The Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf

Orochimaru, you're still as unlikable as ever!

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi intent, and the aura of the once-renowned Shinobi Hero once again erupted from his short, hunched body.

"Don't say that, Hiruzen- sensei!"

Orochimaru licked his lips. "Isn't it said that the more troublesome the student, the cuter they are?"

"This isn't the time for you to play house with me, old man. Let's get serious. I won't go easy on you just because you're senile!"

As if echoing his former teacher, Orochimaru unleashed the Chakra within him.

"That suits me perfectly!"

The auras of two top-tier Kage Level ninjas clashed, and even the surrounding environment was destroyed by the Chakra that the two had accumulated to the peak and then exploded. The solid tiles beneath their feet began to crack inch by inch, and the cracks gradually spread outwards. The shattered stones even floated into the sky against the force of gravity.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

Several spinning Shuriken were launched by the Third Hokage with a force and speed that ordinary ninjas could hardly throw, instantly splitting into countless overwhelming metal storms in mid-air.

Orochimaru chuckled coldly twice, then immediately Hand Seals and slammed his hands together on the ground.

"Impure World Reincarnation!"

"Is it using Summoning Technique as a defense? No, that's..."

The moment Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Orochimaru Hand Seals, he guessed that Orochimaru was about to use the forbidden technique invented by the Second Hokage. His expression changed drastically, and he bit his finger in an instant.

"Monkey King!"

With a bang, his old companion, the demonic ape, was summoned. The tall, strong ape, with whom he shared a deep connection, instantly transformed into a heavy steel club in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.

Stretch out!

With a fierce shout, the Third Hokage's staff instantly grew thicker and longer, Adamantine Staff slammed it down hard on the coffin that was rising from the ground.

However, there were three coffins summoned by Orochimaru. The first and second coffins were intact, while the last one was torn to pieces by a steel rod.

Seeing the coffin that had been successfully summoned, even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had fought countless battles throughout his life, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Although we successfully blocked the Fourth, the First and Second are in trouble now!"

Orochimaru chuckled, "Is the teacher really getting old? Even his eyesight is failing?"

"Although I tried to awaken the Fourth, unfortunately, I couldn't do it at all!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the shattered coffin and noticed that the number "three" was written on it.

"No, it's the third? The Third? Could it be myself?"

But the situation left Hiruzen Sarutobi no time to think; the two familiar figures emerging from the coffins had already sent chills down his spine.

Suddenly, the two powerful figures who dominated the Warring States period and ended the chaos opened their eyes.

"Little monkey/ Hiruzen, long time no see!"

"First Master, Teacher!"

Upon seeing his once-powerful elders again, even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but shed tears.

"Haha! It seems Konoha is doing quite well now!"

Hashirama Senju, glanced at the village, which had undergone many changes, scratched his hair, and laughed.

"Idiot, big brother, this place doesn't look good at all! Konoha has clearly been invaded!"

The cold-faced, white-haired, expressionless man glared fiercely at his elder brother. "And didn't you notice we're being controlled?"

"Eh, no wonder I feel so weak, I can't even squeeze out much Chakra!"

Hashirama Senju belatedly realized the difference in his body and immediately turned to complain about his younger brother.

"I told you long ago, Tobirama, stop developing these weird Ninjutsu!"

"My original intention was to use the Impure World Reincarnation as a trump card to protect the village, but it seems that someone who has learned this forbidden technique has defected!"

Tobirama Senju's eyes flashed coldly as he fixed them on Orochimaru, who was standing to the side. "Young man, it's you, isn't it!"

"I summoned these two esteemed figures not so you could reminisce with your teacher, so what's next?"

Orochimaru took out two Kunai covered in incantations and licked them with his tongue.

"Next, I'd like you two to help me destroy— Konoha!!!"

At this very moment, outside the Four Violet Flames Formation.

Countless unsuspecting Konoha Ninja, spectators, and villagers were affected by the massive Genjutsu and quietly fell asleep.

However, some alert ninjas were the first to sense the danger and forcibly dispelled the Genjutsu's effects with a burst of Chakra.

Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy were the first to break the Genjutsu, watching as the entire Kakashi Hatake Konoha into chaos due to the invasion of foreign enemies.

Seeing the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja suddenly attacking the Konoha Ninja nearby, several enormous pythons, as big as skyscrapers, appeared and breached the Konoha walls.

Kakashi immediately deduced that the Sunagakure and the Sound Ninja were conspiring to rebel against Konoha.

Relying on his prestige as "Kakashi of the Sharingan" and "Technician of Konoha" in Konoha, Kakashi instantly ordered the somewhat panicked Konoha Ninja to deploy their forces.

"Tenten, Sakura, you two, rescue Naruto and the others and get them to the stands. Protect the important figures during their evacuation, and try to get help from the village's ninja clans!"

"Notify Sasuke and Shikamaru to stop that red-haired brat who controls the sand from leaving!"

"Genma, Raidō, Aoba! Organize your guards to launch a counterattack and drive the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja out of the village!"

"Yes!"

"Clear!"

Realizing the critical situation, everyone immediately obeyed Kakashi's orders to evacuate, while Might Guy flashed to his side, looking at the area surrounded by the Four Violet Flames Formation with a worried expression.

There were already many Anbu ninjas there trying to forcefully break through the array barrier to rescue the Third Hokage, but the moment any ninja touched the purple barrier, they were instantly turned into charred remains by the intense heat.

Kakashi reassured Guy, "Don't worry, the Third Hokage isn't so easily defeated by Orochimaru. There are more important things waiting for us..."

As he spoke, Kakashi Hatake turned his gaze to the center of the arena, where two teams from the Otogakure had gathered around the red-haired boy.

Whenever a Konoha Ninja tried to get close to them, they were instantly knocked to the ground, none of them able to withstand a single blow.

The Sound Ninja and Sunagakure launched an attack on Konoha, so what about that boy who had previously had a good impression of me...?

Kakashi still can't believe this conclusion; all he can say is that Dōmeki is a truly insidious fellow!!!

The rest of the enemies can be dealt with, but the most dangerous guys in the Sound Ninja are right here!

"Might Guy, the enemy is extremely troublesome. Don't show mercy just because they're old!"

Kakashi gave his friend some instructions, then he and Might Guy sped off towards Dōmeki and the others.

Dōmeki keenly caught Kakashi and Might Guy's gazes, but finally fixed his eyes on the man.

"Konoha's proud Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
