Chapter 413 Returning to the Village
"Well, all the tailed beasts in your ninja world today are split from the Ten-Tails."
Pu Shi explained:
"My goal is to collect the tailed beasts and then condense the Ten Tails."
This was all he could say to Sarutobi Hiruzen. If he said too much, it would affect their conversation.
after all.
It is impossible for Urashiki to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen all of his plans, otherwise, knowing that the entire ninja world would be doomed, who knows what extreme things Sarutobi Hiruzen would do.
As the sunset disappeared, the long-lost starry sky was revealed in the Kirigakure night without the haze.
Many villagers living in Kirigakure may never have seen the starry sky above their heads in their entire lives.
After listening to Urashiki's explanation, Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into deep thought. It was only now that he realized that the nine tailed beasts in the ninja world all originated from the ten-tailed beast.
But just one tailed beast is enough to have the power to bring about natural disasters.
The Ten-Tails is a fusion of the nine tailed beasts.
What a terrifying existence that would be?
Sarutobi Hiruzen could not imagine the terrifying image and strength of the monster, and only felt that the future of the ninja world was very bleak, but in this bleakness, there seemed to be a faint light.
Perhaps, all the answers lie with Uchiha Yinyue!
He was still sitting cross-legged on the warm floor, the wrinkles on his face looking as if they were carved by a knife, deeply reflecting the ruthlessness of time.
at the same time.
Kirigakure Village.
Water Shadow Building.
meeting room.
The Fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura, who was sitting at the chief seat, looked pale.
He looked extremely weak at this time.
Even though he had just received assistance from the medical ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, he still looked dying, as if he was only able to sit here by forcefully holding on.
Karutagi Yagura glanced at the gathered ninja clan leaders and the high-ranking ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village from the Yuanshi faction, and nodded.
He supported himself on the desk with both hands, stood up with difficulty, then tremblingly bent over to face the crowd and said in a deep voice:
"I'm sorry, everyone. I betrayed the trust you placed in me."
The Mist Ninja at the side hurriedly supported their Mizukage who was about to collapse at any time.
"..."The heads of the major ninja clans looked confused and bewildered.
Master Yuan and others also frowned.
Mei Terumi was confused.
Karuju Yagura explained:
"Over the years, the Hidden Mist Village has become like this. It's all my fault. And the reason I became like that is because I was controlled by the Sharingan!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked horrified.
These words were like a torpedo exploding in the water, stirring up layers of waves.
"Controlled by the Sharingan?"
"Sharingan, Konoha Village's unique bloodline limit, damn it, they actually attacked us Kirigakure a long time ago, damn it!!"
A group of Kirigakure's high-ranking officials cursed Konoha.
Master Yuan and others also suddenly came to their senses.
I understood the meaning behind Yagura's bow and apology.
then.
Karatachi Yagura described in detail how his mind was controlled by the Sharingan.
After listening to his description.
Everyone now understood clearly how all these ridiculous things in Kirigakure were accomplished step by step over the years. It turned out that it was all thanks to Konoha!
"Lord Mizukage, my clan is willing to take the lead in attacking Konoha and demand an explanation for Kirigakure!"
"Lord Mizukage, our clan requests to join the battle!"
For a moment, everyone was indignant, as if with just one word from Karuta Yagura, the war against Konoha would begin.
Karatachi Yagura looked gloomy, raised his hand to signal everyone to shut up, then looked at the Master, "The Blood Mist Village will be lifted from today onwards. I no longer have the face to serve as the Mizukage, so I plan to resign the position of Mizukage. I ask the elders to work with the heads of the major families to select an outstanding successor. I am willing to accept any punishment and bear the responsibility for the crimes I have committed over the years."
In fact, when he said that he had been controlled by the Sharingan.
The position of Mizukage has nothing to do with him.
After all, how could a village allow a guy who is controlled by others to take on the role of shadow?
Who knows if he will be manipulated again and make a terrible decision.
The Master nodded tremblingly.
It means that it should be so.
He said in a deep voice: "The issue of the Mizukage position can be put on hold for a while. The most urgent task is to recover the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails. Among those who came to Kirigakure to capture the Jinchūriki and the Tailed Beasts, Sarutobi Hiruzen is one of them!"
Karatachi Yagura nodded in agreement.
"So, I suggest that Mei Terumi lead the team to go to Konoha to ask for an explanation!"
