Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching...

Although it was he who proposed the duel, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't care less now. It was better for him to bear some infamy than for Konoha to suffer any damage.

"Shikigami Seal..."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to complete the last seal, Sosuke's speed suddenly increased by several levels. This sudden change interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan.

Originally, according to his estimation, the distance between them would allow him to make three more seals without any problem.

boom!

An extremely heavy force swept over, and Sarutobi Hiruzen flew backwards suddenly, spitting out a mouthful of blood in the air and fell to the ground.

"Sandaime-sama!" The Konoha jonin showed expressions of disbelief.

Their extremely powerful Third Hokage was defeated just like that, losing to the ninja from the Rain Country in a one-on-one battle.

Swish!

The Konoha jonins lost their composure and drew out their weapons to concentrate their chakra.

I have to send my own photos, so why should I care about the rules?

Whoosh! !

Mito Kado En directly took out the scroll he had taken out long ago, summoned a bunch of shurikens with explosive tags on them, and threw them towards Sosuke to prevent him from chasing him.

"Psychic art!"

Orochimaru condensed his chakra and summoned thousands of snakes.

Shisui silently opened his Mangekyō Sharingan and quietly walked towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, so that he could use the God Emperor Reizoun on Sarutobi Hiruzen in time and save Sarutobi Hiruzen's life.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

Nagato had been paying close attention to the battlefield. He rushed forward as quickly as possible and released explosive talismans, which detonated all the shurikens away.

"Haha, so the one-on-one duel you Konoha guys are talking about is a one-on-one duel between you, a group of ninjas and our leader alone."

Kakuzu formed seals with his hands, and a large number of thin black tentacles burst out from behind him, and two Earth Wrath Masks moved to his shoulders.

Lao Zi walked forward silently, gathering his chakra and ready to attack at any time.

His identity is rather special, and any rash action might bring trouble to the Ninja Clan, so he has to wait until the war actually breaks out.

The rest of the Shinobi clan ninjas were also not afraid and took out their weapons to prepare for a fight with the Konoha ninjas.

For a moment, the atmosphere became tense, and both the Konoha ninjas and the Shinobi clan ninjas were ready to fight desperately.

Mu Yue ignored the Konoha ninjas who were taking action and quickly walked towards the fallen Sarutobi Hiruzen.

A large number of attacks came towards Mu Yue, but they were all blocked by the Ninjas of the Ninja Clan.

The Ten Thousand Snakes broke through the defense line with their huge bodies and bit towards Mu Yue, but were forced back by a huge cube that fell from the sky without warning.

Seeing that the war had officially begun, Lao Zi also took action directly, spitting out a large number of molten fireballs at the Konoha ninjas.

"The Ninja Clan actually has another powerful Lava Release Ninja?" Mizuto Menyan frowned.

This was beyond his expectations. He only counted two strong men, Nagato and Kakuzu, but he didn't expect that the Ninja Clan would quietly have another strong man of the Lava Release technique.

Mitomon En was puzzled as to how the ninjas from this force could hide so well.

Seeing that Sosuke and Sarutobi Hiruzen were getting closer and closer, Mito Kado En was extremely anxious.

Whether considering his identity or interpersonal relationships, he did not want Sarutobi Hiruzen to die.

"No, he doesn't seem to have the intention to kill." Shisui, who had already condensed a large amount of chakra in his Mangekyō Sharingan, suppressed the idea of ​​using eye techniques.

He felt that Sosuke might not necessarily kill Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Because if Sosuke wanted to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen, he didn't have to walk over, he could just use ninjutsu.

As for why others didn't think of this, Shisui thought maybe they were too hasty?

Of course, it is also possible that others thought that Sosuke wanted to approach and kill.

Shisui watched the two of them silently.

With the insight of the Mangekyō Sharingan, he should be able to give the Divine Emperor Reijo in time before Sosuke made a move.

Noticing Sosuke coming, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was trying to get up, subconsciously took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag and stabbed at Sosuke.

