Having roughly learned about Hinata and the others' situation, and seeing that Naruto was also alright, Jiraiya felt somewhat relieved.
However, the seal inside Naruto's body does seem to have loosened considerably.
Hinata is able to use the Nine-Tails' power, perhaps because she has some special qualities, but the Nine-Tails and Naruto are natural enemies.
The Nine-Tails is like a prisoner, and Naruto is the prison that imprisons the Nine-Tails.
Therefore, Naruto's condition remains a cause for concern.
Gaara glanced at Gaara Jiraiya instructed, "You guys go to the venue first! Be careful on the way, and don't be too conspicuous!"
At this point, Jiraiya glared at Hinata.
"There are still many Sand Ninja invading the village. Don't provoke too many powerful enemies, or you might end up in tragedy."
Hinata said nonchalantly, "It's okay, we have the Nine-Tails, our Chakra is endless."
Jiraiya: "..."
Hinata and her group endured countless hardships on their way from the outskirts of the village to the venue.
Whenever Hinata encounters Konoha Ninja in battle, she will shout that she has captured Gaara the One-Tail Gaara, using this skill to draw aggro with unparalleled prowess.
The Sand Village ninjas tried to rescue Gaara, but Konoha Genin.
Gaara and his companions were experiencing incredibly complex emotions. One by one, the Sand Ninja were killed by Hinata while trying to save them, yet the attack on Konoha was initiated by the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja.
That's how hatred is between ninjas. Whether it's intentional or unintentional, hatred arises as long as you kill my comrade.
However, given the current situation, even if Gaara and the others wanted to stop it, they could no longer do so.
Gaara had all his pressure points sealed, Kankuro was critically injured and on the verge of death, and even lost his puppet. Temari was not seriously injured, but she was no match for Shino, who was disguised Demon Fox Cloak.
They didn't even have any grounds to stop Hinata from killing.
Hinata doesn't kill the Sand Ninja, is she just going to stand by and watch them kill the Sand Ninja Konoha Ninja?
In the middle of the arena, Kakashi, Might Guy, and Genma Shiranui were facing off against Baki of the Sand Village and Kabuto Yakushi, who was disguised as Anbu.
Although the five people were not seriously injured, they were panting heavily, having not fought for some time.
It seems Genma Shiranui did indeed take action...
"Konoha Genin Hinata Hyuga, led a group of Konoha Genin to capture Gaara, the One-Tail Gaara, from Sunagakure..."
Hinata shouted and jumped down from the wall outside the venue.
Behind him were five Konoha Genin dressed as Demon Fox Cloak, Naruto the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the three captured Gaara.
The Nine-Tails 'Chakra has three advantages.
First, it can improve a ninja's basic attributes and the power of Ninjutsu.
Secondly, it can help recover from some injuries quickly.
Third, the existence of the Demon Fox Cloak also increased Hinata and the others' ability to withstand attacks.
Hinata ran from the outskirts of the village to the meeting place, killing one person every ten steps and leaving no trace for a thousand miles. After the deed was done, they left without a trace, spreading their fame and glory.
Despite having fought numerous battles, Hinata six companions remained... completely unharmed!
Even his Chakra was still plentiful.
Kakashi and the other four were immediately drawn to Hinata and her friends.
Especially Baki of the Sand Village, whose hair was practically turning white with worry.
Gaara... has been captured?
He didn't Tailed Beast Transformation?
Or was he defeated after Tailed Beast Transformation?
That can't be!
Wait... what's with those Konoha Genin? Is that Nine-Tails's Chakra?
Has Konoha already figured out a way to share the Tailed Beast Chakra?
No matter what, Gaara must be rescued... Even though these people possess the power of the Nine-Tails, they are still just Genin!
Thinking of this, Baki whispered to Kabuto Yakushi, "Hold those three back for a moment!"
"Don't go over there!"
Kabuto Yakushi said in a low voice, "That Byakugan girl who's in charge is no less powerful than me, and now she has the Nine-Tails 'Chakra. We're no match for her!"
"Retreat immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kabuto Yakushi ignored Baki completely and disappeared into the ground...
Baki: "..."
Before Baki could react, Kakashi and Might Guy had already used Body Flicker Technique to get to Baki's side, while Shikamaru's Shadow Jutsu was constantly entangled with Baki, making it impossible for him to concentrate.
Hinata, Sasuke, Rock Lee, and other genin skilled in close combat also rushed Genin to surround and attack Baki.
The Sunagakure's Elite Jonin thus became Konoha's prisoners.
At the crucial moment, Gaara spoke up and saved his life.
Everyone knows that Gaara has the One-Tail Beast sealed inside him.
Although he cannot gather Chakra or Tailed Beast Transformation at this moment, who knows if Gaara will go berserk under excessive stimulation.
Hinata glanced around and asked, "Teacher Kakashi, have all the enemies here been eliminated?"
Kakashi nodded slightly, then looked towards the high platform in the venue, his tone somewhat complicated as he said, "Only that's left..."
Outside the Four Violet Flames Formation, two Konoha Anbu, on whom Kakashi had placed high hopes, were providing commentary on the battle Third and Orochimaru.
"It's been too long!"
"A battle between ninjas couldn't possibly last an hour. What exactly happened inside?"
Inside the Four Violet Flames Formation.
The Third Hokage was extremely weak, but his gaze remained resolute as he looked at Orochimaru, panting as he said, "In this way, you won't be able to use your hands. If you can't use your hands, you won't be able to Hand Seals..."
"You can no longer use Ninjutsu!"
Orochimaru's arms were completely black, like those of a lifeless corpse.
With a ferocious expression, Orochimaru roared at the Third Hokage, "Old man, give me back my hand!"
The Third looked at Orochimaru with a somewhat complicated expression.
As the Death God devoured the Third's soul, the Third also lost his last breath, and his body slowly collapsed to the ground.
Before his death, the Third had a faint smile on his face.
That was a smile that Orochimaru could never understand in his entire life.
"Asshole!"
Orochimaru gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his hands, and said with resentment, "The operation is over. We don't need the barrier anymore. Let's go back!"
The Four Violet Flames Formation slowly disappeared, and the Sound Four, supporting Orochimaru, quickly fled.
Two Konoha Anbu leaped to intercept them, but were caught in the Sound Ninja's spider web and unable to move...
What a pathetic Anbu!
The competition venue.
Might Guy looked at Kakashi and asked, "Kakashi, they've made their move. Should we chase after them?"
"Wait! Might Guy!"
Kakashi said in a deep voice, "The most important thing right now is to repel the enemies in the village. We can settle the score with Orochimaru later!"
The Four Violet Flames Formation dissipated, and a group of Konoha Ninja leaped onto the rooftop of the high platform, surrounding the deceased Third Hokage, bowing their heads in silence...
