Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 151 Hello One-Tail, Goodbye One-Tail (10,000 words, please subscribe)

Kakashi has only one feeling right now.

Konoha's Sky

too dark!

Naruto was his disciple, so he naturally knew exactly what level Naruto was at.

Although he performed well, he was still the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and he also had Jiraiya by his side for the past month, helping him improve his strength.

However, Naruto's Nine-Tails ability has never been developed. No matter how powerful Jiraiya is, it's impossible for him to make a qualitative leap in Naruto in a short period of time, right?

And what about Hyuga Neji?

Although it was a branch family, a year after graduation, the Jonin leading the team was still his good friend Guy.

Hyuga is extremely skilled in taijutsu, and Guy is one of the strongest taijutsu users in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

The two combined are a powerful alliance, and at least in Kakashi's opinion, Naruto's chances of winning are really too slim.

"Is this to give Hinata 'face'?"

Kakashi propped his head up in distress. After listening to so much about "human relationships and social customs" from Hidezawa, it was really hard for him not to think about it in that direction.

This made Kakashi somewhat annoyed.

"Yosh! I didn't expect to be the first one!"

In contrast to Kakashi's frustration, Naruto was quite excited.

He wasn't thinking about any of that nonsense; he quickly rushed outside.

He now possesses quite a few abilities, such as the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique," the "Summoning Technique," and a half-baked "Rasengan"!

Jiraiya's special training did have some effect on him, and the current Naruto is indeed quite different from the original him.

Even if Orochimaru hadn't sealed away the rebellious Nine-Tails chakra within him, Jiraiya's presence wouldn't have been a problem.

In addition, with Hideaki's guidance, he stopped thinking about pranks all the time. Even though his grades couldn't compare to Sasuke, Shikamaru, and others, he was still able to focus on his studies.

This situation also unexpectedly made him much stronger in his ability to learn techniques!

As the two contestants entered the arena, enthusiastic cheers immediately erupted.

Influenced by the cheers and shouts from the stands, Naruto felt his blood boiling.

Upon seeing Neji opposite him, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"This guy is so calm."

Compared to Naruto's excitement, Neji's demeanor could only be described as calm.

Perhaps because of Hidezawa's blatant manipulation behind the scenes, Hinata never encountered Neji.

This time, their battle wasn't as tense as it used to be, and Sasuke couldn't help but ask Karin a question from the stands.

"Do you think Naruto has a chance?"

"."

Karin glanced at Sasuke with a puzzled look, but after thinking for a moment, she nodded.

"There's definitely hope, let's watch it carefully."

After saying that, Karin didn't say anything more. She had actually asked Hidezawa about the situation of this assessment.

Hidezawa seems to think highly of Naruto, but Karin wouldn't say that out loud.

"Is everything ready?"

Genma Shiranui, acting as the referee, glanced at the two men while holding a senbon needle in his mouth, and then announced.

"The competition begins!"

After saying that, he quickly left the spot, handing the battleground over to the two participants.

As he made his announcement, Naruto gradually calmed down. Although he could still hear the cheers and clamor from the stands, all he could see in the arena was Hyuga Neji.

"Naruto Uzumaki? I've heard Guy-sensei mention you before."

Just then, Neji suddenly spoke up.

"He told me that you have always been optimistic, even when everyone was hostile and rejected you. In the end, you became a qualified ninja and made friends."

"Forehead"

Naruto paused for a moment, not quite understanding what Neji meant, but he nodded nonetheless.

"I was lucky to meet a good person who was willing to guide me when I went astray. Although he had a bad temper, he was a good person after all."

"Really? That's a pity."

However, Neji nodded and then suddenly changed the subject, his chakra beginning to surge.

Some things are predetermined by fate, and no matter how hard you try, it's useless!

Those who are meant to discriminate against you will still discriminate against you, and those who are meant to look down on you will still look down on you.

No matter what you do, it won't make a difference, because fate is fate!

"."

