Having received Hiruzen Sarutobi's reply, Yagura left Konoha with a joyful expression.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also pondering what to do about the Five Kage Summit in a few days.
" Lord Hokage, I saw someone at the entrance who resembles Lord Orochimaru. I couldn't confirm it, so I came to report to you!"
Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi deep in thought, a Anbu suddenly pushed open the door and entered to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"What??!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi on the table and stood up, his eyes gleaming with excitement!
He had witnessed what the Uchiha Clan had been doing recently, but there was nothing he could do about it.
If the Uchiha Clan wanted to win over its own people, Hiruzen Sarutobi could have found an opportunity to suppress them.
However, they were doing this for Tsunade's sake, so if Hiruzen Sarutobi were to suppress the Uchiha Clan, it would be tantamount to completely turning against Tsunade.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to, and dared not, do that.
There are countless Senju Clan commoners in Konoha, and many Senju Clan are also among the ninjas.
They simply removed their surnames.
However, if Hiruzen Sarutobi dares to target the Senju Clan's little princess, then these people will show Hiruzen Sarutobi what it means to be the most powerful clan in the Sengoku period.
He couldn't suppress her, and when he tried to talk to Tsunade, she completely ignored him.
Enraged, Hiruzen Sarutobi vented his anger on Shimura Danzō, who had caused the trouble.
Shimura Danzō's Root had all its funding cut, and its Root were also given up.
What Yagura just heard was Shimura Danzō arguing with Hiruzen Sarutobi about this matter.
Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not without a way to break the deadlock.
The solution is to support Hatake Sakumo.
If Hatake Sakumo becomes a candidate for Hokage, no one will object, not even Tsunade herself.
However, since Hatake Sakumo and Hiruzen Sarutobi have no relation, Hiruzen Sarutobi has been considering whether or not to make Hatake Sakumo a candidate for Hokage.
This matter caused Hiruzen Sarutobi a great deal of worry.
If Hatake Sakumo really becomes Hokage, given his relationship with Hatake Sakumo, it would be difficult for him to maintain this power.
Now that Orochimaru is back, everything is much easier.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't doubt whether it was Orochimaru; the Anbu must have confirmed it multiple times before daring to report to him.
The chances of it being Orochimaru are practically 100%, it's just that the Anbu wouldn't dare say it so definitively.
Hiruzen Sarutobi from the Hokage's desk and sprinted towards the Konoha Gate!
Konoha Gate
"When did the Uchiha Clan start guarding the gate?"
Orochimaru looked at the group of the Uchiha Clan members with some confusion.
He hasn't been gone for decades, has he?
" Lord Orochimaru?"
The gatekeeper of Konoha recognized Orochimaru and exclaimed in surprise.
" Lord Orochimaru is dead, this must be an intruder!"
Another Konoha gatekeeper immediately spoke up.
He did visit Orochimaru; Orochimaru's tombstone was quite exquisite.
"Go and inform the Third Hokage. I'll stay here."
Orochimaru shrugged to indicate that he meant no harm.
The Konoha gatekeeper glanced cautiously at Orochimaru, then walked directly to the back.
A group of Anbu then inspected Orochimaru and notified Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The master and disciple finally met again.
Orochimaru, you're not dead. Do you know how heartbroken I was when I heard the news of your death?
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately launched into a dramatic performance, tears streaming down his face.
The Anbu and gatekeepers nearby were all moved by this touching bond between master and disciple.
Only the Uchiha Clan watched coldly, and a few even couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After all, the Uchiha Clan Hiruzen Sarutobi too well; this was simply Hiruzen Sarutobi seeing a way to break the deadlock.
He might be happy that Orochimaru didn't die, but he was probably more happy about his own rights.
"Hehe..."
Orochimaru smiled faintly.
He knew very well what kind of person Hiruzen Sarutobi, so he didn't take the other person's tears to heart.
Moreover, he was absolutely certain that Hiruzen Sarutobi's attentiveness to him meant that he needed something from him.
Just as the master and apprentice were recognizing each other, Yagura had already notified the last village.
With all four Kage preparing to go, whether or not the Kazekage went was no longer up to him.
Four of the Five Kage Summit went, but I didn't. Was I planning to let them discuss how to deal with me?
The Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages all agreed to the Five Kage Summit.
The Five Kage Summit, which hasn't been held since the First, is about to begin again, which has excited many people.
Iwagakure
" Didaze, the Mizukage is about to start the Five Kage Summit, what should we do?"
Ōnoki actually had his own ideas, but he still planned to ask Didaze.
After all, Didaze was the Tsuchikage he had chosen, and there were some things Didaze had to decide.
"Old man, what do you think of the Sharingan? Is it any good?"
Didaze didn't reply to Ōnoki; instead, he asked Ōnoki a question in return.
" The Sharingan?"
"This thing consumes too much Uchiha people. Only those with an extremely large amount of Chakra can use it, but if the Chakra is large enough, the Sharingan seems to be useless."
Ōnoki shared his opinion.
"Old man, what do you think about us giving the Sharingan to the Third Hokage?"
Didaze smiled.
This was the explanation he had prepared long ago.
He didn't believe the Third Hokage didn't want the Sharingan; Third Hokage just wanted to save face and was too embarrassed to act so directly.
But what if it came from a rival village? Would he refuse it?
Didaze probably wouldn't.
Share your thoughts!
Ōnoki's eyes flashed with a sharp light; he already somewhat understood Didaze's meaning, but he still needed to confirm it.
"First, we can give all these Sharingan to the Third Hokage in exchange for him speaking on our behalf at the Five Kage Summit. We don't need him to take sides, as long as he doesn't target us."
"After the Third Hokage obtains the Sharingan, the Uchiha Clan will definitely be unhappy. However, the Third Hokage cannot give these spoils of war obtained from an enemy village to the Uchiha Clan. Therefore, the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the Third Hokage will only deepen."
"We can also use these Sharingan, which are of little use to us, to make the Third Hokage speak for us, thus leaving behind the Six-Tails, and also causing chaos within Konoha."
After Didaze finished speaking, he looked at Ōnoki.
"Good, well said!"
Ōnoki nodded in satisfaction.
Didaze's performance greatly pleased him; the guy's political acumen was no less than his own, and Iwagakure wouldn't decline even after he died.
"We have three days left. Send a team of Anbu to find the Third Hokage, and bring all the Sharingan with them."
Ōnoki wasn't worried about his Sharingan being stolen; the Anbu were all Jonin- level, how could a small ninja village possibly have the strength to take it?
