Konoha: This is called taijutsu!

This is a tug-of-war, with one ebbing and the other ebbing.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was getting old after all, and gradually began to lose his strength.

"Hmph, teacher, farewell." Orochimaru sneered, and he could already feel the power of the god of death gradually weakening.

Even the God of Death can't kill him!

However, now that things have happened, Sarutobi Hiruzen is determined to die, so how can he make it easier for him.

"Orochimaru!" With an angry shout, Sarutobi Hiruzen directly activated his Shinigami ability. The Shinigami behind him took off the short sword in his mouth, licked it, and chopped it off!

"don't want!"

Orochimaru screamed, and then part of his soul was cut off. His chakra aura weakened rapidly, his body sank, and he half-knelt on the ground, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen in shock and anger.

laugh!

As the seal was completed, a burnt mark appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's abdomen. Immediately afterwards, the Shinigami swallowed Orochimaru's soul into his belly and licked the corner of his mouth greedily again.

"Lord Orochimaru!" Kabuto ducked to Orochimaru's side. Seeing Orochimaru's miserable state and his hands hanging down, Kabuto was shocked in his heart.

Sweating in cold sweat, Orochimaru felt the severe pain in his arms as he survived the disaster.

As if being cut off alive, the pain in both arms was felt all the time, and it couldn't be relieved!

What's even more fatal is that because of the loss of his soul, this severe pain will last for a long time. If this pain is not relieved, it will drive him crazy sooner or later!

"Let's go." He no longer paid attention to Sarutobi Hiruzen who fell on the ground. The figures of Orochimaru and Kabuto blended into the ground and disappeared. His goal was achieved, but he also paid a heavy price.

"Hokage-sama."

Several figures came to the dying Sarutobi Hiruzen, it was Nara Shikaku, followed by several ANBU.

"Ahem..." Hiruzen Sarutobi still had a breath. He opened his eyes with a willpower, looked at the person who came, and said angrily: "No, don't destroy... the Sarutobi clan..."

"Hokage-sama, you will be Konoha's hero."

Nara Shikaku pronounced the fate of Sarutobi Hiruzen, but did not give him any guarantees.

He couldn't give it either. The fate of the Sarutobi clan was already doomed and they would be buried together with the truth. No one could change it!

Chapter 257 Five Shadows Talk

Konoha, the venue for the official Chunin Examination competition.

Uchiha Chen appeared at the place where Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen were fighting. He looked at the traces of the battle around him with an expressionless face, and felt no emotion in his heart.

If this was Senju Hashirama's heyday, no, even if the rope tree used its full power to descend once, the entire venue would be razed to the ground!

This kind of wooden escape that couldn't even destroy a building seemed a bit funny.

Of course, this level of ninjutsu is more than enough to deal with jounin, even an average shadow-level expert.

"Master Chen, Master Hokage asked me to tell you that everything went well."

"Yes." Uchiha nodded, walked to the body of Sarutobi Hiruzen, picked up the Kusanagi sword left by Orochimaru, and said casually: "Do you understand what to do?"

Nara Shikaku is a smart man who knows what he should do and what he should say.

"The Third Hokage and the Root Chief Danzo died fighting to protect Konoha.... The Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan bravely resisted Kumogakure's invasion and suffered heavy losses. The whole clan was wiped out."

"Remember to tell Naoki the news, he will collect the debt from Raikage." Before leaving, Uchiha Chen reminded him.

"yes."

After doing this, Uchiha took the Kusanagi sword away and directly launched the Flying Thunder God to leave Konoha.

it's all over.

The time goes back to half a month before the official competition of the Chunin Examination.

Half a month ago...

The border between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Tang.

Naoki and two Anbu took the road to the Kingdom of Iron to attend the Five Shadows Conference, and the journey was uneventful.

Suddenly, one of the ANBU paused, and then...

Bang!

White smoke rises and shadow clones appear.

"Fell into a trap!"

