I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"Teacher, playing with fire carelessly is not a good habit."

Orochimaru glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye and spoke to Hiruzen Sarutobi in a teasing tone.

Orochimaru, what exactly do you want to do?

Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed Orochimaru's state; there was no murderous intent emanating from her, and she seemed to want to play with him.

"I just wanted to go back to Konoha for a visit, and it just so happens that the Chunin Exams are happening, so I thought I'd leave some opportunities for the kids?"

Orochimaru said jokingly, "The main reason I sneaked in to watch the show is that I couldn't afford the scalped tickets that cost 10,000 taels each."

Her expression instantly turned aggrieved. "But who knew you'd start fighting without warning? I was the one who was completely clueless."

"You fart!"

If it weren't for the large number of ninjas wearing black cloaks acting collectively, Hiruzen Sarutobi would almost have believed Orochimaru's lies.

It has to be said that Orochimaru's choice of appearance was indeed very effective in winning the sympathy of others, after all, beautiful women have special privileges.

"If you want to overthrow Konoha, I can only say don't even think about it!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke solemnly, secretly forming a hand seal before spitting out a fireball into the sky.

Bang

The fireball exploded in the sky, and the next moment, a series of urgent alarms sounded throughout Konoha Village. The ninjas sprang into action, and the villagers immediately began to move and flee.

"Yo?"

"Disaster prevention and early warning?"

Orochimaru said in surprise, not expecting that Hiruzen Sarutobi had taken such action since the Nine-Tails' attack, preparing a plan to deal with the disaster in advance.

From this perspective, the purpose of Orochimaru and Chiaki's plan to destroy Konoha may no longer be necessary.

Even in times of peace, Konoha is always on guard against disasters. Unlike in the original story, after witnessing the Kage-level threat of Chiaki and Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sense of crisis.

In this drastically changed world, if you don't prepare in advance, you might not even know how you died.

"Can't you think of it?"

"Orochimaru! Your invasion of Konoha this time was an absolutely terrible mistake!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi wore a satisfied expression. "This time, I won't let you escape!"

"Um……"

Orochimaru pursed his lips, fiddled with his hair, and said with a grin, "Since you've already prepared a disaster warning system, let me test whether Konoha's protective system is actually effective."

"Psychic Art"

"Ten thousand snakes!"

Orochimaru casually bit his finger, then quickly formed hand seals and pressed them to the ground.

boom

A gigantic, ferocious venomous snake appeared in Konoha Village, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Chapter 636 Top Advantage

"Qianqiu, why did you do this?"

Jiraiya looked at Chiaki, who was blocking his way, with a puzzled expression. He glanced at Manda, which was rampaging through Konoha, and the snakes summoned by Orochimaru, and said with a pained expression, "If you keep stopping me, Konoha might be destroyed!"

"Jiraiya-sensei, if Konoha were to be destroyed without us..."

"Then it would be better to just destroy Konoha."

Chiaki spoke calmly, words that shocked Jiraiya.

"Why do you say that? Since we are in Konoha, we must protect Konoha."

"The Will of Fire lives on. As long as we are Konoha ninjas, we should dedicate ourselves to Konoha, protect it, and safeguard the growth of the next generation!"

Jiraiya's face was filled with radiance. He genuinely wanted to carry forward the Will of Fire and wholeheartedly protect Konoha and nurture the next generation.

Qianqiu sighed softly. Coming from Earth, she had witnessed too many examples of children ruined by overprotection. Often, it was because the parents were too powerful that their children achieved nothing.

This is the current situation in Konoha.

In the past, or in the original story, Konoha had very few Kage-level ninjas. Minato died, White Fang died, and the legendary Sannin either left or betrayed the village. Konoha was completely held up by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Konoha is a place where countless geniuses are born to protect the village, using the sacrifices of the previous generation as nourishment to inherit the Will of Fire and continue to grow.

After all, Konoha is located in an extremely comfortable place with a large population, so it's normal that the proportion of geniuses is higher than in other countries.

But now?

Konoha is extremely powerful, with Kage-level shinobi appearing one after another.

Because of Chiaki, Sakumo didn't die, Minato and Kushina were also unharmed, and Kakashi even became a Kage.

At the same time, Chiaki himself, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, three Super Kage, were protecting him.

The Konoha 12 are indeed much stronger than in the original story, but because their strength is excessive, they have no respect for war or life and death.

