[Buzz—]
[The moment Yakushi Kabuto completes his technique.]
[The entire arena.]
A change has occurred.
[Under the animal mask.]
[A sickly pallor flashed across Kabuto's face.]
[Obviously.]
This technique consumes a large amount of chakra.
[And so, Kabuto Yakushi's technique was completed.]
[Above the arena.]
[Suddenly, a large number of white feathers appeared.]
The feathers slowly drifted down from the sky.
However, countless spectators in the audience below remained oblivious to anything amiss.
[Bang bang bang—]
[Next.]
Starting from the outermost edge.
[The instant I touched those white feathers falling from the sky.]
[Inside the audience, the viewers began to be drawn into an illusion.]
They collapsed one after another, trapped in an illusion.
This illusion has a very large range.
However, the target was not a ninja.
Rather, it refers to many ordinary people.
Fourth Raikage: "Heh!"
The Fourth Raikage: "Orochimaru, is there anything else you want to say?"
Orochimaru: "Hehehe, do I need to say anything?"
The Fourth Raikage: "And you still say you don't deeply love Konoha?"
Orochimaru: "..."
Orochimaru: "When have I ever denied it?"
Orochimaru's answer.
This undoubtedly made Konoha's situation even more awkward.
Orochimaru, however, did not care.
Orochimaru: "Just doing it as a side effect."
Orochimaru: "If Naruto-kun with black frames needs it, I can ignore them."
Everyone: "..."
I had a premonition.
If Orochimaru were to submit to Naruto (with black frame)...
estimate...
The little white ones and the white Zetsu will regard her as an enemy.
There is even another possibility.
Orochimaru became the leader of the White Zetsu and the Shiro.
Because of Orochimaru's obsession with Naruto in black frames.
No less than any newbie or expert.
certainly.
The White Zetsu here refers to those who betrayed us... right?
...
The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.
Something feels off.
[And below.]
After completing his mission, Kabuto stood still, waiting for his chakra to recover.
[He glanced at the audience members who were gradually falling asleep.]
A strange light flashed in Kabuto's eyes.
It's quite obvious.
Orochimaru did not intend to involve these civilians.
"This is really complicated... Lord Orochimaru."
Kabuto shook his head and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, above, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally realized something was wrong.
Looking down, one after another, the daimyo and ninja leaders on the opposite side fell.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed instantly.
"Lord Fengying, please..."
[Before Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking.]
The gaze directed at Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, changed.
Orochimaru's eyes, hidden beneath the Kazekage's hat, were revealed.
Those snake eyes.
[This left Hiruzen Sarutobi frozen in place.]
An expression of disbelief crossed his old face.
Why is this happening?
Where is the Fourth Kazekage?
Could it be... that Orochimaru and Sunagakure have joined forces?!
Countless questions flashed through my mind.
And beside it.
Orochimaru has stopped pretending.
A mocking glint appeared in her eyes.
[I'm not even pretending anymore.]
[Of course, they simply ripped off the straw hat.]
[Her facial features are soft and gentle.]
[Aside from the eyes, which felt familiar to Hiruzen Sarutobi.]
The others were completely different from the disciples it remembered.
"Orochimaru?!"
[Hiruzen Sarutobi is somewhat uncertain.]
[Hehehe~]
Orochimaru sneered.
The sound coming from her throat wasn't her own voice.
"Let's begin."
"Sarutobi-sensei."
"I hope you like this gift~"
Orochimaru's lips curled slightly.
[Whoosh—]
[The next moment.]
[When Orochimaru and Domei began their plan.]
The four Kazekage guards hidden behind Orochimaru all removed their disguises.
[The four people's distinctive attire is revealed.]
[Similar to Orochimaru.]
["Yes, sir!" x4]
The four responded.
He immediately reached into his ninja tool pouch.
[Bang—!!!]
[Four smoke grenades explode.]
In the blink of an eye.
A thick cloud of smoke rose from the seats representing the Kazekage and Hokage, enveloping them all.
[Whoosh—]
[The next second.]
A figure burst out of the smoke.
[And the commotion above.]
[This immediately attracted the attention of the ninjas who were not under the influence of genjutsu.]
[Anbu ninjas, all of you, raise your heads.]
[Watching the smoke rise from the movie theater seats.]
In this situation, they should all rush forward to protect the Third Hokage.
However.
All the ANBU ninjas inside the arena seemed oblivious to what was happening.
I only glanced at it.
[They saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's aged figure fly backward.]
[As if seeing nothing at all, he lowered his head and continued watching the battle below.]
[at the same time. ]
[On the other side of the stands in the arena.]
At the location belonging to Sunagakure, countless Sunagakure ninja rose to their feet.
But just as they were hesitating...
[Maki slowly rose, raised his hand, and stopped the rioting crowd.]
At this moment.
Kankuro and Temari also arrived in front of the Sunagakure group.
"Proceed according to the original plan."
"You can choose not to comply."
"Return immediately and do not make any unusual moves in Konoha!"
[Splash—]
Temari slammed the large iron fan she was carrying on her back onto the ground.
His eyes were full of warning.
A small group of Sunagakure ninja looked rather grim.
But no one dared to move.
Kankuro scanned the area, his gaze finally settling on the faces of that small group of Sunagakure residents.
She suddenly hesitated.
[As planned.]
If you want to leave, then leave. Don't worry about it.
But at that moment, a thought arose in Kankuro's mind.
[Slay him!]
Just then.
Temari patted Kankuro on the shoulder.
[Kankuro looks over. ]
Temari shook her head.
Clearly, Temari saw through his thoughts and refused.
Kankuro opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But Temari's eyes held an undeniable expression.
He had no choice but to shut his mouth.
Seeing this, Machi nodded secretly.
Then he looked at the group of Sand Villagers.
"You are free to leave or stay; we will not stop you in any way."
"Of course, that's on the condition that you also keep your promise."
"This Konoha Crush plan has nothing to do with Sunagakure."
"Do not attack allies."
"Furthermore, those who remain must also obey orders from now on."
"Even if it means helping Konoha and taking action against Orochimaru."
[Maki's voice was low and deep.]
[But his words were clearly more effective than those of Kankuro and Temari at the moment.]
[Unless Gaara stands here.]
Otherwise, for now.
[Maki is only the second-in-command.]
However, Temari didn't seem to mind.
Kankuro, of course, didn't care about any of that.
The three siblings still trusted Maki.
[The group from Sunagakure, who had been itching to make a move, saw that no one else was moving.]
Ultimately, he chose to remain silent and continue sitting quietly.
[Maki looked up at the high platform where the explosion had just occurred.]
At this moment, Orochimaru had undoubtedly begun to make his move.
Her goal has always been clear: to become the Third Hokage of Konoha.
[And then Orochimaru made his move.]
The Sound Ninja seemed to have received a signal.
[Start executing the plan.]
[The Konoha Crush Plan - Begins!]
