Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

Chapter 111 I, Orochimaru, am the Acting Hokage

"Orochimaru, have you gone mad?"

Nara Shikaku stared wide-eyed at the Konoha rogue ninja with suspicion, and said in a deep voice, "Back then, you harmed your own village ninjas and stole the First Hokage's cells to conduct inhumane human experiments. Your crimes were unforgivable. What right do you have to impeach the Third Hokage?"

A ninja who defected from Konoha years ago returns to impeach the Third Hokage?

It has a kind of dark humor feel to it.

Despite being accused, Orochimaru maintained his smile, as if he had been prepared for everything, and said unhurriedly, "Your Ino-Shika-Cho clan has always been an accomplice in protecting the Third Hokage!"

“I made it very clear that it was Danzo Shimura and the Third Hokage who actually conducted human experiments and stole the First Hokage’s cells. I was deceived by them and acted as a test for them. After learning the truth, I wanted to expose them, but I was framed and expelled from Konoha!”

"The one who truly devours and destroys Konoha is not me, but the shadow bathed in sunlight!"

Nonsense, turning black into white!

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his mouth, his lips trembling. This baseless accusation filled him with anger mixed with a hint of amusement.

Danzo and Orochimaru collaborated on human experiments, and Danzo only realized this when he was exposed. The accusation that he stole Hashirama's cells was completely unfounded.

Just as he was organizing his thoughts to refute, he suddenly realized...

Previously, after Sasuke Uchiha caused a great disturbance, Danzo Shimura's Sharingan on his right arm and the face of the First Hokage were exposed to everyone.

It has been confirmed that Danzo Shimura conducted human experiments and had connections with Orochimaru.

In this way, his past decision to let Orochimaru go out of pity and not expose or punish Danzo would be seen by everyone as...

Orochimaru was forced to leave the village by the combined forces of the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura!

Hiruzen Sarutobi abruptly stopped himself from saying what he was about to say.

He glared angrily at Orochimaru, his most prized disciple. It was always others who took the blame for him, and this was the first time he had ever experienced the frustration of being a scapegoat.

Seeing Orochimaru's still unsatisfied expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, feeling he couldn't let the other continue.

He threw out shuriken, made hand seals with his fingers, and several shuriken turned into a sky full of black shadows.

Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique.

Orochimaru, riddled with holes, crawled out unharmed, licking the slime off his face, his smile undiminished.

His voice suddenly became shrill.

"Sarutobi-sensei, are you planning to kill me to cover your tracks?"

"I am impeaching you for the sake of Konoha. Your crimes are numerous. In addition to human experimentation, you stood by and watched Danzo spread rumors that led to the death of Hokage candidate Sakumo Hatake in order to consolidate your power!"

"During the Nine-Tails' rampage, the Uchiha clan wanted to rush to their aid, but you instructed Danzo to stop them, leading to the death of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!"

"Naruto Uzumaki, the orphan of the Fourth Hokage, allowed the rumors about the Nine-Tailed Fox to spread, yet he himself acted as a good guy, trying to keep the Jinchuriki in your hands!"

"The Cloud Village ninja brazenly kidnapped the Hyuga clan leader's daughter in Konoha. You are weak and incompetent, even allowing the ninjas protecting the village to sacrifice themselves to appease the Cloud Village ninjas, causing the Konoha ninjas to feel insecure and become alienated from the village!"

"Sarutobi-sensei, you are too old. Your heart is numb, your flesh and blood are beginning to rot. You have stolen Konoha's resources for your own enrichment and raised Sarutobi's private army. You are no longer qualified to sit in the position of Hokage!"

One impeachment after another, some true and some false, the atmosphere fell into a long silence.

Naruto Uzumaki had his fists clenched, ready to attack Orochimaru, the rogue ninja who had attacked the village, but he froze on the spot when he heard that he was the orphan of the Fourth Hokage.

"His father was the Fourth Hokage?"

"I am not... a fox spirit!"

Naruto Uzumaki raised his head in a daze, his eyes, as pure as a blue lake, revealing a complex emotion as he looked at his Third Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his head in shame and said in a low voice, "I should have told you about this sooner, Naruto."

"Did you already know?"

Faced with Naruto's question, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only remain silent.

Not only Konoha, but the other four great ninja villages also used this method to deal with Jinchuriki, but saying these things now is meaningless.

Naruto Uzumaki didn't say anything more. Clutching the remaining revival coins in his hand, he ran towards his small apartment building without looking back.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened as he retorted, "These are all baseless rumors. Orochimaru, you rogue ninja, how dare you use such a reason to frame the Hokage?"

In any case, these are not things that can make a final decision. Although they could shake the Hokage's authority, they are not enough to...

Clang.

Two large, brown-spotted snakes coiled around two cold corpses, head down, while the Sound Ninja Village headbands slammed against the ground.

"A frame-up? These two ninja corpses have Wood Release cells, which is why the two resurrected Hokage were able to withstand the combined attack of the Three Kage. Sarutobi-sensei, should I have the Anbu investigate?"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and laughed wildly; at this moment, all his plans were completely completed.

"No need. I haven't seen through your schemes. It's too late to say anything now... What exactly do you want!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally understood why the Sound Ninja corpses gave him such a bad feeling.

He was manipulated by Orochimaru from beginning to end, with the aim of completely crushing him.

But what is the purpose of doing this?

