Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

boom!

Besides the explosion created by Shukaku inside the arena, violent explosions were heard from all directions.

"Run!"

"Enemies!"

At this moment, the villagers in the arena stands were thrown into chaos.

Other Konoha ninjas came out to maintain order.

"Don't wander off! Everyone, come with us to the shelter!"

"Come over here quickly!"

However, soon everyone felt something like feathers floating down in their vision, and everything in front of them was a white blur.

"Oh no! It's a large-scale illusion!"

The Konoha ninjas quickly dispelled the genjutsu, but one by one, the ordinary people around them fell to the ground and fainted.

Before they could dispel the genjutsu, the Sand Village and Sound Village ninjas hidden in the audience launched an attack on them.

Because of the presence of ordinary people, the Konoha ninjas were all hesitant and only dared to use taijutsu with ninja tools to fight the enemy. However, the opposing side had little to worry about and used all sorts of methods in turn.

This time, Sunagakure and Otogakure joined forces to fight against the behemoth that is Konoha. If they were defeated, they would definitely suffer a crazy retaliation. Therefore, they had no way out and decided to fight Konoha to the death.

Therefore, ordinary people were naturally also brought into play. After all, this was a battle on Konoha's home turf, and a surprise attack could only catch Konoha off guard. Once Konoha reacted, their numerical disadvantage would immediately become apparent, so a swift victory was necessary.

On the high platform of the arena, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the kunai held to his neck and the Kazekage's guards standing behind him, then turned to Rasa, who was still seated, with a grave expression: "Kagakage, what do you mean by this?!"

Luo Sha stood up from his seat, a smile on his face, and said calmly:

"Lord Hokage, today is a wonderful day for your reunion as master and disciple, so I won't disturb you any longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped off the platform, abandoning Hiruzen Sarutobi to deal with the Konoha Jonin who were besieging Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast.

As for Maki, the other Wind Shadow Guard behind him, he jumped down with him.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi showed an expression of disbelief.

Orochimaru, who was behind him, lifted the black robe covering his body, revealing a pale face.

"Sarutobi-sensei, it's been a long time! How are you?!"

Orochimaru said jokingly, observing Hiruzen Sarutobi, whom he hadn't seen for many years, up close. The powerful ninja hero he remembered had become a frail old man, half of his body buried in the ground, and he was so old that he was unrecognizable.

"Orochimaru..." The Third Hokage's expression was somewhat moved. Suddenly, he realized what was happening and turned to look at Shiroba, who was still sitting in his seat.

If Bai Yu was also involved in this incident, then Konoha is in danger!

Even if he has mastered the S-rank forbidden technique of Reincarnation, as long as he touches Bai Yu's body, he can perish together with Bai Yu.

However, how to encounter Bai Yu is a crucial question. Moreover, this forbidden technique itself originated from the Uzumaki clan. Bai Yu and Kushina are both proficient in sealing techniques, so they probably won't give him the opportunity to apply the seal.

"I won't disturb you two, master and disciple, as this matter has nothing to do with me or the Land of Whirlpools."

Bai Yu stood up, smiling and spreading his hands to indicate that he would not interfere.

At that moment, two ninjas shrouded in black robes behind him simultaneously used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

Bai Yu walked towards the stairwell on his own, completely ignoring the shouts and explosions that kept coming.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sense of relief. If Shiraha hadn't been involved, the crisis wouldn't have gotten out of control.

Orochimaru noticed the change in Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression and couldn't help but tease him, "Sarutobi-sensei, what are you looking at? You should be worried about yourself right now, shouldn't you?"

"Orochimaru, what exactly do you want?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in a deep voice.

"Of course... we'll destroy Konoha," Orochimaru said casually.

With that, he lifted Hiruzen Sarutobi and jumped onto the roof of the arena's high platform.

boom--!

A deafening explosion erupted in the center of the arena, shaking the very earth. Gaara, now fully transformed into his tailed beast form, had lost his mind. After being attacked by the crowd, he leaped into the air and ran towards the west of Konoha.

Konoha ninjas from all directions gathered towards the west.

After severely injuring several Konoha Jonin in the arena, Rasa also gave chase.

"We'll deal with Rasa!" Yekura and Sasori followed closely behind.

When the Konoha Jonin saw the Uzushiogakure headbands hanging on the two men's arms, they felt much more at ease. With the help of the Uzushiogakure, their chances of winning would be much greater.

At this moment, the Sound Four appeared beside Orochimaru on the roof of the stands, and then the four of them quickly spread out at the four corners of the roof and formed hand seals at the same time.

Four enormous purple pillars of light rose from the ground, and then, centered on the four pillars, they connected to form a purple rectangular light barrier that enveloped the entire roof.

The enhanced version of the Four Purple Flame Array is activated!

Just as the light screen was fully formed, a ninja wearing an animal mask and dressed as a Konoha ANBU member rushed into the Four Purple Flame Formation. It was Kakashi, who had been temporarily reassigned to the ANBU as a guard by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"what!"

"what!"

