Zero Hour! The Destruction of the Hidden Leaf Village Begins!

The genjutsu feathers fall and Konoha's nightmare begins on schedule. Sand and Sound forces breach the walls, a three-headed snake demolishes the gates, and in the Kage box the 'Kazekage' presses a kunai to the Third's throat before shedding the borrowed face: Orochimaru, come to settle accounts with his old teacher. The Sound Four raise their violet barrier around the rooftop, sealing master and student in. ANBU can only watch the box burn from outside. Below, jonin and chunin wake sleeping spectators into a war.
