Chapter 125: Emiya Kiritsugu gave a thumbs up.
"You, um..."
Watching Akali's departing figure, Kabuto was both anxious and angry.
With his head severed by Akali, he was clearly unable to speak.
As Akali walked away, the golden snake eyes of the resurrected Kabuto Yakushi gradually dimmed.
Finally, the cracks on the reanimated face widened, the colorful skin turned grayish-white, and eventually even that grayish-white skin began to collapse, turning into a pile of paper scraps, revealing the Sound Ninja vessel inside.
Coincidentally, the vessel that Kabuto Yakushi was in was Tos, who had been defeated by Akali before.
As the vessel for Kabuto Yakushi, Tosu also exhibits a considerable degree of snake-like characteristics.
But as it turns out, if you're not truly exceptionally talented, you shouldn't work under Orochimaru; and even if you are incredibly gifted, you still have to consider whether your life is tough enough.
Just like that, Orochi Kabuto, the later boss of the first generation, fell silent amidst the disturbances of fate brought about by the transmigrator.
With Kabuto Yakushi fallen, there's no one left in the Chunin Exams venue who can stop Akali.
Akali casually killed several Sound Ninja and Sand Ninja who blocked her way, and made her way to the center of the Chunin Exams venue, the top-tier viewing platform reserved for dignitaries and also where the Hokage and Kazekage were located.
Strangely enough, there are three stands in the Chunin Exams venue. Currently, the other two stands are bustling with activity, but the top-ranked stand is completely deserted.
Occasionally, a few random ninjas would wander in, and after recognizing their location, they would tacitly retreat and fight in another place, as if there were a rule written there that no fighting was allowed, which was extremely strange.
Akali knew why.
"Power, tsk tsk..."
If Akali were one of those ninjas who lacked strength, or whose strength was insufficient and who could only be bound by the rules, she might have quietly withdrawn as well.
In the world of ninjas, injuring a high-ranking official is a serious crime.
But she isn't.
Therefore, she could walk freely, casually, and even disrespectfully, in this grandstand filled with dignitaries and nobles.
Occasionally, if she sees a few disgusting fat pigs, she can even kick them aside.
[Ding! Emotional value from XXX +9!]
Suddenly kicked awake, the Fire Country official was stunned and even panicked upon seeing the chaotic meeting room.
"What exactly happened?"
Panic shouts gradually rose from the stands, waking up even more people. A group of people ran around the chaotic venue like headless flies.
However, this has nothing to do with the malicious Akali.
Enjoying the tranquility brought by power and prestige from the top-tier grandstand, she strolled leisurely up the passageway.
But as Akali ascended, she suddenly heard several muffled groans, suppressed by pain.
"Hmm, is anyone still here?"
Akali found it strange and quickly jumped to the source of the sound.
"Who is it?!"
Holding the kunai he had just pulled from his body, he turned around with Raiji's alertness.
Then he saw Akali looking at him with a curious expression.
Akali's stunning looks, coupled with her previously circulated reputation as a genius, have made her extremely well-known; basically, every Konoha ninja recognizes her.
So, Namiya Raiichi was taken aback, then relaxed: "It's you..."
"hiss!"
Seemingly aggravating his wound, Raito sat down again and leaned against the wall in the hallway.
"Why are the Chunin Exam candidates here? Leave. This is not a battlefield you can reach. Go find your Jonin leader."
Even at this moment, Raikkonen didn't forget to give Akali a pep talk.
But Akali clearly didn't need his concern: "Alright, with you like this, don't worry about me!"
Akali also remembered that Raiichiro was seriously injured, and it seemed like there was such a thing. The scene of the junior Chunin shouting for the Third Hokage to run away was actually quite funny.
Later, when Raidou Nami participated in the classic battle against Kakuzu, and then his Flying Thunder God Formation in the Fourth Battle made him unforgettable.
It's quite a coincidence that we met here. We might be able to use the Flying Thunder God Technique later.
Akali promptly handed over the red bottle, her hand glowing with a green light that signified healing, instantly healing Namiashi Raido. It was a gift from nature that had luckily landed on Namiashi Raido.
Of course, if his purpose was to use serious injury as an excuse to avoid this great battle, then so be it.
Fortunately, they are not identical.
"Thank you so much!"
