At this time, Uchiha Izumi had already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, so it was much easier for her to move around than before. So after leaving, she first came to the Sand Village to make a final confirmation of the Konoha destruction plan. Then she contacted Danzo's Root to remind him that the Konoha destruction plan was just around the corner. The next step was to find Orochimaru in the Land of Rice to confirm his current condition.

At this time, Orochimaru's hands were intact. It was obvious that after Uchiha Itachi cut off one of his arms, Orochimaru changed his body. After seeing Uchiha Izumi dressed as Yakushi Kabuto, Orochimaru said with interest:

"Uchiha Izumi, your disguise skills are really good. Especially the faint smile on your face, it really has a bit of Kabuto."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Izumi adjusted his glasses in imitation of Kabuto's habitual action, and then handed the information about Sand Village and the Root to Orochimaru. As for the information about Sand Village, he only glanced at it roughly. As for the information about the Root, Orochimaru carefully confirmed it before he said thoughtfully:

"Danzo's roots seem to be stirring!"

Uchiha Izumi also said upon hearing this:

"He probably wants to kill all the other people involved in this operation and become the only winner in the end! That's all Danzo has in mind."

"Really?" Orochimaru sneered.

"Uchiha Izumi, I think Danzo's final decision will probably exceed your imagination."

Beyond imagination?

Chapter 58: Ten Million Explosive Talismans

Uchiha Izumi couldn't figure out what the unimaginable decision of Danzo was that Orochimaru mentioned. So after saying goodbye to Orochimaru, Uchiha Izumi returned to the Akatsuki organization and found Konan, preparing to make some preparations for the next action.

"These are our Akatsuki's support for Konoha's destruction plan. Do you think it's enough?"

Xiaonan pointed at the pile of detonating talismans in front of him and said:

"There are a total of 10 million detonating tags. The power of continuous explosions is enough to cause huge damage to Konoha. But there is one thing you have to pay attention to. Although there are a large number of these detonating tags, they have to be made more roughly. So I did not seal the higher purity oxygen inside the seals of these detonating tags."

"When these detonating symbols are gathered together and explode, the oxygen in the surrounding air will be quickly consumed. Without the support of oxygen, the remaining detonating symbols will not be able to continue to explode, resulting in a dud. In addition, there will be an oxygen vacuum zone around the core of the explosion. Once humans go deep into it, they will suffer from hypoxia. Therefore, when detonating these detonating symbols, try not to gather a large number of them together to explode."

Hearing Xiaonan's reminder, Uchiha Izumi nodded, and then used the sealing technique to collect the detonating tags. At the same time, he secretly calculated in his mind:

The energy released by a detonating talisman is smaller than that of a modern hand grenade, about 1000 joules. The power of 100 million detonating talismans is 2.4 billion joules, which is about the power of 2.63 tons of TNT. It is not a big deal, but it is far less than the trillion joules of entry-level nuclear weapons such as the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

However, if it was the 6000 billion detonating talismans that Xiaonan took out in the original work, the power of the explosion would be terrible. If we still calculate it based on the amount of 1000 joules per detonating talisman, the energy of the explosion of 6000 billion detonating talismans is approximately equal to 6 trillion joules, which is almost twice the energy level of the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

Of course, this is only calculated in terms of energy.

In fact, although the energy level of nuclear weapons is high, the killing range is actually very limited. Although nuclear weapon explosions can produce extreme light and heat, because a large amount of energy is accumulated in the explosion core, the damage range of the explosion is actually very small relative to the energy level. In contrast, 6000 billion detonating tags can be spread over a large area, and the lethality caused by continuous explosions is simply immeasurable, at least ten times that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

Moreover, 1000 joules is only the minimum value of the power of the detonating talisman. If the detonating talisman is modified in a certain way, such as sealing oxygen in it as Xiaonan said, it is not a problem to increase the power of a detonating talisman to 10000 joules. The power of 6000 billion detonating talismans is 20 times that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb! With such power, no matter whether you are the Six Paths Sage or Kaguya Otsutsuki, you will be blown into slag.

