Chapter 221 Orochimaru: The only Way to Save Konoha!

"Is the news true?"

The eyes of the Third Mizukage also lit up.

This is great, good news!

"It's true."

The Master nodded and said, "I have verified it."

"Because so many ninjas were killed and injured, Konoha is completely inferior to our Kirigakure in terms of middle-class ninjas."

"As for the top ninjas, Konoha only has Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Jiraiya, Orochimaru..."

The Master counted and his tone slowed down.

Because the Master realized that although Konoha had lost Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, it still had many top ninjas left, especially Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

"One-on-one, Kisame team will have no pressure against Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"Fuguki and Ao can contain Jiraiya."

"Raiga and Izumo can contain Orochimaru without any problem."

"Shimura Danzo may not be the opponent of Ming."

"As for young ninjas, we have an absolute advantage!"

After calculating like this, Yuanshi became more confident.

The Third Mizukage pondered for a while and asked.

"What does Yagura think?"

The Yuanshi answered.

"Yakura's idea is more radical than mine. He wants to completely break through Konoha, but I think that doesn't make much sense. If Konoha is really broken up, their ninjas will just give up."

"Getting benefits is more important."

The Yuanshi didn't want Kirigakure to face Orochimaru and Jiraiya lurking in the dark and constantly retaliating against Kirigakure.

It is very difficult to find and kill such top ninjas lurking in the dark.

The ninja world is too big.

Moreover, both of them have extremely strong summoning skills.

If Konoha is really destroyed, these two people will target Kirigakure for revenge and enter the Land of Water, but they will not approach Kirigakure and will not meet the top ninjas of Kirigakure. Instead, they will chase and kill the young ninjas of Kirigakure.

Then Kirigakure will have a very hard time.

Moreover, the benefits gained from conquering Konoha may not necessarily be greater.

Because at that time, the enemy Kirigakure will not only face Konoha.

But the two enemies of Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

The Third Mizukage said, "We can't follow Yagura's idea on this matter."

"If Yagura insists, Master, you should arrange for some ninjas to be injured to create the illusion that they are not strong enough to break through Konoha."

"That person behind the scenes is too radical!"

"I just want to see the war more intense."

"I didn't expect that he had such a deep hatred for Konoha."

"It seems that the person behind the scenes may really be the member of the Akatsuki organization that the Taketori Cat joined."

"After all, Uchiha Madara has reason to hate Konoha."

"However, I still think that it is unlikely that he is the real Uchiha Madara."

"With Uchiha Madara's personality, it won't be like this."

"Unless there is a major change."

"Moreover, with Uchiha Madara's age, even if he survived the battle with Senju Hashirama, he would not be alive until now. Strength is strength, but the essence is still human."

"The life span of humans is only that long."

The Third Mizukage confirmed the future plan.

Uehara Osamu sent Master to the dock.

After watching the figure of the master disappear, Uehara Shuu retracted his gaze.

"In the original plot, the Third Ninja World War was over before the Nine-Tails Rebellion."

"Because the Nine-Tails Rebellion greatly weakened Konoha's strength, the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village once again took action against Konoha, which led to the undercover plan of Kabuto Yakushi in the Hidden Rock Village."

"And the Hyuga Hinata incident."

"Speaking of which, if you want to dig into Konoha's corner, Kabuto Yakushi is a better target."

Kabuto Yakushi's talent is not bad.

Before inheriting Orochimaru's "legacy", he was already a ninja with good strength.

After obtaining Orochimaru's "legacy", he learned fairy arts and possessed the strength of a top ninja.

"Moreover, to gain Kabuto Yakushi's loyalty, you only need to grasp Nono Yakushi."

"Kabuto Yakushi himself does not have much loyalty to Konoha."

"However, I don't know what kind of ninja sword will fit Kabuto Yakushi."

Uehara Shuu looked in the direction of the Land of Fire.

"Speaking of which, the situation in the ninja world has changed a lot compared to the original plot."

