Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#332 - Hyuga Sparks

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Everything was so calm and peaceful, but when Liang Yue followed the Third Hokage and the others back to the village from the Forest of Death, he clearly felt that something was not quite right.

Of course, on the surface, the atmosphere of Konoha was still as usual, peaceful and prosperous, possessing a living and survival environment that was envied by other countries.

Even, compared to other years, Konoha now seemed even more bustling.

Due to the third round of the Chunin Selection Exams, the daimyo, dignitaries, ninjas, etc. from various countries also came one after another, bringing a lot of extra income to the village.

However, in the dark, a crisis unknown to ordinary people was quietly brewing.

As soon as the Third Hokage stepped into the Hokage Building, a pile of important documents was placed in front of him.

In general, Konoha during this period, although seemingly peaceful as usual on the surface, was actually fraught with crises in the dark.

Among them, in addition to the accompanying ninjas from the dignitaries of various countries, who sometimes acted without authorization, scaling walls and visiting at night, and were warned many times.

There was also a group of unknown hostile forces who seemed to be planning something.

Currently, in order to deal with and investigate these people, two Anbu members have been successively killed while performing tasks at night.

However, among these two dead, there should be no Anbu cannon fodder emperor ~ Hayate Gekko from the original plot.

Because when the Third Hokage was in seclusion in the Forest of Death's tower this time, this gentleman was one of the accompanying guards...

And facing such a situation of impending storm, the Third Hokage seemed very calm at this time.

After all, the old guy was a figure who had come from the war years, experienced three Ninja World Wars, and had seen even worse situations, so the crisis scene in front of him was not enough to make him lose his composure.

In addition, after successfully breaking through the innate realm, the Third Hokage's entire mental state was already different from before.

At this time, he was confident that he could face any situation~!

So, under this little old man's series of orders and arrangements, the personnel of the entire Hokage Building quickly began to perform their duties and operate in an orderly manner.

As the person who has contributed the most to Konoha this month, or even this year, Liang Yue naturally received great praise from the Third Hokage, as well as a generous reward...

......

The next day, the third round of the Chunin Selection Exams was held as scheduled.

Different from the previous two rounds, this selection competition adopted a public competition method, and the competition venue was arranged in a grand arena.

According to Liang Yue's visual estimation, the area of this open-air stadium should be no less than a regular football field.

The surrounding three sides are grandstands, and the left and right sides are the audience seats, which are now full of ordinary people, dignitaries from various countries, and daimyo who came to watch the battle.

Facing the gate of the stadium is the main stage, where the Third Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage are sitting upright.

In addition, there were only a small number of Konoha and Sand Ninja's personal guards present.

Of course, in order to ensure the smooth completion of the system task, Liang Yue had already climbed onto the roof above the main stage one step earlier.

That is, the main battlefield where Orochimaru and the Third Hokage will fight later.

At this moment, he was holding his head in both hands, lying on the other side of the roof, looking at the sky somewhat bored, quietly waiting for the passage of time.

He had also applied the legendary assassin's "Stealth Technique" and the Taoist's "Invisibility Technique", two skills dedicated to hiding himself.

In addition, Liang Yue's innate ability to restrain his aura, which was already in the innate realm.

This guy believed that even Orochimaru, who was known for his weirdness and scientific madness, would not be able to discover his whereabouts.

......

"Speaking of which~ After this Konoha Crush Plan is over, shouldn't I also do something? At least I can't stay at home like before."

"Well... In the main quest, the so-called instigator of the war probably refers to those people who are related to the cause of the war, right?"

"Looking at it this way, in addition to Black Zetsu, Kabuto Yakushi, Orochimaru, and even Danzo, seem to be inseparable from the relationship."

"The former two spread the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation, which is a standard disaster. Even in the Boruto stage, there is still this meme, and the latter Danzo..."

"Nagato's blackening was caused by him..."

"In addition, Madara Uchiha and Obito also seem to be unable to wash themselves clean~"

"Danzo's side is not easy to handle. That guy has always been elusive on weekdays, and the Root base is also heavily guarded. The most important thing is that this old guy hasn't come to trouble me for so many years~"

"As for Orochimaru, I'll see if I can just kill him later~"

"The best target to attack at this stage is probably Kabuto Yakushi..."

"Well~ If you really count them, there are not many people in the Naruto world who can be called instigators of the war."

"I don't know if that old man Onoki counts. It seems that in Boruto..."

......

In this way, Liang Yue was listening to the cheers, noises, and fierce fighting sounds of the contestants in the stadium behind him, while analyzing his next plans.

Slowly, his mind unconsciously began to wander, so later he simply put aside these thoughts, closed his eyelids, and rested his mind.

As for watching the game with other people~

Liang Yue was not interested in this. The only two worth paying attention to, Naruto and Sasuke, had been practicing with him since they were young.

They are tired of fighting on weekdays, what is there to see?

After a while, a burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly erupted in the stadium below.

Listening carefully, it seemed that Sasuke had entered the field, and his opponent was still Gaara from the Sand Village...

"Liang Yue~"

"Huh?"

Just as Liang Yue was still lying on the roof in a daze, the Third Hokage's voice suddenly came from his ear.

However, it was in the form of telepathy.

"Go back to the Hyuga clan. According to the Anbu's report, that girl Hanabi has been secretly kidnapped. Now Hiashi Hyuga is taking Hinata back."

"What? Is Orochimaru setting his sights on the Hyuga clan again?"

Hearing the Third Hokage's words, Liang Yue was immediately shocked, and then he also used telepathy to send the voice to the Third Hokage's ears.

"What about you here? The Fourth Kazekage next to you is not quite right."

"Don't worry, I've already noticed it. After breaking through the new realm and mastering the method of absorbing natural energy to convert chakra, this old man's body has now returned to the state it was twenty or thirty years ago.

I was just looking for someone to practice with, and it's time for that guy Orochimaru to suffer a bit."

"Okay, it's good if you're confident..."