Naruto looked at Neji with a blank expression, and suddenly something came to mind.

Where did this lunatic come from?

"drink!"

Neji didn't seem to have any intention of continuing the conversation with Naruto. He took a step and rushed towards Naruto!

"off"

Naruto was secretly annoyed, but he quickly accepted the challenge.

In an instant, the two figures clashed, and a fierce battle broke out!

"Ah Kai, your disciple seems to have some personality issues."

Xiuze stood in the stands, and although he was far away, the cheers around him were even more deafening.

However, he could still easily hear what Neji was saying through his unique "control" ability.

"well?"

Akai was a little confused; he didn't understand what Xiuze meant for a moment.

However, Xiuze's attention was no longer on him at this moment, because a person clearly dressed in ANBU uniform had appeared behind them.

"Shuzawa... uh, Hokage's assistant."

The operative instinctively spoke, but quickly realized something was wrong and changed his form of address.

"Alright, Tianzang, why are you being so polite with me?"

Xiuze smiled and turned to look at the person who had come in. Even though the person was wearing a mask, he knew who it was.

"Kakashi is really heartless, leaving the Anbu alone and abandoning you."

"."

Kakashi rolled his eyes. How did this kind of thing get dragged into him again?

"Actually, it's alright. Captain Yugao takes good care of me."

Tianzang smiled nonchalantly, then walked over to Xiuzhe and spoke in a low voice.

"All the covert operations are ready, and all evacuation routes are fully prepared."

We have already started setting up in various residential areas and schools.

In the event of any disturbance, evacuation can be carried out immediately.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work."

Upon hearing the arrangements made by the Anbu, Xiuze nodded slightly.

The work within Konoha still needs to rely on the Anbu, especially since both Hokage are very busy right now, so these miscellaneous matters are naturally handled by Hidezawa, the current Hokage.

Safe evacuation is always the best option, and Xiuze is unwilling to cause any trouble.

As for the roots he controlled, they had already been deployed long ago.

The Roots do not take charge of the work within Konoha, but if Konoha is attacked, the Roots will naturally take action!

It can be used to coordinate with the secret service for evacuation or to launch a direct attack on the enemy.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this really such a big fuss?"

However, although their conversation was brief, they did not try to avoid mentioning Kakashi.

Kakashi was a little unsettled when he heard what Hidezawa said, and he also had some doubts in his mind.

He glanced at Guy, Asuma, and Kurenai, who had deliberately set aside some distance, and saw them cheering on Naruto and Neji who were fighting below. Only then did he ask in a low voice.

"Is it really okay for a fight to break out in the village? Even if it avoids a lot of casualties, how much destruction would it cause?"

Kakashi genuinely cared about the village; he had no idea about Hidezawa's plan, nor was he quite clear on how things would develop.

However, he was unwilling to have any unexpected events occur. Although Konoha was wealthy, rebuilding it would not be difficult.

In Hidezawa's memory, Konoha was flattened by Nagato's "carrying a bag of rice up several floors," and the reconstruction didn't take much effort.

But even if you have a lot of money, you can't just build it like that!

"It seems you underestimated me, Kakashi."

Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Xiuze couldn't help but gently shake his head.

"Since I dared to let this happen, I must have my own confidence."

What the Fourth Hokage could do, I can do too!

Prepare well, and enjoy the match now. Naruto is going to win!

"Um?"

Hearing Shuzawa's words, Kakashi felt a sense of relief for no apparent reason. Although Shuzawa could be quite a jerk at times, he was ultimately reliable!

Moreover, Kakashi himself was somewhat surprised when he heard the second half of Xiuze's sentence. He turned his head and saw that Neji's Byakugan had been worn down by Naruto to the point that he could no longer maintain it.

"Caused by the Shadow Clone Technique?"

Although he hadn't looked at it closely, Kakashi knew Naruto very well, and he immediately understood the key point.

Without the Byakugan's assistance, Neji's combat ability was instantly reduced, and it seemed that Naruto's time was truly coming!