Under Mu Yue's gaze, the kunai in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand shrank rapidly, and almost instantly, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that his hand became empty.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt an indescribable feeling of powerlessness in his heart.

This feeling of powerlessness was even stronger than when he saw Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama fighting when he was young.

It’s not that Sosuke’s strength surpassed theirs, but at that time Sarutobi Hiruzen only needed to watch, but now he is fighting with Sosuke personally.

Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed.

It is not a flattering smile, nor a smile of satisfaction and relief, but a self-deprecating smile.

It was so ridiculous. He found himself so ridiculous this time.

He went to fight Sosuke with full confidence, but in the end he didn't even touch Sosuke once.

They said it was for Konoha's reputation, but in fact it was mainly because of personal vengeance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is not afraid of death. The average life expectancy of ninjas in the Warring States period decades ago was only 30 years old, but he is 54 years old this year, which is the sum of the lifespans of two shorter-lived Warring States ninjas.

What made him feel uneasy was that he had made such a big mistake in the last period of his life.

His death is a small matter. If Konoha suffers a setback because of this, he will be too ashamed to face the first and second generations even after his death.

"I'm sorry, Mu Yue." Sarutobi Hiruzen apologized to Mu Yue in his heart.

Mu Yue could have trained peacefully as the Hokage's assistant for several years, and then become Hokage and lead Konoha to a new peak.

As a result of his willfulness and misjudgment, Mu Yue will soon be forced to succeed the throne of Hokage, and may also have to face Sosuke's revenge and a series of chain reactions triggered by his mistakes.

Even Mu Yue's favorite disciple Shisui might be killed by him. How could Sarutobi Hiruzen not feel guilty?

At this time, Mu Yue reached out and grabbed Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put up a final resistance and struggle. He was the Hokage, and as long as he had a bit of strength left in him, he would fight to the end so as not to disgrace the name of Hokage.

Shisui, who was fighting with the Shinobi Clan ninja, had beads of sweat on his forehead and the tension in his heart reached its peak.

There is no way. Once the Divine Emperor uses the Spirit Master, it may be several years or even later before he can use it again. He must use it with caution, otherwise what if Mu Yue encounters danger again.

"Hiruzen!"

Mito Kado En was extremely anxious, but he was unable to get rid of Kakuzu's entanglement and could not get close to Sosuke.

"Ok?"

Orochimaru, who was fighting with Nagato, kept an eye on Sarutobi Hiruzen, noticed something, and withdrew some of his strength.

"Hokage, you can't just lie down and rest after an intense workout."

Mu Yue directly pulled Sarutobi Hiruzen up and slapped Sarutobi Hiruzen on the shoulder with a palm magic.

Although there were various factors, no matter what, Sarutobi Hiruzen still helped Mu Yue a lot, and he never thought of killing Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Of course, since it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who took the initiative to cause trouble this time, Mu Yue would not hesitate to take advantage of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In fact, if Mu Yue wanted to defeat Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not be able to use many ninjutsu.

The reason why he let Sarutobi Hiruzen continuously release powerful ninjutsu to take the opportunity to demonstrate his abilities was to let Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others realize one thing, that Sosuke was very strong, not just ordinary strong.

This will make it easier for Mu Yue to carry out her subsequent plans.

"Sosuke you…"

Feeling his body healing, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned and looked at Sosuke in confusion.

What the hell? The enemy I just fought to death is suddenly healing me.

Seeing this, Shisui felt relieved and his pupil technique was saved.

"What's going on? This guy actually?"

The Konoha jonin noticed this scene and showed extremely confused expressions.

Although they were all fighting, everyone was more or less paying attention to the situation on Sarutobi Hiruzen's side, after all, the battle was caused by them.

"Stop, this is just a sparring match." Mu Yue shouted to the fighting ninjas.

The battle had just begun, only a few ninjas were slightly injured, and no ninjas were sacrificed.

