"Ryuchi Cave!"
As Orochimaru said this name, Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Ryuchi Cave was the place where Orochimaru's psychic beast was.
Ryuchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest and Mount Myoboku are collectively known as the three great immortals Sacred Land.
Among them, Katsuyu in Shikkotsu Forest is the psychic beast contracted by First Hokage Hashirama Senju and Tsunade.
And Mount Myoboku was the place where Jiraiya accidentally bumped into, so he was lucky enough to obtain a powerful psychic beast.
As for Ryuchi Cave, it is where the psychic beast Orochimaru Manda lives.
This Three Great Sage Regions psychic beast is not only powerful, but also allows the contracted person to have the opportunity to obtain Senjutsu, which is much more powerful than the ordinary Chakra ninjutsu.
"But I don't have a psychic beast contracted with Ryuchi Cave, can I go?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a frown.
Generally speaking, psychic beasts have an unfriendly attitude toward humans. Basically, except for contractors, psychic beasts don't have much favorable impressions of humans.
Orochimaru nodded and explained, "You can definitely go, but among Ryuchi Cave, my psychic beast Manda's status is not high. Maybe, teacher, you will be in danger if you go there.
However, there is no other way right now. According to Takenaka Kaguya's moving speed, we will be overtaken by him in ten minutes at most.
We have to go to Ryuchi Cave first, there are White Snake Sage and Three Snake Princesses under her, they are very powerful, I think even if Takenaka Kaguya fights against them, they may not be able to get benefits."
Orochimaru is still very confident about Ryuchi Cave's combat power. In his opinion, no matter how powerful Takenaka Kaguya is, it is probably only on the same level as White Snake Sage.
As long as you reach Ryuchi Cave, you will definitely be able to escape the pursuit of Takenaka Kaguya.
Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "No, when you mention the psychic beast, I also think of my own psychic beast Enma.
Let's do this, you and I will separate and go back to where our own psychic beasts live.
Although Takenaka Kaguya is very powerful, he may not be able to find it there."
When he heard that Hiruzen Sarutobi was not leaving with him, Orochimaru immediately understood what he was thinking.
"Okay, take care, teacher." Orochimaru said nothing more, and quickly Hand Seals his hands, and the next second, his figure suddenly disappeared.
Hiruzen Sarutobi also uses Hand Seals with both hands. However, instead of Orochimaru disappearing directly to Ryuchi Cave, he needs to summon Enma first, and then tell Enma his plan, which is enough for Enma to summon him through Reverse Summoning Jutsu.
Soon, the rear.
Suddenly, I felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru disappeared one after another. Takenaka Kaguya, who was moving at high speed, suddenly stopped.
"Just after Orochimaru disappeared, Hiruzen Sarutobi's psychic beast Enma appeared for a short time, and then Hiruzen Sarutobi disappeared.
In this case, only Reverse Summoning Jutsu can have such an effect.
Haha, it's really a good trick, but do you really think that everything will be fine if you hide in the territory of the psychic beast?
Humph, just hide and see how long you can hide. As long as you show up, just wait for death." Takenaka Kaguya snorted coldly, stopped chasing, and turned around directly to return to Konoha.
Soon, Konohagakure.
As soon as Takenaka Kaguya appeared, Mito Uzumaki was waiting at the entrance of Konoha Gate.
"Takenaka, why are you coming back alone?" Mito Uzumaki asked.
Hearing this, Takenaka Kaguya threw the scroll containing Shimura Danzō's body to Mito Uzumaki, sighed and said, "The little Monkey and Shimura Brat disappeared suddenly before, and they were rescued by that little guy Orochimaru.
I chased for a distance and finally only killed Shimura Brat. As for the little Monkey and Orochimaru, I used Reverse Summoning Jutsu to run away."
Hearing this, Mito Uzumaki breathed a sigh of relief, then she took the scroll and tried to ask, "What about this scroll?"
"Inside is the body of Shimura Brat. He activated Reverse Four-Symbols Sealing Jutsu himself and killed himself. It doesn't count as me killing him." Takenaka Kaguya explained.
"Alas!"
Although only one Danzo died, Mito Uzumaki still felt quite uncomfortable.
After all, she had watched Danzo grow up, and even Reverse Four-Symbols Sealing Jutsu was given to him personally by Mito.
"That's all, Takenaka, we Konoha will issue a wanted order for Sarutobi and Orochimaru.
