I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Luo Sha felt like he had a bitter pill to swallow. Didn't Ma Ji, this straightforward guy, know how to be flexible?

Who would lay a hand on someone in this kind of situation?

Moreover, he was the one who started it, so he was at a disadvantage both morally and logically!

"What's going on with this situation offstage? Hmm?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned cold. Such a big problem had occurred in the Chunin Exams held by Konoha. It was a loss of face for Konoha.

For a moment, Rasa also felt a little uncomfortable with Hiruzen Sarutobi's questioning.

He was, after all, the Kazekage of the Land of Wind. It was true that the two countries were allies, and his own family had developed thanks to Konoha.

But that doesn't mean our Land of Wind is necessarily your Land of Fire's little brother.

Luo Sha also has dignity, you know.

"Third Hokage, given the current situation, I think it would be more appropriate to investigate thoroughly before drawing any conclusions."

Luo Sha's tone also hardened; his many years as the Wind Shadow had gradually tempered his temper.

"Oh?"

"What do you mean?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes flashed, and a terrifying aura once again erupted from his aged body.

He is truly vigorous despite his advanced age.

Even though this guy is quite old, he still possesses the aura and charisma befitting a peak Shadow-level character, which is truly terrifying.

In an era when the First and Second Hokage were absent and there were few peak-level Kage in the ninja world, it was understandable that people called the Third Hokage the strongest Hokage.

However, now that Chiaki has lifted the restrictions on the world and raised the level of the entire world, there are more and more ninjas who can reach the peak of the Kage level.

At least the few Kage sitting here now are all at the peak of Kage level.

As the saying goes, strength can give people confidence. Rasa, who has also reached the peak of Kage level, is not afraid of the aging Hiruzen Sarutobi. He wants to befriend the entire Hidden Leaf Village, but if the Hidden Leaf Village insists on suppressing him, then he's sorry.

"Third Hokage, I think the focus should be on investigating this matter. What do you think?"

A terrifying aura also rose from Rasa's body, and he seemed to be on par with Hiruzen Sarutobi, and they began to fight each other.

Huh?

Are the nations of Wind and Fire about to go to war?

Doesn't that mean our chance to take down Konoha has come?

The Fourth Raikage, A, who was sitting to the side watching the show, suddenly had a bright idea.

Seeing such a golden opportunity, how could Ai not fan the flames?

He spoke sarcastically, "Alright, Third Hokage, it's still unclear what Kakashi Hatake might do to someone else's Jinchūriki, so why are you blaming the Kazekage first?"

Yes, that fits his persona perfectly!

Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, who was practically on the same page as the Fourth Raikage A in terms of the strategic goal of defeating Konoha, immediately spoke up, "Raikage kid, don't say that. I think we should investigate first."

On the surface, Onoki was acting as a peacemaker, easing the tension, but in reality, he was still on Rasa's side.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned. How cunning he was! He realized what was going on the moment Rasa, Onoki, and A joined forces.

However, before Hiruzen Sarutobi could speak, Mei Terumi spoke first.

"What do you want to do?"

"This is the Chunin Exams!"

"Let's talk about the investigation later. The most important thing is to calm things down first, isn't it?"

She also released the aura of a peak Shadow-level expert. "If anyone is not satisfied, then we can give it a try."

Mei Terumi's face was filled with anger. Compared to Rasa, who was a double agent, she was a pure Konoha supporter.

As long as Chiaki remains in Konoha, Mei Terumi's heart will always be with Konoha, and the Land of Water will always be a steadfast ally of Konoha.

Holy crap, where did all these peak-level Kage-level beings come from?

Onoki and Ai exchanged a glance and silently concealed their presence.

They're both from the previous era, so it's not surprising that they've reached the peak of the Shadow level.

The problem is... how old is Mei Terumi?

Moreover, Mei Terumi and Chiaki have a very good relationship. What if you offend her and that woman comes after you?

In other words, Chiaki has been quiet in recent years, almost living in seclusion in Konoha.

Other Kage-level figures in Konoha have either left or gone into seclusion, making Konoha appear relatively weak.

