Chapter 105 Raikage: Let's stop pretending, let's begin the attack on Konoha!

If we say,

He instigated conflict between Iwagakure, Akatsuki, and Amegakure; he covered his body in Sharingan; and he forced talented children from ninja clans to join Root—all in an effort to strengthen his forces and protect Konoha.

All of these are still within the tolerance range.

But how do you explain handing over the ninja deployment map to a rogue ninja?

Could it be that Orochimaru, like Itachi Uchiha, possessed a hidden Will of Fire, enduring humiliation and becoming a rogue ninja to secretly protect Konoha?

asshole!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was trembling with rage, wishing he could rush into Konoha Prison right now and give Danzo a good beating.

"Shikaku, immediately notify the security forces and the secret service to change their deployment and proceed with the backup plan."

"Any suspicious individuals should be killed on sight, without needing to be apprehended!"

His tone was chilling, filled with intense killing intent.

Although he has made compromises over the years, he absolutely cannot tolerate anything related to the safety of the village.

Also trembling was Maki, who had taken over from Kazekage and was now sitting in the stands.

"Kazekage-sama, Orochimaru..."

Maki's eyes widened.

I witnessed Orochimaru teaming up with Kabuto and Kimimaro to kill Rasa, who was caught off guard and fighting in a sorry state.

Finally, he disguised himself as the Fourth Kazekage and infiltrated the Sunagakure team.

The entire audience was stunned.

"The Fourth Kazekage was killed by Orochimaru, and he has already infiltrated Konoha in disguise, intending to launch the Konoha Crush plan?"

Some players couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Everyone looked toward the center of the arena stands. Just now, the Kazekage had made an excuse to leave.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened as he asked, "Baki, does Sunagakure intend to declare war on Konoha?"

did not expect,

A golden surprise during a joint entrance exam unexpectedly uncovered Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha.

Maki looked anxious and didn't even bother to explain. He quickly ordered his Sand Village entourage to check the situation. He said, "Hokage-sama, the instigator of this is Orochimaru. As you can see, our Sand Village is also a victim."

"Yeah?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the sitting Mizukage and Raikage, and then at the restless Tsuchikage, before letting the matter rest.

If you insist on getting to the bottom of things, Sunagakure might turn hostile on the spot.

We must seize the time to change our defenses.

Damn Orochimaru, damn Danzo!

Inside the dueling arena,

Orochimaru, disguised as Kusagakure, changed his expression and whispered, "The Konoha Crush Plan has been exposed."

Then, he suddenly laughed, looked towards the stands where the nobles were, and shook his head, saying, "Unfortunately, the plan has changed. I'm no longer the mastermind behind the attack on Konoha, but rather..."

He didn't say anything more, but his expression as he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi on the stage was intriguing.

Teacher, rather than let you become decaying flesh and blood, let me draw a perfect conclusion for you.

"Lord Hokage, an Anbu member has gone missing and is suspected of being murdered."

A member of the secret service suddenly appeared, kneeling on one knee to report to the leader.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was grim as he asked, "Who did this?"

"The murdered ANBU member was responsible for guarding the dueling arena. Initial suspicions suggest he may be connected to the Kazekage who just left."

"Notify the garrison to surround the dueling arena and strictly prohibit any personnel from entering or leaving."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was serious as he issued the order without hesitation.

The hot-tempered Raikage was the first to retort: ​​"Hokage, are you trying to restrict my personal freedom?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained, "I'm sorry, Orochimaru has infiltrated Konoha, and I must ensure everyone's safety."

"snort!"

Onoki sneered, "To think that a rogue ninja could go to such lengths, daring to kill someone during the Chunin Exams, it seems Konoha isn't as powerful as rumored. Things have come to this..."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the smoke grenade that had fallen to the ground earlier.

He pulled the fuse in front of everyone.

Whoosh.

The smoke bomb flew into the sky above the duel arena, exploding into a dazzling firework that pieced together the symbol of Iwagakure.

"Seriously, this old man is so impatient. I was thinking of waiting until the Chunin Exams were over before I made my move."

Ai slowly took off his clothes, revealing his taut muscles, signaling the same thing.

Mei Terumi looked surprised, then covered her mouth and laughed, "Are they all going to do something reckless? Hokage, it seems you're in a dangerous situation."

"So, they really intend to launch an attack on Konoha during the Chunin Exams?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was not surprised at all. With Asuma's constant reminders, he had already anticipated the situation.

boom.

A cloud of smoke dissipated.

"Gentlemen, I am the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku. If we decide to let this matter drop, Konoha can pretend nothing happened, and you will still be honored guests. What do you say?"

With his messy white hair tied back and wearing wooden clogs, Jiraiya's expression was comical, but his eyes were full of vigilance.

He stood beside Hiruzen Sarutobi without hesitation.

Although he left the village out of disappointment due to his teacher's various decisions, he would fight to the death if anyone dared to attack Konoha.

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

Hiruzen Sarutobi's cloudy eyes lit up as he ripped open his divine robe, revealing the ninja armor he had been wearing.

Jiraiya said with a solemn expression, "Now is not the time for reminiscing. I never expected Orochimaru to do something like this, daring to attack Konoha."

"Jiraiya?"

The Kage are naturally familiar with the three legendary Konoha Sannin who shone brightly in the war.

According to intelligence,

He had long since left Konoha to travel around, and his last appearance was in the Land of Hot Springs. Unexpectedly, he quietly returned to Konoha.

The original plan was for the Raikage and Tsuchikage to join forces, kill the Hokage as quickly as possible, wreak havoc while Konoha was leaderless, and then take advantage of the situation to mobilize the ninja forces on the border to annex the territory of the Land of Fire.

Now it seems that Hiruzen Sarutobi, that monkey, had anticipated this all along.

"Four Purple Flame Formation!"

The secret agent who had reported earlier suddenly launched an attack, summoning three other people who quickly stood at the four corners of the stands.

A purple, transparent flame barrier rose up.

Take off the mask.

The faces of the Sound Four were revealed.

Inside the dueling arena, Orochimaru's soft, feminine voice rang out: "Sarutobi-sensei, it's been a long time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced sideways, closed his eyes in heartache, and sighed, "I never imagined you would go to such lengths, my dear disciple, Orochimaru."

A, surrounded by the barrier, laughed and said, "It seems Orochimaru wants to use us to get rid of you. What a clever scheme."

"I was worried that countless Konoha ninjas would come to your aid from deep within Konoha, but now it seems I should thank Orochimaru properly."

The original plan was to successfully kill the Hokage.

Jiraiya's sudden appearance caused a change in the plan. If they could not kill the Hokage quickly, they would be stuck in a quagmire from which they could not escape.

They were all thinking of sitting down as the two of them suggested...

Orochimaru's appearance and the deployment of the Four Purple Flame Formation gave them another surprise.

As expected of Konoha,

Old tradition.
