Chapter 126 Puts Pressure on the Third Generation
Sensing the sense of danger, the Third Hokage and Orochimaru, who were forming hand seals, stopped and looked down at their feet.
[Ding! Emotional value from the third generation +999!]
[Ding! Orochimaru's emotional value +999!]
"Orochimaru, what else have you done?" the Third Hokage asked, frowning.
However, Orochimaru was also completely baffled: "I don't know!"
With the Third Hokage and Orochimaru's senses, they could both feel the fire below that was about to explode; it was a terrifying amount of fire.
What business is it of Guan Si and the Purple Flame Formation if someone below uses fire escape techniques?
Could it be that the fire-style techniques below can actually kill those above?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Just look at their rooftop, enveloped by the Four Purple Flame Formation, and how it can withstand the combined attacks of the First, Second, and Third Hokage, and even Orochimaru – its quality is absolutely top-notch!
Neither Orochimaru nor the Third Hokage believed that a mere Fire Release technique could blow up the stands.
However, driven by a sense of crisis, we still diligently made the necessary protective preparations.
At the same time, the two who finally turned their gaze outside also noticed the retreating secret service.
The premonition of danger reached its peak at this moment!
then……
Below, on the supporting pillar, the explosive tags that had been pasted on finally burned to the end!
The explosive tags exploded into fireballs!
In an instant, it was as if an entire Uchiha clan had been resurrected, continuously unleashing the Great Fireball Technique!
"Rumble rumble rumble—"
The deafening explosions continued one after another.
The sturdy load-bearing pillars of the roof, which were strong enough to support the battle between Kage-level fighters, shattered under the expansion and compression of the fireballs!
The two people standing on the roof first felt a strong tremor, then the ground beneath their feet suddenly rose, along with their perspective. The roof tiles in their line of sight undulated like waves, and a large number of tiles, along with the dragon ridge of the roof, broke apart in the process of being squeezed and collided with each other.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The continuous sound of breaking was incessant.
If even a structure capable of supporting Kage-level battles is experiencing such problems, then the Four Purple Flame Formation, which relies solely on chakra for support, is even more problematic.
"Splash splash splash—"
The moment the tremors began, cracks, like shattered tempered glass, filled the entire Four Purple Flame Array!
next second...
"Pfft!"
The four Sound Ninja who were maintaining the barrier coughed up blood from the impact, as if struck by lightning!
The chakra that was originally outputting steadily in their bodies was now like being thrown into a washing machine, rushing left and right in their meridians!
If an ordinary ninja doesn't immediately calm down in the face of chakra vibrations, it's questionable whether they can continue being a ninja for the rest of their life.
But the Sound Four are no ordinary people. Faced with such a shock, out of their loyalty to Orochimaru, their first choice was to forcibly maintain the order!
"Hold on! We absolutely cannot ruin Lord Orochimaru's plans!"
Kidomaru, who has six arms, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.
"Tsk, I can't take it anymore, I absolutely can't take it anymore. The only way to keep going is to use that!"
Tayuya, a woman and a genjutsu ninja, shouted.
“Then let’s use it!” Sakon and Ukon said coldly, which signified that the four had reached a consensus.
"Seal One, activate!"
From the chests of the four people, dense black lines began to climb up their limbs and cheeks!
An unusual chakra filled his body, and the enhancement came instantly!
Under the enhancement of the curse seal, the Four Purple Flame Array brightened up, and the cracks disappeared instantly, as if the previous damage had never existed!
Upon seeing this, Orochimaru revealed a smug smile.
His expression was as if he were saying to the Third Hokage: 'See that? These are my subordinates!'
"Hmph!" The Third Hokage snorted coldly at the smug Orochimaru, about to say something.
But just then, the ground beneath their feet began to fall again!
Just as the feeling of weightlessness began, another violent tremor followed!
"Thump, thump, thump—"
The Third Hokage Orochimaru on the roof had no idea what was happening.
But those in other stands could clearly see that the roof, which had just been blown up by the explosive tag, had fallen back down!
When the broken surfaces of the load-bearing column come into contact and collide, the massive mass crushes each other, causing even greater breakage!
The load-bearing column on the left corner of the room couldn't hold on any longer, and the rectangular roof immediately began to slide down in that direction!
This time, feeling a clear sense of depletion, the Sound Ninja Four, who had just survived the shock, dared not push themselves any further.
