Hearing the conversation between the two, the faces of the Konoha ninja present turned somewhat unsightly.
Hiruzen looked at them with a heavy gaze and said in a deep voice, "Sōsuke, just for a scroll of ninjutsu, you would choose to help those who have destroyed Konoha?"
Hiruzen's voice did not carry a sense of panic; instead, it held an indescribable weight.
In response, Sōsuke looked at him, his smile slightly fading as they locked eyes.
After a long gaze, Sōsuke's eyes slightly lowered, and he began to speak slowly.
"If I remember correctly, the concept of the ninja village was proposed by the First Hokage."
"Up to now, it seems the wars across the ninja world have not ceased because of the establishment of ninja villages. Instead, vile assassinations are everywhere, and local battles are endless."
"It's really... a laughable system..."
"Lord Third, I'm grateful you once saved my life, and I really like the village of Konoha... but..."
At this point, Sōsuke gently raised his pale hand, looking down at it, and continued.
"Having this power, I do not intend to continue following the failed system of the predecessors."
He looked up, his gaze filled with confidence and resilience as he looked at Hiruzen, softly saying, "When the new era arrives, this outdated system will be completely obliterated."
"By then, in my reign, as long as I do not wish for war, anyone who goes against my will has only one choice."
With that, he uttered a word indifferently.
"Death....."
Hearing Sōsuke's words, everyone present was stunned, staring at him blankly.
The leaders of the Uchiha clan, the Hyūga clan, and members of other ninja families had already arrived on the scene, all looking at Sōsuke in astonishment.
Whether it was the ninja of Konoha or the ninja of Iwagakure, they all appeared incredulous.
Himiko's eyes widened in shock upon hearing Sōsuke's ideas, her heart filled with surprise and complexity.
Jiraiya looked downcast, feeling powerless and hating himself for not being able to stop Sōsuke.
Hiruzen seemed to age a decade in an instant, his murky eyes complexly fixed on Sōsuke, and said in a deep voice, "Are you placing yourself against the entire ninja world... Sōsuke..."
Hearing Hiruzen's words, Sōsuke's face showed a confident smile, softly saying, "Such an interesting affair... is not unwelcome..."
To this, Hiruzen sighed deeply but then his gaze sharpened, saying sternly, "Then, let me, the sinner of Konoha, be the first to stand against you on behalf of the ninja world!"
Hiruzen's gaze was filled with determination, and hearing his words, the Konoha ninja, though hesitant and doubtful, raised their kunai, aiming at Sōsuke and the Iwagakure ninja on the field.
Seeing this, Sōsuke showed no fear, instead, he chuckled lightly, saying, "You should know that with your power alone, you cannot stop me, Third Hokage."
Just as he finished speaking, a sinister voice slowly rose in the distance.
"What if... you add me to the equation!"
A man dressed in a kimono, with a scar across his chin and short black hair, who was none other than the leader of Konoha's Anbu Root, Danzō Shimura, approached slowly.
Glancing at the newcomer, a hint of amusement flashed in Sōsuke's eyes as he softly said, "So it's Teacher Danzō, I didn't expect you to come as well."
Approaching the scene, Danzō's face was incredibly somber, his cold gaze fixed on Sōsuke as he said sternly, "Traitor!"
To this, Sōsuke did not retort but softly said, "In the end, the plan cannot be completed, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Mentioning this, the rage in Danzō's eyes intensified, but he could not openly express his frustration, only continuing to watch Sōsuke coldly.
At this time, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Shikaku, and the severely injured Dai also arrived at the scene.
Looking at the situation on the field, everyone was startled, not understanding why Sōsuke would stand together with the Tsuchikage and the Iwagakure ninja.
Sōsuke, with a smile on his face, looked at the Konoha ninja arriving at the scene, one familiar face after another, and couldn't help but softly say, "What a grand farewell party... Don't you think so... Lord Third?"
Hearing his words, Hiruzen replied with a heavy voice, "In Konoha, the friendship between comrades is an invaluable treasure, and this is also the Will of Fire!"
"I thought you possessed this will, but it seems... I was mistaken..."
"If that's the case, I can only choose to leave you here, to prevent any future harm to the entire ninja world!"
As he finished speaking, Danzō took a step forward.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...
Dozens of Root ninja dressed in white robes and masked appeared on the scene, all coldly watching Sōsuke and the Tsuchikage.
Seeing this, Sōsuke chuckled, "It seems all of Konoha's resources have been concentrated here, quite the impressive turnout..."
Observing more and more Konoha ninja gathering, Onoki's expression became somber. Glancing at Sōsuke, who remained composed, he said in a deep voice, "Hey, kid, if we continue to delay, more Konoha ninja will arrive! Find a way to break through here quickly!"
After speaking, he looked seriously at Hiruzen and Danzō, "Leave the Third Hokage and this guy to me. You just need to help the Iwagakure ninja deal with those regular ninja."
Hearing Onoki's words, Sōsuke smiled and nodded, softly saying, "Of course."
As his words fell, the battle was about to erupt!
Danzō quickly formed hand seals, and fiercely projected forward.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!"
Hiruzen also completed his hand seals, his chest expanded as he took a deep breath and then exhaled.
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Ash Destruction Technique!"
In the air, a large air bullet shot past, followed by a huge fire dragon!
Both jutsus charged towards Sōsuke and Onoki!
Seeing this, Sōsuke, expressionless, waved his hand gently.
"Bakudō #81. Dankū!"
A transparent barrier suddenly appeared in front of Sōsuke and the Tsuchikage.
"Bang!"
The large air bullet was the first to hit, causing a loud noise as it suddenly shattered, sending numerous air currents slicing through the surroundings!
"Boom!!"
The approaching fire dragon, in these suddenly increased air currents, inflated instantaneously, with the flames becoming extremely turbulent!
The entire body of flames seemed to have increased several times in an instant!
The intense flames, though separated by a transparent barrier, looked terrifying but were ineffective.
This scene not only caused Hiruzen and Danzō to frown but even Onoki was slightly surprised by Sōsuke, thinking to himself.
This kid, not only possesses illusion and physical prowess!
Even such defensive ninjutsu is incredibly powerful; truly no simple matter...
But he didn't stop there; his hands quickly formed seals and fiercely slapped the ground.
"Earth Release: Stone Golem Technique!"
As his words fell, a massive stone giant instantaneously rose from the ground!
