A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

Squeak!

At this point, the battle on the battlefield had reached a fever pitch.

A very sharp and piercing sound interrupted Zhou Cheng's thoughts and attracted his attention.

Looking around, Zhou Cheng saw that Sasuke had indeed conjured a ball of lightning in his right hand.

The dazzling electric arcs flickered and burst incessantly.

Even the spectators in the stands, from that great distance, could feel the immense energy contained within the lightning ball.

And so.

Everyone was shocked.

Techniques like Chidori are beyond the capabilities of ordinary genin in various villages.

Tatata!

With the Chidori accompanying his high-speed charge, Sasuke arrived beside Gaara with overwhelming force.

To be precise, it rushed straight into the sand sphere that Gaara had conjured.

This is Gaara's ultimate defense, with no blind spots from any angle, a defense that is truly without any flaws.

No matter where or from what angle the enemy attacks, it's all in vain, because Gaara has completely hidden himself inside the sand sphere.

To hit Gaara, you must break through that sand ball defense.

Putting aside the hardness of that sand sphere shell, ordinary genin simply couldn't break it; they wouldn't even have a chance to make a move.

Because once you get close, sharp sand spears will condense on the sand sphere and launch a thunderous attack on the enemy!

But it's a pity.

Sasuke used Chidori.

The Chidori's attack power and speed both exceed the scope of a genin.

boom!

Before the sand spears that shot out from the sand sphere could hit him, Sasuke had already broken through the shell of the sand sphere and injured Gaara inside!

"No way, it actually broke Gaara's absolute defense?"

Kankuro nearly popped his eyes out of their sockets.

"impossible!"

Temari was equally dumbfounded.

Not to mention these two young people, even a senior like Ma Ji was dumbfounded.

That kid from Konoha is just too damn overpowered!

"As expected of Sasuke."

Zhou Cheng, however, was not surprised at all.

To be honest, Sasuke at this time could indeed be described as a prodigy.

In a novel, it would be the template for an unparalleled genius.

Unfortunately, no matter how talented Sasuke is, he's not the main character, and he was quickly surpassed by Naruto, who had a cheat code.

Unable to withstand the stimulation, Erzhuzi then joined Orochimaru's group.

Of course.

That was the original development; as for now, well, that's hard to say.

Because of the flapping of a butterfly's wings, no one knows where the wheels of history will turn.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to this classic battle, Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, silently made a hand gesture.

"Let's get started!"

"Now!"

Maki and the other people who had been lying in wait immediately understood.

One of the ninjas, disguised as a member of the Konoha Anbu, immediately began to cast a genjutsu.

The audience members immediately saw feathers falling from the sky.

He was hypnotized repeatedly and collapsed to the ground.

Whizzing!

The other two Sand Village ninjas took out two gas bombs and threw them out, which exploded on the spot.

Amidst the billowing smoke, the sound of explosions also spread.

"It's a signal!"

The Sand Village ninjas lying in ambush outside Konoha Village immediately perked up.

Without further ado, they quickly began to take action.

Several ninjas sat side by side on the ground, following the large sculpted pattern that had been drawn beforehand.

They planned to activate a massive teleportation array together to send all the Sand Village ninjas outside into Konoha Village.

however……

Chi Chi Chi!

Chi Chi Chi!

A sharp, piercing sound immediately rang out.

But then, one shuriken after another began to shoot in from all directions.

Several of the ninjas who were trying to activate the technique to teleport the Sand Ninja army were caught off guard and killed on the spot.

"They're Konoha ninjas!"

"We've been exposed!"

The Sand Village ninjas were all bewildered as to what was happening.

They were all shocked and furious.

Little did they know that the moment they lay in ambush outside Konoha Village, they were clearly detected by Yamanaka Inoichi's sensory team.

Every move they made afterward was under Konoha's watchful eye.

These Sand Village ninja thought they had ambushed Konoha, but in reality, they had fallen into an ambush themselves.

Whoosh whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh!

And then...

The sound of something cutting through the air was incessant, and one shadow after another sprang up.

All the Konoha ninjas who had been lying in wait jumped out.

In the blink of an eye, they had surrounded the Sand Village ninjas.

