In the Original Work, Hoshikage of Hoshikage Village was killed by Chixing for trying to stop Akahoshi from continuing to cultivate with Star Stone.
Akahoshi then took over the position of Hoshikage for several years until the arrival of Naruto's team.
Orochimaru wasn't sure if his arrival had changed the course of history, but he figured that those who were destined to die were still dead, and the murderers had even framed them for the crime.
If Orochimaru and Hidan were just ordinary ninjas, this move would be impossible to break, but their expectations were too high.
Unlike Naruto, he wouldn't find evidence and reveal the truth to the villagers.
Just like Hidan said, even if they did it, so what?
No one cares about the life or death of ants, let alone their cries.
As he slowly walked out of the room, he saw Hidan wielding his flying scythe against more than twenty ninjas in the arena. Due to the opponent's numerical advantage and their unique ninjutsu, Hidan did not gain much of an advantage.
"Is this the Mysterious Peacock Method? It's just a method of using Chakra!"
The ninjas in the arena were all forming hand seals, and the light blue Chakra behind them was constantly attacking Hidan.
Taking advantage of his long reach, Hidan was always able to overpower his opponent with his Chakra blades whenever he was about to Hidan.
In addition, this secret technique allows it to fly and attack from a distance, making it like a giant fly, which made Hidan very frustrated and disgusted with it.
The most aggressive attackers were a man and a woman in the crowd. Their offense and defense were very smooth, and they were the most difficult to deal with.
Looking around, Orochimaru recognized the two faces as somewhat familiar; they were Akahoshi and Natsuhi.
Finding himself unable to defeat his opponent for so long, Akahoshi grew increasingly anxious. "There's only one of them, why is he so difficult to deal with!" he thought. Wait a minute...
He suddenly remembered that there was another partner whose presence wasn't so prominent—how could he have forgotten about that!
Just as I remembered this person, I looked up and saw Orochimaru slowly walking out of the room.
"Natsuhi, you guys hold him off for now. The rest of you, come with me and take down the other one!"
As he Akahoshi, Chakra wings and charged toward Orochimaru at the door.
Upon hearing this, the other Hoshigakure ninjas, who were also flying in mid-air, followed Akahoshi and changed their target.
With a ferocious expression, Akahoshi charged toward Orochimaru with murderous intent. If these two were dead, the crime of murdering Hoshikage would be confirmed.
In the end, there will be no way to prove it when the old man is dead, and all his efforts to send him on his way will not have been in vain!
As Hoshikage's confidant, coupled with his influence, he could naturally become the new Hoshikage.
As for that Star Stone, even if it wasn't stolen by these two, it should be on one of the ninjas who opposed him, or perhaps hidden somewhere by Hoshikage. It's not too late to look for it after things have settled down!
Thinking of this, a sinister smile of triumph appeared on Akahoshi's face.
Faced with more than a dozen reckless Hoshikage ninjas, especially the leader, Orochimaru smiled sarcastically and shook his head helplessly.
"Isn't it good to be alive? Why are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated!"
After saying that, Orochimaru slowly stretched out a hand, and Akahoshi was flying at the front, felt an irresistible force acting on him.
The next moment, Akahoshi's body was thrown forward uncontrollably, and by the time he realized it, his neck was already tightly connected to Orochimaru's hand.
"Remember to clean your eyes better in your next life, or be reborn into the Hyuga Clan!"
Akahoshi, still in shock and confused, hadn't figured out what was happening or understood what Orochimaru was saying when he suddenly found it hard to breathe.
A look of terror gradually rose on his face. He wanted to use the Mysterious Peacock Method to break free from Orochimaru's grasp, but as soon as the thought arose, he felt a wave of weakness wash over him.
The dozen or so ninjas still floating in mid-air were puzzled when they saw their leader rushing towards Orochimaru. They wondered when their leader had developed such explosive speed.
But what happened next shocked them.
From their perspective, Akahoshi was like someone walking into the Net, willingly offering his neck to the other party's grasp.
What horrified them even more was that in the blink of an eye, Akahoshi's body withered and dried up like a deflated balloon.
When Orochimaru released his grip again, a crumpled human skin slid to the ground like a tattered sack.
The ninja floating in mid-air felt his scalp tingle at the sight of this horrifying scene. One moment a person was alive and well, and the next moment only skin remained. No one would have believed it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes!
"Since you've drawn your swords against me, I suppose you're also prepared to die!"
Before they could react, Orochimaru raised his hand again.
With a gentle downward wave of his hand, every single ninja floating in mid-air was sent into freefall.
Even at a height of three to five meters, none of them could escape the force of gravity. When they made close contact with the ground, their bodies were torn to pieces, demonstrating just how terrifying this force was.
In the blink of an eye, pools of blood and debris appeared on the ground.
Orochimaru floated up without even looking, as if he had crushed a swarm of ants.
"Resist again, and kill them all!"
A soft sound rang out in the arena, and the people who were desperately attacking Hidan turned their heads to look. When they saw Orochimaru in mid-air, who seemed completely unaffected, their eyes glazed over.
When they discovered the dozen or so blood pits below him, their pupils contracted, and the confusion on their faces immediately turned into horror.
"Hey, sir! I was just starting to see some progress, and your end is already over!"
Hidan, who had already entered the Hidan of being Corpse Possession by Blood, looked at Orochimaru with some displeasure. He had just offered a sacrifice to the Lord Jashin, so why was it over already?
When his gaze fell upon the mutilated corpses on the ground, he secretly wept. Those were his offerings, how could they have been wasted like this...
"You're too slow. Do you intend to spend the night here?"
The two talked as if no one else was around, completely disregarding the Hoshikage Ninjas present. At this moment, no one dared to make any rash moves, and they all looked at the two with some fear.
One wiped out more than a dozen of their companions in the blink of an eye, while the other was equally bizarre and impossible to kill.
"You have two choices: either lead the villagers to join the Northern Lands, or go down and follow your Lord Hoshikage!"
Orochimaru crossed his arms and looked down at the surviving ninjas present.
Although he spoke softly, the murderous intent in his tone was quite clear.
The ninjas present were all parched and momentarily at a loss, looking at each other, unsure of what to do.
But there are always people who can't see the bigger picture. A ninja, already caught up in the fighting, stepped forward and shouted:
"Don't even think about it! You executioner, even if I die, I will never betray the village!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a laser beam pierced through his head with a "whoosh," and his body slumped backward powerlessly.
"Commendable courage! The Hoshikage of the Pure Land of Yomi needs loyal subordinates like this!"
Orochimaru looked at the crowd with a half-smile again. This time, without him saying a word, all the ninjas who met his gaze couldn't help but drop their weapons.
At this point, they no longer had the slightest thought of resistance. As one person after another surrendered, the dust gradually settled.
"Hmph... I thought there were some tough nuts to crack! Besides, we're not asking you to betray the village, but rather to lead the entire village in betrayal. Doesn't that make things simpler?"