The most beloved leader personally gave the order, and the Shinobi clan ninjas withdrew smoothly.

The Konoha ninjas did not continue to attack, but looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Sosuke, and finally sighed and nodded, "Stop, there is no need to fight."

He didn't know what Sosuke was up to, but it would be good for them to stop now.

If the fight continues, Konoha will definitely suffer heavy losses. Without him, it would be a relief if Orochimaru and the others could escape.

Mito Kado En walked quickly to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side, glanced at Sosuke warily, and then asked Sarutobi Hiruzen in a low voice:

"Hiruzen are you okay?"

"Thanks to Sosuke's timely treatment, it's not serious." Sarutobi Hiruzen replied.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had recovered from his serious injuries, Mu Yue let go of Sarutobi Hiruzen, lest Sarutobi Hiruzen think that he wanted to leave something on his body.

Mito Kado En quickly protected Sarutobi Hiruzen behind him and retreated, and the other Konoha ninjas also protected Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But soon Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped, forcing the other Konoha ninjas to stop as well.

"Sosuke, I'm not as good as you. You won this battle." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a complicated expression.

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen has his own pride. In his life, he only had the thought that he was not as good as three people, namely Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara and Mu Yue.

Now there is a fourth one, and that is Sosuke.

I don’t know what the principle is, but peerless geniuses rarely appear alone. Either they don’t appear, or when they do, there are two of them.

Decades ago, there were Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, and now there are Mu Yue and Sosuke.

"There is always someone better than you. There are too many strong people in the ninja world." Shisui said in his heart.

He originally thought that Mu Yue was strong enough, but he didn't expect that Sosuke was even more unfathomable than Mu Yue.

Even a powerful ninja like Sarutobi Hiruzen could be defeated almost crushingly.

"This guy Danzo has actually brought such a huge disaster to the village." Mizuto Menyan thought indignantly.

He didn't think it was Sarutobi Hiruzen's fault. If Danzo Shimura hadn't taken action on his own to assassinate Sosuke, how could things have turned out like this?

This is a terrifying existence whose strength is close to that of the Ninja God.

"I wonder if his cells have special abilities?"

Orochimaru observed Sosuke out of the corner of his eye and suddenly felt regretful. Sosuke was not injured at all during the whole process and did not drop any materials.

"Hokage, your combination ninjutsu is very good. I will probably not forget it for a long time." Mu Yue responded with a faint smile.

Mu Yue's answer made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel even more complicated.

He came here with the intention of killing Sosuke, but Sosuke didn't kill him and even praised his ninjutsu.

He seemed to have lost completely in every aspect.

Kakuzu walked to Mu Yue's side, watched Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others leave, and then asked in a low voice:

"Just let them go like this? If the Ninja Clan continues to grow, it will definitely come into conflict with the five major ninja villages. After all, the Land of Fire is still our neighbor."

The current situation in the ninja world is that the five major ninja villages divide up most of the resources, and the remaining small ninja villages and other ninja forces pick up the leftovers from the five major ninja villages.

If the Ninja Clan continues to develop, Kakuzu believes that the five major ninja villages will definitely not sit idly by. The emergence of the sixth major ninja force will inevitably have a huge impact on the original pattern.

Since they were already at odds with Konoha, Kakuzu thought killing Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others was a good option.

You have to know that there are two high-ranking Konoha officials here, one of whom is the Hokage, and one of the three Konoha ninja representatives, Orochimaru, is also present.

If they all died, Konoha would not only lose three powerful men, but its prestige would also be affected.

"It's okay. It's better to have a conflict. It's better to do it together to save trouble." Mu Yue replied with a smile.

"Come together? What do you mean?" Kakuzu looked at Sosuke in confusion.

It can't be that Sosuke wants to wipe out all the big ninja villages at once.

"Maybe that's what you mean." Mu Yue replied, and then quickly swept his eyes across all the black cubes and collected the cubes back into Mahakala.
