Without any dazzling or flashy effects, a series of specks of white light appeared, and the Fourth Kazekage appeared with a blank expression, his face still bearing the resolute look he had before his death.

Before he could react,

Kankuro's fist had already slammed heavily into his face, slamming him into the ground.

"Father, this punch is for Gaara to beat you."

……

Hyuga clan land,

"Lord Neji was eliminated right at the start, what a pity! Lord Neji is clearly very strong, it's all just bad luck!"

A beautiful young woman from the branch family, one of Neji's subordinates in the game's guild, offered words of comfort.

"Not bad luck."

After Neji uttered this inexplicable statement, he knelt in the center of the training ground, closed his eyes slightly, and waited quietly.

"It's terrible, Lord Neji! Even if it's the Chunin Exams, with your strength you'll definitely get the title of Shinobi God, and then the Hyuga clan will be famous throughout the ninja world!"

The girls from the separated family chattered away.

Neji opened his eyes and asked, "Rinko, do you have a reason to fight?"

"Reason for battle?"

Hinata Rinko was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Lord Neji would suddenly ask such a question, but she still answered matter-of-factly, "Fighting for the main family and protecting the main family is our reason for fighting, even if it means sacrificing all our flesh and blood."

She envied Lord Neji for being able to gain the favor of the main family.

However, she soon found that she was able to do it too. The Hyuga family obtained a lot of exchange items by virtue of her status as a player in the Reincarnation Game. The clan head and elders all saw her efforts for the main family.

"Is that so? In that case, I can't take you with me..."

As Neji finished speaking,

Suddenly, a blinding white light burst forth from the sky, mixed with a giant dragon of water and fire, and exploding lightning.

The giant snake raised its head, the toad brandished its knife...

Chaotic chakra energy permeated the entire Hidden Leaf Village, buildings were destroyed, and the ground caved in.

boom.

The roars and sounds of battle began to rise!

One after another, figures with bulging veins at the corners of their eyes entered the training ground and knelt beside Neji. The leader whispered, "Lord Neji, the enemy village's elite troops have begun to make their move. We can take this opportunity to leave."

"leave?"

Neji looked puzzled, then raised his head to look at the Hokage Rock.

Anyone in Konoha Village can see the rock face high up on the ground. Only the strongest ninja who inherits the Will of Fire will be carved into the rock face and become the Hokage.

One by one, the energy beads scattered, swirling around him like satellites.

Neji, unusually disregarding the Hyuga clan's etiquette, grinned and said, "Konoha is our home. Why leave? We only need to sweep away the filth and dust to start anew."

Hinata Rinko's expression changed, as if she had realized something.

Until she saw the Hyuga branch family members, following Neji's actions, tear off their headbands, revealing their smooth, white foreheads...

"Lord Neji, you actually betrayed your clan?"

Hinata Rinko's voice trembled, her face filled with disbelief.

Gentle, polite, and humble, Neji, known as the Glory of Hyuga, surprisingly chose to remove the cursed seal of the Caged Bird Seal and betray his clan.

"We all admire you and want to become powerful ninjas like you to protect the main clan, but... why?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but worship is the furthest distance from understanding."

A pearl imbued with violent Nen energy pierced through Rinko Hinata's chest.

"When we were hunting the polluted monster, I told you to exchange for a set of armor with healing effects. With this kind of injury, you should be able to move around again by tomorrow."

"Let's go, you caged bird willing to rebel, it's time to tear the iron cage apart!"

Chapter 107 The Trampled Will of Fire

Fire shot into the sky.

Because of Asuma's persistence, civilians were forcibly evacuated, and the tilting and collapsing buildings, as well as the chakra storms caused by the clash of ninjutsu, did not affect innocent people.

but,

The enemy ninjas were not originally targeting civilians. Before the Anbu could react, Iwagakure squads had already stormed some important buildings, the power plant exploded, and the flames began to spread outwards.

The enemy ninjas, who had been lying in ambush, were stopped by the swift-reacting Konoha troops after the first two waves of surprise attacks.

Inside the Four Purple Flame Array

"As expected of the strongest Hokage, he was able to block my Lightning Release."

The voice was laced with mockery.

