"Don't be fooled by him!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted sharply, " The Impure World Reincarnation is a forbidden technique that desecrates the dead, it must not be..."
" Hokage!" Ōnoki suddenly interrupted, "This matter... might be worth considering."
Seeing that someone was interested, Orochimaru pressed his advantage, saying, "Think about it, with the power of these dead, we can establish a much stronger and more stable order in the Shinobi World."
" The Sunagakure's prosthetic technology, the Kumogakure's Chakra Cannon, the Konoha's forbidden techniques, the Iwagakure's Dust Release... plus the Sound Ninja's Impure World Reincarnation, what enemy can we not defeat?"
"The future of the Shinobi World will be decided by us."
The atmosphere suddenly froze in the rain.
The Third Hokage's angry shout echoed in the rain, but it couldn't mask the gradually changing atmosphere at the scene.
Ōnoki leaned forward slightly, as if trying to get closer to the figure who had once taught him, but was blocked by some invisible force.
Raikage A's gaze was fixed on the Third Raikage, his Adam's apple bobbing as if a thousand words were stuck in his throat.
A strange light flashed in Pain's eyes, as if he were assessing the strategic value of this technology.
Orochimaru observed the reactions of the crowd with satisfaction, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He gracefully raised his hand, Impure World Reincarnation beings took a step back in unison, their movements as precise as marionettes.
The rain intensified, and water droplets dripped down everyone's Forehead Protector.
The aging Hokage looked around, observing the wavering expressions of the other Kage Level shinobi, a deep worry flashing in his eyes.
He clenched his fist, then helplessly released it, realizing that the situation was out of his control.
"An interesting proposal."
Hoshino turned to look at everyone and smiled, "I think the Otogakure is qualified to join the Council. What do you think, as a subordinate village?"
Raikage A remained silent for a moment, then finally said in a deep voice, " Kumogakure... agrees."
Ōnoki said, " Iwagakure has no objections."
Pain calmly stated, " The Akatsuki recognizes the qualifications of the Otogakure."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned ashen instantly, his lips trembled, but he could no longer utter a word of objection.
Looking around, he noticed that even Kakashi seemed to be wavering, while Jiraiya had been glaring at Orochimaru with intense resentment the whole time.
Thank you all for your recognition.
Orochimaru's smile widened, his eyes gleaming with victory, and he cupped his hands in greeting.
With all parties reaching a consensus, everyone returned to the meeting hall.
Rain dripped from the eaves, tapping out a dull rhythm on the windowsill, as if foreshadowing an even fiercer confrontation about to unfold.
After several hours of intense discussion, a final decision was finally reached in the meeting room.
The " Impure World Reincarnation Usage Convention " was formally established through the joint signature of the Four Great Shinobi Villages.
The first rule clearly stipulates that all those Impure World Reincarnation must reside permanently within the territory of the Land of Rice Fields, and are strictly prohibited from crossing the border without authorization.
Article Two imposes strict restrictions on the Pure Land Return Plan.
Each time a deceased person is awakened, resources equivalent to five S-level mission rewards are required, and an application must be submitted to the Joint Oversight Committee one month in advance.
The application must specify the purpose, duration, and specific use of the wake-up call.
Article 3 emphasizes the protection of the rights of the deceased.
Any form of coercion or manipulation is strictly prohibited. The deceased must retain their complete personality and autonomy. Any action against the wishes of the deceased will be considered a serious breach of contract.
Excluding the Impure World Reincarnation protecting the Otogakure, but their number cannot exceed five hundred.
As the rain subsided and the dark clouds dispersed, a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the window frame of the conference room.
With the signing of the " Impure World Reincarnation Usage Convention," this unprecedented Four Kage Summit Kage's faction) finally came to a close.
Before we part, I have a gift for you all.
Orochimaru stood at the entrance of the conference hall, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. His hands Hand Seals that spread across the ground in a complex jutsu.
The Reanimated Body of the Second Tsuchikage Mu, the Third Raikage, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, and the Third Kazekage suddenly trembled violently, and the puppet-like emptiness in their eyes was gradually replaced by clarity.
"You..." Hiruzen Sarutobi almost lost his voice, clearly startled by the other party's actions.
"Teacher, accept reality. Next time you want to awaken the Second Hokage, it won't be so easy," Orochimaru said with a hint of sincerity.
At this moment, the figures were still reeling from the shock of the dead's resurrection, unaware of the hidden secrets behind this gift.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi truly awakens to the truth and wants to apply to awaken Tobirama Senju again, he will inevitably face united resistance from the other ninja villages.
Because Tobirama Senju's talent was truly astonishing.
The Flying Thunder God Technique rewrites the rules of war, the Shadow Clone Technique overturns tactical systems, and the Impure World Reincarnation even touches upon the taboo of life and death.
The reappearance of such a character in the world is enough to tilt the entire ninja world. Other ninja villages will definitely not sit back and watch Konoha regain such a strategic advantage.
This seemingly casual gift was actually Orochimaru's final act of kindness towards Konoha.
In its own unique way, it secured a precious opportunity for its former hometown to engage in dialogue with its ancestors.
At this moment, the confusion in the eyes of the Reanimated Body gradually dissipated.
The Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, was the first to fully regain consciousness. His sharp gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Monkeys? What era are we living in? And what's going on around here?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's apple bobbed as he gazed into those familiar, sharp eyes. In that moment, decades seemed to have vanished.
"Teacher... this isn't the place to talk!"
Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju frowned, his gaze sweeping over the unfamiliar faces and decorations in the conference hall, before nodding.
"It seems things are a bit complicated. Take me to see Konoha now!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's back slumped involuntarily. This once- Shinobi World Ninjutsu expert now looked like a student who had made a mistake in front of his teacher.
at the same time.
The Third Raikage's Chakra suddenly surged, and his Lightning Release Armor erupted with blinding lightning.
The Fourth Raikage A, clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and the tense atmosphere between father and son made the entire conference hall heavy.
"Ai, I hope you haven't let me down!"
"No, the Kumogakure is stronger than ever before, you'll be very happy!"
On the other side.
Ōnoki hovered in the air, Second Tsuchikage Mu, scrutinized his former disciple with a critical gaze.
" Ōnoki, you're so old. Is there no one to carry on the legacy of Iwagakure?"
"Teacher, the situation is a bit complicated. I'll tell you when I get back!"
Meanwhile, Hoshino's prosthetic eye was constantly adjusting its focus, keeping a close eye on the strongest Kazekage.
"It seems Sunagakure has changed a lot; I need an explanation."
"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything that happened in Sunagakure, but I hope you'll behave yourself during this time."
Orochimaru stood at the door, gave another elegant bow, and said, "I'll be leaving now. This batch of Impure World Reincarnation Tensei can be maintained for a month! The Otogakure welcomes you all to visit anytime you need."
