Konoha: Starting with the Tenseigan, taking over Team 7

"I have always believed that as long as I train twice as hard as a genius, I will definitely become stronger. I have always believed that... But no matter how hard I try, I can never compare to a true genius."

Lee Rock's voice choked with emotion, his eyes were red-rimmed, and tears streamed down his face.

Despite my best efforts... I lost to a genius.

Chapter 78: The One-Tailed Beast Goes Wild, and the War Begins.

"Die, your mother thirsts for your blood." Gaara raised his hand and aimed at Rock Lee. Blood-stained sand flew up and swiftly attacked Rock Lee's head.

In an instant.

With a "bang," Matt Kai appeared in front of Rock Lee, raising his hand to disperse the surging sand.

As Lee Rock's consciousness blurred, he looked at Might Guy's retreating figure and uttered a hoarse, choked voice, "Teacher Guy, I... lost."

He has always worked hard, harder than anyone else.

But... he lost.

"Little Lee...you did a great job, you've tried your best." Might Guy turned around and hugged Lee Locke, looking at the large pool of blood flowing to the ground, his nose tingled and tears welled up in his eyes.

Lee Rock fainted.

Gekko Hayate gave Gaara a deep look and announced in a deep voice, "The victor is Gaara."

Several medical ninjas carried Rock Lee away.

Everyone watched with heavy hearts as Rock Lee was carried away by the medical ninjas. They never expected that Rock Lee would lose, and that he would suffer a crushing defeat after opening the fourth gate.

Rock Lee's speed just now was definitely at the level of a special Jonin, while Gaara of the Sand Village is probably at the level of a Jonin or an elite Jonin!

The main thing is.

All the Jonin present could clearly sense the peculiar chakra that Gaara had used in that instant.

has a problem!

The feeling of that chakra was just like that of the Nine-Tailed Fox from the past.

"The One-Tailed Jinchuriki, huh?" Mei Terumi rested her chin on her hand, gazing down at Gaara with a thoughtful expression in her eyes.

How could the Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast leave the village to participate in the Chunin Selection Exams of another village? What is the Sand Village up to?

Naruto Uzumaki said with a heavy heart and resentment, "I tried so hard, I really wanted to prove myself, and I have such great strength, but I still lost to that guy from the Sand Village."

"Gaara." Sasuke Uchiha's face was grim as he stared intently at Gaara in the distance. Gaara seemed completely unharmed, with almost no injuries whatsoever.

Rock Lee's speed was much greater than Sasuke Uchiha's, but Gaara was able to defeat Rock Lee without taking any damage, which is enough to show that Gaara's strength is terrifying.

damn it!

I'm the one who will win!

"How cruel," Sakura Haruno muttered. She hadn't expected Rock Lee to lose. Rock Lee had tried his best to uphold the way of the ninja, but in the end, he was defeated by the cruel reality.

"Dreams are just fantasies of the lower classes. If everyone could realize their dreams, then the existence of power would be meaningless," Hyuga Sogetsu said calmly. "No matter how much effort you put in, you will eventually have to bow down to the power called cheat codes."

let's start.

Hyuga Sogetsu looked down indifferently at Gaara, who was walking slowly below, his misty blue eyes narrowing slightly.

time.

Gaara was in excruciating pain in his abdomen, a burning pain spreading throughout his body. His indifferent expression twisted into a grimace as he clutched his aching abdomen and knelt on the ground, his entire body radiating crimson chakra.

Gaara's sudden change startled everyone present.

"what happened!"

Hyuga Sogetsu glanced at Naruto and said calmly, "You little fox, I'll show you a treasure."

"Eh? What treasure!" Naruto Uzumaki was slightly taken aback for a moment, then ran to Hyuga Sogetsu with great joy, looking at Sogetsu expectantly with a fox-like expression.

"Try searching in your dreams, you should be able to find the treasure. Anyway... you should get some sleep first." Hyuga Sogetsu smiled slightly and punched Naruto in the stomach with his fist.

Let's let the nine-tailed brat sleep quietly for now, in case it gets chaotic when the battle starts and the nine-tailed brat runs around aimlessly.

If the Nine-Tailed Demon runs around, it might be captured by the Akatsuki. If the Nine-Tailed Demon is captured by the Akatsuki, the hidden mission will fail completely.

At that time, the option to choose one of the three abilities will also be canceled.

Therefore, it would be very safe for the nine-tailed demon to stay by Cang Yue's side after he fell into a deep sleep, since there was no safer place than by Cang Yue's side.

