In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning.

Chapter 68: Things are in hand, the incident ends, and a new era arrives
After coming up from the Nanhe River, Yagyu first took out dry clothes to change into, and then took out a new black cloak and mask and put them on.

Then, Yagyu formed seals with his hands and used all his strength to exert Kagura's Heart Eye to look at the location of the shadow clone.

At this time, the shadow clone had organized the Genin in the contestant area, received an A-level mission from Hatake Kakashi, and went to the forest to support Uchiha Sasuke who was chasing Gaara's three siblings.

So, Yagyu continued to use his red eyes' farsightedness and perspective, looking for somewhere.

It took more than ten minutes for Yagyu to leave Konoha and finally found the place under a mountain wall at the end.

Using the Lightning Chakra stimulation method, Yagyu moved forward at full speed.

The Konoha ninjas are now almost sending all the villagers to the shelter.

According to Konoha's safety manual, as long as the villagers are sent to the shelter without any worries, Konoha will gather all its strength and eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible.

This means that the countdown to Sarutobi Hiruzen's death has begun, and Yagyu must speed up to complete his tasks.

Then, before the incident comes to an end, go back and hand over to the shadow clone to create a perfect alibi.

After a while, Yagyu arrived at his destination.

In front of me is an ancestral hall that has been abandoned for many years and is full of traces of time.

Before the death of the Fourth Hokage, people often came here to clean.

But with the death of four generations of couples, no one came here anymore.

And this ancestral hall is called - Mask Storage Hall!

This is the building left behind in the Land of Fire by the Uzumaki clan during the Warring States Period, before they went to the island to build the Uzushiogakure Village.

Walking into the ancestral hall, you will see a large number of masks hanging on the walls covered with spider webs.

The masks have different shapes and patterns, but each one is a fanged monster.

There was a red light flashing in Yagyu's eyes. With his special red vision, he swept his gaze across the rows of masks and soon discovered that some of the masks emitted special chakra fluctuations. Obviously, they were all "ninja tools" with special abilities.

Yagyu took off these masks and recognized one of them at a glance.

This is the purpose of Yagyu's coming here. In the original novel, it is the mask of death that Orochimaru uses to regain the soul of his hands and release the soul of the previous Hokage.

Yagyu knew the effect of the Death Mask, but he didn't know the effects of the other masks.

But what is certain is that these masks should be related to the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques.

So, Yagyu put the Death Mask and these masks into the storage scroll, and then put the scroll into the space backpack.

Coming out of the ancestral hall, Ryousei looked at the clear sky, feeling extremely happy, and suddenly wanted to let out a long howl.

It went so well!

What Yagyu had always longed for was now in his hands, and it was going so smoothly that Yagyu felt as if he had been blessed by heaven.

But Yagyu knew that luck was only one of the factors. The biggest contribution was his diary that recorded the main line and some important plots, as well as the planning for more than a month!

If it wasn't the first C-rank mission, and if Yagyu hadn't met Kuroko Raiga and the owner of the Bloodline Limit: Red Eyes on the way back, he wouldn't have targeted Shiro.

If he had not obtained Ice Release and One-handed Hand Seal from Shiro, and had not known through experiments that Shadow Clones could increase the explosion rate, Yagyu would not have had the bold idea of ​​planning the Bloodline Limit: Wood Release and establishing his identity as a descendant of the Senju clan.

If it weren't for the sudden flash of inspiration just now, remembering how Orochimaru resurrected the previous Hokage, Yagyu wouldn't have come looking for the Mask of Death.

Now everything is ready, except for the Impure World Reincarnation of the previous Hokage, who will ask Senju Tobirama for various forbidden techniques as his descendant, and also ask Senju Hashirama for the secrets of the Senju Wood Release, the True Thousand Hands Wood Release.

Yagyu already had an idea, he just needed to perfect it.

sizzle...

The sound of electric currents intersecting was heard.

Using the Ninja Technique: Lightning Armor and the Lightning Release Chakra Stimulation Technique together, Yagyu turned into a blue-white electric light and quickly returned to Konoha.

On the way, Yagyu once again used Kagura's Heart Eye with all his strength and found that the chakra of the Konoha ninjas had all gathered.

Apparently, they had escorted all the villagers to the shelter and were working together to repel the enemy.

Although Konoha is no longer the strongest ninja village it once was, its foundation should not be underestimated.

As the weakest and least powerful of the five major ninja villages, the Sand Village does not have a full army attacking the enemy, nor does it have a second Kage-level figure other than the Fourth Kazekage.

When Konoha began to fight back with all its might and all the major ninja clans took action, the situation immediately became one-sided in favor of the Sand Ninjas and the Sound Ninjas.

The battle between master and disciple on the roof of the VIP seats, as well as the battle between Naruto and Gaara's Jinchuriki, are also coming to an end.

When Xiao Qiang and his friends went to support Uchiha Sasuke, they were chased by a large number of Sound Ninjas, and Kankuro stayed behind to cover Temari and Gaara.

So, Yagyu's shadow clone took the initiative to lead Team 8, as well as Nara Shikamaru and Sakura to stay behind to deal with these Sound Ninjas and Kankuro, and their main goal was to just slack off.

From the beginning to the end, Yagyu had no intention of taking the lead in Konoha's collapse plan.

Just as Orochimaru said, this incident will make Konoha's windmill, which has been stopped for many years, turn again.

Although he knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen was already old and would not be feared even if he revealed his Wood Release ability, but would instead receive unprecedented attention and training, Yagyu still hoped that he would die.

If he didn't die, it would indirectly give Danzo Shimura the confidence to cause trouble.

