Most people were at a loss when the venue suddenly became chaotic, and many did not realize what was happening before they fell into the Genjutsu of Temple of Nirvana. The entire venue was in complete disarray.
While Kimimaro was pressing Gaara in their battle, Gaara out of the stands and into Konoha to continue fighting. Meanwhile, Gaara released more and more One-Tail Chakra, gradually transforming it into its complete form.
After exchanging a glance, Haku and Karin followed.
Until this point, no one had noticed Uya standing at the very top.
Looking at the chaos in Konoha, Uya's face held a strange expression, his eyes flickering slightly. He took a step and arrived at the Chunin Ninja Exams arena, sitting on the third chair that Hiruzen Sarutobi had deliberately set up earlier.
However, by this time, the other two chairs were already empty.
Sitting there, Uya casually glanced at Kakashi and Might Guy, who were fighting against the Sound Ninja and Sand Ninja in the arena. Suddenly, he thought that if Hiruzen Sarutobi had died, perhaps Kakashi would have been the Fifth Hokage.
Jiraiya was clearly not the right person to succeed Jiraiya Hokage, and while Shikaku Nara old and experienced enough, he wasn't the best candidate.
It was only then that Uya realized Sasuke was missing.
"That's interesting. Sasuke isn't in Konoha anymore?"
Although he was looking down at the scene, Uya sensed everything that was happening in Konoha through the Shockwave. After scanning the area, he did not find Sasuke.
At the same time, another thing that puzzled Uya was that he also couldn't find Kabuto.
Kabuto and Sasuke are missing?
This is getting interesting. As Orochimaru's subordinate, Kabuto shouldn't be absent from Konoha at a time like this.
A strange smile curved at the corners of his lips. In an instant, Uya thought of many things, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
Whoosh!!
In the next instant, Uya's figure flashed and disappeared from his seat.
A rooftop in Konoha.
The Four Violet Flames Formation stood tall here, and outside stood Konoha Anbu ninjas. The leader of the Anbu, his eyes peeking out from behind his mask, revealed an expression of deep worry.
"This is a huge problem; we can't get past this barrier at all..."
The Four Violet Flames Formation is a barrier that can trap even Kage Level ninjas. These Anbu Ninja have no way to deal with it unless the four Sound Ninja exhaust their Chakra, at which point the barrier will dissipate on its own.
However, it now seems impossible.
However, at this moment, something astonishing happened to these Anbu Ninja. A figure in white robes flashed and landed in front of the Four Violet Flames Formation Four Violet Flames Formation, then stepped directly into it.
"Etc!!"
Upon seeing this, the Anbu Ninja couldn't help but exclaim in shock. One of his companions had just been caught in the Four Violet Flames Formation and burned to ashes; the marks were still visible there.
The four Sound Ninja who set up the Four Violet Flames Formation all revealed a mocking expression when they saw this scene, as if they could already see this arrogant person being burned to ashes.
But in the next instant, the expressions of the four Sound Ninja suddenly froze, revealing a look of disbelief, while the Anbu Ninja were also shocked!
Because when that figure landed on the Four Violet Flames Formation, nothing happened; that figure simply walked directly into the Four Violet Flames Formation!
The Anbu Ninja were shocked, and only then did they finally recognize Uya's identity, and couldn't help but exclaim in unison.
"It's... Lord Uya!"
To be able to pass through the Four Violet Flames Formation without even noticing it is almost unbelievable, but if the person who did it was Uya, then it seems quite normal.
In many people's eyes, Uya is an existence that transcends even the Shadow.
As for the four Sound Ninja, they did not recognize Uya. When they saw Uya walk in, they were all stunned and their minds trembled violently.
The Four Violet Flames Formation was something they learned from Orochimaru. Even Orochimaru himself would find it difficult to escape from Four Violet Flames Formation!
If Uya had destroyed the Four Violet Flames Formation and then walked in, it would have shocked them, but not to this extent.
Uya seemed to completely ignore the Four Violet Flames Formation. As the ones who set up the Four Violet Flames Formation, all four of them felt that the terrifying aura that Uya exuded when he passed through the Four Violet Flames Formation far exceeded the range that the Four Violet Flames Formation could limit!
There was a qualitative difference between the flame barrier of the Four Violet Flames Formation and the aura emanating from Uya, as if they were worlds apart, incomparable.
"Who is this guy?"
Cold sweat beaded on the foreheads of the four Sound Ninja, who stared intently at Uya, yet dared not move an inch, or rather, were all intimidated by Uya's aura and unable to move.
Within the Four Violet Flames Formation, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was confronting Orochimaru, did not show any joy when he saw Uya enter. Instead, he revealed a complex expression.
" Uya..."
When Hiruzen Sarutobi launched Orochimaru's attack, he knew that Uya would definitely not get involved, and he even understood that Uya probably already knew about it.
Orochimaru might be able to cause a lot of trouble right under his nose, but he would never be able to do anything in front of Uya!
"Hehehe, does Uya- kun also have an interest in Teacher Sarutobi's head and want to do it himself?" Orochimaru looked at Uya as he walked into the Four Violet Flames Formation, revealing a sinister expression.
"No, you guys fight it out, I'm just here to ask you something."
Yu Uya shook his head and asked casually, "When did Sasuke Uchiha disappear? Do you know where he went?"
"About a month ago, as for where Sasuke went, I don't know."
Orochimaru's lips curled into a slight smile as he gestured to Hiruzen Sarutobi beside him, saying, "Instead of asking me, why don't you ask Teacher Sarutobi? He might know more."
"I'm not sure what the specifics are either."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said, " Sasuke disappeared suddenly. I thought it was Orochimaru who did it, but now it seems there's more to it than meets the eye."
Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru's words, Uya gave a thoughtful look, then looked at Orochimaru and asked, "So, do you know where Kabuto is?"
This question elicited a slightly strange expression from Orochimaru. While it was understandable that Uya cared about Sasuke Uchiha, his concern for his subordinate Kabuto was rather odd.
Moreover, some very strange things did happen to Dou.
No, he disappeared several days ago.
Orochimaru shook his head, then a hint of interest flashed in his eyes. He said, "It seems there's more to this than meets the eye. Uya, you seem to know something."
"I can probably guess."
Upon hearing Uya's words, Orochimaru's face showed a slight hint of understanding, but then he shook his head, revealing an expression of indifference.
If nothing unexpected happens, it must be Black Zetsu who's behind this.
"Alright, you can continue."
After casually remarking, Uya took another step, passing through the Four Violet Flames Formation once more, and then vanished completely. (To be continued.)
