Chapter 107 The Trampled Will of Fire

Flames shot into the sky.

Because of Asuma's persistence, civilians were forcibly evacuated, and the tilting and collapsing buildings, as well as the chakra storms caused by the clash of ninjutsu, did not affect innocent people.

but,

The enemy ninjas were not originally targeting civilians. Before the Anbu could react, Iwagakure squads had already stormed some important buildings, the power plant exploded, and the flames began to spread outwards.

The enemy ninjas, who had been lying in ambush, were stopped by the swift-reacting Konoha troops after the first two waves of surprise attacks.

Inside the Four Purple Flame Array

"As expected of the strongest Hokage, he was able to block my Lightning Release."

The voice was laced with mockery.

A, having activated his strongest Lightning Release Armor, is covered in Lightning Release chakra, making his movement incredibly fast.

The sword in his hand creates a shadow clone.

Countless sharp shuriken were flung out, forming an impenetrable iron net.

Since it's fast, let's launch a large-scale attack.

Heavy storm.

The violent energy of the Lightning Release chakra gathered at his elbow, instantly sweeping away all the shuriken and smashing into Hiruzen Sarutobi's abdomen.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was hit by the impact, turned into a puddle of mud.

"The various ninja clans are already prepared to receive your attack. Anbu, the Barrier Team, Root—your ninjas who have infiltrated Konoha are simply incapable of causing any damage to Konoha."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he unleashed a scorching fire dragon, forcing back Ai, who was trying to get close.

He felt a sense of relief, but also a lingering fear.

Thanks to Asuma's strong persuasion, otherwise Konoha would have suffered a truly huge loss.

"I was also worried that Konoha, the strongest ninja village, had a backup plan, but it turned out I was overthinking it."

Onoki let out a sneer.

The rock fist slammed heavily onto the stands, shattering the stone slabs, but Jiraiya easily dodged it.

Jiraiya asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Most of the Konoha ninjas are not wearing equipment. Even with their numerical advantage, they cannot possibly withstand our Iwagakure."

As if his words had come true,

A blood-soaked ANBU staggered to the edge of the stands and, across the four purple flame arrays, reported: "Lord Shikaku, the eastern defensive position has fallen. Fifty-nine ANBU members have been killed, along with fifty-four Chunin and five Jonin."

Shikaku looked incredulous and asked doubtfully, "How is this possible? I sent all the elite ANBU to the eastern defense line. Who led the Iwagakure team? Was it Yotsuchi?"

As a strategist, he personally selected the ninjas for the defense plans.

Whether it's the combination of ninjutsu or combat ability, even someone as strong as Huang Tu couldn't possibly be defeated so easily.

"No, just an ordinary ninja from Iwagakure."

Even through the mask, one could hear the helplessness in the voices of the Dark Guard. He said, "The aura they exude is similar to ours, or even slightly weaker."

"But they wore strange armor that seemed to enhance their abilities, and we couldn't stop them at all."

The Anbu suffered over 50 casualties, while Iwagakure only lost a dozen or so ninjas.

This level of casualty ratio is astonishing.

He pulled out a tattered suit of armor that he had risked his life to retrieve and handed it to Lu Jiu with trembling hands.

As soon as Shikaku took it, a string of black text appeared in his mind.

This is the attribute of this armor set: Energy +30.

He had heard of the quality classification of equipment. This set of armor was only a green set, yet it could bring about a turning point in the game?

He ripped off the family pendant from her neck.

Shikaku closed his eyes and said, "Take the necklace to the Nara family and tell them to head to the eastern front."

Inside the Four Purple Flame Formation, A and Onoki deliberately slowed their offensive, allowing the news of the fall of eastern Konoha to reach the Hokage's ears without missing a single word.

"Armor, equipment?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips trembled as he looked sorrowfully to the east, where thick smoke billowed and flames swirled.

He regretted it.

Their failure to accept Asuma's decision and their failure to develop life skills resulted in Konoha ninjas going into battle unarmed.

Is there really such a big difference?

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and asked, "Jiraiya, did I do something wrong?"

"Don't get distracted, old man."

