Chapter 376: Impure World Reincarnation

After a two-hour rest, Gaara and Naruto entered the ring.

The names Gaara and Naruto were familiar to the audience present.

Naruto is a popular figure in the Konoha Ninja Village. He is extremely popular among the Konoha villagers. In the previous arena competition, Naruto also showed extremely strong strength and is one of the championship candidates.

The same is true for Gaara. In his battle with Xiao Li, he showed strength far beyond that of ordinary ninjas.

Ninjas with a little vision know that the strength of these two people is far more than genin. This chunin exam is nominally a chunin exam, but it is actually a group of future jounin competing against each other.

Ordinary audiences don't care about the level of ninjas. They only care about whether the ninjutsu and physical skills are gorgeous enough and worth the price of admission. They like fist-in-hand performances and fancy ninjutsu.

After entering the ring, Gaara and Naruto looked at each other and entered a state of preparation for battle.

Because they had fought against each other on the streets of Konoha and in the Forest of Death, the two of them had a certain understanding of each other's strength, and knew that the other was the kind of enemy that needed to be dealt with with all their strength, otherwise there would be a risk of failure.

Following the referee's order, Gaara and Naruto launched an attack.

Naruto's attack method was the shadow clone technique. After forming seals with his hands, dozens of shadow clones appeared on the ring. The dense shadow clones almost filled the entire ring, and they all rushed towards Gaara.

Gaara frowned. He couldn't sense ninjutsu and couldn't distinguish between his true body and his clone.

In this case, we can only use Sand Release to destroy all the shadow clones. Anyway, Sand Release is a large-scale ninjutsu.

After making up his mind, the flying sand in mid-air suddenly accelerated and formed a sandstorm.

Swept by the sandstorm, the shadow clone turned into white smoke and disappeared in place, unable to have any impact on Gaara.

At this moment, Gaara had a feeling like a light on his back.

After subconsciously condensing the sand armor for defense, there was a whirling sound above his head, and the Rasengan, which was the size of a basketball, hit Gaara's head directly.

The Rasengan is so powerful that it can crack mountains and crack rocks.

After quickly breaking through the defense of the sand armor, he soon encountered Gaara's body. If Gaara hadn't mobilized the quicksand in other places for defense, Gaara would probably have been injured.

After using the force of the impact to distance himself, Gaara stared closely at Naruto in the distance.

After seeing the destructive power of the Rasengan, he decided not to take the initiative. The advantage of Sand Release lies in defense and sealing, so there was no need for him to take the initiative to attack.

Naruto did not take action rashly, but was looking for Gaara's flaws.

His chakra is still very rich, but he can't find Gaara's weakness, and he can't always use the Rasengan. The Rasengan is an A-level ninjutsu, and it is not difficult to learn.

For the jounin in the village, it is not difficult to learn the Rasengan.

But apart from the Fourth Hokage, the only ninja who actually uses the Rasengan is Jiraiya. The reason is very simple.

Although the Rasengan is simple and crude, it also comes with a corresponding price.

In addition to consuming a lot of chakra, the Rasengan also puts a huge burden on the user's arms. Even with Naruto's physical fitness, he cannot use it multiple times in a short period of time.

After entering the confrontation, the Konoha sealing team who maintained the barrier breathed a sigh of relief.

The scale of the battle between Gaara and Naruto exceeded their imagination, and it was a difficult task for them to keep the barrier from collapsing.

After a few minutes of testing, Gaara and Naruto were fighting again.

This time, the two stopped testing and began to attack with all their strength, intending to take down their opponents and win this game.

As the battle between the two became more intense, they gradually relaxed their vigilance and began to use the power of Shukaku and Nine Lamas.

After feeling the tailed beast chakra filling the air, the Third Hokage frowned, having an ominous premonition in his heart.

When Gaara and Naruto fight, why do they use the power of the tailed beast?

Is this also part of Orochimaru's plan? Fortunately, he was fully prepared, and all he had to do was wait for Orochimaru to take action.

…

On the stage, Rasa and Orochimaru, disguised as spectators, looked at each other and nodded. After half a month of preparation, it was time to start the Konoha Collapse Plan.

After sending his subordinates to defeat the Konoha sealing squad that maintained the barrier.

