The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

"And now, we do have the conditions to do so."

"Using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, I summon the departed souls."

"It's like taking out all of Konoha's accumulated resources over the years at once."

"The only thing that can counter the Impure World Reincarnation technique is sealing techniques."

"But Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure are not actually very good at sealing techniques."

"Konoha has always held the view that multiple ninja villages can coexist."

"But Konoha has been pushed to the brink of collapse by them; they've gone too far."

"Konoha now has ample reason to take action against them."

"No one can utter a single word."

Since other ninja villages were able to destroy Konoha.

Therefore, it would be reasonable for Konoha to destroy the other ninja villages.

No one can criticize Konoha from a moral high ground.

"Orochimaru, where do you think we should begin?"

Orochimaru said, "Tobirama-senpai, I think we should focus on defeating one ninja village first."

“Once the three of them team up, the difficulty of dealing with them will increase exponentially.”

Tobirama Senju nodded.

"Then which ninja village do you think would be a suitable target?"

Orochimaru began to analyze.

"It's either Kumogakure or Kirigakure."

"The reason we chose Kirigakure as our first target is because of our Zanpakuto."

"The existence of Zanpakuto has greatly enhanced the strength of Kirigakure."

"We in Konoha previously considered seizing some Zanpakuto for research."

"But unfortunately, they all failed."

"If we defeat Kirigakure first, we can obtain the secret of the Zanpakuto."

"Furthermore, as time goes on, the number of Zanpakuto in Kirigakure will increase. Taking care of Kirigakure sooner will eliminate a potentially huge threat."

"The reason for choosing Kumogakure is its geographical location."

"The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Stone Village are extremely far apart. If the two ninja villages want to form an alliance, they will inevitably face more difficulties."

"Different from Kumogakure."

"Facing both Kirigakure and Iwagakure at the same time, we will find it easier to find opportunities to defeat these two ninja villages one by one."

"Tobirama-senpai, what do you think?"

Tobirama Senju raised his chin.

"Orochimaru, your analysis is not much different from mine."

"The Zanpakuto is certainly a threat."

"But you also said that Kirigakure needs time to gain more strength,"

"Time stands on the side of Kirigakure."

"But at the same time, they are also on our side."

"With more time, we can resurrect more ninjas using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

"Don't worry too much."

"In comparison, creating an opportunity for us in Konoha to defeat them one by one is even more valuable."

Orochimaru hesitated for a moment.

"Then, Tobirama-senpai, shall we act now?"

"The sooner the better."

Tobirama Senju said, "The three of us, along with Jiraiya and Dan Kato, make a total of five. We are sure to kill all the key ninjas in the core of Kumogakure."

"With their deaths, the Hidden Cloud Village fell into chaos."

"Then they will no longer be able to pose a threat to our Konoha."

As Tobirama Senju finished speaking, the three of them quietly left Konoha.

Tobirama Senju, Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's figure fell last.

Looking up at the two figures in front of him, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a little jealous.

He was clearly Tobirama Senju's disciple.

But now Orochimaru and Tobirama Senju are getting closer.

Orochimaru's attitude was radical.

Orochimaru didn't care if the means he used to achieve his goals were immoral, unjust, or dishonest.

Tobirama Senju's attitude was also radical.

Otherwise, techniques like the Impure World Reincarnation and Mutual Explosion Tags wouldn't have been developed.

It's just that he was possibly suppressed by Hashirama Senju during his lifetime.

But now, upon hearing the news that Konoha was on the verge of destruction, Tobirama Senju felt that the path Hashirama Senju had chosen was ultimately too idealistic and unrealistic.

Therefore, Tobirama Senju had previously abandoned all those "conservative" ideas in his mind.

He then reverted to his true, radical attitude.

Furthermore, Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru could exchange techniques.

These are not qualities that Hiruzen Sarutobi possesses now.

Upon arriving at the front lines, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately sought out Jiraiya and Dan Kato.

"Sarutobi-sensei."

"Third generation sir."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gestures.

"follow me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi led the two of them to Orochimaru and Tobirama Senju.

"Hokage-sama."

"Second generation sir."

Kato Dan had a good impression of Orochimaru.

Kato Dan remembers that Orochimaru was Tsunade's younger brother and Nawaki's mentor back then.

Orochimaru felt guilty for a long time because of Nawaki's death.

And it was precisely because of Nawaki's death that he and Tsunade gradually came together.

"Lord Hokage, I knew you would become Hokage."

Kato Dan arrived next to Orochimaru.

"If Nawaki knew that his teacher had become Hokage, he would be very happy."

This name also brought Orochimaru back to his memories.

A name from afar.

A long time ago, Orochimaru's thoughts were actually the same as most ninjas.

Witnessing one by one the people he cared about die on the battlefield or during missions, Orochimaru couldn't help but ponder the meaning of life and death.

It can be said that Nawaki also contributed to Orochimaru's current ideas.

"maybe."

"By the way, Hokage-sama, is there any news about Tsunade in the village?"

Kato Dan asked Jiraiya.

But Jiraiya's answer was that he didn't know.

Kato Dan didn't believe that Jiraiya would deceive him.

But after all, Jiraiya was just a ninja.

There must be someone in Konoha who still has connections with Tsunade.

"not yet."

Orochimaru shook his head.

"However, I have already sent people to look for it."

As he spoke, Orochimaru couldn't help but glance at Jiraiya.

With Kato Dan resurrected, Tsunade will most likely return to Konoha.

This judgment was made based on Orochimaru's understanding of Tsunade.

But Orochimaru had no idea how Jiraiya would feel about this.

Would you be happy that Tsunade is returning to the village?

Will you still be heartbroken to see Tsunade and Dan Kato living happily ever after?

An ANBU ninja quickly approached.

"Lord Hokage, we have located the Raikage's position."

"Okay, lead the way."
