Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen vaguely understood why this was happening.

He clearly remembered that Kakashi, the Hokage's assistant, should have been sitting next to him. But as soon as Orochimaru made his move, he left to pursue another target.

And there was Kamikawa Aoba, he even noticed that when all this started, Kamikawa Aoba looked at this side meaningfully, then turned and left.

And the Hyuga clan, no one came. The Uchiha clan, oh yeah, there are no more Uchiha.

He didn't even see Nara Shikaku. His most trusted subordinate was not there at the moment.

All those people he trusted and didn't trust. He even felt that they were watching everything here from the dark. They were waiting for him to die.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know when the situation became like this. He was clearly the Hokage, and he was clearly the ninja hero who led Konoha to victory in the three wars. Why did it become like this?

When did it start?

Did it start with the extermination of the Uchiha clan? No, it should have started earlier. It started with the death of Minato Namikaze.

If it was him, none of this would have happened today. Minato, he is so outstanding. He would have become a good Hokage.

There was also Kushina and Naruto. Now that I think about it, maybe Konoha didn't deserve this family.

It could also be that it started with the death of White Fang. White Fang was a pure ninja. So loyal, so pure.

Then, Orochimaru's defection. He had done so many wrong things, why did I let him go? To sum up, all of this today was caused by my own hands.

And Uchiha, there could have been a better way to solve it. I was really stupid and chose the worst solution.

And Danzo, he did so many wrong things, but I always pretended not to see them.

Now that I think about it, Danzo must have been killed by them. Kakashi, Kamikawa Aoba, and maybe others.

There are also the Uzumaki clan, Hyuga Hizashi... During his brief thought, countless thoughts flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.

In the end, it all turned into a long sigh.

"It turns out that I have done so many wrong things in my life!!!"

Orochimaru on the other side felt the change in his teacher. The original Sarutobi Hiruzen had superb skills, but he did not have the charm of the former ninja hero at all.

But after this brief pause, he suddenly had a feeling. The former ninja hero seemed to be back.

"Ape Demon King, please cooperate with me to put an end to this once and for all."

"Sarutobi you..." The Demon King was about to speak when a huge amount of chakra surged out of Sarutobi Hiruzen's body.

"Orochimaru, I have made many mistakes in my life. Most of them I can no longer make up for. But today, I can at least make up for your mistake.

Look carefully, I am Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage of Konoha. Today I will clean up the mess for Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen formed seals with his hands, and four shadow clones appeared on both sides. This action made Orochimaru's eyelids twitch.

"Stop him quickly." The Impure World Forms of the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage immediately stepped forward.

"Wood Release, the tree world is coming."

"Water Style, Great Waterfall Technique."

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen on the opposite side also completed his technique.

"Ninjutsu, Five Styles, Great Link Technique!"

"How is it possible that at this time, you can still perform this level of ninjutsu."

Orochimaru was shocked. He was not afraid of most of his teacher's ninjutsu, but this move really gave him chills.

The main reason was that at this moment, they were still surrounded by the Four Purple Flame Formation. Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't escape. But he himself couldn't get away easily either.

"Ninja technique, triple Rashomon."

Orochimaru formed seals with both hands, and a huge triple Rashomon rose in front of him. Then, a violent explosion directly shook the entire Four Purple Flame Formation.

Not far away, after Jiraiya defeated a team of Sand Ninjas, he saw a huge explosion on the podium.

"That's right, the old man is risking his life!!"

Seeing that the situation was so serious, Jiraiya did not dare to delay and directly skipped many battlefields and rushed towards the rostrum.

But at this moment, a strange figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Hahahahaha..." The other person laughed wildly while looking Jiraiya up and down.

"Konoha's ninja, you deserve to die!!!"

The other party's crazy words were secondary. What surprised Jiraiya the most was that the man in front of him actually had a pair of Sharingan eyes.

A three-magatama Sharingan? The man in front of me is an Uchiha?

Impossible, the Uchiha clan should have been exterminated. The man in front of him was definitely not Uchiha Itachi.

Jiraiya was surprised. The chakra fluctuations from the other party were so strong that it made him feel a little frightened.

And his hands...

The strange ninja held two human heads in his hand. At first, Jiraiya didn't care. War kills people. There were dead bodies everywhere.

But upon closer inspection, I discovered that the people the other party was holding were Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En.

These two were advisors to the Hokage, the two most powerful figures in Konoha, and yet they were killed without any noise.

Jiraiya actually didn't like these two old guys, but that didn't mean he would watch the two seniors die in front of him.

"You are unforgivable. Ninja technique. The Lion Hair Technique."

Jiraiya's hair suddenly grew and wrapped around Hidan standing opposite him.

"Hmph, Wood Release Tree Wall."

Wood Release defensive ninjutsu blocked the Lion Hair Technique, but Jiraiya's control over ninjutsu was at its peak.

The hair was able to bypass the Wood Release Technique and entangled Hidan behind him. Then the hair shrank and directly cut Hidan into pieces.

"He knows Wood Release! It can't be that simple." Although Jiraiya clearly sensed that he had injured his main body, he couldn't believe it would end so easily.

You know, although the two advisors haven't taken action for many years, they still have the fighting power of a jonin. It's impossible for them to be defeated by people of this strength.

"Behind." Jiraiya turned suddenly. "Fire Style, Great Flame Bomb."

Blazing flames spewed out of his mouth. Coming towards him was Wood Release: Explosive Gun Tree.

The two ninjutsu collided in mid-air, and Jiraiya quickly stepped back, forming seals with his hands.

"Fire Style, Eliminate the Makuhara."

At this time, Hidan was passing through the flames and slashing at Jiraiya. But at this moment, a large amount of flames suddenly burst out from under his feet. This was exactly the effect of the disappearance of the curtain.

"Hmph. Wood Style. Giant Wood Stake Technique." Countless wood stakes rose from the ground, dragging Hidan away from the flames on the ground. But Jiraiya's other technique had already arrived.

"Fire Style. Dragon Fire." Only when you really face Jiraiya, you will understand how well this toad sage uses ninjutsu. His grasp of various opportunities is almost flawless.

But Feidan also has his own advantages.

"Wood Release, Tree World Descends." What he lacks in experience, he makes up for with strength. He highlights the fact that strength can defeat skill.
