Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

On the cliff, Xingxia Xiu took the small scroll spit out from the mouth of the white phosphorus snake, opened it and took a look, and couldn't help but smile: "The time to retract the clone, haha, I didn't even realize this myself, worthy of being Orochimaru!"

"That's good too. With this flaw, the plan will fall into place."

Flames burst out from his palms, burning the scroll to ashes. Xing Xiaxiu said to the white phosphorus snake, "Go back and tell Snake Lord, I understand."

The little snake nodded, then turned around and swam away quickly.

Xingxiaxiu looked at the people below the cliff.

Kakashi, Hoshino Makoto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura.

The last three had just graduated, and their leader was Kakashi.

What is going on now is the actual test of grabbing the bell.

As an elite Jonin, Kakashi appears calm on the surface, but he is actually wary when facing the three little guys in front of him.

After all, apart from Sakura Haruno, Hoshino Shimoma and Uchiha Sasuke are all disciples of their own teacher.

Even Haruno Sakura had gone to the Root for further training, and to some extent, had been taught by her teacher Hoshita Hide.

Such a kid should not be underestimated.

There might be some unexpected tricks.

After the order was given, Uchiha Sasuke took the lead, and with both hands, shurikens whizzed through the air. He jumped up without stopping and kept throwing shurikens from high in the air.

Kakashi's body was flying, he dodged shurikens leisurely, while keeping an eye on Haruno Sakura who was making hand seals and Menma who was running around him.

"Illusion?"

"Relying on illusions to create opportunities, Menma took advantage of them to attack."

"Or perhaps, the Uchiha clan's shuriken jutsu?"

In a flash, Uchiha Sasuke's arrangement was completed. The moment his body landed on the ground, he pulled his hands back, and the steel wire was tightened so tightly that it was invisible to the naked eye.

In an instant, the shurikens distributed around Kakashi flew up again, shooting at Kakashi from different angles.

Kakashi reached into his ninja tool bag, took out a kunai, and swung his right hand, making a clanging sound, knocking all the shurikens away.

It was at this time that Haruno Sakura completed her ninjutsu.

The art of Nirvana Abode!

Feathers fell from the sky, enveloping Kakashi.

However, Kakashi acted as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Haruno Sakura gritted her teeth and said, "As expected of an elite jonin, it's completely useless."

She was very proud of having mastered an A-rank illusion at the Genin level, but she didn't expect that it would be completely useless when she faced an actual enemy for the first time.

This time, neither Uchiha Sasuke nor Haruno Sakura's actions left Kakashi with any flaws.

Menma immediately executed plan B, reached into his ninja tool bag, and threw out two shurikens, then formed seals with his hands.

Kakashi's brows jumped when he saw this and he immediately formed seals.

Sure enough, the next moment, the two shurikens suddenly became densely packed.

Multiple shuriken shadow clone techniques!

"As expected of the teacher's son..."

Kakashi sighed inwardly. A stone wall had risen in front of him. A large number of shurikens bombarded the stone wall, and smoke and dust billowed.

Menma continued to charge forward, leaped up, and completed the hand seal again.

Transformation!
But he didn't transform himself, but asked Kakashi to transform.

This move was indeed beyond Kakashi's expectations. He was hit directly and turned into a stone.

Although this transformation was broken by Kakashi's powerful chakra in just a moment, Haruno Sakura's ninjutsu had already arrived.

It's water escape.

The water rushed in.

Kakashi leaped back, avoiding the impact, but while in the air he saw lightning flashing on Uchiha Sasuke's body and Chidori chirping.

Lightning Release-Chidori!

Uchiha Sasuke plunged his right hand into the water, and electric light instantly spread across the entire surface of the water.

This wave of cooperation is just right.

"Well done!"

Kakashi secretly praised and looked at Menma again, only to see Menma forming hand seals with his hands: "Wind Style... It seems that he has a good grasp of my information."

It's sizzling!

Lightning flashed on his body, and Kakashi used Chidori Style. After his body landed on the ground, the lightning flashing from his body collided with Uchiha Sasuke's lightning. With a bang, the water surface exploded.

At the same time, Menma opened his mouth and spit out a stream of air, which formed a line and cut towards Kakashi.

Wind Style - Vacuum Wave!
At this time, Kakashi had no time to form hand seals, and the distance was so close.

Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura looked on with delight.

At this distance, it will definitely hit and cannot be avoided.

However, the next moment, Kakashi disappeared from their sight.

"So fast?"

“I didn’t even notice!”

Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura were shocked and immediately looked around.

There is nothing in front, behind, left, right, or in the sky.

"Be careful, it's underground!"

