Chapter 179 - Chapter 178: Orochimaru’s Gift for Tsunade

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Outside Konoha, several giant snakes were summoned in clouds of smoke, crashing through the village barrier in an instant.

At the same time, countless hidden figures began to move.

Many Sand shinobi, who had secretly entered Konoha under the pretense of participating in military exercises, seized the opportunity created by the giant snakes. They advanced quickly into the village.

Near Konoha Ranch, the Kusagakure leader, Midori, received the signal. 

He waved his hand and led his men straight toward the village center.

Inside the Konoha Sports Arena, Sound shinobi hidden among the audience revealed themselves and attacked the surrounding Anbu.

Fortunately, the stands weren't only guarded by Anbu — many Jonin, elite Jonin, and even special Jonin were present. 

The Sound shinobi were quickly suppressed.

However, the suddenness of the assault and the sheer number of civilians made Konoha hesitant. The situation became dangerously passive.

On the rooftop, the "Kazekage" held the Third Hokage hostage and immediately raised a barrier.

The Hokage's Anbu bodyguards reacted a second too late. By the time they moved, the barrier was already in place.

One Anbu rushed in recklessly and slammed against the barrier — only to be burned to ashes in an instant.

"Damn it! A barrier!"

The others cursed, forced to stop.

"I never expected Sunagakure to betray Konoha," Hiruzen muttered. His expression was grim, but calm.

"The treaty was only a tool to lull you into complacency!" Kazekage sneered. "These boring games are over. The wheel of history is about to move!"

"Do you really want war?" Hiruzen asked. "Lord Kazekage, it's not too late for peace. Violence can still be avoided…"

"Hehehe…" Orochimaru's true voice slipped out in a mocking laugh. "Have you grown senile, Sarutobi-sensei?"

"You—!" Hiruzen's eyes widened. "Orochimaru!"

Down on the field, Baki glanced at Gaara, who was clutching his head and groaning in pain.

Idiot, he cursed silently. You transformed without waiting for the signal, and now you're suffering the backlash!

"Kankuro, Temari, take him away!"

"Tch!" Kankuro clicked his tongue, irritated at Gaara's recklessness. But he still hoisted one of Gaara's arms.

Temari told Baki to be careful, then glanced at Itsuki opposite them before taking Gaara's other arm.

Together, the siblings carried Gaara over the wall, retreating quickly.

Shiranui Genma stepped in front of Itsuki, facing Baki. "This whole operation… Orochimaru's behind it, isn't he?"

"I don't know!" Baki said with a cold grin. "But either way, let's liven things up, shall we?"

Seeing no way to resolve things peacefully, Genma glanced at Itsuki.

"I'm sorry. The Chunin Exams end here. From now on, it's up to you to chase Gaara and the others."

Chase Gaara?

Itsuki had no such intention.

He glanced toward the lounge below the stands — the contestant area. It had been spared from the chaos above.

Inside, the competitors remained safe for the moment. Naruto wanted to rush out, but Sakura knocked him on the head, keeping him still.

A ninja must stay calm, Itsuki thought. First assess, then act.

[In the harem chat group]

[Karin: Sunagakure joined forces with the Sound shinobi!]

[Ino Yamanaka: And the Third Hokage was kidnapped by the Kazekage!]

[Tenten: What should we do now?!]

The "Four Flowers of Konoha" and Karin were in the lounge.

Tsunade quickly instructed them:

[Tsunade: Stay where you are. Protect yourselves. Do not act on your own.]

In the stands, Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, and other Jonin fought against the Sound shinobi.

Anko Mitarashi and Yugao Uzuki had been assigned to outside patrols. Now, they prioritized stabilizing the village and evacuating civilians.

Honoka, the newest chat member, assisted at the academy, protecting students.

As for Tsunade herself, she had been watching the matches from afar. 

The moment things turned strange, she rushed straight toward Itsuki.

Back on the field, Itsuki was about to respond to Genma when a figure appeared beside Baki.

The man half-knelt, chuckling. "That won't do. Itsuki-kun has another task to handle…"

He wore the cloak and mask of a Konoha Anbu.

Then he lifted the mask — revealing Kabuto Yakushi.

So he finally comes to me, Itsuki thought. As expected, Orochimaru wouldn't leave me alone. Not with the influence I hold here.

"With me here, you don't get to decide anything," Genma snapped, kunai in hand.

Though only a special Jonin, he had once served as the Fourth Hokage's personal guard in the Flying Thunder Squad. He wasn't weak.

"What do you mean? Should we kill him first?" Baki asked.

Kabuto formed hand seals and smirked. "He's a small fry. Not worth worrying about. The real issue is—"

Boom!

A shadow fell. A powerful kick crashed down with terrifying momentum.

It was Tsunade.

No one would dare act recklessly in front of her nephew.

Bang!!

But before her strike could land, several coffins erupted from the ground, blocking her path.

Tsunade's heel shattered one coffin with a single blow. 

But as she caught sight of the face inside, her eyes widened, and she forcefully pulled back her attack.

Even so, the upper body of the figure in the coffin was smashed apart by the shockwave.

Baki paled and retreated instantly, his heart racing. This woman… terrifying!

Kabuto, still crouched, smiled faintly. But sweat trickled down his forehead.

So this is Princess Tsunade… one of the Legendary Sannin, the greatest medical expert in the shinobi world.

He had guessed she would hesitate at the last moment — but that kick nearly crushed his soul.

Fortunately, Orochimaru had predicted her psychology. Otherwise, today would have been his death.

"You bastard! What the hell did you do?!"

Tsunade steadied herself, her eyes red with fury, murderous intent radiating from her.

Kabuto rose, still smiling. "Familiar, isn't it? This is a gift from Lord Orochimaru himself. He said you'd be very happy to see them."

With a heavy thud, the lid of another coffin swung open.

Tsunade's pupils shrank violently.

This time, her rage only grew stronger, her killing intent pouring out like a storm.

Even Itsuki couldn't help but tense. Orochimaru… you're really pushing Kabuto to the edge of death.

Kabuto drew two kunai with talismans attached and stabbed them into the corpses inside the coffins.

Immediately, debris floated through the air, repairing the shattered body from earlier.

And then —

The corpses slowly opened their eyes.