In addition, according to the conditions you mentioned before, Chunin and Jonin of the Shimura Clan and Sarutobi Clan have all been arrested. If necessary, they can be executed in front of you Takenaka.
However, I hope that even if this matter is over, it will not affect the alliance between Konoha and Uzushiogakure, how about it?" Mito Uzumaki sighed, then looked at Takenaka Kaguya with pleading eyes and said.
Hearing this, Takenaka Kaguya nodded and immediately said, "Shimura Clan and Sarutobi Clan, let Konoha handle it by himself. I believe that sister Mito, you will not do anything in this matter.
As for the alliance, let's leave it at that for now. After I go back, I will restrain the people in the village, at least I will no longer treat Konoha as an enemy."
After saying that, Takenaka Kaguya was about to turn around and leave.
Seeing this, Mito Uzumaki said quickly, "Wait a minute, Takenaka, tomorrow is a good day for Tsunade to take office as Konoha Fourth Hokage. Why don't you stay and take a look?"
"No need, sister Mito, please say congratulations to Tsunade for me. Uzushiogakure still has something to do over there, I have to go back." Takenaka Kaguya turned around and looked at Mito Uzumaki and explained, then transformed into Black Divine Dragon, shot straight into the sky, and quickly disappeared.
"Hoo!"
It wasn't until Chakra, Mito Uzumaki could no longer sense Takenaka Kaguya that he let out a long breath.
"This hurdle has finally passed." Mito Uzumaki said with emotion.
Her original intention was not to ask Takenaka Kaguya, she was just being polite.
Now, due to the operations of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō, the relationship between the two villages has changed. She can also feel that if it were not for their previous friendship, Takenaka Kaguya would not have given her a good look.
Instead of everyone being embarrassed, it's better to just leave it like this.
In addition, if Takenaka Kaguya leaves, it will be easier for her to deal with Jonin and Chunin of the Sarutobi Clan and Shimura Clan. These people are one of the powerful components of Konoha. She can't bear to be executed like this.
Just one month after Takenaka Kaguya returned to Uzushiogakure, Shinobi World was in chaos almost everywhere.
Land of Lightning, in one month, 6 Jonin, 5 officials around Daimyo, and dozens of Chunin were lost. What's more terrible is that Two-Tails Jinchuriki was captured.
Land of Earth was even worse, Jonin lost five people, Chunin lost more than a hundred, and Daimyo died directly because he was too old and frightened.
Of course, this doesn't count. Jinchuriki of Four-Tails and Five-Tails were all taken away by Uzushiogakure's people.
Land of Wind and Third Kazekage were personally killed by Mingyue Takenaka, and they broke into Sunagakure and took monk One-Tail Jinchuriki Bunpuku away.
Although the three hidden villages were the focus of care, they were not the ones who suffered the most. Among them, the most tragic ones were Land of Birds and Land of Grass. In these two countries, everyone from Daimyo to Ninja who participated in the siege of Uzushiogakure died.
For a time, all countries, big and small, felt the revenge from Uzushiogakure. At the same time, they also deeply realized that Uzushiogakure was not to be messed with.
A month later, as the dispatched people came back one after another, Takenaka Kaguya also met them immediately.
After that, after handing over all the large and small affairs of Uzushiogakure to Mingyue Takenaka and Chen Long Chou Niu, Takenaka Kaguya went into retreat directly.
However, just when Uzushiogakure was safe and sound, the wind of war began to blow.
Led by Kumogakure Iwagakure, followed closely by Sunagakure, the three hidden villages directly declared war on Konoha on the grounds that Konoha deceived them and caused them heavy losses.
It is different from the original work of Hokage, in which Second Shinobi World War was initiated by Amegakure.
In order to make the development of Shinobi World more balanced, Hanzo of the Salamander declared war on Sunagakure, Konoha and Land of Iron at the same time. After the war started, several parties were caught off guard at the beginning, so they gained the upper hand. Later, Hanzo of the Salamander expanded, and he launched a war against Land of Water.
Of course, there are two main reasons why Second Shinobi World War broke out in the original work:
First, the imbalance of economic development among countries leads to land grabbing wars;
Second, the hidden villages were in the recovery period at that time, and the strength of various countries was relatively weak, which provided an opportunity for Amegakure to take advantage of.
Finally, in the battle with strong players such as Chiyo, Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya, Hanzo of the Salamander found that his opponent was particularly powerful, so he later gave up the idea of fighting. This can be regarded as the strong players from all major ninja villages ending the battle together.
