[Roar!]
Shukaku let out a thunderous roar, the chilling Chakra unique to the Tailed Beasts soared into the sky, and the wild waves of energy swept through the entire venue.
Some fearful high officials and nobles were knocked unconscious by the force of that impulse.
"This is a Tailed Beast?"
"Why is the tailed beast of Sunagakure here?"
"Damn it, are the Sunagakure Shinobis planning to attack Konoha?"
Countless Konoha Shinobi were shocked.
At the same time...
Orochimaru grabbed the Third Hokage and ascended to the rooftop, followed closely by his subordinates, the Sound Four: Sakon and Ukon, Tayuya, Kidōmaru, and Jirōbō, who all removed their disguises and formed hand seals.
Four invisible barrier walls enveloped the entire area where the two were about to fight...
The sudden eruption of the battle between the Hokage and the 'Kazekage' caught everyone present off guard.
Some nobles instinctively shouted and tried to escape, causing the exits to become congested. Other guests from different shinobi villages also gathered together without hesitation.
Realizing that this attack was orchestrated by Sunagakure and Otogakure, they immediately retreated to protect the nobles of their own countries while avoiding a clash between the shinobi of Sunagakure, Otogakure, and Konoha.
They wouldn't let Konoha use them as cannon fodder!
However, Yakushi Kabuto quickly launched a genjutsu, hypnotizing all the spectators.
"Hey, what's going on?" Because Kabuto deliberately avoided Naruto, so he was not affected by the genjutsu.
But his mental state at this time was obviously not so calm and he was somewhat nervous.
"The shinobis of Sunagakure and Otogakure are preparing to attack Konoha!" Sasuke widened his eyes, his Sharingan appearing.
Compared to Naruto, he was much calmer. His pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan accurately captured the enemy's figure.
"What should we do, Natsuo?" he calmly asked, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
These were enemies. Although he had sparred with Neji, Naruto, and others, he had never fought against enemy shinobis before. Although he was asking, his eyes were eager for battle.
"Then let's play around with the shinobis of Sunagakure and Otogakure at the edge of the battlefield." Natsuo chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned.
This level of battlefield was only suitable for these two little ones to treat as practice.
"Should we retreat first?" Sasuke calmly said. "We can't defeat that monster across from us, can we?"
He was referring to Gaara. Although Sasuke has made significant progress in strength, he now understands the opponent's strength and won't recklessly charge forward.
"It's fine." Natsuo smiled and said: "Someone will take care of it soon."
The next moment, both of them saw Neji, who was sitting in the participants' seats, running forward.
He arrived in front of Shukaku along with Kakashi and Might Guy. The latter, being Jōnin Elites, naturally carried the heaviest responsibility. The moment Shukaku broke out, they did not hesitate to move forward and tangle with this colossal creature.
"Are you a Genin participating in this competition?" Kakashi noticed Neji's actions and frowned. "Are Genin these days all so reckless?"
"Kid, this big guy is not an opponent that a Genin can handle!"
"You retreat quickly! Leave this to us!"
Suddenly...
Shukaku roared in anger, and his arm rushed downwards.
Kakashi, Might Guy, and the others were about to take action.
Suddenly, they saw Neji rushing forward, directly meeting Shukaku's arm at the forefront. He twisted his body and used the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven.
[Bang!]
Shukaku's arm was forcefully pushed away.
"As a Konoha shinobi, I can also help protect the village."
Neji stopped his figure, a smile on his lips.
At this moment, there are countless high-level Konoha shinobi here. Neji, who wants to gain reputation. Would he find any other occasion more suitable than this?
Neji's actions seemed dangerous, but in fact, there was no risk at all. Although Shukaku is a tailed beast and is difficult to control when it goes berserk, at this time, it is still under Gaara's control and won't go on a rampage.
There are high-ranking officials and nobles everywhere, and Gaara is not crazy enough to want to eliminate them all, which would cause everyone to hate him and bring disaster to Sunagakure.
Gaara will cooperate with the shinobi of Konoha and voluntarily leave this place to truly unleash his fury outside the examination grounds.
Not only Gaara, but also the shinobi of Sunagakure and Otogakure, after they go berserk, will gradually move the battlefield outside the examination venue while cooperating with the Konoha Shinobi.
"To think there is a Jōnin-level..." Kakashi was stunned. He didn't expect this examinee, Neji, to be so strong.
Then he decisively said: "Alright, you take care of yourself!"
The Jōnin-level experts can now no longer make the excuse of holding back the tailed beast and have to try to rescue the Third Hokage. They can't say they have to stay to protect the younger generation.
However, despite everything, Kakashi also decided to pay more attention to this 'genius' and if possible, prevent him from dying prematurely here.
