Talent Entry Ninja of Konoha

A group of Jōnins of the Sarutobi clan surrounded the Wood Clone.

The Wood Clone, who was carrying the Scroll of Seals glanced at these people, and was surprised to find that these people all seemed to be the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan.

"Hehe! Sarutobi Hiruzen really arranged it well. Others are working hard on the front line. And the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan are staying in the Hokage building with peace of mind and don't have to go anywhere." The Wood Clone sneered.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen can't predict the future, he knew that Orochimaru had come to Konoha as he had already appeared during the second Chūnin exam.

Therefore, he arranged the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan to take care of the Hokage building, while the job of guarding the venue for the third exam was handed over to other Konoha ninjas.

Obviously, this arrangement was intentional and done in order to reduce the casualties of his own family.

If Orochimaru really wants to do something, he will definitely attack the venue of the third exam.

As for the Hokage building?

Why would Orochimaru go there?

He didn't need the Scroll of Seals.

After all, he has seen this thing several times.

Otherwise, where would he have learned his Edo Tensei Jutsu?

When Orochimaru and Danzo were still in a partnership, Danzo personally brought the Scroll of Seals to him, so that Orochimaru could help him research Hashirama cells and Sharingan.

There are many Forbidden Techniques in the Scroll of Seals.

Although Orochimaru couldn't learn many, he still remembered quite a lot.

Therefore, the Scroll of Seals was useless to him.

Naturally, the Hokage building didn't hold much appeal for him.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen never expected that Ryosuke, wpuld target the Hokahe Building instead of Orochimaru.

He thought it was a foolproof arrangement.

In the end, he even took the initiative to send the elite of the Sarutobi clan to Ryosuke.

To be precise, his Wood Clone.

After all, Ryosuke's main body was still on the way to the Hyuga clan right now.

"Hand over the Scroll of Seals!"

Asuma led the group of Sarutobi ninjas to surround the Wood Clone.

There were more than 20 Jōnins from the Sarutobi clan here and many of them were even Elite Jōnins.

With such a lineup, even if the opponent was a Kage-level powerhouse, they would still be defeated.

Therefore, Asuma was confident and had no worries about failing.

However!

Facing the twenty-odd ninjas of the Sarutobi clan who surrounded him, Wood Clone put his palms together calmly, slapped the ground, and shouted.

"Ice release: Hundred Beast Attack!"

What?!

Asuma's eyes widened in amazement as countless frost spread.

Then ten ferocious frost beasts roaring at the Sarutobi clan ninjas.

"Ah--!"

"It's Ice release! Could this guy be from the Yuki clan from Kirigakure?"

"Damn Kirigakure ninja, what are they doing?"

"Everyone use Fire release!"

The ninjas of the Sarutobi clan are best at Fire release.

At this time, the twenty or so ninjas of the Sarutobi clan surrounding the Wood Clone calmed down.

They began to make hand seals and use several Fire release ninjutsu to blast at the giant ice beasts attacking.

However!

Just when they confidently thought that the Fire release could melt these frost beasts, they were horrified to find that after breaking through the Fire release's blockage, the size of these frost beasts did not change much.

They had shrunk so little that it was invisible to the naked eye.

Hundreds of frost beasts trampled past.

These ninjas of the Sarutobi clan were quite powerful.

But in the face of this group of almost indestructible frost beasts, they could only escape in embarrassment.

If they didn't escape, they would be killed by a giant frost beast on the spot, or they would be frozen into ice sculptures.

The Wood Clone looked at this scene with cold eyes.

He glanced around, and then waved his hand.

Thousands of ice spikes shot towards the fleeing ninjas.

In just a moment, the twenty-odd ninjas of the Sarutobi clan who had surrounded the Wood clone aggressively just now fell in a disadvantageous situation.

In such a short time, there were already many casualties.

"Fire release: Ash Burn!"

Asuma rushed to the back of Wood Clone under the cover of two Elite Jōnins from the Sarutobi clan.

At the same time, the two Elite Jōnins who were responsible for covering him also used Fire Dragon Flame Bullets.

However the next second

An ice wall rose from the ground, blocking the attacks of the three.

After the ice wall broke, the Wood Clone was nowhere to be seen.

Before Asuma and the others could know where the Wood Clone was, the Wood clone had already appeared above their heads.

Ice release: Ice Spear!

A spear made of ice appeared in the Wood Clone's hand, and the spear shot away, piercing through the body of an Elite Jōnin of the Sarutobi clan in an instant.

The blood froze the moment it was sprayed, forming ruby-like ice crystals that fell to the ground.

Swish!

The Wood Clone dodged and rushed in front of another Elite Jōnin of the Sarutobi clan, and knocked him back with Konoha Hurricane.

At the same time, with a wave of his right hand, an ice spike instantly extended, piercing through his chest like lightning.

"Fire release: Fire—"

Asuma formed hand seal with both hands, and was about to use Fire release to kill the Wood Clone at close range.

Then in the next second a hand covered his head and frost spread.

In an instant, Asuma was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Swish!

Wearing a black windbreaker and a white mask, Ryosuke appeared in front of the Wood Clone, and took the Scroll of Seals from the Wood Clone.

The scroll was opened, and Ryosuke put it away after confirming that it was the real Scroll of Seals.

"Your mission is over."

He said to the Wood Clone.

The Wood Clone nodded, and took the initiative to disperse, leaving a big tree in place that rose from the ground.

