"What if Konoha attacks first? Given Lady Tsunade's attitude back then, it's not impossible." Kuroi couldn't even imagine the Kumogakure facing Lady Tsunade on the battlefield.
"Impossible. Judging from the intelligence you brought back, Konoha has just experienced the deaths of the Third Hokage and the massacre of the Sarutobi clan. Lady Tsunade has just taken over Hokage Position, and there are many things waiting for her to handle. This war simply cannot break out. If it really comes to that, given the strength that Lady Tsunade has shown, the Land of Earth Land of Wind will not sit idly by." Mabui calmly analyzed the current situation.
"That's right. The Ninja World cannot afford to have another god of Ninja World who reigns supreme over all living beings. If Lady Tsunade doesn't make a move, fine, but if she reveals the strength of God of Shinobi, the other nations will definitely not stand idly by. Soroi, have someone pass this message on to the Kage of the other nations." Thinking this way, turning his own trouble into everyone else's trouble, the Fourth Raikage's pressure instantly lessened considerably.
"This... Fourth Hokage, will the other countries believe this? They'll probably think we're deliberately trying to stir up trouble for Konoha."
"What are they talking about? I don't care if they believe it or not. Even a little suspicion is enough." As long as they suspect, they will gather information on this matter, and then they will naturally join forces with Kumogakure to fight against the evil Konoha.
"Yes, Fourth Generation Lord."
The Land of Snow, Hidden Snow Village, the Anbu Base~
"Tsk tsk, Gen has really built a huge empire in the Land of Snow." Orochimaru's tongue lolled as he looked at the abundant experimental equipment around him.
"From now on, you'll be in charge of managing this place. If you need anything, just have Mika notify me. Mika, your task from now on is to assist Lord Orochimaru's experiments, understand?" This is the legendary Sannin? Not so great. Such weak Chakra, not worth my attention at all. I really don't know what Gen saw in him.
"Understood, Lord Xia." This guy named Orochimaru doesn't look like a good person at all. How did I end up getting this kind of assignment...?
Natsu Hyuga, who possesses the Tenseigan, sized up Orochimaru, whom she had never dared to look directly at before, and secretly compared herself to him.
"This guy has such strength, yet I've never heard of such a person in the Ninja World. Judging by his age, could he be a powerful figure secretly trained by Gen?" Orochimaru was sizing up Orochimaru when Natsu Hyuga was also sizing her up. It was a pity that the appearance of her Tenseigan had completely deviated from the Byakugan's image, otherwise Orochimaru would have immediately made the connection to the Hyuga Clan.
" Mika, is that right? I look forward to working with you from now on." This little girl is the same age as Anko, but their personalities are completely different.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru." Looking into Orochimaru's eyes, Kaguya Mika was so frightened that her hair stood on end.
"You idiot, how can you stand firm in Hidden Snow Village with such a small amount of courage? Don't learn everything from your leader. It's true that like father, like son. Yukina is a real rotten apple." It seems I have to talk to Lord Gen and have the second leader, Sana, transferred back. Otherwise, the entire Kaguya Corps will be led astray by Yukina.
"Lord Xia, please don't say that. Captain Yukina is a good person and treats everyone very well." Ever since the Second Captain went to Konoha, the Kaguya Corps's life couldn't be more comfortable, and that's all thanks to Captain Yukina.
"Hmm? This Chakra? Orochimaru, you familiarize yourself with the surroundings first. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now." Before the two could react, Natsu Hyuga's figure had already disappeared.
"Hiss~ This speed is no less than that of Gen, right? I really don't know how Gen cultivated such a strong person. Judging from this situation, could something have happened in Hidden Snow Village?" Orochimaru pondered for a while as he watched the departing girl and followed her.
Kaguya Mika was left alone on the foundation, at a loss.
Outside Hidden Snow Village ~
"Is this the place? The ninja village founded by Uchiha Gen? How ignorant and naive. What kind of powerful village can be built in a place like the Land of Snow? They should spend more time and energy cultivating the Uchiha Clan members." Pain looked at the Hidden Snow Village ahead, his eyes full of disdain.
"That's not how it works. There's a saying, 'Better to be a big fish in a small pond than a Obito fish in Land of Snow.' As the daimyo of the Hidden Snow Village, it's understandable that he would want to establish a village. According to the intelligence from White Zetsu, Orochimaru is in Hidden Snow Village." Obito, who was being controlled by Black Zetsu beside Pain, looked at Amegakure. It seems that Uchiha Gen really went all out.
"Heh, this is brilliant. The culprit who wiped out the Sarutobi Clan has actually come to the Land of Snow? It seems that the death of the Third Hokage and the extermination of the Sarutobi Clan were all orchestrated by Uchiha Gen behind the scenes." Dirty political tactics. I never expected that someone as powerful as Uchiha Gen would have such a short-sighted vision. He would harm his own village and comrades for power. This person is not worth worrying about.
" Pain, Uchiha Gen and Orochimaru must have reached some kind of agreement in secret. Are you sure this attempt to invite Orochimaru will succeed?" Orochimaru, a powerful figure renowned throughout the Ninja World, shouldn't be so easily persuaded, right?
"Hmph, in the face of absolute power, all consensus is meaningless. Orochimaru refuses the invitation of the gods, so he must face the wrath of the gods." Sannin, one of the Orochimaru, the one who wanted to kill me back then, will now show you what it means for fortunes to change.
"What are you two doing sneaking around here?" Pain's Chakra was like a beacon in the darkness in front of Natsu Hyuga's Tenseigan. The entire Hidden Snow Village was full of trash, and suddenly such a strong Chakra reaction appeared. It was hard for Natsu Hyuga not to notice.
"Hmm? We've been discovered? This girl's Chakra is incredibly strong, she's no ordinary person. Pain, be careful, there's no information about her in the White Zetsu's reports." Black Zetsu Obito stared at Natsu Hyuga in shock. This girl's Chakra level had already reached the initial stage of the Six Paths?
How could someone so quietly emerge in the Ninja World, stronger than Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha back in the day? Who exactly is she?
"Who are you? With such strength, how come there's no record of you in the Ninja World? How about joining the Akatsuki? Let's work together for world peace?" Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise. If he could recruit this girl into the Akatsuki, Orochimaru and the like would be dispensable.
"I've never even heard of Akatsuki. I'm the current leader of Hidden Snow Village. There's no way I'd join any random organization. Tell me honestly why you're here, or don't blame me for being impolite." These two guys were acting all mysterious; they didn't look like good people at all.
