The smartest one was Orochimaru. After hearing the Jonin talk about the return of Tsunade, he immediately packed up his things and prepared to run away.
The fact that Tsunade had hemophobia was revealed to his dear collaborator Danzō. Although Danzō insisted on doing the assassination, it still seemed to have some relationship with him.
Not to mention the human experiment that he cooperated with Danzō. If this was investigated, he would definitely be done with it. It would not be difficult for Third Hokage to kill him now.
Orochimaru was waiting for news in a secret underground laboratory in the back mountain. When he noticed that the White Snake for communication and Root's White Snake that had been placed at Danzō's home reacted, he immediately put everything he could get into a snakeskin bag and fled!
It's too late, this wave is really too late!
Danzō was directly placed under house arrest by Third Hokage and was being monitored. Anbu of Third Hokage had also gone to Root, so the experimental records in Root would be found by Anbu in a short time!
There is no other way but to run away quickly!
"Tsunade's hemophobia has actually recovered..."
After much thought, Orochimaru finally pinpointed the cause of the exposure to Tsunade.
The other party has eliminated all the assassins and found out the mastermind. There is only one possibility!
"Orochimaru-sama, are you going on a mission?"
The ninja watching the door also greeted Orochimaru respectfully when he saw him in a hurry.
"Hmm..."
Orochimaru nodded, and then walked out of the door of Konoha without looking back!
One Third Hokage is enough to kill him, and with the addition of Tsunade, which is suspected of curing hemophobia, he has no other way but to escape!
The next day, in the small conference room belonging to the senior management of Konoha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado all lowered their heads and said nothing. The result of yesterday's thunderous momentum was a thick pile of Root secrets on the table and the news that Orochimaru, who had sensed the exposure in advance, secretly defected yesterday!
Hiruzen Sarutobi is really guilty. With his own acquiescence, this old guy has done so many scandalous things, such as secretly cooperating with Orochimaru to conduct human experiments, and previously cooperating with Hanzo to kill Jiraiya's apprentice...
The crimes are really too numerous to list!
Hiruzen Sarutobi knows very well that without his own acquiescence, Danzō would not be able to be so rampant. If Danzō is a capital crime, then he is not far behind.
"Now it seems..." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and sighed with a wry smile, his face seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, "I, Hokage, are really unqualified, Koharu, the gangster, from today on, the Anbu directly under my name will be disbanded, and I will withdraw from the highest decisive line of Konoha..."
Hearing this, Koharu Utatane immediately lost his composure and retorted seriously, "No! Although only a few of us know about Danzō, the impact is too bad! You can't quit at this time! At least you must take responsibility for these responsibilities that belong to you!"
Want to run now? Too late! Clean up your own mess!
Boom, boom, boom!
"Come in."
"Oops Lord Hokage! Uchiha Clan gathered in front of Hokage Building, demanding a face-to-face confrontation with Master Danzō!"
Looking at the anxious Anbu ninja who entered the door, the faces of the three Konoha executives present also changed at the same time. How did Uchiha know?!
After questioning, several people learned that the power of attorney on the client whom Tsunade met at the door when he returned to the village was discovered by the ninja responsible for burying it last night!
The contents of the power of attorney also spread throughout Konoha in one night! The efficiency is terrifying!
The three of them looked at each other and thought, It's broken! I didn't expect there were still missing places! There was more than one power of attorney on that corpse!
"Hiruzen, we are really in trouble this time."
"Yes, to be caught by the Uchiha Clan at such a critical moment..."
The two consultants sighed and looked embarrassed, while Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his head and pondered what to do. After a long time, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head, and the determination in his eyes seemed to indicate something.
"Leave it to me. I'll go talk to Danzō. You go to comfort Uchiha first."
After that, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and walked slowly towards the door of the conference room. He had made up his mind, since Tsunade had returned and stayed at Konoha for the night.
Then this moment may be a good opportunity - a good time for Konoha to erase and wash away the darkness!
When there is sunlight, there will be shadows, but my own light seems to be a little too weak, which means that the darkness of the shadow has already been unknowingly stronger than my own light!
Fourth Hokage, who had high hopes for himself, and whose light might be able to illuminate the darkness because of the sacrifice of Nine-Tails' Rampage, was in the spotlight.
The only thing that can reverse this situation and make Konoha reborn from the ashes and wash away the darkness is Hokage who finds a light brighter than himself to illuminate Konoha!
