70 Naruto Versus Menma Part 6

"Oh no! Let's get out of here right now!"

When Hiruzen saw that purple ball, his eyes widened as he shouted.

They immediately rushed out of the Arena with the Kunai. Others also used the Kunai to teleport themselves.

They were several meters away from the arena. But even so, they could still fear the power of those attacks.

"Everyone, use Earth Wall!"

Hiruzen gave the order to those Ninjas around him. Immediately they weaved hand signs and smacked the ground, raising massive Earth Walls around the Arena.

"Miss, we should go."

Seeing everyone leaving in a hurry, Neji couldn't help but feel anxious.

But, Hinata didn't reply. She simply stared at Naruto who was condensing the purple ball on his hand.

The moment he finished it and swing his hand, she nodded her head.

"Let's get out of here!"

Neji held her hand and infused his Chakra into the Kunai.

Whoosh!

They appeared outside the Arena. They turned around just as they heard a loud noise from the Arena.

[Tailed Beast Bomb]

[Heaven Clapping Red Dragon]

At this moment, in their sight, a massive purple ball and a massive red dragon collided. The dragon smacked its head against the purple ball which exploded, covering the entire red dragon in flames.

Boom!

The massive explosion caused a powerful shockwave.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Not to mention the Arena, even the Earth Wall surrounding the Arena was slowly breaking apart.

Bang!

After a few more seconds, the entire Earth Wall broke into pieces and crumbled onto the ground.

"Gulp!"

When those Ninjas saw the impact of the collision, they couldn't help but swallow their breath hard.

"Is this even something that humans can do?"

"No way, right? They are not human."

"Yeah, don't forget he is a demon fox."

When those people saw the power of Naruto, they couldn't help but started remembering how much they hated him.

All that hatred and fear poured out as they started cursing him.

But, the fear was so strong that they didn't even try to ask Hokage to do something about him.

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, a violent roar came from the side. When those Ninjas turned around, they saw the veins of the young girl popping out.

The moment they looked into her Byakugan, they felt an immense shockwave in their mind.

"Gah!"

They froze for a moment before falling to the ground with a scream.

"He is not a demon fox. He is Naruto Uzumaki of the leaf."

The person who spoke was none other than Hinata.

"Yeah, he might be an idiot but he is still the Naruto. He is our friend."

A boy with a tired expression and spiky hair spoke.

"Yes, he is our friend, Naruto."

A fat boy spoke while snacking on the chips.

"Just because you are weak doesn't mean everyone is weak as you."

A sharp and cold voice rang. It was none other than Sasuke.

His expression was still as cold as before but there was a sense of urgency in his eyes.

Hearing their voices, Hiruzen slowly puffed out the smoke and smiled.

"Everyone, this is the Chunin Exam. It is the only place where you can go all out against your rival."

"Naruto and Menma have been pushing each other to their limits and growing stronger. They have now gotten even stronger."

"If they work together, even I might not be their opponent. With their presence, our village will be safe for hundreds of years."

"So, don't worry about the damage they caused or the power they have shown. After all, they are the Ninjas of the Leaf."

After he spoke, everyone else got silent. Those Ninjas who feared Naruto also got silent but their fear only intensified.

This was exactly what Hiruzen wanted. The more they feared Naruto, the easier it will be for him to control Naruto.

His plan for Naruto was simple.

Exclude Naruto from everyone. Make everyone hate Naruto to the point where Naruto feels extremely lonely.

But if that's all he does, then Naruto will become someone just like Gaara. So, he needed to give Naruto a ray of light.

In the darkness of his life, he wanted Naruto to see him as a ray of light. So that Naruto would follow that ray of light and become his puppet.

This is why he never revealed Naruto's parents.

That's why he never allowed anyone to go near Naruto, especially those Ninjas.

This was his plan and it was succeeding.

It's just that the source of light changed. It was Menma who became Naruto's light.

That's why he found Menma extremely dangerous but he couldn't simply make Menma disappear.

After all, Menma was a rare talent just like Minato.

So, he wanted to control Menma as well. It's just that he hasn't reached out to Menma.

At least, he couldn't reach out to Menma as he did with Naruto.

Originally, he planned to wipe out Menma's parents and recruit him into the roots but when he found that Menma wasn't someone that he could control like Kakashi or Jiraya, he stopped.

Menma didn't care about public opinion nor did he care much about the villagers. He only cared about the people around him.

So, he decided to let him feel the love and care of the village. That way he could control him later.

But, things backfired when Menma became even more popular with other kids. The most troublesome thing was that these kids belongs to big families like Nara, Akimichi, and more.

But now, everyone started fearing Menma just like they fear Naruto. So, he immediately thought of a way to intensify that fear.

Someone that can even defeat their hokage would only make them fear these two even more. This will not only cause problems for them but also for Menma's family.

Once they are isolated even more, he could easily bring Menma to his side by becoming light just like he did to Naruto.

When those people heard his words, everyone had a different reaction.

One of them had a strange reaction. This person was none other than fake Kazekage.

He, Orochimaru who was a student of the Third Hokage immediately find out his intention.

He slowly raised his head toward the sky and a complicated expression emerged on his face.

'Teacher, you have truly fallen even below me. This village doesn't need someone like you. It needs them.'

'Yes, after you are gone, that idiot will probably bring her to the village. Only then this village will change.'

His eyes turned red. He couldn't help but remember everything he has done for the village but couldn't get the results that he wanted.

Yes, he was cold and ruthless.

But, behind that ruthless heart, he was still the Orochimaru of the leaf.

An orphan who wanted to protect this village.

Unfortunately, he found something even more important than this mission and slowly lost his way.

'This is the last thing I will ever do for the village. After that, this village will be my enemy. But, that doesn't matter. As long as I can get that body, no one will be able to defeat me.'

'There is no Kazekage. Mist Village is barely recovering. Two Sanin plus two amazing boys will be more than enough to protect the village from Village Hidden in the Clouds and Village Hidden in the Rocks.'

A cold glint appeared in his eyes as he swiftly rushed next to the Hokage.

'So, teacher, it's time for you to go to hell.'

He quickly released a smoke bomb and emerged next to the Hokage, putting a Kunai on his neck.

Bomb!

An explosion occurred followed by four Ninja surrounding Hokage and Orochimaru. They all used the same Jutsu and formed a purple flame array around the Hokage and Orochimaru.

"What happened?"

Because everything happened so fast that it left everyone in shambles.

As soon as the Sand Shinobi and Sound Shinobi saw Kazekage attacking the Hokage, they immediately started attacking those of the Sound and Sand Village Shinobi.

"Everyone, Sand Shinobi are already attacking us. Repel them with all your strength!"

Kakashi immediately assessed the situation and shouted. He turned his head at the Genins and said.

"This is no longer Chunin Exam. Sasuke, you take Sakura to find Naruto and Menma. Other Genins, keep Sakura safe until she heals Naruto and Menma."

"To fight off against these two villages, we need our heavy hitters."

Although Sasuke was pissed off by Kakashi's words, he still nodded his head.

Sakura and Sasuke immediately ran toward the Arena while the other Genins started following them.

"Where do you think you are going?"

Several of the Sand Shinobi appeared in front of them and tried to stop their path.

[Leaf Hurricane]

Bang! Bang!

Might Guy swings his leg toward those Sand Shinobi and kicks them away from the path.

"Your opponent is us."

Kakashi quickly appeared next to Might Guy. Although he didn't speak, his attitude was the same.
