"This... this is impossible, isn't it?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was stunned for a moment, but his reason still allowed him to deny such a possibility.
"Nothing is impossible! Now we are killing two consultants here. Wasn't it impossible before? Haha... You have to believe that what people in the ninja world can do must be beyond your imagination.
." When Orochimaru said these words, his eyes showed extremely rare fear and apprehension.
Judging from his experience in the ninja world, he must have experienced something personally.
"Then...you mean they will take the opportunity to cause chaos?" Sarutobi still couldn't imagine such a scene, so he threw the question back to Orochimaru.
"No... they are not like Shimura Danzo. They do not have the strength to protect themselves, nor do they have the connections that others have. All they can do is hang themselves on a tree! When Konoha is lonely... they will leave
To clear up the relationship and settle down in a corner. As Konoha develops, they will come here to get close to each other with their old feelings... and then slowly rise to the top! Sarutobi-sensei, is this true?" Orochimaru's voice was high and low, hoarse.
It lingers in my ears and won't go away for a long time.
"You... don't slander the elders of Konoha." Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't say anything else. He just retorted bluntly, hoping to leave the last trace of face to his former comrades.
"Sarutobi-sensei, is this slander? You know this better than me..."
"Ah!" A scream came from the door of the lounge. Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but want to see it with his own eyes, but Orochimaru entangled him with a lot of small snakes and couldn't move at all.
"Sarutobi-sensei, you'd better wait here. I believe that the First Hokage and the Second Hokage will give you a satisfactory answer..."
"Orochimaru... do you just dislike me so much?" Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned against the wall in a somewhat dejected manner, looking sideways at Orochimaru's evil smile, and his old face suddenly fell.
The spirit of forbearance and heroism is gone.
"Sarutobi-sensei, it's not you that I dislike... Haha, you still don't realize it?" Orochimaru looked over to make sure that the situation was not out of control, then turned back and asked.
"Realizing...what?"
"Forget it, Sarutobi-sensei. It won't take long for you to see it... What I hate is that kind of spirit. The will of fire that the teacher admires has not been passed on to them." Orochimaru sighed.
He took a breath, and what he showed in his brows was the maturity and stability that he had when he was in Konoha and had to worry about the Hokage.
"Orochimaru... have you changed?" Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth for a moment, but closed it again without making any sound...
There are some questions that there is no need to ask out loud.
"Just hand over the power, you two live in seclusion, and we will give you the necessary assistance." Minato stretched out his hand, preparing to grab the two advisors, but these two old fools did not intend to obey.
"We will not hand over our power! This is what we deserve. We live and die for the village, and we are dedicated to Konoha. Now are we no longer qualified to assist the Hokage?" Koharu was still thinking about Sarutobi Hiruzen.
era, it's a pity that the current Hokage is Namikaze Minato standing in front of him.
"Sorry, two seniors. As the current Hokage, I don't need the position of advisor. I have the Hokage Shadow Assistant Nara Shikaku, and I think he is enough." Minato explained with a smile, but there was a sharp edge in his words.
.
The implication: "You are of no use to me anymore, get out now..."
"We are not your advisers, we were recruited by the Third Hokage as a special case! You are not qualified to remove us from our positions." Mito Kaden calmly looked for favorable conditions, and made a casual statement in a panic.
"Is this a special case for the Third Generation? I, the Second Hokage, do not have any established positions. It seems that you are just vacant positions. Can you dismiss it? I have not yet held Sarutobi accountable for his own actions..." Tobirama spoke, and in an instant, the entire
The whole space was covered with thick murderous aura.
"Tobirama...control yourself!" Hashirama remained silent. Seeing that the walls of the Hokage Building were showing signs of collapse, he couldn't help but take action.
"Are you two...really the first and second generation Hokage?" Koharu seized this opportunity and changed the subject, and the target of the attack suddenly changed.
She believed that two people with unknown origins would also be questioned by the Fourth Hokage...
"Reincarnation in the dirt, it's true." Minato leaned on the Second Hokage's shoulder very proudly, not minding the coldness radiating from his whole body, and playing with the special Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand.
"You...rely on your old age and betray your old age..."
"Isn't this what you are doing now? You actually have the nerve to say such things...Young Fourth Hokage, please allow me to kill these two people directly." Tobirama's patience was slowly worn away.
If he was talking to Hashirama, he wouldn't waste so much time. Direct pressure would be enough.
For the sake of Hashirama and Sarutobi, he gave these two people enough face.
"Second Hokage-sama...please do it." Minato quietly stepped aside and put down the hand stretched out in front of the two of them. However, his eyes swept to the end of the corridor on the other side, staring at the three looming figures in the darkness.