Two Anbu ninjas who were following closely behind Kakashi and preparing to rush into the barrier to support Hiruzen Sarutobi were a little slow and crashed directly into the light barrier of the Four Purple Flame Formation. Their bodies were instantly ignited by the purple flames, and they fell from mid-air.

"Stop everything! Do not touch the barrier!"

Upon seeing this, the ANBU ninjas who followed behind all stopped and stood guard outside.

The dark purple light barrier somewhat obstructed the view, but it was still possible to see that Kakashi had entered the barrier.

"Kakashi is inside. With his help, the Third Hokage will definitely be able to defeat Orochimaru!"

The leader of the ANBU ninja breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside the barrier, Kakashi removed his mask, revealing his cold and stern face.

At this moment, Kakashi was no longer lazy; his gaze was firm and revealed an undisguised killing intent, but he did not make any rash moves.

From other people's perspectives, Kakashi's gaze was always fixed on Orochimaru.

Orochimaru paid no attention to this and his focus remained unchanged.

"Orochimaru, if you hold a grudge against me, you can kill me. There's absolutely no need to take action against Konoha!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly, his expression filled with guilt, regret, and reluctance.

"Old man, you underestimate me too much." Orochimaru chuckled, and to Hiruzen Sarutobi's puzzled look, he actually released the kunai that was across Hiruzen's neck.

"Ha! That's boring."

Orochimaru yawned, rubbed his eyes looking sleepy, and walked to the side.

"I just want to see if you still have the same strength after all these years. I hope you can please me and not make me feel too bored."

With that, Orochimaru swiftly formed hand seals and unleashed a Wind Release ninjutsu to attack Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Almost at the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi activated his Fire Release technique.

The wind fueled the fire, and with the aid of the Wind Release technique, the flames not only did not weaken, but instead completely engulfed the roof of the high platform. For a moment, the ninjas outside felt as if they were in a sea of ​​fire, and could see nothing but the red and orange flames.

shhhhhh!

"what!"

In the audience, Itachi and Fugaku easily killed the ninjas from Sunagakure and Otogakure with their superb ninja tool throwing skills.

Even without using ninjutsu, the two of them could easily handle Jonin with just taijutsu and ninja tool throwing. Moreover, they had both awakened the Sharingan, and most of the enemies present were Chunin-level.

The two of them dispatched all the enemies within their line of sight as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

"Father, what should we do? Should we go to support the Third Hokage?! If we use Susanoo at the same time, we should be able to defeat the assembled forces, right?"

At this moment, Itachi looked at the purple barrier on the roof of the opposite stands and couldn't help but ask Fugaku a question.

Fugaku gazed at the flames within the barrier, his eyes flickering slightly, before making a decision: "With the Third Hokage's strength, dealing with Orochimaru should be more than enough."

Besides, Kakashi is inside, so they probably don't need our help.

Using Susanoo could cause the arena to collapse, so we need to prioritize rescuing the villagers.

"Itachi, go support the other positions, I'll go after the One-Tailed Beast!"

"Yes, Father!" Although Itachi hesitated for a moment, he felt that Fugaku's words made sense, and then quickly headed towards the direction from which violent explosions were coming from.

The enemies in this section of the stands have been mostly dealt with, and the enemies in the opposite section are being handled by the village's ninjas. Once all the enemies are dealt with, the villagers will naturally be freed from their illusions. The more pressing task now is to deal with the enemies in other sections.

boom!

boom!

boom

Centered on the Weasel Arena, search for scattered enemies throughout the village streets and then annihilate them all.

In an instant, smoke and fire filled the entire Konoha.

......

The outskirts of Konoha Village.

The main forces of Sunagakure and Otogakure have breached the northern wall. Although their ninjas are attacking from the other three directions, the attacks from the east and west are feints, while the main attacks are from the south and north, in order to disperse Konoha's forces.

After all, their ninjas needed to infiltrate the Land of Rivers' stronghold and hide near the third round of the Chunin Exams, and then arrive at Konoha Village within a morning to launch an attack, so they couldn't bring too many ninjas.

However, Sunagakure itself reduced the size of its ninja force after its defeat in the Third Shinobi World War and implemented an elite ninja system. Therefore, although the number of its attacking forces was small, their overall quality was in no way inferior to that of Konoha's ninjas.

This time, Sunagakure has gone all in, betting everything they have.

The demolition team blasted down the city wall, and then the ninjas from the Sound Village used a summoning scroll to release a giant snake, further damaging the city wall.

Meanwhile, Sunagakure's elite puppeteer unit, relying on various puppets and powerful poisons, directly stormed into Konoha.

After all, Konoha's special antidote was very expensive, and in peacetime, the village's ninjas couldn't all have one. For a time, the puppeteer squad moved through the village like it was empty.

'Konoha Power Cyclone!'

'Konoha's ruined rock rises!'

Two ninjas dressed in green bodysuits suddenly appeared, their bodies radiating green light, blocking the advancing puppeteer force.

Soon, other Konoha Jonin arrived quickly and desperately held off the enemy outside the village.

At the same time, a breach was also blasted in the wall at the south gate of Konoha.
