Naruto: I didn't say this is the real Hokage.

“Kill these men, and I’ll ensure that you and your daughter leave Konoha safely;

Or...you can just turn around and leave with them right now.

Don't worry, no one will stop you.

But afterwards... you should soon receive Temari's head from me when you return to the Sand Village."

It seemed like God was playing a big joke on Luo Sha.

The last second, he was still secretly swearing in his heart that he would save his daughter's life no matter what the cost.

He didn't expect that the next moment, the opportunity to save Temari's life would be laid out so nakedly in front of him;

However, the price he paid was that Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, would betray the beliefs he had upheld for most of his life.

"…Do you know who you are talking to?"

Luo Sha's expression changed several times, and his dry lips moved several times before he numbly uttered these words.

"You know, the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village~

Anyway, I have already given you the chance to get Temari back. It is up to you to decide what to do.

I hope you can make a decision quickly, after all, you don’t have much time to think about it.”

There is indeed not much time left for Rasa to make a decision, because the Sand Village ninjas led by Rasa will arrive here soon.

The moment he faced his former subordinates was also the time when Luo Sha had to choose between these two options.

Kazekage? His subordinates? The Hidden Sand Village?!

Or...give up everything he had and leave Konoha with Temari, and then suffer the endless pursuit of the Sand Village to which he had devoted most of his life...

Everything depends on Luo Sha’s choice.

……

Meanwhile, off the field.

The powerful chakra fluctuations erupting from all directions at all times, and the various super-powerful ninjutsu flying all over the sky made the Konoha Village at this moment seem like it had traveled through a tragic battlefield somewhere.

Anyone who does not know the truth and sees this situation will definitely think that the Sand Village ninjas who broke into the village are fighting fiercely with the Konoha ninjas.

However, the truth of the matter is...

The ninjas of the Sand Village walked in the streets of Konoha with swagger. No ninja from Konoha tried to stop them. Instead, they smiled and lined the streets on both sides to welcome their arrival.

Whenever a ninja from the Sand Village passed by, the ninjas of Konoha would symbolically raise their hands and release a powerful ninjutsu into the sky;

The ninjas of the Sand Village would then, as if returning the favor, launch a ninjutsu into the sky that was just as powerful.

Konoha Ninja: ?乛?乛?~ Are you here, brother?

Ninja from the Sand Village: n_n~Ang~Here I come!

The scene was so harmonious that it was almost weird.

However, as long as I think about the reason why the two sides can get along so well and cooperate so tacitly, it turns out that they are working together to put on a good show for the Fourth Kazekage Rasa...

Well, it’s even weirder when you think about it this way.

Under the friendly guidance of the Konoha ninja, it didn't take long for Old Sand to lead the ninjas of the Sand Village directly to the venue of the Chunin Selection Examination.

Gaara came out of the venue early and waited quietly for their arrival.

"teacher."

"Huh~

It's Gaara, we haven't seen each other for a long time. "

Lao Sha opened his mouth and spit out a large cloud of smoke, looking at Gaara standing in front of him... Lao Sha seemed very conflicted.

To be honest, Lao Sha still cares a lot about Gaara, his disciple.

Although when Lao Sha accepted Gaara as his apprentice, he was not willing;

But during the brief time they spent together later, an inexplicable bond developed between Crocodile and Gaara.

The master and his apprentice haven't seen each other for many years, and now as soon as they meet, they want to mess with their apprentice's father...

At this moment, Lao Sha felt as embarrassed as if he had taken his newly-supported mistress out to the movies but was caught in the act by his original wife.

Lao Sha was so embarrassed that even he didn't know what to say next.

"Hoo~ Gaara, I..."

"Teacher, my brother asked me to wait for you here and tell you that everything is going according to plan."

"So, Luo Sha..."

"As long as you can hold your breath, it's fine. Teacher, just go ahead and do it boldly."

Lao Sha: (ー ー゛)...

Lao Sha vaguely remembered that he seemed to want to speak to comfort his apprentice just now.

But now it seems that Gaara doesn't need this kind of thing at all, what should I do? !

Ugh……

This silly apprentice... sometimes he is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

“Big brother said that we won’t take action later.

There are no more than three people in the entire Konoha who can defeat the teacher. Teacher, just show your skills and demonstrate your bravery in front of everyone."

“Huh… I understand.”

Lao Sha exhaled a puff of smoke, threw away the burnt cigar, then took a deep breath, held his head high and strode into the venue with the ninjas of the Sand Village.

The stage has already been set, and now it's time for him, Crocodile, the next Kazekage of the Sand Village, to perform!

……

Everything that has happened so far has developed in an orderly manner according to the script that Naruto had written long ago.

In fact, no matter what choice Luo Sha makes in the end, it cannot change the final result.

If Rasa chooses to give up Temari and lead the ninjas of Sand Village to evacuate, then the shameless Naruto will immediately bring everyone in to forcefully suppress them, and then Rasa will stage a bloody battle to lead the ninjas of Sand Village to fight their way out of Konoha and return to Sand Village;

If Rasa chooses to kill the ninjas of Sand Village in order to rescue Temari, then he can let Rasa stand on the victim's side and scold Rasa, and then defeat him with thunder and lightning.

After returning to the Sand Village, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa openly betrayed the village. The hero Crocodile, who defeated the traitor and brought all the Sand Village ninjas back safely, successfully took over as the Fifth Kazekage...

Everything just fell into place.

It can be said that from the moment Rasa stepped into Konoha, he was destined to never return to the Sand Village, nor could he serve as the Kazekage of the Sand Village again.

It’s a pity that the person involved, Luo Sha, still doesn’t know about these things.

……

He beat Kankuro angrily, pulled Luo Sha off his horse, and pushed Lao Sha to ascend...

It can be said that Naruto had calculated everything, but there was only one thing he hadn't calculated.

That is the opponent Lao Sha chose for himself.

As mentioned before, Naruto believes that there are no more than three people in Konoha today who can defeat Crocodile.

Two of these three people are the Fifth Hokage and Naruto's future father-in-law, Hyuga Hiashi, and Hyuga Neji, who was severely strengthened by Naruto.

These two people more or less know Naruto's plan, and even if they are facing Crocodile, they will not really kill him.

But there is only one person that Crocodile can't beat...this guy really knows nothing about Naruto's plan, and he can really kill Crocodile!

So when Naruto saw Crocodile rushing straight towards that guy as soon as he entered the scene...

Naruto panicked. He couldn't help but wonder if Crocodile had lived enough in the ninja world.

But before he could say anything to stop it, he heard...

"Desert sword!"

"Grandma Li, knock on the door, open it!!!"

"Hirutora!"

boom! ! !

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the future Fifth Kazekage Crocodile directly... exploded in mid-air!
