At the end of October, there were fewer and fewer conflicts on the front line. After Fourth Raikage returned to Kumogakure, Land of Frost's defense line also moved to the rear.
Land of Earth, Land of Lightning and Land of Fire daimyo discussed the commission market again. After the news came out, most of the ninjas in Three Great Shinobi Villages believed that peace was coming.
In Konoha Hospital, Orochimaru, who secretly returned to the village, is lying quietly in the special care ward.
"Teacher Orochimaru, who hurt you to this extent?"
"It's as if half of the life force in the body has been taken away, and some meridians have also been seriously damaged."
"Such an injury will affect your strength even after recovery. Most cells can no longer withstand the second squeeze."
Shu Furukawa held the folder and briefly introduced the results of the treatment at the bedside. Orochimaru still looked indifferent and laughed nervously, "Xiu, immortals are real!"
"Sage of Six Paths is not a legend. This world is really interesting."
Orochimaru thought of the Black Rods inserted into his body, with a look of fanaticism in his eyes. He was almost certain that it was the product of Yin-Yang Release.
Although he paid a huge price, Orochimaru still felt that this operation was very successful after being able to confirm some information.
"Teacher, what should I do with your body?"
"I plan to accept the transformation of Hashirama Cells, which will not only repair hidden dangers, but also gain stronger power."
After Orochimaru answered the question, he stared straight at Shu Furukawa. At this point, he had to take the risk and try it.
"Does the rejection teacher have a better plan?"
Shu Furukawa still looked sincere. After frowning and asking the question, he did not forget to add in a low voice, "For safety reasons, you can choose to let your body assimilate Hashirama Cells. Although you will lose some power, the risk is smaller."
"No one is better at this than you, fix it, and I will leave the rest of the reconstructive surgery to you."
Orochimaru gave a simple warning with a kind smile. Shu Furukawa nodded solemnly and responded with assurance, "The surgery will at least restore the body to its original strength!"
Among the Root below Kage Rock, Danzo, who had lost his arm, gasped every time he looked at the information in his hand. He finally couldn't find the matching "Wood Release": "Who is it? Is there anyone in the village secretly training Wood Release ninja?"
Danzo stopped reading the information and recalled the unequal battle, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Wood Release and Black Rods alone have eliminated so many elite ninjas present. As long as they are hit by Black Rods, Chakra in the body will be confused.
In order to save him, Root ninja sacrificed ten people. Danzo felt faintly heartbroken about this, and the power in his hands became less and less.
"Danzo-sama!"
Root After the ninja reminded him in a low voice, Danzo stood up with squinted eyes. He didn't explain much about returning to the village with his empty right arm.
At this time, when an old friend calls, he must ask clearly, and Danzo is already prepared for this.
Inside Hokage Building, Danzo saw that Tsunade was not in the room, and the corner of his mouth curled up. He knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking about his old relationship.
"Secretly mobilize Root ninjas for action at Land of Rain, Danzo, what do you want to do?"
"There is no report and no task settlement instructions. I think you and Orochimaru are harming the interests of the village."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's hairline has moved up a few points after taking off his Hokage bamboo hat. Although he looks older, the aura he exudes is as amazing as before.
"I'm eliminating threats to the village."
"Although there have been heavy losses, Amegakure is destined to become our vassal. If Kirigakure Ninja acts, Amegakure ninja will take over this task."
"Taking this opportunity to fully incorporate the surrounding Small Nations into the alliance, our commission market will expand again, and more ninjas can be trained."
Danzo looked at his old friend smoking his pipe non-stop. Knowing that the other party was heartbroken after hearing this, he immediately squinted his eyes and added, "This is the meaning of the existence of Root ninjas. If they want to bear this darkness, Tsunade they still need some time."
Just looking at the results of this incident, Hanzo was seriously injured, and the threat of Amegakure was indeed reduced by more than half.
As for the Wood Release and Rinnegan they encountered, Danzo wanted to control that power by himself, so naturally he would not mention the previous transaction.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura do not want to lose their power immediately, so they once again support Danzo: "It is indeed necessary to eliminate the threat to the village!"
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, Small Nations has not wavered in the recent battles. This proves that the policy we have formulated is correct, which cannot be separated from the support of Root."
After hearing the words of the two people, Sarutobi Hiruzen's anger did not diminish. He had just promised his disciples not long ago that Root would not act without authorization. As a result, he encountered the current bad situation within a few days.
"This is the last time!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a solemn warning, then looked at the three people in the room and warned seriously, "Don't interfere in Tsunade's work. We can assist in negotiations, but let her decide on her own regarding personnel arrangements."
The two consultants nodded slightly, but Danzo stood up, did not agree, and gave his answer in a low voice, "In the future, I hope Hatake Kakashi will inherit Root."