In their minds, no matter what they did, Konoha could take responsibility.

In any case, the problem will eventually be solved.

This kind of thinking is very bad. If Chiaki and the other Kage-level beings leave or disappear, what will happen to the remaining children of Konoha? How will they resist the invasion of the other major powers?

Can't understand?

Just wait and see what Boruto will bring.

After Konoha acquired the top-tier Naruto and Sasuke, how did the lower-ranking ninjas fall into depravity? How did Boruto become so incompetent? And how vulnerable was Konoha after Naruto and Sasuke fell? All of these are clearly revealed in Boruto.

For the sake of a better Konoha, Chiaki must carry out this plan to destroy Konoha.

If the leaves don't fall, they will keep growing, thus affecting the growth of other leaves.

After all, without withered and fallen leaves, how can new leaves be provided with nutrients?

I learned this simple concept in junior and senior high school biology:

During the growth and development of plants, the terminal bud has a certain restrictive relationship with the lateral buds. When the terminal bud grows vigorously, the growth of the lateral buds will be inhibited. This phenomenon is called apical dominance.

If the terminal bud is removed, the lateral buds will quickly develop into branches. In production practice, people often use the principle of apical dominance in plants to adjust the growth and development of terminal and lateral buds, thereby increasing the yield of crops and fruit trees as well as the ornamental value of flowers.

This is why Chiaki decided to carry out the plan and prevent Jiraiya from going to the rescue.

Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi must have been aware of this problem and prepared disaster warning measures in advance, but that was not enough.

It is imperative to make all the ninjas in Konoha truly aware of the crisis.

The ninja world is a place full of dangers.

Chiaki still has the impression of that scene, which is almost the most classic scene in Naruto.

How many floors do you have to carry a bag of rice up? You have to carry a bag of rice up to the second floor!

Classics will live on forever; this thing will never be forgotten, no matter how many generations pass.

The thought that her old house in Senju might be razed to the ground in the future made her feel sad.

Well.

In short, if this plan to destroy Konoha is executed well, it will be entirely beneficial to Konoha.

If there's any downside, it's that it made the ninjas of Konoha remember Orochimaru's terror, and the terror of the Super Kage, right?

what?

What do you think we should do about the buildings that Konoha lost and the ninjas who were injured or killed?

Are these things that Qianqiu needs to consider?

These are all things the Hokage needs to consider! (With complete confidence)

After Orochimaru had already restrained his subordinates from killing indiscriminately, and even instructed Manda to only eat ninjas from other countries, if Konoha still suffered casualties, then it could only be said that these unlucky souls were sacrifices offered up to make Konoha better (just kidding).

Withered or poorly developed leaves also need to be pruned; only in this way can plants grow better.

"...You've gone mad...Chiaki, have you really started to lose your emotions?"

Jiraiya stared at Chiaki in disbelief, unable to comprehend her theory.

In his view, anyone who is a Konoha ninja, within his reach, deserves to be saved and protected.

This is Jiraiya's Will of Fire; he will dedicate everything to protecting Konoha.

“Jiraiya-sensei, these are all necessary actions.”

Qianqiu said sadly, "If we don't take this step, even more people may die in the future."

After all, no one can guarantee that Nagato's Rinne Reincarnation Technique can truly revive all the ninjas of Konoha.

In the original story, if half of the people were revived, Konoha would have already gained a lot.

What Qianqiu needs to do and protect is far more than just that half of the people.

If possible, she hopes to protect everyone in Konoha and help them grow stronger.

In the original story, Pain alone was enough to destroy Konoha, and now there is also Obito, who is constantly being nurtured and willing to fight.

Imagine.

If Chiaki is tied up by Obito, and Jiraiya is tied up by Nagato and Konan, then Pain, who secretly sneaked into Konoha, is going to be dealt with by Orochimaru, who is a Konoha rogue ninja, or by White Fang or Minato, who are at a complete disadvantage against Pain?

Even if we manage to block it, what if Obito goes crazy and pulls out the Gedo Mazo, that ultimate weapon?

Anyway, there's a big problem.

The more Qianqiu knew, the more worried she became.

Compared to Jiraiya, who only focuses on the present, Chiaki is clearly more in the right.

Chapter 637 Future or Present?

"I don't know what you're worried about, Chiaki."

Jiraiya said to Chiaki, word by word, "Perhaps what you said is correct, but I don't understand it."
