No one knew that both the Root and the Hokage Building had been invaded by powerful enemies.
Even fewer noticed that a fourth party was silently cleaning up the battlefield for them, collecting the bodies of their comrades.
At this moment, the Konoha ninjas were tacitly cooperating.
Some were escorting villagers to shelters, while others were less engaging and more focused on stalling for time, trying to save their own lives while waiting for their comrades to return from escorting the villagers, ready to sound the horn for a counterattack.
Meanwhile, the battle at Konoha Square remained intense.

Due to the First Hokage being resurrected with Impure World Reincarnation and using Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees to create a forest, the battle between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru could only be seen by those skilled in sensing and those with clairvoyance.
They also sensed that the Third Hokage's current situation was not good.
On the exam grounds, Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy, two Elite Jonin, were responsible for protecting the lives of the spectators, joining forces to deal with the Sound Ninja led by Yakushi Kabuto, as well as some Sand Ninja who had come to support them.
On the other side, Gaara and his siblings had already been captured by Izayoi and the other rookies.
As the Konoha Crush Plan had just begun, Hinata and Shino Aburame, who were also unaffected by Genjutsu, along with Sasuke Uchiha, Shikamaru Nara, and Neji Hyuga, quickly attacked Temari and Kankuro.
Because Gaara was using the False Sleep Technique, Temari and Kankuro dared not teleport over to take Gaara away. Facing the combined efforts of the rookies, they were quickly defeated.
If Kurenai Yuhi hadn't arrived in time to warn them, these siblings might have been killed by the fearless rookies, who wouldn't have cared that their value alive was far greater than their value dead.
On Gaara's side, having used the False Sleep Technique, he handed his body over to One-Tail Shukaku.
The Chakra of a Tailed Beast surged out, creating endless waves of sand, quickly forming Shukaku's body, and also helping Gaara block the Secret Technique Narukōhō, which was a fusion of three nature transformations.
However, just as Shukaku's body was formed and before it could shout "This great one has arrived!", its consciousness returned to Gaara's body.
Because after its body was formed, Gaara's upper body still protruded from its head.
It was difficult for the people below to notice this target, except for Izayoi's Shadow Clone.
Izayoi, whose Shadow Clone's ability to withstand attacks wasn't great, took advantage of Shukaku not being fully awake and quickly flew to its head, punching Gaara's face, which was unprotected by Sand Armor.
Gaara, who had just fallen into a deep sleep, was instantly awakened.
Shukaku's massive body also instantly turned into endless waves of sand, forming a huge sand pile on the exam grounds.
By the time Gaara's consciousness slowly cleared, he had already been brought to the spectator stand in the arena by Izayoi.
"If you move, I'll kill you," Izayoi's voice rang in his ear.
"Don't kill Gaara, he's also my brother, he has value in living, please don't kill him!"
The female voice, filled with pleading, completely woke Gaara up.
Looking at Temari, who was tied up with ropes and usually feared him immensely, but was now pleading for him, Gaara's mood was extremely complicated.
However, no one cared about his feelings. Kurenai Yuhi gave the order: "Hinata, seal his Chakra. If he breaks free, cut off his limbs. This guy can't be killed."
"Yes."
Hinata responded and acted, a set of Pressure Point Strikes landed on Gaara's body, sealing his Chakra points.
The Byakugan, with veins popping out on her temples, was also staring intently at Gaara's body, ready to notify everyone if anything went wrong.
At this moment, Izayoi's voice entered Hinata's ears, knowingly asking, "How is Hanabi's situation?"
"Don't worry, Father has already taken Hanabi away."
"That's good."
Izayoi nodded, then prepared to play a supporting role.
The main players in the Konoha Crush Plan are Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru, this master and disciple duo.
He was just a mysterious fourth party taking advantage of the chaos.
Kurenai Yuhi didn't intend to let them participate in the war either, saying to Izayoi and the others, "Take these prisoners with you and follow me."
After speaking, Kurenai Yuhi led Izayoi and the others, taking a detour away from Konoha Square, heading to the Konoha Interrogation Department.
These three people are all children of the Kazekage, and they definitely know a lot of things.
Along the way, they were attacked by many Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja.