However, Kakashi's expression suddenly turned strange.

"Could it be that I'm overthinking things, and there really isn't a 'behind-the-scenes secret'?"

Naruto's battle was not easy at all. Although he had indeed become much better, he still felt overwhelmed by Neji's Byakugan blockade.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Fortunately, Naruto was clear-headed. After a few tentative exchanges, he calmed down and adopted the simplest approach to deal with the situation!

"What an annoying lunatic! I have to get serious!"

With his hands forming hand seals, Naruto's chakra erupted, and countless figures appeared in the white smoke, surrounding Neji in layers.

He has made so many changes, and he has made so many friends.

Even Hidezawa, who became the Hokage's assistant, acknowledged him. Now, someone comes up to him and says things like "fate" or "it's destined."

He was both angry and amused. He was determined to teach this guy a lesson and prove that fate could be changed!

He is someone who defied fate through hard work!

"That's amazing!"

"Do genin even have that much chakra?"

"Are so many clones?"

"Idiot, that's a shadow clone!"

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience. For ordinary people like them, the main purpose of coming here was to watch the ninjas' duel.

Especially the clash of ninjutsu!

They didn't care about the outcome; all they wanted was a cool scene and intense fighting.

But the ninjas saw through the trick and looked at Naruto with some surprise.

Perhaps they think Naruto is being too reckless; Shadow Clone Technique is a forbidden technique!

Even they couldn't produce that many, but at the same time they admired Naruto, because there aren't many people who can do that.

"This quantity..."

Neji frowned as he watched all this. He had already figured out Naruto's taijutsu and thought he was nothing to fear!

However, he was finding it difficult to withstand such a large number of attacks.

In particular, Naruto showed no intention of conserving chakra this time, creating at least several hundred clones.

"Go! Wake this guy up!"

"good!"

The next moment, countless clones rushed towards Neji, while Neji instantly spun around, using Byakugan chakra to condense his palms.

"Revive the crisis!"

Azure chakra emerged, forming a shield around Neji.

His body spun rapidly, and the chakra circulated faster and faster. Any shadow clones that got close were instantly turned into white smoke and disappeared with a bang.

Unfortunately, Naruto seemed completely unconcerned, as if the pain of the shadow clones being injured would have no effect on him whatsoever.

Seeing that his shadow clones had been significantly weakened, he immediately formed hand seals again, summoning dozens of shadow clones once more, which continued to charge towards Neji.

Clearly, Naruto had made up his mind to wear Neji down!

As expected, the light of the resurrection began to dim slowly, and Neji's chakra was severely depleted.

He had considered ways to break the deadlock, but with such a dense barrage of attacks, all of which were physical, he simply couldn't break through!

Finally, just as his Byakugan could no longer hold on, Naruto's true form moved.

In an instant, Naruto, hiding behind the shadow clones, quickly closed in. Just as Neji struggled to shatter two more shadow clones, Naruto's kunai was already in his hand.

hum-

Amidst everyone's gasps and Neji's astonished gaze, Naruto's kunai was already positioned in front of him!

"I won!"

Naruto was also a little out of breath; using so many shadow clones had taken a toll on him.

Looking at Neji in front of him, his expression was somewhat complicated, but he quickly spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Didn't you say that fate is unchangeable? But the truth is that as long as you want to and do it, you have a certain chance to change it!"

They only talk and complain, but never think about changing things, so naturally they can't resist. But I'm different.

I admit I was lucky; I met a good person who encouraged me and taught me a lot.

He also gave me confidence and made me realize that my efforts would pay off!

And now I also have my own ninja way, and doing what I say is my ninja way.

I believed I could defy fate, and I did, and I won't wallow in self-pity here!

After saying these words, Naruto felt much better.

Although he wasn't quite sure what problem Neji had encountered, looking back on his own past, it was probably hard to imagine anyone being as unlucky as him.

She's overcome so many difficulties herself; Neji is the village's genius, so he'll always have more opportunities.

