Chapter 104 Orochimaru: I did it all for Konoha! (116)
Naruto suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering: the Third Hokage was still fighting Orochimaru to the death!
A quick scan revealed—good heavens! Their chakra levels were still locked!
I've been fighting for half an hour already, which is ridiculous enough, but these two are still fighting fiercely?

Whose general is this?

Seeing Kakashi and Jiraiya still standing there questioning their existence, Naruto slapped them on the shoulder: "Teachers, there's no time to explain, get in the car!"

Whoosh!
Flying Thunder God Technique activated! The three of them vanished from their spot in an instant.

Kakashi's surroundings shifted, and he found himself on the roof of the Chunin Exams.

This is the very place where the Third Hokage and Orochimaru were locked in fierce combat!
Looking around again, the three of them were now inside the barrier!

Another Jiraiya swept across the battlefield, his gaze instantly fixing on something.

Orochimaru!!!
And the other one was the old man!
At this moment, the two fighters had just separated and were catching their breath.

Naruto, with his sharp eyes, saw that the two of them simultaneously pulled out a familiar dumpling from their ninja tool pouches and swallowed it with a "smack".

"Xiaoyao Wan?!" Naruto instantly solved the case—no wonder the two of them could fight for half an hour!
A normal ninja's high-energy battle = five minutes of true manhood
The two people in front of me are like half-hour drug-fueled warriors!
Look at myself, I held my own for half an hour using only my strength.
Let's look at these two again.
strength?

No, they rely on a "lasting buff"!

Looking at it this way, the virtuous doctor should change his advertising slogan: "Xiaoyao Pill—fight until dawn!"

With this new term emerging, it seems like people will be buying more than just ninjas!

"Orochimaru!"

Jiraiya, having gained brothers, forgot about his apprentice, instantly casting Naruto to the back of his mind. He launched himself like a cannonball and leaped to the Third Hokage's side, locking onto Orochimaru with a complex gaze.

"Ah, it's been a long time, Jiraiya."

Orochimaru maintained a friendly smile on the surface, but inwardly he was cursing.

He was deceived.

This idea had already taken root—he had tried countless times to summon spirits in the previous half hour, but the reanimated forms of the first and second Hokage had all failed to react!
As expected, those two "Jonin" were suspicious!

Who is the murderer?

He has too many enemies.

Even those he trusts cannot be excluded!

His golden eyes swept coldly over the three who had just arrived.

The lingering effects of the recent battle in the distance are still palpable; even dozens of kilometers away, one can sense the bone-chilling aura of destruction. Now, the outcome is decided: Konoha wins.

Who is the winner?

Excluding Jiraiya and Kakashi
His gaze was fixed on the only blond-haired kid: he was probably the one who won.

After all, it was this kid who took away the first and second generation.

If I remember correctly, this kid is Sasuke's teammate, a genin brat who is only twelve or thirteen years old and taking the Chunin Exams for the first time.

It was already astonishing that they could suppress the rampaging One-Tailed Shukaku.
Only now did I realize that my understanding of the word "genius" was far too shallow—like a sophisticated instrument that had misjudged the limits of a certain dimension.

The truth became clear the moment the three appeared, especially the blond-haired guy.

Without needing any further intelligence, the "Konoha Crush Plan" has now come to an irreversible end.

Even more problematic is...
I'm afraid I won't be able to escape easily from Konoha's heavy encirclement.

Even if old man Sarutobi is soft-hearted, that glaring little blond guy will never give up easily.

Faced with such an absolute disparity in power, he had absolutely no chance of survival.

"Orochimaru!"

Jiraiya's voice was filled with suppressed pain and confusion: "Did you do all of this? Why?"

He couldn't believe that all of this was Orochimaru's scheme!
Even though Orochimaru had committed so many evil deeds in the past, he couldn't believe that Orochimaru would turn into such a heartless devil after killing his own teacher!
In Jiraiya's eyes, which were filled with complex emotions, there was even a hint of humble hope.

