Chapter 96 Hiruzen Danzo is a dog, you are just flies.
"Help! Hokage-sama, help me!"
Konoha's two gatekeepers, Kotetsu, was held tightly in mid-air by the Eight-Tails' thick tail. He struggled in vain, and his desperate cries for help rang out in the smoke-filled sky above Konoha.
And it wasn't just the Eight-Tails that was wreaking havoc; on the other side, Yugito had already completed her full tailed beast transformation, becoming a giant cat demon covered in azure flames.
Wherever the Two-Tails Matatabi's claws swept, Konoha's buildings crumbled, dust billowed among the ruins, and screams and the sounds of collapses created chaos.
Wearing black armor, Hiruzen Sarutobi moved like lightning, locking onto Tsuchidai in the midst of the surging Cloud Ninja army that was flooding into the village. He shouted in a voice full of anger: Tsuchidai, what do you mean by this?
Tu Tai, no longer the submissive figure he had been during the peace talks, had completely lost his former composure and replied with a cold laugh:
Since the Hokage is unwilling to send troops to the front lines as reinforcements, we have no choice but to retreat on our own.
"ha!"
Broly, who had been slowly following along, happened to hear this and couldn't help but let out a low laugh that sounded particularly abrupt in the tense atmosphere.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was so enraged that his veins bulged. He clearly hadn't expected Tsuchida to dare to so openly sever ties. He roared furiously, "Is a mutually destructive outcome what you want? This will only allow Kigakure to reap the benefits!"
"So what?"
Darui, who was usually lazy and careless, surprisingly spoke up this time, his voice full of resentment, "Rather than being cannon fodder for your Konoha, I'd rather drag you all down with me!"
"You bastard!"
Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo flew into a rage, instantly raising his finger to his chest, his wind-style chakra already subtly stirring.
Even in this tense moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi forcibly suppressed his anger and maintained his characteristic forbearance as a ninja bear.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and shouted to the Cloud Ninja army led by Tsuchikage, "Mr. Tsuchikage, Broly is currently in our Konoha. Why don't we take this opportunity to join forces and take down this monster!"
That was exactly what he had in mind. He deliberately didn't send reinforcements before, hoping that the Cloud Ninja could send the two Jinchuriki back to Konoha and help him get rid of Broly, his biggest threat.
Although the situation has deviated slightly from the plan, the two Jinchuriki have finally arrived. Rather than completely breaking ties with Kumogakure and fighting to the death right now, it would be better to take this opportunity to join forces and eliminate Broly, our common enemy, and settle the rest of the score later.
Upon hearing this, Broly glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi with surprise, thinking to himself: This old man Deng does have some political acumen.
Now I can finally understand why Tobirama Senju chose him.
Upon hearing this, the Cloud Ninja, who were originally burning with anger, instantly fell silent, their faces filled with complex emotions.
They deeply resented Konoha's use of Kumogakure as cannon fodder and their indifference to the crisis on the front lines. But if they were to ask who they hated the most, it would undoubtedly be Broly, who destroyed their hometown and personally killed the Fourth Raikage.
A mix of old and new grudges left them momentarily at a loss.
"Why."
Broly, seeing the intensely hostile gazes directed at him by the people of Konoha and Kumogakure, feigned disappointment and said, "How did it turn into this clichéd development again?"
He was really looking forward to seeing a great show between Kumogakure and Konoha, but in the end, all the conflicts ended up falling on him.
Although Broly never minded playing around with these people, at this moment he preferred to sit back and watch the two great ninja villages fight to the death.
"Cat Claw Flame!"
Yugito clearly had no interest in listening to such nonsense. The Two-Tails, now fully transformed into its tailed beast form, let out a deafening roar. Its right forelimb was enveloped in raging azure flames, which scorched the air and made a sizzling sound. Its giant claw, carrying a strong wind and azure flames, slashed fiercely at Broly Wolf!
The azure flames tore through the air, carrying scorching chakra that could burn everything. The Two-Tails' massive claws, covered in sharp claws, almost touched Broly's shoulder, yet his face still wore that nonchalant look of disappointment, and his eyes remained completely unmoved.
"Don't rush, at least wait for my people to arrive so we can all play together."
Before he could finish speaking, Broly tilted his head slightly, easily dodging the Two-Tails' powerful claw attack.
The next instant, his left hand shot out with lightning speed, precisely pinching the thick fleshy pad in the palm of the two-tailed beast.