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer hesitated. Orochimaru ran away, Danzō was struck by thunder, and Tsunade returned (tentatively). This indicates that this time will be the only chance for Konoha to let light overcome darkness again!
Today is Kougetsu Chloe's fifth birthday, so as the director of the orphanage, Nono Yakushi also used the few orphanage reserve funds to buy a small birthday cake for him.
Seeing Chloe taking the initiative to distribute the small cake to each of the children and himself, Nonou nodded in his heart. This little guy is really kind-hearted.
After the meal, Chloe took the initiative to ask Nonou if he could go out with Kabuto today. Seeing the sensible Chloe, Nonou readily agreed and secretly gave a little pocket money to the two children who had become very good friends in half a month.
Kabuto is a genius with great talent. Black Zetsu, who has thousands of years of experience in this kind of thing, figured it out in just a few days. He must control this kind of person in his own hands and make him work for him wholeheartedly in the future!
As for Kabuto, this new friend has a quality that other friends don't have, that is, he is too sunny!
This little friend likes to grin with big white teeth. This sunny and candid smile can light up the entire orphanage, including himself!
Originally, after delivering the commission yesterday, Tsunade was going to take the found Shizune and leave Konoha, but somehow he hesitated at the last moment.
Over the years, this is the first time that Tsunade has stayed in Konoha for more than a day. I don't know what I am thinking, or maybe I am just escaping.
Along the familiar yet unfamiliar Konoha main road, listening to the topic discussed by the surrounding ninjas - Danzō may be the culprit of Fourth Hokage's death. Tsunade couldn't help but wanted to confront Third Hokage, but in the end he gave up. It didn't seem to have much to do with him...
Tsunade, who felt complicated and worried, walked along the urban area of Konoha towards the sparsely populated river bank.
"Don't move! The wound will open! You idiot!"
"Sorry, sorry, hehehe..."
Two children in ordinary clothes on the lawn under the river embankment - Kabuto and Chloe's voice brought Tsunade back from his thoughts, but then he saw the little boy wearing glasses using Medical Ninjutsu to treat the boy with short gray-green hair for a wound that might have been scratched while playing!
This is genius! Tsunade instantly came to such a conclusion that anyone with a discerning eye can see.
"How about it? Tsunade? Do you want to accept me as a disciple?"
"I'm not interested, it's too much trouble." Tsunade curled his lips, not surprised by Third Hokage who suddenly appeared next to him.
"Hehehe..."
Third Hokage, who had been chatting secretly with Danzō all morning about what secret agreement they had reached, stroked his beard and laughed. Although he was a little disappointed, he still kept the appearance of this little genius in his heart.
This is the future of Konoha.
"Tsunade, let's talk."
Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who seemed to have aged several years in just one night, Tsunade felt entangled and hesitant in his heart. After a long inner struggle, he finally came to terms with his heart.
"Okay, it just so happens that I also have something to tell the old man. See you in the evening."
There's drama!
Seeing Tsunade throw down his hands and turn around to leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt happy. Princess Tsunade, who had been away from the village for too long, still had Will of Fire deep in his heart!
Otherwise, I wouldn't have returned to the village at this time and stayed there for more than one day!
Hokage Building, Danzō, who was facing Uchiha Clan, slowly untied the bandage on his head, revealing his white, almost blind right eye.
"Everyone at Uchiha, that commission is just a way for the enemy to deliberately discredit the top management of Konoha and cause civil strife in Konoha. You must keep your eyes peeled!"
Koharu Utatane spoke up at the right time, and Homura Mitokado followed up at the right time. "That's right, Konoha is everyone's Konoha, and Konoha will not do anything that is sorry for Uchiha!"
"Who knows if he has changed his eyes again!"
A jonin of Uchiha shouted, but he was persuaded by the calm-looking Fugaku at the front, who said calmly.
"As Uchiha Clan of Konoha Military Police Force, we will find out the culprit who wants to split Konoha as soon as possible and dispel the false rumors in the village as soon as possible. Today's Uchiha just wants to confirm it with his own eyes and has no other intentions."
Homura Mitokado acted as a peacemaker and said, "Well, now that the truth is out, then Uchiha should go back and work hard. Now that Nine-Tails' Rampage has just passed, there are quite a few spies who have sneaked into the village."
