Chapter 297 Uehara Shuu's Omnipotent Crafting

Tobirama Senju looked at Danzo and frowned.

Tobirama Senju sensed that Danzo was unusually excited when he mentioned this matter.

It's not just about bringing back Hanzo's corpse to increase Konoha's overall strength; there are other things involved as well.

"Danzo has this kind of quirk?"

Tobirama Senju muttered something to himself and shook his head.

"No need."

Tobirama Senju said, "Besides the Impure World Reincarnation, we also need to win over other small ninja villages."

"Rain Village is also one of our targets for recruitment."

"First, we'll try to win them over. Once we do, if Amegakure wants to improve the village's overall strength, they will inevitably ask us to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique on their dead ninjas."

"Back then, they were the ones begging us."

Danzo hesitated for a moment.

"What if Tobirama-sensei, the Rain Village hadn't allied with us?"

"Then it depends on whether they choose to remain neutral or join Kirigakure. If they remain neutral, we will not take action against Hanzo of the Salamander for the time being. If they join Kirigakure, then Danzo, you go and steal back Hanzo of the Salamander's body."

Danzo nodded.

"By the way, Tobirama-sensei, the remaining ninjas from Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure have formed a new alliance called the Garden of Mist."

"The vast majority of ninjas are concentrated on an island near the Land of Hot Springs."

"That island was also named the Garden of Mist."

Tobirama Senju's brow twitched.

"The Garden of Mist?"

"It seems that Kirigakure is as I expected, which means that there will be no large-scale battle between us and Kirigakure in the near future."

"We can focus more on improving the overall strength of the village."

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So, Tobirama-sensei, the Hidden Mist Village's goal is now the same as ours? They also want to unify the ninja world?"

"A mere Hidden Mist Village, yet such grand ambitions!"

"It's all thanks to Konoha."

"If our Konoha hadn't defeated Iwagakure and utterly crushed Kumogakure, Kirigakure would never have had the chance to create the Garden of Mist. Kirigakure has taken a huge advantage of our Konoha."

"Now they still take it for granted that they can oppose Konoha."

Danzo grew increasingly resentful and contemptuous of Kirigakure.

The Sarutobi clan was immersed in an atmosphere of sorrow.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's existence has both merits and demerits for Konoha, and as to whether the merits outweigh the demerits or vice versa, different people will have different opinions.

However, for the Sarutobi clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi's existence was definitely more meritorious than demeritful.

Hiruzen Sarutobi led the Sarutobi clan to its peak.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi's death was a sorrowful event for the entire Sarutobi clan.

The funeral was personally presided over by Sarutobi Sasuke.

After the funeral, the Sarutobi clan seemed to have undergone some changes, yet it also seemed that nothing had changed at all.

Sarutobi Sasuke perfectly replaced Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This seems to contradict the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

But that is indeed the case.

Sarutobi Sasuke's abilities, status, and reputation are more than enough to manage the Sarutobi clan well.

"grandfather."

Two figures arrived in front of Sarutobi Sasuke.

It was Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Sarutobi Asuma.

Sarutobi Sasuke looked up and sized up the two of them.

However, to Sarutobi Sasuke's surprise, neither Sarutobi Shinnosuke nor Sarutobi Asuma showed the deep sorrow over their father's death on their faces.

There was sadness, but it wasn't intense enough.

They are not even as good as some other members of the Sarutobi clan.

If someone did that, Sarutobi Sasuke would think that person was heartless.

But since both of them were like this, Sarutobi Sasuke felt that there might be a problem with Hiruzen Sarutobi's family education.

Sarutobi Sasuke then thought of himself.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was willing to sacrifice his life to save himself.

That's what true father-son affection should be like.

"Could it be that Hiruzen abandoned his family to become Hokage?"

"Is that why Shinnosuke and Asuma don't have deep feelings for Hiruzen?"

Sarutobi Sasuke remained silent for a while.

"Shin-no-suke, Asuma, Hiruzen has passed away. The future of the Sarutobi clan rests on the shoulders of the two of you. The war situation in the village will ease slightly in the coming period."

"I will stay within the family and provide guidance to you."

"Feel free to ask me any questions."

"Go down, don't dwell on your sadness, get some rest, training starts tomorrow."

The two nodded.

"Yes, Grandpa."

Then, they walked out.

Sarutobi Sasuke watched the two figures disappear and sighed.

"Not only Hiruzen, but Biwako is also dead. I want to know what happened to Shinnosuke and Asuma, but I have no idea where to start. The other clansmen are unlikely to know anything."

Suddenly, Sarutobi Sasuke seemed to have thought of something.

"Wait, Hiruzen was killed by the Mortal Blade and cannot be resurrected by Edo Tensei, but Biwako is not."

With a thought, Sarutobi Sasuke found Orochimaru.

"Hokage-sama."

Orochimaru, despite being a junior, holds the position of Hokage.

"Sasuke-senpai."

"Lord Hokage, I have a request. I hope you can help me resurrect Sarutobi Biwako using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Not long ago, I met Shinnosuke and Asuma."

Sarutobi Sasuke said, "Something seems off about the two of them."

"I need to get specific information about the two of them from Sarutobi Biwako."

Orochimaru didn't refuse.

"no problem."

The idea of resurrecting Mitokado Homura using the Impure World Reincarnation technique was rejected by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Because it was felt that Homura Mitokado, resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, was not strong enough and that the technique might be abused, there were quite a few ninjas of similar strength to Homura Mitokado.

If the Impure World Reincarnation resurrects many unnecessary people, it will cause chaos in Konoha.

However, Orochimaru didn't see the resurrection of Sarutobi Biwako as that serious.

Lake Biwa, Sarutobi, can exist without leaving the Sarutobi clan, and few outsiders know about it.

Soon, Orochimaru arrived at the Sarutobi clan.

The body of Sarutobi Biwako is ready.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique".

The sacrificial offering was a ninja captured from Iwagakure.

The ground churned with mud, quickly enveloping the Iwagakure ninja.

The next moment, it transformed into the appearance of Lake Biwa, Sarutobi.

"here it is?"

“I remember, wasn’t I already dead?”

"Or is this the afterlife?"