But soon, Konoha ninjas came to support them.
Izayoi, who no longer needed to hide his strength, also floated directly into the air and used the Secret Technique: Judgement.
Faced with Izayoi, who used Secret Techniques as ordinary attacks, not to mention those Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja, even the Konoha ninjas who came to support were dumbfounded.
Looking at the laser pillars that could be compressed or diffused, the former being a weakened version of the Narukōhō, and the latter being a large-scale attack, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes were filled with heat, and he almost drooled.
Even the Lightning Release: Chidori, which he had just learned not long ago but had no chance to use, suddenly lost its appeal.
At the same time, Sasuke Uchiha made a decision in his heart.
When the war is over, he will go to train in Water Release nature transformation, and then politely ask Izayoi to teach him. If he refuses, he will pester him, freeload, and stand next to him like a third wheel, annoying Izayoi until he is willing to hand over the Secret Technique.
"Damn it, my home!"
Just as Sasuke Uchiha was thinking of ways.
A broken, angry curse suddenly pulled him back to his senses.
He saw Izayoi flying in the air, displaying his divine power, looking awe-inspiring at this moment, like a god descending. Izayoi, who was usually gentle, polite, respectful to teachers, and precocious like an adult, suddenly looked in a certain direction and cursed.
Then he directly abandoned Kurenai Yuhi and the others, and flew towards that direction.
Hinata's eyes also instantly became sharp, and without leaving a word, she turned into an afterimage and followed closely behind.
Following their direction, Kurenai Yuhi and the others were immediately dumbfounded.
In the city, there was a huge three-headed snake rampaging and destroying the surrounding buildings.
Exploding Tags and Five Elements Release had failed to kill it, instead making it even more violent.
While the three heads attacked the ninjas who were hurting it, the three-headed snake swung its tail, accidentally destroying a two-story detached house.
This house was Izayoi's home.
No wonder Izayoi would be so distraught.
Kurenai Yuhi came back to her senses and said to the others, "Don't worry about them, you continue to follow me."
"Storm Release: Judgement!"
A white laser beam shot down from the distant sky, hitting the middle head of the three-headed snake right on the bullseye.
Immediately, this huge laser beam contracted at a speed visible to the naked eye, changing from a pure electrothermal attack to a sharp laser cut. As the caster's arm swayed, it cut the entire three-headed snake apart, its corpse turning into a cloud of white smoke and returning to Ryuchi Cave.
"So... so powerful Lightning Release attack!"
"That's not Lightning Release, it's a Storm Release Secret Technique. It's the work of that Ninjutsu Genius everyone's been talking about lately."
"What an amazing little guy, he can even use Flying Ninjutsu!"
"Great, we finally got rid of this nuisance. Let's go support the others."
"..."
Watching Izayoi descend from the sky, the Konoha ninja exclaimed a few times, then quickly turned into afterimages and went to support their other companions.
Landing on the ground, Izayoi looked at the ruins in front of him, his mouth twitching: "The Main Body and those Shadow Clones are really useless."
When people get ruthless, they even scold themselves.
The newest novels are first released on 69shu!
In fact, not only the Shadow Clones, but even Izayoi's Main Body and the Shadow Clone responsible for controlling the puppet did not expect this scene.
The Main Body was responsible for reaping the Root and Danzo Shimura's treasures.
The Shadow Clone at the Naka River was responsible for controlling the puppet to finish off enemies, collect corpses, and hide corpses. The Tenseigan simply couldn't handle it all.
The Shadow Clone protecting Ranmaru was responsible for charging Ranmaru.
The Shadow Clone infiltrating the Hokage Building was busy cleaning up traces and taking Tenzō away from Konoha.
None of them noticed the three-headed snake, because this snake came all the way from the village entrance. Its fate in the original story was to be crushed by the giant toad summoned by Jiraiya.
As a result, unexpectedly, after Jiraiya learned about 'Deva Path Pain', he immediately abandoned everything and ran to the underground base of the Hokage Building.
Perhaps all the luck was used on the drop rate. The three-headed snake just happened to be heading towards Izayoi's street.
Out of so many houses, it just had to choose Izayoi's house.