The sound ninja troops launched an attack from outside the village, and saw large snakes channeled from the Ryūchi Cave using violence to blast open the city wall and rush to the streets of Konoha.

The huge sound instantly attracted the attention of the Konoha ninja.

Soon, an ANBU ninja found the Third Hokage and said quickly: "Sir, the village was attacked by unknown ninjas. Judging from their forehead protectors, they should be ninjas from the Sound Ninja Village."

The Third Hokage glanced at the ANBU ninja and said calmly: "Is Jiraiya and Konoha's defense too supportive?"

"Konoha's defense force and Lord Jiraiya have rushed over to provide support as soon as possible..." The ANBU ninja paused, and then asked: "Does Lord Hokage have any other instructions?"

The Third Hokage shook his head and said: "You can go down temporarily... I have my own plans."

After sending away the ANBU ninjas, the Third Hokage looked at Byakuya and Scorpion beside him, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, you two. Konoha was attacked by the Sound Ninja Village. I will probably not be able to accompany you two. I will wait until I arrive." After the attackers are gone, I will come back to accompany you two."

Bai Ye frowned and asked, "Hokage, the attackers are from the Sound Village. I remember that it was a small ninja village. How dare they attack Konoha?"

The Third Hokage smiled bitterly:

"From the current information, the founder of the Sound Village is probably my traitor Orochimaru. He attacked Konoha this time to avenge me."

"I see..."

Bai Ye nodded, then said, "Do you need my help? Although I don't want to attack ninjas other than the masked man, Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village have a close relationship... It's not that I don't want to attack them. Can make an exception. "

The Third Hokage shook his head and said: "I appreciate Lord Bai Ye's kindness, but we don't need the help of the Hidden Rain Village to deal with a traitor. Konoha will handle this attack."

In contrast, Scorpion's attitude was much colder. He looked at the Third Hokage and said coldly:

"Lord Third Hokage, I think you'd better be careful. Orochimaru's plan is not that simple. The attack on the ninja in Konoha City may be just a feint. The real killer has not yet appeared."

Before the voice fell, Orochimaru and Rasa in the audience took action.

The two turned into a residual image and appeared behind Gaara and Naruto. Rasa cast an illusion on Gaara, causing Gaara to lose control of his body, and Shukaku regained the dominant position.

Orochimaru appeared behind Naruto and destroyed the seal on Naruto.

After a few breaths, Gaara's body swelled violently, and his whole body was wrapped in the chakra of the tailed beast. He entered the state of tailed beast transformation and gradually turned into a behemoth several dozen meters high.

Faced with such a huge monster, all the ninjas present were frightened and wanted to flee.

At this time, a leisurely flute sounded, accompanied by the illusion in the sound waves, and these ordinary people who were not even ninjas fell into a deep sleep.

The remaining ninjas changed their faces when they saw this scene, and they did not care about resisting Orochimaru, but began to divert the audience.

After completing all this, Luosha and Orochimaru came to the third generation of Hokage.

While the third generation of Hokage gave orders to his subordinates to evacuate the audience, he looked at Orochimaru and Luosha not far away. He was naturally familiar with Orochimaru's figure, but he did not recognize the other person.

Orochimaru slowly took off his hat, revealing a delicate little face, and said with a smile: "Third-generation teacher, long time no see, do you like the gift I prepared for you?"

"Orochimaru!" The third-generation Hokage gritted his teeth and said, then found that there was something wrong with Orochimaru's appearance, and said in shock: "What's wrong with your appearance? Did you use that forbidden technique?"

Orochimaru nodded, and then said: "The technique of the second-generation master is indeed good. I have gotten rid of my previous weak body and achieved the immortality of the soul."

"I wonder if the third-generation teacher is interested in working with me to replace this old body . "

"I have no interest in this evil ninjutsu. Ninjas should accept birth, aging, sickness and death, instead of doing whatever it takes for youth and immortality."

After a moment of hesitation, the Third Hokage continued, "The thing I regret most is that I didn't kill you completely at the beginning. It was my soft-heartedness that led to the big mistake today."

"And now I will make up for this mistake myself."

Orochimaru's face changed, and he said with a fake smile, "Teacher means that you can beat me to death at any time, but can your old body really do it?"

