Pirate: I'm cracked, but my mutation talent is incredibly strong.

Shanks openly attacked Konoha's gatekeeper, Kotetsu, which crossed the line for the strongest village in the ninja world.

Putting aside the truth and inside story of the Root organization, the mere act of openly attacking the Konoha ninja has already violated the dignity and laws of Konoha Village.

One by one, Konoha ninjas surrounded them.

The commotion attracted the attention of Konoha's gatekeepers and guards.

Seeing that no one was guarding the gate, many Konoha genin and chunin, even students and civilians, flocked out of the village to watch the spectacle.

Well, I'm not just here to watch the show...

We should actively provide support...

After all, protecting the ninja village is everyone's responsibility!

Having glimpsed part of the situation through his telescope, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately ordered more Anbu to be deployed.

He even put on the Hokage hat and the divine robe and rushed out.

He actually saw Orochimaru appear openly, and he was even seen with Chiyo from Sunagakure.

This gave him a very bad feeling.

···

"That guy is so tall! His legs are as long as bamboo poles!"

"Is that a pitchfork he's carrying? It's pitch black and looks filthy!"

"He doesn't even wear his clothes properly, showing off his abs... Does Corn's belly look good? It's obvious that his parents didn't teach him how to dress."

"He has so many tattoos; he's definitely a delinquent!"

As soon as these troublemakers from Konoha appeared, they began to criticize Katakuri, who stood out from the crowd.

His tone was full of arrogance and confidence, typical of the strongest hidden village in the ninja world.

"Look at that one, look at that one! Two long swords are strapped to his waist. Is he a wandering samurai?"

"They might not even have seen a kunai or a shuriken."

"How dare a mere samurai cause trouble at the gates of Konoha Village!"

"This person probably doesn't even know ninjutsu."

"Those two redheads look exactly alike! I hate redheads the most! They look like red chili peppers! I really want to pluck all their red hairs!"

"And that guy, he looks like an idiot, wearing a tattered straw hat!"

"This kind of trash should go back to farming. How dare he come to participate in the Chunin Tournament?"

"Seriously, these days any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to come to Konoha and make a fool of themselves."

···

The moment the Konoha scoundrels and the brat appeared, they insulted the Gu Yue brothers thoroughly.

The single-minded Lu Ya couldn't tell that someone was insulting him, and still looked excited and ready to fight.

The others were already bulging with veins.

Especially Katakuri, who has the most fiery temper and is the coldest!

These ants actually called the earth dragon trident, which his father Fang Huo had personally crafted for him, a dung fork.

To describe the supreme weapon, the noble Armored Black, as pitch black and filthy...

"You're asking for it!!"

Katakuri made a sudden move, raising his hand to unleash a barrage of golden arrows that shot rapidly toward these trashy ants who dared to mock them.

shhhhhh!

One by one, the scoundrels of Konoha were shot through the forehead, their heads exploding like watermelons.

Red and white splattered everywhere...

In that split second, even an elite Jonin like Kakashi couldn't save the Konoha villagers in time.

The tall guy's attack speed was at least several times that of the red-haired boy with the knife.

After a brief silence.

"boom!!"

Countless Konoha villagers, students, and genin vomited and fled in terror.

"Murder! Murder!"

"Someone from another village has committed murder!"

"Quickly kill all these dangerous out-of-town ninjas!"

One by one, the unruly citizens of Konoha cried out in fear.

Ninja squads formed fighting teams, staring in shock at these lawless ninjas from other villages.

Are they here to participate in the Chunin Exams, or to start a war?

"Buzz!!!"

A terrifying burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Katakuri, with black and red lightning scattering everywhere.

The ground is cracking, even the tree bark is peeling off...

Countless fleeing civilians and genin/chunin all collapsed, their eyes rolling back and foaming at the mouth.

Even the Konoha Twelve couldn't withstand Katakuri's Conqueror's Haki; they all collapsed to the ground, their consciousness struggling frantically...

Kakashi's pupils shrank to a tiny black dot, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Oh no, the enemy is so powerful!

"Heh heh, every time I sense the divine child's overwhelming aura, I feel so awe!"

Orochimaru excitedly stuck out his tongue and licked his lips; this power was simply too exaggerated.

If this were on a battlefield, it would wipe out all the genin and chunin.

This is the true super S-class forbidden technique on the battlefield!

"Hehe, I've even used my Conqueror's Haki to stun over 50,000 ordinary soldiers!!"

"If Third Brother unleashes his full power, he could probably stun over 100,000 soldiers and minions."

Lu Ya became even more excited when he saw his brothers arrive. Had they already started a war with this so-called strongest hidden village?

It seems that if we want to enjoy the food here, we'll have to defeat Konoha Village first, just like we defeated Sunagakure Village.

"What?! One hundred thousand?!"

Orochimaru and Chiyo gasped in shock. They had thought that stunning the nearby weaklings was already an exaggeration.

I didn't expect that he hadn't even unleashed his full power yet.

If it were to unleash its full power, how large an area could it cover?

The entire ninja world couldn't produce 100,000 ninjas.

There probably aren't many ninjas who can withstand this kind of Conqueror's Haki aura!

When Kakashi heard Lu Ya's boasting, he broke out in a cold sweat even more.

That means there are at least two powerful individuals on the other side with this kind of aura?

With one costing 50,000 and the other 100,000, the two of them could wipe out 98% of the civilians and ninjas in Konoha.

How can we fight like that!

You should know that there are only so many Jonin in a hidden village.

"Advisor Chiyo, our Hidden Leaf Village and the Hidden Sand Village have an alliance. Are you going to break the alliance and start a war?"

"Lord Orochimaru, are you here to destroy Konoha? This is your hometown!"

Kakashi, sweating profusely, jumped out, his eyes filled with determination.

The Konoha ninja in front of Katakuri were stunned, while the Sunagakure and Otogakure ninjas behind them were unharmed.

These monsters are clearly from the two hidden villages.

"What are you babbling about? Do you not want to fight anymore after this sneak attack?"

Lu Ya stared at the white-haired, masked man. He hated this kind of mysterious guy; he wasn't sincere at all.

The next moment, a large group of ninjas wearing animal masks appeared behind Kakashi.

Elite ninjas from various major clans also arrived one after another.

Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared with a solemn expression.

He couldn't believe that in the short time it took him to get from the Konoha office to the village's outskirts, so many ninjas and villagers had been defeated.

Is this some kind of dream?

"You're the Third Hokage, hailed as the strongest in Konoha?"

Katakuri's sharp eyes scanned Hiruzen Sarutobi again and again, noticing his withered aura, his shrunken muscles...

Is this old guy the strongest?

Is this a joke?

Even that mushroom-headed guy in green has several times more power than this old man.

Looks like another old geezer seeking fame and fortune!

"Are you a ninja from Sunagakure or Otogakure?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Orochimaru, who was wearing the Sound Ninja headband, and then at the monsters who had no identification or headbands. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph! We're not such fragile ninjas!"

"I am Charlotte Katakuri, the third son of the Kozuki family!"

"I hereby formally challenge you, the so-called strongest!"

"After I finish fighting you, you fame-seeking old bastard, I'll fight that mushroom-headed guy."

"His power is greater than yours!"

Katakuri glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi indifferently, then looked seriously at Might Guy, who looked a bit silly with his mushroom haircut.