Otherwise, how could Rasa dare to jump? If all those hidden Kage-level fighters were to show themselves, the other countries would have to unite to prevent Konoha from becoming the sole superpower.

"Stop making a scene?"

"Let's calm things down down there first."

Seeing that Onoki and A had concealed their auras, and that Rasa was also beginning to waver, Mei Terumi simply suppressed her own aura. "Third Hokage, then please step in and organize this."

After receiving Mei Terumi's offer, Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted and suppressed his aura. Rasa looked around and, finding no one supporting him, also backed down.

In an instant, the five shadows became harmonious again.

Mei Terumi played the decisive role, as expected.

Young, capable, and backed by powerful figures.

In other words, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the next ten or twenty years will be hers.

"Alright, let's appease them first before making any plans."

Hiruzen Sarutobi followed Mei Terumi's lead and nodded in agreement. Just as they were about to speak up to comfort her, a gloomy, hoarse voice made their expressions change simultaneously.

"Hehehe, what's going on here?"

"A bunch of shadows playing house here?"

"If you don't like it, just take action. Who are you trying to impress with this pretense?"

Buzz

A terrifying aura surged into the sky, instantly suppressing the five figures.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of ninjas wearing black cloaks appeared in the Chunin Exams arena, and they all raised their fingers at the same time.

"Illusion! The Nirvana Abode Technique!"

Suddenly, a sky full of white feathers enveloped the entire venue, and everyone who came into contact with the feathers fell into a drowsy sleep.

Meanwhile, Maki and Kakashi's groups, who were facing off on the battlefield, changed their expressions drastically and simultaneously stopped their standoff.

"what happened?"

Might Guy stared blankly at the feathers falling from the sky, completely bewildered. Kurenai Yuhi, the leader of Konoha's genjutsu-type ninjas, shouted sharply, "This is genjutsu! Use your chakra to break the genjutsu!"

"Someone is attacking Konoha!"

Chapter 634 The Destruction Plan of Konoha

"Team One, Team Two, head south."

"Teams three and four, head north."

"Fifth and sixth teams, head east."

"The rest of you, come with me."

Wearing a black cloak, Kabuto calmly commanded a group of ninjas who were far stronger and older than him.

However, not a single ninja on the scene dared to question Kabuto's command; on the contrary, they trusted him implicitly.

The reason is simple: Kabuto possesses something that terrifies them.

poison.

Since Kabuto completed his apprenticeship under Yakushi Nonou and started working under Orochimaru, his mastery of poison techniques has become unparalleled.

You never know when you'll be given those colorless and odorless toxins, and then your hands and feet will develop sores, and your mouth and nose will bleed.

That feeling of being worse than dead is something no one wants to experience again.

Compared to Orochimaru, who had already suppressed most of the darker aspects of his personality and was more concerned with the wishes of the test subjects, the young Kabuto had no idea what it meant to act with restraint.

In the Hidden Sound Village, the ninjas feared Kabuto far more than they feared Orochimaru.

"Listen carefully, you must complete Lord Orochimaru's orders!"

Kabuto said sternly to the ninjas wearing black cloaks, "If I find out that anyone has failed to complete the order, I will let him know what it truly means to wish he were dead!"

"Yes!"

The ninjas below, who were being reprimanded, trembled and responded to Kabuto's reprimand in a low voice.

"very good."

Kabuto was extremely pleased with the fear and terror the ninjas showed in the face of him.

Children of this age often don't understand how to earn genuine respect.

Well.

However, for Orochimaru and Kabuto, it didn't really matter whether these ninjas were there or not.

With their help, it's just to make things easier for myself; they're all just tools.

When dealing with people who are merely tools, it's enough to use their fear to make them obedient.

"Finally... for Lord Orochimaru!"

His eyes gleamed, and he roared in a low voice with a fanatical tone.

Upon hearing the name "Orochimaru," the group of people who were afraid of Kabuto suddenly became excited and roared with the same fervor as Kabuto.

Most of these ninjas were desperate outlaws who had reached the limits of their ninja careers; they would do anything for money and enjoyment.

For them, the only pursuit in life is pleasure, and they are already thinking about how to enjoy pleasure better.
