"While what you say makes a lot of sense, Orochimaru, what wicked scheme are you plotting now? I'm warning you, the foundation of Konoha must not be shaken."
Tsunade warned Orochimaru firmly, knowing that as a former top candidate for Hokage and the commander-in-chief of Konoha Third Shinobi World War, Orochimaru had many loyal supporters in Konoha and was a considerable force.
However, in this way, Konoha would inevitably split into two forces, old and new, just like Kirigakure. Unless the old forces are eradicated like Mei Terumi, the village's strength will inevitably be wasted on meaningless internal strife.
However, the specific situations in Konoha and Kirigakure are different, and Tsunade's personality also dictates that such a bloody plan would not appear in her mind.
"Don't worry, Konoha's cohesion will definitely not weaken; it might even become stronger, cough cough..."
Orochimaru gave a morbidly sinister laugh, then suddenly began coughing up blood, as if he were about to die...
" Lord Orochimaru!" Kabuto Yakushi quickly leaned down to check Orochimaru's condition, then took out a sealing scroll, summoned a complete set of medical instruments, selected a syringe from the middle, and skillfully injected it into Orochimaru's vein.
After doing all this, Kabuto Yakushi helped the weakened Orochimaru lie down and said to the three onlookers:
" Lady Tsunade, Lord Naoki, please step aside. Lord Orochimaru's Living Corpse Reincarnation has an adaptation period after use, during which the user will fall into an unconscious coma and experience other symptoms."
Tsunade, who was about to check on Orochimaru's condition, stopped in her tracks. If it was a side effect of a forbidden technique, she really didn't have a good solution, especially since it was an evil forbidden technique like the Living Corpse Reincarnation encountered before.
However, before leaving, Tsunade still left a message: "If Orochimaru's condition gets out of control, remember to let me know."
Although he was destined not to need it, Kabuto Yakushi still bowed deeply in gratitude, demonstrating the weight of the Shinobi World's number one medical-nin.
After everyone had left, the 'weak' Orochimaru sat up in bed and, full of energy, gave the following instructions:
"Reply to Danzo, saying that I agree to his plan, but the timing needs to be brought forward, and he must bear all the losses to the Land of Rice Fields base. In addition, I will demand a compensation fee of 50 million."
Kabuto Yakushi the pen. The losses to the Land of Land of Rice Fields base, plus this compensation, totaled an estimated 90 million yen. Lord Orochimaru really dared to ask for so much... But...
Behind his non-prescription glasses, Kabuto Yakushi's eyes shone with fanaticism; only Lord Orochimaru like this was worthy of his utmost devotion.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
A short, encrypted letter was quickly written. Kabuto Yakushi took the letter and left the Medical Ninjutsu laboratory. He summoned the hawk that delivered the letter from the hidden back mountain, but when he returned to the laboratory, Kabuto Yakushi found that the door was closed.
After hesitating for a moment, Kabuto Yakushi couldn't suppress his curiosity and put his ear close to the crack in the door.
Orochimaru, you should still be in contact with Danzo, right?
It was Naoki Senju's voice, but how could he know about the connection between Lord Orochimaru and Danzo...? Kabuto Yakushi pressed his ear completely to the crack, afraid of missing any detail.
"There is indeed a connection. What, Naoki-kun concerned about this?"
What he said seemed normal, but Orochimaru, didn't you realize that speaking in the body of a cute girl like that could easily lead to misunderstandings...? Naoki Senju's expression grew increasingly cold and menacing, his killing intent was palpable, and with the Three-Tails he had just subdued, Naoki Senju's Chakra was becoming increasingly unfathomable, even overwhelming Orochimaru in terms of aura!
"It's nothing, it's just that you'll be losing a collaborator from now on. Also, on behalf of Sister Tsunade, may I take a look at the secret cooperation you Danzo with that old dog Danzo?"
The atmosphere in the room instantly plummeted to freezing point, a chilling aura filling every corner. Even Kabuto Yakushi, standing outside the room, had to close his eyes and take a few steps back to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
But the next moment, this omnipresent, chilling killing intent vanished completely, Orochimaru smiled wickedly, saying:
"Kabuto, come in."
Although he was caught eavesdropping, Kabuto Yakushi calmly pushed open the door without showing any obvious panic, because he was quite familiar with Orochimaru's habits, and Orochimaru usually wouldn't pursue such a small matter.
" Lord Orochimaru, Lord Naoki."
"Yes, retrieve Danzo's secret letter."
"Yes."
Kabuto Yakushi took out a pile of letters from the sealed scroll, which made Naoki Senju's eyelids twitch. If one of the parties in these letters was Danzo, then Orochimaru and Danzo's cooperation might be deeper than he imagined.
Kabuto Yakushi sifted through a pile of letters, finally selecting the one with the most recent date, and turned to hand it to Orochimaru with both hands.
Since the boss didn't specify that the letter should be given to Naoki Senju, he didn't need to overstep his bounds. This was the proper duty of someone working under Orochimaru—a valuable lesson learned from Kabuto Yakushi Orochimaru after years of working for him.
Orochimaru took the letter and threw it to Naoki using the technique of throwing Shuriken.
" Naoki-kun, to know my plan with Danzo is actually very simple, just agree to one condition."
Naoki Senju didn't rush to open the letter, but instead asked, "What are your conditions? Don't expect me to agree to anything too unreasonable."
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for Naoki-kun. As an extra reward, the protagonist of this plan could even be Naoki-kun. At that time, even if the First Hokage were to be resurrected, his prestige might not be comparable to Naoki-kun's."
That's just something you can fool a child... Naoki Senju already had some idea of Orochimaru's plan and timing, and all he wanted was to verify it, so he responded very firmly:
"Tell me, is there anything you Lord Cold-Blooded, can't do?"
Orochimaru smiled with satisfaction. This time, he had only revealed a plan that had to be carried out no matter what, and it would be great if he could gain some benefits in return.
"I gained quite a bit from Kirigakure this time, so I plan to establish my own ninja village, tentatively named Sound Ninja Village. My conditions are that Konoha cannot launch an attack on Sound Ninja Village, and we must also establish an alliance agreement. What do you say?"
This condition may not seem excessive at first glance, but considering the plan that Orochimaru and Danzo are about to carry out, it becomes incredibly difficult.
Naoki Senju opened the envelope and glanced at it briefly. The contents of the letter had been translated from encrypted text into normal text by Kabuto Yakushi, and the signature on the letter was indeed Danzo.
Although Danzo was somewhat evasive in his words, he managed to get through some key words, such as: the Third Hokage, the Hokage Position, Sunagakure, One-Tail, and the detailed plans to be discussed later.
Although it is still in its infancy and there is no complete plan yet, there is only one answer: the Konoha Crush Plan, which will be launched by Orochimaru himself a few years later and will shock the Shinobi World!
