Chapter 82 The Plan Begins
In the woods outside the training ground, a large number of Sound Ninja and Sand Ninja met at the agreed-upon location.
Several Sand Ninja were sitting on a giant, drawn jutsu seal, preparing to activate it, with several other Sand Ninja guarding the area.
The Sound Ninja leader glanced at the Sand Ninja present and said, "Quickly prepare the Summoning Jutsu and be ready to act at any time. This place is in your hands."
After giving these instructions, he led a group of Sound Ninja away from the scene to carry out their own mission.
......
Just as Boruto and Gaara's duel reached its climax, Kakashi and Sasuke finally arrived at the scene.
Kakashi's gaze fell on the purple lightning in Boruto's hand, which surprised him greatly.
Sasuke never expected that Boruto would not only master Chidori in just one month, but also be able to develop new ninjutsu from it. This speed of progress was simply unbelievable.
Boruto's purple lightning tore through the sand wall defense formed by the sand waves, heading straight for Gaara hidden inside the sand sphere.
Gaara, inside the sand sphere, detected Boruto's thrusting motion by relying on visual information transmitted from the sand holes above.
The moment the sand sphere was torn apart by Boruto's purple lightning, Gaara grabbed Boruto's arm that was reaching into the sand sphere, thus avoiding the danger of his shoulder being pierced, but blood still splattered onto Gaara's face.
Immediately, a powerful electric current surged from the spot where Gaara had grabbed Boruto's arm, spreading throughout his entire body.
A moment later, Boruto tried to pull his hand away, only to find his arm tightly bound and unable to break free.
Boruto used all his strength, his muscles tense, and finally managed to pull his hand out of Gaara's sand ball. However, as he successfully broke free, an alien hand also came out with him.
Boruto immediately recognized that the strange hand belonged to Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast.
The appearance of Shukaku may mean that Gaara is now possessed by it.
Boruto stared into the inside of the sand sphere, and through the hole he had just made, he saw the eye of a monster.
Then a powerful pressure was released towards Boruto, similar to that of the enraged Nine-Tails.
As the sandstorm suddenly cracked open with several fissures, the entire sand sphere began to show cracks, eventually turning into a pile of loose sand, and Gaara's figure appeared.
"He's injured after all; his shell was damaged in an incomplete state." Kankuro and Temari noticed that Gaara hadn't turned into a monster, but they didn't dare to relax in the slightest. Gaara's condition was clearly unstable.
Gaara knelt on the ground, one hand tightly clutching his injured shoulder, his eyes bloodshot with rage as he glared menacingly at Boruto.
......
Wearing a Konoha Anbu mask, Kabuto Yakushi noticed some unusual activity in the woods outside the arena. He muttered to himself, "That should be enough."
Kabuto Yakushi quickly and silently approached a spectator, gently placing his hand on the person's shoulder and hypnotizing them.
Immediately afterwards, Kabuto Yakushi activated the Nirvana Abode technique to ensure the smooth progress of the plan.
The Nirvana Abode Technique is a special illusion that releases white feathers that, once seen by the target, induce a peaceful and deep sleep.
As long as the person being cast sees the falling white feather, they will enter a peaceful and deep sleep. Unlike ordinary illusions, this spell has a very wide range and can affect a large number of people at the same time.
However, it has a significant drawback: if one knows how to dispel illusions, they can break free on their own before falling into a deep sleep.
Maki surveyed his surroundings and thought to himself: Illusion? The masked figure has already begun its operation? Then it's about time...
Then Maki raised his head and looked at his own shadow, waiting for his signal.
On the high platform, the Third Hokage also noticed something was wrong, seeing large numbers of the audience falling asleep. He couldn't help but look at the Kazekage beside him, who also looked over.
Orochimaru's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he turned around to give the order to the people behind him: "Attack!"
The Third Hokage's pupils suddenly contracted.
The ninja behind Orochimaru pulled out a smoke bomb from his waist and, without hesitation, threw it forcefully at the Third Hokage.
The smoke grenade bounced twice on the ground before exploding, releasing thick smoke that quickly spread and enveloped the entire platform, blurring the Third Hokage's vision.
The Anbu behind him quickly protected the Third Hokage: "Hokage-sama, get out of here as soon as possible!"
Although his reaction was quick, it was too late. Two kunai suddenly flew out from the smoke and struck the ANBU ninja who was trying to protect the Third Hokage.
As the Anbu ninja fell, Orochimaru seized the opportunity, grabbed the Third Hokage's shoulder, and used the Body Flicker Technique to instantly move him to the rooftop.
The ninjas outside the arena saw the smoke billowing from the high platform and immediately realized that the operation had begun. They immediately used the Summoning Jutsu to summon a giant snake that was tens of meters long to attack the gates of Konoha.
The Sand Ninja and the Sound Ninja disguised as Konoha Anbu dropped their disguises and revealed themselves from the shadows, starting a chaotic battle.
After Orochimaru brought the Third Hokage to the rooftop, the Sound Four and the Konoha Anbu ninja reacted almost simultaneously and quickly surrounded him.
Orochimaru looked at the Sound Four and coldly gave the order: "Attack!"
At Orochimaru's command, the Sound Four quickly responded, "Yes!" Then, they formed hand seals and shouted in unison, "Ninja Art: Four Purple Flames Formation!"
At this moment, a member of the secret service suddenly rushed forward, but was instantly backfired by the Four Purple Flame Formation. A flame ignited on his body, causing the other secret service members to dare not step forward.
The Third Hokage said, "I never expected that Suna would betray Konoha."
"The so-called treaty is just a smokescreen to make the opponent careless. The boring game is over. From now on, history will change."
“We should try to negotiate now. It’s not too late, Your Highness Fengying.”
Orochimaru sneered and said, "Getting old and blinded by peace, Sarutobi-sensei..."
"Damn it!" At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally understood that the Kazekage was Orochimaru in disguise.
The Third Hokage said with his eyes closed, "I knew this day would come sooner or later, but taking my head won't be so easy, Orochimaru."
Orochimaru ripped off his mask and said, "I should have told you that you'd better decide who the Fifth Hokage is sooner rather than later, because you, as the Third Hokage, are going to die here."
......
Gaara, facing Boruto, roared in a frenzy, "I'm going to kill you..."