I think the reason why the 6000 billion Detonating Talismans in the original work did not exert their due power is probably because, as Konan said, the explosion of the Detonating Talismans consumed all the oxygen in the surrounding space. Without oxygen, most of the remaining Detonating Talismans did not explode at all. Otherwise, if they were completely exploded, even if Obito had ten eyes, it would be useless to cast Izanagi.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Izumi looked at Xiaonan and thought:

This should be how Konan deals with the Otsutsuki clan! As long as she can fully unleash the power of 6000 billion detonating tags, she will not be afraid of any opponent.

So Uchiha Izumi bid farewell to Konan and continued to prepare for the destruction of Konoha.

After such preparation, time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the Chunin Exam began. The three members of Team 7 passed two exams just like in the original story. And Orochimaru, just like in the original story, used coercion and inducement on Sasuke in the second exam, leaving a curse mark on him.

Unlike the original story, in the second round of the exam, Haruno Sakura did not leave the exam in a tie like in the original story, but easily defeated Yamanaka Ino. So Haruno Sakura will also enter the third round of the Chunin Exam as a candidate. However, these things that happened in the Chunin Exam are actually trivial matters. What is really important is the movement outside the venue.

In the gap between the second and third exams, the three forces of Sunagakure, Orochimaru and Root were ready. As soon as the third exam started, they would immediately launch an attack on Konoha. Nagato and Konan of the Akatsuki organization also contacted the internal forces of the Land of Fire. As soon as Konoha was weakened, they would immediately take action in the Land of Fire.

Thus, amid the intrigues among various forces, the third exam officially began.

Just like in the original work, Uzumaki Naruto defeated Hyuga Neji with the power of the Nine-Tails. Although he won the cheers of the audience with his victory, Uchiha Izumi, who was hiding in the field disguised as an Anbu, shook his head secretly:

This kid finally began to rely on the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Alas, it is really a rotten tree that cannot be carved! All my previous training has become useless.

But it's okay this way. If Uzumaki Naruto can really control his dependence on the tailed beast in this game, and would rather lose the game than use the power of the Nine-Tails, then Uchiha Izumi will have a headache. After all, the Uzumaki Naruto who would rather lose the game than lose his dignity is the ninja who is truly qualified to become Hokage.

After that, the following match was not much different from the original. Shikamaru lost the match but won his life, while Sasuke relied on his stronger strength than in the original to catch Gaara off guard. His powerful strength shocked everyone present, and it was hard to imagine that this guy was just a Genin. In fact, the strength that Sasuke burst out at this time was almost comparable to that of an ordinary Jonin.

Facing such an explosive attack from Sasuke, Gaara was obviously unable to resist. So when he was about to be knocked down, Gaara completely released the suppression of the One-Tailed Shukaku in his body. The huge chakra directly lifted Sasuke away, and his whole body directly transformed into a huge One-Tailed Shukaku.

it has started!

The appearance of Shukaku, the One-Tail, immediately announced the end of the Chunin Exam.

Even if Gaara did not intentionally release the power of the tailed beast, the appearance of the enemy tailed beast in the ninja village of his own country also meant that a war would break out between Sunagakure and Konoha, not to mention that all this was planned in the first place. As the one-tailed Shukaku roared in Konoha Village, the ninjas of Sunagakure and Otogakure, who had already been arranged, immediately launched an attack on Konoha. The Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who was high up in the stands and prepared, also immediately launched an attack on the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen together with Orochimaru.

The two Kage-level masters joined forces to launch a surprise attack. Logically, Sarutobi Hiruzen should have been unable to resist. However, what no one expected was that Sarutobi Hiruzen was like a reborn being, and easily took on the combined attack of the two Kage-level masters.

How is this going?

Uchiha Izumi below was surprised to see Sarutobi Hiruzen's deft movements, while Orochimaru and the Fourth Kazekage Rasa were also surprised at the Third Hokage's strength. Especially Orochimaru, at this moment, he felt that the teacher Sarutobi in front of him seemed to have regained his youth.

"Sarutobi-sensei, I never thought that you, who once disdained life technology, would actually start to transform your own body!"

Feeling the vitality in Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru sneered.

