The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Upon hearing this, the wife nodded in sudden understanding and looked at her husband with admiration.

Just then, their child's shouts rang out from the balcony.

"Mom and Dad, come out and see! The snow outside is so, so heavy!"

"Okay, we understand."

The husband gave a perfunctory reply and continued to ponder a way to detoxify.

In those few seconds, the vibrations intensified, and the tables, chairs, and benches in the room began to shake violently.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately understood what had happened.

"Earthquake! Run!"

The husband shouted, and the couple instinctively ran towards the balcony, intending to pull their child, who was playing there, away with them.

However, when the two ran to the balcony, they were stunned by the view before them, and the family of three stared blankly at the horizon.

"Is this... the end of the world...?"

The entire leaf was shrouded in a blue-purple barrier.

The distant horizon was obscured by thick snow dust, and even the sun was nowhere to be seen.

Even more terrifying, a massive wave of snow, tens of meters high, was surging toward Konoha.

While the family of three was still in a daze.

A dark figure landed on the balcony, picked up the child, and vanished in an instant.

When the couple came to their senses, they heard shouts coming from all directions.

"Quickly, everyone to the shelter."

"Ninjas without missions should take the children with them first."

"Emergency situation, the entire village is on high alert."

"Those who don't have time to leave should find suitable cover to take shelter."

........

On the rooftop of the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo stood side by side, watching the snowstorm that was getting closer and closer to Konoha.

But then it became clear that Hiruzen Sarutobi had somehow replaced his pipe with a Vajra staff, and he said with a solemn expression:

"Danzo, do you think the barrier team can hold it?"

Danzo's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, and thinking of the special ninjas recently added to Root, he said calmly:

"Don't worry, all the Root ninjas have gone. With their help in providing chakra, the barrier should be able to withstand this level of disaster."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was still a little uneasy. He turned to look at the Anbu squad leader kneeling on the ground behind him and said in a deep voice:

"Do you know who the enemy is this time, and how far the battlefield is from Konoha?"

The ANBU squad leader remembered Uchiha Tonan's previous instructions and knew what he should and shouldn't say.

After a moment's thought, he bowed his head and replied, "Lord Tu Nan did not tell us who the enemy was; he simply moved to the outskirts of the village a few days in advance to garrison the area."

Lord Tunan's position is approximately thirty kilometers away from Konoha.

Upon hearing this, Danzo looked up at the raging snowstorm and said in disbelief:

"How is that possible? If the distance is really that far."

What a powerful enemy it must be to cause such a commotion.

Even if Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju joined forces, they probably couldn't do it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gripped his Vajra Staff tightly, raised his head to stare at the oncoming snowstorm, and murmured:

"Perhaps the battle location has shifted towards Konoha."

Even so, it's not something an ordinary ninja could do to create such a commotion.

What kind of enemy is it...?

Could it be that Madara Uchiha has returned?

However, what they didn't know was that the distance the ANBU squad leader told them was the distance from Uchiha Tonan's cabin to Konoha.

It is not the distance of the actual battlefield.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was half right; the battlefield had indeed shifted.

It's just that it's the opposite of what Hiruzen Sarutobi guessed.

[Chapter 366 Konoha Crisis: The Same Tactic Used Again]

Rumble~

The sound, like muffled thunder, grew louder and louder.

The raging snowstorm swept across the land like a thousand horses, rushing towards Konoha amidst shouts and howls.

The mountains and valleys along the way could only temporarily slow down the snowstorm before being swallowed up by it in an instant.

Most people can do nothing at this time but watch the snowstorm silently and pray that the barrier above their heads can block it.

As the snowstorm drew closer, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression hardened. He quickly completed the hand seals, gripping his Vajra Staff and preparing for battle.

If the barrier breaks under the pressure, Hiruzen Sarutobi will immediately unleash a large-scale composite ninjutsu to resist the snowstorm.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi also knew that one person's strength was far from enough to face such a disaster.

I'm just a ninja, not a tailed beast. At most, I can only protect a few hundred meters around me.

Boom~

The blizzard, sweeping across the land, crashed heavily against the blue-purple barrier.

Just like surging waves encountering stubborn reefs, they flowed directly over the surface of the barrier.

Even those inside the barrier could see the snowstorm carrying trees and rocks as it flowed by, if they looked up.

Soon, the blizzard had already passed Konoha and continued its march into the distance.

As a result, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was plunged into darkness, its light obscured by the flowing snowstorm.

Only the barrier continued to emit a blue-purple light.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at this scene and actually breathed a sigh of relief, saying:

"It seems everything is alright now. The current barrier can fully withstand the weight of this snow."

Danzo beside him gently shook his head and said:

"The materialized barrier has isolated the inside from the outside, so removing the snow will be a big problem."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled easily, his face beaming with optimism, and said:

"It's okay, the snow will melt naturally once the sun comes out."

All we need to do is send enough ninjas in shifts to inject chakra into the barrier.

If all else fails, have the Sarutobi and Uchiha clan ninjas take turns using Fire Release techniques to heat the area.

Danzo nodded slightly and said, "Now we just need to wait here for news from Tunan."

After saying that, the two stood side by side, staring blankly at the barrier above their heads.

After a long while, the blue-purple barrier flickered rapidly, like an old light bulb.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile froze instantly. His eyes widened as he stared at the barrier, his face grave.

"Something's not right. The barrier seems to be weakening."

Danzo, however, was quite confident in the barrier. Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's worry, he couldn't help but snort:

"It was just a flash, how could it not hold up?"

Perhaps they were changing shifts just now, which caused a brief pause in the chakra maintaining the barrier.

This kind of disaster only needs to…

As they were talking, the barrier suddenly started flashing rapidly.

Danzo choked on his words and exclaimed in surprise:

"How is that possible!"

At the same time, a Root ninja appeared behind Danzo, panting, and said:

"Lord Danzo, it seems that something is constantly eroding the barrier."

"Our chakra is being depleted too quickly; we can't hold on much longer."

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly waved his hand and shouted:

"Quickly, order all Konoha ninja to go and provide support."

"Yes." The Root ninja lowered his head and immediately went to inform the other Konoha ninjas.

"how so."

Danzo simply couldn't understand why Konoha's powerful barrier made it so difficult to carry even ordinary snow.

No matter how Danzo viewed it, the snow was all ordinary, without the slightest abnormality.

"I didn't see anything special, so how could the barrier be being eaten away?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing beside him, stared at the snow stream above, its flow gradually slowing down.

Suddenly remembering something, he squatted down, scooped up the snow from the rooftop, and murmured:

"Perhaps there's something wrong with the snow."

Danzo raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this and said in a deep voice:

"Hiruzen, you're overthinking it."

Most of this snow piled up last night, how could there be a problem?

After thinking it over, Hiruzen Sarutobi, in order to confirm his guess, immediately formed hand seals and spat out a fireball towards the snow on the ground.

"Zzzzz~"
