Chapter 585: Maru Shou Kukei!
Chapter 585: Maru Shou Kukei!
Black liquid!
It was flowing out from the palace-like structure above the spectator stand, spreading towards the lower spectator area.
Black oil!
Not many people knew about this substance before.
But ever since it was discovered that it could be refined into airship gas and other materials, it had become 'liquid gold'.
Various powers had fought over it to the point of bloodshed; there was no way they wouldn't recognize it.
One of its most significant uses was that it was 'combustible', although its flammability was far inferior to that of the refined product, its destructive power was still formidable.
If the black oil were allowed to spread across the arena and then ignited, these tens of thousands of spectators would have no chance of survival, and the trouble would be immense.
"Quick, save the people!"
"Get the spectators out of the arena!"
...
The Konoha side immediately panicked.
At that moment, Tobi, standing in the corner, formed a hand seal and muttered:
"Decayed Konoha, be purified in the blazing fire!"
After saying this, he turned and left.
This incident was too big; he dared not stay in Konoha any longer. If he were caught, they would literally eat him alive.
Boom!
A scroll bomb located on a high platform at the source of the black oil was detonated.
Ordinary fire sticks and torches might not be able to ignite this unrefined black oil.
But a scroll bomb, which was equivalent to a high-level Water Jutsu, was a different matter.
Whoosh!!!
The rapidly spreading flames transformed the flowing black oil into a waterfall of fire cascading downwards.
It's over!
The Konoha ninjas had this thought in their minds.
Even if they moved as fast as possible, they would never be able to rescue so many people quickly before the flames engulfed everything.
"Water Jutsu: Water Barrier Wall!"
An aged voice rang out, followed by a towering wall of water.
Whoosh!
Countless streams of water gathered, forming a flowing wall of water several dozen meters high and hundreds of meters wide, firmly blocking the descending waterfall of flames.
Terrifying Water Jutsu!
It almost made one think that the man who had 'signed a contract with the ocean' had returned.
Second Hokage!
The opponent's most famous technique was Water Jutsu, and he was even the type to oppress the Hidden Mist Village.
At this moment, Tang Ping also stopped pretending.
He stood up and looked at the person who had performed this Water Jutsu.
An old man with a black pot on his back, resembling a common farmer, and not even wearing a ninja headband.
"So it's him!"
Tang Ping immediately remembered who the person was.
The black pot the opponent carried indeed left a deep impression, making it hard to forget.
"Who is this?"
Uchiha Yae was full of confusion.
She also stood up to watch the spectacle.
After all, the flames were about to cover the area, and it would be too embarrassing for them to let the Konoha people carry them out.
"Maru Shou Kukei, a Konoha Genin!"
Tang Ping introduced with a hint of meaning in his eyes.
Yes, the opponent was a Genin.
A genuine one!
"You're saying he's a Genin?"
Hyuga Tsukimi, who had also stood up, found it hard to accept.
The opponent's Water Jutsu was on the Shadow Level, yet he insisted on calling him a Genin. Was he treating everyone as blind?
"In Konoha, Jonin and Shadow Level are just empty titles; Genin is the strongest existence!"
Tang Ping glanced meaningfully in the direction where Naruto and Sasuke had left.
At the Genin level, Naruto's strength was beyond question. Sasuke had been a Genin before his desertion, and it was natural that he wouldn't advance in rank afterward. Additionally, there was the previous White-Eyed Wolf and the later Might Dai, all following the rhythm of Genin saving the world.
"..."
Uchiha Yae's eyes twitched, unsure of what to say.
The fact was right before their eyes; this Genin indeed possessed Shadow Level Water Jutsu, and this Water Barrier Wall could even be said to belong to a strong Shadow Level expert.
"Quick!"
"Save the people fast!"
"First, get those spectators near the flames out!"
...
The other Konoha ninjas weren't fools either; they all hurried to rescue the spectators.
