ps: Let me reiterate that the update at 4 o'clock is an anti-theft chapter, and the main content will be after 5 o'clock. I suggest you go to bed early and get up early_(:зゝ∠)_.

Swish——

It was like the sound of a broken mirror.

A powerful force fell from the sky and hit the red barrier directly.

This almost transparent wall that blocked many Konoha ninjas from the outside world was completely shattered at this moment.

As the transparent barrier was broken, the Konoha ninjas shouted and rushed into the barrier, and the Sound Ninjas followed closely behind, trying to stop them.

The ninjas of both sides intertwined, expanding the battlefield into the original barrier again.

In the central area of ​​the Uchiha clan, the powerful force did not lose momentum after breaking the barrier, and rushed straight to Orochimaru in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.

Bathed in the red tailed beast chakra, a huge red palm condensed from the chakra, descended from the sky and pressed down on Orochimaru who had no time to dodge.

In the horrified eyes of Orochimaru, this blow landed steadily.

Boom——

A roar sounded.

The area where the beast's palm landed was directly sunken several meters, and all the creatures contained in it were directly annihilated under the erosion of the violent tailed beast chakra.

The powerful air wave rolled up endless dust and spread it around.

The Konoha ninjas and Oto ninjas who were still fighting fiercely were also affected by this air wave.

With this palm as the center, the entire Uchiha clan was directly turned into ruins under this palm.

"Naruto... Naruto?"

The dust was everywhere, blocking everyone's vision.

But the special chakra of the tailed beast had already made everyone present know who the person was.

Standing behind the huge body of the monkey demon, Sarutobi Hiruzen, under its protection, withstood the direct impact of this wave of air waves. He almost died directly from the accidental injury just now.

"Escaped?"

Under the huge beast's palm, no matter good or evil, everything is empty.

Ryosuke immediately spread his perception outward, but did not detect the trace of Orochimaru.

The opponent's escape technique is very exquisite, and there are also means of shielding perception, making it difficult to capture.

However, there is also a possibility that Orochimaru really turned into soil nutrients with other insects and birds under the palm just now.

But Ryosuke thinks that the possibility of this situation is very low, and he does not believe that Orochimaru will be killed so easily by a slap.

According to his intelligence on this guy, this guy is as slippery as a loach, and it is more difficult to kill than Shimura Danzo with Izanagi.

"The danger is over, this battle ends here, and the next... is up to you."

After confirming that Orochimaru disappeared, Ryosuke stood up from the dust.

"...I."

He had been talking about meeting Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Sandaime, but when it really came to this, Naruto was a little hesitant, shrinking in the mental space, "How about Ryosuke, you go..."

"This is your own problem, don't be a deserter, Naruto."

Before he finished speaking, Ryosuke spoke coldly.

The next moment, his control over Naruto's body had disappeared.

After Ryosuke's consciousness left Naruto's body, without the power of the Otsutsuki to suppress it, the power of the tailed beast began to stir again.

But before this power could become violent again, Ryosuke's consciousness had already slapped the seal cage with a slap, using the five elements seal to reinforce the seal inside.

In an instant, the blood-red tailed beast coat, like a frightened bird, shrank back into the sealed space in Naruto's body and returned to the body of the Nine-Tails.

"You..."

The Nine-Tails dared to be angry but dared not speak. From the moment Ryosuke's consciousness descended on Naruto's body, he had been very well-behaved.

Everything blurred became clear again, and Naruto, who had always been a spectator, took back control of his body.

The feeling just now was a little subtle, but compared to experiencing every detail of this battle, he was too nervous to speak.

"Is it... Naruto?"

Outside the dust, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still shouting.

His tone was full of worry, and he was still waiting for Naruto's response.

The momentum just now was too great, making him wonder if Naruto had been swallowed by the tailed beast in his body and became an emotionless beast.

"I'm here."

With extremely complicated emotions, Uzumaki Naruto stepped out of the dust step by step and walked out.

During this process, he kept calling out to Ryosuke, and was always struggling over where to start.

But all the time, Ryosuke's consciousness seemed to have withdrawn from the communication and no longer responded to him.

Confusing and hesitant.