"Yes." Fugaku nodded slightly, and then continued, "But before that, as the leader of the Uchiha Clan clan, in front of the whole clan, I would like to raise the demands of the entire Uchiha clan to the senior management of Konoha."
This is very clever. Behind me is Uchiha Clan, and it's not okay for me to be held up by these people without mentioning it. So, Konoha senior executives, please be a little considerate of your difficulties.
I didn't want to mention it originally, but there were so many tribesmen behind me trying to support me. If Konoha didn't listen, I might not be able to control them.
"You said it." The old woman nodded.
"About the Uchiha Clan's new clan land after Nine-Tails' Rampage..."
Danzō, who instantly understood that the other party did not want to move, was furious and retorted with an official statement, "The choice of clan location affects all Konoha ninjas. We cannot just specialize Uchiha!"
You use Uchiha Clan to suppress me, and I will use all Konoha ninjas to suppress you! Everyone else agrees to move, are you the only one special?
"Firstly, the cost of rebuilding on ruins is different from that of building new ones on vacant land. Secondly, we Uchiha Clan have lived in the original clan land for decades, and the clan members have deep feelings for the clan land."
"The patriarch is right. Of course, if elder Danzō is willing to provide some funds to Uchiha, we can also move."
A certain Uchiha made a righteous voice.
"That's right, not much, one hundred thousand taels is enough."
"Elder Danzō should be able to afford this amount of money, right?"
All the Uchihas responded one after another. Their real intention was to ridicule and stimulate Danzō. After all, the other party's assassination commission amount was only 100,000!
Danzō He was gnashing his teeth and furious. How could he not hear this wave of ridicule?
After all, was that bastard tricking him?
Moreover, the reward for assassinating him was only a mere one hundred thousand taels! Shinobi World is probably the only veteran ninja with such a cheap price tag!
When I investigate clearly, I can't kill you!
At this time, the pacifist Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared at the right time.
"Fugaku, the planning of the clan area affects the major ninja clans of Konoha. How about you prepare a request report and submit it first, and we will consider Uchiha's request as appropriate?"
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, and looked at the good old Third Hokage. Fugaku also knew that since the other party said so, it was a joke, so he gave up and left with the Uchiha clansmen who were still a little dissatisfied.
If Tsunade comes back, Jiraiya, another one of the three ninjas, may return in the near future. What will Konoha and Uchiha do with the healthy sannin? Butt?
At this time, except for the four senior Konoha and Anbu, no one knew about the defection of Orochimaru.
"Hiruzen, you will regret it!"
After leaving such a sentence, Danzō left angrily.
Outside Konoha Village, there is the ancestral hall of the Uzumaki Clan.
Because I don't know which Reaper Mask is Reaper Death Seal, so Shinji is also included in System Space.
Or maybe everyone is hosting this mess of ghosts and gods. After I go back, I will study it carefully. Maybe I can release a bunch of ghosts and gods directly during the fight in the future to stun the friends!
Seeing Konoha who seemed quiet but was actually undercurrent, Shinji, who wanted to go in and have a bowl of ramen, finally gave up. Having Black Zetsu here is enough.
Black Zetsu, who had changed his identity, also asked White Zetsu to investigate the unheard-of organization named Shell and the ancient name Angra Mainyu revealed by System in the past two months.
Through White Zetsu, Black Zetsu, who has discovered the slightest trace of Kara Organization and All the World's Evil Angra Mainyu, has also almost believed in the son System he gave to him.
The other party knew exactly what to do. It was even said that Obito and Madara were no longer necessary for Black Zetsu to resurrect his mother at this time. Even if they were not there, it would not be a big deal.
As long as you keep an eye on those Rinnegan, in a few years, you will be able to revive your mother!
At dusk, Chloe, who was lying on the lawn under the river embankment with Kabuto, looked at Fourth Hokage's profile picture on Hokage Rock and felt sad in his heart.
If you had gotten System earlier, it would be a good thing to have Fourth Hokage as your subordinate. I heard that he is strong, handsome and smart, but I am short of such subordinates!
"Kuro, do you want to be Hokage?" Kabuto asked mischievously.
Listening to Kabuto's words, a picture flashed through Chloe's mind that he had never imagined before - becoming Hokage, leading the whole village of ninjas to protect his mother, and fighting against Otsutsuki and All the World's Evil!
Chloe couldn't figure it out. After thinking of this scene, what was going on in his heart that was so eager to move?
