Four Violet Flames Formation

The audience on stage was unusually quiet; this battle was strikingly different from the previous ones.

After seeing Gaara release Shukaku's arm, Baki broke out in a cold sweat, carefully observing the changes around him, ready to catch any signals that might be sent at any moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at Gaara's sand sphere.

That was...

He had a guess, but he wasn't sure.

Kanami's gaze sharpened, and he grasped Hinata's small hand beside him.

He knew that Kabuto Yakushi was about to use Illusion Technique.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi and other Ninja realized something was amiss after what had just happened, Kabuto Yakushi, disguised as Anbu, secretly used the Nirvana Corpse Rebirth Technique.

A massive A-rank Illusion Technique, feathers suddenly appeared slowly drifting down before the eyes of the people who were watching intently.

Huh?

The villagers on the stage, including some Ninja who were unaware that they were under Illusion Technique, all swayed and collapsed in their seats.

It has fallen into a deep sleep.

"Untie."

The moment Kanami saw the feathers, he knew that Kabuto Yakushi had already begun his operation.

He disrupted the flow of Chakra within his body, thus dispelling the Illusion Technique.

Then, through their tightly clasped hands, they helped Hinata break free of the Illusion Technique.

Hinata, now fully awake, rubbed her eyes. "That's strange, did Kanami just see some feathers?"

"That's Illusion Technique. Something bad is going to happen. Let's go find Uncle first."

Without much hesitation, Kanami and Hinata immediately took action.

At that moment, the two Sand Ninja guards behind Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Kazekage, triggered the smoke bombs in their hands.

A loud bang was heard, followed by a thick cloud of smoke.

At the same time, before Hiruzen Sarutobi's guards could react, a shuriken thrown by a Sand Ninja guard into his chest was pierced by the shuriken.

"Ugh! Run! Lord Hokage..."

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced to the side, Orochimaru suddenly stood up and attacked, grabbing Hiruzen Sarutobi's neck with Kunai and leaping onto the roof of the highest point in the sky.

At the same time, the Sand Village ninjas who were lurking around the outskirts of Mokunoha Village received the signal and immediately took action.

In a clearing in the dense forest, an enormous Summoning Jutsu array had been set up at some unknown time.

Six Sand Ninja ninja sat in the corners around the jutsu array, each taking out a pre-prepared scroll and channeling their Chakra into the array.

"Summoning Jutsu."

A Killer Bee Three-Headed Snake was summoned from the Summoning Jutsu array.

The Three-Headed Snake smashed the thick walls of Konoha to pieces with its massive body alone.

The moment the plan began, Konoha Village was beset by internal and external troubles.

All Anbu members have begun their operations, except for Kanami.

On the rooftop, an elephant dressed in white robes stood surrounded by several Anbu members in black robes.

"Wood Squad, go up; Fire Squad, go down. Begin the operation."

As the elephant spoke methodically, four men in black robes, codenamed Fire Squad, jumped down to protect the Feudal Lord and villagers of various countries.

The three black-robed men left behind by Wood Squad went with Elephant to rescue Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Just as Xiang and the others rushed forward, four more Otogakure Ninja jumped out.

They are Jirobo, Tayuya, Kidomaru, and Sakon and Sakon Ukon.

The four of them stood at the four corners of the rooftop, surrounding Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru, and used Barrier Ninjutsu.

"Ninpō, Four Violet Flames Formation."

A purple barrier formation instantly rose up around them.

Upon seeing the barrier, Xiang ordered, "Ray! Go protect the Lord Hokage!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, one of the Masked Man rushed forward.

He plunged headfirst into the Four Violet Flames Formation, his whole body instantly bursting into flames. With a scream, he crashed headfirst onto the roof, tumbled around, and then slammed hard onto the ground.

"This..."

The two remaining black-robed Anbu members behind him glanced at Xiang with lingering fear.

"Thank goodness they didn't call me."

The person behind the elephant mask said solemnly:

"This barrier can only be broken from the inside. We can only help after the Lord Hokage kills one of them."

"Hmph, naive," Kidomaru chuckled.

"Tayuya, we'll also set up a barrier on the inner side."

Instantly, a small purple array also formed around the four people who cast the Four Violet Flames Formation.

"Hateful."

Xiang and the remaining two Anbu could only watch from the outside, unable to make a move.

Meanwhile, Danzō Shimura, hidden in his underground Root Base, was accompanied by dozens of Root who listened to the commotion coming from outside.

"Danzō! He actually made us stay here!"

Among them were one or two Anbu members, their fists clenched beneath their robes, whispering to themselves.

Within the Anbu are Root, and within the Root are Anbu.

They were Hiruzen Sarutobi's Anbu who had infiltrated Root to monitor Danzō's movements.

The Anbu and the Root are fundamentally from the same source. After Hiruzen Sarutobi abolished the radical Root, Danzō did not completely disband it, but secretly cultivated his own Root.

Danzō chose to stand by and watch, knowing that regardless of whether Hiruzen Sarutobi or Orochimaru failed and died, he could still reap the benefits.

In this collaboration, his role is simply to weaken some of Konoha's forces.

"Hiruzen, I told you, you'd regret it."

Danzō Shimura's small eyes revealed a sinister, cold glint.

Kanami has already joined up with Hyuga Hiashi.

"Uncle, I'm leaving Hinata with you. I have something to take care of."

"Okay, things are chaotic right now. I'll take Hinata back to the manor first. Be careful."

Hyuga Hiashi didn't look at Kanami; instead, he activated his Byakugan, wary of the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja who might jump out at any moment.

"Kanami..."

Hinata's face was filled with worry.

Kanami smiled and reassured her, "It's alright, with you here, I won't put myself in danger."

call out--

Several shuriken and Kunai the distance.

Kanami instantly appeared beside the Sound Ninja hiding behind the pillar.

What?!

Click--

Kanami simply snapped his neck.

"Uncle, you go first."

She then closed her eyes and activated Mind's Eye of the Kagura.

"Good."

Hyuga Hiashi nodded and left with Hinata.

Under the Byakugan, nothing within a kilometer can hide; if he so chooses, he won't encounter those troublesome Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja.

As he sped towards the mansion, he said, "Don't worry, he's very strong, even stronger than Father."

"Yes, I know..."

Hinata said softly.

She knew Kanami was very strong, but she was still worried about his safety.

With his eyes closed, Kanami, who had activated Mind's Eye of the Kagura, sensed that Hyuga Hiashi and Hinata had already appeared outside the arena.

"It'll be quick, Uncle."

Once Kanami knows a specific Chakra, his Mind's Eye of the Kagura can perceive the opponent's location and movements in detail.

Kiba Inuzuka... Fūka... Yuzuki...

Kanami sensed the location of each person one by one. Just as he was carefully sensing the location of Shino Aburame, he discovered that Shino seemed to be outside the arena.

Where did Shino go at this time?

Kanami opened his eyes and frowned slightly.

He thought about it for a long time before he remembered.

"I remember he went to chase after Sasuke, right?"

After confirming that the other party was not in immediate danger, Kanami noticed that Fūka and Yuzuki were awake and, according to his senses, were clearly hiding somewhere without moving.

So they headed towards the unconscious Kiba Inuzuka.