Immediately afterward, under the stunned and horrified gazes of everyone in Konoha and Kumogakure, he lifted the massive Two-Tails high above his head with one hand, and then, as if throwing a shot put, he exerted force with his arm and flung the Two-Tails away, aiming directly at the Eight-Tails on the other side!
The eight-tailed Gyūki was startled by this sudden scene. Its huge eyes widened, and it instinctively opened its arms and tightly hugged the two-tailed creature that was flying towards it.
Even so, the terrifying impact still traveled through the Two-Tails' body, causing the Eight-Tails' massive body to stagger backward. With each step it took, it created deep craters in the ground, smashing Konoha buildings along its path to pieces, with rubble and dust flying everywhere.
"Damn monster!"
Seeing that Yukito had suddenly suffered a loss, Tsuchida's expression changed drastically. He immediately formed hand seals and shouted sharply, "Everyone, send reinforcements!"
'
"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"
"Lightning Release: Black Spotted Blade!"
"Lightning Release: Lightning Strike!"
Countless Cloud Ninjas attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of Lightning Release ninjutsu. Pale blue and jet-black lightning bolts either spread rapidly along the ground or coiled around Broly like venomous snakes.
Either it crashes down from the sky, transforming into a pillar of lightning that strikes the target, with lightning from all directions weaving into an impenetrable net that completely envelops Broly.
Upon seeing this, Broly raised an eyebrow slightly, and a light blue light wave slowly surged from his body, transforming into a spherical, semi-transparent protective shield around him, protecting his entire body.
A deafening roar of thunder exploded in their ears, and countless lightning-style ninjutsu crashed into the protective shield like a tidal wave. The blue and white lightning made the entire sky dazzling, but the seemingly fragile protective shield remained unmoved, blocking all the lightning without a single one breaking through the barrier.
Tsuchida's face turned deathly pale. He stared intently at the protective shield, his voice filled with disbelief: "Even more exaggerated than the Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Armor!"
Broly, looking impatient, waved his hand and said, "I already told you, don't rush, wait for my men to come and we'll take our time. Right now, I'm all alone, and you're all ganging up on me, don't you find it boring?"
The instant Broly deactivated his protective shield, a glint flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, he rapidly formed hand seals, so fast they left afterimages: "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
A massive fire dragon roared from his mouth, its body engulfed in flames, and charged toward Broly with bared fangs and claws.
Just as the fire dragon was about to collide with Broly, he casually raised his hand and waved it, and an invisible force suddenly erupted, directly knocking the fire dragon off course.
Losing its target, the fire dragon crashed into an open space in the distance, instantly exploding into a raging inferno that engulfed everything around it, with thick smoke billowing into the sky.
"Tsuchikage! Let's put aside the feud between Konoha and Kumogakure for now. If we don't join forces, both villages will become history today!"
The Third Hokage's voice carried an undeniable authority. He quickly formed the cross hand seal and unleashed Naruto's signature Shadow Clone Technique. With two muffled thuds, two shadow clones identical to him appeared on his left and right sides.
One of the shadow clones quickly formed hand seals and shouted in a deep voice, "Earth Release: Great River of Earth!"
A massive torrent of mud surged from the ground like a rushing river, rushing towards Broly's feet. Just as the mud reached Broly's ankles, another shadow clone completed the hand seals: "Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
A thick, fiery dragon suddenly spewed from its mouth, landing precisely on the swamp-like mud. The extreme heat instantly solidified the boiling mud, turning it into hard cement that firmly pinned Broly's feet to it.
"Oh?"
Broly looked down with interest at the cement that firmly encased his ankles and below, showing no sign of panic.
Seeing Broly's nonchalant expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi panicked and shouted, "Everyone, attack now!"
Upon hearing this, Darui, who was closest to Broly, flashed with intense hatred in his eyes and struck first, his voice filled with grief and indignation: "I will avenge our boss right now!"
"Lightning Release: Black Spotted Blade!"
Dark black lightning condensed in his palm, transforming into a ferocious lightning tiger with bared fangs and claws, letting out a deafening roar, and carrying violent chakra as it charged towards Broly.
Seeing this, Broly casually raised his hand and let the black lightning tiger crash into his palm.
However, the instant his palm touched the tiger's head, Broly slightly squeezed his fingers, and the seemingly invincible lightning tiger shattered instantly, turning into specks of lightning that dissipated into the air, as if he had crushed a kitten.
But that's not all.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave Barrage!"
