Side Story: The Chronicles of the Naka Shrine's Sweeping Monk's Crossover 11

The third stage of the Chunin Exams officially began.

However, Shisui Uchiha found it somewhat dull to watch.

These little ones looked full of life, but compared to the Chunin Exams Shisui had seen, there was a considerable gap…

That had been a battle of Wood Style Kekkei Genkai versus the Mangekyo!

The group of brats below was truly, pitifully weak…

Even the strongest among them, the One-Tail jinchuriki Gaara and the Nine-Tails jinchuriki Naruto, couldn't catch Shisui's eye right now…

Tailed Beasts—hadn't they always been a toy for their Uchiha clan?

"Is Lord Shisui bored?"

Kabuto, at the side, observed Shisui's expression and chuckled softly. "After all, their age is still young. Their battles truly can't be called outstanding…"

"It's because the upper echelons of this Konoha are too corrupt, isn't it?"

Shisui shook his head, a look of lofty disdain on his face. "In any case, at least some of them should be comparable to Kakashi Hatake, right?"

At the very least, in a training match, they should be able to be on par with Kakashi. This was the minimum standard Shisui considered for a genius.

Kabuto was choked. "…"

That white-haired ninja is an elite Jonin of Konoha! He was in the ANBU for ten years and has a fearsome reputation in the entire ninja world!

A bunch of new genin, how could they be on par with Kakashi!

"Heh heh…" Shisui glanced cryptically at Kakashi in the audience and chuckled softly. "When you truly cross hands with Kakashi-senpai, you will realize what I mean…"

Kabuto narrowed his eyes and returned a kind smile to the man before him. "Perhaps, we will have the chance to cross hands later!"

"Is it about to begin?"

"Obviously."

Kabuto pushed up his glasses, and together with Shisui, they looked at a certain one-eyed man who was just entering.

As a spy who had grown up in the Konoha Orphanage, he likewise hated Danzo.

It was only because of his relationship with Orochimaru that Kabuto could only hide this hatred in the bottom of his heart. Once there was a chance for revenge, he would never miss it.

That time was today.

Danzo entered the exam stadium with a squad of Root ninjas. He dispatched his numerous subordinates to take charge of security, and only took two of his trusted confidants towards the Third Hokage.

The 'Fourth Kazekage' in the front row of the audience seats lifted his hat, watched as Danzo walked in front of him, and his lips curled. "Lord Danzo, since you've arrived, shall we make our move?"

Danzo was stunned. "…"

What the hell is going on!

This guy Orochimaru, he told me to come to the third stage of the Chunin Exams. Wasn't it to let me control the situation?

Why does he suddenly want to drag me into this!

"Hm?"

Hiruzen looked suspiciously at his old friend, who had a look of terror, and then at the strangely smiling Fourth Kazekage. For a moment, he felt that something was not right…

Just as he was about to be on guard and wanted to question his old friend, the Fourth Kazekage suddenly circled around behind him, grabbed a kunai, and held him hostage!

"Fourth Kazekage, what is the meaning of this…"

Hiruzen was not flustered. When he saw Danzo standing in place, indifferent to this, he finally couldn't help but say, "Danzo, could it be you too…"

"That's right… Teacher!"

Orochimaru's sinister voice entered Hiruzen's ears. "These things, shouldn't you have known them in your heart?"

"Bastard!"

"Saru, let me explain…"

"I don't want to listen!"

"At this time, is there any need for explanations?" Orochimaru gripped the Third Hokage's neck and said in a cold voice, "I will kill my own teacher. Lord Danzo should be able to control the situation on site, right?"

With Orochimaru taking the Third Hokage hostage and revealing his true face, the entire exam stadium instantly fell into chaos. Sand-nin and Sound-nin launched a surprise attack on the Konoha ninjas!

The Konoha ninjas were caught off guard. Coupled with the crowded stadium, the Jonin and Chunin were unable to organize a counterattack. In an instant, they suffered heavy losses!

The Konoha Crush plan had finally begun!

Shisui stretched lazily, walked over to Kakashi with a relaxed expression, and patted the white-haired ninja's shoulder. "It seems Danzo is in more of a hurry than we thought, isn't he?"

Kakashi panted, his expression somewhat tense. "I just never thought he would dare to collude with Orochimaru in public and attack Lord Third!"

As a man who had once been bewitched by Danzo into assassinating the Third, Kakashi knew a lot of intelligence. He also understood that that one-eyed old man must have an alliance with Orochimaru!

A moment later, Kakashi remembered that Danzo had brought a large squad of Root ninjas when he arrived at the stadium. He couldn't help but shout to his companions, "Quick, go and inform the ANBU! Be on guard against the Root ninjas!"

"Kakashi, you're not joking, are you!" Might Guy said with a blank expression. "They are also our comrades in the village, right?"

Come to think of it, he had also wanted to join Root back then!

It was just a pity that he had been rejected by Danzo…

Kakashi turned his head and looked at his contemporaries seriously. "Danzo has always coveted the Hokage's seat. He wants to join forces with Orochimaru to assassinate the Third!"

"Understood!"

Asuma Sarutobi was the first to respond!

Kurenai, at the side, deliberated for a moment, then flew up to follow Asuma's footsteps. "Asuma, you go and inform the ANBU. I'll go and monitor those Root ninjas! Kakashi, I'll leave this place to you for now!"

It was unknown what Danzo and Orochimaru had discussed…

The one-eyed old man was clearly close at hand, but he did not choose to step forward and assist the Third. Instead, he flickered, wanting to leave the exam stadium!

This old geezer… he neither wanted to participate in the Konoha Crush, nor was he willing to stop Orochimaru, nor did he want to save Hiruzen.

Now that he has already appeared in this exam stadium, does he really think he can be as pure as a white lotus after this incident?

Shisui flexed his fingers. A pair of pitch-black wings suddenly unfurled, knocking two attacking Sand-nin to the ground!

"I'll go and take care of Danzo…"

"…"

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Kakashi's forehead. He seemed to want to reach out and block Shisui's path, but in the next moment, he gave up…

The entire Leaf Village was in chaos. If they could take this opportunity to clean up Danzo, it didn't seem to be a bad thing… At least after repelling the Sand and Sound, they wouldn't have to face his interference.

Perhaps Konoha could be cleaned out?

Shisui leaped into the air and landed on the stage of the exam stadium. He smiled at the one-eyed old man who wanted to leave. "A grand feast of this level is not often seen… Lord Danzo, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Shisui Uchiha…"

Danzo's face was grim. He said to his confidants at his side, "You two, stop him. I'll leave first!"

The reason he wanted to leave was precisely so that the flames of war would not burn him. As for why he had left the scene after Orochimaru's invasion was over, he could always find an excuse…

As long as his skin was thick enough, others couldn't do anything to him…

However, the next moment, a voice made Danzo's expression freeze.

The Third Hokage was already entangled with Orochimaru. Four Jonin were in the process of setting up the Four Violet Flames Formation to prepare a battlefield for them…

Just as he was about to be completely surrounded by the formation, Hiruzen suddenly roared with all his might, "Everyone, remember! If I die in battle, then kill Danzo Shimura! He has colluded with Orochimaru, and he must not be allowed… to harm Konoha!"

The Konoha ninjas present were all stunned. "…"

The older ninjas were all well aware of Danzo's identity. Who would have thought that a Konoha higher-up would also be involved!

On the contrary, it was Shisui, an outsider from another world, who bowed slightly…

Shisui looked up at the roaring Third Hokage and replied, "I will send Lord Danzo to the underworld… with great pleasure."