"It seems it's over."

Genma Shiranui returned to the arena and, after taking a look at the current situation, decisively spoke up and announced loudly.

"The winner of the first match is Naruto Uzumaki!"

The entire training ground was silent for a moment, but the next second a tsunami of cheers erupted, completely engulfing the entire examination hall.

"That was truly an exciting match. This kid is probably Konoha's Jinchūriki, right?"

On the high platform, Rasa naturally watched the entire match. Seeing Naruto's immense chakra, he raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked a question out of curiosity.

"That's right, Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of our Konoha."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't turn around, but instead gave Tsunade a look, naturally hoping that she would handle things at this moment.

Even if he officially retires tomorrow, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with letting Tsunade get used to it first.

Although Tsunade found it troublesome, she already knew from Hidezawa that Rasa had come with ill intentions.

However, she nodded and spoke directly, giving Luo Sha a meaningful look.

"Speaking of which, this time Konoha has more than one Jinchuriki; it seems your son is one as well."

Bringing a Jinchūriki to Konoha was, frankly, not a good choice.

"Oh, does it mean Konoha is going to take our Jinchūriki?"

Rasa raised an eyebrow, seemingly asking in a somewhat provocative manner, but Tsunade gently shook her head.

"We in Konoha are not that barbaric. As long as you don't do anything bad, how could Konoha possibly detain your Jinchuriki?"

I think Elder Yuan Shi has more authority to speak on this. Even the Fourth Mizukage didn't stay in Konoha; instead, he recuperated in the Land of Whirlpools, didn't he?"

"."

Master Yuan smiled without saying a word, but inwardly he was cursing, "How did this trivial matter get dragged into my head?"

To be honest, although the entire ninja world doesn't talk about this now, they were essentially rebelling back then.

Just because they are the victors, they can write their own 'history book'!

Of course, this was originally a problem of the Akatsuki organization, and they were also acting in their own self-interest.

However, they didn't give the Fourth Mizukage another chance to prove himself.

The Fourth Mizukage, unwilling to continue humiliating himself, chose to exile, which could be seen as him cooperating with them in disgusting Konoha.

"I believe in Konoha. As long as nothing outrageous is done, nothing that shouldn't happen will naturally not occur."

Master Yuan finally nodded, responded with a smile, and then turned to look at the competition below, while also joking.

"Lord Fengying, isn't that your daughter competing right now? Aren't you even paying attention?"

"I believe in Temari."

Luo Sha glanced at Yuan Shi and smiled indifferently.

This was the second round of the competition, and Temari's opponent was a little devil from the Nara clan.

However, the current match is not important, because what is most important is naturally what follows, and he also has a question in his mind.

"Actually, I've always been curious whether Kirigakure and Konoha have reached some kind of agreement, since it seems like there are quite a lot of people from you here this time."

"An agreement? Perhaps there is one?"

Master Yuan did not answer, but simply asked a question in return, which made Luo Sha shake his head.

"I remember the hatred between Kirigakure and Konoha very deeply. This hatred started with the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha."

Furthermore, Kirigakure would be mobilized during every Shinobi World War. The Land of Whirlpools, which was originally the territory of the Uzumaki clan, has now become an empty city.

The Uzumaki clan suffered heavy losses, with some dying and others fleeing. Moreover, during the Third Shinobi World War, you fought fiercely in the Land of Whirlpools.

"Their relationship has suddenly become so good, they're even more like Konoha's ally than Sunagakure is. There seems to be a lot of interesting going on here."

"Lord Fengying, I think you'd better be careful with your words and actions."

Master Yuan frowned slightly at this moment. He turned his head and looked at Luo Sha seriously. After a moment, he suddenly laughed.

"As we both know, the purpose of war is not actually hatred, but simply necessary measures taken for one's own development."

You are the Kazekage, and you even orchestrated the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War. Furthermore, you were willing to betray Pakura to our Kirigakure for the sake of the village's interests.