In response, Sarutobi Hiruzen simply said calmly:

"To protect Konoha, this is the necessary price! Even if I go to hell for this, I won't regret it."

Chapter 59 Only war

How strong was the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen in his prime? Uchiha Izumi and the Fourth Kazekage Rasa didn't know either. Only Orochimaru, the Third Hokage's disciple, knew it clearly. So when he realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen might have recovered his strength through some means, he immediately used the summoning technique to summon the Impure World Reincarnations of the First and Second Hokages.

Compared to a year ago, Orochimaru's control over the Impure World Reincarnation has become stronger, and the strength of the two generations of Hokage he summoned is naturally far greater than before. But even so, Orochimaru still feels a little timid. Because no one knows better than him how terrifying Sarutobi was in his prime!

Compared to the cautious Orochimaru, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa beside him was obviously much more relaxed. Especially when he saw that the two Hokage who had founded Konoha Village were actually resurrected by Orochimaru to deal with the current Hokage, he laughed:

"It's really interesting that the Hokage who once founded Konoha destroyed this ninja village with his own hands!"

Seeing the mocking smile on Luo Sha's face, Sarutobi Hiruzen said in confusion:

"Lord Kazekage, Konoha and Sunagakure are allies! Why did you collude with the rebel ninjas in Konoha and launch a surprise attack? Don't you know that such an act will destroy the peace that has been maintained with great difficulty and bring war to this ninja world again?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke righteously, but Rasa was dismissive of it.

"Indeed, the Sunagakure's attack on Konoha today is likely to bring about a new round of the Ninja World War. But, so what?"

"Lord Kazekage, do you really not know what war means?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked again.

"Of course I know what war means." Luo Sha said seriously:

"But at the same time, I also know what peace means!"

"War certainly brings killing and death, but does peace mean prosperity and prosperity? Not every ninja village is Konoha, and not every country is the Land of Fire. Our Sand Village is not as big and powerful as your Konoha, and our Wind Country is not as rich and prosperous as your Fire Country."

"Perhaps war means sacrifice for you in Konoha, and loss for the Land of Fire, and it is absolutely negative. But for us in the Land of Wind, which is covered with yellow sand, peace also means countless sacrifices and losses. Our farmers are not like the Land of Fire, who can harvest as long as they plant, and our merchants do not have many goods to exchange for the wealth of other countries."

"Even if you work hard, you won't get much food. Even if you work hard, you won't get much wealth. The so-called desert is such a place of death. Countless people from the Wind Country struggle with nature in the yellow sand and lose their lives in the painful confrontation. The peace you Konoha talks about is just another war with nature for us in the Wind Country."

"In the final analysis, this world does not give us, the Wind Country, any other choice. In order to survive, we can only fight. Use the blood of the Sand Village ninjas to seize land suitable for farming for the farmers of the Wind Country!"

Everyone present actually understood what Luo Sha said. The Land of Fire occupied the richest land in the Ninja World, and Konoha also had the richest blood resources in the entire Ninja World. They had everything, so they naturally longed for peace, but what about other countries?

Why do all the good things belong to your Konoha Village in the Land of Fire?

Don’t we have the right to a better life?

While the civilians of the Fire Nation happily eat ramen, the civilians of the Wind Nation can only eat inedible naan in the desert. While the civilians of the Fire Nation casually soak in hot springs, the civilians of the Wind Nation have to save even ordinary drinking water. Faced with the absolute injustice of survival resources in reality, the occurrence of war is just a matter of course!

"I see." Sarutobi Hiruzen said thoughtfully:

"You actually have such a profound understanding of the world situation. Although you are young, you should not be underestimated, Lord Kazekage! However, your tactic of launching a surprise attack in conjunction with Orochimaru is still too impulsive. After all, with the strength of your Sunagakure, even with a surprise attack, it is impossible to cause much damage to our Konoha. On the contrary, it will damage your own strength and benefit other ninja villages in vain."

As Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, the ninjas of Konoha Village began to counterattack against the sudden attack of Sunagakure and Sound Ninja.