In this life, because Uzushiogakure was not destroyed, the strength of the hidden villages that participated in the siege of Uzushiogakure was greatly weakened. Internal conflicts in the major hidden villages intensified and they needed to find an outlet.
In this way, everyone finally blamed Konoha for their losses, so after contacting each other privately, they reached an agreement and declared war on Konoha.
However, in order to prevent the flames of war from reaching the territory of Land of Fire, Konoha moved the main battlefield far away from Land of Fire.
Because of this, Land of Rain suffered. Not only did it become a battlefield between the two countries, Wind and Fire, but Hanzo of the Salamander was also hated by Land of Wind because Hanzo of the Salamander came to help Uzushiogakure. Well, Sunagakure's talkers Chiyo and Ebizo, while fighting against Konoha, also dragged Amegakure into the water.
Of course, Uzushiogakure did not sit idly by. Instead, as soon as he received the message, he sent someone to Amegakure to ask if Hanzo of the Salamander needed help. If so, Uzushiogakure would immediately send troops to help Amegakure.
However, I didn't know what was wrong with Hanzo of the Salamander, but I still felt that he was strong enough and directly refused Uzushiogakure's help.
So, not much different from the original work of Hokage, Land of Rain used his own power to simultaneously deal with Land of Fire who had divided his forces, and Land of Wind who had taken advantage of it.
Fortunately, due to the existence of Uzushiogakure, Land of Rain will not face Land of Water in this life, otherwise it may end up like the original work of Hokage.
Let's talk about the war between Konoha and Kumogakure. The two hidden villages had a tacit understanding and chose the battlefield at Land of Fields. Although both sides had a winner and a loser, they seemed to hold back their efforts and did not fully engage in the war.
On the contrary, on Iwagakure's side, as soon as they came up, Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki almost opened up their firepower and directly launched a full-scale war, not only destroying 100% of Iwagakure's The 90th Ninja was mobilized, and he personally went into battle. As a result, Konoha was beaten back and forth, and the battlefield was directly transferred to the territory of Land of Fire.
For a time, Konoha was overwhelmed and fought on three sides. However, shortly after the war started, two unknown Kage Level strong men suddenly appeared on Konoha's side.
One person led Konoha Ninja to block the attack of Iwagakure, and the remaining one participated in the battlefield of Land of Rain.
As for the war with Kumogakure, it was the elderly Mito Uzumaki who led Senju Clan, who had gone anonymous, as the main force, to keep Kumogakure out of Land of Fire's territory.
The cloud of war has almost enveloped the entire Shinobi World. Except for Uzushiogakure, which is alone, most other places in Shinobi World have been ignited with war.
In the summer of Konoha 35, more than a year has passed since the war started in Second Shinobi World War.
Kirigakure, who had been silent at first, took advantage of the situation and directly led Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist's elite Ninja to fight against Konohagakure, and set the battlefield to the southeast of Land of Fire from the beginning.
On this day, Takenaka Kaguya had just come out of seclusion, and his aura had calmed down, when he saw Chen Long waiting outside the secret room where he was seclusion.
"Lord Takenaka, you finally came out. If you don't come out, your subordinates will break in!" Chen Long saluted Takenaka Kaguya in great surprise.
"What happened?" Takenaka Kaguya frowned and asked.
"The war started after you retreated. Kumogakure, Sunagakure and Iwagakure started war against Konoha at the same time..."
Chen Long quickly told Takenaka Kaguya what happened over the past year. After listening, Takenaka Kaguya nodded and said with a smile, "Haha, then we Uzushiogakure didn't participate, did we?"
"That's not true. After you retreated, Master Mingyue sealed the border. Before the war started over Land of Rain, we sent someone to ask Hanzo of the Salamander if he needed help, but he refused.
The past year or so has been spent peacefully.
However, Lord Takenaka and Konoha sent people to ask for our help. The first two times, Master Mingyue refused because you were in retreat and she had no way to make the decision.
But this time, Fourth Hokage Lady Tsunade from Konoha came in person and said that he must see you, otherwise he would not leave." Chen Long shook his head and explained, and then talked about Konoha's request for help.
"Oh? So, Tsunade is still in the village now?" Takenaka Kaguya asked with a frown.
"Yes, Lord Takenaka, Mingyue is talking with her right now." Chen Long said respectfully.
"Haha, then go see her. I want to see how she plans to persuade me to send troops to help her!"