A, having activated his strongest Lightning Release Armor, is covered in Lightning Release chakra, making his movement incredibly fast.

Shuriken shadow clones.

Countless sharp shurikens were thrown out, forming an impenetrable iron net.

Since it's fast, let's launch a large-scale attack.

Heavy storm.

The violent energy of the Lightning Release chakra gathered at his elbow, instantly sweeping away all the shuriken and smashing them into Hiruzen Sarutobi's abdomen.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was hit by the impact, turned into a puddle of mud.

"The various ninja clans are already prepared to meet your attack. The Anbu, the Barrier Team, and Root—your ninjas who have infiltrated Konoha are simply incapable of causing any damage to the village."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he unleashed a scorching fire dragon, forcing back Ai, who was trying to get close.

He felt a sense of relief, but also a lingering fear.

Thanks to Asuma's strong persuasion, otherwise Konoha would have suffered a truly huge loss.

"I was also worried that Konoha, the strongest ninja village, had a backup plan, but it turned out that I was overthinking it."

Onoki let out a sneer.

Jiraiya easily dodged the rock fist that slammed heavily onto the stands, shattering the stone slabs.

Jiraiya asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Most of the Konoha ninjas are not wearing equipment. Even with their numerical advantage, they cannot possibly withstand our Iwagakure."

As if his words had come true,

A blood-soaked ANBU staggered to the edge of the stands and, across the four purple flame array, reported: "Lord Shikaku, the eastern defensive position has fallen. Fifty-nine ANBU members have been killed, along with fifty-four Chunin and five Jonin."

Shikaku looked incredulous and asked doubtfully, "How is this possible? All the ANBU elites I sent to the eastern defense line were sent there. Who led the Iwagakure team? Was it Huang Tu?"

As a strategist, he personally selected the ninjas for the defense plans.

Whether it's the combination of ninjutsu or combat ability, even someone as strong as Huang Tu couldn't possibly be defeated so easily.

"No, he's just an ordinary ninja from Iwagakure."

Even through the mask, one could hear the helplessness in the voice of the Dark Guard. He said, "The aura they exude is similar to ours, or even slightly weaker."

"But they wear strange armor that seems to enhance their abilities, and we can't stop them at all."

The Anbu suffered over 50 casualties, while Iwagakure only lost a dozen or so ninjas.

This level of casualty ratio is astonishing.

He pulled out a tattered suit of armor that he had risked his life to retrieve and handed it to Lu Jiu with trembling hands.

As soon as Shikaku took it, a string of black text appeared in his mind.

This is the attribute of this armor set: Energy +30.

He had heard of the quality classification of equipment. This set of armor was only a green set, yet it could bring about a turning point in the game?

He ripped off the family pendant from her neck.

Shikaku closed his eyes and said, "Take the necklace to the Nara family and tell them to head to the eastern front."

Inside the Four Purple Flame Formation, A and Onoki deliberately slowed their offensive, allowing the news of the fall of eastern Konoha to reach the Hokage's ears without missing a single word.

"Armor, equipment?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips trembled as he looked sorrowfully to the east, where thick smoke billowed and flames swirled.

He regretted it.

Their failure to accept Asuma's decision and their failure to develop life skills resulted in Konoha ninjas going into battle unarmed.

Is there really such a big difference?

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and asked, "Jiraiya, did I do something wrong?"

"Don't get distracted, old man."

Jiraiya frowned as he dodged the Dust Release technique released by Onoki.

When the opponent deliberately released the four purple flame arrays, they avoided the burning flames and maintained the integrity of the barrier, making the dark squad waiting outside increasingly anxious.

quickly,

Another secret agent came to report that the western flank had fallen.

"Yun Yin was wearing strangely designed leather armor and was incredibly fast; there was simply no way to stop him!"

Hearing this,

Sarutobi's breathing became rapid. Even though he knew in his heart that the most important thing at the moment was to deal with Onoki and Ai, he still felt a sharp pain in his heart.

His own poor decision-making led to heavy casualties among the Konoha ninja.

He wasn't as cold-blooded and ruthless as Danzo. Although he had his own selfish motives, he still loved the village.
