"Kakashi-senpai, are we just going to watch and not take action?"
Shiranui Genma approached Kakashi with a senbon hanging in his mouth and asked.
Kakashi was leaning against a chimney with a book in his hand.
"Don't worry, there should be an order from the Third Hokage soon."
"Half the street has been turned into ruins..."
"Then I guess there will be a decision soon!"
Kakashi raised his dead eyes and glanced in the direction of the Hokage Building. "Look, it's coming."
The Third Hokage appeared.
From the moment Sasuke came here, it was destined that the Third Hokage would personally take action.
Sure enough, when the battle lasted for nearly ten minutes, Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing the Hokage robe, finally arrived at the scene. "ANBU, control it."
"Yes!"
Almost as soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, eight ANBU appeared around Sasuke.
Four faced Sasuke and four had their backs to him.
The Demon Slayer team members who were originally planning to attack stopped immediately when they saw this scene.
Their job was only to kill demons, but now that the Konoha ninjas had taken over, they could stop. What's more, almost every member of the Demon Slayer team was injured at this moment, and the situation was not very good.
After all, they had just returned to the village, and before they could even take a breath, they got the news that the village was under attack. However, they rushed to the scene without hesitation. If it weren't for the generally strong physiques of people in the ninja world, many of the Demon Slayer team members would have completely lost their strength by now.
They supported each other and retreated to the sidelines, leaving the battlefield to the ANBU ninjas.
Sasuke also stopped and looked around with a disdainful smile on his face.
"Substitute? It doesn't matter. I will never feel tired. It's meaningless no matter how many people come..."
He moved his wrist, as if he was about to start the third round.
At this time, the four ANBU facing him suddenly formed seals.
Lightning Release: Four-Pillar Bind!
The next second, four stone pillars rose from the ground, and then endless lightning filled them. Sasuke's body was immediately paralyzed, and he could no longer move.
The Third Hokage stepped outside the stone pillar and looked at Sasuke who was controlled inside.
"Who are you? What is your purpose?"
"Hey, Third Hokage, who am I... you might as well guess, there will be rewards for guessing correctly."
The thunder and lightning restricted Sasuke's movements, but could not restrict his speech.
Although his voice became choppy, he still insisted on finishing the sentence. At the same time, he was struggling as much as possible, and the blood on his body slowly but surely gathered towards his legs.
The Third Hokage saw his little movement, and his hands suddenly formed seals.
Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld! The ground beneath Sasuke's feet turned into a puddle, and his legs immediately sank into it.
With the Third Hokage's ninjutsu skills, this quagmire may not be big, but it is enough to completely restrict his Blood Demon Technique. Under normal circumstances, no matter how much he self-destructs, the power of the explosion will probably be absorbed by this mud.
Unfortunately, this is not normal.
"As expected of the strongest Hokage, you are indeed very powerful.
If you ask me who I am, it doesn't hurt to tell you.
There should be many demons who have come to Konoha Village before. They said they want to cause trouble for Shimura Danzo. This is right and wrong. In fact, our real target is you, the Third Hokage.
And it's not just you, the Kazekage, the Tsuchikage, the Raikage, the Mizukage, the five major countries, the five major villages, every one of them, we will not let go.
My lord has returned, the power of demons and gods will surely devour the ninja world, and all of you will become a part of my lord.
Tremble, fear, and be ready to die.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha—"
Sasuke threw his head back and laughed, indescribably wild. Even though thunder and lightning traveled throughout his body, they couldn't stop him from laughing wildly.
The Third Hokage's face was as stern as water.
"Who are you, and who is the master you speak of?"
"Originally, my lord didn't like to have his name widely publicized.
But this time I will be compassionate and make an exception for you.
Anyway, once our lord returns, he will make the final judgment on the entire ninja world. Before you die, please kindly grant your wishes.
Remember, my lord is the true king of all demons, the only inheritor of the power of demons and gods, and the source and end of all demons—Muzan Kibutsuji!!!"
Muzan Kibutsuji?
Weird name.
The Third Hokage frowned, his mind whirled around rapidly, but he could not find this name in his memory.
"What about you? Who are you?"
"Do you remember those guys who attacked you before? Do you know what they are?"
"I know, they are the Twelve Upper demons...wait, are you one of the Twelve demons too?"
"Yes, I am the real elite of my lord. The Twelve demons are not on the same level as those trash."
"But there are no characters in your eyes."
"How could it not be possible? That is the glory bestowed upon us by our lord, but it is not present in this body."
"This body...you mean..."
"That's right, this is not my true body. This is just a chess piece that can be discarded. I'm just too bored recently, so I came here temporarily to play."
Sasuke smiled as his body began to turn red rapidly.
When the Third Hokage saw this scene, his pupils shrank slightly.
"You're stalling for time...everyone get out of the way!"
As he spoke, he formed the seal again.
Earth Style: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling!
The ground around Sasuke rolled up and turned into a cage, trying to wrap it up.
The surrounding ninjas quickly retreated, and some people took away the resting Demon Slayer team and security team members.
The Third Hokage cast Earth Mausoleum Dumpling, and then released an enhanced version of Swamp of the Underworld, intending to send Sasuke deeper.
However, Sasuke's voice came faintly from the cage.
"Blood Demon Art—Super Big Explosion!"
There was no fire or smoke, just a muffled sound and a violent tremor.
Like an earthquake, the entire Konoha Village trembled.
The entire surrounding neighborhood was reduced to rubble by the earthquake, and houses further away also suffered varying degrees of damage.
This time there were inevitable casualties. After all, not everyone had left the house, and there were still people at home at the moment.
Fortunately, it was not late at night, and the people hiding at home were not completely unprepared, so some people were injured but no one died.
The ninjas immediately settled the injured under the orders of the Third Hokage. The Demon Slayer Squad and the security team were also arranged together, and medical ninjas treated their injuries. Because they were not far from the civilians, they immediately attracted all the civilians' attention.
Seeing the injuries of these young people, everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for them. Especially when they heard that the Demon Slayer Corps had just entered the village and walked into the battlefield without any time to rest, many emotional people were moved to tears.
Some children ignored their parents' dissuasion and ran to the Demon Slayer members. Looking at the Demon Slayer members holding swords and wearing uniforms, their eyes were full of admiration and yearning.
"It's decided, when I grow up, I will also become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps!"
A three-year-old child announced loudly with his hands on his hips.
