Naruto's water escape is the strongest

Chapter 76 The Tranquility Before the Storm

Three poles in the sun.purse

July is full of fire, the sun is shining brightly in the sky, and the red sun is scorching.

The last chuunin exam was in full swing, with climaxes coming one after another.

The possible attack from Orochimaru is getting closer and closer.Konoha, this giant war beast, seems to have smelled the smell of war. It is working hard, narrowing its eyes, and quietly accumulating strength. Just waiting for the intruder to appear, it will fight back fiercely!

On the wall of Konoha, chuunin and jounin formed small teams and were stationed at various nodes. They were vigilantly guarding and formed a tight line of defense.

The Byakugan ninjas and sentient ninjas of the Hyuga family are scattered at various key nodes.Their warning range can reach several kilometers, and they are intertwined into a network, forming an airtight warning circle.

Behind the warning circle, there is a defense network built with secret ninjas as the bones, jounin combat power as the muscles, supplemented by a large number of ordinary chuunin and seven special types.

Coupled with the defensive barrier surrounding the entire village, it can be said that the sky net is vast and sparse.

If an ordinary Kage-level ninja dared to break in rashly, he would probably be like a bug caught in a spider web, bound everywhere, unable to escape even though he struggled, and eventually ended up being captured alive.

The background of the leader of the five great ninja villages is fully revealed here.

Even in the years when the Sannin were absent and Konoha had no other Kage-level powerhouses except for the aging Third Generation, other ninja villages still did not dare to stroke the tiger's beard. This was also an important reason.

For the older generation of Konoha ninjas, it has been many years since they saw such a prepared Konoha.

Even in several brutal world wars, even the most adept at raiding ninjas, Konoha was rarely attacked in its hinterland at the height of its power.

Only when the front line was tight and the rear was extremely empty, would Xiao Xiao try to raid the core of Konoha across thousands of miles, and without exception, their plots were easily crushed by the Third Hokage and the complete defense system in Konoha.

At that time, Konoha was flourishing with luxuriant branches, strong soldiers and horses, and was flourishing.

At this time, Konoha, the old, the weak, the women and children, were in decline, and the rivers were declining.

The great reputation of the past is now just a layer of paper wrapped around the body, with gold and jade on the outside.

As a result, facing a mere Kage-level traitorous ninja, one had to shrink the defense line, huddle within Konoha, and rely on the advantage of the terrain to resist.

However, even experienced ninjas were not sure how effective this would be.

Orochimaru was different from other invading enemies. He was once a shadow-level strongman in the village. He had access to many secrets of Konoha. He knew all the shortcomings and loopholes in Konoha's defense system.

It’s easy to stop foreign ghosts, but hard to guard against domestic thieves.That's the truth.

Akai was thinking this in his mind while leading the patrol.

Although he looks rough, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand anything or can't think about anything.As an elite jounin, he is certainly not a brainless muscle-brained ninja, although many people think so.

He just behaves a little bit differently.

After Kakashi went to the Chunin Examination venue, he led two ANBU teams alone to continue the inspection mission to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.

Although Konoha's defense system is said to be perfect, Orochimaru, who is familiar with this system, dare not guarantee that it is foolproof, so he must rack his brains to think about where there are possible loopholes and where there are hidden dangers, and investigate them one by one.

When passing by a tall tower, he looked back at the ANBU who were starting to pant slightly, and then took the lead and jumped to the top of the tower.

"Take a rest first."

Akai said lukewarmly.

The view from the top of the tower is very good. Looking out, you can see the mountains in the distance through the tall surrounding walls.Looking back, Konoha's buildings, large and small, were crawling underfoot, and the venue for the Chuunin Examination was vaguely visible.

The ANBU followed closely behind.

He sat in a circle around the top of the tower, taking out high-energy food to replenish his physical strength and eating it in small bites while looking at Konoha at his feet.

The so-called rest time should be a time for small talk to soothe the spirit, avoid nerve tension and numbness, and prepare for the next tense battle.But no one had the desire to speak, and all nine people fell silent for a while.

"Senior Akai, what kind of person is Orochimaru?"

While he was resting in silence, a female ninja with long flowing hair and a graceful figure suddenly asked, her voice soft and sweet, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Orochimaru...

Akai was silent.It took a while before he answered: "He was once a disciple of the Third Hokage, a ninja who was called the Sannin along with Jiraiya and Tsunade. Later, he defected to Konoha..."

Why Orochimaru defected is something that is difficult for Akai to explain clearly.

Probably we have to start with the inheritance of the Fourth Hokage.

When Sarutobi saw that the Sannin and the new generation of ninjas had grown up, he intentionally stepped back and transferred power to the young people.This decision must be said to have the courage of a generation of forbearance heroes, who can afford to take it but let it go.

