Alone and Infinite

Page 283

Just as I was about to leave, for some reason, the image of Li Xia smiling and serving tea under the shade of a tree suddenly appeared in my mind.

"Neji, do you think that the stronger person is guaranteed to win?"

He was startled.

Roll your eyes, open!

Hearing a slight rustling sound from the ground beneath his feet, Neji, who was already on high alert, reacted instantly.

He leaped backward, his eyes meeting those of Naruto Uzumaki, who burst out of the mud, his face filled with astonishment.

Almost instinctively, the Eight Trigrams Palm struck Naruto Uzumaki hard in the abdomen.

Even in that split second, Neji unleashed a palm strike that he rarely used.

"Bah!"

Naruto suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and flew far away.

There was an uproar!

Aowu raised his head blankly: "This isn't right! It's not like the script."

Li Xia was unaware that it was precisely his words yesterday that led to today's outcome.

He was rubbing his chin, watching the scene with great interest. Now, how should this end?

Surprisingly, Naruto Uzumaki emerged victorious in the end.

This kid is cheating again. With the Nine-Tails' chakra restoring him, he got up as if nothing had happened.

In the end, he created hundreds of clones, which completely exhausted Neji.

Awoo:

"Let's go, it's time to get ready."

Li Xia patted Aowu's head, then turned to look at Naruto Uzumaki, who was raising his hands to accept the villagers' cheers.

They entered the corridor.

"Da da da"

Footsteps echoed in the corridor. In the small room, three Jonin from the Hyuga clan raised their heads and stared outside.

"grown ups?"

Hinata Takashi stood up, his gaze towards Li Xia revealing a mixture of worry and excitement.

Hyuga Himon and Hyuga Iroha, who were standing beside him, also had solemn expressions.

They only just learned of their mission from Hiashi Hyuga.

From a personal perspective, they naturally hope for stability in the village.

But if something really happens, that's another story.

Li Xia nodded: "Get ready!"

The three took a deep breath: "Yes!"

He changed into lightweight armor without any markings and put on colored goggles to cover his eyes.

He casually cut some of his hair with a kunai, and finally pulled up the mask to cover the lower half of his face.

Finally, he put on a long robe.

Li Xia looked at the three figures in front of him, and his heart began to race.

My usually calm mind was now slightly disturbed.

war!

"go!"

A faint mist and a soft pink glow permeated the venue.

Wherever he went, the audience looked as if they had been up for three days and three nights, their eyes gradually becoming dazed, and then they slumped into their seats and fell asleep.

"Illusion?"

Kakashi looked at the suddenly silent audience and his expression turned serious.

Of the 20,000 spectators present, only a very small fraction were able to detect the illusion and counter it in time.

Even so, these sober people still didn't know what had happened, and stood in their seats looking around with puzzled expressions.

Only the Jonin and the Anbu were able to keenly sense the impending storm.

"Protect Daimyo!"

Two squads from the secret service immediately rushed out, landing around the daimyo with just a few leaps, warily surveying their surroundings.

The remaining Anbu members charged directly towards the Hokage's location.

【announcement!】

[Second Main Quest: The Fourth Shinobi World War, a Pre-Rehearsal, Begins!]

The announcement from the Temple of Light floated before the eyes of every apostle.

Everyone's breathing became heavy.

Finally started!

So--

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A violent explosion occurred in the stands, and thick smoke billowed up instantly. Scattered limbs and blood rained down in all directions.

On the panel in front of him, the points were refreshing like flowing water, although most of them were the most basic genin.

But the exhilarating feeling of scrolling through the screen brought a look of ecstatic joy to one of the apostles' faces.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

A masked ninja appeared silently behind him, and a gleaming short sword pierced through his chest without hesitation.

The ecstasy on his face suddenly turned into astonishment.

idiot!

The apostles hidden inside the arena looked at the apostle who had just laughed out loud and was then killed with different expressions.

Are other people just not smart enough? Couldn't they have thought of planting a bomb in the stadium?

