Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Konoha Attack
"Third Hokage, an intruder has been spotted in the village!"
An Anbu suddenly appeared in front of Hiruzen and reported immediately.
"No report from the barrier team?"
When Hiruzen heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he stood up abruptly.
"No, so far, we still haven't figured out how many invaders there are," the Anbu said in a deep voice.
"How is this possible!?"
Konoha's current protective barrier was set up by Minato himself, yet someone was able to sneak in silently.
Just as Minato expected, there would really be an attack on the village at this moment today.
At this point, there was no point in caring about how the enemy could sneak into the village without being discovered.
"Order all ninjas to prioritize protecting civilians!"
"Also, all ninjas under the age of fifteen in the village are to be gathered together and are not allowed to participate in the battle!"
"Understood!"
The Anbu received the order and disappeared instantly.
Hiruzen also quickly changed into his combat uniform and then disappeared from the room.
At this time, in a corner of Konoha, a ninja wearing a loose black robe was surrounded by Konoha ninjas.
Around him, several Konoha ninjas watched him with terrified eyes.
"Puff!"
This person didn't care at all. He pierced through the left chest of the Konoha ninja corpse in his left hand with his right hand, and then took out his heart.
"A rare wind attribute, but it's too weak."
He spat lightly, then casually threw the heart in his hand away.
Under the black hood, the pure green eyes with a chilling coldness locked onto another Konoha ninja in front of him.
Swish!
The next moment, his speed increased dramatically, and none of the Konoha ninjas present could resist his speed.
"Water Style: Water Array Wall!"
At this moment, a huge torrent came from afar, and then turned into a several-meter-high water wall, blocking the black-robed man.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently. Seeing this, he stepped back.
"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
The ground immediately cracked open, and an earth dragon snaked out. It then opened its ferocious dragon mouth and fired dozens of earth-burrowing shells.
"Lightning Style: Thunder Spear!"
But at this time, the black-robed man's ninjutsu was also completed, and he fired dozens of lightning spears in succession.
"Shhh!"
The lightning spear suddenly collided with the earth bullets. The latter remained in a stalemate for a few moments before shattering.
Although the power of the two sides' ninjutsu was not much different, Lightning Style had an advantage over Earth Release.
After breaking through the earth bullets, the lightning spears struck both the earth dragon and the huge water wall. After a few moments of struggle, both sides were annihilated and the water wall dispersed.
"You can use water jutsu to this extent in a waterless place. You must be the grandson of the First Hokage, Senju Nawaki?"
Looking at the young man standing in front of several Konoha ninjas, the man in black robe said leisurely.
Senju Nawaki ignored him and glanced around at the bodies of several Konoha ninjas.
Without exception, their left chests were hollowed out and their hearts were missing.
"Whatever your reason for attacking Konoha, you deserve to die!"
Nawaki's eyes darkened, and his voice was filled with strong murderous intent.
"You are really too weak compared to the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju."
The black-robed man simply ignored Nawaki's murderous intent, but when he mentioned the First Hokage, one could hear great awe and fear in his voice.
"I might not be as strong as Grandpa, but I will stop you from hurting the ninjas in the village!"
Nawaki said angrily, and suddenly formed seals with his hands.
"Water Release?"
The man in black robe looked at the hand seals that Senju Nawaki made at the beginning and was able to tell what kind of ninjutsu he was performing.
"However, compared to others, your heart is still worth collecting!"
The man in black robe smiled sternly and began to make seals with his hands.
"Boom boom!"
The sound caused by the ninjutsu collision immediately attracted the attention of most of the Konoha ninjas.
Everyone looked in that direction, including the Third Hokage.
"Senju Nawaki?"
Looking at the powerful water-style ninjutsu, the Third Hokage murmured softly, and at this moment, an Anbu ninja appeared in front of him again.
"Third Hokage, the important passages in the village are covered with poisonous fog, and civilians cannot pass through at all."
"Not only that, many people were attacked by puppets and were poisoned."
"Hateful!"
When Hiruzen heard this, his old face became furious. There was no doubt that these things were definitely done by Sasori of the Red Sand!
Minato was right, what happened before was indeed a trap.
"Sarutobi-sensei, leave the detoxification to me."
Just as the Third Hokage was about to start his attack, Tsunade's voice was heard, and then she landed beside him.
"From the current situation, the number of invaders is not large, and most of them are puppets," Tsunade said.
Hiruzen nodded. If that was true, as long as Tsunade could eliminate the poisonous fog on the main roads in the village, these invaders would not be difficult to deal with.
"Then let's act quickly," said the Third Hokage. Tsunade beside him nodded, then quickly flew away.
"Where's Orochimaru?"
After Tsunade left, Hiruzen murmured softly.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, on an empty street somewhere in Konoha, the space began to twist like a vortex, and two figures gradually became clear from the twist.
"Do you want to summon the statue?" The man in black robe looked at the masked man beside him and asked.
"Not for now. I believe those guys will rush back to Konoha soon. As you saw just now, I can't defeat the Fourth Hokage alone."
The masked man explained that controlling the statue requires a lot of eye power and chakra.
The most important thing was that he didn't want to expose all his strength.
"Indeed."
The man in black robe nodded. Just now, Minato actually used the power of nature to withstand his Shinra Tensei.
This had never happened before.
"Then I will use the Animal Path."
The man in black robe said, and then he quickly formed seals with his hands.
The masked man at the side was looking at the village in front of him, and the expression in his eyes became more and more indifferent.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
"Bang bang!"
A huge smoke spread out, and out of the smoke, a huge strange bird flew out.
"Roar!"
At the same time, all kinds of strange roars were heard from the smoke.
Several huge monsters with different appearances rushed out and directly destroyed the surrounding buildings.
"Boom!"
The loud noise coming from here attracted the attention of Hiruzen and many Konoha ninjas on the rooftops.
"Screech!"
The next moment, the giant bird that flew out first screamed, and then rushed straight towards the direction where Hiruzen was!