"Damn it." Naruto Uzumaki clutched his stomach and knelt on the ground. The excruciating pain spread from his abdomen to his brain, and he eventually fainted from the pain.

"Teacher Cangyue?" Sasuke and Sakura looked at Cangyue in confusion. They didn't understand why Teacher Cangyue would knock out Naruto Uzumaki, when there was an important match coming up.

Hinata Sogetsu said, "I'm giving you an important task. That little fox brat is too stupid to complete it."

"What mission?" Sasuke and Sakura were slightly taken aback. They were about to go down for the competition, so why was Teacher Cangyue talking about a mission now?

Hinata Sogetsu pointed to the ground and said in a commanding tone, "No matter what happens later, you must sit behind me and watch the show. Just obediently appreciate my power."

Sasuke and Sakura are also very important supporting characters. If these two brats were randomly killed by Akatsuki members, the main master-disciple quest would be ruined.

Therefore, one must sit behind him to watch the show, because behind him is the safest area.

"That's weird." Sakura Haruno looked at Aozuki with a puzzled expression.

Why would Teacher Cangyue suddenly issue such a strange order?

“I understand.” Sasuke Uchiha nodded slightly. He hadn’t figured anything out yet and couldn’t understand Cang Yue’s strange behavior at all.

But since it was Teacher Cangyue's order, it must have a very important meaning.

"Hmm, very good." Hyuga Sogetsu picked up the unconscious Uzumaki Naruto, then threw him toward Uchiha Sasuke, and said in a commanding tone, "Hold on, don't let go."

"..." Sasuke Uchiha caught Naruto, looked at Naruto's silly sleeping face, his lips twitched slightly, and he felt very speechless.

Hold on to Naruto and don't let go?

what the hell!

"As for Hinata..." Hyuga Sogetsu held the sleeping Hinata in his arms. Hinata had a cute little smile on her face, as if she was having a very happy dream.

Hidan has drawn Hinata's blood, and he might use Hinata to threaten him later.

"Stay here with me for now." Hyuga Sogetsu looked at Hinata, who was having a sweet dream, and chuckled as he raised a finger and gently poked Hinata's fair cheek.

He planned to hold Hinata for the time being, in case something unexpected happened after the battle started. Even if Hinata died by accident, she could be revived using Nagato's Rinnegan.

But this is the worst-case scenario. If Hinata's death can be prevented, then of course it should be prevented.

Just ask.

Holding a little girl and still acting cool, can anyone else do that?

"Hmm." Hinata Hyuga frowned slightly, scratched her cheek that had been poked, then relaxed and continued to sleep.

"You scoundrel, Gaara from Sunagakure is acting strangely. You can tell..." Kurenai Yuhi gazed at Gaara kneeling on the steps below, his body radiating crimson chakra, with her ruby-like eyes. Before she could finish speaking...

"You're in the way, go watch the show from a distance." Hyuga Sogetsu picked up Kurenai Yuhi as if she were a kitten, and then threw her forcefully toward Mei Terumi on the third-floor observation deck in the distance.

He disliked having people around him when fighting the enemy, because they would get in his way.

However, Team 7 is an important tool, while Hinata is in a very dangerous situation and could be killed by Hidan at any time.

The Nine-Tailed Demon is the main character of this hidden mission, so Team 7 and Hinata can only stay by his side for the time being.

"Ugh—." Kurenai Yuhi's pretty face was blank. Before she could react, she was thrown away in a daze, staring blankly at Mei Terumi who was getting closer and closer.

Hyuga Sogetsu put his hand to his mouth like a megaphone, smiled, and whispered, "Little Mei, catch it."

"Huh?" Mei Terumi subconsciously caught Kurenai Yuhi, and looking at Kurenai's cute and heroic face, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

What is that pervert doing?

Kurenai Yuhi was also looking at Mei Terumi, her alluring face so close to hers.

Why did that scoundrel dump me on Mei Terumi?

The two women looked at each other, both completely bewildered.

Hyuga Sogetsu gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Well done!"

Both the crazy woman Mei Terumi and Kurenai Yuhi are members of the same chaotic situation, so let Mei Terumi protect Kurenai for the time being.

After all, Mei Terumi may be crazy, but she is still a Kage-level powerhouse.

well.

Everything is laid out perfectly; we're just waiting for the enemy to appear so we can unleash our fury.

perfect!

"You pervert..." Mei Terumi frowned slightly, coldly looking at Hyuga Sogetsu in the distance, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes, before she could finish speaking.

