Chapter 309 The End
Xuanwu actually didn't tell the truth. He kept Mikoto and Fugaku because he liked Itachi very much. They were saved by their own son.
In addition to these three people, there were two people who were not killed by Xuanwu. One was an eight-year-old student named Uchiha Obito, and the other was a child less than four years old named Uchiha Shisui.
It’s not that Xuanwu wanted to stay, but he couldn’t find them. It was as if they disappeared out of thin air. Xuanwu couldn’t find them even when he used his observation Haki to the maximum.
Wrapped in the terrifying blue light, Uchiha Fugaku's calves couldn't stop trembling. He had just seen with his own eyes how powerful this thing was!
Now his life and death were in the hands of others. Thinking of Mikoto and his two-year-old child, the usually arrogant man could no longer care about so many things.
"Plop",
Uchiha Fugaku knelt on his knees and explained sincerely: "Master Xuanwu, I swear to heaven, I came here tonight to persuade Uchiha Setsuna to let you go. We have the same blood, so there is no need to kill each other. It's just that I didn't expect that it was them instead of you who lost, so I panicked for a moment and didn't have time to apologize to you. Please forgive me."
Xuanwu said frivolously, "Oh, you smooth-talking brat."
He raised his hand and waved it, and the "Dragon Dance" completely dissipated.
"From today on, you are the head of the Uchiha clan. Take care of yourself in the future."
After Xuanwu finished speaking, he disappeared into the night sky.
After a long while, Uchiha Fugaku, who had been kneeling on the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh, I'm alive again."
...
The torrential rain that lasted for three hours finally stopped, as if announcing the end of an era.
In just three hours, Konoha had undergone tremendous changes.
The Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru, who is assumed by people, defected, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had his arm broken and was seriously injured, Konoha's only advisor and Root leader Shimura Danzo died, the new Anbu chief Kato Dan died, almost all members of the Root were wiped out, the Uchiha clan was destroyed, and only five members were left, two of whom are missing.
However, this is just the beginning.
The root has caused such a big mess that it will definitely be banned, and the remaining three or two cats, big and small, will most likely be secretly executed.
Due to Kato Dan, the Anbu will also undergo a major purge.
Orochimaru's old subordinates will be strictly investigated. Anyone with problems will not be let off, and those without problems will also be marginalized.
What's worse, because of the rebellion of Danzo Shimura and the defection of Orochimaru, the prestige of the Third Hokage Sarutobi will definitely be severely hit. If he can't come up with any good solution, his position as Hokage will be in jeopardy.
...
Jiraiya slowly opened his eyes.
"Where am I?"
"Wake up, and fly by yourself when you wake up."
Jiraiya looked around and realized that he was flying in the air. In front of him, Tsunade was sitting cross-legged in the air with one hand on her chin, flying him slowly. Side by side with him was the body of Kato Dan.
After a few seconds of pause and recalling everything that happened before, Jiraiya immediately stood up and shouted anxiously, "Where's Orochimaru, Tsunade, where did he go!"
"I left long ago. When I found you, you were the only one passed out next to the tree."
"That's it."
Jiraiya's eyes dimmed quickly, he lowered his head and said sadly: "He's really gone, really."
Tsunade consoled him, "Jiraiya, Orochimaru's betrayal was not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself."
"But, if I had been smarter and noticed his abnormality earlier, maybe, maybe..."
"It's useless. He pursues different things from us. Sooner or later, we will go our separate ways."
"Ah~"
Zilai didn't say anything else, just lamented to himself. His friend of decades had suddenly broken up with him, and this kind of blow could not be healed with just a few words.
He looked at Kato Dan, who had pursued Tsunade with him in the past but was now a corpse, and felt even more upset.
"Another old friend has passed away. What are you going to do with him?"
“Duan came to this point entirely because of me. If he hadn’t been so obsessed with me, he wouldn’t have betrayed Konoha.
So, I want the old man to be lenient and not bring disaster to his family. I heard that he has a niece who is about the same age as Kakashi and is also studying in the Ninja School. If possible, after she graduates, I plan to take her in as my apprentice, as a kind of compensation for the loss."
Jiraiya only realized when he heard the old man's name that where had his teacher gone?
"Tsunade, where is the old man? Why isn't he with you?"
Tsunade said unhappily: "It's a pity that you still remember your mentor. Your reaction is so slow."
"What do you mean?"
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
Sarutobi Hiruzen and hundreds of Sarutobi clan ninjas behind him appeared below Tsunade.
"Earth escape, super light and heavy rock technique",
Sarutobi Hiruzen flew into the air and came to Tsunade and asked, "Tsunade, why are you back? Where is Danzo? Did he run away?"
Tsunade said who are you looking down on!
"Why are you running? I've already killed you."
"What did you say, done? By yourself?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little bit unbelievable. That was Danzo, his most trusted companion in the past. Even he had to work hard to capture Danzo, but he was easily killed by Tsunade!
Tsunade pointed behind him, "No, your ANBU chief's body. As for your good companion, I can only say sorry, he has been burned to ashes and cannot be brought back."
Only then did Sarutobi Hiruzen notice the body of Kato Dan behind Tsunade.
Of course, there is also his apprentice Jiraiya, who is still alive.
...
After Orochimaru defeated Jiraiya, he immediately headed towards the Land of Rice Fields, where his secret base was.
As he was flying, Snake was forced to stop again. There was no other way as there was another person blocking the way ahead, and he was even more troublesome than Jiraiya.
"Oh~, Xuanwu-kun, what brings you here?"
Xuanwu spread his hands and said, "I can't help it. You're leaving without saying a word and without even giving me a chance to say goodbye. So I have no choice but to come find you."
Orochimaru didn't believe Xuanwu's lies and said bluntly: "Xuanwu-kun, let's not beat around the bush and make a condition. What do you want me to pass through?"
He had just fought with Jiraiya and had been rushing on the road. His chakra level was less than 30% of the usual level. Fighting against Xuanwu in this state was basically the same as delivering food.
Because Jiraiya would remember the old friendship, but Xuanwu might not. I have betrayed him so many times, it would be good enough if he didn't take this opportunity to take revenge.
The only solution now is to prepare for heavy bleeding.
But he guessed wrong.
"then."
Xuanwu threw a scroll over.
"Shadow Snake Hand",
Orochimaru released a snake and caught it.
Xuanwu said "tsk tsk" twice and started to talk business. "You are quite cautious, don't worry, if I wanted to do it, I would have done it a long time ago. Take this scroll to the Land of Grass and find Wuxia, the leader of the Grass Village. She will provide you with everything you want. I won't say more for now. I will find you later. See you later."
"Bang",
Xuanwu turned into smoke and dissipated. It turned out to be a shadow clone.
Orochimaru held the scroll and thought for a long time, and finally changed his route to the Land of Grass.