The Master looked at his disciples.
Mei Terumi already had an idea of what was going on, so she didn't show too much surprise.
She stood up slowly and said seriously: "I am willing to accept this task!"
The meeting ended that evening.
Yagura Karatachi resigned from his position as Mizukage and was imprisoned and guarded to observe whether there were any signs of being manipulated in the future. The Hidden Mist Village gathered its strength and Mei Terumi led the expedition to Konoha.
The steel battleships of the Hidden Mist Village, which had not sailed for several years, left the harbor of the ninja village one after another and headed towards the sea area near the border of the Land of Fire.
Enjoy the cool evening breeze.
Battleship deck.
Mei Terumi's hair danced backwards, her mind was filled with thoughts, and she had no idea why the situation in the ninja world had suddenly changed so quickly.
I don’t know what all this means, whether it is good or bad.
But it's predictable.
I'm afraid that a new war will soon break out in the ninja world. Perhaps, this will be another ninja war!
...
...
The stars faded.
Daylight falls.
The next morning, Urashiki stood up from the warm wooden floor, glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen who had not slept all night, and asked with an interested smile:
"Why, you didn't even want to try to attack me when you had such a good opportunity last night?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent.
Isn't this a joke?
He is an old Hokage in his 60s, and he attacks a mysterious guy who can easily capture the tailed beasts. This is just a joke!
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew it very well.
If he had dared to attack this guy last night, he would have turned into a corpse on the spot.
Not to mention things like running away.
The other party will definitely be very interested in playing with you for half an hour, like a cat playing with a mouse, and then execute you.
"You look nervous." Pu Shi smiled and said, "Go ahead, you are free."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you going to Konoha?"
Pu Shi nodded and said, "Of course."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, but still said, "Take me with you!"
"Haha, okay!"
Pu Shi looked meaningfully at the old man whose eyes were red after staying up all night.
He opened the space gate and took Sarutobi Hiruzen on the journey back to Konoha.
...
...
Early morning, Konoha Village.
There are still birds singing and flowers blooming here, and the trees are lush and green. The sun shines on the Shadow Rock, casting large shadows. The villagers get up early and start busy preparing for a new day.
However, since some time ago, the ninja village has been isolated from the outside world.
Of course, for a city as huge as Konoha, this is nothing.
However, the coalition forces of major ninja villages that appeared outside Konoha Village made many villagers feel panic.
The ninja army of Konoha Village has also deployed its defenses on the edge of the village.
It seemed as if war would break out in the Fire Nation at any time. Everything happened too suddenly. But before the war came, ordinary villagers continued to live their lives as usual.
However, the village has lost its usual vitality, and only a few people go out of the household.
A child was squatting in the yard brushing his teeth.
Suddenly I felt some movement above my head.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
When he looked up.
But I saw nothing, only a few fallen leaves in the yard.
Swah——
A tall middle-aged man wearing a red vest, a mesh chain mail underneath, and long white hair instantly headed for the Hokage Building.
He carried a huge bundle of scrolls on his back.
The forehead protector resembles a toad, with the word "oil" engraved in the middle area. This is Jiraiya who immediately returned after receiving news that Sarutobi Hiruzen was kidnapped.
At this time, he looked solemn and scanned the streets of the villagers who looked worse than each other.
"Oh, I don't know what happened. The old man was fine, why was he kidnapped?" Jiraiya looked puzzled.
At first, he received the news and, like Tsunade, simply found it hilarious.
How could it be possible that the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha, the old man known as the strongest Hokage, could be kidnapped?
But then, Jiraiya naturally realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately terminated the journey to find the child of prophecy.
Just as Jiraiya was about to reach the Hokage building, he saw two familiar figures on the street. Without hesitation, he jumped down from the tree and landed steadily in front of the two people.
"Jiraiya?" Tsunade looked up at the familiar figure that suddenly appeared, with a look of surprise on her face.
"Jiraiya-sama!"
Shizune greeted respectfully.
"Long time no see." Jiraiya turned around and looked at the two of them, saying seriously: "Tsunade, Shizune!"
If it were in the past, he would naturally greet his best friend with a smile, but now is definitely not the time to smile.
"You finally came back." Tsunade complained, and then said in a serious tone: "Let's go, Orochimaru is waiting for us."
