He bent his legs slightly, then pushed off the ground with his feet, and his body rose vertically into the sky.

boom!

The ground in the center of the arena instantly sank, creating a huge crater.

"what?"

Minato Namikaze only felt a blur before his eyes, and in a flash, Orochimaru in front of him disappeared, carried into the sky by a fiery meteor with a red tail.

In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the clouds.

Rumble!

A dazzling red light emanated from above the clouds, illuminating the entire sky's white clouds in a crimson glow, like a sunset.

Immediately following was a series of thunderous roars.

Powerful air currents stirred up the clouds in this large area of ​​the sky, forming funnel clouds that looked like a giant funnel.

"roar~"

A sound like the painful roar of an ancient behemoth came from the clouds.

......

Jingle bells!

Inside the Four Purple Flame Formation, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wielding the Vajra Staff transformed from the Summoning Beast Monkey King, battles Kakashi, who holds the White Fang.

Seeing that his persuasion was in vain, Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer harbored any illusions about Kakashi. In order to prevent Orochimaru from continuing to destroy Konoha, he had already made up his mind to kill Kakashi.

Stab it!

A sword flashed with a thunderous sound, and Kakashi slashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's combat uniform, leaving a huge wound on his back from which blood gushed out.

However, Kakashi was struck in the left shoulder by Hiruzen Sarutobi's counterattack, and his entire left shoulder bone was shattered by the Vajra Staff. Kakashi's left arm immediately drooped unnaturally.

Despite the pain and cold sweat pouring down his face as he looked at the pool of blood flowing beneath Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi still managed a hint of pleasure on his face.

The two then became locked in a tug-of-war.

With the powerful medical scrolls and recovery potions he obtained from Shiraha, Kakashi, despite being outnumbered, used a high frequency of suicidal attacks to exhaust Hiruzen Sarutobi.

boom--!

A sudden, earth-shattering roar caused Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kakashi, who had just exchanged blows and were both retreating, to instinctively stop fighting and look up at the sky.

"The Eight Gates Formation! Might Guy, you actually..." Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself as he watched Might Guy disappear into the clouds.

Kakashi glanced at him once, then turned his attention back to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Kakashi, whose face was contorted with murderous intent, gripped his Adamantine Staff tightly, and finally said, "Kakashi, stop now. It's not too late."

"Today...you must die!" Kakashi gripped the White Fang short sword tightly with both hands, holding it upright in front of his chest. A large amount of lightning chakra gathered in his hands, and the White Fang short sword gradually turned into a ball of silver-white lightning.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, having lost too much blood, was already swaying slightly. At that moment, his Vajra Staff suddenly transformed into a muscular, elderly ape in the smoke with a loud bang. The Enma King, supporting Hiruzen, anxiously said:

"Hiruzen! What are you still hesitating about?! Can't you see he's going to kill you?!"

"I understand, Monkey King, transform." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, his somewhat hunched back straightening up again. He smiled at the Monkey King beside him and then stretched out his hand.

"You should have realized this a long time ago!"

"The Monkey King said in a deep voice, and it transformed back into the Vajra Ruyi Staff, which fell into Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands.

"This is the final blow," Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself, his tone somewhat relaxed. He glanced up at the sky again before facing Kakashi head-on.

For the final blow, Kakashi completely abandoned his defense.

laugh!

A series of crackling, silvery-white flashes of electricity accompanied the scene.

Kakashi and Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped simultaneously.

The white dagger was plunged to the root into Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart, while Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands were raised high, tightly gripping the Vajra staff.

"You..." Kakashi's face showed the satisfaction of getting revenge, but when he saw the Vajra Staff hovering above his forehead, he looked surprised and doubtful.

"Hiruzen! What are you doing?!" The Monkey King's voice, filled with shock and anger, came from the Vajra Staff. He felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi's chakra was tightly restricting his movements; otherwise, he would have smashed the brat's brains with one blow.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes welled up with tears, his vision blurred, and the white fang short sword that pierced through his body was filled with lightning chakra, causing his body to gradually become numb and his life force to rapidly drain away.

However, at this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt incredibly relaxed.

A smile of relief appeared on his face.

"Why?!"

As I fell, I heard Kakashi's puzzled voice in my ear.

Hiruzen Sarutobi used his last strength to send the Monkey King back.

"Shuomao..."