At the Chunin Exam venue, Uchiha Itachi took the lead and used his Mangekyō Sharingan to control the runaway Shukaku, allowing it to attack the Sunagakure ninjas in turn. In a distant village, Jiraiya, who had secretly returned to Konoha, used the summoning technique to use a giant toad to summon a spirit beast and began to fight back...

The ninjas of Konoha seemed to have prepared in advance. Facing the attacks of Sand Village and Sound Ninja, they evacuated the ordinary villagers of Konoha to the shelters while launching a counterattack in an orderly manner.

Seeing all this, Luo Sha's face was gloomy, and Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled:

"Did you see that, Lord Kazekage? How could Konoha not be prepared when you guys from Sunagakure made such a big noise? Long before you were ready to launch the attack, we from Konoha had already received the relevant intelligence and were prepared in advance! In the face of absolute strength, even if you guys from Sunagakure contacted Orochimaru's Otogakure, you would not be able to harm the foundation of Konoha."

"So, instead of continuing to dream of striking Konoha with one or two surprise attacks, shouldn't you consider changing your stance, Kazekage? As long as you immediately order a halt to Sunagakure's attacks and join forces with Konoha to deal with the traitor Orochimaru, we will forgive this attack! All the blame will be borne by Orochimaru, and we, Konoha and Sunagakure, will remain allies. How do you think?"

Seeing that the Sand Village ninjas were defeated by Konoha, and even the most important strategic weapon of the Sand Village, the One-Tailed Shukaku, was controlled, Luo Sha's face naturally became more and more embarrassed. But after the embarrassment, Luo Sha's face showed a mocking smile.

"Hehe, Lord Hokage, do you really think I'm as naive as you think? If I change sides now, I'll be forgiven? Haha, you think too highly of the reputation of Konoha!"

As he spoke, Luo Sha looked at the Impure World Reincarnation of the First Hokage and said coldly:

"We once tried to believe in you, and believed that you, the first Hokage of Konoha, could bring peace to the world. But reality tells us that Konoha is not trustworthy at all. You keep saying that you want to maintain peace, but you only verbally claim to understand and other nonsense. You have never given us the land and water that we, the Wind Country, need."

"You just talk nonsense but don't try to solve the problem. You Konoha have been a group of hypocritical gluttons since the first Hokage. You greedily occupy the best resources, but are unwilling to take the slightest responsibility of being the world's hegemon. If you want us to trust you Konoha, I might as well choose to trust the stray dogs on the roadside! At least the stray dogs know to share bones with their companions, but you Konoha have never been stingy!"

"So what?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he looked at the Sand Village ninjas who were being beaten back step by step below:

"Your Sand Village ninjas have been completely suppressed by our Konoha. If you, as the Kazekage, don't make a decision quickly, all the elite ninjas of your generation will die in Konoha Village!"

In this regard, Luo Sha could only sigh:

"That's right. We, the Sunagakure family, are no match for Konoha alone."

"But, Hokage-sama, when did you develop the illusion that only our Sunagakure family was involved in this attack?"

what?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked when he heard this. He looked down and saw the Sand Village ninjas taking off their masks one by one, revealing the forehead protectors of other ninja villages.

In the center of the Chunin Examination Hall, Uchiha Itachi, who was controlling the One-Tailed Shukaku, felt a bolt of lightning coming. Next to him appeared a sturdy ninja with seven long swords on his back and a strange accent.

This is Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Cloud Village!

In the village of the Ninja Village, facing Jiraiya's huge toad summoning beast is the Five-Tailed King Mu, whose white body emits hot steam and keeps rampaging in Konoha Village.

This is the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of the Iwagakure Village, han!

There was also the Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yumokujin, Chojuro, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen... One after another, masters from other ninja villages appeared in Konoha Village and fought side by side with the Sunagakure ninjas, immediately reversing the situation in Konoha Village.

Not only that, several leading ninjas in the crowd also flew up to the platform and stood side by side with Kazekage Rasa. These people included the Third Tsuchikage, the Two-Ryobi, Ohnoki, the Fourth Raikage, Ai, and the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi.

