Naturally, the person who jumped at him was not the real Anko, but Orochimaru in disguise.
No one expected that Orochimaru would transform into Anko and come alone to assassinate Naruto.
"Fire Release - The art of dragon fire!"
"Earth Escape—Earth Formation Wall!"
Almost without thinking, the Sandaime Hokage spit out a dragon fire jutsu from his mouth. The blazing pillar of fire compressed Orochimaru's space to move, forcing him to stay away from him and make some space.
After the distance was widened, he slapped his hands on the ground, and a wall of earth rose up in front of him.
"Orochimaru, you dare to come back to the village, how brave you are!" After performing the above two operations, the third generation said angrily.
"When you returned to the village, what conspiracy did you bring back?"
Orochimaru laughed: "Teacher, you are so old that you can't even tell that I am a clone in front of you."
The next moment, a pair of hands suddenly appeared behind Sarutobi Hiruzen and grabbed him.
Orochimaru's hands did not encounter any obstacles and directly penetrated the body of the 'Sandai'.
The body of 'Three Generations' turned into pieces of soil, constantly falling off.
"Earth clone... Huh!" Orochimaru knew that he had been fooled, so he didn't say anything and immediately retreated.
Behind him, the ANBU ninjas had already rushed over.
"Protect Hokage-sama!" they each roared, shurikens falling like rain.
The true form of Sarutobi Hiruzen jumped out from the ground and shouted to the ANBU ninjas: "Don't chase them!"
He knew very well the strength of his disciple, and knew that even if those ANBU caught up with him, they would only end up risking their lives.
"Damn it, let him run away like that!"
Some ANBU ninjas were very upset.
This is a good opportunity to show off in front of Hokage-sama. If I had blocked it just now...
These ninjas also knew Orochimaru's strength and did not have unrealistic dreams of defeating Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru must still have remnants in the village, and they must be searched immediately!" the Sandaime ordered.
In the past few days, various major events have been happening in the village, making the Sandaime Hokage feel a little powerless.
"It seems that I am really old..."
Not long ago, I thought I could support myself, but after seeing my disciple again, I finally realized that he was no longer as energetic as he was when he was young.
In this world, the most powerful force is time; the fairest thing is death.
No matter how great a hero is, he will grow old one day; no matter how powerful a ninja is, he will eventually die.
The legendary Sage of Six Paths was like this, the God of Ninja Hashirama was like this, and even the fourth generation was like this.
A trace of blood gushes out from the corner of Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth.
"Sandaime-sama!" the ANBU ninjas exclaimed. One of them even ordered: "Go find the medical ninja quickly!"
"Don't be nervous!" The Sandaime waved his hand, signaling the ANBU ninjas not to get too excited.
Previously, although Orochimaru's assassination did not kill the third generation, the third generation himself was injured because his aging body carried out extremely strenuous exercise.
"Which ninja has not been injured? A small injury of this level is nothing. You must learn to be calm." The third generation said.
However, after he said the words, many people still looked at him with worried eyes.
The words of the third generation cannot be miscalculated, but they are meant for young ninjas.
For the three generations who are declining day by day, does this kind of minor injury really mean nothing?
In a dense forest outside the central tower, Kabuto Yakushi is guarding the real Mitarashi Anko.
In order to prevent Anko from making any noise, Kabuto Yakushi knocked him unconscious without any hesitation.
At this moment, he had a doubt in his heart: "Why did Orochimaru-sama go to assassinate the third generation in such a hurry?"
"Without the help of that technique...even Lord Orochimaru would have had a hard time killing the third generation."
Kabuto Yakushi's suspicion is not without reason.
He is Orochimaru's eyes and ears in Konoha. He has been working for Orochimaru and has a lot of knowledge about this 'Konoha Collapse Plan'.
According to the original plan, Lord Orochimaru should have gone to find that brat from the Uchiha family at this time.
But Yakushi Kabuto saw that not long after, Orochimaru joined him with a gloomy look on his face, and the first thing he said was that he was going to assassinate the third generation.
There are even crazy things like 'how to use hoof seals to perform ninjutsu' and so on.
If it weren't for the power of the curse seal, Yakushi Kabuto would have long suspected whether this was someone impersonating Orochimaru.
Not long after he waited here, he heard a "whoosh" sound.
"Lord Orochimaru, you are back!" Kabuto Yakushi saluted immediately: "What's the result?"
Orochimaru's voice contained a hint of happiness and joy, which Kabuto immediately sensed.
"Hmph! It's exactly what I thought. The third generation old man is really incompetent and weak."
Orochimaru's move can be seen as a kind of venting.
Since entering the Forest of Death, he has encountered obstacles at every turn, and even suffered losses twice in a row, both at the hands of the same force.
This made Orochimaru deeply doubt himself. Was he too outdated and not keeping up with the times?
In Konoha these days, genin has been classified as the highest professional level!
The assassination of the Third Generation this time seemed to be a random move, but in fact it was also a secret test by Orochimaru.
"It seems that the third generation old man doesn't know about Konoha's collapse plan. Otherwise, according to his personality, he will definitely fight to the death with me." Orochimaru's mind was filled with thousands of thoughts.
Next, he spoke: "Who is taking the exam in Konoha's third exam?"
Yakushi Kabuto replied: "I've already heard about it, it's that guy from Moonlight Hayate."
"Sir, do you want me to take action?"
"Yes." Orochimaru nodded: "Uzumaki Naruto, you must pay attention to this guy!"
"Find a way to group him with Gaara of Sunagakure!"
Uzumaki Naruto? Kabuto Yakushi is a little confused. How can such a genin be treated like this by Lord Orochimaru?
Although the Kyuubi is very powerful, the tailed beast is a tailed beast and the jinchuriki is a jinchuriki.
When life is not endangered, the strength of the two should be calculated separately.
"Yes, that's the boy!" Orochimaru emphasized again, with an unpleasant and unnatural expression on his face.
Did this Uzumaki Naruto put you at a disadvantage? A ridiculous idea popped into his mind, and he pressed it down after a moment.
This conjecture is really amazing!
At the same time, in the forest of death, the Team 7 team was comforting a red-haired girl, which made Sakura feel sour in her heart.
"Your surname is Uzumaki, and my surname is Uzumaki. We are both descendants of the Uzumaki clan." Naruto said to the trembling girl.
"So, there is no need for you to regard us as some vicious enemy."
Sakura spoke. Some things were better for her: "Do you still remember what happened when you fought with those three Sunagakure ninjas before?"