Danzo Shimura puffed out his wrinkled old face, his wind-style chakra surging wildly around him, and spat out a dense barrage of sharp wind blades that shot towards Broly like a torrential rain. The wind blades tore through the air, making a sharp whooshing sound.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi once again unleashed his most powerful Fire Release ninjutsu, unleashing a roaring fire dragon that perfectly complemented Danzo Shimura's Wind Release. The wind fueled the fire, and the fire, aided by the wind, created an even more intense firestorm that swept towards Broly.
Although these two old fogies had been loving and fighting each other their whole lives, their teamwork in battle remained seamless when faced with a real crisis.
"Fire Release: Fire Rat Ball!"
On the other side, Yugito the Two-Tailed Fox, having recovered, attacked again. Her two thick tails danced wildly in the air, and with each swing, countless azure fireballs fell. As the fireballs fell, they transformed into lifelike fire rats, emitting sharp hissing sounds, densely packed together, sealing off Broly from all sides.
"Tailed Beast Ink Cannon!"
Not to be outdone, the Eight-Tails opened its enormous mouth wide, its chakra surging wildly into it. Then, a jet of liquid, resembling thick black ink, shot out with tremendous force and corrosiveness, hurtling towards Broly.
While this move is not as powerful as the Tailed Beast Ball, it has the advantage of not requiring charging and being extremely fast. Its destructive power is definitely at the level of an S-rank ninjutsu.
"call!"
Broly sighed softly, looking up at the overwhelming high-level ninjutsu rushing towards him, his face full of impatience, and the air pressure around him began to slowly decrease.
The next instant, a terrifying aura that shocked and spurred everyone to despair erupted from his body.
"I already told you—don't be in such a hurry!"
The moment the words fell, a powerful aura, like a prehistoric beast awakening, surged from Broly's body, forming an invisible shield around him that blocked all incoming attacks.
Moreover, the violent energy also carried a strong recoil force, pushing all the ninjutsu attacks back violently.
Neither the powerful ninjutsu of a Kage-level ninja nor the ultimate technique of a tailed beast could shake it in the slightest when it collided with this energy shield. Instead, they were instantly swallowed up by the energy shield and vanished without a trace, like a mud ox entering the sea.
The hard cement that had been tightly binding Broly's feet shattered under the impact of this violent force, and a layer of the ground below was also forcibly sheared away, revealing a flat surface with cracks spreading outwards like a spider web.
Broly's gaze shifted slightly, sweeping over the surrounding crowd with an indifferent look. His gaze, though seemingly calm, carried an overwhelming pressure that made everyone look utterly horrified. Their hearts were filled with endless despair. No one could believe that this seemingly young child was so powerful.
Broly's gaze slowly swept over everyone present. Whether it was a veteran Kage-level ninja like Hiruzen Sarutobi or a powerful tailed beast like the Eight-Tails or the Two-Tails, they all subconsciously lowered their heads the moment his gaze swept over them, not daring to meet his eyes.
It wasn't that they were afraid, but rather it was their bodies' instinctive reaction; faced with an absolute difference in strength, they couldn't even muster the thought of resistance.
"Let's start with the two of you."
Broly finally fixed his gaze on Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado. His tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable killing intent. As he spoke, he lifted his foot and slowly walked towards the two of them. Each step he took felt like stepping on everyone's heart, making everyone's heart tremble.
The two core members of the Konoha Elder Council were already terrified, their legs went weak, and they almost fell to the ground.
The two were filled with despair and confusion, wondering what they, as insignificant people, had done to attract Broly's attention.
Seeing Broly walk toward his old friend, Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth, a struggle flashing in his eyes, and moved his feet, wanting to step forward and stop him.
But just then, Broly turned his head slightly, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Are you going to stop me? I was planning to let you go and let you continue to be your Hokage."
These words, like a curse, kept swirling in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, causing him to freeze in place, completely stunned.
Is it true? Broly really doesn't intend to kill him? This thought grew wildly in his mind, plunging him into complete hesitation.
In the brief moment of Hiruzen Sarutobi's hesitation, Broly had already walked past him, and in a few steps he was between Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado. He slightly raised his hand, and a light blue light slowly gathered in his palm. The energy wave was ready, and the shadow of death instantly enveloped the two of them.
"No, don't kill us!"
Sensing the overwhelming aura of death, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado could no longer care about their status and dignity as elders of Konoha. Their faces were filled with despair and fear, and they pleaded in trembling voices, "Don't kill us! Spare us!"
Broly had just told Hiruzen Sarutobi that he could let him go. Although they didn't know if he was telling the truth, they still held onto a sliver of hope.
If Broly really had no interest in killing Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, then it wasn't impossible for him to spare the lives of these two lowly advisors.