"Before that, I will continue the will of Teacher Tobirama. The war has covered up the darkness contained in Uchiha. I can feel that power."
Sarutobi Hiruzen once again showed a pensive look and did not give a clear response. As a teacher, he really had to wrap up some remaining matters.
In the evening, in front of Memorial Stone, Shu Furukawa followed Shisui Uchiha to the tomb of Obito after sending flowers as usual.
"Senior, the clan is indeed a bit indifferent regarding this matter."
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. After pursuing power too much, some tribesmen are losing their sympathy."
"Uchiha should be a family full of love..."
Shu Furukawa did not comment. In front of Obito's tomb, you can see many "gifts" from Peer. Might Guy's tights are the most conspicuous.
Among these gifts, there are very few from the Uchiha Clan. Only a few people from Shisui often come to take care of the tombstones of Obito and other clan members.
"If you have any confusion, you can report it to teacher Tsunade."
"Shisui, within the clan, you can also find like-minded clan members. The most important thing about a ninja is team spirit. This is the basic knowledge taught in the school."
Shisui also smiled when he heard Shu Furukawa's words. He had indeed united some of his peers. "Senior, thank you. I won't feel confused if you are here."
"Work hard, and if the time comes, you can be the leader of the Anbu unit at the age of 12."
"Prepare your team members in advance. This is a permission granted by the teacher. Fugaku Patriarch has another quota."
Shu Furukawa patted Shisui on the shoulder and warned in a deep voice. The latter immediately felt a little pressure after hearing the squad leader, but thinking of his own ideals, Shisui solemnly responded, "Senior, I will be prepared."
Obito Uchiha didn't know that most people had forgotten about him. After struggling for almost two months, he finally regained consciousness completely.
In the dim underground cave, Obito opened his eyes and saw the monster in front of him clearly with the faint light. "Ah!"
Obito screamed in horror. Madara Uchiha, whose right face and entire body was covered by Black Zetsu, stared at his chosen successor and said calmly, "Welcome back to the present world, Uchiha's tribe."
Putting on the spare Sharingan, Madara Uchiha looked at Obito carefully with his left eye. No matter how he looked at it, he was not satisfied. Thinking of Nagato, which had awakened not long ago, he finally suppressed his impatience.
"Sharingan? Are you also from the Uchiha Clan?"
"Grandpa, your body... I mean those black things."
The white-haired Madara Uchiha once again recalled his experience on the Land of Iron peninsula. He almost couldn't control his emotions. He took a big breath and responded in a low voice, "It's just a few scars. These are all caused by your destined opponent."
"I'm not interested in knowing who the opponent is. Now I just want to go back to the village."
Hearing the village mentioned by Obito Uchiha, the corners of Madara Uchiha's eyes twitched. As long as Shu Furukawa was around, he didn't even dare to collect information. White Zetsu was the opponent's food.
If he hadn't absorbed a wave of life force with Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in Land of Rain, he still wouldn't be able to wake up.
"Grandpa, thank you for saving me, but I really have to leave."
Obito tried to move off the bed, but the right half of his body suffered severe pain, and he could only fall down again for a while.
"I will make you repay this kindness."
"How much do you know about Sharingan? How much do you know about the power of Two Tomoe Sharingan in your eyes?"
"Just chat with this old man like me..."
Madara Uchiha As soon as he finished speaking, Obito sat up again and saw the old man's shriveled body, dark body and right half of his face, with a look of sympathy on his face. "That's fine, I probably can't move my body yet, so let's chat with the old man."
"Do you know Sage of Six Paths? Immortals are real, and Uchiha Clan is the descendant of the immortals..."
Madara Uchiha knew that Obito's grades in the cultural class were not very good, so in order to arouse the other party's interest, he started with "mythical stories".
Unfortunately, the combination of the powers of the goddess Kaguya, Uchiha and Senju made Obito have a question mark on his head, and a look of confusion on his face. "What is Jili Gulu talking about?"
Obito originally planned to stick to it, but Madara Uchiha's calm tone turned into a "lullaby", and as he listened, he fell on the bed and fell asleep.
"Lord Madara, I said, this guy is a complete idiot."
"It seems that the same method will not work. Let Kirigakure prepare for action and see the right time to implement the plan made before."
Madara Uchiha stopped talking after being warned. It is not an easy matter to capture Rin Nohara now.
Realizing that his previous actions were watched by Shu Furukawa, Madara Uchiha repeatedly recalled the previous battle. Black Zetsu in his body noticed the emotional fluctuations and took the initiative to comfort, "Rinnegan's power can suppress Senjutsu, Lord Madara, I will supervise Nagato."
"As for Sharingan, it can also be used for White Zetsu."
"The combined power of these two pairs of eyes is something no one in Shinobi World can resist."
