Sarutobi Hiruzen formed seals with both hands, intending to use Fire Release Ninjutsu to put an end to the Uchiha and completely put an end to the chaos tonight.

Uchiha Yashiro and Uchiha Tetsuka and the others looked unwilling.

They hate it!
Hate the village! Hate the Third Generation! Hate Danzo! Hate Itachi! But...

They hate themselves even more, and hate that they are not strong enough!

hatred---
We can't drag Konoha into hell with us!!!

The other ninjas who were watching also had expressions of pity on their faces, as they recalled the scenes of fighting alongside the Uchiha, and their hearts were filled with grief for the loss of the rabbit.

They wanted to stop the Third Hokage and Danzo, but they knew that they could do nothing about what happened tonight.

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to complete the last hand seal.

It will all be over!
When the Uchiha was about to become a thing of the past, everyone's faces froze.

Shimura Danzo, who was standing beside Sarutobi Hiruzen, suddenly looked horrified: "Murderous intent! Who has such a terrifying murderous intent?"

At the same time, everyone's eyes were looking in one direction.

I see,

On the terrace of the wooden courtyard, under the eaves, stood a man.

An old man with white hair, hunched body, and leaning on a cane. No one knew when he appeared there.

Or rather, he has always been there.

This made everyone feel horrified and shocked.

At this point in the battle, almost all those who were still standing were jonin-level ninjas. With their perception, it was impossible for them not to sense where someone appeared.

Can……

The weird thing is that they all ignored that direction, as if they didn't notice it at all.

if……

The person who suddenly appeared just now chose to assassinate them...

Thinking of this, the clan leaders of each tribe felt a chill running up from their tail vertebrae to the top of their heads, making their scalps tingle with fear.

Not only the clan leaders were frightened, even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who possessed super shadow-level combat power, was frightened. He looked at the figure whose upper body was hidden in the shadows with fear, took a deep breath, and said slowly:

"It's you!"

"it's me!"

"You're not dead!"

"I'm not dead!"

The people who were watching were confused by the question and answer, but Danzo, who was a good friend of Sarutobi Hiruzen, heard something from this short conversation and thought to himself, "Huruzen hesitated!"

Everyone was silent, their eyes fixed on Sarutobi Hiruzen and the old man. They didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements for fear of attracting their attention to themselves.

The silence of the crowd made the surroundings extremely quiet!

It's so quiet that it makes people feel creepy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen clenched his clenched fists and wanted to launch a general attack immediately, but then he remembered that before the battle, he vaguely remembered that Uchiha Itachi rushed out of the courtyard in a panic, with an appearance of having experienced great terror. The murderous intent that had just risen in his mind was suppressed again.

It was unknown how long it had been before Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and said, "You are still alive."

The old man with the crutch said, "He is alive and well."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "You are old!"

The old man with the crutch said: "You are old too!"

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's back, a smile appeared in his eyes: "Hiruzen, you are indeed old, and the Hokage is destined to be mine."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Itachi didn't kill you?"

The old man with the crutch said, "I am not Fugaku."

A look of doubt flashed across Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, but he quickly realized that this meant that Fugaku had gone easy on his son.

After understanding this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was even more surprised. Itachi should not have failed in assassinating an old man whose physical functions had deteriorated and whose strength was no longer at its peak.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wondered suspiciously, "Could it be..."

"Have you opened the kaleidoscope?"

A sense of frenzy rose in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart, an uneasy feeling that things were out of his rhythm.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "You can't change anything."

The old man with the crutch said: "I think I can!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "You are not my opponent when you are young, let alone you when you are old."

The old man with the crutch said, "It's hard to say!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent. He wanted to take action, but he had no idea of ​​the strength and depth of the person in front of him, which made him hesitant.

In battles below the Six Paths level, even a Super Shadow-level warrior still needs to be vigilant when dealing with ordinary people, because the body is still at the mortal level and the tolerance rate is extremely low.

Moreover, battles are often fought based on intelligence. If the intelligence is not equal, it would be foolish to act rashly.

The third generation recalled the information of the person in front of him in his mind, and the whole audience fell silent for a moment!
Deadly quiet.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had an impression of the face of this old man with a crutch. His name was Uchiha Setsuna!

He possessed the strength of a shadow during the Warring States Period!

Unfortunately, there were too many monsters in the Warring States Period, and the Kage-level monsters were just cannon fodder.

Uchiha Setsuna attempted a coup during Tobirama's time, but unfortunately it failed and he was thrown into prison.

When the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that Setsuna had not appeared, he thought that he had been killed by Itachi, but he didn't expect that he was still alive.

It was this move he just showed that made Sarutobi Hiruzen dare not act rashly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.

Wang Ming, who was leaning on a crutch, was also silent.

think!
Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks about how to safely test Wang Ming's strength.

Wang Ming was thinking about how to defeat the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen without revealing any traces.

At this time,
Wang Ming frowned. Within his perception range, hundreds of thousands of ant-sized insects appeared and were quietly crawling towards the area where Wang Ming was.

With just a quick glance, Wang Ming realized that this was a parasitic insect from the Aburame clan, a bug that specialized in eating chakra.

Wang Ming raised his eyes to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose expression did not change at all, and immediately shifted his gaze to Shimura Danzo, who had drooping eyelids and looked like he had not woken up yet.

Apparently it was Danzo who sent the Aburame clan to launch a surprise attack and test him.

The third generation cannot act rashly against Wang Ming, who is unpredictable.

Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot lose!
As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot afford to lose.

From the day he vigorously supported the civilians and suppressed the ninja clan, he had an irreconcilable conflict with the ninja clan.

originally,

Before the Third Ninja World War, although the various ninja clans were dissatisfied with the Third Hokage's behavior, they did not think that he was too wrong.

But after he came to power for the second time, his slogan was still to promote ordinary ninjas and prevent the emergence of transcendent individuals like the Ninja Clan in the village, but the so-called ordinary ninjas were almost all named Sarutobi or Utane...

If Sarutobi Hiruzen could still maintain his mystery and maintain his undefeated record, the ninja clan would not take action even if they were dissatisfied.

But if so,
If Sarutobi Hiruzen is accidentally defeated tonight, the outcome would be unpredictable.

When Orochimaru launched the Konoha collapse plan, the patriarchs of the major ninja clans quietly left the central area of ​​Konoha, some saved the children, some just stayed to watch, and no one went to support the third-generation ninja, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Might Guy, the only one who planned to support Sarutobi Hiruzen, was pulled away by Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple, Hatake Kakashi.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot afford to lose, and cannot lose.

Therefore, Danzo had to be the only one to probe for intelligence.

Wang Ming figured it out, smiled faintly, and then three magatama Sharingan immediately appeared in his eyes. The three magatama quickly spun into a strange pattern, and Uchiha Setsuna's Mangekyo opened.

next moment,
An invisible force poured out with Wang Ming as the center.

Hundreds of thousands of black parasitic insects that surrounded Wang Ming exploded and died instantly, without a single one left.

This invisible force blesses everyone present.

Instantly, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Obito and the others all changed color. (End of this chapter)