After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi was the Hokage of Konoha, and Broly spared him. These two are insignificant, so they shouldn't have to die, right?
"You two are so boring."
Broly spoke with a smile, his tone relaxed, but he uttered words that plunged the two of them into hell.
In fact, Broly didn't really intend to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura during this Fourth Shinobi World War. He wanted to see what kind of mess these two old geezers could make of Konoha in the current chaotic situation of the shinobi world. That would be interesting for him.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado are different. If Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura are two old dogs, at least they can provide Broly with dog-eat-dog fun while they are alive.
Then Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado are more like two annoying flies, useless except for disgusting people.
That said, these two seem to have lived into the Boruto era. Judging by their ages, they must be at least a hundred years old.
Such scourges will endure for a thousand years.
Broly couldn't help but grumble to himself. He was genuinely curious why Sasuke Uchiha hadn't killed those two old bastards after returning to the village.
As the blue light in Broly's palm grew stronger and the oppressive aura of death intensified, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado no longer dared to hesitate and turned to run away.
In the past, they might have thought of fighting to the death like Hiruzen Sarutobi, risking everything.
After witnessing Broly's earth-shattering burst of energy, they completely understood just how terrifying this child, who looked to be only about seven years old, was. The last shred of resistance in their hearts vanished, and their only thought was to run away.
After all, they've only enjoyed the highest power in Konoha for forty years, and they don't want to die yet!
"It looks terrible."
Broly raised an eyebrow slightly, watching the two men flee in a disheveled state, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, before preparing to completely obliterate them.
Just then, a soft and eerie voice suddenly came from afar.
"Lord Qi Ying, why make them die so easily? I have a better way to play."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others all turned their heads to look at the huge hole that had been smashed into the Eight-Tails.
Countless ninjas wearing headbands with the character "Ki" printed on them were pouring into Konoha Village through the hole. They were so densely packed that they seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. This was Broly's Ki Village army!
Orochimaru!
Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth so hard they were almost broken, his eyes filled with hatred and heartache, and shouted fiercely.
The person who just spoke was none other than Orochimaru, his most prized disciple, who has now defected from Konoha and joined Kigakure!
Upon hearing this, Broly raised an eyebrow with interest, turned to look in the direction the voice came from, and said with a playful tone, "Oh? Tell me about it."
Orochimaru slowly emerged from the army of Kigakure, a sinister smile playing on his lips. He suddenly flicked his wrist, and one or two jet-black pythons shot out from his sleeve.
Like a nimble vine whip, it instantly wrapped around the bodies of Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, who were preparing to escape, and pulled them back with a sharp tug, causing them to fall heavily to the ground with two muffled thuds.
Orochimaru slowly stepped forward and said with a smile, "I think these two teachers of the Elder Council, the First Hokage and the Second Hokage, will be very interested to see what Konoha Village has become under the guidance of their disciples."
Upon hearing this, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado's faces instantly turned ashen, and Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, who were standing nearby, also looked extremely pale. The four members of the elder council were immediately plunged into extreme panic.
Although they are usually complacent and think they have made Konoha prosperous, at least that's how they see it.
However, if Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, the two founders of Konoha, were to see Konoha in its current state, they would be utterly disgraced for the rest of their lives.
Upon hearing this, Broly's eyes lit up with interest, and he asked, "Oh? You've already obtained the remains of those two people?"
Orochimaru, still smiling, shook his head and replied, "No, but the remains of those two are in the Konoha Cemetery. Please wait a moment, Lord Kikage, I'll go get them right away."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were bloodshot and bulging with fury as he roared hoarsely, "Orochimaru! Do you intend to use that forbidden technique? Playing with souls is no good!"
Snapped!
No sooner had Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking than a crisp slap rang out. Broly raised his hand and slapped Hiruzen Sarutobi hard across the face, causing him to stagger and a trickle of blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.
"Shut up!"
Broly's voice was icy cold, carrying an undeniable pressure that instantly froze Hiruzen Sarutobi in place.
"Why don't you let the homeroom teacher check your homework?"
Orochimaru watched this scene with a grin, his eyes full of mockery. He was about to turn around and head to the Konoha Cemetery to dig up the remains of the First and Second Hokage.
Suddenly, Broly seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, if Nohara Rin's body is still here, bring it along too."
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, and Kakashi, who was standing with the group of Jonin from Konoha, suddenly shuddered.
The White Zetsu clone hidden underground was also startled by these words, and muttered to itself: Nohara Rin's remains? What does this guy want to do now?
