Hiruzen Sarutobi's Envy

Seeing that Utakata was about to be sucked into Chibaku Tensei, Naruto condensed another small Tailed Beast Ball.

Not only is the distance too far, but even if Naruto catches up with Utakata by now, it's unclear whether the Tailed Beast Ball is aimed at Chibaku Tensei or Utakata.

Naruto was able to react, but Utakata reacted even faster, firing the second Tailed Beast Ball Chibaku Tensei.

The attack launched by the Chibaku Tensei requires almost no aiming.

Utakata watched as the Tailed Beast Ball hit its target, followed by another roar and billowing smoke.

His vision was obstructed, but Utakata knew he hadn't destroyed the core of the opponent's technique, because he was still being drawn in.

But at that moment, three crimson Chakra Tomoe pierced through the smoke and dust, precisely striking the core of the technique.

Then, countless stones fell to the ground under the force of gravity, and Utakata was among them.

Utakata and Six-Tails shared the same thought, Saiken's massive head turned towards the direction from which the final attack had come.

Two figures, neither particularly tall nor very old, rushed toward the scene. The slightly taller but unusually young figure had bloodshot eyes.

The newcomers were none other than Itachi Uchiha and Hiruzen Sarutobi, but both were in extremely poor condition.

After sealing four Tailed Beasts in succession, he rushed back to the Land of Fire from the Land of Demons without rest. It would be problematic if he were in an unusually energetic state.

After the Akatsuki sealed the Two-Tails to the Four-Tails, Obito and Black Zetsu did not immediately arrive at the front lines.

Black Chrysanthemum needs to adapt to the surge in power and control the partially revived Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, while Obito needs to recover his Chakra and reach his optimal state.

Therefore, it took the two almost a day and a half after the seal ended for them to arrive at the front lines of the Land of Fire battlefield.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Itachi Uchiha, after delivering the information, rushed towards the Land of Fire without stopping.

Their appearance was noticed not only by Utakata, but also by the other Konoha ninjas.

Only Fugaku and a few Uchiha Clan members knew that the two were Konoha spies.

Most people were wary of the two's presence.

Hiruzen Sarutobi Itachi Uchiha are still Konoha missing-nin, and their leaders are still here.

Hearing the wary glances from those around him, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke loudly.

"I am Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha. My act of betraying the village was a spy operation conducted in consultation with the Fifth Hokage!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi then subtly elevated his own status, portraying his forced departure from the village as a voluntary one, thus highlighting his Will of Fire.

However, the Konoha Ninja who were fighting the White Zetsu on the battlefield did not withdraw their vigilant gazes.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi the village, it was big news for the entire Shinobi World.

Even if we're not lying now, how do we explain the Sarutobi Clan ninjas who died back then?

There are just too many suspicious points!

Black Zetsu 'Chibaku Tensei attempt failed, and his displeasure with Itachi Uchiha reached its peak.

But at this moment, Black Zetsu's eyes shifted slightly, and he shouted loudly as well.

"Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, you've finally arrived! Quickly, cooperate with me to capture the Six-Tails!"

Although he didn't really care about the two of them, and knew perfectly well what kind of people they were Black Zetsu was completely aware of their backgrounds.

However, Black Zetsu had none of the Uchiha Clan's bad habits, nor did he possess any of the arrogance of a strongman.

Even if two people are weak, they can still strengthen their own side and weaken the enemy.

Even if it doesn't work, causing some trouble for Konoha would be good.

As expected, the moment Black Zetsu uttered those words, the wary gaze that had been directed at Hiruzen Sarutobi and Itachi Uchiha changed, becoming filled with hostility and ill will.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Black Zetsu, his gaze carrying a profound meaning.

That's a tough guy, but he's got the makings!

Sensing that he and Itachi were in a precarious situation, and that if things dragged on any longer, the Konoha Ninja might attack them.

Well!

With a slight sigh, Hiruzen Sarutobi pulled out a scroll.

"This was given to me by the Fifth Emperor; it proves my identity!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi swiftly Hand Seals, then slapped the unfolded scroll.

Untie!

Black lines radiated outwards from the center of the scroll.

Then, a semi-transparent phantom appeared in the field, surrounded by blazing white flames.

Lord Flame!

Uchiha Yushu!

This unique Chakra aura appeared, causing the surrounding air to expand dramatically, like a flame distorting space.

This does not unintentionally reveal the person's identity.

Even Obito, who was still locked in a battle of attrition with Rasa, immediately glanced over here out of the corner of his eye.

Only after realizing it was just a wisp of Chakra did they breathe a sigh of relief and focus on dealing with Rasa and Kakashi.

Unfortunately, Tobi's repeated failures led him to develop severe Ren.

"The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, was ordered by me to feign defection to the village on a spy mission. Konoha, obey my orders and do not cause any trouble!"

After saying this, Ren's Chakra vanished into nothingness, but the battlefield responded with almost unanimous agreement.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!" ×N

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked around at the Konoha Ninja. Their eyes no longer held any wariness or hostility, only complete trust.

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt envious!