Even if he found out that Danzo Shimura was causing trouble, Sarutobi Hiruzen would at most just blame his good friend a few words.

After all, Danzo Shimura had long been stripped of his position as Hokage's assistant, but he was still able to secretly train Root ninjas.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen had not died and Yagyu brought Karin back to Konoha, this Pot King would definitely have secretly targeted Karin.

Yagyu didn't want to do anything that he would regret in the future, because even if he killed Danzo Shimura, it would not be able to make up for it.

Only when Sarutobi Hiruzen dies, Konoha enters the era of Tsunade, and Karin is brought back to Konoha by Tsunade, will Yagyu feel at ease.

After all, in the original work, it was not until the end of the Pain incident and Tsunade fell into a coma that Danzo Shimura found an opportunity to cause trouble.

During these three and a half years, the most he did was to arrange Sai to the new Team 7.

From this, we can see that Tsunade's deterrent power is still quite strong. If you think about it carefully, Tsunade was found by Jiraiya, and she is still the goddess that Jiraiya has always liked. Jiraiya will definitely stand on her side without thinking.

Daring to be an enemy of Tsunade means becoming an enemy of all the major ninja clans in Konoha, as well as Jiraiya and the Daimyo.

Danzo Shimura, who no longer holds the position of Hokage's assistant, does not have the confidence to cause trouble.

Soon, Yagyu came near the shadow clone.

Before he switched with his shadow clone, Yagyu saw two giant beasts fighting in the distance, causing a violent storm.

These two giant beasts are none other than the One-Tailed Shukaku released by Gaara using the sleeping technique, and the Toad Boss summoned by Naruto.

The two giant beasts used wind jutsu and water jutsu respectively, and the collision formed a violent storm that shattered Uchiha Sasuke's worldview.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen such a big monster, nor a technique with such amazing power and range.

At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke realized that Naruto, the last-place student, had surpassed him unknowingly.

The confidence and arrogance brought by learning Chidori were all destroyed at this moment.

Just one final blow away, and Uchiha Sasuke will take the first step towards turning evil.

Seeing this scene, Yagyu knew that Konoha's collapse plan was about to end.

With the help of the red eye illusion and the lightning chakra stimulation method, Yagyu quickly completed the exchange with his shadow clone.

At this time, the Otonin who were chasing them and Kankuro who was left behind were defeated by Team 8 and Nara Shikamaru under the command of Yagyu's shadow clone.

"Let's go, Naruto's battle seems to be over."

Yagyu, along with Hinata and a few others, instantly rushed towards the direction of Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

After a while, they saw Naruto and Gaara lying on the ground, and Uchiha Sasuke and Temari protecting them.

"Kankuro!"

Seeing Kankuro, who had lost consciousness and was being carried by Shino Aburame, Temari's expression suddenly changed.

Yagyu looked at Naruto lying on the ground and asked knowingly, "Was that summoned beast just now Naruto's?"

"……Um."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded with a complicated expression.

"It looks like we won."

Yagyu looked at Temari and asked, "Will you surrender or fight to the death?"

"We surrender."

Looking at Yagyu and others who were unharmed, Temari said very tactfully.

"It's a wise choice. Judging from your appearance, you must be important figures in the Sand Village. I'm afraid this incident can't do anything to you. You may meet again on the battlefield or in social interactions between the two villages in the future. I don't want to embarrass you."

Yagyu formed a seal with one hand to create a shadow clone, and let it carry Gaara, who was weak but not unconscious, but was shocked speechless by Naruto's will.

The main body warned Temari: "If you don't want your companions to get into trouble, then follow me obediently and don't play any tricks on me."

"I see."

Temari nodded obediently.

So, Yagyu and his group returned the same way.

Uchiha Sasuke also carried Naruto on his back and followed closely behind.

Looking at Yagyu's shadow clone and Gaara on its back, and hearing the unconscious breathing of the last-place competitor, Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were filled with unwillingness.

At one time, only Yagyu was stronger than him, and the gap was not very big.

But now, there are at least three people of his age who are stronger than him.

Even the last person who had been chasing him surpassed him without him noticing!
When will he, who is so weak, be able to kill that man?
Thinking of this, Uchiha Sasuke's curse seal that was sealed by the Evil Sealing Seal suddenly emitted a hot breath, causing his neck to ache slightly.

At the same time, the fascinating chakra during the Chunin Exam and the figure whose oppression was stronger than that of Zabuza Momochi and Kakashi Hatake suddenly appeared in Uchiha Sasuke's mind.

If it's that person, maybe it can make him stronger!
Yagyu didn't know what Uchiha Sasuke was thinking, and even if he knew he couldn't stop it.

After the age of seven, Uchiha Sasuke lived for revenge.

As long as he can kill Uchiha Itachi, he is willing to pay any price.

By the time Yagyu and the others returned to the central street of Konoha, the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja had already run away or died, and many people had been captured.

"I feel relieved to see that you are all right."

Yagyu led Team 8 back to the square and found Kurenai Yuhi with Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy.

Seeing Yagyu and others coming back, Yuhi Kurenai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After seeing the three captured Gaara siblings, she smiled appreciatively and said, "Well done, you have done a great job this time."

"Teacher Hong, is the war over?"

Yagyu looked at the roof of the VIP seats. The purple barrier had disappeared and the place was filled with Anbu figures wearing black cloaks.

"Ah."

Yuhi Kurenai nodded and said with a heavy face: "Hokage-sama has sacrificed himself."

Upon hearing this, Yagyu, Aburame Shino and others all looked shocked.

Of course, Yagyu's word must be enclosed in double quotes.

Kurenai Yuhi's words also announced that the era of Sarutobi Hiruzen's decades of rule had finally come to an end.

A new era is coming!
