"It's finally here."
Naruto got up and left the space.
The flesh and blood clone walked out of the sealed space, nimbly pulled back the covers, and lay down.
The main body, however, went to the restroom.
Seeing this, Nine-Tailed raised a paw and covered its face.
Again.
Who's unlucky this time?
Transformation Technique.
Transform!
The next moment, a slender, gloomy-faced person stood quietly in place.
"Oh, a curse mark, it seems useless against me."
He stuck out his tongue, which resembled a snake's heart, looking eerie and terrifying.
Nine-Tailed: "…"
Orochimaru.
It suddenly felt that all the big shots in the Ninja World were going to be messed with by Naruto.
It suddenly felt fortunate.
Fortunate that it wasn't a Ninja, but a Tailed Beast.
Their ears twitched, and Naruto and Nine-Tailedsimultaneously looked at the roof, then out the window.
"Three Ninja."
"No, there are more hidden."
Naruto shook his head, raised a finger to his lips, and chuckled softly: "And a rat in the gutter."
As expected, it was Zetsu.
Zetsu, this creature, is truly troublesome; he can have clones everywhere, and his hiding ability is incredibly strong.
Such a person is indeed a good hand at gathering intelligence.
"Target Uzumaki Naruto confirmed to be sleeping and snoring."
Through the walkie-talkie, someone whispered: "Uzumaki Naruto currently shows nothing abnormal."
"Restroom."
Someone said in a deep voice: "I saw a figure in the restroom; his Chakra is very vast."
"Most likely a powerful Ninja, be careful."
"Attack!"
"They're here. I want to see who it is!"
Zetsu's gaze fell on the clone; he wanted to see with his own eyes who was playing tricks in Konoha Village.
Click.
A faint sound came.
Under the shocked gazes of several people, Narutopushed the door open.
With a casual flick of his hand, a Rasengan lightly pressed onto the Ninja hiding behind the door.
Bang!
An explosion sounded, and the Ninja in front of him shattered.
Body Replacement Technique.
'Naruto' spread his arms like a great roc, stepped on the railing, and left the apartment in a flash.
"Chase!"
The few people behind him didn't hesitate and followed closely.
"He appeared. Today, I'll see who you really are."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was watching from the shadows, had a cold expression.
He flicked his wrist, grabbed his outer coat, and threw it off, revealing his Ninja attire underneath.
"Today, I'll let you see that I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, am not to be trifled with."
Hokage Rock.
Naruto stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching the Ninja continuously surrounding him.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, this seems to have gotten big."
Nine-Tailed's voice echoed in Naruto's ears: "Don't forget you only have half your strength right now."
Nine-Tailed was horrified.
The impact of this scene vaguely reminded him of the night he was released by Uchiha Obito.
This time wasn't as exaggerated as that one.
Because many were missing.
No one from the Uchiha Clan came, but more or less, a few from the other clans arrived.
Roughly counted, there were almost a hundred Ninja.
This scene was highly impactful.
"He's… Orochimaru."
"How could it be him? How does he know Rasengan?"
"If it's him, then it's not so surprising."
Naruto didn't move, didn't hide.
Everyone saw his face.
It was very gloomy.
This gloominess was very similar to Orochimaru's demeanor, plus the occasional flick of his tongue.
One look and you knew it was Orochimaru.
"Why is it him?"
Zetsu was stunned.
How could Orochimaru appear here?
Not sure, let's see again.
Hiruzen Sarutobi walked from behind, staring coldly at Naruto: "It's you."
"Long time no see."
Naruto chuckled, implying: "Such a grand reception upon meeting again, it's truly my good fortune."
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to execute the Konoha Crush. You are already rotten, and rotten people should die quietly."
Naruto gazed at Hiruzen Sarutobi, his sinister voice echoing above the Hokage Rock.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was expressionless: "You are not Orochimaru, who are you?"
Naruto was startled.
Discovered already?
But it's not a big problem, as long as his main body isn't discovered.
"I'm very curious."
"Why are you hiding in Uzumaki Naruto's room? What is your purpose?"
'Hahaha, you ask too many questions.'
Naruto laughed, his expression stern, his eyes sweeping over them, and he said lightly: "Unfortunately, you are already surrounded by me."
Huh?
Both the Ninja present and those secretly watching were stunned.
Naruto's arrogant words almost made their tongues tie.
Are these the words of a human?
There were hundreds of Ninja here, with more constantly arriving as reinforcements.
You say we're surrounded?
What a joke.
"Clan Head, should we act?"
"Act!"
Uchiha Fugaku, with a few clan members who were loyal to him, was about to step forward silently.
The next moment, Danzo emerged from the shadows, his gaze calmly fixed on them.
"It seems he's the one behind this, otherwise you wouldn't be acting."
"It's a pity, but we still have to fight."
Danzo stared at Uchiha Fugaku: "Perhaps you are strong, but breaking through me will be a bit difficult."
Uchiha Fugaku's face darkened, and he gave Uchiha Shisui a look.
Uchiha Shisui took a step forward, using the Body Flicker Technique.
Danzo did not stop him.
They couldn't stop this person; they would leave him to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
What he needed was to divide the Uchiha Clan.
Perhaps today was an opportunity to weaken the Uchiha's strength.
"Shikaku, aren't we going to act?"
"No need!"
Nara Shikaku was very calm.
He knew Naruto had a backup plan, glanced at Inoichi Yamanaka and Akimichi Choza, and whispered:
"Later, go all out and attack Orochimaru. Be imposing, but hold back."
"We understand."
The two understood.
Ever since they ate the food Nara Shikaku gave them, they had made their choice.
The strengthening of their power, the growth of their clan, the choice of allies.
Three in one.
They weren't stupid.
Isn't it just changing the Hokage?
We agree.
If the person behind this hadn't held back for so long, they wouldn't even know who it was.
They would have to come and put on the Hokagerobe.
And listening to Nara Shikaku, this person wasn't the real mastermind either.
Even Orochimaru had been roped in?
This person behind it was truly powerful.
"Words are useless when minds don't meet, Hiruzen Sarutobi, your title of Ninja Hero is undeserved."
Naruto couldn't be bothered to waste words with these people.
There were enough people.
The stage was set.
It was time to show off a little, to slightly shock the Ninja World.
He formed a hand sign.
Orochimaru's face revealed a brilliant, sinister smile.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Under everyone's shocked gaze, many Orochimaruinstantly appeared from all directions.
A rough estimate put them at least five hundred.
Hiss!
Such a vast amount of Chakra.
Every single Ninja present almost had their eyes pop out.
"Uzumaki Clan!"
This thought flashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.
The next moment,
He saw these Orochimaru slowly raise their hands, and on their hands, a normal Rasengan slowly appeared.
"Not good, attack!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face changed drastically…