Don't you know all this? Also, I'm very curious, why did you provoke Konoha in the first place? Was it to divert attention from other problems?

After all, the Third Kazekage has disappeared, you must be under a lot of pressure, right? Using war to divert attention from other problems is indeed a very good option.

Besides, you also want to prove yourself? After all, being able to gain benefits from Konoha is truly unprecedented.

Of course, war has another advantage: it sends disobedient people to the front lines, which naturally...

"Enough with the nonsense?!"

Luo Sha's face was extremely ugly at this moment. This damned old man actually dared to mock him to his face?

He was just a shadow, while this old man was merely an elder!

Even though this old man does hold real power in the Hidden Mist Village, there is still a difference in their status.

"Alright, alright, the war is over. As long as no one starts another war, I think peace will remain stable for a long time."

However, just as Rasa was about to retaliate, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly interrupted them with a smile.

Tsunade was watching the show with great interest, which made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel particularly helpless. These two were about to have a full-blown fight, and you were just watching the show?

There was no other way but for Hiruzen Sarutobi to step in himself. Although he was quite happy to see the two of them exchanging barbs, now was clearly not the time.

"Let's watch the game. Pointless arguing is meaningless. Also, congratulations, Kazekage, your daughter won."

"."

Luo Sha glared hatefully at Yuan Shi, but in the end, he took a deep breath and looked down.

At this moment, Temari has been controlled by Shikamaru, but Shikamaru suddenly announces that he is giving up the match.

The latest novel is first published here!

This move once again drew gasps from the audience. The battle between these two was different from the head-on clash between Naruto and Neji, which also involved a battle of wits.

This battle between the two was more of a contest of wits and tactics than a clash of pure strength.

To ninjas, such battles offer more room for imagination, but ordinary viewers are not so convinced.

They crave visceral, hand-to-hand combat and the kind of big-scale competition they enjoy.

"The second match is over, Temari is the winner!"

Genma Shiranui was somewhat surprised, but he still loudly announced the result.

"hateful."

Temari was in a terrible mood. Although she had won, she knew very well that winning was more painful than losing!

How could this pineapple-head hairstyle be so outrageous? It was clearly going to win, but then it announced that it would lose. Isn't that a kind of humiliation?

"That despicable guy"

Temari glared angrily at Shikamaru, who was still lounging around, and headed towards the candidate area without looking back.

She needs to calm herself down now, after all, there are more important things to do later!

"Seriously, why did you give up so easily?"

Shikamaru had no idea what Temari was thinking. He slowly walked back to the rest area and bumped into Naruto.

"You could have won, honestly."

"Pshaw, who cares about that? And who said I lost?"

Shikamaru rolled his eyes at Naruto, but couldn't help thinking to himself, if he had as much chakra as Naruto, would he need to admit defeat?

But just then, the list of the third group to fight has been released!

Uchiha Sasuke VS Gaara!

"Hey! Sasuke, it's your turn!"

Naruto was immediately excited when he saw the name, while Sasuke clenched his fist slightly.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"It's finally here!"

"Is that the 'last Uchiha'?"

"This is really something to look forward to."

Seeing this matchup, all the viewers got excited.

In the public announcement, Sasuke was revealed to be the sole survivor of the Uchiha clan, and everyone was naturally curious about what kind of performance Sasuke would deliver.

Gaara

Upon hearing the examiner's announcement, Gaara's face contorted in pain.

His grotesque, sickly appearance grew increasingly severe. He glanced deeply at Sasuke in another lounge before turning and heading towards the stairs.

His appearance made Kankuro swallow hard, and Temari, who had just returned, also sensed that something was wrong.

"That guy."

Sasuke frowned as well, meeting Gaara's gaze. He immediately sensed the killing intent and violence emanating from it.

However, he quickly recovered, and even a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

"Only by facing such formidable opponents can my abilities grow to their limits."

Thinking of this, Sasuke clenched his fists tightly and walked off the field as well.