Among the most prestigious people at that time to become the next Hokage, the Sannin had the greatest hope.However, Tsunade's heart disease of hemophobia could not be cured. Jiraiya was careless and had no sense of responsibility to be Hokage, and he himself did not want to be Hokage.Sarutobi's favorite candidate at the time was undoubtedly Orochimaru.

Contrary to expectations, Orochimaru actually exposed the fact that he cooperated with Danzo to develop forbidden techniques, and harmed many innocent villagers for this.The Third Hokage sadly discovered that Orochimaru had completely opposite ideas to his. He suddenly changed from the successor of the Third Generation's political line to an opponent, and committed appalling crimes.

Master and apprentice turned against each other overnight.

On the eve of relinquishing the burden of being the Hokage, Sarutobi led a team to raid Orochimaru's secret research institute. He was supposed to kill him on the spot to punish his crimes and eliminate hidden dangers for Konoha, but he softened his mind when he started. , only to expel him from the village.

After that, he passed the position of Hokage to Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya's apprentice and Kakashi's teacher, a young man with a high reputation.

"In short, since then, Orochimaru has harbored a grudge against the Third Hokage and Konoha..."

Akai said in a deep voice.

"So is he here for revenge?" another ANBU asked.

"Eighty percent right. Maybe I want to take this opportunity to snatch the treasures hidden in Konoha..."

The so-called treasure refers to Sasuke, but Kai didn't say it clearly.There is really no need to say more.

The ANBU who did not know the inside story were allowed to misunderstand the various forbidden and secret techniques reserved for Konoha.

Akai didn't want to say anything, so someone changed the subject: "Why did he come to take revenge now?"

For a while no one answered.

Orochimaru chose this time to take revenge, naturally because Konoha's strength had dropped to such a low point that even the Sand Ninja had seen the clues and was ready to take action.

However, this is really an embarrassing topic: since the sacrifice of the fourth generation and the departure of the three ninjas, no new Kage-level ninja has been born in the huge Konoha for more than ten years. The old man stood in front of the stage.

In this sense, every one of the chuunin jounin present is a group of people who are not living up to expectations.

So the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Seeing that he had said something wrong, the man laughed and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, the new students taking the exam this year are all very powerful!"

"Well, Senior Akai's subordinates are very powerful. Xiao Li and Neji are already at the chuunin level!" The woman with long black hair from before took up the topic.

When talking about his disciples, Akai felt much more relaxed.

Tsunade has returned to the village, and Lee's injuries are expected to heal.And Neji has also opened up his heart. He has become a lot more cheerful recently and is not as gloomy as before.This also made him let go of two stones in his heart.

Although both Xiao Li and Neji failed to advance to the third exam, he was a little regretful.

When the topic came to this point, the atmosphere became lively.The strength of these two freshmen is indeed extraordinary. They are a very interesting and promising generation.

So when it comes to Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata and others, it comes full circle and comes back to Ningci.

"Speaking of which, it's just that Lee was eliminated by Gaara, but Neji was actually defeated by a girl. It's really unexpected!"

"No, no, no, Haruno Sakura is also a ninja in Kakashi's class. She is the ninja who graduated first in her class. She must be quite capable after all!"

"The Ninja School has excellent results, but there are many people who are not good enough. And she is a female ninja. I really can't imagine how she won."

"It's not about any secret skills anyway. I know the Haruno family, they don't have that kind of thing."

"I have watched the video of that match. She is really powerful. She can beat Neji just with her physical skills. It seems that she has grown up. If you are not a waterbender, you may not understand, but that girl is a real Genius!"

The ANBU who spoke emphasized the word "real" very strongly.

These words were so conclusive that the people who were refuted could not continue.

If Haruno Sakura is not strong, then what is the defeated Neji?If it is very strong, this deviates from their usual common sense.

It was Kai who took over the topic: "There's no need to argue. I know all the students in Kakashi's class. Haruno Sakura is the strongest among the three of them. Neji is not as strong as her. It's normal to lose to her."

Akai knew very well that with Neji's growth rate, it would not be difficult to advance to Jonin within two or three years. However, Haruno Sakura was already considered a Jonin.

Without relying on blood inheritance or family secrets, this girl relied entirely on her own efforts to reach her current strength step by step.

Unlike Naruto, Sasuke, Neji and others.

She is a true genius.A strong man who transcends the narrow blood inheritance and secret arts.

He is probably blooming on the stage of the Chuunin Exam now!

Akai looked at the examination venue from a distance and thought leisurely.

But he saw a signal flare curling up, exploding in mid-air, and scattering into conspicuous fireworks.

The talking stopped suddenly, and in just a few seconds, all the ANBU packed up their belongings and got ready to go!

The attack...has begun!