"Damn it, we've been exposed long ago."

"Konoha already knew about our plan!"

The faces of all the Sand Village ninjas were extremely grim.

In contrast, the situation in the arena within Konoha Village was much better.

As the Sand Village ninjas sprang into action, Orochimaru also made his move.

Swish!

The opponent immediately sprang into action, appearing in front of the Third Hokage in a flash and quickly subduing him.

The cold kunai was pressed against the Third Hokage's neck.

boom!

Then, Orochimaru, holding the Third Hokage hostage, rushed to the rooftop.

The Sound Ninja quartet, who had been lying in ambush, all appeared at once.

"I was so suffocated!"

"It's finally our turn!"

"You two, don't be so impatient!"

The Sound Four were all eager to fight, their fighting spirit high.

"Damn it, I have to go help the Hokage!"

The Konoha ANBU ninja witnessed this scene and were both shocked and furious.

They all used their Body Flicker Technique and rushed towards the Third Hokage and his group.

"Let's do it!"

But Orochimaru gave the order.

The Sound Ninja group quickly formed hand seals and then simultaneously slammed their hands on the ground.

"Ninja Technique·Four Purple Flame Formation!"

Swish!

As the Sound Four acted, a rectangular, enclosed energy shield instantly enveloped the Third Hokage and Orochimaru.

"Oh no, it's a barrier!"

The Konoha ninjas around them looked rather grim.

If it's a barrier, they really don't have any way to deal with it; the Hokage is probably really trapped inside.

They could only watch helplessly from the outside.

"The Four Purple Flame Formation?"

But the Third Hokage, who had been held hostage by Orochimaru, couldn't help but scoff and exclaim, "It seems you've really gone to great lengths... Orochimaru!"

???

Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, was caught off guard. It turned out that the Third Hokage had known his identity all along.

When?

When did I expose myself?

Orochimaru quickly recalled the entire process of his infiltration into Konoha, but found no flaws.

What exactly went wrong?

Orochimaru couldn't figure it out.

Because of this, Orochimaru began to have a very bad feeling.

He felt that the situation was no longer under his control.

"It's been a long time, teacher."

However, now that his true colors had been exposed by the Third Hokage, Orochimaru stopped pretending.

He ripped off his hat and mask, revealing his true face.

He even unconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

It resembles a venomous snake.

"It's unbelievable that you're getting older, but also more perceptive."

"So, you already knew who I was all along?"

Orochimaru asked the Third Hokage the question that had been on his mind.

Orochimaru, are you really going to kill me?

"Stop now! This is my final advice!"

The Third Hokage spoke to Orochimaru from the bottom of his heart.

"You know yourself that you're just talking nonsense, don't you?"

Orochimaru remained unmoved, pressing the kunai in his hand even closer to the Third Hokage's neck. "Don't rush, the real show is just beginning."

"Orochimaru, I gave you one last chance, but you didn't seize it."

The third generation didn't say anything more. "This time, I won't let you go again."

"You regret it."

"Did you regret letting me leave back then, teacher?"

"But unfortunately, it's too late!"

As Orochimaru finished speaking, his voice suddenly turned cold, and he abruptly turned to kill the Third Hokage.

laugh!

Orochimaru's kunai pierced directly into the Third Hokage's neck.

This completely stunned Orochimaru. How could things have gone so smoothly?

This is impossible!

Even if his teacher was old, he couldn't possibly be so useless as to be so easily killed by him.

If the Third Hokage were really so easy to kill, why would he have made such a big fuss?

"not good!"

Orochimaru increasingly sensed a conspiracy.

Sure enough, the next moment.

Orochimaru then saw the Third Hokage, whom he had stabbed to death, suddenly turn into a pile of mud and scatter on the ground.

That wasn't the Third Hokage at all, but rather the Third Hokage's earth clone.

"We've fallen for their trap!"

Orochimaru certainly understood this.

Orochimaru!

A voice rang out, and the Third Hokage himself appeared outside the Four Purple Flame Array.

Behind the Third Hokage followed a large number of Konoha ninja.

There were ninjas from the Anbu, as well as some Jonin from the village.