Soon, the two arrived at the center of the field, gazing at each other as if they were fully prepared.

"With that kind of aura, this kid's not simple."

Genma Shiranui glanced at Gaara and muttered to himself, but since the list could not be changed, he could only announce it aloud.

"Now that you two are in position, let the competition begin!"

With his shout, the atmosphere at the scene was pushed to a climax once again. Almost instantly, Gaara's sand turned into sharp blades and hurtled towards Sasuke!

Sasuke's eyes turned crimson at that moment as he quickly dodged and searched for an opportunity to counterattack.

"This kid has made great progress; it seems you've done a good job teaching him."

Shuzawa leaned against the railing with one hand, watching the battle below and chuckled softly. Kakashi, meanwhile, put away "Icha Icha Paradise" and nodded seriously.

"You flatter me. Although it's better than before, it still lacks the traditional Uchiha education."

Although I possess the Sharingan and taught him the "Chidori" technique adapted to the Sharingan, I am ultimately not a member of the Uchiha clan.

"You bastard, you're really trying to take advantage of me."

Hidezawa knew exactly what Kakashi meant; he clearly wanted Hidezawa to try and see if Hikaru could teach Sasuke a lesson.

However, Hidezawa wouldn't agree to this right away; it all depends on what Hikaru thinks.

Do you think that kid can win?

Guang asked in a low voice, frowning as she looked down.

"That red-haired guy has a very strange power within him, and he seems a bit dangerous."

"One-tailed creature is actually not that difficult to deal with."

Xiuze smiled. He had dealt with tailed beasts quite a bit, so naturally he wouldn't take the One-Tailed Beast too seriously.

Meanwhile, Sasuke launched a furious attack on Gaara, leaving trails of afterimages on the ground.

Unfortunately, Gaara's "absolute defense" was still quite reliable, and Sasuke was unable to break through Gaara's turtle shell with taijutsu.

"However, that red-haired kid seems to know he can't keep up with Sasuke, so he's planning to stall for time."

Also, be prepared, something might happen soon.

As he spoke, Xiuze stood up and gently twirled one hand towards the sky.

At that very moment, people inside the training ground had already quietly begun to take action.

Although they looked no different from ordinary spectators, they secretly began evacuating the civilians present.

Kakashi's expression also turned serious; he knew that trouble was about to begin.

"Damn it, we can't break through that shell at all!"

On the field, Sasuke looked at Gaara, who was surrounded by a sand sphere, and cursed inwardly.

His relentless attacks, even the use of fire-style techniques, had little effect, and he knew he couldn't continue.

This guy's goal seems to be to stall him until he runs out of stamina, or even chakra!

"It seems that we have no other choice but to use that method."

It seemed that only by thinking this could he realize that Sasuke immediately retreated, creating distance between himself and Gaara, and then began to form hand seals.

"That is."

"Isn't that Kakashi's technique?"

"Chidori!"

The moment Sasuke completed the hand seals, a large amount of lightning began to gather in his hands, and the chirping of birds began to rise and fall.

The surrounding audience immediately realized what was happening, and as the electric arcs flickered more and more intensely, the birdsong grew louder and louder.

It gradually developed into a spectacular scene of thousands of birds singing in unison, completely drowning out all other sounds in the entire venue.

"That is."

Gaara, who was protected in the sand and gravel, also noticed the problem, and his brows furrowed deeply.

"Now!"

At that moment, Sasuke completed all his preparations and charged towards Gaara, who was hiding in the sand shell.

The electric arc from Chidori touched the ground, leaving a straight, deep crater.

At that moment, everyone instinctively held their breath, because they knew that the moment that would determine victory or defeat was about to arrive.

Gaara was still trying to stop Sasuke, and countless sand and stones formed sharp spikes, but Sasuke, who possessed the Sharingan, easily avoided them.

His speed did not decrease in the slightest, and finally, amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, the light of Chidori slammed into Gaara's "Absolute Defense"!

boom--

The thunderous roar of Chidori continued, but Sasuke's entire hand was now buried deep in the sand and gravel!