Jiraiya frowned as he dodged the Dust Release technique released by Onoki.

When the opponent deliberately released the four purple flame arrays, they avoided the burning flames and maintained the integrity of the barrier, making the dark squad waiting outside increasingly anxious.

quickly,

Another secret agent reported that the western flank had fallen.

"Kumikage is wearing strangely designed leather armor and moves at an astonishing speed; there's simply no way to stop him!"

Upon hearing this,

Sarutobi's breathing became rapid. Even though he knew in his heart that the most important thing at the moment was to deal with Onoki and Ai, he still felt a sharp pain in his heart.

His own poor decision-making led to heavy casualties among the Konoha ninja.

He wasn't as cold-blooded and ruthless as Danzo. Although he had his own selfish motives, he still loved the village.

Summoning Technique: Ape Demon

A puff of smoke dissipated, and before the ape demon could speak, it had already transformed into a magic staff and was held in his hand.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were bloodshot, his anger boiling. He swung his Ruyi Jingu Bang, creating gusts of wind. His superb fighting skills actually suppressed the Raikage, who was famous for his taijutsu, for a time.

"Mizukage, aren't you going to make a move?"

Ai let out a roar.

Mei Terumi smiled without saying a word, standing quietly in the corner of the Four Purple Flame Array.

The two sides were evenly matched, and she was the key to this battle.

But she didn't want to help anyone. The longer it dragged on, the greater the advantage the elite troops in the Fog Shadow region would gain.

A major earthquake occurred.

A massive figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Susanoo?

"The Mangekyou Sharingan... it's Sasuke!"

"Willing to quit the game for the village—that's the Will of Fire of Konoha!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up, hope ignited in his heart, and he stared intently at the giant whose armor was wrapped in lightning.

Then,

Countless trees grew wildly, covering the earth and transforming into wooden dragons that entangled Susanoo, which was trying to move.

Before Onoki could even nod, the greatsword formed from black flames easily sliced ​​through the wooden dragon.

"The opponent is also a player; their burning black flames are definitely a purple-level skill, higher than Wood Release!"

Onoki's face was grim.

According to intelligence, Konoha doesn't seem to value the Samsara Game. Does Hiruzen Sarutobi mean he's an orphan of the Uchiha clan?

He managed to suppress Zi Tu with his powerful skills for a short time. Did he spend all of the Uchiha legacy into the Samsara Game?

suddenly,

The group discovered that the lightning giant, having broken free of the wooden dragon, did not attack the Iwagakure ninja, but instead sent countless Konoha ANBU flying towards the Konoha prison.

"What's going on? What is he trying to do!"

Sarutobi paused, then seemed a little dazed, suddenly realizing the worst-case scenario.

He wanted to kill Danzo, who was already imprisoned, when the Konoha ninja were suffering repeated defeats.

Was it because he protected Danzo?

Or is it about the Uchiha clan massacre?

A mixture of shame and anger made him unable to help but let out a low growl.

What about the Hyuga clan?

Where are the Hyuga clan ninjas?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with disappointment and was on the verge of collapse, feeling a sense of betrayal and alienation from everyone.

This reminded him of the silence of the Uchiha clan during the Nine-Tails' night.

puff!

In the brief moment of distraction, Ai's lightning fist was already smashing towards his face.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was sent flying backwards, and when he struggled to his feet, his face was completely disfigured.

Countless ninjas died or were injured, the village was riddled with holes, and he himself was unrecognizable...

Hands forming a mudra,

He didn't want to use it, but now he had no choice.

He absolutely could not allow his precious Will of Fire to be trampled on one after another!

"The ninjutsu that Shimura Danzo taught me as a precaution when he was imprisoned, is it really the only option left to use?"

As if wanting to preserve his last shred of dignity, Hiruzen Sarutobi said this.

Hands clasped together.

Two sturdy coffins rose from the ground, summoning the deceased who had already returned to the Pure Land.

Impure World Reincarnation!

"How dare they fool the dead!"

"Hokage, wasting time will not end well!"

I'm still writing. If I'm fast, there will be another chapter later.