P.S.: It was a close call, everything is normal now. I was just advised to sleep more, get more rest and avoid staying up late. After taking the medicine, I slept for two days and felt fully recovered. I felt like writing 10,000 words a day was easy, and I only wrote for eight hours.

[267. Wishing all high school seniors the best of luck on their college entrance exams! I'll make up for the missed update tomorrow.]

Hello everyone, I'm your daily update friend, Sangengshou.

I've only written a little over two thousand points so far, and my performance is just so-so.

I've already taken a lot of leave these past few days, so I'll take one more day (which doesn't count as slacking off, right?).

I'll make up for the missed updates this month. To be honest, I've almost finished making up for all the missed updates for this book.

I'll go to bed earlier tonight and definitely won't stay up late; preserving my life is the priority.

The previous two books were criticized for having rushed endings and being suspected of being poorly written, so this one needs to be even slower to maintain its integrity.

(In reality, there were no fewer updates.)

I think there are some minors among my readers who are 17 years and over 100 months old, just like me.

I wish all the students who are about to take the college entrance examination the best of luck!

The three-watch beast in its growth stage.

[Chapter 268. Chapter 257 A Good Hand Was Played Wrongly (Bonus Chapter)]

With a thud.

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell to the ground and closed his eyes forever.

"Sandaime-sama!"

"Three generations..."

"Kakashi actually...killed the Third Hokage!"

The conclusion of the rooftop battle also caught the attention of Minato Namikaze, Nawaki, Fugaku, and Itachi.

Minato Namikaze looked on in disbelief. One was the Third Hokage, who had helped him ascend to the position of Hokage, and the other was his student. The two were fighting to the death, which was not a scene he wanted to see. But he did not expect that the outcome would be decided so quickly. Kakashi killed the Third Hokage!

Compared to him, Nawaki, Fugaku, and Itachi reacted much calmer. The three of them were currently focused on dealing with Hashirama and had little energy to grieve for the Third Hokage's death, or rather, they were not sad at all.

After all, the third generation did many things that disappointed everyone in the later stages.

Minato Namikaze was too injured and unconscious to experience these things, but they were able to witness them firsthand.

Now that the Third Hokage is dead and the Fourth Hokage has awakened, the old era of Konoha has ended, and a new era is about to begin.

Of course, we need to wait until Konoha overcomes this current crisis; otherwise, it's all just empty talk.

"Kakashi killed the Third Hokage!"

"Kill him!"

After resolving the battles on other battlefields, the Anbu ninjas and Konoha Jonin who arrived later came to the center of the arena. Danzo, who should have been in the death row in front of everyone, also appeared among the crowd.

When they saw Kakashi kill the Third Hokage, everyone was enraged and wanted to rush up and kill Kakashi, but they were blocked outside by the Four Purple Flame Formation.

“Hiruzen…” Danzo looked at the Third Hokage lying dead in the Four Purple Flames Formation, his face filled with sorrow. He thought to himself, “Why be soft-hearted at a time like this? How foolish! But… thank you.”

If he kills Kakashi Hatake, who betrayed Konoha and plotted against the Third Hokage, then at the very least his merits and demerits can offset each other, and he can be released from his life imprisonment. Otherwise, he can leave the death row now with the ideal of thinking about the safety of Konoha, but after he gets through this hurdle, who knows what will happen.

Rumble!

Loud noises echoed through the sky as a massive snake head, severed at the neck, plummeted down, spraying blood.

Each snake head is at least the size of a small house; just falling to the ground would likely create a large crater.

Minato Namikaze quickly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to move the snake heads out of the village.

Thunderous sounds echoed continuously from above the clouds, which gave an idea of ​​how intense the battle was.

Crackling sounds!

The white arcs of electricity on the White Fang Dagger quickly faded, and Kakashi's body went limp, half-kneeling on the ground, using the White Fang Dagger to support himself.

After delivering the final blow, his chakra was almost completely depleted; he could be said to have held on until now only with his last bit of willpower.

"Why?!"

Kakashi stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi's corpse, a slight smile playing on the other's lips.

Kakashi had finally avenged his family, but he wasn't as happy as he had imagined.

After all, even if all those who killed Sakumo were killed, Sakumo could not be brought back to life.

and...

Click~

A crisp sound interrupted Kakashi's thoughts. Startled, he looked down sharply at the White Fang short sword in his right hand and saw a fine crack appear in the middle of the blade.
