This news is slightly less explosive than the defection of the Uchiha Clan. Although Orochimaru alone cannot be compared with the Uchiha Clan as a whole, Fugaku, Shōji, The existence value of Shisui is difficult to estimate, but they are very different in terms of status. Because of the contradiction between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha High Command, this can be seen by almost anyone with a certain status above Shinobi World.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō just had the words that they were on guard against the Uchiha Clan written on their faces. Although they were a little surprised by the Uchiha Clan's choice to leave, they were only surprised by the method, not shocked by the result itself.
But Orochimaru is different!
Second Shinobi World War's famous Konoha hero is known as one of the legendary Legendary Sannin. He is also the direct disciple of Third Hokage and one of the most powerful Fourth Hokage candidates. Such status all illustrates Orochimaru's status in Konoha!
Such a character would actually choose to defect!?
Not to mention the other ninjas and ordinary people in Konoha, people from other countries above Shinobi World also couldn't understand it and were extremely surprised and confused!
Under the double superposition, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been in charge of Konoha for more than thirty years, which has not caused any great chaos internally. But even so, there are still some small disturbances. For example, Orochimaru's former cronies need to be interrogated to varying degrees in the village one by one!
This is also the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen does not intend to continue hiding the news.
After all, Orochimaru is one of the Legendary Sannins of Konoha. He once led the ninjas of Konoha to defeat countless enemies and made great achievements. Even if his popularity is not very good, some of his close followers still exist!
It is impossible to eliminate all these people, but they must be investigated one by one!
As long as the action is a little bigger, it will definitely not be concealed. Moreover, even if it is concealed now, it will happen sooner or later. Sarutobi Hiruzen is very confident that he has absolute control over the village. If there are some disturbances, he can survive it!
Anyway, he believes that as long as he is here, Konoha will not be able to cause chaos!
All decisions made by Sarutobi Hiruzen are based on their own ideas and the one that feels the most prudent and has the least risk after analyzing the situation!
If an uncontrollable accident occurs, it is definitely not your own problem.
It's because this is an 'uncontrollable factor'!
This is Third Hokage-Sarutobi Hiruzen of Konoha!
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the judgment he made in dealing with the relationships between Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure. This is what he considers to be the best choice!
Shimura Danzō, who did not come to attend the high-level meeting this time, only smiled coldly and did not make too many remarks after learning about the choice made by Sarutobi Hiruzen through his own special channels.
Anyway, Danzo no longer cares about these so-called vulgar things. He has his own plans and goals!
"Go, contact him immediately. Once you find him, reply immediately. Remember, this is the first priority order!"
He just stayed in his Root and issued the most severe orders to his Root subordinates in a tone that was unquestionable!
"Yes!"
Immediately after waving his hands to let those Root members leave.
Danzo raised his chin slightly, reflecting the dim atmosphere around him. A cold look appeared on his face, and he murmured in a low voice, "Hiruzen Sarutobi, Uchiha Shōji, and Kumogakure, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, you all have to wait for me. One day, I will let you know who is the only correct existence above Shinobi World!"
Their respective plans and the different attitudes revealed by Iwagakure caused this wave of waves, and it also slowly disappeared because of Iwagakure. Unlike Land of Water Kirigakure, which is far above the sea and far away from the mainland., Iwagakure, Konoha, Kumogakure, Sunagakure and those small countries are all connected on the mainland. It can be said that one move affects the whole body. Any change at any point will directly affect the overall situation!
This is true for the small ninja villages of Kusagakure, Amegakure, and Yugakure, not to mention Five Great Shinobi Villages. The previous three Shinobi World War were triggered in this way. As long as one family takes action, the remaining families will make self-judgments and take actions that are beneficial to themselves. However, many times it is difficult for the situation to unfold according to their own vision!
This time Iwagakure attacked Sunagakure in the same way.
If Ōnoki is a little more greedy, or Sunagakure is a little stronger, or Rasa is a little smarter, it may directly evolve into the fuse of Fourth Shinobi World War. Once something like war is started, it is difficult to stop!
You must know that Kumogakure saw Iwagakure and Sunagakure fighting, and then he wanted to cause trouble for Konoha, which is how Iwagakure ended up Fast, and Ōnoki is not greedy, just keep the situation stable and controlled here, otherwise Kumogakure will wait until Kumogakure is really fully prepared, and then directly launch a full-scale attack on Konoha.
That's what really means that even if you want to receive it, you won't be able to receive it.
Until then.
I'm afraid Ōnoki really has to consider whether to start a full-scale war. This is not a question of whether he is willing or not, but a question of whether the current situation allows it. Of course, in that case, it may be very beneficial to Iwagakure, or it may lead Iwagakure straight to destruction. These are all uncertain!
But these are just speculations, after all, it did not happen.
Shinobi World also slowly returned to the previous calmer situation because of Four Great Shinobi Villages's self-restraint. Iwagakure and Sunagakure completely ceased fighting. Kumogakure and Konoha only had moderate friction in Land of Hot Springs, which made the small countries Land of Grass, Land of Rivers, and Rain Country breathe a sigh of relief.
In this turmoil, there are only Land of Wind-Sunagakure family victims. Oh, Land of Hot Springs has never calmed down and can only be regarded as a special case!
And these have nothing to do with the current Shōji.
at the moment the agreement is signed.
It was under the arrangement of Kitsuchi that Shōji led a group of Iwagakure Ninja including his own family members on the road back to the village in advance!
Not a long time away.
But after all, we have just experienced a war!
So when I returned to the village.
Iwagakure Ninjas all have a very special feeling.
This is also true for Shōji.
Obviously I have only joined Iwagakure for less than four months, but I have already developed a sense of belonging.
Of course, this is not only because he took the initiative to integrate, but also because Ōnoki is very concerned about it.
That's what humans are like a lot of the time.
When you come to a strange place, whether you can integrate into it depends not only on yourself, but also on the humanistic environment!
I am not withdrawn.
Don't reject others.
It will basically go smoothly.
Of course, in more cases, the former is the most important, because strangers in strange places may not necessarily greet them with smiles, but they will never deliberately reject them.
Because of their special status, they Uchiha Clan not only need to achieve the first point themselves, but also need the cooperation of the second point.
Fortunately, Ōnoki is indeed a wise master!
This allowed them Uchiha Clan to truly begin to integrate into Iwagakure!
