Chapter 68 Shocking Change
Chapter 68 Shocking Change
Nara family.
As the brains and strategists of Konoha, they belong to a family with exceptional intelligence.
They were responsible for a large amount of medical supplies in Konoha, and they never competed or fought for anything, always maintaining their position in Konoha by being prudent and self-protective.
Konoha was already in some chaos, but Nara Shikaku and Nara Shikaga were still at home playing chess and drinking tea.
Shikaku is still young and has not yet taken the position of clan leader.
The clan leader is Nara Shikaga, who lives across the street. He is Shikaku's uncle.
Shika's hairstyle is exactly the same as Shika's, except that his hair is already gray and he has a lot of wrinkles on his face.
He was a contemporary of the Third Hokage and had always been cautious in his dealings with others. He had been watching closely the power struggle between the Third Hokage and the Uchiha clan.
"Snapped."
Lu He placed a point on the chessboard and captured Lu Jiu's "Jade".
"Just play chess, why are your thoughts so scattered?"
Lu He calmly reprimanded him.
Lu Jiu is only in his early twenties now, and he is not as mature as he will be ten years from now. He bowed his head and apologized.
"My uncle is right."
"Aren't we leaving now?"
Shikaga took a sip of his tea and said, "The Third Hokage has been Hokage for far too long."
"It's normal to seek personal gain for one's own family, but if the information from the Hyuga clan is true..."
"The Sarutobi family has quite a lot of ambition."
"The Uchiha clan produced some clever people; they schemed to kill the Third Hokage step by step."
As Shikaku tidied up the shogi pieces, he said:
"The Sarutobi clan has a greater than 90% chance of having over a thousand combat personnel."
Lu He shook his head: "Perfect."
Upon hearing the number, Shikaku paused for a moment, then continued setting up the shogi pieces: "Uncle, let's play one more game."
……
Meanwhile, the other major clans in the village, although they had also prepared personnel, mostly remained inactive.
At most, they would set up a guard around their own territory; everyone was just watching.
After all, the Hyuga clan has allied themselves with the Uchiha, which means that this matter is most likely true.
With the Hyuga and Uchiha clans being persecuted by Konoha's higher-ups, trust in them has plummeted.
Even if these bounty hunters are in danger, the damage they can cause is not significant.
If the sky falls over Konoha, the Third Hokage or the Uchiha clan will hold it up.
Neither the Root members nor the private soldiers of the Konoha high command moved; they wouldn't send their own clansmen to their deaths.
A chaotic battle has broken out near Danzo's Root headquarters, and the Third Hokage has also organized the Anbu to fight there.
Although not all bounty hunters are experts, they are all cunning and slippery.
Moreover, their ninjutsu techniques are all strange and unusual.
However, most of them fought independently, and among them, Xiao Nan was the strongest fighter.
Because Xiaonan has air superiority.
Flying in the sky like a Kirov airship, it continuously dropped explosive tags downwards.
The loudest roar in Konoha Village came from Konan.
The other bounty hunters weren't stupid either, and they followed Konan's lead.
Jiraiya was stunned when he arrived and saw Konan.
"Xiao Nan!? You're still alive!?"
"Jiraiya-sensei?"
Xiao Nan's wing flapping speed slowed down, even though she had prepared herself mentally beforehand.
However, upon seeing Jiraiya, Konan's expression remained somewhat complicated.
Why did you attack Konoha?!
Jiraiya never expected that the one leading the attack would be his disciple, whom he thought was dead.
A fierce look appeared on Konan's face: "Of course, it's to avenge Yahiko and Nagato!"
Jiraiya was startled: "What's going on!? Why?"
"Yahiko and Nagato were both killed by Danzo!"
"Danzo!? Damn it!"
Jiraiya's face darkened. His student had actually been killed by that scoundrel Danzo!
"Teacher, I'm here today to kill Danzo. If you still care about our past relationship, please don't stop me."
Jiraiya's expression was uncertain; he definitely didn't want to get involved with Danzo.
However, as the guardians of the village, they could not allow outsiders to come directly to Konoha and kill people.
"Jiraiya!" came the deep voice of the Third Hokage.
A person slowly approached: "What are you doing?!"
"If everyone can kill people from Konoha at will, what will become of Konoha's reputation?"
Jiraiya's expression changed, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. He was not only the teacher of Konan and the other two.
He is also one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, and he cannot show favoritism.
Jiraiya blocked Konan's path: "Konan, we'll talk about Yahiko and Nagato's feud later."
"But not today!"
Konan seemed to have anticipated Jiraiya's decision, but she gave him a disappointed look.
"Jiraiya-sensei, you'll regret this!"
Konan left these last words for Jiraiya.
"Third Hokage, hand over Danzo! Otherwise, I won't be polite!"
Konan was followed by a large number of bounty hunters, who served as the face of Konoha at this time.
Hiruzen Sarutobi certainly couldn't back down:
"Impossible! Danzo is a member of Konoha. Even if he has problems, only Konoha can judge him."
"You people, no matter what your purpose was in coming to Konoha, are now invaders."
"None of you are leaving today!"
With a wave of his hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi sent countless signal flares soaring into the sky.
A large number of people immediately appeared beside the collapsed walls of Konoha and blocked the breach.
Here, a large number of people began to appear: about two hundred members of the Dark Guard and about three hundred members of the Sarutobi clan.
They started to surround Xiao Nan.
Konan sneered, "Jiraiya-sensei, I told you, you'll regret this!"
She held a hand seal, circulating chakra.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!
Countless violent explosions rang out behind Konoha.
The entire Hidden Leaf Village was shaken as if by a massive earthquake, with deafening roars echoing throughout!
A burst of flames and smoke shot into the sky!
Most importantly, a huge explosion also occurred at the Hokage Rock, which everyone could see!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Hokage Rock of the Third Hokage was blown apart amidst a series of explosions.
The massive Hokage Rock, to everyone's astonishment, broke into several pieces and crashed to the ground.
"Xiao Nan, you...?"
Before Jiraiya could even react, explosions began to erupt in the old neighborhood near the Hokage Rock!
The continuous barrage of exploding tags made Konoha feel like it was entering the apocalypse.
Even in the darkness of night, the air was thick with the smoke of battle.
The Third Hokage's face was ashen; the place where the explosion had just occurred was where his Sarutobi clan was stationed!
He stared at Konan with a grim expression, his chakra surging within him!
He quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
A massive flame erupted from the Third Hokage's mouth!
The target was Konan in the sky, and Jiraiya's expression tightened.
Xiao Nan exploded into a shower of paper in the sky. Although the paper was all set on fire, Xiao Nan had successfully escaped, clearly having been prepared in advance.
When Xiao Nan solidified her form again, she had already flown into the sky.
Just then...