In the Naruto world, explosive tags are comparable to dynamite, and the Anbu has a detailed procedure for handling explosions.

A time bomb is difficult to place; it will definitely be neutralized. The only option is to carry it into the venue by body.

If you expose it, you're very likely to get caught red-handed.

Li Xia leaped into the flagpole of the stadium and slowly raised his head amidst many puzzled gazes.

"Oh!"

A signal flare, as dazzling as fireworks, shot into the sky from the signal gun in his hand, trailing a blinding plume of smoke.

It exploded into a dazzling display of firework, its vibrant flames illuminating everyone's eyes.

This signal was sent to both the apostles and the hidden spies within the city.

A slight smile appeared on Li Xia's face as he looked at the crowd below.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let the revelry begin!"

Inside the music store, Kai suddenly raised his head, rushed out of the store, and stared intently at the signal flare soaring into the sky.

This was the signal he had been dreaming of!

After confirming the color and shape of the signal flare several times, Kai, suppressing his pounding heart, picked up the transmitter—a communication tool with a short range.

"Signal confirmed, commence operation!"

"Psychic art!"

Eight scrolls, crisscrossed, formed a large magic array.

Several Sand Ninja simultaneously pressed their summoning techniques onto the scroll, and a cloud of smoke billowed into the sky.

Three giant snakes with red ropes tied around their necks suddenly appeared, raising their heads and letting out a huge hiss.

The Sand Village Jonin in charge of the matter wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he watched the colossal serpent, hundreds of meters long and blotting out the sky, slither towards Konoha Village.

Wherever it went, the soil churned up, and large trees were crushed like toothpicks. Even its normal crawling left deep furrows in the ground.

A smile couldn't help but appear on his face. This enormous monster, coupled with Gaara, the ultimate weapon of Sunagakure.

Konoha will be completely destroyed this time!

"Gudu Gudu"

In the river that runs through Konoha, a faint ripple appeared on the surface of the water, as if it were boiling.

A semi-transparent human figure formed by the water flow slowly rose from the water's surface.

He watched with great interest the billowing smoke from the examination site and the three giant snake summoning beasts rushing straight towards Konoha.

"I didn't expect what those Chunin said to be true; it's actually somewhat useful."

The figure mumbled a few words, then shattered into sparkling water droplets that splashed into the water and disappeared.

"It's time for Kirigakure to make a move!"

Huang Tu, who was waiting at the border, put away the letter in his hand, and a smile appeared on his chubby face.

Just as her father had predicted, the commotion Akatsuki made in the Land of Earth was to attract the attention of Iwagakure.

To prevent Iwagakure from having time to get involved in certain things.

Looking at the other four great nations, the Sand Kingdom is too poor to warrant such a large-scale operation.

The Land of Water is not only poor but also arrogant. Poor and arrogant, it is isolated overseas and has been on the mainland for many years. No one would be foolish enough to attack the Land of Water.

The Land of Lightning is too remote, and the current Raikage is extremely powerful. Although he has a fiery temper, he has capable subordinates. A few years ago, he used a little trick to kill the dissenting elder in Konoha.

It also saved the life of the Hyuga clan's 'headmaster'.

The village is currently a united front, and it's even less likely to be the Land of Thunder.

After ruling out all the impossibilities, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, made a decisive judgment.

Then it must be Konoha from the Land of Fire!

Despite its apparent strength, the Hokage was actually facing a generational gap, with the Third Hokage already old and aging, spending his days thinking about pushing his son into the position.

Only Konoha is wealthy enough to afford such a grand display.

Therefore, they decisively dispatched an advance force to secretly assemble at the border.

Now, news has finally arrived from Konoha's spies, confirming all of Father's suspicions.

Something has changed in Konoha!

Huang Tu waved his hand, his voice carrying a hint of heroic ambition.

"Destination—Konoha Village! 3 hours, forced march!"

"laugh"

The kunai slicing through the air made a loud whooshing sound, and landed precisely on the forehead of the genin whose face was filled with terror.
