Anbu who were blocked by the barrier could be considered dereliction of duty. After all, it was their responsibility to protect the Hokage, and being stopped due to lack of ability could also be considered dereliction of duty.

Back to the topic, even if the barrier cannot be broken by force, there are still ways for Lin Yuan to reunite with the two guards outside, such as the art of psychic communication.

After receiving the eye contact from Lin Yuan, the guard of the Uchiha clan member immediately remembered and took action immediately. He quickly formed seals with his hands and pressed them on the ground.

"Psychic art!"

Along with a burst of smoke, Lin Yuan, who was originally in the Four Purple Flame Formation, was summoned out.

Seeing that Lin Yuan had not suffered any injuries except that his coat had been taken off, the Uchiha guard bowed his head with a look of shame and confessed to Lin Yuan: "I am very sorry, Lord Lin Yuan. As a guard, it is my dereliction of duty to let the enemy fight alone. Please punish me!"

Looking at the Uchiha guard who bowed his head and admitted his mistake, Lin Yuan's face was somewhat speechless. Perhaps it was because Lin Yuan had extended a helping hand to the Uchiha clan and helped them escape the fate of genocide on the night of the genocide, so the entire Uchiha clan was very loyal to Lin Yuan, and there were many members of the same clan as this Uchiha guard.

Although this will help the Uchiha clan integrate into the Snow Country, Lin Yuan personally hopes that they won't be so extreme over such trivial matters.

"Okay, don't talk about punishment. It was me who asked you not to take action. As for dereliction of duty, they were the former Hokage. Not to mention you, even I didn't react at the time, so forget it, get up quickly."

"…Thank you for your tolerance!"

Although he was a little hesitant, the Uchiha guard finally stood up again. He didn't give up so quickly, but the current situation was not suitable.

Looking at the Uchiha guard who stood up again, Lin Yuan nodded secretly, then turned to the other guard who seemed a little silent and asked: "How are Jie and the others? Have they left Konoha?"

"Yes, as early as when the turmoil just started, Jie and his men realized and retreated to the outside of Konoha Village, and I also received news that Jie and his men successfully left Konoha, so please don't worry."

Knowing that the two teams sent to participate in the Chunin Exam had retreated safely, Lin Yuan nodded and spoke directly to the cautious Konoha Anbu beside him. "After all, what follows is your village's private matter, so as an outsider, it is not appropriate for me to stay any longer. So I'm sorry, please apologize to the Hokage on my behalf and forgive us for leaving without saying goodbye."

"…Don't worry, I will pass the message to Hokage-sama."

Perhaps they did not expect to encounter such a situation. The Anbu of Konoha looked at each other and hesitated. Finally, a man who seemed to be the leader responded. Lin Yuan did not care about it. It was just a polite remark anyway. It didn't matter if it could be conveyed or not.

After giving the instructions, Lin Yuan did not stay any longer and left directly with the two guards without hiding.

Watching the figures of Lin Yuan and the other three gradually going away, an Anbu suddenly stepped forward and suggested to the leader who replied: "Captain, these three are very strong, do you want to..."

"Don't do anything stupid, idiot!!"

Before the Anbu could finish his words, the leader suddenly interrupted him loudly and looked at his subordinate with an extremely serious look.

"I know what you mean, but we can't afford such a risk. The opponent is too strong. Even the two previous Hokage are not his opponents. Do you have confidence?"

There is no need to talk about other benefits or risks. To be more direct, the biggest question is whether it can be done.

"Uh……"

This naturally went without saying. The Anbu who had made the suggestion instantly realized how naive his idea was and was speechless.

Seeing his subordinates lowering their heads, the leader said nothing more and turned his gaze back to the barrier. But who knew whether he was tempted by this proposal?
The departure of Lin Yuan and others did not have much impact on this sudden war. After all, it had nothing to do with them, so naturally their departure would not cause any impact.

As time went by, the turmoil began to become clearer.

Perhaps because they were caught off guard at the beginning, Konoha's guard troops fell into a disadvantage, and even the wall was broken through by the large summoned beasts driven by the Sound Ninja and the Sand Ninja. A large number of Sound Ninja and Sand Ninja took the opportunity to enter the Konoha village and cause destruction. However, as the civilians were evacuated and the various ninja clans in Konoha began to exert their strength, the situation was reversed.

Most of the invading Sound and Sand Ninjas were killed directly. At the same time, Jiraiya, one of the Three Great Ninjas, took immediate action and suppressed those large summoning snakes, which stabilized the morale of the army and cut off the enemy's support.

At the same time, the Sand Ninja also discovered that their own Kazekage was actually Orochimaru in disguise. Realizing something, they immediately surrendered. Only the Sound Ninja were still struggling, but the outcome was already decided.

At the same time, Naruto and his friends were tracking Gaara, Temari and Kankuro all the way. After a desperate fight, they finally defeated Gaara, who had used the sleeping technique to temporarily release Shukaku, and successfully avoided the possibility of Konoha being destroyed by the tailed beasts again.
