The Plan Officially Begins

Kaguya hurried towards the arena, even forgetting to bring her fox mask.

Explosions continued to sound from ahead, and several places in the distance were billowing with thick smoke, indicating battles were already underway.

What worried her the most was the square purple beam above the arena roof, shooting straight into the sky. She recognized it as the Four Violet Flames Formation, the barrier that had trapped the Third Hokage.

Kaguya panted heavily, her chest heaving, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, trickling down her cheeks. But she didn't stop, instead speeding up.

Finally, she got closer to her target and could vaguely see the figures inside the Four Violet Flames Formation.

At that moment, several shadows appeared in front of her, rushing towards her and throwing kunai.

Kaguya didn't have the leisure to play with them. She extended her fair hand, and a powerful repulsive force burst from her hand. The ninjas in front of her were struck as if hit by a heavy blow, spitting blood and flying backward, crashing to the ground silently.

Kaguya stopped, bending over with her hands on her knees, panting heavily, sweat pouring down.

The fever was getting worse, and she could feel the heat emanating from her body. This illness had come at a terrible time.

But there was no time to complain. Kaguya straightened up and accelerated, rushing towards the distance.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru had reached a critical point. Inside the Four Violet Flames Formation, Orochimaru had used the Impure World Reincarnation to revive the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

The Third Hokage had summoned Enma, the Monkey King, but he was old, and his physical condition was far from what it used to be. Fighting against the First and Second Hokages was a struggle, even though the two Hokages were not at their full power.

"Wood Style: Nativity of a Sea of Trees!"

Trees sprouted from beneath the rooftop tiles, growing rapidly in the wind, filling the entire barrier. The Third Hokage dodged swiftly, but there were too many trees, and the space inside the barrier was too small. He was struck in the chest by a tree and thrown back.

Blood trickled from the Third Hokage's mouth, and he panted heavily, his body drenched in sweat. Age had taken its toll, and he was no longer as strong as he used to be. If he were in his prime, Orochimaru might not have been a match for him.

"Do I have to use that jutsu?" the Third Hokage thought, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

At that moment, a silver-haired girl leapt onto the rooftop.

Her long hair flowed like smoke and waterfalls, her skin was fair and smooth, her eyebrows arched like distant mountains, and her eyes were like autumn waters. Her delicate nose and moist lips exuded charm. She was Kaguya, who had rushed over.

One had to admit, Kaguya was becoming more beautiful. It wasn't noticeable without a comparison, but if compared to the true form of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, she was clearly much more attractive. Whether this was caused by crossing over or her Tenseigan, it was unknown.

"I finally made it," Kaguya said, wiping the sweat from her face and lightly touching her chest, panting slightly.

"Who are you?" said an Anbu ninja outside the Four Violet Flames Formation. "Are you Kaguya?"

Due to the earlier 100 million ryo bounty incident, her name had spread widely in the village. By now, probably no one didn't know Kaguya, especially with her distinctive silver hair.

"How is it?" Kaguya anxiously looked towards the barrier, searching for the old man's figure.

"It's not good, Orochimaru has summoned the First and Second Hokages," the Anbu ninja said. "If this continues..."

"And you guys are just standing here doing nothing?" Kaguya raised an eyebrow.

"We tried to rescue the Hokage, but we were blocked by the Four Violet Flames Formation," the Anbu ninja explained.

"Then go help elsewhere in the village, I'll handle this," Kaguya said as she walked towards the Four Violet Flames Formation.

"But..."

"Go now!" Kaguya turned her head sharply, her eyes flashing with a pale blue light.

The Anbu ninja was startled, involuntarily taking a step back.

The powerful aura that erupted from this young girl was something they had only ever felt from the Hokage. Could it have been an illusion, given how young she was?

Kaguya didn't pay them any more attention and continued towards the Four Violet Flames Formation.

The Anbu ninjas exchanged glances, then disappeared in a flash, leaving the area.

"It seems someone else is trying to rescue you," Orochimaru glanced at Kaguya, then smiled at the Third Hokage. "Sensei."

"What?" The Third Hokage was shocked, quickly turning around.

He saw Kaguya had already approached the Four Violet Flames Formation.

"Fool," the Third Hokage shouted at Kaguya, "This barrier can't be broken from the outside!" Before he could finish his sentence, the First Hokage landed a punch on his face, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

Kaguya gently tapped her chin with her finger, pondering a method.

The Four Violet Flames Formation was a barrier created by Sakon and Ukon, Tayuya, Kidomaru, and Jirobo, the four individuals currently inside the barrier. They positioned themselves at the north, south, east, and west points to form the barrier, creating a flaming wall that prevented outsiders from entering. Anyone who touched the barrier would be burned.

In her memory, there didn't seem to be an effective way to break this barrier. The only method that might work now was that one...

The Third Hokage was already exhausted, covered in wounds, and looked like he wouldn't last much longer.

Kaguya didn't hesitate any longer and began forming hand seals.

The technique she was about to use required an enormous amount of chakra, and in her current weakened state, it was difficult to concentrate.