Looking at the Kage-level experts gathered around him, Luo Sha said proudly:

"Hokage-sama, we in the Ninja World are not the only ones who are dissatisfied with the current order!"

Chapter 60 Ninjutsu Professor

Everyone in the entire ninja world, including Uchiha Izumi and Orochimaru, underestimated the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.

As the leader of the weakest of the five major ninja villages, Rasa would not be so naive to think that relying on his own ninja village and Orochimaru to unite, he could injure the strongest ninja village in the world, Konoha. So in addition to Orochimaru, Rasa actually contacted other major ninja villages. He united all the forces that could be united, just for this Konoha destruction plan, to be able to completely damage Konoha.

As it turned out, Luo Sha's decision was correct.

The Wind Kingdom is very dissatisfied with the current situation in the ninja world, and the same is true for the Earth Kingdom, the Lightning Kingdom, and the Water Kingdom.

The big countries in the ninja world actually coveted the fertile land of the Fire Country. They all wanted to change the current situation through war and plunder the rich and fertile land of the Fire Country. The reason why they didn't unite before was that they lacked a diplomatic talent and were afraid of Konoha's overly powerful strength.

Now that they had a talent like Rasa who was good at diplomacy, and the Konoha Ninja Village was at its weakest state in history, the three major ninja villages, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakage, naturally could not suppress their inner desires. With Rasa's instigation, the ninjas from the three major ninja villages all agreed to join the attack on Konoha.

"Hehe, it really is..."

Seeing the three Kages appearing beside him, Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh three times. Uchiha Izumi, who was far away, was also surprised by the movement up there. Both of them had previously regarded Rasa as a tool to attack Konoha, but who would have thought that Rasa would make such a big fuss in secret.

Even the two of them realized at this moment that the plan to destroy Konoha planned by Luo Sha was to unite with the other three major ninja villages to divide Konoha from the beginning. As for the invitation to Orochimaru, it was just icing on the cake. After all, if the four major ninja villages joined forces, even if Konoha was the strongest in the ninja world, it would be difficult to resist.

However, even with such a huge turn of events, Orochimaru still did not let down his guard. Not only Orochimaru, but also the Third Tsuchikage, the Two Heavenly Scales Ōnoki, who was floating in the air, did the same.

"Hey, old Tsuchikage, why are you looking so sullen? We have so many Kage-level warriors here, do we still need to worry about Sarutobi Hiruzen?" The Raikage Ai at the side asked in confusion when he saw Ōnoki's sullen face.

Kazekage Rasa, Raikage Ai, and Mizukage Mei Terumi were all relatively young Hokages. When they were growing up, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had already retired to the second line. By the time they grew up to become Kage-level powerhouses, the Third Hokage had long lost his youth and basically no longer went to the battlefield in person. Therefore, the three of them had no idea of the strength of the Third Hokage in his prime.

In comparison, as the Third Tsuchikage, Ohnoki is an old rival of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and naturally knows how terrifying this former strongest man in the ninja world is. Now Ohnoki himself is old, and his strength is no longer as strong as before, while Sarutobi Hiruzen has restored his youthful strength through some means. With this plus and minus, Ohnoki knows that he is no match for Sarutobi Hiruzen now.

So in response to the Raikage's question, Ohnoki actually nodded and said:

"Be careful, after all, we are facing the legend of the ninja world, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

Sensing Ōnoki's attitude, Terumi Mei, who had the least experience among all the people present, said in surprise:

"Is it that serious? We have the Kages of the four major ninja villages here, as well as Orochimaru and the two Hokage he summoned through the Impure World Reincarnation. There are seven Kage-level warriors in total. Can't we deal with the Third Hokage?"

"You are indeed a young man, thinking that you can't know the world just because you are a Kage." Ohnoki shook his head and said:

"You have to know that the man in front of you is a legendary figure who led the Konoha Ninja Village to defeat two sieges by the four major ninja villages and helped Konoha win two Ninja World Wars. Some people once called him the Ninja Professor, but more people called him the God of Ninja. Because apart from bloodline limits such as Wood Release and Sharingan, even the former First Hokage and Uchiha Madara could not compare to his attainments in ninjutsu!"