Under the horrified gazes of Temari and Kankuro, blood began to drip continuously down Sasuke's arm.

"what!"

At that very moment, Gaara let out a heart-wrenching scream!

"Oh no."

Rasa's face was extremely ugly. Gaara had actually lost here, something he hadn't expected.

Even worse, he could sense that the One-Tailed Chakra within Gaara was beginning to erupt uncontrollably.

Blood mixed with sand began to slowly drip onto the ground, and Gaara's body began to subtly change, slowly turning into something resembling a tanuki!

"Am I going to transform into a tailed beast here?"

Luo Sha muttered to himself, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but his gaze quickly hardened.

He waved his hand lightly, and then turned his gaze to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"That was a fantastic match. Congratulations, Hokage!"

"Thank you, but I think the most urgent thing is to stop his condition from deteriorating further."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Rasa a deep look, but at that moment, something like feathers suddenly began to fall throughout the entire training ground.

Large flakes of feathers, like snowflakes, drifted down from the sky.

In a daze, ordinary people, high-ranking officials, and some incompetent genin all fell asleep without realizing it!

At that very moment, the Sand Village and Sound Village, which were hiding in various places, also began to take action.

"Lord Fengying, what do you mean by this?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze was piercing as he slowly stood up and looked at Rasa, while Tsunade followed at the same moment.

"What do you mean?"

Rasa also stood up, his chakra surging wildly within him. He looked quietly at Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade and suddenly laughed.

"Perhaps, they want to expose the hypocrites behind your masks!"

At this point, Luo Sha stopped pretending. His face was full of indignation, and his angry gaze seemed to devour people.

"What exactly has Konoha done all these years? Are you still going to pretend?"

Don't think that you can cover everything up by working with the Land of Rain on a water management project. Your desire to control Sunagakure has never stopped!

Whether it's you or Danzo, you're all birds of a feather.

Isn't Yekura the person you put forward? Isn't she the person you plan to use to replace me?

You keep saying you won't interfere, but do you really think nobody knows what you're doing?

Today is for revenge. Today is the day to show you self-righteous fools the power of our anger!

As they were talking, a figure suddenly jumped onto the platform, and his appearance made Hiruzen Sarutobi slightly dazed.

"Orochimaru."

"Great news! Long time no see, Sarutobi-sensei."

Orochimaru's pale face revealed a strange smile. He glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi and then looked at Tsunade.

"And congratulations! I never thought you'd be the one who ended up this way."

"Thank you, although I didn't really want to say this to you in this situation."

Tsunade gently shook her head, then looked intently at Orochimaru and asked in a low voice.

"There must be quite a few people coming to 'visit' this time, right?"

"That's quite a lot. The entire Akatsuki organization has been mobilized."

Orochimaru didn't care about leaking information, and just as he was speaking, a roar that sounded like a monster resounded throughout Konoha!

Seeing this, Orochimaru's smile grew even brighter.

"Alright, the real show is about to begin. Everyone, are you ready?"

"Damn it, what is that?"

"A tailed beast. It's a tailed beast!"

"Damn it, everyone, assemble now!"

The moment Yiwei's roar appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Many Konoha ninjas cannot forget the scene of the Nine-Tails wreaking havoc on Konoha thirteen years ago, and now it seems that the unbearable past is about to be repeated!

"Don't panic. You have all been conscripted. Cooperate with us for evacuation immediately."

However, just as these ninjas were about to do something, they suddenly discovered that a large number of ANBU had appeared around them.

They quickly maintained order and began the orderly evacuation, while others came to them asking for their cooperation.

It seems they don't take the Tailed Beasts seriously at all.

"The One-Tailed Beast has appeared; now it's our turn."

In a corner of Konoha Village, Obito Uchiha saw the One-Tailed Beast emerge from its cage and immediately realized it was time.