Menma shouted a reminder.

But it was too late.

A hand emerged from the ground behind Uchiha Sasuke and pulled him into the ground, leaving only his head exposed.

Next up is Haruno Sakura.

Haruno Sakura realized that something was wrong, and the rationality trained at the Root suppressed her love-brain, and she retreated repeatedly to avoid being attacked.

But suddenly, my feet sank and my whole body began to sink.

"The trap has already been set..."

Haruno Sakura's face changed drastically and she didn't dare to struggle, for fear of sinking faster.

Now we can only hope for Menma.

Haruno Sakura looked at Menma and saw the latter making hand seals. The next moment, densely packed Menma appeared.

The art of multiple shadow clones!
Now, no one can tell which one is the real one.

Moreover, many shadow clones rushed towards Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura to rescue them separately, while some of them attacked Kakashi to restrain him.

Kakashi easily defeated the shadow clones one by one, while keeping an eye on Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke.

Saving people is easy.

Uchiha Sasuke was dug out, and Haruno Sakura's shadow clones formed a line and pulled her ashore.

"Sasuke, Sakura, Plan C!"

Several Menma shouted together, and a group of people rushed towards Kakashi.

At this moment, Kakashi was facing hundreds of Menma, as well as Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura among them.

Plan C is the human wave tactic.

Menma's shadow clone feinted, while the original, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura took the opportunity to snatch the bell.

Looking at the crowd rushing towards him, Kakashi instantly understood the intentions of the three people. The next moment, electric light burst out from his body, and streams of electricity shot out. A large number of shadow clones exploded and turned into smoke.

This made the shadow clone's feint attack ineffective.

"hateful……"

Menma gritted his teeth: "We can only use the ultimate method!"

"What's the ultimate method?"

Haruno Sakura was curious.

During the previous discussion, there was no mention of any other plans besides Plan C.

Menma didn't explain. His original body and the remaining shadow clones all formed hand seals and performed a transformation technique, transforming into beautiful girls with their three points covered, surrounding Kakashi.

Harem art!

Haruno Sakura's eyes widened instantly, her mouth opened wide, and blood gushed out of her nostrils: "What the hell?"

Kakashi's body stiffened, his face began to turn red and warm, and something seemed to be flowing out of his nostrils.

Only the handsome and cool Uchiha Sasuke did not react at all, and he seized the opportunity very well, performing the instant body technique to appear behind Kakashi and grab the bell.

"Not good..."

Kakashi came to his senses and twisted his body, missing Uchiha Sasuke's hand and the bell.

But then, many Menma transformed into beautiful girls rushed over, drowning Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke. On the cliff.

Xing Xiaxiu's face twitched.

He was the one who taught the seduction technique to Nawaki, and even put the blame on Jiraiya.

Now Menma has also learned it. It must have been taught by that guy Nawaki.

And Xuanyi might have learned it too.

That guy Shengshu hasn't been beaten for a long time!

Xing Xiaxiu's eyes are dangerous.

At this moment, there was a sudden flash of lightning below, and shadow clones exploded one after another, clearing the area directly.

Menma's hair stood on end from the electric shock, and smoke was coming out of his body.

Uchiha Sasuke's right hand was burned, but he was still holding the bell.

"Success!"

Haruno Sakura was stunned.

Kakashi put his hands in his pockets and said, "Good cooperation. Congratulations, you passed."

"yeah!"

Menma jumped up and Uchiha Sasuke also smiled.

Kakashi looked at the three of them and thought to himself, "With this kind of coordination, even an ordinary jonin would be defeated by them if he didn't have enough intelligence."

On the cliff.

Xingxia Xiu was also satisfied with the performance of Menma and the others.

Even though Kakashi had let off a lot of steam, he only used Lightning Release and Earth Release, and not many ninjutsu.

But who is Kakashi?

In the entire ninja world, apart from the Kage of each village, there are not many who can defeat him.

Nagato is one, Minato Namikaze is one, and Uchiha Shisui is one.

No one else is sure of winning.

Of course, this does not include Might Guy opening eight gates.

After all, Kakashi, who has mastered the Yin Seal and has the Storm Release Kekkei Genkai, actually has the strength comparable to that of the Kages of various villages.

His fighting ability has surpassed that of his father, Konoha White Fang.

Even the current Konoha.

Apart from Hoshita Hide himself, the only ones who can definitely defeat Kakashi are Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina.

Tsunade is not good at fighting. Jiraiya can use Sage Mode, but Kakashi can also use Sage Mode.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is already old and frail, so it cannot be said that he will win for sure.