"Ah—!" Gaara clutched his head and roared in pain. His eyes turned into pale golden beastly pupils, his arms transformed into claws made of sand, and the crimson chakra emanating from his body formed a powerful gust of wind.

A deafening roar of scorching hot steam enveloped the entire area, and the terrifying aura caused everyone's expressions to change drastically. Gaara ultimately transformed into the One-Tailed Shukaku.

"Roar—!" Shukaku, with its mountain-like body, sat in the Chunin Exams arena. It raised its head and let out a low roar, unleashing a massive chakra burst that completely surpassed that of an ordinary Kage!

"This is... a Tailed Beast!"

After a moment of stunned silence, everyone stared solemnly at the One-Tailed Shukaku, which was as large as a small mountain. Due to Shukaku's absurdly large amount of chakra, everyone could feel an immense force.

Even the three figures on the third floor were in disbelief at this moment.

"This..." Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, was slightly bewildered as he looked down at Shukaku, which resembled a small mountain in the distance.

His plan was for Gaara to use Shukaku during the Chunin Exams later in the season, and then for the ninjas from Sunagakure and Otogakure to launch a simultaneous attack on Konoha.

But... Gaara hasn't even used the power of Shukaku yet, so how did Shukaku suddenly go berserk and appear?

How is this going!

"Could it be..." Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, looked down at Hyuga Sogetsu in the distance and said with a hoarse smile, "Could it be Sogetsu's doing?"

The plan hasn't changed, it's just been moved up.

Hyuga Sogetsu's forced use of the Tailed Beast's rampage was incredibly foolish, because Akatsuki members would be present this time, making Hyuga Sogetsu's defeat almost certain!

After the Akatsuki members defeat Sogetsu, I will also be able to deal with Sarutobi-sensei, and then I can take the opportunity to obtain Hyuga Sogetsu.

Finally... finally I can get Azure Moon!

That's right.

He cooperated with the Akatsuki, or more accurately, with the masked man. The Akatsuki's goal was to capture the One-Tailed and Nine-Tailed, while his goal was to defeat Hiruzen Sarutobi and simultaneously obtain the power of Hyuga Sogetsu.

"Hahahaha—the air outside is so much better! I can finally escape this damn seal!"

Shukaku roared, its mountain-sized body trembling violently with every movement, spewing out circular jets of wind pressure that carelessly destroyed everything around it.

With a deafening roar, war erupted throughout the village, with fierce clashes visible everywhere. Hundreds of ninjas from the Sand Village and the Sound Village appeared one after another, engaging in battle with the Konoha ninjas who were waiting in ambush.

After hearing the intelligence yesterday, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately dispatched ANBU, Jonin, and a large number of Chunin to stand by in the village.

With a "whoosh," nearly a hundred Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja swarmed into the examination hall like bees. Might Guy, Asuma, Kakashi, and other Jonin reacted quickly and immediately joined the battle.

With a deafening roar, a massive circular gust of wind slammed into the third floor. Mei Terumi, carrying Kurenai Yuhi, leaped backward to avoid Shukaku's terrifying wind-style attack.

"What's going on? The Sand Village and Konoha are allies, right?" Mei Terumi landed on a rooftop in the distance, her alluring face gradually turning serious. Her beautiful eyes swept across the entire village, where battle raged everywhere and large numbers of ninjas were engaged in fierce combat.

However, no ordinary people were seen, which means that Konoha Village was already prepared to go to war with Sunagakure and Otogakure!

With a "whoosh," after Mei Terumi left, four figures landed on the third floor of the venue, standing in four directions to surround Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Ninjutsu Four Purple Flame Formation!"

The Sound Four simultaneously formed hand seals and then slammed their hands onto the ground.

A dark purple barrier rose from the ground, enveloping the entire giant Hokage Building and isolating Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru from the outside world.

"Hehe... Long time no see, Sarutobi-sensei." Orochimaru tossed away the Kazekage cloak, revealing a pale woman's face, who was even quite tall.

Due to his ability to possess and reincarnate, Orochimaru is currently in a woman's body.

"Orochimaru..." Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't surprised. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, exhaled a cloud of pale smoke, and gave Orochimaru, who was using a woman's body, a long look.

At this time, the other side.

Mei Terumi glanced at Orochimaru inside the barrier in the distance, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly. She said coldly, "Orochimaru? The Kazekage is actually Orochimaru in disguise."

Since the Kazekage is Orochimaru in disguise, it means that the Sand Village is also a victim, and was completely deceived by Orochimaru into starting the war.

That being said.
