Orochimaru Really Stirred Up Something Huge!

"I don't want this gift!"

Shimura Danzo understood this perfectly well.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya Tsunade to die in the Nine Tails Riot that night, it would mean that Konoha would suffer a major blow, as they were of great importance to the Konoha!

"But..."

"If they all die..."

Yakushi Kabuto, adjusting his glasses, smiled and struck at Danzo's weak spot, "There's really no one suitable to become Hokage in the village..."

"..."

Shimura Danzo's heart began to pound.

Indeed...

If they are all dead...

So, the remaining candidates to become Hokage...

It seems that only he, the former Hokage Assistant, is left!

"Snort..."

"You've said so much..."

"But they didn't accomplish anything either!"

Shimura Danzo had already received information through his operatives in the Anbu that the village had not suffered any major losses due to the Nine Tails Riot.

It wasn't exactly a false alarm.

However, it was definitely all bark and no bite.

I heard...

Shimura Danzo slowly sipped his tea, seemingly mentioning something casually. "You obtained the Uzumaki Clan's treasure?"

"Good."

Yakushi Kabuto nodded, smiling as he continued, "This treasure can be used in conjunction with the Impure World Reincarnation; to be precise, it can obtain powerful souls..."

"..."

Shimura Danzo immediately lost interest.

Because he has never mastered the Impure World Reincarnation.

However, this did not stop Shimura Danzo his opinions. He even criticized Orochimaru's behavior. "What exactly has Orochimaru been doing all these years? Didn't he say he was going to kill that Rinnegan user and provide me with a Rinnegan?"

"Now..."

"Has he still not been able to solve it?"

"..."

Yakushi Kabuto's eyes suddenly lowered, and he said without changing his expression, "There's been a small problem..."

"What could be the situation?"

Shimura Danzo snorted coldly, his contempt for Orochimaru's methods reaching its peak. "That guy can't even control someone as easily fooled as Shirou Emiya..."

Even...

They even took his Kotoamatsukami Sharingan!

Shimura Danzo's mistake was simply intolerable to Orochimaru!

If Orochimaru hadn't left him an arm last time, showing that his scientific technology was still useful, Shimura Danzo would have wanted to abandon that Orochimaru guy!

But...

Shimura Danzo soon stopped thinking that way.

"The situation is a little bit bad."

"The strength of that Rinnegan user seems to be somewhat beyond our expectations."

Yakushi Kabuto, watching Shimura Danzo leisurely sipping his tea, smiled and continued, "Salamander Hanzo, the leader of Hidden Rain Village, died at the hands of a user of the Rinnegan..."

"!!!"

Shimura Danzo's body trembled!

Salamander Hanzo... was he killed?

Salamander Hanzo Akatsuki, was killed by a user of the Rinnegan. Is that user seeking revenge?

Once you start worrying that something bad will happen.

Then something terrible is bound to happen.

Just as Shimura Danzo was filled with doubt and unease, Yakushi Kabuto provided the answer, "According to the information we received, the user of the Rinnegan may seek an opportunity to take revenge on Danzo. This is the second thing I need to do besides instigating the Nine Tails Riot..."

"!!!"

Shimura Danzo suddenly stood up!

Asshole!

Why didn't you say this sooner!

And...

Orochimaru, that bastard!

Knowing full well that the Rinnegan user would come looking for revenge, he still tried to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen and Tsunade, who were capable of protecting him!

Although Shimura Danzo had just been fantasizing about becoming Hokage Position after the deaths of Sarutobi Hiruzen Tsunade, and others, under the deadly threat, his mindset immediately reverted to that of an ordinary Konoha ninja protected by the Hokage!

"Please don't worry."

"We have obtained the treasure of the Uzumaki Clan."

Yakushi Kabuto, seeing the distraught Shimura Danzo, casually tried to comfort him, "We'll be able to revive two even stronger ninjas soon using the Impure World Reincarnation..."

In a sense...

Shimura Danzo was the first person to know about the treasure.

Hokage Building.

With the Nine-Tails crisis resolved, the village ninjas began to discuss Naruto Uzumaki's identity again, and it seemed that this discussion would continue for a long time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen for the village ninjas to return to their posts, then led the most important people involved in this incident back to the Hokage Building.

Obviously.

Ordinary ninjas only need to focus on Naruto Uzumaki's background.

As the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Konoha High Command had many things to consider. They needed to consider the crisis posed by Orochimaru, and what the purpose of the Uzumaki Clan's treasure, which had been stolen by Orochimaru's subordinates, was.

"That Orochimaru guy..."

Jiraiya lowered his eyes slightly and let out a long, soft sigh, "This has really caused quite a stir!"

Even Jiraiya himself was shocked that his former teammate wanted to kill them and even invade Konoha...

It looks like...

That guy has completely fallen from grace.

