Naruto: Swarm System

"I think it's best if you all stay right here," said Baki.

Just as Baki finished speaking, Kakashi appeared in front of them with a group of Konoha ninjas.

The Fourth Kazekage had kidnapped the Third Hokage, which was undoubtedly an attack by Sunagakure on Konoha. So, Kakashi immediately came to confront Baki and his team.

As Kakashi and Baki were about to clash, Pakura suddenly appeared between them.

"Everyone, stop!"

Seeing Pakura suddenly appear in the middle, both Baki and Kakashi frowned.

"Who are you?" Kakashi asked.

Pakura reached up to remove her disguise, revealing a few blazing white Scorch Release fireballs on her fingertips, and said calmly:

"Scorch Release: Pakura!"

Seeing Pakura's face, Baki's expression changed dramatically.

Although he had strongly opposed the Fourth Kazekage's betrayal of Pakura, he had known about it afterward. But seeing the supposedly dead Pakura suddenly appear in Konoha made Baki realize things were not looking good.

Betraying a hero of the village for political reasons would be a significant blow to Sunagakure's reputation.

Seeing Pakura, Kakashi assumed she was from Sunagakure and frowned as well.

Pakura played with the Scorch Release fireballs in her hand and looked at Baki and Kakashi, saying:

"The Fourth Kazekage has been killed by Orochimaru and replaced. Everything happening today is Orochimaru's doing. You should not fight each other."

Although Pakura didn't know if the Fourth Kazekage had indeed been killed by Orochimaru as Shishou had predicted, it didn't matter as long as she could stabilize the situation and prevent Sunagakure and Konoha from killing each other.

If it was true, that would be best; they could blame everything on Orochimaru.

If it wasn't true, Pakura planned to kill the Fourth Kazekage herself to make it true.

"You're saying that Orochimaru is impersonating him?" Temari asked, shocked, looking at the Fourth Kazekage who was holding the Third Hokage hostage.

"Why should Konoha believe what you say?" Sarutobi Asuma, standing behind Kakashi, frowned.

If they were delayed here because of Pakura's words and missed the chance to act, they would be greatly at fault.

Pakura looked at Asuma with a blank expression and said:

"Because none of you can stop this move of mine!"

As she finished speaking, the Scorch Release fireballs in her hand merged into a single pure white light ball, exuding terrifying power.

Feeling the horrifying energy contained in Pakura's light ball, Kakashi and Asuma broke out in a cold sweat.

They could sense that if Pakura released that Scorch Release light ball, everyone in the stadium would be wiped out.

Seeing the fireball in Pakura's hand, Baki was deeply shocked.

Had Pakura become this powerful?

Seeing everyone's reactions, Pakura retracted the Scorch Release light ball and continued:

"Whether what I say is true or not, follow me and you'll see."

She then headed towards the VIP section, with Kakashi and Baki following.

When she reached Tsunade, Pakura looked at the unfamiliar white-haired woman across from her and asked:

"Do you need help?"

Pakura and Tsunade weren't familiar, but they had met once and knew they were like sisters.

"No, your main task now is to stop the fighting between Sunagakure and Konoha," Tsunade replied, shaking her head.

She then looked at Kakashi and the others who had followed and commanded coldly:

"Kakashi, Asuma, follow Pakura's orders and help her stop Sunagakure. This is all Orochimaru's plot!"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade!"

With Tsunade's assurance, Kakashi and the others immediately believed Pakura's words.

"Father has really been replaced..." Temari muttered in shock, looking at Orochimaru, who had thrown off the Kazekage hat and was chatting with the Third Hokage.

At this moment, Baki and the others also believed Pakura's claim.

The Fourth Kazekage had indeed been replaced!

"Are you done talking?" Raiko asked Tsunade with a smile.

Tsunade glanced at her and said:

"It seems your target is me. If that's the case, how about we take this fight outside?"

Raiko smiled charmingly and shook her head:

"Heh, Orochimaru is the one targeting you, not me. As long as you stay here quietly, I won't do anything."

Raiko's purpose in participating in the Konoha destruction plan was to test that boy from the Aburame clan, to see if he was the person she was looking for.

Now, her target was down in the stadium confronting the boy from Sunagakure, so she didn't want to leave.

Also, until she confirmed whether the Aburame boy was who she was looking for, Raiko wouldn't make any rash moves.

Of course, due to Pakura's presence, the target Raiko was watching was just one of Shishou's clones...

Hearing Raiko's words, Tsunade frowned, anger rising.

However, with countless civilians in the stadium, she couldn't risk fighting here and causing collateral damage.

So, she had no choice but to comply with Raiko's demands.

Pakura frowned at Raiko but left the VIP section, speaking to Baki:

"Baki, tell me Sunagakure's battle plan and movements for today."

"Temari, Kankuro, quickly go bring Gaara back."

"Alright," Baki nodded and immediately informed Pakura of Sunagakure's attack routes. Temari and Kankuro, upon hearing this, rushed to retrieve Gaara.

Meanwhile, seeing his hard-earned Sunagakure pawns being swayed by Pakura, Orochimaru frowned.

He continued to hold the Third Hokage with his left hand and pressed his right hand into the air.

"Edo Tensei!"

A coffin marked with the character "Four" rose from the ground in front of him and the Third Hokage.

"Have you finally taken this forbidden step, Orochimaru?" the Third Hokage said, heartbroken, seeing the coffin appear.

"Teacher, I'm merely pursuing the power of science," Orochimaru replied with a sly smile.

Bang!

The coffin lid fell, and the reanimated body of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, emerged.

Seeing this, Pakura frowned and stopped in her tracks.

Baki, Kakashi, and the others were shocked. They hadn't expected the Fourth Kazekage to actually be dead...

Temari and Kankuro, who had just arrived with Gaara, were also stunned, staring at their father's reanimated body.

Gaara, looking at Rasa, remained expressionless. He had little affection for the father who had tried to kill him multiple times.
