The world was engulfed in darkness.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was trapped.
At least, Orochimaru had been contained. The only one who could potentially foil Uzumaki Naruto's plan was Jiraiya, who had returned.
Tsunade remarked, "I remember watching Bai Ming's Konoha Collapse plan, Jiraiya should be back soon."
Ohnoki added, "Indeed! The only person who can still help Konoha now is him."
Shizune pointed out, "Look, Lord Jiraiya is back."
"Summoning Technique Ā· Yatai Collapse Technique."
Boom!
With the appearance of Toad Hiroshi, the massive snake that had invaded Konoha was crushed.
"Master Jiraiya."
Ibiki, who had been struggling, finally saw a glimmer of hope.
He eagerly rushed to Jiraiya's side.
"Where's the old man?"
"The Third Hokage is still at the venue," Ibiki said. "The situation there seems even worse."
Jiraiya nodded, "The situation is really bad."
He glanced at the venue, spotting the purple barrier and Shukaku. It was obvious that Sarutobi Hiruzen was trapped by it.
"You guys stay here. I'm going to the venue to assist."
As Jiraiya spoke, another massive plume of white smoke rose from the venue.
The next moment, Toad Bunta appeared before his eyes.
"It's Naruto, but wait..."
Jiraiya's expression shifted as he noticed the faint red glow emerging from Naruto's body and the three tails flickering in the wind.
Instantly, he realized that Uzumaki Naruto had entered the state of a tailed beast.

Chūnin Exam Venue
Inside the spiritual world of Uzumaki Naruto.
Nine Tails: "It seems Jiraiya is coming this way."
"I know!" Naruto replied, his voice calm. "In fact, it was because I sensed his presence that I entered the tailed beast state."
"Are you planning to fight Gaara?" Nine Tails questioned.
Naruto shook his head slightly, a cunning glint in his eyes. "Big fox, look over there."
Naruto pointed toward the barrier atop the high platform.
Nine Tails blinked in confusion, then asked, "What's going on over there?"
"I think Sarutobi Hiruzen is in a tough spot. He's facing Orochimaru, who is nearly at Kage-level strength, plus the First Hokage and Second Hokage from the Impure World Reincarnation."
"The strength of those two is nothing to scoff at."
As Naruto spoke, Nine Tails pondered for a moment, realizing something was off about the First Hokage. "Hmm, it feels like he hasn't unleashed his full strength."
"Could this be because of the Impure World Reincarnation?" Naruto shrugged. "There's such a thing as Reanimation Jutsu in this ninja world? Resurrecting people, but turning them into puppets controlled by someone else."
"That's interesting."
Naruto smiled. "Anyway, enough about that. I'm going to do something big now."
He smirked, his eyes sharp.
"I'm going to break the barrier trapping the Third Hokage and set him free."
Nine Tails froze, stunned by Naruto's words.
The sudden turn of events left the onlookers bewildered.
Ohnoki laughed. "Could it be that Naruto has switched his target from Gaara to Konoha's Hokage?"
Terumi Mei joined in, "Incredible! He really intends to free the trapped Third Hokage."
Fourth Raikage nodded. "It seems like Gaara already said what needed to be said, so Naruto is shifting his focus to rescuing Sarutobi Hiruzen."
One observer added, "I guess it's no surprise. After all, the village is already destroyed, so why not help out?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in frustration. "Jiraiya, you fool."
"What do you mean, old man?" Jiraiya shot back.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, exasperated, muttered, "Idiot!"
Orochimaru chuckled. "Jiraiya, take a good look. Soon enough, Naruto will explain things to you."

In Naruto's Spiritual World
Nine Tails: "What on earth are you planning now, Naruto?"
Naruto: "Big fox, take a look at where they are." He pointed toward the roof, where the barrier had been set up. "If people from the outside enter through the roof, they can break through the barrier."
Nine Tails blinked in realization. "So, why didn't they do that?"
"Also, the barrier is being maintained by Orochimaru's subordinates at each of the four corners. With the Third Hokage's ability, he could work with Anbu to interfere with one of them."
"Although those four are also protected by a small barrier, a sufficiently powerful ninjutsu could cause problems for them."
"If not... the Third Hokage, even though he's old, should still be able to break through a roof."
Naruto's eyes gleamed. "You're right. The Hokage doesn't want to break out of the barrier. It's not because he's incapable, but because he doesn't want to release the other two."
Nine Tails began to piece it together. "So, you mean..."
"Exactly!" Naruto grinned. "Orochimaru's goal is to fight the Third Hokage. They've agreed to this. Meanwhile, Sarutobi doesn't want the First and Second Hokage to start attacking recklessly."
"If the barrier is broken, that balance would collapse."
"And when that happens..." Naruto's voice lowered dangerously. "Jiraiya will be forced to rely on me to use your power to stop it."
Nine Tails was shocked. "So, you've planned it all along."
Naruto shrugged. "What can I say? It's a calculated risk."
"But if Jiraiya doesn't hand over the key to the Eight-Sign Seal?" Nine Tails asked.
Naruto paused for a moment. "Then I'll figure it out myself."
Nine Tails twitched an ear. "So, you've already thought of a backup plan?"
"Don't worry," Naruto said with a wink, "No one will be able to stop me."
At that moment, the Nine Tails finally understood the scope of Naruto's plans. "This kid's methods are terrifying."

As the scene continued to unfold, it became apparent that Uzumaki Naruto's strategy was beyond anything anyone had expected.
Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Jiraiya were all taken aback by Naruto's sudden and sharp strategic moves.
The onlookers, including the leaders of other villages, couldn't help but marvel at the sheer audacity of Naruto's plan. It was a masterstroke, one that not only foiled Orochimaru's ambitions but also turned the tide in favor of Konoha.
With the barrier shattered, Sarutobi Hiruzen was freed, but the battle was far from over. As Jiraiya and Naruto braced themselves for the next phase of the fight, it was clear that Uzumaki Naruto was the true force to be reckoned with.

The Mianma Legion became a major talking point as Naruto had secretly dispatched his Shadow Clones to handle various tasks, even while engaging in the chaos. His ability to execute such an elaborate plan while simultaneously focusing on rescuing the Hokage left everyone in awe.
Sakura marveled at Naruto's power. "Just like Black Naruto, you can create an army with your clones."
Ino nodded. "That makes perfect sense."
Shikamaru raised an eyebrow. "This Mianma Legion... I bet it's all about gathering intel and securing the village."
The audience, once skeptical, now realized that Naruto was no mere child. He was a strategist and a warrior whose actions were shaping the future of Konoha.

"Hahaha..."
Gaara laughed as he witnessed Naruto's new transformation. "You've really done it now, Naruto."
Toad Bunta, initially confused, understood what was at stake. "Alright, Naruto. You're on your own now."
With the battles escalating around them, both Naruto and Jiraiya prepared for the next showdown.
The battle for Konoha had only just begun.
