Soon, in a corner of the hall, Kaoru found the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage was surrounded by his own Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall, but the earth wall was already broken, and the Third Hokage was in a state of unconsciousness.
"Did he faint from using too much chakra?" Kaoru checked the Third Hokage's condition and found that the Third Hokage had only consumed too much chakra, and coupled with the shock of the aftermath of his two S-rank ninjutsu, he had temporarily fainted.
But this was also good, he would have time to let Orochimaru go, he just hoped that the Anbu and Kakashi and the others outside would not rush in so early.
Kaoru didn't know that because of the impact of his two major moves, Kakashi and the others were still busy protecting the audience and fighting the Sand and Sound ninjas, and had no time to take care of Kaoru's side at all.
After confirming that there was no problem with the Third Hokage, Kaoru began to slowly search for Orochimaru's whereabouts in the hall.
Searching in the room full of rubble, Kaoru quickly found Orochimaru's hiding place.
Under a huge rock, there was one of the Eight-Headed Serpent's heads. Although the snake's head had been smashed in half, this snake's head was still the most well-preserved compared to the other seven.
Therefore, Orochimaru could only be hiding inside this snake's head, and could not be in other places.
"Come out, Orochimaru!" Looking at the snake's head, Kaoru said lightly.
"Damn brat..." After a moment, Orochimaru's body slowly crawled out of the snake's mouth.
At this time, Orochimaru's whole body was paler than before, looking quite weak. The Eight Branches Technique had exhausted all the chakra in his body.
"This is already your strongest move, right, Orochimaru?" Looking at Orochimaru, who seemed unable to stand up, Kaoru said lightly.
"......." The current Orochimaru was silent. His strongest move had been cracked by Kaoru, and his chakra had been exhausted. He didn't know what to do anymore.
He could not defeat Kaoru even if he tried his best. Orochimaru had a sense of despair in his heart. This was a fear of Kaoru from the bottom of his heart!
"Swish, swish, swish!" At this time, four figures appeared in the center of the hall. It was Zabuza and Bai and the other new Sound Four.
"Orochimaru-sama!" Tayuya looked at Orochimaru on the ground and shouted eagerly.
"What do you want to do with me?" Orochimaru looked at Kaoru breathlessly, he knew that with the strength of the Sound Four, they could not do anything to Kaoru.
"I can let you go a second time." Kaoru said with a smile, "But you have to promise me one thing."
"So that's it, you don't kill me again and again because I still have value to you?" Orochimaru sighed and said helplessly.
"That's right, Orochimaru, although your strength is not very good, your research on ninjutsu is quite good, so keeping your life is really useful to me."
Kaoru bluntly stated his purpose. In the face of absolute strength, there is no need to deceive the weak with lies.
"Listening to your tone, you also want to conduct ninjutsu research?" Orochimaru's mouth floated with a smile: "That's really interesting, I wonder what you want to study?"
"I'll talk to you about this later." Kaoru said, "Anyway, you should leave now, if you are caught by other Konoha ninjas, you will be dead."
"In that case, then I will thank you for saving my life twice..." Orochimaru slowly got up with the support of Tayuya and Jirōbō.
"Remember, don't let others know about the deal between us." Kaoru said coldly.
"Of course." Orochimaru nodded, casually removed the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, and then left the dilapidated hall under the leadership of the Sound Four.
"Very good, I have brushed my honor points in front of the Third Hokage, becoming a hero who saved Konoha and saved the Third Hokage, and treated Orochimaru with both kindness and power, while crushing him in strength, while saving his life, so that Orochimaru can truly fear and respect himself."
A sly smile appeared on Kaoru's mouth. What he wanted now was to be able to eat both black and white.
After letting Orochimaru go, Kaoru came to the Third Hokage's side and woke the Third Hokage up. After that, Kakashi and the others also came to the hall.
"What's the situation now, where's Orochimaru?" As soon as the Third Hokage woke up, he immediately shouted for Orochimaru and looked for his whereabouts.
"After I destroyed Orochimaru's Eight Branches Technique, I had very little chakra left, so I could only watch Orochimaru escape." Kaoru said with a very regretful look.
"Is that so......." A look of regret also appeared on the Third Hokage's face, and then the look of regret flashed away and turned into a smile.
His eyes smiled as he looked at Kaoru and slowly opened his mouth: "No matter what, Kaoru, you are the hero who saved me and saved the entire Konoha!"
"This is what I should do, who told me to be a Konoha ninja, I should carry forward the Will of Fire of Konoha." Kaoru smiled, he knew what the Third Hokage wanted to hear now, and immediately said the words Will of Fire.
"Very good, Kaoru, it's best if you can have this kind of awareness!"
The Third Hokage nodded, looking very gratified, then he looked up at Kakashi and asked, "Apart from Orochimaru, how are the other places in Konoha Village?"
"About 100 Sand ninjas and 50 Sound ninjas have invaded Konoha Village. In addition, the Sand ninjas have also summoned a big snake to destroy Konoha Village." Kakashi replied.
"In that case, then we can't continue to stay here!" The Third Hokage coughed and stood up from the ground.
"Let's continue fighting!"
"Okay!" Kaoru and Kakashi and the others nodded at the same time.
........
The battle continued until the evening. In this battle, all the Sand ninjas and Sound ninjas who invaded Konoha were wiped out, and Konoha also lost about 100 ninjas.
Unlike in the original work, the Third Hokage survived with the help of Kaoru, but Konoha Village still suffered a lot of damage, and most of the Konoha ninjas were admitted to the hospital.
Wan'er returned with Naruto and the others not long after. She was also seriously injured and was admitted to the hospital.
At this point, the Konoha Crush battle came to an end everywhere.
After this battle, Konoha still suffered a lot of damage and needed time to restore its national strength and carry out reconstruction work.
On the first day after the war, the entire Konoha had woken up. A breeze blew outside the window, feeling quite cool, and it began to rain.
When Wan'er woke up, she felt quite tired and empty. As soon as she moved her arm, she could still feel the tearing pain.
Kaoru stayed by Wan'er's side, holding Wan'er's hand tightly.
"Brother, have you been staying by my side?" Wan'er barely supported her smile and said to Kaoru.
