Konoha and the Hidden Rock Village's All-Out War

Hearing Masaichi's wails, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally remembered his student.

He had already undone the sealing technique on Minato.

There was no way that sealing technique belonged to the Hidden Rock Village!

All of this had been arranged by Orochimaru.

When he first heard Masaichi crying, Hiruzen Sarutobi had a bad feeling and thought Orochimaru was dead. But when he looked, Orochimaru had actually sat up. They would settle this score when they got back!

Minato was your junior!

It would have been one thing if you didn't know how to show restraint, but you nearly got Minato killed!

"Looks like I didn't die after all, Masaichi."

"That's great, Teacher! You... you actually didn't die."

"Really? Your reaction doesn't look like you just found out."

Seeing that Orochimaru was alive, his former subordinates came over to exchange awkward pleasantries.

"Am I too late?!"

Just then, Ōnoki's reinforcements arrived belatedly. He hovered in the sky, looking at the rescued Orochimaru and Minato.

Damn it!!

So close?!!

What the hell were those idiots doing? Why would they pull off something so brainless?

Ōnoki even felt as though someone had lowered their intelligence.

But if they really had become stupid, they had still managed to capture Orochimaru and Minato before.

"Ōnoki!!"

"Hiruzen Sarutobi!!!"

When enemies met, their eyes burned red with hatred.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no idea how Orochimaru had accomplished all this.

But Ōnoki had wanted to wipe out Konoha in a single battle!

The championship match had begun.

Current mode: All-out melee.

Konoha VS Hidden Rock Village.

"Minato, your grandmaster will make the Hidden Rock Village pay for this!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned Enma, who transformed into the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and charged in swinging it.

"Let's go too! Shikaku, Inoichi, Chōza... Obito!"

Minato had no Flying Thunder God Kunai on him, so this would be a taijutsu battle.

"One cough!!" Obito put on his goggles, opened his One-Tomoe Sharingan, and charged forward with them.

The others followed as well, joining the battle.

"Teacher, it's time to earn some merit," Masaichi said to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru nodded. He had once believed he would become Hokage, but in the end, he had lived like the comic clown in an opera.

"Masaichi."

"What is it, Teacher?"

"Nothing."

I regret not listening to you back then.

"If the Third Hokage doesn't want to give me the position, then I'll take it back."

Orochimaru himself had never been interested in becoming Hokage, but now, whatever would make Hiruzen Sarutobi angry was exactly what he would do.

His only goal was to make the Third Hokage miserable.

He had finally decided to fight for it!

Masaichi supported him with all his heart.

Though having said that, Danzo supported him too.

He had worked with Orochimaru for so many years. How could he not know Orochimaru's personality? He was the kind who left everything to others, filled with curiosity about everything and wanting only to understand the truth of the world.

It was only his years-long bond with that monkey that had held him back.

As long as Orochimaru became Hokage, Danzo could hollow out his authority in minutes.

"Orochimaru, this old man will fully support your bid to become Hokage!" Danzo stood behind Orochimaru and charged forward with him.

Before he hollowed Orochimaru out, he would not reveal his true intentions.

The war between Konoha and the Hidden Rock Village was an all-out war.

From the Kage of both villages down to students who had just graduated from their respective ninja academies, everyone took part in the battle.

For Ōnoki to be able to send reinforcements here meant Jiraiya had been beaten badly and was recovering, utterly unable to join the fight.

Hiruzen Sarutobi VS Ōnoki.

Minato and Orochimaru each dealt with one Jinchūriki.

There was a reason people had always considered the Hyuga Clan Konoha's foremost noble clan and the Byakugan the strongest eyes.

Whether they were talented or not, they could all awaken the Byakugan and learn their clan's secret art of striking chakra points.

Against Jonin, Chunin, and Genin alike, this technique of striking chakra points was practically a bug. Hiashi Hyuga and his brother could instantly see through an enemy's weaknesses and deliver fatal blows.

The secret techniques of Konoha's other ninja clans also began showing their might.

From this alone, Konoha was undoubtedly superior.

But the Hidden Rock Village had greater numbers than Konoha. Kill one, and another ninja would come, launching endless attacks at you.

Both sides fought with great difficulty in this battle.

"Water Release!"

"Earth Release!!"

"Fire Release!!!"

All kinds of ninjutsu collided chaotically across the battlefield.

Underground, Madara saw that the time was right and arranged for White Zetsu to disguise themselves as Rock ninja and enter the battle.

Target! Obito!!

"I actually killed a child..." Obito stared blankly at his hands. Those hands were stained with sin.

It wasn't as though he had never killed anyone as a ninja before.

But this was the first time he had personally killed a Hidden Rock Village child who looked to be around eight years old.

"Help!"

A cry for help came from nearby. Rin had been captured again. Several White Zetsu posing as Rock ninja deliberately gave Obito time to react, remaining where they were as they waited for him to pursue them.

"Rin!"

Hearing little Rin's cry for help, Obito was no longer lost! So what if he had killed a child? The Third Shinobi World War had to end as soon as possible! Otherwise, Rin could be sacrificed too.

For Rin! He could sacrifice every child in the Hidden Rock Village!

"There's an opening!!"

But before he could go save her, Masaichi chopped off the heads of those White Zetsu one after another.

They were in the middle of a war, and they still dared to slack off.

Seriously.

"You motherf—" Madara could link to White Zetsu's vision to observe the battle in real time. His view instantly shifted from Obito to the sky.

Madara's mouth twitched, and he could only helplessly arrange for several more White Zetsu.

Ten minutes later.

"Report~~"

White Zetsu sent an urgent report. They had been killed by Masaichi again.

That guy's physical abilities were too strong. They were only White Zetsu; aside from recovering a little faster, they couldn't beat him with kunai at all. That kid was too strong, and his reflexes were especially sharp.

"Then send more!" Madara dispatched several more White Zetsu. He had plenty of them anyway.

A ninja's stamina was limited. He wanted to see how long Masaichi could last.

The answer was: a very long time.

All that food had not gone to waste. The meals and protein powder had been transformed into nutrients within his body, continuously supplying Masaichi with strength.

His chakra reserves and physical abilities were nothing like what an ordinary person should possess.

"Send more!!" Madara suppressed his fury.

Ten minutes later.

"Report~~"

Ten minutes later.

"Report~~"

"Report~~"

No one even knew how many batches of White Zetsu had died by now.

Even a clay figurine had its limits, let alone Madara!

He directly took control of a White Zetsu body and went looking for Masaichi himself.

Come on, then. Let me see just how badass you are!!