Orochimaru and the four Sound Ninja were completely surrounded within the Four Purple Flame Formation.

The Third Hokage wasn't stupid. Once he confirmed that Orochimaru had indeed infiltrated Konoha as described in his diary and had even attacked Sasuke, how could he not be on guard?

Considering that he had already used the Reaper Death Seal, Orochimaru must have meticulously planned to force him to that point.

The Third Hokage knew very well that the Reaper Death Seal was a last resort!

That's why the Third Hokage kept using a clone to deal with Orochimaru, just to see what Orochimaru would do next.

I can only say that he truly deserves to be my good student; he certainly did not disappoint me.

"It's really embarrassing, isn't it? I've been caught in your trap all this time."

"So you knew about my plan all along, teacher?"

"It seems that the ninjas from Sunagakure didn't break in after all."

"Did they betray me? A bunch of unreliable guys."

After some thought, Orochimaru subconsciously began to suspect the Sand Village.

After all, Orochimaru runs the Sound Village himself, and all the ninjas are loyal to him, so there's no way something could go wrong.

Then the only possibility is Sunagakure.

The Third Hokage didn't offer any explanation for Orochimaru, but simply said with some heartache, "I've already given you a chance."

If Orochimaru had only been conducting human experiments in secret, the Third Hokage might have spared him out of consideration for their teacher-student relationship.

But now?

Orochimaru wants to kill him and destroy Konoha!

The Third Hokage has truly given up on Orochimaru.

"You seem a little too confident, teacher."

"My plan has indeed failed, but can you really keep me here?"

Orochimaru stopped there and immediately gave the Sound Four orders to dispel the Four Purple Flame Formation.

Whoosh whoosh!

Orochimaru himself didn't waste any words and immediately began to flee into the distance.

Konoha had clearly made preparations long ago; if they delayed any longer, Orochimaru feared he really wouldn't be able to leave.

"Chase!"

At the Third Hokage's command, he personally led a group of ninjas in pursuit.

"The Third Hokage was so powerful, he knew about Orochimaru's plan all along?"

"Orochimaru actually fled in disarray?"

"What kind of magical turn of events is this?!"

Zhou Cheng, who was secretly observing the situation, was completely baffled.

This is completely different from the Konoha Crush plan I remember.

But that's precisely what makes it so interesting.

Zhou Cheng really wanted to see what would happen if things continued like this.

Whoosh!

Without saying a word, he chased after them.

A fierce battle broke out right under Zhou Cheng's nose.

Orochimaru escaped methodically under the cover of the Sound Village ninjas, and at a crucial moment, he used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon the First and Second Hokage as his helpers.

As for that guy who was an unknown fourth generation, he was stopped in advance by the third generation, just like in the anime.

Even so, the first and second generations alone were enough to give the third generation and others a run for their money.

So the result was not unexpected for Zhou Cheng; Orochimaru successfully escaped.

Regardless, this is still Orochimaru.

Characters who survive until the very end are not so easily dealt with.

However, the chaos caused by the Sand Village ninja continued, and it took more than an hour to finally end.

Fortunately, Konoha had laid an ambush beforehand, so the great battle did not break out in the village, and the damage to Konoha was not too great.

Therefore, Orochimaru and his team can be said to have completely failed in their plan to destroy Konoha this time.

The Third Hokage didn't die at all, and even Konoha didn't suffer much damage.

This is completely different from the Konoha Crush plan I had in mind.

Zhou Cheng had a sudden thought and wrote down these thoughts in his diary.

The Konoha Crush plan has ended, but it has been a complete failure.

[The Third Hokage didn't die at all; we didn't see the famous scene where the Reaper Death Seal sealed away his hands.]

[But if that's the case, then Itachi Uchiha wouldn't have come to Konoha to make his presence felt just to support his younger brother, right?]

[Heh, Itachi Uchiha, isn't he one of the two biggest traitors in the Uchiha clan?]

[To wipe out one's entire clan with one's own hands—that's far more ruthless than that other traitor, Shisui.]

[It's such a pity about Shisui's eyes. The world's strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, was stolen by that old scoundrel Danzo.] (End of Chapter)