Two Root members walked out of the forest. The poisonous insects, which were so tiny that they were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, quickly climbed up the rope tree and the body of another ANBU. Then they looked at the three people disappearing into white smoke, and their expressions changed slightly.

"Has it been discovered?" Danzo walked out of the shadows and stood in front of the two of them.

"Danzo-sama, what should we do?"

Both of them are Danzo's cronies and elite members of his inner circle, otherwise they would not be brought out by him to carry out such an assassination mission.

"Let's go back."

At this point, Danzo was ready to leave.

despair……

However, when they turned around and were about to leave, four figures appeared on the other side of the road, wearing black robes with red clouds. The breeze blew by, and a chilling atmosphere filled the air.

Two elite elites took half a step forward and stood in front of Danzo.

"Huh?" A figure with white hair, slicked back and holding a March Scythe saw the situation. He looked at the three of them a little unruly and said: "Who are you!? If you dare to block my way! I will kill you. !”

Among the four people present, he was the only one not wearing the iconic black and red cloud robe.

The other three remained silent. Konan and Uchiha Itachi didn't speak, with calm expressions on their faces.

"Shimura Danzo, the price of the head offered as a bounty on the black market a week ago was raised to 300 million taels..." Kakuzu saw Danzo, his eyes glowed red, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "He must die here today. "

"Huh? What, is this guy so valuable? But as long as I want his life, I don't need the money." Hidan became interested, but he was more interested in killing Danzo.

"He is my prey!"

Kakuzu didn't continue to talk nonsense with Hidan, he directly raised his hand and released the Earth Resentment Yu, Ninjutsu release!

"Fire Escape! Head hard!"

"Wind escape! Pressure!"

Boom! !

The explosion resounded and directly submerged Danzo and the three of them. This was a battle without any suspense. Danzo was just an elite jounin who mastered a large number of secret and forbidden techniques.

It is simply a dream to fight against at least three shadow-level experts by yourself!

The battle ended with Danzo killed in the battle and his body taken to the black market by Kakuzu in exchange for the reward.

Half a month later, the Kingdom of Iron.

On the day of the official competition of the Chunin Examination, Naoki also arrived in the Land of Iron.

The remaining four Kages, the third Tsuchikage Onoki, the fourth Raikage Ai, the fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei, and the fourth Kazekage Rasa are all waiting here.

"I have kept you waiting for a long time." After the arrival of the rope tree, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Among them, Ohnoki and Ai both looked unhappy.

The Fourth Raikage even said angrily: "Hokage, are you too late?"

Shengshu was not angry, but said with an apologetic look: "Sorry, I encountered a small matter and was delayed for a while."

"snort!"

The Fourth Raikage saw this and did not continue to attack. He had fought with the rope tree more than once, and he knew very well that the power of the rope tree would never be inferior to him.

As the shadow of a village, although he has a bad temper, he can clearly distinguish the important and the important.

"Hokage, tell me, what are you doing here with us?" Onoki asked straight to the point.

This meeting of the Five Kages was initiated by Nawaki. Originally, neither he nor the Fourth Raikage wanted to come, but both Rasa and Terumi Mei agreed, which forced them to nod.

There is no real alliance between the five major ninja villages, there are only mutual interests.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to watch Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure reach some tacit understanding. This is absolutely not allowed.

"Don't worry, before that..." Naoki looked at the Fourth Raikage, his face suddenly condensed, and said: "Raikage-sama, can you explain why you want to assassinate our Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha? Is there anyone who attacks Konoha during the Chuunin Exams and steals the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan?"

quiet……

The entire conference room was eerily quiet.

The other three shadows all looked at the sudden attack of the rope tree with stunned expressions, even Ohnoki, but then the three of them showed expressions of watching the show.

It's not normal for this kind of thing to happen between great ninja villages. Usually, they are just trying to show off their tricks. After all, no one wants to really break up with each other, or even start a direct war.