Ryosuke glanced at the messy scene around him, and then disappeared in an instant.

On the roof.

Four Violet Flames Formation enveloped the entire roof.

At this time!

Inside the barrier, Orochimaru was saying his final farewell to his teacher.

After today, Konoha, the motionless windmill, will turn again.

The era that belongs to the Third Hokage will also end.

At this time, Ryosuke appeared outside the barrier.

He glanced at the Anbu ninjas who seemed to be watching a show, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Why did these Anbu seem to be in no hurry?

This thought flashed in Ryosuke's mind, and then he didn't bother with those Anbu ninjas.

He grabbed the barrier in front of him with both hands.

The effect of the Four Violet Flame Formation is to instantly burn those who come into contact with it.

The terrifying violet flame can burn everything, second only to the flame of Amaterasu.

But Amaterasu never burned anyone to death.

But the flames of the four violet flames formation has really burned people to death.

But at this time, Ryosuke's hands were covered with a layer of Chakra, and the flames continue to burn the Chakra attached to his hands.

His Chakra was consumed crazily, but it couldn't match Ryosuke's Chakra regeneration.

"Open for me!"

Ryosuke tore the barrier with his hands violently, directly tearing a hole on the surface of the Four Violet Flame Formation.

Then he walked in.

The opening behind him quickly closed.

The four Otogakure ninjas who presided over the Four Purple Flame Formation quickly noticed him at this time.

"Lord Orochimaru, someone has broken in!"

The four immediately informed Orochimaru of the news.

Orochimaru, who was fighting with his teacher, frowned when he heard this.

He immediately forced back Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him with a move and looked over.

"Anbu ninja?"

The first time Orochimaru saw the other party, he thought it was an Anbu, but after a closer look, it was obvious that the other party was not Konoha Anbu's ninja.

It was a masked man whose identity was unknown.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also found the other party. He didn't act rashly because he didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend.

"Is there something you need here that you came in?"

Orochimaru didn't want to needless make an enemy.

His purpose was to kill his teacher.

As for the masked man in front of him, who knows what his plans are?

"I'm here to get something..."

Ryosuke spoke in an eerie voice that was completely different from his own.

"Sir, as long as you join hands with me to seize this rebel, I can give you whatever you want."

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately seized the opportunity and shouted.

"Really? Lord Hokage is really generous!"

Ryosuke looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with gloomy eyes, and the latter felt creeped out.

This guy...

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

At this time, Ryosuke said quietly, "So, what if I want your head, Lord Hokage?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "!!!"

Orochimaru: "??"

Orochimaru looked Ryosuke with some thoughts.

Could this guy be some kind of enemy that his teacher had provoked?

Or some ninja from the village?

Subconsciously, Orochimaru thought of Ryosuke, whom he had met once in the forest of death.

But the masked man in front of him gave him a completely different feeling from Ryosuke, and he didn't look like the same person.

"I have a grudge against Your Excellency?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a dark face.

Ryosuke shook his head.

"No grudge."

"Then why does your Excellency want my head?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen questioned angrily.

Since there was no enmity, why did this guy want his head?

"Well, I was actually joking." Ryosuke grinned sinisterly.

No matter how others looked at it, it didn't look like a joke.

Both Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at this unexpected intruder with apprehension.

This guy's ability to break into the Four Violet Flames formation was enough to demonstrate his strength.

So Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen were careful.

"Orochimaru, don't you want to give your teacher a ride? Why don't you do it?" Ryosuke said suddenly.

Orochimaru looked at him coldly, without saying a word.

The meaning was very clear.

Orochimaru was om guard against Ryosuke and didn't dare to fight.

Seeing this, Ryosuke shook his head in disappointment.

Originally, he wanted to take a closer look at the master-student fratricide, but he couldn't do anything if they didn't cooperate.

'Forget it. I'll just take the things and go.' Ryosuke thought to himself.

Next second—

Mangekyō!

Nightmare!

The moment the Mangekyō was activated, Ryosuke's gaze met Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At the same time, the genjutsu nightmare that he had developed based on the characteristics of his own pair of Mangekyō also appeared.

In an instant, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, who was also caught in an instant and was dragged into the world of genjutsu.

This genjutsu was much stronger than the genjutsu that Ryosuke had used on Orochimaru in the forest of death before.

In fact, the genjutsu that Ryosuke had used on Orochimaru before was a simplified version of nightmare.

The real nightmare requires the cooperation of Sharingan to exert the greatest effect.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was caught in the genjutsu at this time, was greatly shocked.

This unknown mysterious person had a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan!

This guy is a remnant of Uchiha?!

Sarutobi Hiruzen got it.

This guy was lying when he said that he had no hatred against him.

This guy is here to avenge the Uchiha clan.

The remnants of Uchiha, and one who had even awakened thw Mangekyō.

But why had he never heard of such a person before?

If there was such a clansman who had activated Mangekyō, would Itachi and Root be able to easily exterminate the Uchiha clan?

Or was this Mangekyō awakened after the genocide?

So how did he escape the genocide?

Sarutobi Hiruzen counted the dead bodies in the Uchiha clan land afterwards, and confirmed that all the Uchiha clan members were there.

Except for the brothers Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke, no other Uchiha was missing.

Then who is this person in front of him?

Could this guy be the secret weapon that the Uchiha had been hiding all along?
