Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 215 3 'Shadows' Surround Sakumo Hatake

"Inform Elder Akimichi Torifu to temporarily take charge of village affairs, with Nara Vermilion assisting him for the time being!"

"Order the Snake Squad Leader to eliminate all the spies from the four major villages that have been discovered!"

"Order the secret service and the police department to implement Level Two alert! Strict entry and exit controls!"

Orochimaru has been in charge of Konoha Village for nearly three years now.

To put it simply, he is Konoha's regent 'Shadow' without a doubt.

Although the Snake Team's influence has not completely penetrated the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

But in most departments, the shadows of the snake-like gangs lurk beneath the surface.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!" The Snake Squad member was startled and quickly replied, disappearing from the office in a flash.

Orochimaru quickly packed up his ninja tools and scrolls, and changed into a Jonin uniform suitable for combat.

He then issued a series of orders.

"Police Department, Anbu, Snake Squad, quickly contact Police Chief Uchiha Yuuki through multiple channels and request support for the Grassland Defense Line!"

"Order the Anbu and the Sarutobi clan to quickly contact the Third Hokage through multiple channels and return to reinforce the Kusanagi defense line."

"Contact Jonin Jiraiya and provide support to Sakumo Hatake!"

"Return the order to Sakumo Hatake, and if necessary, abandon the Grassland Defense Line and retreat to the Fire Country's No. 1 Defense Line."

Another member of the Snake Squad, who had been brought in as a replacement, nodded and solemnly said, "Understood!"

After a moment's hesitation, Orochimaru packed his belongings and said coldly, "Notify Tsunade to order the Senju to bring Kushina Uzumaki back to the clan's territory, and to send her to the battlefield if necessary!"

"Yes!"

"Execute the order!"

Orochimaru jumped out of the Hokage Building.

Without the slightest hesitation, his first reaction upon receiving the request for help was to provide immediate assistance.

Without holding a Jonin meeting, they decisively selected several Jonin to support the Grassland defense line.

This kind of thing can't be delayed.

Once the Grass Defense Line is breached, Konoha will be in chaos!

The war was forced to enter their homeland, and the Land of Fire had no natural defenses.

Famous figures, nobles, merchants, and commoners alike will suffer immeasurable harm.

The Third Hokage's party, which had ventured deep into the Land of Rivers and conquered the Land of Wind, was caught in a pincer attack and might be completely wiped out!

With a crisis looming, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a bit agitated.

Old man, oh old man.

You fought this war too timidly!

Many villagers noticed Orochimaru's hasty departure from the village.

He did it on purpose.

This puts pressure on both the enemy's Murakami and Hatake Sakumo.

"Lord Orochimaru is in such a hurry, has something happened at the front again?"

"What exactly does the Third Hokage mean? He tried to fight a mere small village like Sunagakure, and it turned out like this!"

"..."

The casual conversations by the roadside were filled with dissatisfaction and complaints about the Third Hokage, as well as concern about Orochimaru's whereabouts and confusion about the future war.

The pride of being a Konoha resident was shattered in the face of this protracted war.

A dark cloud floated above the villagers' heads.

The undisputed leader of the Five Great Ninja Villages, the strongest Konoha Village of Fire!

For six whole years, they failed to defeat any major village.

Is the enemy stronger, or... is our own side not that strong?

After receiving the order, Akimichi Torifu quickly took over the management of Konoha and watched Orochimaru leave.

The members of the Ino-Shika-Cho family standing to the side couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted.

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, like the land of the fire kingdom weeping.

"Zhu Hong, how did the village become like this?"

Nara's crimson eyes flickered, and she could only sigh helplessly, remaining silent.

The third generation encountered trouble and hesitated to make a decision.

Despite being outnumbered, Hatake Sakumo fought without complaint.

When Orochimaru encountered a problem, he blindly charged forward.

The three seemed to be practicing the Will of Fire together, but they did completely different things.

Who is the true Will of Fire?

Ninjas have always been trained as tools, without any real ideals.

Even the wisest Nara people could not escape the emptiness of a aimless life.

...

"Dust Release: Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"

Onoki clasped his hands together in a triangle, manipulated Dust Release, and fired wildly at Hatake Sakumo.

After a short period of deliberation, Hatake Sakumo made up his mind to confront Iwagakure head-on.

Taking advantage of the fact that the jinchūriki of the other two villages had not yet reached the border of 'Taki' and 'Tetsu', they took the lead in destroying Iwagakure.

Unexpectedly, upon discovering this Iwa ninja unit that appeared to be flanking them, Hatake Sakumo was surprised to find that Onoki was actually among them.

Now, a fight is inevitable.

The fact that Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, is not paying attention to the battle situation at the Grassland Defense Line must be suspicious.

The trees are lush and green, and figures flicker.

He easily dodged several dust escape attacks.

The weaknesses of Dust Release are no secret.

Since the Sage of Six Paths, the most troublesome ninjutsu is the zero-frame start.

For ninjas whose lives depend on intelligence, the easiest thing to deal with is an extremely long wind-up animation.

Dust Escape belongs to the latter category.

A silver dotted line outlines a picture of blood and lightning among the Iwa ninja forces.

Onoki's face was grim, his hands trembled, and after aiming for a moment, he gave up on using Dust Release.

Below are all my fellow villagers!

Whether White Fang will die after using Dust Escape is unclear.

The Iwa ninja are doomed.

Onoki swooped down, using Earth Release to alter the terrain and block Sakumo Hatake's one-sided massacre.

Han and Lao Zi, the two Jinchūriki, rushed forward quickly.

Three Kage-level generals surrounded Sakumo Hatake.

“Two Jinchūriki and one Tsuchikage.” Sakumo Hatake exhaled lightly, clenched his white teeth, and looked around sharply, searching for a breakthrough: “Iwagakure really thinks highly of me.”

"go to hell!"

The two jinchūriki charged from the left and right respectively, with Sakumo Hatake wielding the White Fang as he charged forward.

He didn't stray far from Iwagakure, always moving towards areas with more people.

Sakumo Hatake, along with two Kage-level melee fighters, had to defend against Onoki's surprise attack while also ensuring he didn't stray too far from the group.

Doing three things at once.

For a moment, they managed to hold off the three of them!

"Konoha's White Fang!"

Onoki gritted his teeth, his lips a little sore. Yet another top genius!

Once you reach the Kage level, you can judge the other person's skill level after a few simple exchanges.

Without a doubt, Sakumo Hatake stands at the pinnacle of the Kage level!

She is in no way inferior to Onoki, and even has the advantage of age, making her a strong contender!

Sakumo Hatake unleashed a tangible white blade, his surging chakra suddenly erupting and forcing Roshi back.

Lightning Release!

Instant White Slash!

Turn! An electric arc erupts! Lightning swirls around!

Sakumo Hatake almost became a blur as he swiftly thrust towards Onoki!

A materialized white blade, crackling with lightning, was followed by an extremely fast-moving figure.

The wind howled and the thunder crackled!

"Tudun!"

"Light and Heavy Rock Technique!"

Onoki pressed his hands to the ground, and countless stones floated up, forming shields in front of him.

The white blade swept across a thousand miles.

Shattering shield after shield, Sakumo Hatake's eyes were cold, as if only the blade and the Tsuchikage's neck remained.

Half of the stone was smashed.

good chance!

Onoki's eyes lit up. The small figure floated in the air, quickly changed his hand seals, and formed a triangle with his hands.

Dust Release! Particle Style: Detachment Technique!