Before he finished speaking, Orochimaru took out the Kusanagi sword and stabbed the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage took off his divine robe directly, revealing a ninja suit. He had been ready for the battle and had been waiting for Orochimaru to make a move.

When the third generation fought with Orochimaru, Scorpion looked at Luosha and said expressionlessly:

"Luosha, you still came here. I knew you would attack when I left the village. I didn't expect that you didn't attack the village, but joined forces with Orochimaru to attack Konoha."

As Luosha approached Scorpion, he said, "I thought about attacking the village, but if you don't solve it, even if I take back the village, I'm afraid I can't be the Wind Shadow."

"Only if I kill you here can I become the Wind Shadow again."

"Then let's see if you have the ability..." As he said that, Scorpion took out the spiritual scroll, and as the white smoke dissipated, dozens of puppets appeared in the open space.

Luosha snorted coldly, and then said, "Hundred Machines? Unfortunately, puppetry is ineffective in front of magnetic escape. I'll let you know the taste of death."

After that, the two disappeared instantly and randomly found a place to start a life-and-death battle.

Both of them are Bai Ye's subordinates, and this battle is just an exercise in Bai Ye's plan, but both of them want to take the opportunity to kill each other and prove that they are right.

Looking at the three generations of Hokage and Orochimaru, Rasa and Scorpion who have already started fighting in the distance.

Bai Ye feels that he is being left alone and ignored. He is obviously the strongest ninja here, why no one cares about him, which makes him very embarrassed.

After sighing softly, Bai Ye shifted his sight and his eyes fell on Shukaku.

Being stared at by Bai Ye, Shukaku felt like a thorn in his back. After discovering Bai Ye's figure, Shukaku was directly shocked, and then grabbed Naruto on the ground, threw him into the Death Forest, and followed him.

It just wanted to take this opportunity to compete with Kurama, and didn't want to fight with Bai Ye.

Although it had never seen Bai Ye take action, its intuition told it that this person was not easy to deal with. If it really fought with the other party, it would probably die miserably.

After Shukaku glanced at him and ran away, Byakuya became even more at a loss.

After looking around, Byakuya activated the teleportation technique, came to the Third Hokage, and said: "Hokage-sama, I'm here to help."

The Third Hokage, who had been rude just now, had not been able to take down Orochimaru after several rounds.

Accepting the fact that he was old, his physical strength and chakra were no longer at their peak, and his actual combat experience had declined a lot due to a long period of not fighting.

Although he can still suppress Orochimaru now, he cannot defeat Orochimaru.

He looked at Byakuya and said quickly: "Byakuya, let's take down Orochimaru together. After the event is completed, Konoha will provide a commission fee."

After seeing Byakuya's figure, Orochimaru was also startled, and then sneered and said: "Byakuya-sama, this is a matter between me and Konoha. There should be no need for Amegakure Village to interfere."

Byakuya looked at Orochimaru and said, "I really have no interest in intervening in the master-disciple battle between you, but the Third Generation Master said he would pay a lot of money."

Orochimaru stared at Byakuya and said: "Byakuya, I can still pay a lot of money. If you don't consider joining me, the relationship between Konoha and Amegakure Village is very good now, but that may not be the case in the future."

"I heard that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is very dissatisfied with the Hidden Rain Village and is ready to take action at any time."

Hearing this, the Third Hokage became nervous and looked at Byakuya and Orochimaru anxiously. If Byakuya really changed sides in battle, he really wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Byakuya's reputation has become too great these years, and he has a tendency to be the strongest in the ninja world.

He was confident of defeating Orochimaru. If not, he could still die with Orochimaru, but that would be fine if he added Byakuya, who was a perfect ninja with no shortcomings.

Byakuya slowly said: "Lord Orochimaru, your proposal is very tempting, but please allow me to refuse. I am not very interested in money, and money cannot buy me."

The actual reason is simpler. A considerable part of Orochimaru's funds were provided by the Akatsuki organization.

To round things off, Orochimaru used his money to bribe him. This situation cannot happen even in acting, it is too ridiculous.

Orochimaru sighed, and then said: "It's really a pity, Lord Byakuya. Then I can only ask you to go to the Pure Land with the teacher. I obviously want to play with the teacher for a while longer."

Before he finished speaking, Orochimaru clasped his hands together, and three coffins appeared behind him.