Not only Kakashi, but even Hyūga Hiashi, stopped from luring the enemy out of the examination room when he saw Neji's actions. He decided to annihilate the enemy here and take care of his nephew at the same time.
Meanwhile, Natsuo was pulling Sasuke and Naruto to level up in the outer ring, while his gaze was directed towards the outer side.
"Sure enough, he's back. It's within my expectations, but he appeared a bit early..."
"Huh, why is he coming this way? Shouldn't he be dealing with the enemies on the outskirts?"
"Never mind, I'll go and take a look..."
...
At this moment, Konoha was in complete chaos.
The attacks from the shinobis of Sunagakure and Otogakure were not limited to just the examination hall.
Several giant snakes were summoned and forcefully broke through the outer walls of Konoha.
The shinobis of Sunagakure and Otogakure entered through the breach, but the Konoha shinobis quickly reacted and confronted the enemies, buying time for the evacuation to the shelter.
For a while, there was a constant roar of various ninjutsu in Konoha Village.
Some outsiders who were visiting Konoha during the Chūnin Exams couldn't help but start looting.
However, there were always unlucky individuals who targeted people they shouldn't provoke.
"You old geezer, hand over your money quickly, or else... Ah!"
A rough-looking old man with white hair grabbed the head of the unknown wandering shinobi and slammed it hard against the wall.
[Bang!]
A muffled sound. The wandering shinobi immediately passed out.
"Orochimaru, is this your plan? Are you really going to attack our teacher...?" Jiraiya looked at the exam site, his eyes filled with a mixture of complexity and sadness.
He hesitated for a moment, feeling the uncontrolled snakes inside Konoha and then looking at the exam venue not far from him. In the end, he decided to run towards the exam venue.
Konoha has a deep base. He was surprised this time, and the snakes were allowed to wreak havoc to buy time for the villagers to evacuate.
Once the evacuation was over, expert shinobi would immediately come to the rescue. A few snakes were nothing to worry about.
And he really wants to see Orochimaru again. And see his master for the last time.
Without hesitation, he headed straight for the venue, occasionally encountering some Konoha shinobi along the way.
Some young shinobis instinctively wanted to attack this person of unknown origin, but before they could act, they were stopped by older individuals.
"This is our Konoha's Sannin, Jiraiya-sama. What are you trying to do, kid?"
"Jiraiya-sama has returned to Konoha!"
"That's great! With him here, Konoha will be safe and protected!"
As the master of the Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya, even though he has been away from Konoha for a long time, still commands great respect.
With a serious expression on his face, he headed straight to the exam venue.
But he hadn't arrived yet. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness.
"You're actually here too. Judging from the direction, you were originally planning to go to the Uchiha clan's residence, but changed course midway to come here..."
"Well, there are several new clubs there. With your style, of course you would want to experience them first."
"That was my mistake."
Natsuo approached with calm steps, while speaking.
In the Naruto Series, during the Chūnin exams, Jiraiya was led astray either by traces left by Orochimaru or by a girl playing in the mountains. It was not until Konoha was in total chaos due to the attack of the Shinobis of Sunagakure and Otogakure that all the shinobi clans realized that the situation was getting out of control and their experts began to act. Only then did Jiraiya rush over and suppress several large snakes in one fell swoop.
But now, the renowned Uchiha Club seems to have caught the attention of even this 'sage', causing him to intervene in the conflict prematurely.
This disrupted Konoha's plan for collapse. Others may not be able to break through the Four Violet Flames Formation's barrier, but he might!
It's all because of our captivating Uchiha Club!
"Who are you?" Jiraiya's face turned serious, and his eyes narrowed.
But he soon noticed the unique Akatsuki uniform on Natsuo. His face is partially hidden by the high collar of his coat and a bamboo hat that covers his head, casting a subtle shadow over his features. Despite this, two crimson red eyes are visible through the shadow.
"Wait, that outfit, and those eyes..."
"Are you Uchiha Itachi?"
That's right! Once again, Natsuo disguised himself as Itachi again.
Jiraiya's pupils contracted. He had once tracked Orochimaru and naturally knew about Orochimaru's affiliation with Akatsuki and the information about Itachi.
But he quickly calmed down.
"No, you're not Uchiha Itachi. So, who are you exactly?"
Jiraiya's expression was serious. He didn't know the true relationship between Itachi and Konoha, as he had been away for many years when the Uchiha clan was annihilated.
But as a skilled shinobi, he could see the traces of Transformation Technique on Natsuo.
Although he couldn't discern the true identity beneath the Transformation Technique, it also denied the fact that he was Itachi.
"I am Uchiha Itachi." Natsuo smiled. "Or would Jiraiya-sama like to verify it personally?"
In the next second, his pupils changed. The pattern of a windmill appeared in his eyes.
'The Mangekyō Sharingan!'