"Hmm." Jiraiya asked, "Do you have any other information about this matter?"
Tsunade shook her head, "I don't know any more than you do."
"Alas." Jiraiya sighed, "Everything was fine, how could it turn out like this?"
"Yeah, I want to know that too."
Tsunade shrugged.
The three of them quickly came to the Hokage Building, and no one stopped them. Instead, the Konoha ninjas who saw them showed joy on their faces.
The return of the three ninjas is naturally great news for Konoha today.
Hokage's office.
"Lord Orochimaru, Lord Tsunade and Lord Jiraiya have returned."
A Konoha ninja reported respectfully.
"Let them in!"
Orochimaru said calmly.
With that said, the ninja went outside to greet Tsunade and Jiraiya.
After the office door opened.
Tsunade and Jiraiya entered. They looked at Orochimaru who was sitting in the Hokage's seat and suddenly felt mixed emotions.
"Hehe." Orochimaru took a sip of the teacup from the desk, and also looked at his two best friends, smiling and said, "Why, do you feel uncomfortable seeing me sitting in this position?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a ninja behind him brought chairs to Tsunade and Jiraiya.
Tsunade shook her head and sat down.
Jiraiya sighed:
"If Minato hadn't been there, this position would probably have been yours."
In the battle for the Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru had the support of Danzo.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen had not favored Jiraiya's disciples, Orochimaru would not have been eliminated.
Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Even if I'm not here, there are still you and Tsunade, and the end result will be the same."
"Stop talking nonsense." Tsunade said seriously, "Let's talk about the old man!"
Orochimaru nodded, and then told the two of them everything that had happened in Konoha in the past few days.
"What??"
Tsunade was shocked, stood up from her chair, stared at Orochimaru, and said in a deep voice:
"You actually sold the old guy out directly?"
Jiraiya was also shocked at this time.
Who would have thought.
After they arrived at the ninja village, the first thing they knew was that Orochimaru had completely sold out their teacher to other ninja villages.
What a joke! Shouldn’t we try every possible way to rescue the teacher?
Orochimaru said calmly: "Well, if we don't do this, how can we calm the anger of other ninja villages? If I guess correctly, the army of the Hidden Mist Village is also on the way."
Hearing this, Tsunade and Jiraiya fell into deep thought. Orochimaru's worry was not unreasonable.
After the mysterious man captured Sarutobi Hiruzen, he took him to Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure. It makes no sense that he would not go to Kirigakure, which owns the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails.
Therefore, if Konoha does not show the sincerity to calm the anger of the major ninja villages, then Konoha Village will be the one to bear the anger.
"Just hand over the old guy?"
Tsunade said absentmindedly.
"Of course not only that." Orochimaru said helplessly: "I also promised them that when this matter is over, Konoha's Nine-Tails can be used for them to study together, to study how to use the power of the Nine-Tails!"
"You!!" Tsunade's expression froze, staring at Orochimaru in disbelief, "How dare you?"
Jiraiya was dumbfounded.
Is this still the Orochimaru they know?
However, this kind of unconventional thinking does seem to be the way Orochimaru thinks.
"Let me explain." Orochimaru said helplessly.
Tsunade gritted her teeth and said:
"Do you want the five major ninja villages to unite and protect the Nine-Tails in the name of studying its power?"
Orochimaru didn't feel too surprised after hearing Tsunade's answer.
After all, he can sit in the position of Hokage, and Tsunade can sit in it too.
"Yeah." Orochimaru said seriously, "We still don't know the origins of the guy we are going to deal with."
"First of all, we can be sure that he is extremely powerful to be able to kill Danzo and capture the old guy so easily," Jiraiya analyzed.
Orochimaru shook his head.
I can't understand it myself.
Orochimaru said in a deep voice: "It's not just as simple as being terribly strong. According to the information we got from the other three ninja villages, that guy alone has enough strength to destroy a ninja village.
In your impression, how many strong people of this level are there?"
Tsunade and Jiraiya fell into deep thought.
Then they said in unison:
"The first Hokage, and the head of the Uchiha clan!"
In the history of Konoha, the two strongest men at the beginning of the village were able to easily capture the tailed beasts and control them to fight. Their strength was so strong that it exceeded the limits of ninjas.
"I think that guy's strength may be no weaker than the first Hokage and the Uchiha one." Orochimaru analyzed.
