Because they clearly knew that things had come to this point and there was basically no going back.

With Orochimaru and Ara Uchiha working together, he had absolutely no chance of winning, and there was no way he could wait for any effective support.

Even if Jiraiya, who had taken Naruto Uzumaki away from the arena, had returned in time, he probably wouldn't have been able to change his fate today.

However, they still have to fight for it, not for themselves, but for the future of Konoha!

If what Uchiha Ara said is true, and all eight elite units dispatched by the Anbu have been wiped out, then the entire Hidden Leaf Village will be left in ruins under the onslaught of that force.

"What you want is the reputation and status of the Uchiha clan."

"I can create all of these for you!"

"We can achieve this as long as we eliminate these treacherous Sand Village and Sound Village members."

"I will not hold you responsible for anything, including what happened in the Dark Division."

"It was Orochimaru, the Konoha traitor, who infiltrated the Anbu system and deliberately planned this war. That's my attitude towards you."

His words were earnest, without a hint of joking or mere expediency.

However, such a promise did not move Huang's expression.

On the contrary, Orochimaru, who chose to avoid the battle, had a complicated, stiff, and unnatural expression on his face.

"Of course, if you want my life, then take it."

"If you're worried, you can use your Mangekyou Sharingan to control me, and I promise I won't resist."

"As long as I see Konoha overcome this crisis, you may do whatever you want with me afterwards."

His voice was calm, his face showed a heroic acceptance of death, and his outstretched hands indicated that he had no hostility and had completely given up resistance.

"I imagine you wouldn't want to see Konoha destroyed, would you?"

"After all, this is your home, the home of the Uchiha clan."

Finally, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke with a deep emotion, his pale hair peeking out from under his Hokage hat giving him an air of inexplicable decline and humility.

What you should know is that he is the shadow of this village!

Chapter 542 Using Their Own Methods: Compared to the Uchiha, the Senju clan has already been wiped out by your successor!

"spit."

The Third Hokage's earnest words were met only with a mouthful of blood spitting from the person before him.

"As expected of the dark forces that have been hiding in the shadows for years, the stench of blood is truly deeply ingrained."

As he muttered to himself, he casually raised his arm and wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth before finally looking at the white-haired old man standing in his field of vision.

"what?"

"What did you say?"

What do I want to get?

"Let me think about it."

As he spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, and his raised finger gently touched his temple.

However, the somewhat eerie and morbid scene gave Hiruzen Sarutobi the feeling that the other party was not actually seriously considering what he wanted to obtain, but rather trying hard to think of things that could make him feel even more heartbroken!

Meanwhile, Orochimaru, who was not among the two, gradually lost the fawning and mocking expression on his effeminate face.

Because he suddenly realized that he could not fathom the old man's determination to do everything he could to protect Konoha, nor could he fully control Uchiha Ara's inner thoughts!

The current situation has directly jeopardized their ideal plan to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

A fierce glint appeared in his eyes, and the tightly sealed coffin trembled slightly.

He felt it was his duty to stir up the gradually quieting atmosphere once again!

[Old man, let me add one more bombshell for you!!]

"Bang."

"Bang."

With the sound of two dull coffin planks hitting the ground, two figures, seemingly decayed by time, were exposed to the air.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who remained wary of Orochimaru, had a slight tremor in the corner of his eye.

Because those two deceased who were summoned back from the underworld were...!

At that moment, Huang seemed to have figured out the conditions from his considerations.

"I'd give up power, reputation, and even your life."

"All I want is for all the dead of my clan who died in that conspiracy five years ago to be resurrected."

He looked straight ahead at the white-haired old man and spoke slowly, paying no attention to the two dead who were suddenly exposed to the air.

After all, since they are all ancient people who have died, how can they still wreak havoc in the present world?

Their era,

That's all in the past.

Upon hearing these words, Orochimaru suddenly felt that his thoughts had been exposed too early.

Moreover, I should know very well that someone from that madman clan would never easily suppress the hatred in his heart.

In one respect, he is still considered to be of the same kind as this clan.

However, since things have come to this point, there seems to be no need to be too upset.

If the old man were to fall prematurely, it would not be of any benefit to him.

"Feel sorry."

"The dead are gone."

"I can't meet this condition."

The pressure exerted by both sides, along with the reappearance of the deceased, made Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice even more humble and difficult to control.

"Do not."

"you can."

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique can be performed by using your clansmen as sacrifices."

Huang's voice was extremely calm, his expressionless calmness revealing no hint of a joke.

Such a request immediately caused Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression to change drastically.

This change was even more striking than seeing those two teachers again!

Because he never imagined that this young junior would make such a terrifying request!

That's the life of an entire clan!

This guy actually brought it up so casually!

How could he possibly agree to such a request?

This is deliberately making things difficult.

This also caused him to completely give up the idea of ​​making a compromise.

'Squeak, squeak.'

At the same time, a strange sound, like stepping on rotten leaves, rang out from outside the two people facing off.

They were the two deceased who were summoned from the underworld to the present world.

They slowly stepped out of the coffin, their bodies emitting strange sounds, like two soulless walking corpses.

However, after only a few breaths, their eyes began to focus, and the decaying sound gradually disappeared.

For a moment, they were almost exactly like they were when they were alive!

If we ignore the sense of decay and desolation that emanates from the underworld about them...

"Long time no see, monkey."

A calm voice came from the middle-aged ninja who looked older.

He wore dark red ninja armor, a headband symbolizing Konoha, and black hair that reached down to his back.

"Oh, it's you."

“You’re getting on in years, Sarutobi.”

The other figure appeared slightly younger, with white hair and red markings on his face. His voice and blue ninja armor highlighted his unruly nature.

Of course, the face shields worn also bear the symbol of Konoha.

Furthermore, judging from the way they addressed the Third Hokage, they were both his elders.

That seemingly indifferent "monkey" actually contained a great deal of emotion.

The familiar voice that transcended the torrent of time entered his ears, instantly causing Hiruzen Sarutobi's state of mind to tremble.

"First generation, second generation."

"I never expected to see you two brothers again in this way."

He forcibly suppressed the unease he felt at the conditions offered by Uchiha Ara and turned slightly to the side.

When his gaze finally fell upon the two figures who remained eternally in his memory, a few tears welled up in his aged eyes.

Because these two were his seniors, his mentors, and great men he wanted to follow throughout his life!

However, after exchanging greetings, the Second Hokage seemed to have no intention of continuing the pleasantries, and instead focused his gaze on the boy dressed in simple martial arts attire.

"Kid, the pattern in your eyes doesn't seem to be anything simple."

"You're from the Uchiha clan?"

Tobirama said directly.

The voice was still full of arrogance, but besides arrogance, there seemed to be another underlying attitude.

It is hostility.
