Inside the barrier.

The four Otonin who were in charge of casting the Four Purple Flame Array barrier endured the burning sensation coming from behind.

Although they could still bear it for a while, they really couldn't stand it anymore.

The four of them stood at the four corners of the barrier to cast the spell, or to put it more directly, they were standing at the edge of the barrier.

Being in this position, they were the most direct victims of the surging heat waves outside the barrier.

"I can't stand it!!!" Ukon (the elder brother of the two-headed monster, the one who usually sleeps) was awakened from his sleep by the burning, because he was facing the barrier wall and was the worst burned.

At this time, Ukon was like a barbecue placed on an iron plate, sweating profusely, smoke coming out of his head, and he was almost crazy.

The other few people were in a similar situation.

But they didn't dare to cancel the barrier and escape. Once they did so, the waves of fire outside that had not stopped for more than ten minutes would burn them directly to ashes.

Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen also gradually stopped fighting because of the external changes.

The two were in the center of the barrier, and their situation was better than the Sound Four, but at this moment, their faces were flushed with heat, and they were constantly breathing heavily.

"Naruto-kun, it's amazing that you can come up with this idea." Orochimaru looked back at Naruto's shadow clone that was spewing flames outside the barrier, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

"Naruto, has he grown to such a level without knowing it? Group ninjutsu of dozens of people can be performed at will." Sarutobi Hiruzen also had some thoughts in his mind.

Before he could think more, Orochimaru's voice came to his ears.

Orochimaru smiled and said to the third generation: "Teacher, it seems that not all of your subordinates are good-for-nothings. I was going to show you some good things, but forget it if someone comes to mess up."

After that, he said to the Sound Four: "You guys, hold on a little longer."

"Yes!" The four Sound Four answered at the same time.

But one of the four, a female ninja named Tayuya, couldn't help but shout, "Orochimaru, we can hold on for a while, but if that guy outside keeps burning, we can't hold on for long. By then, we'll all be in danger, use your invincible brain to think of a solution!"

Orochimaru's mouth curled up when he heard this: "Don't worry, if he really wants to support the Third Generation, then these fires should stop in a while."

Sure enough, as soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, the waves of flames outside stopped.

The four Otoshi ninjas finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had reached their limit. Once the flames stopped, the four could no longer hold on, and the barrier that lost balance was immediately broken.

"Hokage-sama!" Seeing this, several Anbu immediately jumped in front of the Third Generation to protect him.

The four Otoshi ninjas saw that things were impossible and jumped in front of the backbone Orochimaru.

Orochimaru looked at the Third Generation in the distance, and his signature smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

"Teacher, it seems that you have saved your life."

Anbu team leader: "Orochimaru, you traitor, do you think you can run away?!"

"Hehe!" Orochimaru just sneered. "You still have time to yell at me? Haven't you found out yet?"

"What?" Everyone looked puzzled.

"Ah!"

"I was bitten by a snake!"

"Kudo Washi is actually a clone disguised as a poisonous snake, be careful!"

An Anbu member surrounding the Hokage suddenly turned into countless white snakes.

Hiss!

These white snakes spewed their tongues and bit several people nearby.

Many people were bitten in the neck by poisonous snakes.

This also includes the closest Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After the third generation tore the venomous snake into two pieces, he half-knelt on the ground, holding his bitten neck. He stared at Orochimaru and said, "I was careless. Orochimaru, did you say those words just now to paralyze me, so that I would think you would retreat and neglect your back-up plan?"

"Hehe." Orochimaru sneered again, "It was just a little trick arranged in advance, but I didn't expect it to really fool you. Teacher, you really should retire."

After speaking, Orochimaru glanced at Kidomaru.

Kidomaru understood, and he opened his mouth and shot a golden arrow with a silk thread.

Whoosh!

The arrow shot straight at Sarutobi's forehead.

"Third generation! Be careful!"

The Anbu members around Sarutobi were all bitten by the venomous snake. They were weak and had no power to support.

The Anbu members standing far away could not arrive at this moment, so they could only remind the third generation loudly.

But it was useless.

The powerful Third Hokage seemed to be about to die from this small arrow.

Bang!

Suddenly.

