Sarutobi Hiruzen completely ignored the consumption of his own chakra, and used earth escape techniques to change the terrain on a large scale, trying to stop the column of magma that was still spewing into the sky from the ground.

After running more than a hundred meters, Danzo showed a bit of struggle on his face, but he finally stopped, quickly formed seals with his hands and released wind escape to stop the continued eruption of red magma.

Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen are obsessed with power to their core, but their feelings for Konoha are also extremely sincere, and they regard it as more important than their own lives.

Protecting Konoha is their belief, and it is also the fulcrum that prevents them from mentally collapsing even after committing countless crimes.

Because they never think they are wrong.

White Fang is dead!

Uchiha clan exterminated!
……

A voice then rang out in their hearts: "This is all for Konoha!"

The two were teammates in their early years. Even though they hadn't fought together for decades, their tacit understanding was still strong. The ninjutsu they each released bound Wang Ming's rain of fire firmly in the Uchiha clan territory, preventing it from entering Konoha.

···
"Uchiha Setsuna is really a madman. He uses such a powerful ninjutsu on the civilians of Konoha. Does he really want to destroy the entire Konoha?" The ninja from the Hyuga branch clan murmured in horror. His family is also in the central area of ​​Konoha!
With a smooth forehead and long black hair draped over his shoulders, Hinata Hiashi opened his pure white eyes to look at the battle situation in the distance: "Don't panic!"

"Open your Byakugan and take a closer look at the direction of Setsuna's attack."

Upon hearing this, all the Hyuga members immediately calmed down, opened their Byakugan, and their vision instantly saw through the forests, hills, and high walls.

"fine!!"

"Uchiha Setsuna's attack was directed at the Sarutobi, Shimura, Utane, and Mitomon families."

The people of the Hyuga family felt relieved. Since they believed that it was better to let their friends die than to let themselves die, they didn't care how many people from the Sarutobi family died.

And essentially, the Hyuga family has a deep feud with the Hokage clan.

The branch family's patriarch, Hyuga Hizashi, had to die in place of the main family's patriarch, Hiashi, under the pressure of the Hokage's men.

The hatred that the people of the branch family have for the Hokage is even no less than that Hiashi has for Sarutobi.

The Hyuga family has the Byakugan, which allows them to see where the attack will land, but people from other families don't have such far-sighted vision. When they saw this overwhelming and terrifying attack, they were so scared that their faces turned pale.

In the direction of the Pig, Deer and Butterfly tribes, more than a dozen huge figures rose from the ground and lifted up the huge rocks around them, trying to help the third generation to cut off the magma spraying from the ground.

But at this time,

Wang Ming, who was sitting on a large rock, slowly stood up: "Monkey! Danzo!"

"You chose to stay, which really makes me think highly of you."

"Since you have performed so well, I will grant you a dignified death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thick fog rose from outside Wang Ming's body. Pure energy quickly gathered together and then condensed into a huge crystal skeleton. In the blink of an eye, a fifty-meter-tall half-body crystal skeleton giant appeared.

The huge skeleton giant made a virtual clench of the bone claw in his right hand, and a 50-meter-long large knife made of energy matter appeared.

"No one should laugh at you if you die from such an attack." Wang Ming said with a smile.

Orochimaru formulated the [Konoha Collapse Plan] in the future, which seemed to be destroying Konoha, but in Wang Ming's view, it was simply Orochimaru's last gift to Konoha, and it was also a gorgeous funeral deliberately arranged for his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If Orochimaru really wanted to destroy Konoha, he wouldn't have sneak attacked and killed the Fourth Kazekage Rasa first.

Killing Luo Sha directly caused a loss of a large number of combat power, and also caused Kaguya Kimimaro's blood disease to break out early, which was a thankless task. In a way, Sarutobi Hiruzen had become a cancer that hindered Konoha's development.

Orochimaru's killing of Sarutobi Hiruzen was a redemption of Konoha and also a way of giving Sarutobi Hiruzen dignity.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is too greedy!

He hopes that the position of Hokage will always be held by Sarutobi.

He arranged for his son Asuma Sarutobi to go to the Fire Capital to become the guardian ninja of the Fire Country Daimyo and establish a relationship with the Daimyo.

When Uzumaki Naruto graduated and was divided into classes, Sarutobi Hiruzen's ambitions and tricks were obvious.

Class 10, led by teacher Asuma Sarutobi, students: Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka.

Class 8, led by teacher Yuhi Kurenai, students: Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka
Asuma Sarutobi is the son of the Third Hokage, and Kurenai Yuhi is the daughter-in-law of the Third Hokage.

The couple directly controlled the political resources and network resources of the six most powerful ninja families in Konoha Village.

As for Class 7, it is obviously a class of tools.

Anyone with eyes can see that Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to push his son to become Hokage.

but……

Sarutobi Hiruzen was completely blinded by power. Sarutobi Asuma did not have his strength, let alone his luck.

The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to become the Third Hokage was entirely because Uzumaki Mito relied on his strength that was one dimension beyond that of ordinary ninjas to force all the major ninja clans to recognize Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen himself does not have such strength. If he dares to push Sarutobi Asuma, the first person Hiruzen wants to die will be Danzo.

Orochimaru!
A lot of effort was put into giving Sarutobi Hiruzen a decent funeral!
He planned to summon the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage. Using their fame, he would solidify Sarutobi Hiruzen's title of "the strongest Hokage".

The First and Second Hokage in the Impure World Form are not stronger than the Kazekage Rasa.

Can,
It was a shame for the Third Hokage to die at the hands of Kazekage Rasa, but it was a worthy death for him to die at the hands of Orochimaru and the three previous Hokage.

Wang Ming slashed the ground with the big knife in his hand. Danzo and Hiruzen, whose chakra had been severely depleted, had no ability to dodge.

They could only watch helplessly as the big knife chopped down towards them.

boom---
Wang Ming raised his eyes and looked at the broken energy sword in the energy giant's hand, then looked in the direction where Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were.

Due to the energy from the previous attack, dust was raised there, blocking the view. After a while, the scene inside was revealed.

I saw that a huge gully had been created on the ground.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo were in a very miserable state at this time. Their bodies were covered with wounds and they looked like bloody people who had been tortured to death. It was extremely creepy.

The reason they didn't die at this moment was entirely because of a woman with short hair and black clothes, who was emitting green chakra from her hands, which was extending their lives.

And at the very front, there were two people standing.

It was these two who interrupted Wang Ming's energy sword and prevented Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others from actually dying.

"Setsuna! You really are old but still alive!" (End of this chapter)
