Chapter 172 A Surprise for the Third Hokage

The Otonagakure messenger on the opposite side nodded slightly, took the secret scroll from the Fourth Kazekage, and left the Sand Village.

"Fourth Kazekage, are we really going to attack Konoha?"

"We? Isn't this the mysterious organization Akatsuki that interfered with the Chunin exams, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Third Hokage and Konoha, and accidentally detonated the monster sealed in the body of a Sand Village member? What does this have to do with our Sand Village?"

After hearing this, Maki suddenly realized that this matter really had nothing to do with their Sand Village, and all the responsibility lay with Konoha and the Akatsuki organization.

"So that Temari and Kankuro don't have to wait any longer, and team up with Gaara in this year's Chunin Exams. I will then be in the position of the Kazekage and watch the demise of the allies."

Three years passed, and Konoha became increasingly powerful, which made the allies feel deeply threatened.

Because of this, the Sand Village side is ready to shoot!

"Yes, Lord Kazekage."

At the main gate of the Sand Village, the atmosphere was depressing and the expressions were tense among the teams of Sand Village ninjas on guard.

"Hey, look, that monster is back."

"Damn it, why hasn't that monster died in the mission yet? This cold-blooded guy!"

Not far away, the Sand Village ninja, with murderous intent boiling in his heart, quietly placed his hand on the crossbow of the heavy crossbow, almost unable to suppress the anger in his heart.

"You bastard, it's all your fault that my brother died. Pay for your life!"

"Stop it, you idiot, are you crazy? If you want to die, don't drag us with you, idiot."

The two companions nearby held the man down directly. In the dust blown up by the strong wind, a short figure with red hair slowly approached.

Behind him, a young girl with blond hair tied into two ponytails sighed inwardly. She had seen the same scene countless times and was really tired of it.

Kankuro, who had dark purple paint on his face, twitched at the corners of his mouth. His eyes fell on the young man in front of him, and he felt powerless.

"That's why I hate kids. It's really tiring to team up with this guy who likes to kill people at every turn."

In the end, the patrolling ninjas used up all their life's strength and willpower to pin down those idiots who tried to attack them, and saved their own lives and those of their teammates.

At the gate of the Sand Village, Maki, who had been waiting for a long time, had a serious expression on his face. After seeing several people return, he went straight to the point.

"The Chunin Exams will begin in a few months, and the village has decided to send the three of you as a team. Do not bring shame to the name of Sunagakure."

A hint of impatience and bloodlust flashed across Gaara's blue eyes. His expression was indifferent. After glancing at Maki, he walked away on his own.

"Who cares about you?"

"Hey, wait, Gaara, at least listen to Mr. Maki..."

Kankuro's shouting did not stop Gaara. Temari shook her head helplessly. These two younger brothers really are a cause for concern.

"It doesn't matter. Just remember that this mission is far more than just the Chunin Exam. The opponent is Konoha, so you must not be careless."

Hearing the name of Konoha, the two of them showed serious expressions. How powerful is Konoha now? As an ally, Sand Village knows it clearly.

"Konoha, will the black-clad ninja from before..."

Temari stopped talking halfway, and under Maki's puzzled gaze, she silently took back her thoughts.

"No, it's nothing."

"In short, be fully prepared and be prepared to die in battle."

It was not until these words appeared that Temari and Kankuro's hearts sank and they realized that things were not as simple as they had imagined.

............

Half a month later, in the Otonagakure Village in the Land of Fields.

He changed his clothes and found that his skin was so pale that it was almost sickly white, without a trace of blood.

In just a moment, the curve of the chest turned into a flat surface, and the charming face that should have belonged to a woman revealed a dark and slippery smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Haha, hahahaha! If I meet you with this face, I'm sure you will be very surprised, Sarutobi-sensei, the surprise should be saved for last."

The delicate features concealed the woman's features, and the charming and high-pitched voice changed into the tone of a gloomy middle-aged man as the chakra was adjusted.

With his head of black hair falling naturally, covering one eye, Orochimaru turned and walked away, heading towards the most secret room in the laboratory.

"Although there is no assistant to help, at least the improvement was completed within the deadline. Especially these two, their power when they were alive was too strong. It is difficult to control them without further weakening them."

"If I master the Sage Mode, I might be able to control it, but it's still a matter of physical fitness..."

His black and gold vertical pupils flashed with anticipation, and he couldn't help but want to see what expression his dear teacher would have when he saw his teacher.

Crying or sighing? Fear or helplessness? Especially when Konoha was reduced to ruins, that scene really made Orochimaru tremble with excitement.

"One, two, three, four... six Kage-level fighters. This is the limit of what I can control. It's a pity that I couldn't get the Sage Mode from the White Snake Sage."

"If it's my lovely disciple, how many he can control, at least more than ten. As expected, most of the fighting power must be directed against him, the God of Ninja."

He sighed in a low voice for a moment, and the Ring of the Sky in his hand sparkled brightly. After the long-awaited contact appeared, Orochimaru's face was full of excitement, as if he had encountered something good.

"If I could turn the Rinnegan into a zombie that could be reborn, then..."

At the same time, members of small organizations scattered around the world responded to the call, and phantoms appeared inside the secret stronghold one after another.

"Now, the mission time is officially issued. In the joint Chunin exam of Konoha and Sand Village in three months, Konoha will be eliminated from the list of the five major ninja countries in one fell swoop."

"Orochimaru, Uchiha Itachi, hand over Konoha's defense map to others and wait for the next step of command."

In an instant, the secret room was silent. Orochimaru smiled, his eyes full of anticipation.

"It's so nostalgic that I can't help but want to see the teacher's expression when he sees us. What about you, Itachi?"

"It doesn't matter."

The cold and indifferent tone made Orochimaru smile without saying anything. Scorpion, who had long disliked the two of them, mentioned it casually.

"However, the remaining members of the Uchiha clan would really like to see your expression when you die in front of the Uchiha clan."

The Phantom Orange Body Technique was instantly lifted. Scorpion's puppet collection work had not yet been completed, and he had no time to waste here with them.

As for the issue of attack, whoever owns the ninja village will take the lead. This is an unspoken rule within the ninja world that the rebel ninjas consciously abide by.

What if the rebel ninja suddenly decides to surrender, then wouldn't these ninjas charging in the front become a military order for the rebel ninja to whitewash himself?

"You are as impatient as ever. Jue, please give this defense map to others. I still have some minor adjustments to my experiment, so I will leave first."

Until the meeting was over, Uchiha Itachi lowered his eyes and silently released a crow into the sky, disappearing into the distance.
