"I... lost..."
Fugaku Uchiha half-knelt on the ground, covered his eyes and spoke with difficulty.
I bet on the Uchiha Clan's future and the battle for glory, but I lost completely, and I am convinced.
He did not use his Dojutsu to speculate on how strong Orochimaru was.
Because his intuition told him that he would be blind.
That was a dangerous intuition that Hiruzen Sarutobi and some other powerful ninjas could not bring to him.
With Mangekyō Sharingan, he believes that even if his power is compared to Five Kage, there is not much difference.
"Could it be said that...Orochimaru's strength has... beyond the level of Five Kage, and is close to or even reaching... the realm of that person!"
If he took refuge with a strong man of this level, he would think it was acceptable.
Uchiha worships the strong and worships power!
"Fugaku is really extraordinary, even compared to Dai and Zixiao!"
Orochimaru stepped forward, stretched out his palm and placed it in front of Fugaku Uchiha. His words reminded Fugaku Uchiha that he was not the only one with his level of power under his command.
Fugaku Uchiha also extended his palm to hold Orochimaru together, and was then pulled up from the ground by Orochimaru.
He straightened his clothes a little and bowed to Orochimaru in the ancient ritual of Warring States Period.
Uchiha has been inherited for thousands of years, and he also attaches great importance to these, not to mention a serious and old-fashioned person like Fugaku Uchiha.
"Uchiha Clan, I am willing to work for Lord Orochimaru from now on!"
Orochimaru nodded and accepted the gift.
In Fugaku's mouth, the title Orochimaru has been changed from senior to adult. This is a change brought about by the change in status and relationship between the two parties.
"After watching it for so long, are you finally willing to come out?"
Orochimaru turned his head, because Fugaku was crushed during the entire battle, and the woods behind him were not even damaged.
Two figures, one large and one small, came out and saluted Fugaku and Orochimaru in turn.
"Lord Patriarch, I'm sorry. It was Itachi who found someone sneaking out of the camp and told me. I was the one who brought Itachi here."
Shisui Uchiha said gently.
"Just now... you all saw it."
Fugaku Uchiha took a long time to say this in a calm voice.
He felt a bit embarrassed as a father and clan leader when he was beaten violently in front of his son and clan members without the other party even moving.
The two acquiesced.
"Daimyo Ding Ding's Body Flicker Shisui? I heard that you are even younger than those incompetent disciples of mine, but you actually have a record of killing the enemy Jōnin many times. It's really amazing."
Orochimaru found that Shisui Uchiha looked at him with some... worship?
"Lord Orochimaru is an award! You have worked hard for so many years, whether you are disregarding safety on the battlefield or arguing with reason at the negotiation table. For Konohagakure, your contribution to peace is truly admirable!"
Regardless of safety? It was really easy for me to escape!
Argue with reason? There is an effort, but it is not clear whether Orochimaru is justified or not.
For Konohagakure? That's right! I, Orochimaru, have been loyal to Konohagakure for so many years, cleaning up countless unwanted trophies for Konohagakure, and even relieved huge pressure on logistics management!
Orochimaru looked at Shisui with a look of approval.
Shisui Uchiha's heart moved when he saw Orochimaru's eyes.
Lord Orochimaru is indeed just like me, a person who truly cares about the safety and peace of the village!
Meanwhile, Land of Rain.
"Damn it! Hanzō! What are you doing!"
Hanzō stood high, looking down at Yahiko and Nagato, and in his hands was Konan, who had gone to Amegakure for negotiation.
"I thought about it carefully and felt that your organization is still too much of a hindrance to me."
Hanzō's eyes looked down with cold eyes.
"Yahiko, as the leader, you'd better die. Unless... you want to watch this woman die here."
Hanzō turned his head, grabbed Konan's neck with one hand, and held Kunai in the other hand across the front of Konan's slender neck.
"Yahiko..."
Konan opened his mouth with difficulty and was about to speak, but Hanzō threw Kunai in front of Nagato and covered Konan's mouth with the hand that had previously held Kunai.
"That red-haired guy over there, use this to kill Yahiko, so that I can let you and this woman live!"
Hanzō had a playful look in his eyes.
"You two, leave me alone and run away!"
Konan After struggling, he finally found a chance to say a few words.
Hanzō just sneered and did not stop Konan.
"Nagato, do it, kill me!"
Yahiko looked at Nagato, picked up Kunai and put it in Nagato's hand.
Nagato held Kunai and stood there blankly.
Yahiko glanced at Konan with nostalgia, and then unexpectedly and resolutely hit Nagato.
Nagato's eyes were shaken, and he heard Yahiko weakly say in his ear:
"No matter what, I must take my share and live together with Konan... and... remember what teacher Jiraiya said, you are the savior of this world, the savior of this desperate world... you..."
The sound of falling to the ground was heard.
Nagato stared at Rinnegan in disbelief, looking at Kunai who stabbed Yahiko to death in his hand.
"Yahiko!
! "
Along with Konan's heartbreaking voice, countless Kunai shurikens flew towards Nagato.
Nagato stared blankly at the body of Yahiko on the ground, then threw out his arm and pushed it with his palm.
These Kunai and shurikens fell from the air in unison.
He saw Konan, who had been released by Hanzō, kneeling down weakly, and looked at Yahiko's body crying uncontrollably. He immediately rushed to Konan, stretched out his hand and pushed towards Hanzō.
"Shinra Tensei!"
After Hanzō was knocked away, he looked at Nagato who ran next to Konan, with a sneer on his face.
Pieces of Explosive Tag floated up from the ground and wrapped around Nagato's legs.
"Boom!"
Kakkō exploded, and a group of Root ninjas and Amegakure Anbu rushed in the direction of Nagato.
What they didn't expect was that a huge monster appeared in Kakkō. It roared and stretched out its arms, sweeping past.
"Summoning Technique·Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"
far away.
"Appeared! Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"
Obito Uchiha stood next to Zee wearing a mask, the scarlet light in his eyes flashed away.
"Uh ah ah ah!
! "
Nagato let out a scream of pain, and sticks stretched out from Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, piercing into his body and absorbing Chakra.
Demonic Statue of the Outer Path opened its big mouth, and a purple Chakra dragon flew out, roaring and attacking all surrounding enemies.
Whether it was the Amegakure wearing a breathing mask or the Root ninja wearing a mask, they were all destroyed by the group. Only Hanzō relied on his extremely fast Body Flicker Technique to escape.