The repeated forbearance during the period of Sarutobi Hiruzen also made Kumogakure more and more unscrupulous in his actions towards Konoha, but Naoki is not Sarutobi Hiruzen!

His expression froze, and then the Fourth Raikage Ai showed a furious expression and smashed the table in front of him with one punch!

boom!

"Hokage! Are you here to declare war!?"

"Don't get me wrong, Kumogakure is now declaring war on us, Konoha."

Naoshu shook his head indifferently. The crime of initiating a war was definitely not a good reputation, and even if a war really started, it would easily affect morale, and no one was willing to bear it.

Besides, he was right, what Yunyin did had touched his bottom line.

As soon as the Five Shadows Talk began, the scene was plunged into a tense atmosphere.

"Lord Raikage..." The Raikage guard on the side reminded him hurriedly, allowing the Fourth Raikage to regain some sense.

Although he was still glaring at the rope tree angrily, the Fourth Raikage still snorted coldly and continued: "Hokage, I won't waste time with you, just tell me your conditions."

"It's very simple. I want to have a fight with the Fourth Raikage."

"Um?"

The Fourth Raikage's expression turned serious when he heard this. It was no small matter for the Kages of two major ninja villages to fight each other. In the past, this situation would only occur in the case of a great war in the ninja world.

After all, as the backbone of a village, no one would risk their lives easily and damage the foundation of the entire village.

The expressions of the other three Kages also changed slightly. Maybe this is going to be a ninja war!

"Don't get me wrong." Seeing this situation, Naoki stood up and explained: "It's just a normal competition. If the Fourth Raikage wins, I will no longer pursue these matters. And if I win, I hope that Kumogakure Village can Support my subsequent proposals.”

"Hmph!" The Fourth Raikage Ai also stood up, his burly body containing explosive power.

"Okay! If I fight you, I want to see if you have become stronger over the years!"

Full of fighting spirit, the Fourth Raikage was even a little happy. This method suited him. Compared to sitting at the negotiation table and wasting time, he preferred this method of talking with his fists.

This is also the purpose of the rope tree. After all, the strength between the Ninja Village still depends on the strength.

If the Fourth Raikage cannot be defeated, whatever he says next will be useless. The Fourth Raikage will certainly not support him even if he does not oppose it.

Chapter 258 Ninja United Force!

"Thunder level!"

Whoosh! boom!

The blue lightning streaked across the space and hit the rope tree. At such an extreme speed, it was impossible to dodge the blow.

However, the power of the rope tree is not weak, and with the chakra far above the average Kage level, he can directly punch the Fourth Raikage.

The violent shock wave spread.

The three shadow-level powerhouses who were watching the battle from a distance frowned. The power of the two of them was so amazing that it was hard to imagine that this was the kind of power that flesh and blood could unleash.

"That guy Raikage's thunder escape chakra mode has been perfected, and the thunder escape armor is also indestructible. There is no reason to lose, but..."

Onomu looked at the rope tree that had not been suppressed, and was not even used by Mu Dun, which he was famous for, and felt a little shocked in his heart.

This level of duel usually involves comparing each other's areas of expertise, finding the other's weaknesses, and defeating the enemy.

After all, not everyone can be as proficient in everything and have a strong foundation like Uchiha Chen.

His Dust Escape is unparalleled in its destructive power, but consumes a lot of chakra. Raikage's speed, attack and defense are terrible, with minimal shortcomings.

This is also the reason why the Raikages of the past generations in Hidden Cloud Village have extremely strong characters. The chakra and strength of the Kage-level strong men have reached their end. The winner or loser often does not depend on who is stronger. After all, the gap is really not that big. Who has fewer flaws!

"The power of Naruto and Tsunade-hime should be of the same origin, but it seems to have been suppressed by the Fourth Raikage, and even the wooden escape has no time to release it." Terumi Mei showed an intriguing smile.
