"So everything I guessed before was correct!"
"The large crater in the Land of Waves, the large crater at the Root base, the disappearance of a large number of Anbu, and the attitude towards Naruto!"
"All of this is related to this personality called Feng Xu!"
On the stands of the arena, the Daimyo also looked curiously towards the entrance.
Among them, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, with a troubled expression, held a fan and hesitated.
After a long while, he finally made up his mind and, with a look of fear, turned to the figure behind him and asked,
"Who is that Feng Xu? Why would the Third Hokage ask him for help?"
"Has Konoha Village produced another Ninja stronger than the Hokage?"
"He is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki," Danzo said with a cold face, emerging from the darkness behind.
"And he is a Jinchuriki indulged by Hiruzen, arrogant and disobedient!"
Danzo's sudden resentment and anger made the Daimyo of the Land of Fire shrink his head.
He covered his mouth with his fan and whispered complaints to the other Daimyo beside him.
"It's him, I told you about him before, that Hokage assistant with sharp eyes and a terrible temper..."
"Daimyo!" Danzo, hearing the Daimyo of the Land of Fire's whispers, raised his voice and interrupted him.
"Look at the Village in danger now; this is all the consequence of Hiruzen's naive and weak ideas!"
"It is this naivety and weakness that led to the betrayal of the Sand Ninja alliance, and it was letting Orochimaru escape back then that led to today's invasion of Konoha!"
"And the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki he harbored, you will soon see that disobedient recklessness!"
Regarding Feng Xu's personality, Danzo saw it more clearly than Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he had no unrealistic expectations!
He knew very well that Feng Xu would not easily save people.
Even if he did, it would certainly not be as Hiruzen Sarutobi wished, and there would definitely be quite embarrassing consequences!
The other Daimyo didn't feel much about Danzo's words; they just nodded to each other, indicating it was indeed terrifying.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire, however, covered his face with his fan, revealing only his fearful small eyes.
"Then, what do you mean, Hokage assistant...?"
Danzo took a step forward to the edge of the stands, his expression grim as he stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi below.
"I hope that after this incident, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, will abdicate to atone for his sins!"
"And the next Hokage needed must be someone who can handle this terrible situation, clean up the aftermath, and bring reform and new life to Konoha!"
With that, Danzo slammed his wooden cane on the ground.
Immediately, several masked Root Ninja appeared behind him, kneeling on one knee.
"Begin the suppression operation, show the Daimyo our qualifications!"
"Yes!"
The Root Ninja scattered in all directions with a whoosh.
Danzo had been delaying his move, waiting for Feng Xu's arrival.
Now that Feng Xu was here, Orochimaru's assassination plan, whether it failed or not, would surely be resolved quickly.
And what he needed to do was to seize the opportunity now.
Let the Root Ninja, who had been dispatched in full force, quickly intervene to resolve and suppress the Otogakure and Sand Ninja, who had already been severely beaten by the Anbu!
At the entrance of Konoha, a large number of Root Ninja suddenly rushed out from the dark corners.
Facing the many giant snakes that Ibihiki and the others found difficult to handle.
They held the talismans, already exchanged with Orochimaru, to release the Great Serpent summoning jutsu.
With a single application, a multitude of large snakes, with a 'bang,' returned to Ryuchi Cave!
And throughout the Village and in the Forest of Death, the Otogakure and Sand Ninja fighting the Anbu.
Were also ambushed from behind by a large number of Root Ninja who had been hiding nearby.
In less than ten minutes, this joint invasion of Konoha was completely suppressed!
Time rewound to ten minutes ago.
Inside the arena.
While Danzo was speaking with the Daimyo.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was subjected to an even more intense attack from Orochimaru and the Impure World Reincarnation First and Second Hokage.
Looking at Feng Xu, who stood there motionless, Hiruzen Sarutobi, constantly spitting blood, had an extremely grim expression.
But he had no choice but to put on a benevolent face and shout loudly,
"Feng Xu and Naruto, quickly use the Nine-Tailed's power to protect the Village and eliminate the enemy!"
"Naruto! Have you forgotten when Grandpa accompanied you to catch and roast fish when you were little?"
"Now is the chance to gain everyone's recognition! You must tell them that you are not that evil demon fox, but Naruto, who protects everyone!"
Seeing Feng Xu stand still without any reaction, Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart sank to rock bottom.
He had witnessed the power of the Tailed Beast Ball; if Feng Xu were to attack, this Four Violet Flames Formation would be instantly destroyed.
And what awaited Orochimaru would be a group beating, followed by a hasty escape.