In the sky, all sorts of signal flares kept blooming, and outside Konoha, a large number of ninjas began to head towards this place.

Now is clearly the best time!

"If we coordinate well with the One-Tailed Beast, and combine it with our fighting strength, we can definitely deal a heavy blow to Konoha this time!"

"Your idea is good, but I'm afraid Shihara Hidezawa won't take Ichio seriously."

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Nagato spoke through Payne.

"Don't forget, the Three-Tails and the Eight-Tails were both defeated by him, and the One-Tails will probably lose even faster."

"snort."

Obito Uchiha was annoyed that Nagato had undermined him. Although he didn't take the One-Tailed Beast seriously, having such a big guy was still somewhat useful.

"Look everyone! What's going on?"

However, just as he opened his mouth to say something, the Konoha ninjas outside suddenly gasped in surprise.

The next moment, exclamations of amazement seemed to echo throughout the entire Leaf Village.

And right next to him, Kakuzu suddenly let out a playful chuckle.

"It seems that the One-Tailed Beast is indeed not taken seriously."

"Let's take action. First, eliminate the enemies here, then meet up outside the village."

Hidezawa released his grip on Hikaru, looked up at Gaara who was gradually ceasing his struggles and beginning to fall asleep.

"Jiraiya is already leading the troops to hold off the enemy outside the village. I will also take the battle outside the village later, so you guys can hurry up!"

"Okay, no problem!"

Kakashi nodded immediately, while Guy clenched his fists, seemingly wanting to rush forward.

However, with Shuzawa present, he still restrained himself somewhat, while Asuma and Kurenai would not refuse orders.

Looking at the ever-expanding tail, Asuma finally couldn't help but ask.

"What about this guy? Damn it, it won't be good for him if he comes out of Konoha."

"Him? I'll handle it."

Xiuze smiled and turned to look at Kakashi again.

"Make sure Tianzang keeps an eye on Xiyan, understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Kakashi rolled his eyes, but the chakra within his body was already surging rapidly.

Xiuze nodded, and in an instant he had disappeared from the spot, and the next moment he reappeared not far from Yiwei!

"Are you sure it's okay? He's all alone?"

Hong couldn't help but ask, still very worried, as the current situation seemed worse than expected!

"Don't worry about him, just focus on your own things."

She glanced at Hong out of the corner of her eye. She didn't recognize the woman, and besides, after Xiuze left, she naturally returned to her aloof demeanor.

"Don't worry, Xiuze will be fine, right?"

Kakashi said in a low voice, and at that moment he saw Hidezawa slowly walk towards the One-Tailed Beast.

"Aww! It's finally out!"

As Gaara fell into a deep sleep, Shukaku also fully awoke.

It roared incessantly, and the surrounding sandstorm raged, as if it were venting its emotions. But at this moment, it also noticed Xiuze walking towards it!

"I just woke up and ran into a guy I wanted to kill. Great!"

It roared wildly, and the next moment it slapped its belly, and a giant "practice bullet" instantly shot out of its mouth!

"Hello, Yiwei."

Xiuze slowly raised her head and calmly spoke.

Peng——

The massive training missile hurtled towards Xiuzawa, but strangely, Xiuzawa didn't move at all.

Just as the training bullet was about to make contact with Xiuze, it quietly began to disintegrate, eventually disintegrating like a gentle breeze blowing over Xiuze's entire body from all directions.

"All the other tailed beasts can use the Tailed Beast Ball, so why can't you?"

Xiuze remained calm. He gently shook his head and then smiled.

"Fine, to me, you're the same as them, so be it."

Goodbye, One-Tail.

hum-

Thick vines suddenly burst from the ground without warning and frantically wrapped around Yiwei's body!

These frenzied vines tightly bound Yiwei, and in the blink of an eye, they completely covered Yiwei's enormous body.

The vines continued to twine around, and lush branches and green leaves continued to grow.

Amidst Shukaku's mournful screams, its newly formed, enormous body slowly turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.

Try to post it early tomorrow
