No one present expected that despite all the guilds being well-prepared, it was Kakashi who ultimately snatched the Wild Boss.
Kakashi's ID was still [Scarecrow].
The Third Hokage was able to recognize Kakashi at a glance not only because of Lightning Blade, Kakashi's signature Ninjutsu.
It was also because Kakashi's appearance in the virtual world was exactly how he looked when he became a Jonin at twelve.
It was also during this period that Kakashi lost his two most important companions.
After watching Kakashi for a while, the Third Hokage didn't say anything, but instead, with a kind smile, he said to him,
"Kakashi, congratulations!"
In fact, the Third Hokage couldn't say anything. Ever since the appearance of the so-called Wild Bosses, it had become a rule that whoever snatched a Wild Boss got to keep it.
When competing for a Wild Boss, everyone could use any means necessary, but afterward, no one would complain about anyone being underhanded.
Most importantly, everyone noticed the method Kakashi used to seize the Boss.
What was it? It was the S-rank Lightning Release that Kakashi had created himself in reality.
In the current situation where everyone's levels were generally not high, what did the appearance of such a high-level Ninjutsu indicate? It indicated that Kakashi had absolutely poured all his skill points into this one Ninjutsu.
Furthermore, Kakashi's own level was three levels higher than everyone's average level.
This was indeed the case; Kakashi had experienced creating an NPC in the virtual world.
His biggest goal in coming to the virtual world was to create Rin and Obito.
Ever since the 'Operator' Wild Boss appeared, Kakashi knew that this Wild Boss was his goal.
So, he started leveling up desperately, even neglecting his real-world missions.
And all the skill points he gained from leveling up, he used to learn Lightning Blade.
He knew that to snatch a Wild Boss, one either needed many people, hoping someone might get the lucky last hit, or a powerful weapon.
Kakashi also thought of a third path: going all-in, putting all skill points into one powerful skill.
Naturally, because he only had one skill, and it was the kind that left him instantly weak after use, Kakashi's combat power was very insufficient.
But to be able to snatch the Boss, Kakashi believed it was all worth it.
Seeing someone snatch the Wild Boss, many guild members began to disperse.
Only the Third Hokage kept his gaze fixed on Chang Sheng Zhe.
At this moment, Orochimaru was still a bit displeased.
He had planned everything, but he never expected that in the end, Kakashi would pick up the spoils.
"Orochimaru, tell me, where exactly are you?"
Just then, the Third Hokage's somewhat angry voice rang out.
"Hehehe, Teacher Sarutobi? What's wrong? Do you really want to kill me?"
Hearing Orochimaru's words, although Hiruzen Sarutobi's current appearance was young and handsome, his eyes held a sense of desolation.
"Orochimaru, return to Konoha and surrender!"
"Hahahaha," hearing the Third Hokage's words, Orochimaru suddenly laughed and said, "Teacher Sarutobi, you really are just like before!"
"How about this: as long as you marry that old man Danzo, I'll return to Konoha. What do you think?"
Orochimaru said this naturally to disgust the Third Hokage.
He knew that the Third Hokage and Danzo were as close as could be.
Back then, while he, Orochimaru, conducted human experiments, Danzo also conducted human experiments, but his beloved Teacher Sarutobi pointed the finger at him.
The reason, surprisingly, was that Konoha needed its underground 'Root'.
At that time, Orochimaru knew that Konoha had begun to rot, so Orochimaru left Konoha with absolutely no regrets.
The only possible attachments were probably his good friends Jiraiya and Tsunade.
Hearing Orochimaru's words, the Third Hokage's face also darkened.
"It seems I can only resort to force!"
With that, the Third Hokage charged towards Orochimaru.
Meanwhile, Orochimaru showed a strange smile, and then his figure disappeared.
Clearly, he had logged off directly.
If he were in combat, he wouldn't be able to log off, but ever since the Wild Boss was defeated, Orochimaru hadn't made any moves, so he naturally wasn't considered to be in combat.
"To actually use the log-off escape…"
Muttering to himself, the Third Hokage also decisively logged off.
He knew that Orochimaru was currently in Konoha Village, and he planned to find a few sensory Ninjas to sweep the entire Konoha Village, determined to find this snake.
On the other side.
In a dark underground base, Orochimaru took off the virtual helmet from his head.
"Hehehe, it looks like I have to leave Konoha."
"I wonder if this virtual helmet will still be usable after leaving Konoha?"
Orochimaru had memorized the virtual helmet's instructions. He knew that if there was no signal, the virtual helmet couldn't connect to the internet.
Orochimaru placed the virtual helmet aside and then walked to a corner of the room, where more than twenty virtual helmets were stacked.
Since he planned to leave, he certainly couldn't leave these virtual helmets here.
Orochimaru took out a storage scroll and put all these virtual helmets into the scroll.
After taking care of everything, Orochimaru left the base.
However, before leaving, Orochimaru also planned to go find Uzumaki Naruto.
On the other side.
After watching the grand spectacle of the Wild Boss battle, Naruto exited the virtual game.
Just now, in the virtual world, Naruto used his authority to search for Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui.
The result was that he didn't find either of them.
This indicated that their current location definitely had no signal.
"Did they leave the Land of Fire?"
Naruto was a bit puzzled.
After all, the satellites Naruto had launched earlier could cover the entire Land of Fire with their signal.
A somewhat puzzled Naruto planned to have Mecha Naruto leave Konoha again.
Itachi and Shisui were both good youths with red ideology, so Naruto absolutely needed to know their movements. As their guide in red ideology, he naturally had to provide them with all sorts of help.
In fact, what Naruto didn't know was that, currently, both Itachi and Shisui had a much higher ideological awareness than Naruto.