The leader, Kidomaru, cried out to Orochimaru in a panic, "Lord Orochimaru, we're going to fall!"
"I know!"
Orochimaru's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water, as he used his chakra to firmly adhere to the dragon's spine beneath his feet!
By this time, Orochimaru had already realized what had happened.
She looked at the Third Generation with displeasure: "Knowing that he couldn't break through the Four Purple Flame Formation, he simply blew up the entire grandstand, like throwing an iron box off a mountain, causing it to shatter."
"Old man, it seems you have no shortage of decisive men among your men!"
"But now, you don't even have the courage to fight me one-on-one?"
Orochimaru was extremely disappointed, utterly, utterly disappointed.
She came to hold a funeral for the Third Generation, but now the Third Generation's subordinates have blown up the stands and forcibly broken the Four Purple Flame Array. How can she hold a funeral for the Third Generation now?
And this is the most troublesome situation for her.
While the two were inside the barrier, the others still had an excuse not to help, but once they came out, the people of Konoha couldn't just stand by and watch their own Kage die; they would all come and gang up on Orochimaru!
However, the most bewildered person at this moment is probably the third generation!
"I didn't, I didn't..." he wanted to say.
The two actually had a certain level of understanding regarding their one-on-one duel.
Otherwise, the Third Hokage could have simply summoned Jiraiya to his side as a bodyguard, and then who could have harmed him?
But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, the third generation hesitated.
After all, who else but his secret service could arrange such a large-scale operation?
A grandstand capable of supporting a battle between Kage-level fighters like this is no cheap item.
Could it be that he issued the order unintentionally?
The three generations fell into deep thought.
But the current situation clearly doesn't give him time to think.
Because from the very beginning, the cascading water from the roof of the grandstand has been intensifying!
Then, to the astonishment of everyone in the Chunin Exams venue...
The three viewing platforms, or rather, the viewing halls, were named Heaven, Earth, and Man. On the Heaven viewing platform, the heavy canopy, like a pillar of heaven that had been knocked down, began to fall with a crash!
And the landing point was precisely the battlefield where the Chunin Exam candidates were fighting!
[Ding! Maki's emotional value +9999!]
[Ding! Moonlight Gale's emotional value +9999!]
Seeing the canopy fall, Maki and Moonlight Gale stopped what they were doing, exchanged a glance, and both saw the intention to retreat in each other's eyes.
Just kidding, if they hit them again, such a huge roof could fall down. It's hard to say whether the people on the roof would be okay, but those two would definitely be in serious trouble!
Thus, Maki and Gekko Hayate made the same choice without prior agreement.
Back off, then sprint!
While running, both Maki and Gekko Hayate were making crazy sarcastic remarks.
Isn't what they want a high-level showdown that will determine who is superior and who will live or die?
How come such a huge canopy fell down on them while they were eating hotpot and singing? Did they break some heavenly law?
However, what the two of them didn't know was that there were two other people just as frantic as they were at that moment!
The white-clad Anbu who had just escaped to the Earth Stand, and Kakashi who was already on the Human Stand, were both stunned by the sight of the massive canopy crashing down.
Especially those in white robes and hidden areas.
He knew it, he knew it all along: improper blasting would result in a million-dollar fine afterward.
When others use explosives, they do it with precise calculations to make the building collapse inwards.
As for Akali's Blast, I just focus on creating chaos and don't care about the consequences.
This canopy hurtling inwards will absolutely, positively threaten the many unconscious spectators in the stands.
Therefore, it is essential to build defenses against it!
Defense sounds simple, but on such a large scale, defending against everything would require using a large-scale, high-level Earth Release technique, which comes at the cost of enormous chakra consumption!
[Ding! Kakashi's emotional value +999!]
Their already limited chakra was further depleted at this moment, yet they had no choice but to comply.
The white-clad shaman began rapidly forming hand seals, and Kakashi on the other side did the same.
"Earth Escape: Earth Current City Wall!"
A massive amount of chakra was channeled into his feet, and a continuous wall rose up, carved with a憨厚可爱 (憨厚可爱 is a Chinese idiom meaning honest and cute) dog head, blocking the ordinary people in front of the stands like a mountain.
After the defense was established, and after a seemingly slow but actually rapid descent, the huge sliding cover crashed to the ground!
"Boom!"
With a series of rumbling sounds, thick smoke and dust spread!
It was like a large-scale mist concealment technique unfolding, coating the entire world with a thin white film!
