The events unfolding in the audience threw everyone into chaos, with many rushing to the outside in a panic.
"Mikoto Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha, stand behind me!"
The three of them, including Fugaku, were located not far from each other, where White Zetsu were disguised as nobles from the Land of Earth.
Fugaku, who vaguely knew something, wasn't worried that Konoha couldn't handle these people, but rather that the panicked crowd might cause the two of them, especially Mikoto Uchiha, to get hurt.
The ninjas Konoha had already arranged to kill only the White Zetsu disguised as nobles. Ren did not choose to have the few White Zetsu disguised as ninjas dealt with immediately upon their arrival.
Iwagakure Ninja don't cause trouble, how can they control Ōnoki?
Rostrum.
The ninja village leaders, who had a commanding view of everything that was happening, naturally reacted immediately.
"Hokage, what does Konoha want to do?"
At the moment the incident occurred, Ōnoki flew into the air, preparing his Dust Release technique to kill the ninjas below who were slaughtering the nobles of the Land of Earth.
At the same time, he was muttering to himself.
"This exam in Konoha is a conspiracy, a scheme to lure us here and wipe us out in one fell swoop! Gentlemen, let us fight back together!"
Ōnoki's explanation was reasonable, but the contradictions were swiftly exposed.
The nobles of the Land of Earth who had their heads severed underwent changes one after another; some of them had already become White Zetsu before their heads even hit the ground.
This scene caused the other three Kage and the leaders of various ninja villages, who were initially somewhat tense, to gather with their subordinates and decide to wait and see what would happen.
"The Tsuchikage is probably here to ask you what Iwagakure is trying to do, creating chaos within Konoha while simultaneously launching a frenzied attack on other ninja villages outside of Konoha!"
As soon as Ren finished speaking, a murmur arose.
It's hard to say whether it was Konoha or Iwagakure causing trouble inside the stadium.
The majority of people were inclined to believe that Iwagakure was behind the trouble, since if Konoha were to cause it, the situation would be much more serious, especially since they were all currently in Konoha.
What truly alarmed them was the unusual activity outside the village that Ren mentioned, since their troops were also outside Konoha at the time.
"Gentlemen, Iwagakure has gone mad and is making a desperate gamble, intending to exploit the mutual distrust among you all to destroy the hard-won peace of the Shinobi World. Please give the order immediately to have the external forces surround and kill Iwagakure. As for Ōnoki, don't worry, with me here, he can't harm anyone!"
After saying that, Ren continued.
"Everyone, please make a decision as soon as possible. Those villages that are willing to work with Konoha to maintain peace in the Shinobi World will be richly rewarded by Konoha afterward!"
As he spoke, Ren removed his Ren robe and Hokage hat, and in his combat uniform, he was instantly engulfed in flames as he flew toward Ōnoki.
Meanwhile, Ōnoki, who was in the air, had already realized who was behind it when the nobleman turned into White Zetsu.
Those two strange fellows, one called himself Jue, and the other called himself Ban.
At this moment, Ōnoki just wanted to get away as quickly as possible and go outside the village to check the situation. Regardless of whether Iwagakure was behind it or not, he had already been implicated.
Ōnoki was also exceptionally decisive; just as Ren was about to arrive, he fired his Dust Release towards the stadium below.
The target area was the region with a large number of Konoha Ninja and villagers.
Ōnoki, who was unfamiliar with the Thirty-Six Stratagems and did not understand the concept of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao," still grasped the principle of attacking the enemy's defenses.
If Uchiha Yushu were a competent Hokage, he wouldn't stand by and watch his own people die before his eyes.
To Ōnoki's surprise, Ren ignored the ninjas and villagers below and charged straight at him without hesitation.
What a cruel heart!
Ōnoki quickly withdrew his hand and tried to escape. After he ended Dust Release, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the arena below was completely unharmed, with a crimson sealing barrier completely blocking the Dust Release from the outside.
[Four Red Yang Formation!]
After He Kazuma and the others attacked Konoha, they unexpectedly tested the effectiveness of the Sealing Squad's custom-made equipment. They then worked overtime to install defensive barriers in all key areas of Konoha within a month.
However, Ōnoki saw things differently; Konoha had actually been prepared all along!
His mind raced, Ōnoki considered many possibilities.
Did those two despicable guys cooperate with Konoha? Or were they originally from Konoha?
Considering that one of them displayed Wood Release and the other Sharingan in their eye sockets, Ōnoki leaned more towards the latter.
However, before Ōnoki could think any further, he felt a sharp pain all over his body.
After Ren approached Ōnoki, he did not use a killing move to kill Ōnoki, because Ōnoki's life was still useful.
Only when the distance was sufficient Susanoo to grab Ōnoki in his hand, and controlled the force so as not to crush him.
However, this also caused almost all of Ōnoki's bones to shatter, leaving him completely unable to move and on the verge of unconsciousness.
Before losing consciousness, Ōnoki was still shouting.
"Run! Don't trust Konoha! It's all a conspiracy by Konoha!"
A moment later, Ren threw the now unrecognizable Ōnoki into the center of the field, and soon Sealing Squad and medical ninjas came and took Ōnoki away.
Meanwhile, ninjas from various ninja villages came to their leaders to report the intelligence they had just obtained.