Although Nawaki's Wood Release is stronger than Yamato in the original timeline, and he also masters the Sage Mode, he can only perform the Wood Dragon Technique at most, and it cannot be said that he is a sure winner.

Uchiha Shisui with the Mangekyo, Kotoamatsukami plus Susanoo, and the unique instant body movement technique can win.

After all, Uchiha Shisui also had a cheat from Hoshishita, who transplanted Hashirama's cells into him to avoid the defect of blindness caused by excessive use of his pupil power.

of course.

Once Kakashi mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, there would be even fewer people who could win with certainty.

……

He stood up, retracted his gaze, and then disappeared from the cliff.

In the experimental base.

Xingxia Xiu released Uchiha Madara's body from the Kamui space.

Next, he will retrieve the clone on time and let Orochimaru take away Uchiha Madara's cells.

After making the arrangements, Xing Xiaxiu left the experimental base and returned home.

"Hey, Tsunade, why are you so early today?"

Xingxia Xiu was very surprised to see Tsunade at home.

Although Tsunade is not particularly busy on weekdays, most of the time she leaves the work to her subordinates.

But it's still rare to come back so early.

Tsunade said lazily: "I plan to hand over the position of Hokage to Minato in two years."

Xing Xiaxiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's not bad to retire and enjoy life."

"Minato is indeed suitable to be Hokage, wait until he gets rid of Black Zetsu and Kaguya Otsutsuki!"

Tsunade smiled and said, "It's settled then!"

"Let's go to the hot springs today."

Seeing Tsunade so interested, Xingxia Xiu nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's spend some time alone today!"

With that, he grabbed Tsunade and the two of them disappeared from the house.

Inside the hot spring house.

The two of them scrubbed each other's body, and then gradually turned it into underwater exercise.

After coming out of the hot spring house, Xingxia Xiu took Tsunade to Tansho Street and killed everyone in the casino.

Of course, the one who dominated was Xing Xiaxiu.

The big fat sheep is still a big fat sheep. All the money Xingxiaxiu won was spent by Tsunade. Not only did he not make a penny at the end, he even lost 10,000 taels.

When I came out of the gambling house, the sky was already filled with sunset glow.

Xingxia Xiu and Tsunade were walking on the street, the sunset glow fell on them, stretching their shadows very long.

After eating two skewers of meatballs on the street, Tsunade finally had enough and said with a smile, "Let's go home!"

"As you command, Your Highness Princess!"

Xingxia Xiu chuckled and disappeared from the spot with Tsunade.

Time passes day by day.

In the blink of an eye, it was July.

The Chunin Examination began as usual, but it was not held in conjunction with other ninja villages.

On this day, Xing Xia Xiu took back his clone from the experimental base.

And soon, a small white phosphorus snake crawled into the experimental base.

After entering the experimental base, the little white phosphorus snake opened its mouth, which was huge, and a hand stretched out from it.

Soon, Orochimaru crawled out of the snake's mouth.

Even though it was just acting, Orochimaru was serious.

It sneaked in quietly, extracted the bone marrow from Uchiha Madara's body, and then put it back into the snake's stomach. Then the little white phosphorus snake sneaked out of the experimental base quietly.

Mountain cemetery.

A White Zetsu emerged from the ground and said to Zetsu, "Orochimaru has successfully obtained Madara-sama's cells."

Uzumaki White Zetsu asked, "Will he honestly follow our plan?"

"He should be well aware that he can't possibly control Madara-sama, right?"

Black Zetsu laughed, "He will, because he is Orochimaru."

"Besides, we have plans for the future."

"It's still very difficult to open the Rinnegan just relying on Hashirama's cells and a little bit of Madara-sama's cells."

"But if you get Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, it will be different."

Uzumaki Hakuzetsu understood: "Uchiha Sasuke, the new reincarnation of Indra, is indeed very attractive."

"However, if Orochimaru dares to set his sights on him, he will be beaten to death by Xingxia Xiu, right?"

Black Zetsu said gloomily: "So we must have a backup plan."

"I think Orochimaru's assistant at the experimental base in the Land of Wind is pretty good."

Uzumaki White Zetsu thought for a moment before he remembered who it was: "The guy named Kabuto?"

"Apart from his peculiar physique, there doesn't seem to be anything special about him."

"That guy seems to be Scorpion's pawn, right?"

Black Zetsu chuckled: "Don't underestimate anyone."

"If Orochimaru dies, then support him."

"If Orochimaru could complete the plan, then this wouldn't be so troublesome."

Uzumaki Hakuzetsu laughed and said, "Madara-sama will probably be very dissatisfied with my resurrection in this way!" (End of this chapter)
