I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

From this point on, we are strangers.

Was it because I didn't stand firmly by his side when he needed help the most?

That person had given me warmth during my loneliest and most desolate time.

In an instant, feelings of depression, guilt, self-blame, and many other emotions fermented in her heart.

Little Nine-Tailed Fox slowly curled her palm into a fist.

Next time, the next time we meet, I'll apologize.

However, just as he was silently making up his mind, a familiar aura, accompanied by a shadowy figure, came to him.

Looking up, I saw an elderly man with white hair wearing a highly symbolic hat.

In an instant, a multitude of emotions surged up from the depths of Naruto's heart; he had so much to say.

But as their eyes met, the former spoke:

"Naruto Uzumaki, if you can advance from this second trial..."

"As a reward, come to me and I will tell you something about your father and mother."

Little Nine-Tailed Fox felt that the former's tone was unusually serious and earnest, completely different from his usual amiable manner.

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced casually at Kakashi's location before continuing.

"This is the secret and promise between you and me."

"You should know that not everyone is willing to tell you about their past."

"I will only tell you this if you can pass the first two Chunin Exams and prove that you have become a qualified ninja."

Before the former could say anything, the Third Hokage had already turned to the side and added succinctly:

"Then, I look forward to your performance."

"Uzumaki Naruto."

.........

.........

That night, the stars hung low in the sky, and the Uchiha clan's territory was quiet and peaceful.

Several kittens with small golden bells tied around their necks sat quietly on the eaves of the abandoned dwelling, while he quietly deciphered the messages from the other cats.

First, Hozuki Mangetsu, Ringo Ameyuri, and others have successfully infiltrated Kikyo Castle, which is relatively close to Konoha, and have apparently discovered ninjas who do not belong to Konoha.

Secondly, most of the Konoha garrison on the eastern front of the Land of Fire was redeployed to the Land of Hot Springs and the Land of Water, leaving a certain gap on the Land of Rice Fields front.

Thirdly, due to the long-term closure of the Land of Lightning and the lack of knowledge about the situation, some nobles in the Land of Frost began to curry favor with the Lightning Sphere.

Article 4: The first batch of chakra armor, hastily produced by the Land of Snow and the Four Celestial Elephants, has arrived at the port of the Land of Hot Springs. Although there are only twenty pieces, they are enough to greatly increase the strength of ninjas wearing this type of armor.

Article 5: The Hidden Star Village has received the order and is willing to comply with the arrangements.

Article Six: Cat Demon's underlings have already infiltrated a large number of towns on the border of Konoha. They will be able to detect any Konoha garrison movements or deployments immediately.

.........

Article 10: The Akatsuki organization has launched a general offensive, and we hope that Lord Ara can fulfill his previous promises.

Chapter 489 Orochimaru's Night Visit.

[Has Hanzo already reached his limit?]

Wisps of smoke rose from his fingertips, and the notes carrying his messages turned to ashes.

Fortunately, thanks to the exposure of their strength today, their team was excluded from the second trial.

Otherwise, under the relentless pursuit of Pain and Konan, that elderly demigod from the old era would likely not have lasted more than five days.

Even though he had already told Hanzo and Pain the secret beforehand.

However, before heading to the Land of Rain during this break...

Watching the little tabby beside me wolf down the dried fish first, its face full of longing yet trying hard to hold back from making a sound.

Huang's lips curled up slightly, a strange sense of relaxation and comfort welling up inside him.

"The greedy little guy."

As he muttered to himself, he picked up a pen and wrote a short message on a piece of white paper, then tucked it into a small golden bell and tied it around the little tabby's neck.

"Then I'll leave it to you. After you finish eating, please pass the message on to Grandma Cat."

After patting the little guy's head, he offered him another tempting dried fish.

This is an extra bonus.

"Meow."

The little tabby cat, looking pleased and satisfied, couldn't help but let out a soft call upon seeing the new dried fish. It seemed to respond as if it were a spiritual response, and then pressed the fish under its paws and began to devour it.

You know I've been waiting for you.

So, how long are you going to keep running away?

【Itachi.】

Huang stood up and looked towards the direction of the Land of Rain.