"What will Konoha look like after the Nine-Tails Rebellion?"

...

...

The whole Konoha is immersed in a sad atmosphere.

"Shiki Fuujin Jutsu!"

Minato Namikaze sealed the Nine-Tails at the cost of his own life.

It was divided into two parts.

One part connected to himself and was sealed in the belly of the god of death.

One part was sealed in the body of Uzumaki Naruto.

Uzumaki Kushina died.

Sarutobi Biwako died.

There are countless Chunin and Genin, such as Iruka's parents and Uchiha Izumi's father...

What the Uchiha clan didn't expect was that on the first day after the Nine-Tails Rebellion ended, the village actually dealt with the Uchiha clan first and forced the Uchiha clan to move their residence.

"Why?"

The Uchiha clan members who received the news were stunned.

"Did we do anything wrong?"

"The Nine-Tails was not released by us."

"It's obviously Uzumaki Kushina's fault."

The village did not investigate and found out that the Kyuubi riot had any relationship with the existing members of the Uchiha clan.

However, the changes in Kyuubi's eyes that night convinced Danzo and others that Uchiha must be involved.

Danzo snorted inwardly at the Uchiha clan's protest.

"You should be lucky that there is no direct evidence that members of your Uchiha clan control the Kyuubi. Otherwise, it would be more than just a relocated station for you."

"Instead, we will directly annihilate your Uchiha clan."

In fact, Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi had a heated discussion about this.

"Hiruzhan, the Uchiha clan must be annihilated. You have seen the changes in the Nine-Tails. It must be inseparable from their Uchiha clan. The existence of such a ninja clan will do no harm to Konoha."

Danzo said impatiently that night.

"Duanzo, I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet, think about it carefully."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "The current situation of the village is already bad. If there is a civil war with the Uchiha, it will only further reduce the strength of the village and give other ninja villages opportunities."

Danzo retorted.

"But the existence of the Uchiha clan is of no benefit to the village. I don't like Kirigakure Village, but I have to admit that Kirigakure Village's actions against the Oniden clan are absolutely correct."

"When we sense that something is wrong with the Ghost Lantern Clan, we will annihilate them directly."

"And the previous Taketori clan, I suspect the same is true."

"It is precisely because of this decisiveness that the strength of Kirigakure Village can grow."

Danzo had always felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen was too indecisive, not as decisive as himself.

It is precisely because of this indecision that I made many wrong choices.

If he were the Hokage, it would be impossible for Konoha to be in this situation.

"No, annihilation is not possible."

Danzo wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"That's enough, Danzo, stop talking, I am the Hokage."

These words made Danzo's veins pop.

Danzo could no longer remember how many times he was pressed down by these words.

But this time, Danzo felt that he could refute.

"Hiruzhan, you are no longer Hokage. You have stepped down from the position of Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

"No, the Fourth Hokage Minato has died, so I, the Third Hokage, will temporarily take over as Hokage until the situation in the village stabilizes and a new Hokage is elected."

Danzo compromised again.

The operation to annihilate the Uchiha turned into just changing the Uchiha's station to the edge of the village.

However, for the people of Konoha, this is no different from directly saying that the Nine-Tails Rebellion is related to the Uchiha clan.

Because the reason is very simple.

Why should people who made no mistakes be punished?

Uchiha must be punished because he has something to do with the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Uchiha Itachi walked along, looking at the ruins on both sides, and felt that the villagers' eyes were looking at his back, full of resistance and disgust, as if they were looking at a sinner.

The villagers looked at Uchiha in a bad way in the past.

However, it is far from comparable to what it is now.

"Could it be that the Nine-Tails Rebellion is really related to the family?"

"The conflicts and conflicts between the family and the village are getting worse and worse."

"What to do after that?"

Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but think of the Taketori clan and the Oniden clan in Kirigakure Village.

"I don't know how that ghost lamp Izumo felt at that time."

"And the Taketori cat, does it have any other reason for attacking the Taketori clan?"