Being suddenly cured by someone else, and having the same symptoms as someone else, was obviously quite unexpected.
"It's alright, go find your teammates! If I'm not mistaken, we won't need you guys for the rest of the battle!"
Akali returned his earlier, similar words to him.
"Huh?" Namiya Raito was stunned for a moment.
He's a Chunin, and his current teammate Genma Shiranui is only a Special Jonin. What kind of battle would need these small fry?
They can only play a functional role.
Wait, in terms of functionality...
Flying Thunder God Formation!
But how did Akali know all this?
[Ding! Emotional value from Nami no Raito +999!]
Looking at Akali, both surprised and eager to ask a question.
But Akali clearly couldn't hear his question.
Because Akali disappeared from her spot after giving milk, and then sped up even faster.
Helpless, Raido shook his head and, following Akali's instructions, went to find Genma Shiranui, who was also in the same venue.
Meanwhile, a beautiful figure dressed in K/DA outfits stood outside the Four Purple Flame Formation, side by side with the Konoha Anbu guarding the area.
However, unlike Nami, the Anbu members were clearly not very welcoming of Akali's arrival.
Outside the Four Purple Flame Formation, White Cat, the white-clad dark squad leader of Konoha, frowned, clearly displeased.
"I remember you're one of the candidates taking this exam? What are you doing here? Get down! This isn't a battlefield for you!"
"Seriously, what are these genin doing here? It's utter nonsense! Don't think that just because you have some strength and are a genius you can do whatever you want!"
Judging from her words, the white cat has clearly experienced some unpleasant stories.
“…” Akali glanced at him after hearing what the white-clad ANBU said, but did not express any opinion.
Akali then glanced inside the Four Purple Flame Formation, observing the current progress of the battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru.
The master and disciple, who had been separated for a long time, were still exchanging blows and reminiscing.
"All right!"
Surprisingly, Akali, who is usually unruly, obediently walked down after being reprimanded by the white-clad ANBU.
Seeing this, the white-clad ANBU didn't think much of it, assuming that Akali was worried about the Third Hokage and had come up to take a look.
With the Third Hokage currently holding his own against Orochimaru, Akali felt reassured and returned home.
However, the white-clad ANBU member was clearly too young; he didn't understand that he couldn't handle someone like Akali.
Akali is someone you can only appease by going along with.
Akali originally came up to see what method could be used to break the Four Purple Flame Array, such as whether the shadow could penetrate it, or simply increase the intensity and force a breakthrough.
But now it seems the only option is to create a big news story.
Once back in the top-tier stands, Akali looked into her storage space, which was filled with countless explosive tags.
These explosive tags have been largely unused since she took them out, and now it's time to put them to good use!
"Whee!"
Thinking about the big scene that was about to unfold, Akali took the explosive tag and walked towards the supporting pillar of the top-tier grandstand.
She moved very quickly.
So, just a minute or two later, a panicked Konoha ninja ran onto the roof.
"Oh no! Oh no! Something's happened over there in the stands!"
"Something happened in the stands?"
Hearing the words of this Konoha ninja, the white-clad Anbu member became even more displeased.
Their Hidden Leaf Village is the largest ninja village in the world at that time.
As a result, during the Chunin Exams, he was betrayed by his allies and ambushed by traitors in front of so many daimyo and dignitaries. Not only that, the Hokage was also captured and imprisoned in a barrier for a one-on-one duel, the outcome of which is currently unknown.
All of this has reached the pinnacle of shame.
So, with so many Konoha ninja gathered at the Chunin Exams venue, how could anything happen?
The person in white felt their blood pressure surge instantly.
Looking at the ninja in front of him, he asked angrily, "What happened? Has the area below been taken over by the enemy? What are Kakashi and his Jonin doing? They can't even protect a spectator stand!"
"Huh?" Upon hearing the words of the white-clad Anbu, the arriving Konoha ninja was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head:
"There are no enemies. The enemies in the venue have almost been wiped out by Jonin Kakashi and Might Guy. That's a different matter!"
"Something else? What is it?" Seeing the anxious Konoha ninja, the white-clad ANBU suppressed his emotions.
Of course, it was suppressed, but only for a moment.
because……
"Yes, yes, it's an explosive tag!"
The Konoha ninja roared, panting heavily, his words clearing away all the emotions in the white-clad ANBU's mind.