As for the content written on the note, it was that Granny Cat had spread the message that she had broken Sasuke's hand bones in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi without being punished.

He wanted to make it clear to that guy who had escaped that the Third Hokage's promise was useless and could not possibly protect Sasuke!

Even if Ara is unwilling to take that kid's life directly due to certain will, it is not impossible for him to take Sasuke's eyes and destroy Sasuke's meridians!

So, hurry up and come back.

Otherwise, even if Tsunade herself came, she couldn't save your brother!

However, just as Ara was about to mention to Izumi that he was going to leave Konoha for the time being, his mind suddenly sharpened, and he looked towards the entrance of the clan's territory as if sensing something.

Not only did Huang sense something, but a pair of eyes gleaming with a faint golden light also descended from the night sky and stood quietly beside the boy.

It is Owl, the monster companion of that girl, Kaoru.

'Coo coo.'

It hissed softly in the wilderness's ear, conveying the message that someone had invaded.

"Well, I see."

"Go ahead, and tell Izumi and the others to stay alert as well."

The boy spoke calmly, a faint glint of crimson light flashing in his eyes.

Before they could construct their own warning barrier, the Uchiha clan mainly relied on Owl's senses to monitor any potential powerful intruders at night.

For example, there's Obito Uchiha, who tried to cause trouble several times.

But things are different now. In addition to the great improvement in the strength of the clansmen themselves, the entire area where the clans live has also become perfectly natural under the arrangement of Xuan Neng, the master of mechanisms.

It's worth noting that Konoha hadn't discovered the explosive tags planted within its territory for decades, which speaks volumes about the craftsmanship of its artisans.

'Boom'.

At that moment, a very faint snapping sound rang out, coming from a corner area where no one was on duty.

However, although the snapping sound was extremely subtle and faint, in the darkness that could conceal everything, it was even weaker than the buzzing of a mosquito.

However, the chain reaction it brings is enormous.

The delicate, sharp sound of bells traveled from afar into the tribe's territory, and this simple early warning system proved remarkably effective and impossible to suppress.

Immediately, well-trained Uchiha duty squads rushed towards the source of the sound, their scarlet pupils appearing eerie and extremely oppressive in the dark night!

Visiting someone at night without permission is practically suicidal!

"Five."

"Are the ANBU ninjas trying to take revenge on their fallen comrades under the cover of night?"

In his perception, the invading ninjas were five relatively unfamiliar chakra auras, one of which was extremely cold and obscure, and was no pushover.

Ara's first thought was that these infiltrators were ninjas from the Anbu.

After all, Izumi cleanly and efficiently eliminated an entire elite ANBU unit today, an act that has reignited the hatred between the ANBU and the Uchiha clan.

This also directly proves one thing: the ability to make good use of the Time-based Mangekyou Sharingan is truly bizarre and powerful.

【No. 】

Those guys can't be that stupid, right?

Even if they were unwilling, that old fox Hiruzen Sarutobi would never allow ANBU ninjas to come and die.

However, this speculation was quickly refuted.

Of course, it couldn't be that the Sand Village team wanted to contact him under the cover of night.

He had already memorized the chakra aura of the Jonin leading the team, Maki, and Gaara probably wouldn't use such a safe method.

So, who could it be?

Well, whoever it is, if they're an enemy, then kill them.

While I was thinking, Huang's figure was no longer on the rooftop.

"I'm so sorry, sir."

Concerned about the broken fuse he had accidentally triggered, and listening to the crisp, incessant ringing, the culprit felt a sudden sense of unease and fear.

While hastily expressing his apology, he was trembling all over, shaking like a leaf!

Clearly, those addressed as "adults" evoke strong feelings of oppression and fear in him.

The remaining three teammates, however, did not join in pleading for him. Instead, they looked at the unfortunate fellow beside them with mocking expressions, their eager eyes seeming to anticipate witnessing some tragic end.

"do not mind."

Upon hearing the apology trembling in his voice, the leader slowly turned his gaze to the side, his voice soft and feminine, a faint smile playing on his lips.

At the same time, they stopped in their tracks.