"Who...is there?"
…
In the dark corner at the end of the corridor, three sound ninjas pretending to be Sunagakure were hiding here, secretly protecting Orochimaru.
Although their strength is nothing in the eyes of these ninjas, their loyalty is always true, and they always want to do something to make up for the mistake of not catching the signal just now.
…
"It's almost done here?" Deidara looked unhappy, followed by a group of clay spiders, jumping up and down on the trees, following Chitu's instructions to find a suitable blasting point, but every place he wanted to place it
They were all dismissed for being too conspicuous.
This time, he pointed to a tree hole, and the clay spider had already begun to burrow into it.
This tree hole is located in a low-lying area and was submerged due to the heavy rain just now. Even if such a place explodes, it will not cause much repercussions, and it is located in a remote location, so it should not cause them any trouble.
"Okay, you can place it here." Chitu looked around and found no hidden dangers before finally nodding.
"Huh, senior brother, have you finally found a place to display your... art?" Kurotsuchi asked in a low voice, while she hid behind Akatsuki. She did like Deidara's art, but it was just too scary. She had always been in Akatsuchi.
Viewed from behind.
"Huh? Yes! My art... can finally be shown in Konoha!" Deidara took out another handful of clay. This time he did not use his mouth, but just chewed it with his hands. The two little birds gradually
After taking shape, they emerged from the two strange mouths, each carrying two piles of small spiders, passed through the submerged tree hole, flew unsteadily to the depths of the tree hole, turned over and threw the little spiders aside.
on the wall.
"But... um? What is in here?" The chakra reaction that does not belong to his clay flashes in the tree hole, giving people a feeling... that is extremely dangerous.
…
This tree hole is the tree hole where Yakumo is hiding.
She is still leaning against the wall of the tree hole, hiding in a groove, holding her drawing board tightly with both hands.
"Yu Ling~ Why don't you come? There are ninjas from other villages here. Are you going to watch me being bullied? Ugh...Senior, you are as cold-blooded as Yu Ling. I thought
...Why am I in the same team as you two bastards? Or is my Ido reliable...Ido, Ido?" Kurama Yakumo's eyes suddenly widened, and illusion energy was rushing around in his body.
, the nerves suddenly became tense.
"Where is Idu...?"
The black substance that should have been there in the Dantian just disappeared...
"Could it be that Yu Ling was abducted by Idu? Oh, don't scare me. Nothing can happen to you, Yu Ling... Idu, please give Yu Ling back to me! Idu!" He ignored the exit of the tree hole.
The ninjas of the village were shouting inside, and their brushes were drawing on the drawing board without any rules.
…
"Kurama Yakumo...where are you? Yu Ling, where have you gone...Humans, there is no good thing...you all deserve to die! I will kill you..." Idu was still at the entrance of the Death Forest
Wandering around, seeing no familiar figures around, I decided to slowly walk into the forest of death.
only……
"Where are you? There is no way to tell the direction in the forest... Come out quickly, where are you?"
The entire forest seemed to have become a family-seeking meeting for Konoha ninjas...
…
"Young man, do you have any news?" Maruhoshi Kosuke followed the thunder clone to Yu Ling's side, raised his head under the tree where the main body was, and asked. Even if there is no hope, asking him again can reassure himself a little.
a little.
"Not yet, but I have locked an area. Kurama Yakumo's chakra has not been found anywhere else, but that area is blocked and I have no way to remotely detect it." Yu Ling jumped down from the top of the tree and pointed.
Said in one direction.
"Over there? It happens to be in the opposite direction to me. Let's go and have a look..." Maruhoshi Kosuke took off his straw hat and touched a handful of his pale hair, sweat stains slowly sliding down his face.
"Yes, senior."
…
"I saw... Yakumo's chakra." Idu was stunned for a moment, his empty eyes staring at a tree hole not far away.
Coincidentally, the entrance that Idu entered into the forest was opposite Yu Ling, and it was also the entrance closest to Yakumo's tree hole.
"I'm back... Yakumo, I'm here to help you solve the problem..." Idu roared in a low voice, his dry voice stuck in his throat, and only a very small amount of breath seeped out from between his fangs.
"There is someone by Yakumo's side... No, no! I will never allow anyone to hurt Yakumo's bastard... Humans deserve to die! If Yakumo is hurt, phew..." Ido took a deep breath.
, the body fell and floated close to the tree hole.
A distance of several hundred meters was covered in just a few seconds.
"Yakumo... I'm here to find you. Just stay well and let me deal with these people..."