A young man stood in front of the Third Hokage.

He blocked the fatal arrow with lightning speed.

ThirdThe third generation looked up at the person who saved his life, but saw the back of the boy straight and his robe fluttering.

Looking at the golden hair on his head, in a trance, the third generation thought he saw Minato.

But Minato had been dead for many years, and the one who saved him was Minato's son - Uzumaki Naruto!

"It's this hateful kid again!" Kidomaru thought he was going to succeed, but he didn't expect someone to mess up at the last minute, so he couldn't help but curse.

Naruto heard it, but he didn't take this four-handed monster seriously at all.

He protected the third generation behind him and stared at Orochimaru.

The latter hurriedly dragged Tayuya in front of him to block his view.

This guy was still as cautious as ever, afraid of Naruto's Kotoamatsukami.

Naruto knew it well, but he didn't care about this little detail.

The young man smiled wildly and said to Orochimaru and others: "I will not let the important Third Generation die in the hands of you! Now, either get out or die!"

"Hehe."

Orochimaru smiled intriguingly when he heard this.

Don't let the Third Generation die in my hands?

Is Naruto hinting at something?

Forget it, the goal has been basically achieved anyway. The Third Generation old man has also been poisoned by me. Whether he can survive is another matter. In this way, the deal between me and that person is completed. There is nothing to stay.

So, Orochimaru jumped off the main stand with the four Sound Ninjas without looking back. Soon, everyone disappeared.

Although the Anbu wanted to chase him, the Third Generation fell to the ground with his eyes closed. They could only send him to a safe place first and then talk about other things.

...

In a blink of an eye, a day and a night passed.

The farce of the Sand Ninja Village and the Sound Ninja Village invading Konoha finally ended.

All the intruding Otonin were wiped out, and the Sand Village retreated directly after seeing that it was impossible to do anything.

Not long after, the body of the Fourth Kazekage Rosa was found dead in the wild.

After a joint investigation by the Sand Village and Konoha, it was determined that the murderer was Orochimaru, so the two sides reconciled.

In this incident, Konoha, as the victim, lost more than the Sand Village.

Not to mention the death of the Kazekage, the One-Tailed Gaara also disappeared after this battle.

No one knows his whereabouts.

The Sand Village sent people to search everywhere, and finally found some clues.

It is said that an eyewitness of the Sand Village search team said that he saw Gaara being carried on the shoulders of a guy wearing a black robe and a shit-yellow curly mask on his face. He wanted to chase him, but the man disappeared immediately, taking Gaara with him.

After that, the clues were completely interrupted.

The Sand Village searched for a month but couldn't find it, and finally had to give up.

As a result, Gaara's whereabouts became a complete mystery.

Three days after the destruction of Konoha, Jiraiya, who had been tracking Orochimaru in vain, returned to Konoha.

At this time, he came to the Konoha Hospital to visit his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been in a coma for many days.

Two consultants of Konoha's senior management, Mizuto Kado En and Utane Koharu, were also here.

Mizuto Kado En: "Jiraiya, you also heard what the medical team said. Sarutobi was poisoned and his physical condition is not optimistic. Although he can sometimes eat and talk with a clear mind, it is expected that he will not live more than a month. Although it may not be the right time to say it now, the village is indeed in urgent need of a new Hokage. After thinking about it, we think you are the most suitable. I have discussed it with Elder Koharu and submitted documents to the Daimyo. I believe that with your reputation and qualifications, the Daimyo will not have any objections, so..."

Jiraiya reached out to stop Mizuto Kado En's words.

"It sounds like I have no choice but to do it."

"You agree?"

Mitomon En's face flashed with joy when he heard this. He thought that the free-spirited Jiraiya would not be so easy to talk to, but he didn't expect him to be so straightforward this time.

Originally, the best candidate they considered was Danzo, but that guy left the village for seven or eight days and did not show up. The two of them were very dissatisfied with this.

It just so happened that Jiraiya returned, so it was just right for him to be the fifth generation Hokage.

Now he himself has agreed, and there is no better news for Konoha at this time.

But before he could be happy for long, Jiraiya choked him with another sentence.

Jiraiya: "Although I have no choice but to do it, but... I refuse!"