With all kinds of emotions, when Naruto was about to face the old man who might have "cheated" him for many years, the hatred and resentment in his emotions retreated instead.

But soon, this retreat slowly left.

"Third... Third-generation grandfather."

The dust and fog dissipated, and Uzumaki Naruto walked out. What greeted him was an old face he had never seen before.

That wrinkled face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.

And on this face, the turbid eyes seemed to relax at the moment when they saw his appearance clearly, and it was this relaxation that made his body lean back and fall.

"Grandpa Sandaime!"

Without hesitation, Naruto rushed forward, but stopped before he got close.

At the same time, other ninjas from Konoha had also arrived late.

Kakashi, Sarutobi Ashima, Yuhi Kurenai, Mitarashi Anko...

Except for the ninjas who were still on missions, and the Anbu who had not yet returned from outside the village, most of the Konoha ninjas were next to the Sandaime in the blink of an eye and protected him.

They had already dealt with the Otonin who had invaded and destroyed the village.

Without Orochimaru as the command center, the top Otoninin responsible for deploying the barrier had already retreated, and the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals were easily captured by them.

Now, they all looked at Naruto vigilantly, including Kakashi.

His eyes were complicated, not because he didn't trust Naruto.

But from the current situation, Naruto either accidentally or intentionally became the "accomplice" of Orochimaru's plan this time.

As the Hokage of the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen, no matter how good he was to Naruto, would never let him get close to the Hokage under such circumstances.

"Medical team!"

Looking at his father's injuries, Asuma put aside his past grudges and shouted loudly for the medical ninja.

But the next moment, his action was stopped.

"No, I'm... it's time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said regretfully, "Now I just want to see someone, you ask him to come over."

Resisting the sleepiness and fatigue of falling asleep, he stood up with the help of Asuma.

"But..."

Asuma hesitated.

"Let Naruto come over."

But Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were very firm, and he repeated it again.

And all Konoha ninjas must obey his orders.

So the next moment, many Konoha jonins made way for them, followed by Konoha's chunins and genins.

Naruto, who had stopped walking, hurriedly took another step because the crowd blocked the way.

He had seen this kind of repulsive look many times, and he didn't care so much. He wanted to get closer to see what the old man was like now.

"Compared to... the last time we met, he has matured a lot, and he is so murderous, and it seems that he has suffered a lot of grievances."

The familiar and old, gentle voice sounded in his ears, making Naruto seem to have returned to the first time he formally met Sarutobi Hiruzen when he was eating grilled fish on the Hokage Rock.

Some time ago, Naruto had imagined countless times what it would be like when he met Sarutobi Hiruzen again.

He had imagined that he would kill himself, and that he would be speechless in the face of his own questioning, but...

He had never imagined the scene now.

One night of fighting had brought the night to an end.

The sky gradually brightened. Although the sun had not yet risen, the gray world had already become colorful.

Standing in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Naruto looked at the old man in front of him with great complexity, "You are also much older than the last time we met."

Maybe Sarutobi Hiruzen had seen him in the hospital, but the first time he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen was before he met Orochimaru on the last mission.

Compared to the last time, the Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him had become a fading old man, like a candle that was about to go out.

"Yes... old."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and took a step forward to get closer to Naruto.

The Kusanagi sword was still in his body.

And the organs that were pierced had stopped functioning for some time.

He didn't have much time, and he could continue to talk to Naruto like this because there was something that kept him going.

Naruto wanted to retreat cautiously when Sarutobi Hiruzen approached him, but when he saw his eyes, he stopped inexplicably, allowing him to put his arm on his shoulder.

"Everyone!"

Before Naruto could continue speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already straightened up, put his arm around his shoulder and shouted loudly, and as his voice increased, blood gushed out of his wound.

"Third generation..."

Naruto hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him, but he stopped the voice with his palm.

"I don't have much time, so let's make it short."

"This... will be my last order as the Third Hokage, which is to protect Uzumaki Naruto. Before Jiraiya brings the Fifth Hokage back to the village, I hope everyone here can protect Uzumaki Naruto."

"Don't let anyone in or outside the village cause him trouble. Most importantly, don't let Shimura Danzo contact Naruto. This is my last order."