Uchiha Itachi didn't know why he cared more about these two people.

There are obviously many other members of the Zhutori clan and the Ghost Light clan.

The current leader of the Kaguya clan, Kaguya Masui.

There is also the ghost full moon who has become a "rebellious ninja".

The news of the Nine-Tails Rebellion instantly suppressed the genocide of the Ghost Lantern clan.

The entire ninja world, no, the entire world, is talking about it.

"Golden flash, what a pity."

Even hostile ninjas can't help but feel pity for Namikaze Minato's death.

Such a young Kage level ninja.

He had just succeeded as Hokage not long ago.

Of course, other ninja villages only expressed pity verbally.

Without Namikaze Minato, Konoha's strength has dropped significantly, and other ninja villages will definitely be happy to see it.

Especially the Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure villages that are hostile to Konoha.

There was obviously no discussion, but like "brothers" who had cooperated countless times and had excellent tacit understanding, they all exerted more pressure on Konoha.

Like three lone wolves surrounding an old, injured bison.

They all want to eat the flesh and blood from this old cow.

Konoha has too many resources.

So tempting.

Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mito Kadeni, Koharu Koharu, Jiraiya, Orochimaru.

Six people gathered together.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a sad expression on his face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen originally thought that no matter what happened to Konoha, the worst outcome would be to end the war with surrender, just like other ninja villages in the past.

It will cause relatively large losses to the village.

However, with slow management, the village's strength will surely be restored.

After the Second Ninja World War, Konoha also suffered a great loss.

But it has recovered.

He spent time to train Asuma.

After Minato Namikaze abdicated, he pushed Asuma to succeed the position of Hokage.

But what Sarutobi Hiruzen did not expect was that the situation was not in his plan at all.

The sudden outbreak of the Nine-Tails Rebellion gave other ninja villages an opportunity to not accept Konoha's surrender.

Everyone was silent.

No one could think of a better way.

Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu were limited by their talents.

The two were just two ordinary elite jonin.

And at their age, it is hard to say whether their strength is still at the level of elite jonin.

Jiraiya was extremely tired.

Facing the army of Kumogakure, Jiraiya tried his best.

But he was defeated.

One-on-one, Jiraiya was not afraid of anyone.

But the ninjas below were no match at all.

In terms of quantity and quality, Kumogakure Village had the advantage.

Moreover, all of a sudden, he also got the news of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

His favorite disciple, Minato Namikaze, died.

Jiraiya only felt exhausted physically and mentally.

Orochimaru glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a faint expression.

Ever since he failed in the competition for the position of Hokage in an unreasonable way, Orochimaru's mentality has changed.

Later, facing the Iwagakure army, he also adopted a more conservative way of fighting.

Fighting and retreating.

Not as desperate as Jiraiya, trying his best.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes swept back and forth.

Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed that Danzo seemed to be preparing to make some moves.

So, he spoke first.

Originally, he wanted to ask Jiraiya.

But looking at Jiraiya's look, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Jiraiya had no way out and was in a very bad mood.

"Orochimaru, you tell me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had to look at this disciple, who he didn't like so much.

But he was still a disciple after all.

Orochimaru was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to call him.

After thinking for a moment, Orochimaru said.

"The Nine-Tails Rebellion brought great losses to Konoha. If Minato's death can be replaced by Tsunade, the death of a core ninja cannot be compensated by one or two ninjas."

"Konoha's situation is very bad."

"If you ask me, the only way I can think of is one way."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect Orochimaru to be able to think of a way. His eyes lit up and he asked quickly.

"What way?"

Orochimaru said: "I remember that the second generation Hokage created a technique called the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, which can allow the souls of the dead to return and carry a lot of their strength in life."

"If the first generation Hokage, the second generation Hokage, and even Uchiha Madara can be reincarnated by the Impure World Reincarnation."

"Then Konoha will have the possibility of overcoming this difficulty."
