Chapter 151 The Vision We Want to Achieve
This is also why Mitomon En, Utatane Koharu and others kept silent about Menma's identity at the high-level meeting, because they knew that it was meaningless to talk about it. This time bomb has already exploded, and they have few options left.
The most important thing to do is to capture Menma in the shortest time, but this is obviously impossible.
Unless Orochimaru is crazy and directly backstabs Menma, it must be a perfect backstab.
It is also because of this that Danzo was furious in the Root base. He really didn't expect Orochimaru to dare to disobey his orders. At this point, Danzo still didn't see his position clearly and really thought that Orochimaru was a subordinate who only obeyed his orders.
He wanted to cut off all contact with Orochimaru and ordered the people of the Root to hunt down Orochimaru. However, considering the interests of other parties, Danzo could only be forced to endure it. The current situation is different from many years ago.
At that time, Orochimaru, who had just defected, really needed Danzo's support in all aspects, but now that Orochimaru has become a powerful figure, Danzo can no longer control him. Instead, Danzo needs Orochimaru's help in many research aspects, whether it is Sharingan, Wood Release, or anything else.
Danzo has no way to leave Orochimaru.
Therefore, this Konoha Pot King can only angrily scold Orochimaru a few more times in private, and what to do with the rest, or what to do.
This is Danzo's limitation.
And the other ninja high-ranking people in Konohagakure, as well as all the senior ninjas, also kept the greatest degree of silence on this incident.
They can't, and don't want to, speak out. The current Konoha is no longer the original Konoha. Everyone is walking on thin ice. Originally, the appointment of the fourth generation Hokage Minato Namikaze allowed the major ninjas in Konohagakure to see the dawn of a different future for the village and themselves, but it is a pity that this fourth generation Hokage died young just over a year after taking office.
The halo of Konoha F4 once again enveloped the head of Konohagakure.
It’s true that the death of the Third Hokage this time actually made the major ninja clans in the village, led by Nara Shikaku, feel relieved. They really hope to welcome a different Hokage.
Tsunade and Jiraiya are their expectations.
They also believe that if one of these two becomes the Fifth Hokage, Konoha will definitely become different, or the same as the beginning!
‘Jiraiya-sama, you must find Tsunade-sama back. . . ’
Konohagakure, Nara clan’s residence.
Nara Shikaku sat in the corridor of his family courtyard, looking at the huge Hokage Rock in the distance, with a complex look in his pupils.
As a ninja clan that has been completely integrated with Konoha, Shikaku does not want to see Konoha usher in turmoil.
This will be a disaster for them and ordinary people.
And it was when Shikaku was talking about it.
At the exit of Tansho Street in the southwest of the Land of Fire.
Jiraiya and his party, who had already found and successfully persuaded Tsunade, were also preparing to return to the Hidden Leaf Village.
There was not much difference from the original work.
Jiraiya still took Naruto away from Konoha to search for Tsunade's trace.
Here he encountered Orochimaru who also came to find Tsunade.
The same battle, the same result.
Naruto's passion and fighting spirit still infected Tsunade. The granddaughter of the first generation of Hokage also placed the shadow of her former lover and brother on Naruto.
"What's wrong? Naruto, you still look depressed. Are you really affected by Orochimaru's words? This is not the Naruto I am familiar with who is full of fighting spirit in front of you."
Tsunade looked at Naruto in the back position, with a smile on her lips and said.
"Ah? Grandma Tsunade, how could I be affected? That, I just thought of some other things."
This is obviously not a lie at all.
As soon as Tsunade's words fell.
Naruto waved his hand with a panicked look on his face.
"You, you really have no potential to lie, it's all shown on your face."
Tsunade tapped Naruto's forehead with a smile.
Naruto's expression also froze for a moment, then he lowered his shoulders and said with a bitter smile: "Tsunade-san, you say, Menma, can my brother come back to Konoha? Although my brother killed Brother Xuanjian, but, but I..."
He defected from the village and killed Shiranui Xuanjian, a special ninja of Konohagakure, in full view of the public.
From the perspective of common sense, it is clear that Menma can't turn back. This is a blatant crime. According to the basic rules of Konoha, it must be killed directly.
But emotionally, Naruto can't accept such an ending. He can be called hypocritical or naive, but he still hopes that Menma can turn back and return to Konoha.
He still felt that Menma was just too resentful, just because some misunderstandings could not be resolved, and then he was bewitched by Orochimaru.
But in the battle yesterday.
The words that Orochimaru said at the end hit Naruto mercilessly again.
He really didn't want to believe Orochimaru's words, but it seemed that those words were true.
"Whatever you want to do, then do it and do what you say. Isn't this your ninja way? Naruto, do everything according to your own ideas, and leave the rest to me! "
Tsunade said with a very domineering wave of her hand.
Tsunade does have the confidence to say these things.
She went back this time to succeed the Fifth Hokage. As the Shadow of a Village, she could decide on many things.
Regulations are regulations, but people can use them flexibly.
In the original novel, didn’t Orochimaru die a happy death in the end? More than one Konoha ninja died in the hands of Orochimaru! ?
They had all killed their master, but in the end, with just one word from Naruto, wouldn't all the sins be taken away lightly?
A powerful and prestigious Hokage can do this.
Obviously, in Tsunade's opinion, she has such confidence and power.
"Yes, Naruto, don't hesitate, just do everything according to your own wishes. Tsunade and I will stand firmly behind you and support you."
Jiraiya, who was sitting next to him, also looked at Naruto with a hint of encouragement and said.
Meet the two people's gaze.
Naruto mustered up a million courages in his heart, nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I understand, Grandpa Jiraiya, Grandma Tsunade!"
‘Menma, I will definitely bring you back, even if I have to break your legs, I will definitely bring you back! ’
Naruto clenched his hands tightly and looked in a more distant direction. At this moment, a faint golden halo seemed to appear in his blue pupils.
