Konoha's Black Absolute Rebirth

The big meteorite-like ball floating in the air was witnessed by many examiners present.

According to Hongdou's report, the big ball sucked all the creatures within a radius of about one kilometer onto the ball and killed them all!

That... is not a ninjutsu that genin can unleash...

Even...as Hokage, he couldn't release it, let alone, he had never even heard of that kind of ninjutsu...

Looking at it this way, the person who released him could only be Orochimaru.

"well……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a long sigh and said to Anko: "The exam must continue. You should organize the candidates who have passed the test first. However, you must pay close attention to Orochimaru's movements..."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Hongdou said quickly and immediately left the monitoring room.

"besides……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head to Gangzitie again: "Contact various departments and ask them to take all precautions in the near future, and even... be ready to fight at any time!"

"Yes! Hokage-sama!"

Gang Zitie responded, then turned and left.

…

A few minutes later.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his back to the gate and looked at the entire Konoha Village from the window. He said slightly sadly: "Xiang, you have already heard the information about Orochimaru taking the Chunin Exam."

At the door of the office, a masked figure immediately responded: "Yes, Hokage-sama, my subordinates have learned this information."

"Um……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was a little low: "Then he released the moon-like ninjutsu during the chunin exam, right?"

"My subordinates know."

"Then why do you think he released this ninjutsu?"

"this……"

Xiang hesitated for a moment, and then said calmly: "According to the information left by the ANBU in the past, Orochimaru is not the kind of person who will show his trump cards blatantly. In this case, there must be a reason for him to do this..."

"And according to my guess... there are two reasons."

"First, that ninjutsu is not his trump card. He has more powerful trump cards at his disposal."

"As for the second one... I guess that by making the momentum so huge, he might want to convey some information to someone..."

"Um……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was still looking out the window, so that no one could see his expression: "Then which one do you think it is?"

Xiang was silent for a moment, and then said: "This... I don't know this, please ask the Hokage for clarity!"

At this moment, Xiang's body trembled.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, it's normal if you can't guess it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and said slowly: "I guess... it should be the second type. What he wants to convey... should be the message of [danger]."

Xiang didn't dare to pick up the fight.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "As for who this message was sent to, I don't know very well. Maybe it's because I'm old and I just like to make random guesses..."

After saying that, he turned his head back, looked at Xiang, and said with his usual kind smile: "Go down and convey my order to all ANBU members. Remember, it is all members. Tell them to be vigilant at all times."

, once there is any situation, report to me immediately."

"yes!"

After a reply, Xiang hurriedly excused himself.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was the only one left in the house.

He lit up his pipe, took a deep breath, and his expression became a little sad again...

…

A few more minutes later.

Konoha Underground.

【Root】Headquarters.

In the dark building, a few beams of dim light became the only way to illuminate the hall.

Among them, there is an old man with squinted eyes and a vague expression on his face, making it difficult to tell what he is thinking.

As for the other person, even though he was wearing a mask, he still showed a hint of respect.

The old man had no expression on his face and said, "Xiang, Hiruzen... what did he say to you?"

Xiang did not dare to delay and quickly repeated everything the Third Hokage said.

After listening to everything Xiang reported, Danzo snorted coldly.

"Hmph...that guy Hiruzen really knows how to act according to circumstances. The reason why he deliberately interpreted it like this in front of you is just to use it to beat me."

Hearing this, Xiang felt even more confused and said, "Then...Danzo-sama, does Orochimaru-sama's move actually have a deeper meaning?"

Danzo's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "From my point of view, Orochimaru's move is to convey to me that he is bound to win this time!"

"I had a secret conversation with Orochimaru's subordinate, Kabuto, before. At that time, I showed some hesitation towards Kabuto. In other words, I had doubts about their strength."

"Presumably, Kabuto has conveyed all this to Orochimaru, and Orochimaru's action this time must be to break my doubts and tell me something."

"That is, even though he has exposed such strength, he is still confident that he can win in the next plan!"

On the sidelines, after listening to Danzo's words, Xiang suddenly understood and said with admiration: "So that's it... you are worthy of Danzo-sama!"

However, Danzo's expression remained unchanged, showing no complacency and he did not say anything more about it.

After all, he has lived in the shadow of Konoha for many years, and if he can't even solve this riddle, he will really be ashamed of his dark life for so many years.

"It's just... an elephant."

Danzo thought for a moment, then spoke again: "You should always pay attention to Orochimaru's movements. If he really put that big ball, then his strength may be a bit too strong. If it is not restricted, it is very likely that he will

It will come back to bite us in the future.”

"Yes!" Xiang said respectfully, and quickly left without staying any longer.

Wait for the elephant to leave.

Danzo looked at the huge buildings buried deep underground like the Root Headquarters, with a complex expression on his face, and murmured: "... Next, the sun will shine into the roots of Konoha, which are dim all day long, reflecting the growth rings of history, and also...

The shape will be rewritten..."

After speaking, he looked at his right arm.

There was another moment of silence.

Danzo turned around and walked away slowly.

And at this moment, Danzo's eyes were filled with murderous intent...!

…

at the same time.

In a small room in the central tower.

Kabuto looked apologetic and reported the results of the second exam to Orochimaru.

Lord Orochimaru once sent him to collect the latest information on Uchiha Sasuke, but he found nothing.

This is one of his few failures.

Moreover, they were not able to obtain even a single piece of information about the little devil. This was a very low-level failure.

"I'm sorry, Orochimaru-sama, I couldn't get any information about Uchiha Sasuke...these brats' intuition seems to be extremely sharp, and I couldn't even get close to them."

After saying that, Kabuto lowered his head and fell silent.

In front of him, Orochimaru smiled and didn't say anything about it.

After all, there was an unimaginable kid with them, so it was normal that Kabuto failed to get the information.

"It's okay, Kabuto, it's not your fault, and..."

Orochimaru licked his lips and said with a wicked smile: "I have another goal now..."

"Another target?" Kabuto asked confused.

But immediately, he had a flash of inspiration and his face became confident again.

After all, as a confidant of Lord Orochimaru, this matter is easy to guess.

He pushed up his glasses, and a ray of wisdom appeared in the lenses.

"You're referring to...Naruto Uzumaki, right?"

"……no."

"..."
