"What?!!!" × n
In an instant, everyone present could no longer sit still, their eyes turning toward the reddish-purple barrier blazing over the stands.
"Hehehe, Old Man, you look a little surprised." Orochimaru looked at the barrier that blotted out even the sky, a flicker of surprise passing through his eyes.
The Sound Four stood at the four corners. Their skin was white, a shattered test tube lay at each of their feet, and chakra far exceeding their usual reserves flowed continuously from their bodies into the barrier.
Unlike the original Four Red Yang Formation and the modified Four Violet Flames Formation, this barrier combined the strengths and weaknesses of both, lowering the minimum requirements for its use and allowing it to be sustained through sheer chakra volume.
You really have been thinking about your teacher, Orochimaru.

"Let's go, Enma." His hands rapidly formed hand seals. The instant the Monkey King Enma was summoned, he transformed into the Gold-Banded Staff, extending rapidly as Sarutobi swung him at Orochimaru.

This was a war between the Five Great Shinobi Villages!
How could he be so unconcerned?
Sarutobi glanced at Rasa. In any case, they were not the only ones trapped
