The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated.

Chapter 221: The God of Otherworld! The Rewritten Will!

The small meeting ended in a whimper.

Li Xia and Orochimaru left with their thoughts respectively.

Li Xia was fine, thinking that this was Sarutobi Hiruzen's basic operation.

But for Orochimaru, this was undoubtedly an act of total denial, a repetitive lack of trust in him as a disciple! The resulting sense of loss quietly turned into a deep pain!
"Teacher, you can deny my ability, but you can't deny my philosophy...

This is clearly an era of change, and some small countries are developing heavy industries.

I heard that the Snow Kingdom royal family is developing chakra armor...

The daimyo of the Wind Country is tinkering with missile laser cannons...

The Kumogakure is researching chakra cannons...

The Artisan Ninja Village is tinkering with a special kind of chakra ninja tool...

The Aerial Ninja Village, which had attacked Konoha but was defeated by Konoha before, has revived and is now destroying the aerial fortress and submarines...

Everyone is changing and progressing, except Konoha, which is still following the ways passed down from the Warring States Period.

This kind of closed-door and self-contained behavior will not bring any benefits to the times.

If Konoha doesn't catch up now, doesn't seize the initiative, and doesn't invest a little, it will fall behind in the future and be controlled by others. The price it will pay will inevitably be even greater."

"Teacher, if you had the invincible strength of the first generation, I would have nothing to say; if you had the amazing wisdom, strategy, insight, and long-term vision of the second generation, I would not need to say more. But you have nothing except the title of 'Doctor of Ninjutsu'."

"If this continues, Konoha, which once dominated four villages, will only become mediocre! Those ninja clans will no longer create value, but will lie on the village to suck blood! Is there any need for such a decadent village to exist? What is the meaning of the first generation establishing Konoha?"

After Orochimaru left the Hokage's office, he kept thinking about what was wrong with his opinion.

After thinking about it, I finally realized that maybe it wasn't his opinion that was problematic, but the person who listened to it.

"Konoha is indeed rotten now..."

"In the entire Konoha Village, there is only one person who speaks the same language as me..."

A young boy's figure flashed in my mind.

"Teacher, I hope you won't let me down too much tomorrow!"

Orochimaru muttered.

Just as I turned the corner, I ran into the person I had thought of just a moment ago.

"How was it? Did you get a bad answer?"

Uchiha Shisui teased.

Orochimaru nodded upon hearing this:
"[Shisui-sama] really knows the teacher well!"

Orochimaru addressed him "Sir" without any resistance, as if Uchiha Shisui was his superior, or even his master!
"It's okay. I will change his mind and make him one of ours. I will fully support you in becoming the Hokage."

Uchiha Shisui grinned.

He was very satisfied with the abilities of his kaleidoscopes.

Bie Tianshen: Control people unconsciously and make them your puppets.

Even during the Fourth War in the original timeline, Uchiha Itachi, who was resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi through the Impure World Reincarnation, was influenced by Kotoamatsukami and escaped from the control of Kabuto who performed the Impure World Reincarnation, which shows how powerful Kotoamatsukami is. In the current timeline, he deserves the title of "the strongest illusion".

Look, even Orochimaru couldn't escape Kotoamatsukami's order to "swear allegiance to Uchiha Shisui until death."

"Master Shisui, I still don't understand why we must get rid of Danzo?"

Danzo was the only one who understood and supported him in previous high-level meetings.

And he really felt that Danzo was a very useful sword and a decent partner.

At least he's flexible.

Not that pedantic.

"Because he deserves to die! He must die! Just follow my instructions."

"Yes."

After Orochimaru walked away, Uchiha Shisui turned around and looked at the Hokage Building not far away.

"Next, we just need to control Sarutobi Hiruzen, capture Danzo and force him to tell us the whereabouts of the trialists. Then, we can gather the power of the entire Konoha Village and eliminate all the new trialists in Konoha Village. It will be a piece of cake!"

Shisui thought secretly.

Before, he discovered the diamond-shaped mark between Qiu Dao Qufeng's eyebrows and the abnormal sign that he had become much younger.

At first, he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was the Qiu Dao family's secret Yang Dun technique.

It was not until after returning to the village that Orochimaru mentioned that Princess Tsunade had also returned to the village this time, and he immediately thought of the almost identical diamond-shaped Yin Seal mark on Tsunade's forehead.

But he remembered that in the original timeline, Tsunade only taught her disciple Haruno Sakura.

After hearing the details of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, I felt that something was wrong in Konoha.

Many influential people inside and outside the clan said that it was Shimura Danzo who got the perfect Yin Seal from Tsunade and passed it on to some respected elders of Konoha. This is why when the Nine-Tails was in chaos, many elders of each clan had enough confidence to stand up and suppress the Nine-Tails for a time! It also made the losses of the village not as great as he knew from the circle of maintainers!

The one who changed all this was Danzo Shimura.

Then there must be something wrong with this Danzo.

He must have been affected by the trial-taker whom he was asked to eliminate in this maintenance mission.