Although everyone heard that it was Orochimaru's subordinate who did it, everyone believed that it must have been done on Orochimaru's orders.

Orochimaru ...

"Things have changed a long time ago."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said in a deep voice, "What we need to do now is to be on high alert. What if Orochimaru really does invade Konoha in the future..."

"Then kill him!"

Jiraiya clenched his fist.

The fact that Orochimaru sent his subordinates to cause the Nine Tails Riot tonight was simply too much; it was exactly like what that missing-nin Obito Uchiha did!

Unacceptable!

It's one thing if the other party wanted to kill him...

They even wanted to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen and Tsunade!

At this moment, after the Nine Tails Riot' rampage had subsided, Jiraiya made up his mind completely, and a hint of killing intent even appeared between his brows!

What happened tonight...

It's all very clear now!

Having obtained the information revealed by Mizuki from the Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force, and comparing it with the information obtained by Iruka Umino, they now know everything that happened tonight.

Orochimaru sent people to steal the Uzumaki Clan's treasures, and used Naruto Uzumaki's background to lure the child into darkness, thus triggering the Nine Tails Riot. He wanted to use this opportunity to severely weaken Konoha Village, all in preparation for his future invasion of Konoha!

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Jiraiya.

Sarutobi Hiruzen Jiraiya Orochimaru. Even his former teacher couldn't bring himself to kill Orochimaru when facing him, let alone his comrade with whom he had spent every day and even shared life and death...

But...

It's also because I'm hesitant to act.

That's what almost led to a tragedy tonight.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also made up his mind!

If he ever sees Orochimaru again in the future, he, as his teacher, will definitely not hold back like last time. Next time, he will definitely kill that dangerous disciple!

He was just a subordinate...

It almost led to the destruction of Konoha.

If that disciple were to do it himself...

Who knows what kind of trouble Konoha will get into...

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a sense of unease. He was eager to know how Orochimaru would deal with Konoha and what role the stolen treasure would play.

After all...

That was a treasure of the Uzumaki Clan.

As distant relatives of the Senju Clan, the Uzumaki Clan also possesses their own unique power. Who knows what bitter consequences that treasure will bring them...

"We can only take precautions against Orochimaru's situation gradually."

Jiraiya casually sat down by the window and raised the most pressing question, "What should we do with Naruto?"

Now...

Many ninjas in Konoha knew about Naruto Uzumaki's past.

Even though it's still nighttime, by tomorrow morning, the news that Naruto Uzumaki is the son of the Fourth Hokage will reach everyone's ears.

Starting tomorrow...

Naruto Uzumaki's life will be completely changed.

Perhaps that child will still occasionally be looked at by people out of fear of the Nine-Tails, but at least no one will discriminate against or bully him anymore.

But...

That child...

Can we still live a normal life?

"In accordance with the way Konoha once treated the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."

Jiraiya thought of Naruto Uzumaki's mother, and of Kushina Uzumaki, the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha: "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki cannot live like ordinary ninjas..."

Future...

What should Naruto Uzumaki do?

Was he trapped in Konoha like his mother Kushina Uzumaki?

"Never mind, it doesn't matter."

Jiraiya didn't mention Shirou Emiya Naruto Uzumaki was the Child of Prophecy; he simply praised his disciple earnestly, "Naruto is a very talented child. It's good for him to continue training with me..."

"No."

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his drawer, took out a graduation team assignment sheet, and said softly, "I already had plans for Naruto..."

"What utter nonsense..."

Tsunade walked over and unceremoniously snatched the form from Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand. After glancing at it, she subconsciously frowned.

"It looks like there's nothing wrong..."

Jiraiya came over and looked at the class assignments listed by Sarutobi Hiruzen. A kind smile even appeared on his lips, as if he was quite satisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen's class assignments.

"It looks pretty good!"

"That kid Kakashi Hatake is the Jonin leading the team..."

"Sasuke Uchiha in the team has always been both a friend and a rival to Naruto, so he certainly wouldn't be afraid of Naruto being the Nine-Tails. The two of them have a good relationship..."

"Um..."

"It's this little girl Sakura Haruno..."

"I remember Naruto always liked a girl named Sakura, but based on my observations at the graduation ceremony, this girl Sakura Haruno kept asking about Sasuke during the ceremony, so she probably likes Sasuke..."

Jiraiya finished speaking, his eye twitched involuntarily. He glanced at Tsunade beside him, as if recalling an unhappy memory. "That Naruto kid... he won't be able to catch up with this girl named Sakura either, will he?"

However, Jiraiya quickly concealed his feelings and offered his opinion. "Emotionally speaking, there's nothing wrong with this grouping..."

"But..."

"If we look at it from the perspective of the difference in strength..."

"This little girl might not be able to catch up with Naruto and Sasuke anytime soon..."