Hinata appeared next to Izayoi in a flash, softly comforting him: "It's okay, Izayoi-kun, if the house is gone, we can rebuild it, as long as you're okay."
"That's all we can do. Let's find the scroll first. It contains my savings and our photos." Izayoi nodded. The matter was already a foregone conclusion. Unless he had the ability to reverse time, even he couldn't change it.
So, Izayoi used the Tenseigan's clairvoyance to find the location of important items in the ruins.
Soon, Izayoi found them.
"Hinata, I'll leave those guys to you."
Izayoi glanced at the few Sound Ninja who appeared out of nowhere and said to Hinata.
"Yes."
Hinata nodded sharply, her eyes fierce, and then a large amount of Chakra emerged from her hands, transforming into two purple lion heads.
Immediately, Hinata used Lightning Release Chakra Stimulation Cells to increase her speed, appearing in front of a Sound Ninja in a flash of lightning, and struck out with a palm.
The Sound Ninja who took the palm strike had the Chakra in their meridians instantly devoured, while a foreign Chakra surged through their flesh and into their body, impacting their internal organs.
The Sound Ninja immediately spat out blood and lost their ability to fight.
Having instantly killed a Sound Ninja with one palm, Hinata continued to attack the other Sound Ninja.
Relying on the Hyuga Clan's Main Family's advanced secret technique, Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists, Hinata easily dealt with these cannon fodder-level Sound Ninja.
After she finished fighting, Izayoi also retrieved several scrolls and a few photos protected by picture frames from the ruins.
Seeing that the photos were not damaged, Izayoi breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the ruins in front of him and comforted himself, "It's good that it's destroyed, just in time to get a bigger house."
At this moment, Izayoi and Hinata both looked towards the Hokage Rock.
In their perception, a large group of Chakra was surging from the direction of the Hokage Rock.
Having read the safety manual, they knew that Konoha had begun to counterattack.
With the villagers escorted to the shelter, the ninja had no more worries.
The once strongest ninja village would unleash amazing cohesion.
Unless the opponent was a great ninja village that had gathered all its forces, or a super powerhouse with the ability to strike with overwhelming force, no one would be Konoha's opponent.
Sure enough...
With the return of the escorting ninja, the Konoha side, which had been somewhat passive and even at a disadvantage against the combined forces of the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja, instantly displayed a destructive power, defeating the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja.
In addition, at this time, the Sand Ninja in Konoha Square brought back their discovery. It turned out that their Fourth Kazekage was actually Orochimaru in disguise, and the real Kazekage was missing.
Maki and the other Sand Ninja didn't bother to look for Gaara and the others, and hurriedly fought and fled Konoha, preparing to bring the news back to the village and let the council of elders make a decision.
The Sand Ninja who could not escape also chose to surrender very decisively.
As long as they were not dead, the village would find a way to redeem them.
At the same time, the battle between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru, the master and disciple, was also decided.
As in the original story, the old Hiruzen Sarutobi was no longer Orochimaru's opponent.
In addition, the Impure World Reincarnation of the First Hokage and Second Hokage, even if they were not even a tenth of their prime, could cause huge trouble for Hiruzen Sarutobi.
At the moment of life and death, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who often instilled the will of fire into the new generation, made a decisive decision, choosing to give up the opportunity to go to the Pure Land World, dedicating his soul to the Death God, sealing the souls of the First Hokage and Second Hokage one after another, and then discovering that he could not seal Orochimaru's soul, he decisively took away his hands' souls, preventing him from using Ninjutsu again.
In Orochimaru's screaming roar, Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes forever with a smile on his face.
Growing up together since childhood, becoming Hokage's guardians and disciples together, building Konoha together, fighting openly and secretly, turning Konoha, which could win even against four enemies, into the weakest period, the good buddies achieved the achievement of 'dying on the same day of the same month of the same year'.
Unfortunately, one soul could still go to the Pure Land World, while the other could only stay in the belly of the Death God.
The Konoha Crush Plan launched by Orochimaru, whether it was the Hidden Sound Village, Konoha, or the Sand Village, was not a winner.
The only winner, and also the biggest winner, was Izayoi.
With this Konoha Crush Plan, Izayoi directly made a fortune.