The trialist is Danzo? Sorry, the secret realm didn't give any relevant hints, and he had never thought about it. Are you kidding? What kind of trialist is qualified to make the secret realm adjust the mode and turn the ordinary novice mode into a complex replacement mode?
He had never encountered it before.

Of course. For a moment, he wanted to use Kotoamatsukami directly on Danzo and make Danzo his assistant.

But when he thought of the Danzo in the original timeline taking away a Mangekyō from the original body Shisui, he lost interest in controlling Danzo.

He had said before that he would massacre Danzo, and he would definitely do what he said.

Furthermore, if there were many powerful test takers this time, it would be useless for him to control Danzo at this time point. At this time, Danzo had not yet transplanted the right arm strengthened by Hashirama's cells, and was just an ordinary Kage-level fighter.

On the other hand, Orochimaru is much stronger than Danzo, and he also has research talent and the ability to train elite troops that the old man Danzo does not possess.

Accepting Orochimaru is equivalent to booking an army of Impure World Reincarnation.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, his status and strength are there.

His current strength is even greater than Orochimaru, and his status as the old village chief requires that most of the living forces in Konoha Village obey him; accepting this old man from the Sandaime is equivalent to gaining almost all of Konoha Village's power except for the Uchiha clan.

As the leading young man of the Uchiha clan, it would be a natural thing for him to seize the position of clan leader if he defeated Uchiha Fugaku.

The Uchiha will be integrated soon.

In other words, as long as he controls Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen, the entire Konoha in the current timeline will be his.

Even if he failed to catch all the new trial takers in the village this time, even if there were other trial takers in other large ninja villages, he could use the power of the entire Konoha to investigate more new rookies in the future and eliminate them one by one, thereby improving the final evaluation of this maintenance mission!
After weighing all the above factors, he took action against Orochimaru.

When discussing the future plans of the village and some ideal aspirations with this Kage-level strong man, he attracted attention with words, and then quietly activated Kotoamatsukami with an extremely long CD of his left eye!

Bieamatsukami has two activation modes. One is [Temporary Control], which has a shorter cooling time and allows people to do things according to the caster's will during the continuous output of pupil power.

The advantage of this method is that the CD is very short, even without the blessing of Hashirama cells, each eye can be used once every few days. If it is strengthened by Hashirama cells, the cooldown time can even be shortened to one shot every two hours, and the consumption of pupil power is very small.

Another activation mode is [Permanent Limited], which is to consume all the power of a certain eye at one time to issue a command to the target.

For example, he used up all the power in his left eye to order Orochimaru to "swear allegiance to Uchiha Shisui until death."

From then on, Orochimaru would follow the principle of loyalty to Shisui in everything he did.

It's like having one more puppet who obeys your orders.

The cooldown time of this mode is quite long. If it is used without the strengthening of Hashirama's cells, it will take more than ten years or even decades to restore the pupil power.

He didn't feel like he was at a disadvantage by using the permanently limited Kotoamatsukami against Orochimaru.

He only felt that he was at a disadvantage when he used it against the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, in order to quickly eliminate the trial-takers in Konoha Village to avoid any further complications, and also to control the power of the entire village to work for him and then hunt down possible trial-takers from other ninja villages, it is necessary to consume all the Kotoamatsukami power of the other eye to gain Sarutobi Hiruzen's absolute loyalty.

...

the other side.

Li Xia, or to be more precise, his shadow clone, who had not yet walked far after saying goodbye to Orochimaru, suddenly stopped.

In doubt and surprise, he turned around and looked at a corner near the Hokage Building.

"Malice towards me?"

Immediately, his eyes narrowed.

At the same time.

root base.

Li Xia's real body, who was using the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode to determine whether the villagers were friendly to him, suddenly stood up:

“What a strong malice!

Who did I offend to have such strong malice?
Half a year ago, I had already eased the relationship between the major ninja clans through Jiraiya's acceptance of a disciple, and reached a tacit reconciliation; even the Uchiha clan, from top to bottom, remembered my kindness and no longer had any bad intentions towards me!

Not long ago, when I initially mastered the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and scanned the entire village, I didn’t find such strong malice…”

He found out and eliminated all the "spies" with malicious intentions!

"Why did two streams suddenly appear at this time...

Do not!
more than!

There are actually three more strong malices directed directly at me!"

"I just went to Takigakure and collected some of the Seven-Tails' chakra. Why did the village become a little strange?"

Who are they?
The next moment, his shadow clone saw Uchiha Shisui walking out from the corner!

I saw Shisui about to walk into the Hokage Building!

"Uchiha Shisui? How could it be him?"

The shadow clone's pupils shrank.

He remembered that in the original work, this guy had great trust in Danzo, otherwise how could he lose a Kotoamatsukami Mangekyō?
So why is it becoming so malicious now?
Hmm? Wait, could it be...

In just a moment, he suddenly realized something and his face turned red:

"not good!
He is not Shisui!
Most likely a maintainer!
He went to see Sarutobi Hiruzen...

hiss…!"

When the shadow clone thought of Sarutobi Hiruzen being turned into a die-hard fan of Kotoamatsukami, and thought of the consequences, he felt a chill in his heart.

Can't let him succeed...
