I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

This is why it's so terrifying to think about.

"Oh, it seems the Third Hokage doesn't know everything yet?"

"I didn't expect that you would even forget the essence of the students you taught."

Huang ignored the questions from these clowns and instead looked at the old man in his field of vision with a mocking expression.

Perhaps it was because this old man had diverted some of Konoha's defenses to prepare a big gift for himself in the morning that he failed to discover the Kusagakure squad that had been killed and hidden.

He secretly pondered to himself,

But it's not a big problem.

"I really don't understand what Chief Huang is trying to say right now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally answered the former's question directly.

Aside from not changing Konoha's warning barrier, he asked himself if he had done anything wrong.

But for some reason, he always felt a vague unease in his heart. What did it mean that he had even forgotten the aura of the students he had taught?

Could it be that I have already met the other person before?

His brows furrowed, and wrinkles of age instantly appeared on the Third Hokage's forehead.

He couldn't recall it, so he could only be more careful with his answers.

He had already experienced firsthand the Uchiha clan's power to bewitch people.

Kakashi Hatake, who is currently speaking up for his clan, the Kurama clan, which is gradually drifting away from their own side, and the Hayama squad, who are gradually losing their will of fire, are the best examples of this.

"Heh, you really have failed in your duty, Third Hokage."

Huang responded with a mocking laugh.

Here, they even completely omitted the only word that symbolized respect, "Your Excellency."

"You dare to be so insolent, Uchiha Arashi!!"

"How dare you, a mere junior, make such arbitrary comments about the Third Hokage?"

Of course, unsurprisingly, he was met with a reprimand.

Similarly, the person who spoke up was also rebuked by Lin Huo and his group.

The whole scene became somewhat chaotic and unbearable at this moment.

It didn't resemble the demeanor of the top of the five great ninja villages at all; it looked more like a group of thugs arguing in the marketplace.

But at that moment, an ANBU ninja wearing a white mask and standard ninja uniform silently appeared beside the Third Hokage and whispered something in his ear.

After this report was finished, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression visibly changed, and his inscrutable gaze fell upon the boy.

The sneer on the latter's face seemed to intensify at this moment.

No wonder, no wonder, this kid is so fearless.

Because he controls an absolute information gap!

That's also the thing I lack most!

Now all we can do is pray that the information the other side has is different from the information we just received.

otherwise.........

"What's wrong, Third Hokage?"

"Have the elite members of the Dark Guard finally discovered something?"

Huang then spoke up.

His voice was full of sarcasm.

"Elite" and "finally" are practically two different, even opposing, adjectives.

Upon hearing this, not only did Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression stiffen, but even the ANBU ninja who came to report showed a hint of hostility in his eyes.

Because over the years, the forces that have caused the most severe losses to the Dark Division have not been external hostile forces, but rather those belonging to the same faction as them!

"How can information from the secret service be disclosed to the public so casually!"

"What if a malicious enemy overhears this?"

Sarutobi Shinga immediately retorted.

At the same time, he emphasized the word "enemy" very much, as if he were referring to a specific person.

"Ah."

To this, Huang merely smiled dismissively and continued speaking:

"It's okay if you don't say it."

"Then let me guess."

"Could it be that the elite members of the Anbu found the corpses of some team that came to participate in the competition while chasing Orochimaru?"

"Orochimaru and his subordinates were able to enter Konoha with impunity not because they knew the secret code of the barrier, but because the elite members of the Anbu did not conduct strict identity checks on the ninjas who came to participate in the competition."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, and the entire scene suddenly fell silent.

Correct, absolutely correct.

While pursuing Orochimaru, the Anbu discovered a Kusagakure squad that had been brutally murdered and their bodies dumped in the wilderness!

He was killed by a rogue ninja within Konoha's territory.

This incident is nothing short of a major diplomatic disaster!

What Hiruzen Sarutobi can be thankful for now is that the ninja he killed came from Kusagakure, a relatively weak force that can be appeased with some excuses and benefits.

If the Sand Village had suffered such a fate, it could very well have ignited a war!

"But that shouldn't be the case."

"Facing the Chunin Exams, facing such a solemn and grand occasion, and such a crucial juncture where all sorts of people are mixed together."

"Why didn't the elite members of the Anbu discover Orochimaru's infiltration?"

"Is it because they didn't focus their energy on the Chunin Exams?"

The desolation is overwhelming.

They did not give up their verbal attacks just because the Third Generation leader was silent for a moment.

"Or is it that the Dark Guard has no one left to use?"

"After all, the most important forces are used to protect the Third Hokage and to target his own comrades."

"Four ANBU squads, Hokage, you certainly have quite the grand display this morning!"

He reinstated the suffix "Your Excellency".

But in this context, it is incredibly ironic.

Chapter 498 My eyes have seen it all, everything that happened in the past.

Orochimaru and his subordinates' true method of infiltration was to murder other participating teams within the Land of Fire and take their identities!

Such a 'speculation' caused an uproar among all the Konoha ninja present.

Even Sarutobi Shinga, who has always been at odds with Ara, is like this!

After all, they weren't stupid, and they could naturally foresee the terrifying consequences that would result!

"Lord Hokage, is this true?"

"Did Orochimaru impersonate another team and swagger into the village?"

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could say anything, a Konoha Jonin wearing dark green ninja armor immediately asked urgently.

Moreover, it wasn't just ordinary Jonin; even some ninjas from powerful clans and ancient families showed restlessness and unease after hearing this speculation.

Because this is entirely possible!!

【cruel,】

【fear,】

【Danger,】

[Ignoring the lives of others.]

This is the label that various forces that came into contact with him after he defected from the village.

"Lord Hokage, we need a definitive answer to this matter."

A suppressed, uneasy voice came from the mouth of an adult man with a pigtail tied in the topknot.

He was also wearing dark green ninja armor, a symbol of Jonin rank, but what was truly chilling was that he possessed a pair of terrifying white eyes.

And at this moment, there were even menacing veins showing at the corners of his eyes.

"This concerns the Hyuga main family and the next successor of the Hyuga clan, so please do not conceal it."

His voice was filled with urgency and unease.

This state of mind was something he hadn't shown earlier that day when he saw his clan's genius had his shoulder and arm pierced by ice, his robes stained with blood.

This is because among the genin participating in the Chunin Exams is Hinata, the young lady of their clan.

This is far more than just a matter of the Byakugan and its bloodline limit!!

The Konoha ninjas who spoke up were all feeling tense.

Because the three trial venues were located in their own village, Konoha's genin had the largest number of participants in the joint exams.

They all had members of their clan or students who had made it into this second round of assessments.

If we were to allow someone as terrifyingly powerful and dangerous as Orochimaru to enter, it would be like letting a wolf into a flock of sheep; the consequences would be unpredictable!

The situation reversed in an instant.

All the doubts, all the emotions, everything turned against them.

Even the elite member of the secret service who came to report felt a chill run down his spine at the sight.