Although this fire was extremely dangerous to ordinary people, for ninjas, it only took a Teleportation Technique to leave the arena.
But evacuating the unconscious spectators was a bit troublesome.
So, the maximum number of people they could bring along was one or two at most, and it was impossible to bring several people at once.
And it was quite exhausting!
As for Tang Ping and his group, now that they were awake, they had to show some initiative.
After all, in terms of their relationship, Tenkudo was currently an affiliate of Konoha.
Even though Konoha and the Daimyo had worked together to sideline them, they hadn't openly turned against each other, so naturally, they wouldn't either.
"Quick, save them!"
"Don't let these people die here!"
"For Konoha!"
...
Under the command of Uchiha Yae, the Tenkudo side also put on a convincing act, looking every bit like they were helping Konoha.
As for who was 'unconscious' earlier, no one dared to say, and no one dared to ask.
With their help, the rescue operation progressed much faster.
Strangely, none of them thought of going to help Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Even when Gai wanted to help, Kakashi said, 'Gai, the Hokage is the strongest Hokage. We have to believe he can defeat the enemy.'"
Hmm, it was as if they were eager for the other side to die.
However, Tang Ping didn't want Sarutobi Hiruzen to die just yet.
If he died now, it would only benefit the other side. Dying as the 'hero' protecting the village would leave a bitter taste in everyone's mouths.
Tang Ping couldn't bear to see that.
Moreover, if the other side died, it wouldn't be good news for Tenkudo.
The biggest help in Tenkudo's development was the assistance of the 'Leaf F4'.
If the other side were no longer in power or had reduced authority, it wouldn't be good news for Tenkudo.
For these reasons, Tang Ping didn't want to see Sarutobi Hiruzen die.
At the very least, he shouldn't die as a 'hero'.
So, he disappeared from his original position.
And in the team, Hyuga Tsukikage instantly transformed into his appearance.
As for herself?
She had a naturally weak presence, and even though she had been sitting in the front row earlier, no one had paid any attention to her. Now, with the situation in chaos, it was even less likely that anyone would notice her existence.
On the other side!
On the roof of the main spectator stand, Sarutobi Hiruzen was currently in a state of rage.
If Orochimaru was only targeting him, he wouldn't be this angry. But seeing what Orochimaru had done, it was clear that he was aiming to completely destroy Konoha, and Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but be furious.
"Orochimaru, is this your 'Konoha Crush' plan?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked calmly.
But his calmness didn't mean he wasn't angry; instead, he was suppressing his anger and killing intent to ensure he could perform at his best in battle.
"Teacher, I said that this time, I will let the decayed Konoha completely collapse!"
Orochimaru's expression remained unchanged, as if everything was under his control.
In reality, he was also somewhat surprised by the current situation.
The black oil on the fire and in the arena wasn't his doing, and it shouldn't be the work of the Sand Ninja... right?
But given his personality, he naturally wouldn't explain and instead accepted it as it was.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Four figures suddenly appeared on the roof and then performed hand seals to cast a jutsu.
"Four Purple Flame Array!"
A square purple barrier enveloped a large area of the roof.
However, they didn't notice that there was a spot on the roof where the light was a bit blurry, as if a massive object was hidden there.
But at this moment, both sides were locked in a battle of wills and gaze, so they naturally wouldn't notice this.
"Hokage-sama!"
Several Anbu who had followed and jumped onto the roof called out anxiously.
"You guys go protect the village. Leave this place to me. I must personally rectify the mistake I made in the past!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen gave his instructions.
He indicated that he wanted to take on his unfilial disciple alone.
"Yes!"
The Anbu, even if they were reluctant, had no choice but to obey the order.
For a ninja, obedience was the most important quality.
At the same time, they also had confidence in Sarutobi Hiruzen, believing that dealing with Orochimaru wouldn't be a problem for him.
Unfortunately, Orochimaru, at the start, gave Tang Ping, who was hiding in the barrier, a hard time.