The Anbu and the observing Ninja beside him also looked nervously at Feng Xu.
Until the first person spoke: "Lord Feng Xu, Lord Naruto, for the sake of the Village, please make a move!"
This sentence seemed to open a switch, and the voices of many Anbu followed one after another.
"You were raised by Hokage-sama, how can you watch him be killed by the enemy?"
"As orphans, the Village raised you, and now it's time to repay!"
"That's right, I'm the Anbu who protected you since childhood; it was Hokage-sama's order that allowed you to grow up safely!"
Under these many voices, Naruto in his consciousness also began.
"Feng Xu, they are not wrong, you can't watch Grandpa Third die!"
"Feng Xu, I beg you, please help Grandpa Third, he watched me grow up, without him, I would have died long ago..."
Listening to the seemingly pleading, but actually coercive, words from both inside and outside.
Feng Xu finally couldn't help but cover his face and laugh up at the sky.
"Hehehe... Hahaha..."
The next second, the laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by a furious roar.
"All of you, shut up!!!"
Golden-red Chakra surged out instantly with the roar!
The nine fox tails behind him also appeared in the blink of an eye, obscuring the sky!
Accompanying the appearance of the Nine-Tailed Chakra, a terrifying pressure brought forth layers of outward air currents and hurricanes, sweeping across the entire arena!
Everyone was blown so hard they couldn't open their eyes, and even the Four Violet Flames Formation in front was rippled by the wind!
Immediately after.
Swish!
Pfft!
A huge fox tail extended and pierced out like an arrow shot from a bowstring.
Impaling the last Anbu who spoke on the tip of its tail!
"So, you're saying you watched me being insulted and bullied since I was little?"
Chapter 114: The Corpse is Speaking (Laughs)
"You, ugh..."
A large amount of blood poured from the Anbu's chest.
His hand, pointing at Feng Xu, soon fell limply to the ground.
On his face beneath the mask, disbelief and regret still lingered.
Splat!
The golden-red Chakra fox tail casually tossed the Anbu's corpse aside.
A lingering smile remained on his lips.
Cold eyes with crimson vertical pupils emerged from beneath the hand covering his face.
With a chilling killing intent, he glanced at the Anbu who had spoken around him.
"Dare to threaten me? Have you forgotten what happened two months ago?"
"Since you've all forgotten, let me help you remember properly..."
Feng Xu's voice was light, but it sent a chill through all the surrounding Anbu.
Although some of them hadn't seen it firsthand, they had all seen it in the intelligence reports!
The Root mission tragedy, where more than a dozen Anbu, including Jonin, were burned to death by Nine-Tailed Chakra!
Naruto in the sealing space also realized something and quickly began to plead for these Anbu.
"Feng Xu, don't kill them!"
"They just misspoke for a moment, their crime isn't worthy of death!"
Elephant, who hadn't spoken earlier, also quickly stepped forward and bowed, explaining,
"Lord Feng Xu, they weren't threatening you; they were just a bit too eager to save Lord Third!"
Seeing that Feng Xu didn't answer him, but instead his killing intent grew stronger.
He quickly shouted to the surrounding Anbu: "All of you, get out!"
"All of you, go to the Interrogation Unit and receive your punishment!"
The Anbu, receiving the order, felt as if they had been granted a great pardon and rushed out of the arena.
But surprisingly, one or two Anbu were still unwilling, shouting as they ran.
"If Lord Feng Xu is willing to rescue, we will voluntarily accept severe punishment!"
"Heh," Feng Xu chuckled and shook his head.
Then the ground suddenly shattered and collapsed, and the air whistled and hummed.
Feng Xu's figure flashed, disappearing from his original spot.
Immediately after, a golden-red phantom, like lightning, instantly flashed past the many Anbu!
The next moment.
Feng Xu, who had disappeared for a few seconds, returned to his original position, standing in front of Elephant.
His originally golden-red fox tail was now stained crimson, constantly dripping.
At the same time, he tilted his head, looking at Elephant in front of him, and his playful words echoed throughout the entire arena.
"The corpses are speaking ~"
"What corpses!?" Feng Xu's voice instantly startled the stunned crowd.
They all looked at the Anbu who stood still, suddenly motionless.
"What just happened!"
"Why aren't these Anbu running anymore?"
Facing everyone's confusion, Elephant, smelling the strong scent of blood at his nose, felt a surge of sadness and powerlessness.
"Dead, all dead, they are all dead..."
As if responding to Elephant's words, a series of inexplicable sounds began.
