Konoha Village.
Bang bang!
A large number of foreign Ninja broke through Konoha's outer defenses and attacked Konoha.
Three giant snakes also appeared.
Bang bang bang!
"Damn it, Shuriken are useless against guys this size."
The Konoha Ninja's expression was serious; dealing with such large Summoning Beasts was truly troublesome.
Just then, several chains appeared from the sky.
They chained up one of the giant snakes, rendering it immobile.
"This is… the Barrier Team's Phantom Sealing Chains; they can only seal one life. We'll stop the others."
The chains sealed one of the giant snakes, and the Konoha Ninja's spirits lifted as they launched an attack on the remaining two large snakes.
Whoosh whoosh!
Another squad arrived and saw the enormous snakes.
"Such huge snakes, this is trouble. Mibu Shinobi, let's go."
Ibiki Morino said to Mibu Shinobi.
Mibu Shinobi nodded at his words, forming hand signs: "Pupil Setting Hand, Pangolin."
Rumble!
A giant Pangolin rose from the ground, directly grabbed one of the snakes, and began wrestling with it.
"Captain, I can only control one. You have to watch my back!"
Mibu Shinobi said after releasing his Ninjutsu.
There was nothing he could do; he had only learned a half-baked version, without the reverse application of the Mind Reading Technique, so he could only control it himself.
How embarrassing.
Currently, he could only hold back the snake and couldn't cause any substantial damage.
However, this was also his goal: to make the snake cause less destruction.
"Understood. Bee, take care of him. I'll go deal with the other one."
Ibiki said to another subordinate.
"Yes."
...Land of Snow Lord's Mansion.
Satoru moved as if in an uninhabited realm; the Snow Ninja guards seemed to act as if he didn't exist.
"This mansion is really big."
Before a guard could react, Satoru placed his hand on his head.
The long-lost space-time tunnel reappeared.
A large number of memory fragments surged out.
Satoru quickly found the information he wanted.
Why their Chakra defense armor didn't block his Genjutsu was because, at its core, the current armor was just an amplifier, requiring the Ninja to actively activate and extract Chakra.
This was the experience he gained through his investigation.
Like an invisible ghost, he walked through the Lord's Mansion.
Meanwhile, his teammates had already stayed with the rebel forces.
This time, he was a bit willful; this didn't concern Naruto and Sasuke's growth, and he had used a technique on the employer.
Kazahana Koyuki was now a woman determined to save the Land of Snow.
Mitori and his two companions were responsible for her safety.
The Imperial Guard was also waiting for his intelligence before launching an attack on the Land of Snow side...
Bang bang bang!
Fighting broke out all over Konoha.
Iruka led his students to the shelter, with nearby Ninja responsible for guarding them.
"Damn it, we're supposed to be Ninja, but Iruka Sensei won't let us go out and face the enemy."
Tenyu sighed.
They were clearly very strong already.
"We're too young, and the Village should be able to handle it," Taneki said to him.
Maki: "Are Mom and the others okay?"
Compared to going out to fight, she was more worried about the safety of her mother and the others.
"Of course, they're fine. Grandpa is also very strong," Tenyu said.
"Mm-hmm."
…
"Don't look at me having only one hand; I can still easily beat you all."
Hiroshi, facing the enemy, pulled with his right hand, and the ground suddenly opened up, countless Shuriken were launched, killing the Hidden Sand Village Ninja who wanted to attack the residents.
Around him, a team of residents, under his protection, headed towards the shelter.
Whoosh whoosh!
Facing the enemy, he was calm and composed.
His use of Shuriken and Kunai was superb, and he played with Taijutsu, demonstrating excellent combat experience.
He only occasionally used Ninjutsu when facing strong enemies.
Because he didn't have much Chakra.
Bang bang!
Clang!
"Son, this agent certificate is really useful. As expected of my son, he inherited my genes."
Hiroshi felt a continuous stream of combat inspiration from his mental space.
Using his basic strength, he killed one enemy after another.
He never expected that, after so many years of retirement, he would still have a day to go to the battlefield and kill enemies...
In the forest of Konoha, Shikamaru formed hand signs and cast a spell.
Eight Otogakure Ninja were simultaneously controlled by his trap, their shadows linked together, unable to move.
"So we fell for a trap, but it's useless. You can't control this for long."
The Otogakure Ninja showed no fear.
Shikamaru, being alone without teammates, was just a weakling.
Shikamaru's mouth curved: "Are you waiting for your hidden teammates?"
The Otogakure Ninja were stunned at his words. Had he figured it out?
But it was useless.
Bang!
Suddenly, someone fell from the sky, hitting the ground with a heavy thud, and a figure appeared on a tree trunk, looking at them.
"I'm here too."
Whoosh whoosh!
Ino wasted no words, her Shuriken piercing the heads of the Otogakure Ninja amidst their horrified gazes.
Seeing this, Shikamaru also withdrew his Shadow Imitation Technique.
"Ino, your stealth techniques are getting better and better. It seems your special training with Captain Flying Bamboo Dragonfly has led to great progress!"
He praised Ino greatly now.
"Of course, I've been working very hard," Ino said proudly.
A month of hard work was not in vain.
"Should we pursue them next?" she asked Shikamaru.
"No, we need to block any potential pursuit here.
The rest we'll leave to Naruto and the others; we trust their strength."
Shikamaru said.
He thought for a moment: as long as they stopped the enemy's backup, Sasuke and the others should be fine.
Shikamaru was also willing to believe in Naruto and their strength.
"Okay, let's set up traps. There might be even stronger enemies."
Ino nodded.
She trusted Shikamaru's analysis...
Bang bang bang!
"Shadow Clone Shuriken Technique."
"Edo Tensei."
Beep beep beep!
The battle between the two master and disciple was incredibly fast.
From dialogue, to battle, to the First and Second Hokage appearing, it took less than a minute.
"you lured Satoru away, didn't you?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, facing the attacks of two deceased individuals, was not afraid in the slightest.
But what worried him more was that there were still traitors in Konoha.
Or perhaps there were traitors among the Land of Fire's higher-ups.
He thought of many things; at this critical juncture, moving Konoha's important combat power away was undoubtedly falling into a trap.
"Yes, that guy is indeed troublesome, but now, Sarutobi Sensei, let's have a good fight.
Let me show you the results of my efforts over these years."
Orochimaru did not refute his words.
That Danzo guy indeed had some tricks up his sleeve...
Land of Fire.
In Akatsuki's hidden base, Itachi looked at the intelligence in his hand.
Kisame did the same: "That Orochimaru guy is really capable!
No wonder the leader has been chasing him. He might just throw a wrench into the leader's plans."
Just now, they received intelligence from a spy that Konoha Village was under a joint attack from the Village Hidden in the Sound and the Hidden Sand Village.
"Konoha won't just be gone, will it?" Kisame mocked.
Facing the attack of two Ninja Villages, and on Konoha's home ground, with Orochimaru being a former Konoha elder, he wondered how they would respond.
"No, although Satoru has been transferred away, Konoha's foundation is not that simple.
Kisame, get ready. We're going to Konoha."
"Oh? Are we going to capture the Nine-Tailed? Good thing Satoru isn't there.
Otherwise, I'd be afraid of him."
Satoru being transferred out for a mission was also part of their intelligence.
This guy was the most troublesome person in Konoha that Kisame felt, even more troublesome than the Third Hokage.
"Hmm."