"Ha, this fool is still so stupidly naive."

Orochimaru sneered inwardly, lamenting that this good-for-nothing hadn't improved at all over the years.

However, upon seeing this, he had an idea: perhaps this way he could survive.

When it comes to lying, he's a master at manipulating people's hearts!
He tilted his head slightly, his golden snake eyes locking onto Jiraiya, his voice deep and clear, each word as if meticulously crafted.

"Ha, why?" "Jiraiya, what do you think I did to stir up this storm, summon the dead, and challenge my teacher?"

He paused briefly, his gaze sweeping over the dilapidated roof and the chaotic examination hall below. His voice suddenly rose, taking on a somewhat boastful and impassioned tone.
"It's all for Konoha!"

"Look at Konoha now!"

"Dull, rotten, and stagnant! Like a stagnant pool, utterly devoid of vitality!"

Where have Konoha's former fangs gone? All their former sharpness has vanished!

"What is the reason for all this? It is the teacher's stupidity, compromise, and peace policy. It is these ridiculous weaknesses that have dragged Konoha into today's dead end!"

Konoha needs a baptism, a cataclysmic upheaval that can tear apart old wounds and remove the poison from the bone!

"Awakening the first and second generations, and challenging the teachers, are all for the purpose of making them see clearly, and also for making everyone see clearly!"

His gaze turned 'burning': 'Only under true disaster and suffering can new branches tear through the rotten bark!'

He stared directly into Jiraiya's eyes, a twisted "sincerity" in them: "Everything I've done is nothing more than injecting a powerful remedy into this stagnant giant tree! Tell me, Jiraiya, isn't this the deepest form of protection?"

"Pfft hahahaha——!"

Naruto, watching the show from afar, burst into unrestrained laughter.

If Snake Auntie were to respond with "You understand? Applause!", the scene would be legendary!
However, this is definitely a talented person, and perhaps I can use him!
Hey! Naruto!

Kakashi's dead fish eyes twitched wildly as he stared at Naruto, who was sitting on a small stool, legs crossed, spitting out sunflower seed shells.

"Teacher, would you like some?"

Naruto grinned and handed the bag of sunflower seeds to Kakashi.

A row of black lines appeared on Kakashi's forehead.

I wanted to remind this disciple: This is a battlefield.

But considering Naruto's current strength, he gave up.

Unlike the joy in this area, the air on the rooftops in other areas seemed to freeze, with only Orochimaru's chilling, venomous voice echoing in the background.

"What's wrong, Third Hokage?"

Orochimaru narrowed his golden snake eyes, leisurely admiring Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, which was covered with heavy wrinkles. "You have no way to refute my 'accusations'?"

As one of the legendary Sannin, the secrets he uncovered far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.

Was his previous accusations against the Third Generation leader just nonsense?
Do not!
Orochimaru truly wanted to save Konoha!

"Do you need me to tear open this rotten exterior, piece by piece, and show it to you, to the whole of Konoha?"

no respond.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's silence was as heavy as lead.

Orochimaru glanced discreetly at the white figure in the distance, deciding to drop the first bombshell.

Nine years ago.

His voice suddenly rose, "That 'shameful deal' of the Hyuga clan! Do I need to awaken everyone's memories at this moment?"

boom--

This word, like a forbidden incantation, instantly shattered the deathly silence!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's body trembled almost imperceptibly.

The Hinata family? A shameful deal?

Naruto's mind immediately went on a high alert—a huge bombshell!

Where are the sunflower seeds from earlier?

Throw it away! Not enough!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone—no, unnoticed by anyone—Naruto swiftly and unexpectedly pulled a watermelon the size of a washbasin from his ninja tool pouch!
With a sharp "snap," the palm of his hand cleaved open like a knife!

With a "slurp," he picked up a large piece of bright red melon pulp, and like a professional melon eater, his eyes fixed intently on Orochimaru, his face full of...
Please elaborate!
