I rely on myself

Chapter 734 Konoha Collapse Plan

"… Was it the sacrifice of your teammates that made you hate Konoha? This is a possibility that I thought of when I got the information about you. But now, even though we have only fought a few times, I don't feel any hatred towards Konoha from you. Instead, it seems more like a feeling of indifference. This makes me even more curious about why you left Konoha."

Senju Tobirama expressed his personal guess and asked Lin Yuan again. After hearing this, everyone else looked at Lin Yuan, very curious about his answer.

After all, Lin Yuan's defection took Sarutobi Hiruzen a lot of effort. If it was just Lin Yuan himself, or even if he took the people from the orphanage with him, there wouldn't be much of a stir. After all, their existence was not very common to most of the people in Konoha, and even if they disappeared, it wouldn't cause much of a stir. But it's different for the Uchiha clan.

Although on the surface, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not actually participate in the genocide that night, to say that he was completely unaware of it or could not have anticipated it would be an underestimation of the longest-serving Hokage.

However, he directly chose to approve Danzo's action. After all, if it was successful, it would directly solve the big problem of the Uchiha clan at that time, and the result is well known.

Because of Lin Yuan's intervention, the genocide operation that was supposed to be carried out secretly was directly escalated. Even some Uchiha clan members made preparations in advance and escaped from Konoha in the chaos.

In order to cover up this matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen spent a lot of effort to do it, but even so, many ninjas in Konoha knew about it.

Due to the power of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the longest serving Hokage, they chose to keep silent, but other than that, they all kept their distance from him, fearing that their clan would become the next Uchiha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very distressed about this, but he had no good solution. After all, once the crack in trust appeared, it would not be so easy to disappear.

Back to the topic, facing Senju Tobirama's questioning and the curious looks of others, Lin Yuan did not expect that so many people would be curious about why he defected, and spoke with some amusement.

"There's no point in talking about this now, right? To be honest, it seems to me that you, the Second Hokage, would be curious about this kind of thing. This really doesn't match my impression of you."

"Indeed, this is a bit against my style, so I said I was just curious."

"...Well, it's not a very special reason. It's just a simple difference in philosophy. Can you accept this, Second Hokage?"

"Different ideas?"

Although he was a little hesitant, Lin Yuan finally gave an answer, and Senju Tobirama was somewhat surprised by this answer.

It's not that he couldn't understand it. After all, this was not the first time that Tobirama Senju had encountered the same situation. The most famous example was between his brother Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara. The reason for their breakup was also due to differences in their ideas.

What really surprised Senju Tobirama was what kind of philosophy made Lin Yuan choose to leave Konoha. If it was for power, then with Lin Yuan's ability, he would be able to fight for the position of Hokage, but he did not do it. Instead, he chose to leave Konoha and go to the extremely remote Snow Country, as if he was planning to build a whole new country.

Although Senju Tobirama wanted to continue the conversation to obtain more information, it was obvious that Lin Yuan had no intention of continuing the discussion. After all, to be honest, time had already dragged on for a long time.

Lin Yuan took off his coat and threw it aside, revealing the tight clothes he was wearing. The most eye-catching thing was the gem decoration connected by a chain around his waist. The gem was emitting a faint golden yellow color, and the rock-like mark inside was constantly flashing. "Eye of God!"

The moment everyone saw this gem decoration, its name immediately came to everyone's mind. As the creator of the Eye of God, Lin Yuan himself would naturally not be without the Eye of God. This was something everyone had expected, and even Orochimaru had experienced this power six years ago.

And now this power appeared before his eyes again, which made his eyes suddenly become hot. He stared at the small ornament intently, unable to look away.

"Turn the rock!"

As Lin Yuan said this, the golden light that Orochimaru was familiar with flashed again. At the same time, at this moment, Lin Yuan's body was completely wrapped in golden runes and transparent light film, without any gaps. Then the dazzling golden runes quickly disappeared and began to disappear, but Orochimaru was very clear that those runes did not disappear, they were just hidden.

Once Lin Yuan was attacked in any way, those runes would instantly appear and completely block the attack. In the previous battle with Lin Yuan, it was those runes that blocked all his attacks.

At this time, the first and second generation Hokage, who were Lin Yuan's opponents, felt it even more deeply. What they felt from Lin Yuan was an aura as heavy as a mountain.

"What a joke!"

At this time, Tobirama Senju was completely out of control, because in his impression, Lin Yuan's aura at this time could only be matched by Hashirama Senju or Uchiha Madara at their prime, and even surpassed if one felt it carefully. However, Tobirama Senju quickly rejected this idea, thinking that he had misjudged it because he had not experienced his elder brother's aura for a long time.

However, the most important thing now is to deal with the enemy in front of him. Thinking of this, Senju Tobirama instantly became serious, and his body tensed up, ready to attack at any time. The same went for Senju Hashirama next to him.

Lin Yuan took a step forward, but this step instantly bridged the distance between him and his opponent. He instantly came in front of the two previous Hokage, raised his right fist, and then swung it down with force.

It was just such a seemingly ordinary punch to others, but to the two brothers Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, it was like a meteorite falling from the sky, carrying an extremely shocking deterrent force.

Not daring to relax at all, Senju Hashirama quickly put his hands together and shouted, "Wood Release, Wood Formation Wall!!"

In an instant, a large number of thick trees emerged from the roof at an astonishing speed and formed a semicircular protective wall. Although it looked like just a shield made of wood, Hashirama Senju had once used this technique to block the Nine-Tailed Fox's Tailed Beast Ball, so its defensive power was evident.

Even though his strength has been reduced due to the Impure World Reincarnation, and the defensive power of this technique has also been reduced, in Senju Tobirama's opinion, it is still enough to block this attack.

But the reality is often so outrageous...
