Chapter 100
🕑 Added 2023-10-23 10:37:49 +0000 UTCRanmaru, who was sitting next to him, described to the First Mizukage the course of hostilities in Konoha, looking with his red eyes into the distance from Hashirama's head.
“Suna, of course yes, a little... disappointing, even considering my interference in the plan,” Yudao shook his head with a grin.
"A little disappointing" was also a compliment, because Suna's forces were now completely overwhelmed by Konoha's forces.
It is not at all surprising that Suna suffered a crushing defeat even in the original, against an unprepared Konoha.
After all, in fact, they did not have a single higher combat unit at the front, and another one of the Five Great Villages is called...
The point is not only in the overwhelming power of the highest combat units, but until such a shinobi himself dies, the rest will follow him, fighting tooth and nail, no matter how terrible the situation may be. And not like now, as soon as you put more pressure on them and that’s it, almost no one can pull themselves together to desperately resist with all their might.
It is important to note here that Konoha has not yet used all its forces. Until now, only Anbu subordinate to the Hokage and civilian shinobi took part in the fighting, that’s all.
Representatives of the Hyuuga, Akimichi, Nara, Aburame and other clans of Konoha were still not seen, not to mention the forces of the Root Anbu.
That is, the so-called “Konoha Destruction Plan” did not even force the said Konoha to show its true power.
“Well, they probably pinned their hopes on Bijuu... plus Orochimaru...” Yudao grinned wryly.
But the current Jinchuriki of the One-Tail is far from the same ideal Jinchuriki from Kumo, and Orochimaru never intended to help Suna and pursued purely personal motives.
Speaking of Orochimaru, Suna should thank Yudao here, because although they found themselves in an even more terrible situation, the Sannin also could not act according to the plan and chill out, as was the case in the original.
-Where are ours? – Yudao asked, looking at Konoha below.
“Onee-chan Ameyuri is already here with the others!” – After a short silence, joy was reflected on Ranmaru’s face.
Following the words of the Swordsman of the Mist.
There was a clap of thunder at the gates of Konoha.
And the massive wooden doors shattered into pieces!
In the Konoha arena.
Orochimaru's face twisted into a dark grimace.
Operating surrounded by Anbu was much more difficult than the original plan.
“You can’t escape, Orochimaru,” Hiruzen said with conflicting emotions.
“I didn’t mean to, such an old man couldn’t stop me,” the Sannin licked his lips predatorily and lightly tugged the kunai at the Third Hokage’s neck.
The blade touched the skin, and a thin stream of blood flowed down the neck.
"Hokage-sama!" – the Anbu around them exclaimed.
“So you’re not going to give up without a fight?” It was necessary to team up with Suna to attack Konoha. You have disappointed me, greatly disappointed me...” Hiruzen said coldly, not caring about the wound.
After these words, a tense atmosphere hung in the air.
Until the attention of everyone present was attracted by an explosion.
Hiruzen looked towards the gate out of the corner of his eye and became even more gloomy; the old man no longer had a face.
Another Suna squad?
They could have easily detected the approach of enemy forces to the village gates, if not for the destruction of the sensitive barrier.
“Sensei, I advise you to be careful, otherwise your beloved Konoha... will be destroyed,” Orochimaru’s mocking voice sounded.
- Let's! – then, distorting his face, Hiruzen shouted loudly.
Phew, Phew, Phew!!!
A moment later, a deadly rain of kunai rained down on them.
And in place of Hiruzen, a piece of wood appeared with a dull bang.
And Orochimaru turned into a pile of dirt.
Earth Clone!
But when?!
The incident stunned the Anbu.
They had no idea about the Sannin's escape!
“I told you, you can’t escape!” – Hiruzen spat coldly and, having made hand seals, sharply hit the roof with his palm.
After this, the initially flat roof made a dull roar, and then Orochimaru suddenly jumped out of it.
– Just what you would expect from a sensei. How did you even find me? – Sannin grinned coldly, looking at his pale, bloody hand.
– I taught you these techniques... I will kill you today! – the voice of the Third Hokage felt steely and unyielding notes.
- Tsk, tsk, teacher Sarutobi, before you deal with me, maybe you’d better look back? – Orochimaru grinned confidently in response.
“Ha ha ha! I'm free! – and then a loud roar came from the arena.
Along with this roar, a wave of terrifying chakra engulfed the arena, and the sand figure began to rapidly grow. So literally in a matter of moments the One-Tailed One appeared!
Gaara did not leave the arena due to Yudao's interference in the plan.
- What are you doing? – Baki spat through his teeth, hastily retreating along with Kankuro and Temari.
“Circumstances show that Konoha was ready for our attack.” “And we and you fell straight into their trap...” Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said indifferently under the piercing gazes of Kankuro and Temari, and then paused for a while and continued. “Since the plan failed miserably, all I had to do was release the One-Tail in advance in order to somehow smooth out the situation.” And in general, you should try hard to make a significant contribution to the plan for the destruction of Konoha, because a third force has just joined us...
Third force?
Baki glanced at Kabuto in surprise.
“You don’t think that it was our people who destroyed the sensitive barrier and attacked the gates of Konoha?” This was not in the plan...” Orochimaru’s closest subordinate threw up his hands.
- Then who? – Suna’s Jounin became wary.
“And who recently caused great concern to Konoha?” – a confident smile never left Kabuto’s face.
– Kirigakure! Bucky spat in shock.
