Zhang Yu flipped the meat on the grill.
"Uncertain."
Sakura was a little worried.
" Gaara's sand is too troublesome."
" Sasuke still has a trump card."
Zhang Yu handed her a skewer of grilled meat.
"Eat first."
As soon as Sakura took a bite, she offered her skewer of vegetables to Zhang Yu's mouth.
You eat too.
Zhang Yu took a bite directly.
Ino immediately brought over the popcorn.
"And this too."
Ban sat beside him, taking a sip of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) and a bite of roasted meat.
He didn't want to watch the three of them anymore.
Inside the arena, Sasuke had already widened the distance again.
Gaara's breathing grew heavier.
He raised his hand to cover his face.
Sand began to cover his entire body.
"Why?"
How did you manage to meet me?
More sand poured out of the gourd.
The sand quickly gathered, enveloping Gaara into a giant sand ball.
Temari's expression changed on the sidelines.
Gaara is angry.
Kankuro lowered his voice.
He's losing control.
Third Eye emerged from the surface of the sand ball, watching every part of the arena.
Sasuke leaped onto the wall.
His right hand hung down at his side.
Chakra began to gather in his palm.
The piercing chirping of birds echoed throughout the venue.
Lightning crackled in his hand.
Kakashi looked down without saying a word.
Naruto's eyes widened.
What kind of Ninjutsu is that?
Zhang Yu put the grilled meat skewers into a plate.
" Chidori."
" Ninjutsu specifically designed to break through absolute defenses."
Sasuke dashed down the wall.
The speed is getting faster and faster.
The lightning on his right hand became even more dazzling.
" Chidori!"
He crashed headfirst into the sand ball.
The lightning and the sand were locked in a stalemate for a moment.
The next second, Sasuke's arm pierced through the outer shell.
Fresh blood flowed out from inside the sand sphere.
Gaara's screams echoed throughout the arena.
Zhang Yu picked up his wine glass and clinked it against Ban's.
Five minutes.
Ban drank Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).
"Is Orochimaru about to make a move?"
"Almost."
Zhang Yu looked towards the Hokage viewing area.
" Orochimaru's Konoha Crush Plan is about to begin."
"Our Orochimaru Collapse Plan should also begin simultaneously."
Kabuto Yakushi stood up from a distance.
He Hand Seals with his hands.
The Genjutsu quickly covered the entire venue.
" The Temple of Nirvana Technique!"
Large petals drifted down from above.
Ordinary people in the audience closed their eyes one after another.
Someone is leaning on the railing.
Someone collapsed in their seat.
The Konoha Ninja quickly noticed something was wrong.
"It's Genjutsu!"
"Release it immediately!"
The Sunagakure and Sound Ninja, who had already infiltrated the venue, stood up simultaneously.
Kunai to draw its sword.
The Explosive Tag flew into the arena.
Explosions rang out one after another.
Orochimaru, disguised Kazekage, grabbed Hiruzen Sarutobi and leaped onto the roof with him.
The four Sound Ninja followed immediately.
A purple barrier rose, trapping the two inside.
Gaara is unable to continue the match.
Temari and Kankuro rushed into the field and supported him from both sides.
"Retreat!"
The three of them quickly leaped out of the venue.
Kakashi raised his hand, bit his finger until it bled, and then pressed it to the ground.
" Summoning Technique!"
Pakkun appeared in the white smoke.
Kakashi looked at Naruto, Shikamaru, and the others.
"Follow Pakkun."
"Catch up with Gaara's squad!"
On the viewing platform, Hiruzen Sarutobi grabbed by the shoulder by Orochimaru and carried onto the roof.
After landing, he raised his hand to break free of his restraints and turned to stare at the Fourth Kazekage beside him.
" Kazekage."
What do you mean by that?
Orochimaru raised his hand and took off his straw hat.
A human skin mask then fell off, revealing a face that Hiruzen Sarutobi knew all too well.
Orochimaru!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression darkened.
"It really was you."
Orochimaru licked his lips.
"Teacher."
"You've aged so much over the years."
Hiruzen Sarutobi his Adamantine Staff Jingu Bang tightly.
Where is the real Fourth Kazekage?
"Since you're sitting in his seat, it seems he's already met with misfortune."
Orochimaru did not deny it.
"Asking now is pointless."
"After today, Konoha will become history, just like him."
As soon as the two finished speaking, four figures landed at the four corners of the roof.
It was the Sound Four.
Sakon, Kidomaru, Tayuya, and Jirobo wasted no time and began Hand Seals as soon as they landed.
" Four Violet Flames Formation!"
Four purple beams of light shot into the sky.
The pillars of light quickly connected, forming a closed barrier that trapped Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi in the center of the rooftop.
A member of the Konoha Anbu rushed onto the roof.
He wanted to cross the barrier to support the Hokage, but as soon as his arm touched the purple barrier, purple flames burned up his sleeve.
"Ah!"
The member of the Anbu quickly retreated, rolling several times on the rooftop before extinguishing the flames on his body.
Upon seeing this, the rest of the Anbu all stopped outside the barrier.
"The barrier must not be touched!"
"Attack the caster first!"
Several Kunai fired at the Sound Four.
The Kunai collided with the purple beam of light and was instantly burned to scrap metal.
The four stood at the four corners of the barrier, maintaining their Ninjutsu.
External attacks simply cannot break through.
The venue was in complete chaos.
The Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja rushed out from the stands.
The Konoha Ninja immediately engaged in battle.
Explosive Tag kept exploding, shattering tables, chairs, and railings one after another.
Zhang Yu put the last skewer of grilled meat onto the plate and patted the seasoning off his hands.
"That's about it."
Ban looked up at the roof.
" Hashirama and Tobirama haven't appeared yet."
"They're waiting."
Zhang Yu picked up his glass and finished the Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) inside.
"It's not time to make an appearance yet."
Neither of them noticed that on another rooftop outside the Four Violet Flames Formation, two figures were lying down.
Hashirama rested his hands behind his head.
Tobirama crossed his arms and leaned against the other side of the roof ridge.
They were not wearing Anbu' masks.
He simply used the roof structure to conceal his figure and quietly observed the situation inside the barrier.
Orochimaru did not notice them.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also unaware.
The Konoha Ninja below were busy fighting off the enemy, and no one noticed that there were two more people here.
Hashirama looked at the Four Violet Flames Formation.
How much longer do we have to wait?
"Wait until Orochimaru uses the Impure World Reincarnation."
Tobirama replied, "The boss instructed me not to show up early."
"All right."
Hashirama adjusted his posture.
"Then lie down a little longer."
On the viewing platform, Zhang Yu stretched.
The meat skewers on the table were almost all eaten.
Ino and Sakura also begin helping the Konoha Ninja evacuate the general public.
Ban looked around.
"We don't care about this place?"
"In spite of."
Zhang Yu stood up.
"Leave the scene to Hashirama and Tobirama."
"The others will be dealt with by Konoha ninjas."
Ban frowned.
"A fight has broken out upstairs."
"What if Orochimaru actually kills Hiruzen Sarutobi if we leave now?"
He doesn't have that chance.
Zhang Yu pointed to the roof.
" Hashirama and Tobirama are lying outside the barrier."
"They can get in anytime if anything unexpected happens."
"Besides, if we all stay here, would Orochimaru dare to continue his attack?"
Ban thought about it and understood.
Orochimaru has already met him.
If he stands outside the barrier, the other party will most likely abandon their plan immediately.