"Sarutobi-sensei, stop saying such meaningless things. I have already reported you to the authorities and removed you from your position as the Third Hokage. After you are imprisoned, a thorough investigation will be conducted to uncover the evidence of your crimes against Konoha."

"During this period... I will serve as the acting Hokage!"

Orochimaru spoke without hesitation what he had planned in advance, his eyes fixed warily on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Fearing that his former teacher might become desperate and resort to violence upon hearing that he was to be imprisoned, he decided to take action using his terrifying strength.

"Is that so?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was unusually calm.

For Orochimaru to dare to say such a thing, he must have already colluded with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Normally, when Konoha wasn't attacked, these petty tricks wouldn't be considered respectable. But now, with Konoha riddled with holes, most of its ninja dead or wounded, and Orochimaru's elaborate schemes, he, the Hokage, found himself unknowingly on the opposite side of most people.

The defeat is set.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed. He was imprisoned but still had a chance to turn things around. He had been a Konoha ninja all his life and had no desire to resist. Was the once glorious Third Hokage going to become a rogue ninja?

Wouldn't that be a huge joke?

"Orochimaru, if I find out that you have done anything to harm Konoha, even if it means falling into the abyss, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Orochimaru a deep look before being shackled by the Fire Country Daimyo's troops following behind Orochimaru.

Click.

This sound.

This completely brought the Konoha Crush plan to a close.

The war continues, and despite the loss of nearly 10,000 Konoha ninja at the border strongholds, it still cannot stop the loss of the Land of Fire's territory.

Half a month later, Orochimaru, the acting Hokage, convened a meeting of all ninja clans to make a decision. He changed the position of Hokage to National Advisor and appointed Enshō, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, to personally take charge of the ninja village. The village was renamed Konoha Castle, the capital of the Land of Fire, making it the first military empire in the ninja world where the Daimyo held real power.

The once stable and long-standing Hyuga clan of Konoha split up. Hyuga Neji and the branch families who broke the Caged Bird Seal became the new elites of the empire. A group of Hyuga clan members, led by Hyuga Hiashi, left the Konoha Empire and were wanted by the lord Enshō.

Meanwhile, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, together with a group of civilian ninjas, broke into prison to rescue the former Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been tortured to the point of near death and had lost both legs. After defeating the pursuers, they established the new Konoha in the Land of Hot Water and declared a permanent enemy of the Land of Fire.

The once strongest village in the ninja world has now completely fallen apart!

Chapter 112 Something terrible has happened; are the players going to switch sides at the last minute?

Ninja Beginner Village

An endless, blood-red wasteland, filled with destroyed and dilapidated buildings, and ancient castles built from countless bones.

Each castle is home to the most terrifying creature in the wasteland: vampires.

Clad in black robes embroidered with purple cloud patterns, hundreds of Dawn Organization players continuously unleashed their skills towards a massive castle.

A dazzling ocean of energy continuously crashed against a figure.

His black and red suit was tattered and torn, hanging like rags on his shoulders. Behind him were blood-red wings, tens of meters long, resembling bats. Each flap of these wings could unleash blood magic to block the skills of the players from the Lord of Dawn.

"Imprisonment squad, don't be stingy with recovery potions, don't let your skills drop!"

Wearing paper flowers in her hair, Xiao Nan decisively directed the entire battle, seizing the opportunity to hunt down the source of pollution.

"Understood, for the dawn!"

The confinement class consisted of fifty people, all of whom were level 15 rune mages.

Everyone possesses only four confinement-type skills. This team is heavily trained by the Dawn Organization and is specifically designed to confine sources of pollution.

In addition to the confinement squad, there are also the meat shield squad, the high-resistance squad, and the combat squad.

The two hundred Dawn players all possess skills suitable for team battles. Although their individual combat abilities are relatively weak, when they come together, they can unleash unimaginable power.

"Combat squad, find a way to cut off the vampire baron's wings!"

Xiao Nan's gaze was cold and sharp; the paper wings extending from her back carried her, making her float in mid-air.

Sheets of paper imbued with the aura of talismans were scattered across the entire battlefield as she wielded them.

The talismans that landed on the Dawn players burst forth with a bluish-green light, condensing into an illusory bluish-green bronze armor, increasing their defense.

The talismans that landed on the vampire baron erupted with blazing flames or crackling lightning, causing the vampire baron to let out painful howls.

"The confinement squad, we absolutely cannot let him escape!"

Taking advantage of the chaos in the real ninja world and the opportune moment when the five great ninja villages are at war.

Xiao Nan leads the Dawn Organization in searching for the ultimate source of contamination in the Crimson Wasteland. She is a vampire named [Klar] who belongs to Bloodborne Castle and holds the title of Baron.

Compared to the wanderer of the underworld, Salina, Krall is much more troublesome.

It's not that Klar is stronger, but the vampire baron is as slippery as an eel, possessing a special ability that allows him to teleport to any of the bone-built castles in the Crimson Wasteland for a short time.

Players who hunted down the Ghost Mage have, through their hard work and spending money over this period, upgraded from basic weapons to powerful ones.

As Klare's health drops to a dangerous level, she will activate her teleportation ability and hide in a random castle.

"If we miss this opportunity and the vampire baron escapes, we'll have to resort to the stupidest method: destroying all the ancient castles in the wasteland one by one. The Dawn Organization simply can't do that with its manpower."

After drinking a bottle of energy-restoring potion, Xiao Nan continued to release the power of the talismans.
