Evil Uchiha Itsuki

The Third Hokage and the others had never watched the "Naruto" anime.

So!

They had no idea that the Flying Thunder God technique could teleport people.

Not only could one get out of a barrier themselves, but they could also take others out.

So!

When Itsuki left the barrier with the Nine-Tails, they were shocked.

So shocked that they were stunned.

So shocked that cold sweat kept running down their foreheads.

So shocked that their pupils contracted to the extreme.

So shocked that their bodies trembled.

The Flying Thunder God technique was known by only three people.

Tobirama Senju, Minato Namikaze, and Itsuki Uchiha!

These three wouldn't specifically run in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi to tell him that the Flying Thunder God could pass through barriers.

So!

The Four Red Yang Formation couldn't trap a Flying Thunder God user!

So!

Surprise!

Hiruzen Sarutobi reacted quickly, turning to Orochimaru and shouting, "Quick, have the jinchuriki pull back the Nine-Tails, hurry!"

Screw you!

Orochimaru almost cursed out loud.

Did he look like he owned the Nine-Tails?

You think you can just release it and take it back as you please?

He admitted it; he wasn't capable of that!

Letting the Nine-Tails run wild had already drained much of his mental energy, and he simply couldn't do it.

"Roar!!!"

At this moment, the Nine-Tails moved.

It let out a deafening roar, and its powerful aura turned into a gust of wind that blew many people away.

"Aaah!!!"

After a brief stunned silence, the nobles began screaming in terror, fleeing in every direction.

"Everyone!"

Itsuki looked at the people present with a cheerful smile and said, "The performance just now was quite entertaining, wasn't it? Don't you want to be a part of it yourselves?"

"If you don't answer, I'll take it as a yes!"

"Come on, let's all play together!"

Itsuki laughed wildly.

His laughter had a hint of madness.

"Stop it, Itsuki Uchiha!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared.

His expression was one of utter despair.

"Stop? Who do you think you are? You tell me to stop, and I'll just stop?"

Itsuki laughed maniacally.

Today, no one could stop him.

He said so!

Even the Sage of Six Paths wouldn't be able to stop him!

"Roar!"

The Nine-Tails raised a paw and slammed it down hard.

"Boom!"

A corner of the stands was destroyed.

"Good!"

Itsuki laughed and said, "At least fifteen nobles were wiped out. Keep going, little Nine-Tails!"

"Attack!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted, "Everyone, attack together and stop the Nine-Tails!"

Swish!

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's orders, many of the Leaf Village shinobi, though terrified, charged forward.

The Third Hokage turned to the ANBU and ordered, "Go, have people from the other villages help us stop the Nine-Tails."

Even Orochimaru and Jiraiya, heavy-hearted as they were, couldn't help but roll their eyes at that.

Their expressions were strange!

Itsuki was right; who did Sarutobi think he was?

They might dare fight Itsuki.

But to take on the Nine-Tails?

This was a tailed beast—an unstoppable natural disaster!

They'd have to be out of their minds!

Which of the five great ninja villages hadn't experienced the devastation of a tailed beast?

Which of them hadn't suffered significant losses because of one?

Risking their lives for another village? You'd have to be crazy to do that.

Their Kage would probably chew them out from start to finish!

Sure enough!

Upon receiving the signal from the ANBU, the shinobi from other villages, hiding in the shadows, didn't even blink.

In fact!

Many shinobi from other villages began to retreat.

Moreover!

Their eyes darted around, holding a trace of malice.

Their true purpose... was to deal with Itsuki Uchiha!

However!

With the Nine-Tails now in play, could they still deal with Itsuki?

At the very least, the Leaf, busy saving itself, wouldn't offer much help.

In that case, they couldn't just leave empty-handed, right?

Konoha right now was... quite vulnerable...

"Boom!!!"

At that moment, a loud explosion echoed.

Something had exploded!

Hiruzen and the others instinctively turned their heads and saw that the explosion was at the Hokage Building.

Thick smoke rose, bringing another wave of despair!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Shouts filled the air.

"Lord Hokage!"

An ANBU hurriedly rushed over, shouting, "The Sand Village is attacking the village!"

"What did you say?"

The Third Hokage screamed.

At that moment, it was as if he underwent a transformation, his voice turning sharp.

Orochimaru's heart sank as well.

He understood.

Things had completely spiraled out of control.

"Heh, heh, sensei, are you surprised? Are you confused?"

Itsuki suddenly looked at Orochimaru with a grin and said, "Originally, you were supposed to give the signal for the Sand Village to attack Konoha. Why are they acting on their own?"

Swish!

Several pairs of eyes turned to Orochimaru simultaneously.

There was a strong sense of suspicion in their gaze.

Orochimaru didn't bother to hide it, ignoring Hiruzen and the others, and said with a chuckle, "Indeed, my original plan was to have the Sand Village cooperate with me in attacking Konoha—this was part of the Konoha Destruction Plan. Itsuki, what did you do?"

Itsuki smiled and said, "Simple. You gave orders to the Sand as the Kazekage. But are you really the Kazekage? No, you're not! And those who left the Sand Village saw it clearly."

"So what about their Kazekage?"

"The original Kazekage has become one of Konoha's legendary Sannin—Orochimaru. If you were from the Sand, what would you think?"

"Again, where is their Kazekage?"

Itsuki didn't wait for Orochimaru to answer and said directly, "I told them that the Leaf killed the Kazekage and planned to attack the Sand after killing me."

"And they believed you?"

Orochimaru was astonished.

Itsuki laughed, "Sometimes, the old folks can be very useful!"

Swish!

As he spoke, two elderly figures appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing them, someone exclaimed, "Chiyo? Ebizo?"

These two were highly respected advisors in the Sand Village.

Unlike the Leaf.

These two were powerful and had helped the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, rise to power.

Most importantly, they had stepped back immediately after their achievements.

This had earned Rasa's respect.

Usually, Rasa often sought their advice on governing the Sand Village.

When Rasa wasn't present, they could issue orders directly.

Chiyo stared coldly at Hiruzen and the others, gritting her teeth, "Konoha, you're very good at this, killing our Kazekage!"

"Chiyo, don't fall into their trap. This is Uchiha's trick," Hiruzen hastily said. "The Leaf and the Sand are all—"

"Shut up!"

Chiyo roared, "We've already found Rasa's body, so stop lying. It was your Leaf that did it."

Hiruzen opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

He knew Orochimaru had impersonated Rasa.

As for Rasa's fate, Hiruzen hadn't asked, but he had his suspicions.

Orochimaru had joined forces with him to take down Itsuki Uchiha.

There was no way to explain this.

Resolving himself!

Hiruzen gritted his teeth, "Chiyo, does your Sand really intend to go to war with Konoha?"

"Of course!"

Itsuki laughed and said, "The Leaf is too powerful, and today is the perfect opportunity to attack. Everyone!"

He raised his voice so that nearly half of Konoha could hear him.

"All of you from the great ninja villages—this is such a great chance, what are you waiting for? Attack while they're weak!"

"Do you really want to watch as the Leaf reseals the Nine-Tails and remains the number one ninja village?"

"Now is the best opportunity to destroy Konoha!"

"Shut up, Itsuki Uchiha!"

Hiruzen was on the verge of breaking down.

He could imagine what kind of reaction Itsuki Uchiha's words would provoke.