"The load-bearing pillars of the central grandstand are now covered with a dense array of explosive tags, and those tags are about to explode!"
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing the words of the newcomer, the white-clad member of the secret service felt a chill run down his spine and his body went numb.
The Konoha ninja repeated, "Explosive tags! A large number of explosive tags were plastered all over the load-bearing pillars!"
"Not this one!" The white-clad operative shook his head.
Seeing the white-clad ANBU's reaction, the Konoha ninja tentatively asked, "The central grandstand?"
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
The white-clad members of the secret service realized what was happening.
Isn't the central grandstand right where he stands?
As the stands where the Hokage and Kazekage reside, the audience here are the most distinguished guests; it's said that even a casual splash of water could land on a high-ranking official.
If this explosive tag explodes...
That wouldn't just destroy people, it would destroy Konoha's family tree!
The white-clad members of the dark guild immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
He immediately issued orders to everyone:
"Quickly, everyone, come with me down here and evacuate the VIPs!"
Hearing their leader's orders, the subordinate beside him was not quite sure: "Aren't we going to take care of the three generations of masters anymore?"
"Hey!" The white-clad ANBU member was both angry and anxious: "Third Hokage, even if you didn't do anything, nothing might happen, but if even one of our nobles dies, our ninja careers will be over!"
"Quickly, get moving!"
The white-clad operative was about to head down when he spoke.
But then a voice stopped him: "No need, I've already moved all those people!"
The white-clad assassin turned around and was startled: "It's you?"
“Yes, it’s me!” Akali smiled slightly.
"But you're just one person, how did you manage to move so many high-ranking officials and nobles?" The white-clad secret agent didn't understand.
"That's easy!"
Akali threw a kunai that landed at the feet of the white-clad ANBU.
The next second, the white-clad ANBU's eyes blurred, and Akali appeared above the kunai, standing on the rooftop with the kunai on her feet.
"Flying Thunder God!!?" The white-clad ANBU's pupils contracted.
He had seen the Flying Thunder God before and wouldn't mistake him, but he never expected that the Flying Thunder God would appear in front of him again like this.
Then, the surprise turned into a deep sense of delight.
Because the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the stands were spared, his career in the secret service was also saved.
"Good, good, good! This time, I will definitely ask the Hokage to do you a favor!" the white-robed Anbu said with delight.
However, he didn't notice Akali's strange expression: "Taking credit? Hahaha, no need for that!"
"I came up here to inform you to evacuate!"
"What do you mean?" The white-clad secret agent didn't understand.
"It's simple? Just say that I set up the explosive tags!"
Akali calmly uttered the words that shocked everyone: "I will dispel the barrier and rescue the Hokage!"
This is Akali's main objective.
Orochimaru and the Third Hokage fought too weakly and too amiably in the Four Purple Flames Formation; it wasn't a real fight at all.
How could a battle between two Kage-level fighters be resolved on a rooftop?
If they don't come out and make a big splash, how can they live up to such a big stage?
Hearing Akali's words, the white-clad ANBU were dumbfounded: "Release the barrier? How do you release the barrier with your explosive tags?"
"It's very simple! Look at that barrier!"
Akali pointed to the Four Purple Sun Formation, a pale purple barrier that sealed off the sky wall but left the tiled roof exposed: "Isn't the ground unsealed?"
"I don't care how ingenious this formation is; it's all built on the roof of this grandstand. Since that's the case, let's just blow up this roof. Let's see how it can continue to exist without support!"
Akali learned this from Kiritsugu Papa.
Before the white-clad ANBU could react, Akali formed hand seals, activating the explosive tags she had just placed on the supporting pillar below.
The detonator began to burn.
Then, she turned and left!
slip away.
Watching Akali's departing figure, the ordinary ANBU member walked up to the white-clad ANBU member.
"Captain, what do we do next?"
"What do we do?" The white-clad operative's face twisted beneath his mask. "What else can we do? We've encountered a madman like this. Run!"
"Swish swish swish swish—"
Lured by the promise of flight, the shadowy figures vanished quickly.
While the four Sound Ninja in the Four Purple Flame Formation were still wondering why everyone had left,
The next second, within the Four Purple Flame Formation, a master and disciple who were still exchanging ninjutsu techniques simultaneously felt a sense of crisis rising from the depths of their hearts!
