Chương 113: War Breaks Out, Konoha in Chaos!

Orochimaru, dressed as the Fourth Kazekage, had previously fought against Yoshinari in the Forest of Death.

In his opinion, Yang Cheng's strength was probably no less than that of his right-hand man, Yakushi Kabuto.

Defeating a nobody henchman whose name you can't even remember is practically a sure thing, isn't it?

As for the Third Hokage, there's even less to say. Before, he might have just regarded Yang Cheng as a slightly talented new generation ninja, but after watching his battle with Anko, the Third Hokage realized that Yang Cheng was not just slightly talented at all.

Whether it's his talent and potential, or his mentality and personality, he is a super genius comparable to Minato Namikaze, Kakashi Hatake, and Itachi Uchiha!

Yamanaka Inoichi has misled him!

Your adopted son is so awesome, you should have told him sooner so that this old man could have gained more favor with the other party!

After Yang Cheng defeated Rokudo Tosu, it was the young prince who, with his cheat-like abilities, defeated Hyuga Neji, who was full of talk about destiny.

Immediately afterwards, Kakashi made a dazzling appearance with Nisuke, and used his Sharingan to copy Yoshinori and Lee's previous taijutsu, forcibly putting Gaara on par with him.

As the sound of Chidori faded away and Gaara, who had been defending himself with absolute power, was injured, the Chunin Exams reached their climax. At the same moment that Gaara went berserk, the Fourth Kazekage, who had been sitting next to the Third Hokage, suddenly attacked and stabbed the Third Hokage in the kidney with his sword.

As the Sound Four unleashed their Four Purple Flame Formation, the Third Hokage glared at the Fourth Kazekage before him and roared, "You are not the Fourth Kazekage, you are—"

"It's been a long time, Sarutobi-sensei. I've come today to send you to your final resting place."

Compared to the original storyline, this time the Calabash Brothers were more seriously injured, so they went berserk in Konoha Village on the spot.

The moment Shukaku appeared in Konoha, the Sand Village ninja lurking within the village also made their move.

Seeing the giant, spirit-like snakes appearing in the village, Hongdou trembled with anger.

The presence of the Heavenly Curse Seal, along with the giant snakes attacking various parts of the village, makes it clear to even a fool who the mastermind is!

At the same time, at the original examination venue, Kabuto Yakushi, who had been lurking in the shadows, also made his move. The moment the commotion erupted, he immediately used his chakra scalpel to launch a sneak attack on Makoto.

Unfortunately, Yang Cheng, who possessed Observation Haki, anticipated Kabuto Yakushi's sneak attack immediately.

Not only was Yang Cheng's wrist, which was holding the chakra scalpel, grabbed, but he also sent Yang Cheng flying with a backhand punch.

"Lord Orochimaru is right. We must not be careless about your strength in the slightest."

If it were just me alone, I might not be able to take you away, but I have a backup plan.

As a medical ninja, Kabuto Yakushi's talent and strength far surpass those of Shizune, who has been by Tsunade's side for many years.

Not only was he skilled in chakra scalpels and earth-style techniques, but he also developed some techniques for manipulating dead bodies while following Orochimaru. Unfortunately, after fighting for dozens of rounds, Kabuto Yakushi realized that it would be quite difficult to forcibly abduct Yang Cheng with his own strength. So he slowly took out a bundle of scrolls from his pocket.

As a cloud of white mist billowed out, a figure dressed in black with short brown hair appeared before the crowd.

When they saw this figure appear, Temari, Kankuro, and other Sand Village ninjas who were fighting, as well as the people from Konoha, were all stunned on the spot.

Because the figure that appeared in front of them was none other than the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa!

However, Rasa's skin was now covered in cracks, his pupils were completely black, and he had no life at all, making him look like a living person.

And how could the Fourth Kazekage, a figure of great stature, be summoned by one of Orochimaru's subordinates using a scroll?

"That treacherous Orochimaru not only ambushed and assassinated me, but he even used this technique to forcibly control me!"

Hearing the words of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, the Sand Village Jonin, Maki, and the others were all dumbfounded.

They had previously thought that their Fourth Kazekage was fighting the Third Hokage on that rooftop.

But to everyone's surprise, their Fourth Kazekage was not only killed by Orochimaru, but was even replaced!

"Lord Kazekage, what exactly is going on? What should we do next?"

As the captain of Sunagakure, Maki knew that the Fourth Kazekage had cooperated with Orochimaru.

He just didn't expect that the cooperation they had agreed to would be preemptively taken by the ruthless Orochimaru.

With the Kazekage dead, will they continue their deadly struggle against Konoha?

"Lord Kazekage, I think you should be quite clear about the current situation."

The war began the moment your Sunagakure attacked Konoha.

If you surrender now, do you really think Konoha will forgive and forget about your past transgressions?

"You're already dead as the Kazekage of Sunagakure. If the Hokage of Konoha hadn't died, wouldn't Sunagakure be in a very unfavorable situation?"

Kabuto Yakushi, who had been summoned by the Impure World Rasa, pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, showing no sign of panic about his current situation.

This time they used an open strategy and have already tied Sunagakure to their cause. Sunagakure is now in a difficult situation, and even if they don't want to be the henchmen, they have no choice but to be!

As Yakushi Kabuto said, they had no other choice.

In order to launch this Konoha Crush plan, Sunagakure has staked all of its remaining resources.

If they retreat now, they'll probably lose everything, even their pants.

But if they win this battle, the situation will be different.

With Konoha being so prosperous and wealthy, they could easily make a fortune and no longer have to suffer from poverty.

Their Kazekage is dead, so as long as they kill the Hokage of Konoha, the balance of power between the two countries will not be broken, and they will not have to worry about Konoha's revenge.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, may not have been a good father, but he was definitely a good Kazekage, and he truly devoted himself to his village.

Orochimaru's revenge can be taken by the village later, but right now they must inflict a heavy blow on Konoha so that they won't have the strength to cause trouble for Sunagakure afterwards.

"Maki, attack Konoha according to the original plan. If things become unsuccessful, retreat immediately and leave Orochimaru's men behind to cover the rear."

Upon hearing Rasa's order, Maki and the other Sand Village ninjas were also moved to tears.

Temari and Kankuro, in particular, were even contemplating killing Kabuto Yakushi on the spot.

However, they were quite clear that Kabuto Yakushi's confidence indicated that he had the means to achieve it, and for the sake of Sunagakure, they had to prioritize the overall situation.
