Chapitre 105: Chapter 105: Journey to the Hokage Building
Sasuke shot a strange glance at White.
However, at this moment, White didn't notice Sasuke's gaze at all.
This was because the sound of intense fighting surrounded them.
The moment the Konoha Collapse Plan began, the entire village was thrown into chaos.
In the distance, Orochimaru's summoned beasts were rampaging through Konoha, wreaking havoc.
A large number of ninjas were helping civilians escape, while also organizing teams to deal with the summoned beasts.
Additionally, a large group of Sand Village ninjas had infiltrated Konoha, and the Konoha ninjas needed to deal with them as well.
"Lord Sasuke, nearly half of the ANBU guarding the Hokage Building have left!"
"At present, only about twenty ANBU remain stationed there!"
White pointed in the direction of the Hokage Building.
"Sorry, Lord Sasuke, it seems there is some kind of barrier around the Hokage Building. As soon as the battle started, the barrier was activated!"
"It's clear that Konoha was prepared. In case of turmoil, the Hokage Building's defenses are triggered immediately!"
Sasuke noticed this too.
So that's what the strange pillars at the top of the Hokage Building were for they were part of the barrier activation system.
It was obvious that this barrier wasn't something that could be broken easily.
Of course, if it were Pain's Shinra Tensei, breaking through such a defense would be a piece of cake.
But for Sasuke, breaking through a barrier of this level would be much more troublesome.
Making too much noise might draw unwanted attention.
After all, Konoha still had a heavyweight figure present.
One of the Legendary Sannin Jiraiya.
According to the original story, Jiraiya was in Konoha at this moment.
If Jiraiya were to notice him, it would be very difficult for Sasuke to escape from his grasp.
'Damn...'
Sasuke lightly gritted his teeth. It seemed that stealing the Seal Book was going to be more difficult than he had imagined.
It wasn't going to be as easy as he thought.
Is giving up the only option?
Thinking of this, Sasuke found it difficult to make a decision.
But at this moment, suddenly, an explosion came from the Hokage Building.
Boom!
After a loud sound, black smoke rose from the Hokage Building.
And then, the barrier dissipated, and there were screams coming from inside.
This situation surprised Sasuke.
'So this is…'
The two looked at each other.
Sasuke took the lead and rushed into the Hokage Building.
The white figure beside him was also wearing a Konoha headband, so it would not draw any attention.
Inside the Hokage Building, Sasuke saw ninjas lying on the ground.
In addition to the more than twenty Anbu ninjas stationed there, there were already a considerable number of ninjas within the building.
If it weren't for the Chuunin Exams today, elite ninjas like Nara Shikaku, who usually stayed in the Hokage Building, would be present.
Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to attack the Hokage Building.
But today was different.
Shikaku was at the Chuunin Exam venue, as his son was also competing, and it would be impossible for him to miss his own son's match.
This left the Hokage Building extremely empty.
Sasuke moved through the hallways.
Suddenly, he looked up, and a bone spike pierced through the ceiling.
Looking at the white bone, Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly.
'So that's it…'
No wonder there was an explosion in the Hokage Building, and even the barrier was broken.
It turned out that Orochimaru sent this person.
Kaguya Kimimaro!!!
When it comes to combat ability, Sasuke believed that this guy was not weaker than the Kage-level ninjas.
It is known that Orochimaru killed the Fourth Kazekage, and there was a 70% chance it was because of Kimimaro's cooperation.
This led to the Fourth Kazekage's death.
After Kimimaro killed the Fourth Kazekage, he was extremely weak, but even so, while his disease worsened, he nearly defeated Rock Lee and almost killed Gaara.
Such terrifying combat strength would make it easy for him to deal with dozens of Anbu ninjas.
Sasuke glanced at White. "Let's go! We need to hurry!"
Sasuke didn't want Kimimaro to get the Sealing Book first, although Orochimaru would eventually give it to him.
But Sasuke wanted to hold the Sealing Book in his own hands.
"Sasuke-sama, it seems there's an enemy above. Do you want to use this sword?" White handed over a beheading sword.
Sasuke smiled.
So this guy was now truly on his side?
Forget it!
"No! No need! The person above might not strictly be considered an enemy!"
In fact, it's possible that this person would become an ally soon!
Sasuke quickly ascended to the second floor of the Hokage Building.
When he arrived, the hallway was even more bloodstained, with blood flowing everywhere.
The Anbu ninjas had been brutally killed, and from Sasuke's keen eyesight, it was clear that these ninjas had been killed with a single strike, with no unnecessary movements.
'Kimimaro… his Taijutsu is very strong!'
Sasuke continued walking forward.
After passing through the long hallway, Sasuke reached the Hokage's office. The Sealing Book was behind the office.
This was the closest room to the Hokage's office.
There were no barriers or special guards here.
This was Konoha's core, home to its strongest combat force.
If it weren't for the special circumstances, the Hokage would be here.
In such a situation, was there really a need for extra guards?
Naturally, there wasn't.
Sasuke pushed open the door.
In the dimly lit room, the Sealing Book was placed on a stone pillar at the center.
And in front of it, Kimimaro was inspecting the Sealing Book.
Hearing the movement behind him, Kimimaro didn't turn around. Instead, he swiftly turned and shot a bone spike.
However, the next second...
Clang!!
The beheading sword deflected the bone spike.
White, sweating profusely, swung the sword and blocked in front of Sasuke.
He looked terrified as he stared at the man in front of him.
The aura this man gave off felt incredibly oppressive to White.
This person was not easy to deal with. Even just sensing his presence felt like his throat was being squeezed.
"Uchiha… Sasuke!"
Kimimaro didn't directly address White, but his gaze landed on Sasuke.
Kimimaro looked at Sasuke emotionlessly.
He had not yet been brought under Orochimaru's control, but he was already highly valued by him.
Kimimaro had mixed feelings toward Sasuke he both admired and resented him.
Admired because Orochimaru had found a suitable vessel in Sasuke, and resented because it was Sasuke and not him.
Sasuke patted White on the shoulder and stepped forward.
"Kimimaro, right?"
"Thank you for taking care of these people. I'll take the Sealing Book."
Kimimaro frowned upon hearing this.
Orochimaru's orders were not like this!
But… Sasuke seemed to intend to steal the Sealing Book himself, which meant Sasuke would become a rogue ninja.
This meant Sasuke was leaving Konoha?
Was he planning to follow Orochimaru?