"Everything about Uzumaki Naruto will be arranged by the Fifth Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's full-bodied voice reached the ears of every Konoha ninja, making many of them look a little confused.

Like a last breath, after he issued this order, his face suddenly had a trace of blood, "Next... I want to tell you something, because I don't know if I can hold on to finish these words, so please don't interrupt me."

Every time he spoke, it was a great burden on his body.

Blood gushed out like a spring, but Sarutobi Hiruzen was getting more and more energetic. He felt like he had returned to his youth, temporarily forgetting the pain, and his body seemed to float up.

"Uzumaki Naruto is actually the son of the fourth generation Hokage Minato Namikaze. He is not a demon fox, he is the child of a hero."

"The concealment and blockade of this news was an extremely wrong decision made by Sarutobi Hiruzen in his later years. I will pay the price for this decision with my reputation."

Next, his words directly shocked the audience.

Most people were unaware of this news, but there were a few people who knew about it, and they were a little surprised why Sarutobi spoke at this time.

Far away from here, Ryosuke, who was rushing out of the village, had a smile on his face.

"In order to protect the village, the Fourth Hokage did not hesitate to use his newborn child as a container to seal the tailed beast for the sake of the village's peace. This was his choice and my regret."

"Perhaps if I had performed the seal and sacrificed in his place, the village would have become better, but... his ideas were always one step faster than mine, and he implemented the will of fire more thoroughly than I did."

"Where the leaves are flying, the fire will also continue. The sacrificed people will become flames, continue to illuminate this village we protect together, and let new leaves sprout."

"No matter what decisions everyone present will make in the future, and what direction they will take, I hope that everyone will not let the word Konoha be forgotten in the long history of the ninja world. This is what the Second Hokage once gave me, and what I once gave to the Fourth Hokage. Now... I give it to you..."

Because the distance is getting farther and farther, after the communication is disconnected, Ryosuke can no longer hear the words that Sarutobi Hiruzen said later.

But Naruto's situation should be temporarily settled.

The news of the Fourth Hokage's child, coupled with Sarutobi Hiruzen's last order, no matter how surprising Naruto's performance tonight is, many people will come forward to defend him.

Just as he said at the beginning, the people are stupid.

Without accurate information, they can only be like fence-sitters, and follow the wind. When these two pieces of news came out, the guilt and self-blame would make many people who originally hated Naruto defend him instead.

The short-term black to fan, is nothing more than that.

Connected...

As the figure moved quickly, Ryosuke's consciousness had once again connected to another body.

A black shadow was leaping in the dense forest outside the village, and in his eye sockets, there were eyes as bright as Ryosuke's.

This was a body that Ryosuke felt more familiar with than Naruto's body, allowing his Byakugan ability to be more powerful, almost showing on this body.

This was the third mecha he had reserved before the Wave Country was used - Chiba Xun.

As the third mecha, the strength of this mecha is very ordinary, whether it is the amount of chakra or the physical strength.

His identity is just a Chunin, and he is mediocre in the original envoy team.

At that time, Ryosuke did not have the ability to transfer his own abilities to the body of the controller, so he never chose to control this body, fearing that it would delay the mission.

As a result, only the second body was used to complete the original plan of the Wave Country, so this third body was temporarily forgotten.

And it happened that there was a good opportunity to use this body tonight.

Now he can transfer his own abilities to the controlled person through control, so the strength of the controlled person himself is not very important.

Compared with this, the proficiency of the fit between the body and consciousness is the key.

"Found it."

The indifferent voice sounded from Qianye Xun's mouth, and his speed increased to the extreme in an instant, rushing towards the distant target without any intention of concentration.

After just a short while outside the village, Ryosuke found the traces of the Root ninja leaving.

Since he chose to leave the village and put on a vest after giving up the scene of witnessing the death of a generation of ninja heroes, he must have a purpose.

And his target was Shimura Danzo.

In the past, this old guy had been hiding in the nest of the Root, and his spiritual perception could not be transmitted into it. He was also protected by the Root from top to bottom, so Ryosuke was not easy to do it.

But now, he came out of the dark for Naruto, so he couldn't let go of this opportunity.

As for why Ryosuke didn't kill this old guy when he controlled Naruto's body just now, there was of course a reason.
