Chapter 22 Konoha’s plan to collapse
[Ning Ye and Orochimaru came out of the laboratory and walked to the reception room.
Orochimaru sat down again and said:
"It looks like you, the new wind of Konoha, are about to blow, but will those old guys in Konoha allow you to do this?"
Ning Ye also replied easily:
"Please rest assured about this. Even if we are discovered, I will have my own way to make them support my decision."
"Wow, that's really enviable."
Orochimaru was very envious of Ning Ye for this. When he was conducting experiments in Konoha, he was subject to many restrictions by the old man, and sometimes he still had to rely on Danzo for funding.
But Danzo is also an extremely dangerous and greedy guy, and cooperating with him is tantamount to courting disaster.
In the end, the human experiments were exposed and he was forced to defect from Konoha.
Thinking of the difficulties he had faced back then, Orochimaru sighed.
Ning Ye saw Orochimaru like this and tried to say:
"Mr. Orochimaru, do you intend to return to Konoha Village?"
Orochimaru was stunned when he heard this. He didn't doubt the truth of Ning Ye's words, but he still asked:
"Why? And how can I go back? Even if I go back, the old man and his men will still monitor my behavior again. This kind of troubled life is not what I want."
“Stop it, Mr. Orochimaru, I’m afraid you have more ideas than I do about how to clear a person’s name.
It's very simple, just give it to Danzo. Anyway, he also participated in human experiments back then, and the Sandaime knew about it a long time ago, but he just couldn't do it. "
Orochimaru looked at Ning Ye carefully:
"Hahaha, interesting."
He really couldn't understand why Ning Ye had such a high status in the eyes of the old man and the others, but it didn't matter.
Orochimaru shook his head and refused:
"When your influence rises in Konoha, I will return to Konoha.
Although I don't know why you have been hiding all this time, I'm sure the troubles you've encountered must be quite a lot.
But I will help you."
Ning Ye had anticipated this result a long time ago.
Yes, the Otsutsuki clan has always been a problem for him and his teacher. The main reason is that they know too little about the Otsutsuki clan.
Although there is some information about the Otsutsuki clan in the comics, it is really too little.
Ning Ye values Orochimaru and wants to study the Otsutsuki clan with him, but currently the only Otsutsuki clan members in the ninja world are Kaguya Otsutsuki, her two reckless sons, and Isshiki Otsutsuki.
Ning Ye would certainly not let go of the scientist Santu Amado, but the Shell Organization was hidden too deeply and Ning Ye had no way to stop it.
Orochimaru also told Ning Ye his original plan:
"Hehe, when I saw the invitation letter for the Chunin Exam, I thought it was time for a new wind to blow in Konoha.
But now that I have you here, I feel that other winds don’t matter.”
“Does the new wind appear by the dissipation of the old wind?”
"Yes, I think the old man is getting old. Konoha has long begun to decay under his leadership. Perhaps it's time to inject some new impetus."
"Oh, can you tell me about your plan?"
"Of course, my main intention this time is to invite Sunagakure to invade Konoha together.
The finances of Sunagakure have always been a problem for them, so if they want to survive they have no choice but to cooperate with me."
"But will the Yondaime Kazekage and the Sunagakure high-ranking officials agree?"
"Oh, even if he disagrees, the higher-ups will force him to agree. Sometimes war is also a direct way to resolve internal problems."
"I see. Then let's proceed with the plan as usual."
"Um!?"
Orochimaru even wondered if he had heard it wrongly.
Ning Ye explained to him again:
“However, if Luo Sha agrees, then just kill him.
And the Sand Village is probably facing a problem of a lack of successors."
Orochimaru rolled his eyes and somewhat understood what Ning Ye meant:
"You mean to say that once Luo Sha dies, Sunagakure will be severely damaged, and then Sunagakure will have no choice but to take action.
Well, since neither Ebizo nor Chiyo has any intention of reappearing, they may just have to pick the best from the worst.
The top brass will definitely not agree to someone from another faction being the Wind Shadow, but time is urgent, so the new Wind Shadow will most likely not be someone from the top brass."
Ning Ye also took it up.
"That's right. Konoha just needs to help the new Kazekage fight against the higher-ups."
When Orochimaru heard what Ning Ye said, he instantly felt that Ning Ye had a bold idea. He stared at Ning Ye seriously and said:
"Hehehe, Ning Ye, you are not going to control the Sand Village, are you!?"
Ning Ye's face was expressionless, and he replied:
"But you can't kill the Sandaime Hokage. He will step down after Konoha collapses."
Over the years, the Sandaime has been providing resources and manpower to him and his teacher.
When conducting the Yin-Yang Release experiment, the Sandaime simply made up his mind and made the families of Konoha's F4 bleed.
After Mitomon En and Utane Koharu knew where the resources went, they didn't dare to say a word.
Even if the Sandaime Hokage has abdicated, he still has influence, and in future plans, some things really need him to complete.
"Okay. I'll let Otogakure assist Konoha when the time comes."
The two of them have already dug a trap, waiting for the Sand Village to jump in. 】
[Rosa: Damn! Why is the Konoha Collapse Plan still going on! ?]
[Mei Terumi: Phew, this is so funny. This time, Konoha and Otogakure teamed up to trick Sandagakure.]
[Ohnoki: Rasa, you're still not strong enough! ]
[Fourth Generation Ai: Kazekage, why do you have to obey the higher-ups on key matters? You are too shameful.]
The Raikage said: We are united in Kumogakure, and the strong have the right to decide. If you are stronger than me, I can let you be the Raikage.
[Gaara: Father, you can't escape death this time. ]
Although Gaara saw the battle between himself and Uzumaki Naruto in the white sky, and was deeply shocked by the way that although they were both Jinchūriki, Naruto risked his life for his companions.
He now also wants to try to change himself. When he tried to call Temari "sister" and saw Temari's disbelief and happiness, he may have felt a little bit of the warmth that Yashamaru felt back then in his heart.
Kankuro is fine, but who is Rasa? Gaara said that we are not familiar with each other.
[Yuhi Kurenai: Will the Konoha collapse plan continue after all?]
[Sarutobi Asuma: Think positively, at least this Orochimaru is not an enemy.]
[Hatake Kakashi: That’s right, rather than calling it the Konoha Collapse Plan, it’s more like the Sand Village Collapse Plan. ]
[Sarutobi Hiruzen: It seems that I will also abdicate after this time. Forget about Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kakashi and... Orochimaru. You should resume your status as a rebel ninja first. Then who among the three of you will be the fifth Hokage this time?]
Sarutobi Hiruzen now understands the importance of Orochimaru to Ning Ye and the Second Hokage, but he still has a hurdle in his heart about Orochimaru.