"Wow, what a stunning scene!"
Akali whistled as she looked at the scene before her.
"However, inhaling too much smoke and dust can easily lead to tuberculosis like Moonlight Gale, so let's forget about it!"
Akali quickly formed hand seals: "Wind Release: Typhoon Passes!"
"boom--"
A sudden gust of wind dispersed the smoke and dust.
The way the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves revealed a level of skill that was ten or even nine-tenths of the way it was used.
Once Wind Release: Typhoon passes, Akali has mastered the Wind Release: Typhoon technique to a master level, thanks to its excellent smoke-dispersing effect. This is quite comical.
However, Kakashi didn't care about the smoke and dust that was blown away.
Looking at Akali, who had somehow appeared beside him, Kakashi questioned, "Akali, what have you done now?"
"Didn't you do anything?"
Akali shrugged innocently: "The Anbu are so useless. The Hokage is trapped in the barrier, and they don't even try to rescue him, so I'll do it for them!"
"Huh?" Kakashi exclaimed incredulously, "You mean by 'doing it for me,' you mean blowing up the top-tier stands?"
"Otherwise what?" Akali looked at Kakashi as if he were an idiot: "Just tell me whether you rescued the Hokage or not!"
Kakashi: "..."
The rescue was definitely successful, but the process of the rescue...
[Ding! Kakashi's emotional value +9999!]
"Tsk!" Kakashi rubbed his temples, his head aching.
After all, as a famous Jonin in the village and the next Jonin squad leader, many of Konoha's projects cannot be kept from him.
Therefore, he knew very well how much money had been spent on these stands for this Chunin Exam.
That was an astronomical price, prepared for multiple reuses in the future!
But Akali? She just exploded like that!
It's like the Bird's Nest was built to host the Olympics, but halfway through the Olympics, the Bird's Nest was gone!
Kakashi could already imagine the Third Hokage's high blood pressure at this moment.
that's the truth.
Men are the kind of people who don't feel anything when they first say they want to break up, but only feel the pain when they can no longer see each other.
Just like now, standing on a vast expanse of rubble and ruins, the third generation.
Looking at the devastation, the Third Generation felt his temples throbbing.
He had already confirmed that he had absolutely not given the order to blow up the stands, so someone must have blown up the stands for him!
Those stands cost so much money to build, and he didn't even have time to reach out!
What Akali just blew away wasn't dust, but the fragrance of Konoha's burning funds!
"Who is it!"
"Who did this?!"
"White cat, white cat, come here!"
The third generation was in a fit of impotence and rage, and he called upon the ANBU guarding the venue.
Called by the Third Generation, the white-clad Anbu members arrived before him immediately.
Beneath the white cat-face mask, the white cat was already drenched in cold sweat. He didn't know how to explain it to the third generation, because no matter how he explained it, he couldn't escape the crime of dereliction of duty.
Fortunately, he's still able to shift the blame!
"It's Akali, it's examinee Akali, Hokage-sama!"
"She took advantage of our inattention and planted a huge number of explosive tags in the stands, blowing up the entire stands!"
"Akali! And she's using explosive tags? This..."
Listening to the white cat's story, the third generation was stunned, and then his scalp tingled!
Because the Third Hokage couldn't have imagined it even if he racked his brains. Akali was a genin, so what if she was good at the Flying Thunder God Technique? So what if Danzo valued her?
Where did she get so many explosive tags? Are explosive tags free?
Let's put it this way: using explosive tags to blow up a house is as wasteful as using missiles to cut through a mountain!
The third generation felt their blood pressure rise!
[Ding! Emotional value from the third generation +9999!]
However, the Third Hokage's return was unexpected, but Orochimaru's side was alright.
Orochimaru was very experienced with Akali; he had suspected it before, and now he was certain.
Looking at Akali, who was silently smiling at him from the wall of the dog-headed earthen city on the upper stands, Orochimaru took a deep breath.
Thank goodness, she had already prepared for Akali as a variable!
Konoha must collapse today. As Orochimaru said, even Jesus couldn't save Konoha!
Just like now, Akali's antics actually helped her in some ways!
Because while the Third Hokage was in a fit of rage due to his incompetence, Orochimaru had already silently completed the hand seals for the Impure World Reincarnation!
"Snapped!"
Orochimaru slapped the ground.
Then, the four coffins slowly began to rise from the ground!
They are respectively:
初！
two!
three!
Four!
