Because during the Chunin Exams elimination rounds, dignitaries from the Land of Fire will also be present.
Therefore, during this period, Konoha Village appeared relaxed on the outside but was actually under tight control, with the Anbu members working like dogs.
Cao Ya is one of the few members of the Dark Division who have a leisurely lifestyle.
However, he received orders from Danzo to minimize his outings in the coming days and not to take any action without authorization, regardless of any disturbances he might hear.
This command is a bit special.
It seems Danzo knew what was going to happen next, so he gave Root members a strict order in advance not to go out!
He seems to be creating a lenient environment for Orochimaru to launch the Konoha Crush plan.
"Besides Orochimaru and the Fourth Kazekage, Danzo was also involved in this Konoha Crush plan?" Cao Ya sneered. Danzo really went to great lengths for the Hokage position.
Unfortunately, his plans all fell through.
The Fifth Hokage was Tsunade Senju!
Danzo was on the wrong path from the start.
The Root organization controlled too many geniuses, whether they were commoners or ninja clans. Many of them were forcibly taken away by Danzo and controlled by the Tongue Disaster Root Seal.
Although these actions were tacitly approved by the Third Hokage, it was you, Danzo, who carried them out!
He offended all the forces in Konoha, from commoner ninjas to clan ninjas—he still wants to become Hokage?
Keep dreaming!
It can be said that from the moment Danzo established Root and began to covet commoner geniuses and ninja clan geniuses, he cut off his own path to becoming Hokage.
Danzo was truly outmaneuvered by Hiruzen Sarutobi his entire life.
"A storm is brewing!"
Cao Ya stepped out of the room. A gentle breeze blew, the trees in the courtyard swayed, and laughter occasionally drifted from outside the wall as people discussed the Chunin Exams.
His eyes were deep and his expression was blank.
“Bringing out Danzo… and the Root base taking action will be disadvantageous for me!” Cao Ya whispered.
******
******
The Chunin Exams elimination rounds were in full swing, and Orochimaru, disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, licked his lips.
"Lord Kazekage, Gaara of Sunagakure is truly outstanding." The Third Hokage exclaimed. He could see that Gaara was the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, but didn't that just demonstrate Gaara's potential?
Orochimaru smiled, too lazy to reply.
Just wait a little longer, teacher, and you'll see what excellence truly means!
The Third Hokage showed a slight change in expression. This Fourth Kazekage was somewhat different from those he had encountered before, and even gave him a strange feeling.
However, the Third Hokage didn't pay much attention to it.
He wasn't familiar with the Fourth Kazekage to begin with, and his understanding of him mostly came from intelligence gathering, so it's normal for there to be some discrepancies.
Moreover, Gaara from Sunagakure is excellent, so are the boys from Konoha any less so?
Sasuke, who fought Gaara, was an orphan of the Uchiha clan!
Uchiha, once the most powerful clan in the ninja world!
The Sharingan, that's a bloodline limit that everyone envies!
Right now, Sasuke and Gaara are fighting fiercely in the arena, locked in a close battle.
"Um?"
Suddenly, a strange change occurred at the Chunin Exams arena.
Most of the audience fell into a deep sleep, as if they were under a spell.
Only a small number of ninjas managed to evade the illusion and remain conscious.
“Lord Kazekage…” The Third Hokage suddenly looked at the Fourth Kazekage, his expression grim.
Just as he was about to question them, he saw the Fourth Kazekage's icy gaze and coldly say, "Let's begin!"
Two figures flashed by, and smoke exploded.
With a deafening roar, a gigantic serpent appeared and wreaked havoc on Konoha.
"This is..." Kakashi, Guy, and the others were shocked.
brush!
The Fourth Kazekage flashed and took the Third Hokage hostage.
Several figures leaped out and stood at the four corners. After the Fourth Kazekage gave the order, the four of them formed hand seals.
Four Purple Flame Formations!
"A barrier..." the Third Hokage said in a deep voice, "I never expected that Sunagakure would betray Konoha."
The Fourth Kazekage coldly stated, "The treaty was merely a smokescreen to lull our opponents into a false sense of security. Now, this pointless game has come to an end... The wheels of history are about to turn..."
"Do you want to start a war?" the Third Hokage demanded.
He hadn't even realized that the Fourth Kazekage was Orochimaru in disguise.
Orochimaru chuckled coldly: "Heh, getting old and senile, Sarutobi-sensei!"
The Third Hokage's pupils contracted.
"you……"
In an instant, a name surfaced in his mind.
Orochimaru!
The sober crowd was in an uproar, and the group of Konoha ninjas were shocked. Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, is now a Konoha rogue ninja!
He actually came back with his life?!
The people of Sunagakure were somewhat bewildered. Orochimaru? What's going on? Where's my Kazekage?
Could it be... that the Kazekage and Orochimaru made another deal? That Orochimaru would impersonate him here while the Kazekage went elsewhere?
On the other side.
Cao Ya remained hidden in the shadows, a knife slung at his waist.
"As expected, Orochimaru launched the Konoha Crush Plan."
"Ah, it's time for me to make my move."
Cao Ya turned around and left.
This Konoha Crush plan will not cause too much damage to Konoha, except for the death of the Third Hokage and the deaths of some ninjas and civilians.
Cao Ya has more important things to do.
The Forest of Death.
brush!
Danzo appeared in the Forest of Death, where the trees were thick and the ground was full of shadows.
"What is Cao Ya up to?" Danzo frowned. He received a special letter from his subordinate. In the letter, Cao Ya said that he had something extremely important to report to him, which concerned the life and death of Root and Konoha, but could not be done at Root base.
The letter specified the Forest of Death.
He wasn't afraid of Cao Ya causing any trouble.
Having applied the seal of the Root of Trouble, Danzo was actually quite at ease with his Root subordinates.
Danzo's eyes turned cold upon hearing the commotion in the village.
"Orochimaru... after you kill Hiruzen, you probably won't have an easy time either. Heh, that's perfect for me. Who in the village can compete with me for the position of Fifth Hokage?" A fiery glint flashed in Danzo's eyes.
The position of Hokage was his obsession!
Ever since the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, designated Hiruzen Sarutobi as the Third Hokage, this obsession has followed him ever since!
"Lord Danzo."
Cao Ya emerged from the depths of the woods, his expression seemingly very respectful.
Danzo glanced at it and snapped, "Tell me quickly, what did you discover? If you're trying to fool me..."
He laughed as he spoke. The Root members all knew his temper. Try to fool him? Ha, what would they want?
Cao Ya suddenly became worried, looking around as if afraid of being discovered by others.
"With me here, who dares to eavesdrop? Speak up!" Danzo shouted, displeased with Cao Ya's cowardly demeanor.
This piece of trash... it seems I need to find a reason to make Cao Ya serve me to the death.
Danzo's eyes were filled with coldness.
"Yes...yes." Cao Ya trembled as he jogged forward, approaching Danzo, and uttered a low voice.
Danzo couldn't help but listen intently.
I said... Go to hell!
Cao Ya drew his long sword with his left hand, which was filled with chakra, and slashed horizontally at Danzo.
His right hand formed a unique palm print, resembling a Buddhist hand gesture.
When Danzo saw Cao Ya suddenly attack him, he was stunned for a moment, and then instantly flew into a rage.
"Cao Ya, you've been controlled by Orochimaru?!"
