Tsunade asked in shock, "What? The Third Hokage is dead? When did this happen?"
Uchiha Yanwu's expression turned grave as she slowly said, "Just today. The Third Hokage was killed by Orochimaru and the resurrected First and Second Hokage working together!"
Tsunade's heart jolted as she asked in disbelief, "Even my grandfather was resurrected? They actually brought them back?"
Uchiha Yanwu shook her head, her tone helpless. "That was merely a forbidden technique Orochimaru used. Worse still, Sunagakure took the opportunity to attack Konoha. Konoha's strength has now fallen to rock bottom, and the village is in grave danger."
At this moment, Uchiha Feng seemed distracted and showed no interest in any of it.
Having read the original story, he knew the truth. This was precisely the plan Orochimaru had been determined to carry out for a long time, and it had finally come to fruition.
Konoha had long been mired in decay. If the Third Hokage had been allowed to continue ruling, the consequences would have been unimaginable. On the surface, Orochimaru's killing of the Third Hokage seemed cold and merciless, but he had deeper considerations in mind. He wanted to give the Third Hokage a dignified ending.
Among the Three Sannin, whether it was Orochimaru, Jiraiya, or Tsunade, all of them held a deep attachment to Konoha.
It was only that the paths they chose were entirely different. Orochimaru's approach was especially extreme, as though a sharp blade had cut apart the ideals of the past and reality.
Jiraiya, meanwhile, preferred to influence those around him in gentler ways and do whatever he could.
Tsunade's feelings were complicated. Although Uchiha Feng's influence had caused her life to diverge greatly from the original story, over the course of these years, she had gradually come to understand certain profound truths.
