Chapter 86 The Plan Failed
Chapter 86 The Plan Failed
Kidomaru, who was hiding in the tree, witnessed this scene. He originally thought that his arrow could easily take down Boruto, but he did not expect that the old Hokage would block it. He was immediately furious.
Kidomaru said coldly, "Hmph! Damn old man! You like to block, huh? I wonder if your current body can withstand this second arrow!"
Kidomaru spat out another arrow made of high-density gold from the tree, nocked it on the bow he had made, slowly drew back the bowstring, aimed at the Third Hokage and Boruto, preparing to pierce them both.
With a sharp whooshing sound, Kidomaru's arrow, propelled by the bowstring, kicked up a cloud of dust and shot straight toward the Third Hokage and Boruto.
"Third Hokage, watch out!" Boruto saw another arrow hurtling towards them from afar, so he quickly pulled out a black soldier pill from his ninja tool pouch and swallowed it, intending to step forward and block the arrow.
But at that moment, the Second Hokage launched another Water Release attack at Boruto, forcing Boruto to fight back.
At that moment, the Third Generation also sensed the attack from behind and shouted, "Please, Enma!"
The Monkey King also arrived at the battlefield. Upon hearing the Third Hokage's call, it transformed into the Vajra Staff and knocked down the arrow shot by Kidomaru.
Immediately afterwards, the monkey demon reached out a hand, picked up the arrow it had knocked down, and then threw it back at Kidomaru, who was preparing to shoot a third arrow.
When Kidomaru saw the arrow being thrown back, he immediately secreted spider-gold from his sweat glands, forming a protective film all over his body and metallicizing his skin.
......
A round of applause suddenly rang out, followed by Orochimaru's voice coming from behind the Third Hokage, teasing, "As expected of Sarutobi-sensei, he still has the leisure to save people while fighting me."
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, responded coldly to Orochimaru's mockery: "Orochimaru, don't you understand? As long as the people of the village are still fighting desperately to protect their important comrades, Konoha will not be destroyed by you."
"Then try it." Orochimaru looked at the Third Hokage's pierced hand and said provocatively, "With a hand that can't even form hand seals right now?"
"Don't underestimate the Hokage!" The Third Hokage gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and forcefully pulled his pierced hand out of the arrow.
The third generation began to form hand seals. Although each movement was accompanied by intense pain, he endured it through sheer willpower.
"Lightning Release: Thunderclap!"
The Third Hokage unleashed a sharp lightning spear from his mouth, sweeping lightning towards Orochimaru from near to far.
"Spirit Summoning Technique: Triple Rashomon!"
With Orochimaru's hand seals and incantations, three enormous Rashomon gates were summoned from hell, each with different functions and defensive capabilities.
The Rashomon gates, with their gaping maws seemingly mocking the Third Hokage's attack, easily blocked the lightning attack unleashed by him.
Lightning struck Rashomon with a deafening roar, but the door remained completely still.
Faced with the formidable defense of the Triple Rashomon, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked rather grim. After a series of battles, he no longer had enough chakra to unleash more ninjutsu.
Orochimaru also noticed the Third Hokage's predicament of almost running out of chakra and sneered, "Satori-sensei, are you planning to give up?"
"Now that you're on the verge of death, as the Third Hokage, do you really have the power to save this village? My subordinates and even the ninjas from the Sand Village have invaded. The plan to destroy Konoha is about to succeed."
"Hidden Shadow Serpent Limbs!"
After Orochimaru mocked the Third Hokage, a giant python sprang from his sleeve and swiftly lunged to bite at the Third Hokage's neck.
"The Lion's Mane Technique!"
Just as the python was about to bite the neck of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, a head of white hair suddenly appeared from afar and wrapped around the python's body.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful force erupted from the white hair, tightly coiling around and shredding the python.
Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the newcomer and said, "Jiraiya, it's been a long time."
Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "It really was quite a scene, Orochimaru. Your eyes are still so evil."
Seeing Jiraiya arrive, the Third Hokage could no longer withstand his injuries and fainted.
Orochimaru looked around and noticed that more and more Anbu ninjas were rapidly gathering around the battlefield.
The defenses of Konoha Village are rapidly assembling in preparation for his invasion, and his plan to destroy Konoha is likely to be thwarted.
After weighing the situation, Orochimaru made a decision. He said to Jiraiya, "Although I am very unwilling, this operation plan has to end here. Until we meet again, Jiraiya."
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Jiraiya said coldly, "Don't even think about running away, Orochimaru!"
"Ten Thousand Snake Formation!" Orochimaru lowered his body and spat out a large number of snakes, but his target was not Jiraiya, but the Third Hokage behind Jiraiya.
Seeing this, Jiraiya abandoned his pursuit of Orochimaru and instead focused his attention on protecting the Third Hokage.
"Ninjutsu: Needle Jizo!"
Jiraiya hardened his long silver hair with chakra, wrapping it around his entire body, and released Needle Hell to pierce through the approaching swarm of snakes.
While Jiraiya unleashed his Needle Hell technique, successfully repelling the snake swarm's attack, and focused his attention on protecting the Third Hokage, Orochimaru seized the opportunity to lead the Sound Four away from the battlefield.
After quickly dealing with the snakes, Jiraiya immediately went to Boruto's side. He saw that Boruto was struggling to suppress the Second Hokage, so he immediately stepped forward to help.
Meanwhile, the sealing ninjas, having received notification of the situation from the Anbu, finally arrived at the scene. They quickly took action, using pre-prepared sealing techniques to seal the Second Hokage.
Although the sealing process was slow, the Second Hokage was eventually successfully sealed away.
Boruto looked at Jiraiya and said, "18+ Sage, why are you so late? Is the Third Hokage alright?"
"The Third Hokage was taken back by the Anbu for treatment," Jiraiya replied. "Many Sound Ninja and Sand Ninja have come from outside the village, and they even summoned a giant snake, making things a bit more complicated."
At that moment, a loud bang came from afar, and Jiraiya and Boruto both looked towards the other side of the battlefield.
Gamaken and a group of Anbu ninjas were engaged in a fierce battle with the First Hokage. The loud noise coming from afar was the result of their battle with the First Hokage.
Jiraiya immediately led Boruto and the sealing ninjas to the other side of the battlefield, where they managed to seal the First Hokage as well.
Jiraiya gritted his teeth as he looked at the sealed Hokage before him: "That damned Orochimaru, he actually fooled the dead."
When the reincarnated person is sealed, only their actions can be stopped; their soul remains trapped.
In the forest far from Konoha, Naruto and Gamabunta defeated Gaara, who had used the Sleeping Technique to transform into Shukaku, thus ending the Konoha Crush plan.
