To Shake Heaven and Earth with One's Own Strength

The power structure in Konoha has become entrenched, making it extremely difficult for ordinary ninjas to rise to prominence.

If one day a commoner ninja rises to prominence, it's not because you're exceptionally talented, but because those in power see you as a very useful weapon!

Otherwise, with so many families and so many talented people, why not promote them? Why would they promote you? That's just wishful thinking.

Like Minato Namikaze's rise to power, his opponents were first the Hokage's faction, which suited their interests. On the other hand, his rise could continue to balance the various clans, and no one could say anything about it.

Conversely, if the Hokage is chosen from among the major clans, no one wants to see how they develop their own interests and suppress other clans after taking office.

Konoha's White Fang, Orochimaru, and Minato Namikaze became their top choices.

White Fang is upright and incorruptible, with unparalleled martial prowess; Orochimaru is unruly and has diverse ideas, making them equally unsuitable.

Only Minato was relatively easy to control, and he wasn't obsessed with power, making him their best choice.

Therefore, Orochimaru was exposed for the scandal of human experimentation and was forced to defect! White Fang was falsely accused and met a tragic end!

"Danzo! If you say that White Fang's actions were for the sake of the village's stability, then how do you explain your actions regarding Yakushi Nonō?"

Orochimaru made no attempt to hide the sarcasm in his tone! Meanwhile, Kabuto, not far away, couldn't hear their conversation, but his gaze towards Danzo was filled with resentment and murderous intent!

Sending Nonō to another country as a spy, and then arranging for the child she raised to kill her—this kind of heinous act is probably something only Danzo could do.

"Hmph! I'll say it again: necessary sacrifices for the village are worthwhile!"

Orochimaru didn't bother trying to persuade this old man who wouldn't admit Talk no Jutsu until he was faced with a death sentence, and instead turned his attention to the Third Hokage.

"My beloved teacher, look at how Konoha has developed under your leadership over the years. Can you guess where my eye came from?"

Orochimaru had walked back to the two of them, allowing them to observe their Sharingan more closely.

"The Uchiha matter is over; the stability of the village is the top priority!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spent his entire life seeking stability, didn't have any outstanding attacks, nor did he make any major mistakes. If he did, it was in the matter of the Uchiha.

However, since the parties involved haven't stepped forward, and of course they can't step forward, who gave you, Orochimaru, the right to question me? Don't say you're not qualified; even if you were, I don't believe you have the awareness to speak up for the people!

"Hmph...! The Uchiha have already paid the price for their actions!"

Orochimaru was naturally referring to the Nine-Tails' Attack and the Night of the Uchiha Massacre; his merits and demerits were not for him to comment on.

"But what I want to say is that your way of doing things is outdated! Or rather, you're blocking the way!"

Whether it was the Nine-Tails' Attack, blaming the newborn Naruto, or the bloody massacre of the Uchiha, both proved their inadequacy.

If it were the First Hokage, Second Hokage, or Fourth Hokage Hokage, none of them would have allowed things to develop to that extent. These old guys' decades-long, unchanging way of doing things is outdated!

He also remembered that decades ago he had promised a girl that he would help her become Hokage, and today was the day to fulfill that promise!

"To shake the heavens and the earth with one's own strength, one must first create waves on flat ground!"

"Today, I will reform Konoha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru put his hands together and then slammed them on the ground.

The next moment, three coffins slowly rose from the ground. Two of the coffins were engraved with the characters "One" and "Two," and there was also an unnamed coffin!

"Hmph! Arrogant bastard! Hiruzen Sarutobi, it's time to clean house today!"

Danzo snorted coldly. It was perfect that the two of them could join forces to kill Orochimaru. Who would be the hunter and who would be the prey was still uncertain!

However, when the two saw the coffin slowly opening, their solemn expressions turned into shock.

"This is... Impure World Reincarnation! You... you actually summoned them!"

Three ninjas clad in armor emerged from inside, two in red and one in white, their faces and bodies covered in fine cracks.

This was the Impure World Reincarnation that Orochimaru hadn't used in a long time; he had been preparing for this moment for a long time!

"Huh? Monkey, what's going on?"

The three, confused, looked at each other and then saw Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo right in front of them.

"Teacher!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't even utter two simple words clearly, but what followed was a surge of anger.

How dare Orochimaru disturb their peaceful sleep!

"Impure World Reincarnation? You're the one who summoned me?"

This time, it was another ninja wearing red armor who spoke. He was standing with his arms crossed, looking at Orochimaru with an arrogant expression.

"Hehehe... First Hokage, Second Hokage, and Uchiha Madara! I'm really sorry to disturb your slumber!"

Orochimaru smiled sinisterly, his words polite but utterly devoid of any respect.

Aside from Hashirama and Tobirama remaining unchanged, Orochimaru has now brought in the head of the Uchiha clan, which is going to be quite a show!

However, this time he only summoned their physical bodies. Orochimaru did not dare to activate their souls. With his current strength, he was not confident that he could control three powerful ninja corpses at the same time!

"Hmph! I never thought this technique would be used on me one day! And not even alongside the evil Uchiha!"

Tobirama snorted coldly and glanced at Madara beside him. Madara also gave him a cold look, maintaining his aloof demeanor and not saying a word in rebuttal.

"Danzo! Familiar, isn't it? You've been digging up and studying these two of your beloved teachers for a long time now!"

As he spoke, Orochimaru Kunai into the minds of Hashirama two.

This allows for greater control over their bodies, eliminating any worry about them disconnecting.

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze toward Danzo turned hostile. However, given the current situation, he could only settle accounts with Danzo later.

Hashirama and Tobirama both frowned deeply, lamenting how their disciples were disappointing one after another!

"Uchiha Madara, Danzo is in your hands now. His eye and the row of Sharingan on his arm belong to your clan!"

Madara did not react to Orochimaru's words, but simply stared coldly at Danzo.

From the moment he left the village, he lost much of his affection for his clansmen, but no matter how unwilling he was to admit it, he still bore the surname Uchiha.

Now that he's at the mercy of others, he wants to see how much of the Sharingan's power the other can unleash.

Once Orochimaru exposed him, Danzo stopped Danzo to hide it and immediately tore off the gauze from his right eye and the shackles on his arm.

When the Sharingan was revealed, covering an entire arm, not only was Hiruzen Sarutobi shocked, but even the three reincarnated beings opposite him frowned.

"Danzo... you...!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was at a loss for words when it came to Danzo. Danzo had been wrapped in bandages for over a decade, so it was impossible not to have suspicions. He just couldn't believe that the other party would go to such lengths.

From this perspective, he was indeed a poor Hokage; at least in the matter of Danzo, he was far too lenient!

"Enough talk, let's start the game!"

Now you want to repent and demand answers? Too late! Die with regret, and let's see if you still have the nerve to talk about the Will of Fire!

As soon as he finished speaking, Hashirama and Tobirama attacked Hiruzen Sarutobi, while Madara faced Danzo!
