Pirate: I'm cracked, but my mutation talent is incredibly strong.

"Shut up!!"

"You win!!"

Chiyo controlled one of the puppets and threw Uchiha Sasuke to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru grabbed Uchiha Sasuke with one hand.

"Kid! Do you want to become stronger?"

"I know where Itachi Uchiha is hiding."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and smiled at the Uchiha brat.

With Kabuto Yakushi acting as a double agent, his understanding of Sasuke Uchiha is probably even deeper than that of Itachi Uchiha.

After being instantly defeated by Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan in the Akatsuki organization, he desperately wanted to obtain a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.

Uchiha Itachi's younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, has exceptional talent and a high probability of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan.

This is one of the containers he most desires.

Kaguya Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku bloodline limit is equally powerful, but unfortunately, the blood disease of this clan is incurable.

"I want to! As long as I become stronger and defeat Uchiha Itachi, I'll do anything you ask!"

Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He knew that even if he refused, he couldn't escape, so he might as well go along with these powerful monsters.

In particular, Naruto and Might Guy's outbursts have already spurred him on.

Sasuke Uchiha never expected that the taijutsu ninjas and losers he looked down on were actually so powerful.

It turns out he was the one who was narrow-minded and ignorant.

He was not convinced! He was unwilling to accept it!

Even knowing that Orochimaru harbored ill intentions towards him, he was still determined to embark on this path to become stronger.

"Great! I like smart people like you."

Orochimaru gently put Sasuke down and untied the chakra threads that Chiyo had used to bind Sasuke.

Orochimaru was actually sensing these strong chakra threads.

These chakra threads are clearly very useful, but the puppeteers of Sunagakure used them as threads to control their puppets.

It seems I'll have to study these chakra lines sometime.

Wouldn't it be even more effective to use this directly for surprise attacks and cutting?

Those puppeteers in Sunagakure are still not clever enough.

Sasuke Uchiha immediately removed his headband, took out a kunai, and drew a slash on it to show his determination.

"No! Sasuke!!"

"Why! Why did you have to do this..."

When Sakura saw Sasuke become a rogue ninja, her heart was filled with despair, and her eyes were filled with tears and fear.

"This place is too weak!"

"It won't help me get revenge at all!"

Sasuke Uchiha gave the annoying Sakura a cold look; he wanted to become a powerful figure like those divine children.

the other side.

When Hiashi Hyuga saw his daughter Hinata Hyuga being captured by Chiyo, his Byakugan eyes were filled with anger and anxiety.

However, Gaara in his tailed beast form was exceptionally terrifying, and even with a group of Jonin working together, they were somewhat overwhelmed.

Most importantly, the three races of pig, deer, and butterfly are actually retreating to preserve their strength.

They were still rushing towards Chiyo to save their children.

Shanks and Gaara are left to the Sarutobi and Hyuga clans to handle.

The astute Nara Shikaku knew that the landscape of Konoha was about to undergo a major transformation.

It's not worth risking your life now; it's better to prioritize saving your children and preserving your family's strength.

The other two clans have always stood with the Nara clan, trusting Nara Shikaku's judgment implicitly.

After the three races of pig, deer, and butterfly withdrew.

The powerful members of the Aburame and Inuzuka clans also realized that they didn't want to keep helping Sarutobi hold off Shanks, nor did they want to help the Hyuga clan hold off the powerful One-Tailed Shukaku.

And just like that, the entire situation on the Konoha battlefield collapsed instantly.

These powerful ninja clans strategically retreated, preserving their strength.

Only the commoner Jonin and Anbu are still fighting alongside the Sarutobi clan.

"Hahaha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, do you see how much the major ninja clans of Konoha despise you?"

"The Fourth Hokage and his wife died fighting for Konoha, yet you seized their property."

"You wiped out the Uchiha clan, the strongest clan in Konoha, and all their wealth ended up in your pockets, right?"

"Otherwise, how could your Sarutobi clan possibly support hundreds or even thousands of ninjas!"

When Orochimaru saw the ninja clans who were protecting themselves, he didn't laugh at them; instead, he thought they were doing the right thing.

His goal was never to destroy Konoha.

After all, this is his hometown, the hometown of Tsunade and Jiraiya.

What he wanted was to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane—those old power-hungry villains.

Konoha still needs the support of these ninjas.

Otherwise, after this battle, the Hidden Cloud Village, Hidden Stone Village, and Hidden Sand Village will take action!

"Jiraiya, you'd better stop and preserve Konoha's strength, just like these ninja clans."

"When Hiruzen Sarutobi dies, you can become the Fifth Hokage yourself, or you can find Tsunade to become the Fifth Hokage."

"There is still hope for Konoha!"

After mocking Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya, who was fighting against Ryuma, the second prince.

He didn't want this "partner" to be killed.

Orochimaru knew that Konoha's hope lay in Jiraiya and Tsunade.

As for him, there's no going back!

After Orochimaru's shout, the civilian Jonin and Anbu who were fighting alongside the Sarutobi clan began to hesitate.

Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin and a former candidate for Hokage.

His words still carry considerable weight.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio, in particular, who made a strategic retreat, deeply agreed, as they were preserving their strength for the sake of Konoha.

Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi created the trouble themselves, and they had to deal with it themselves.

Danzo offended these ancient divine children, and the Third Hokage deeply hurt Orochimaru, his disciple...

These enemies have nothing to do with the ninja clan.

If Jiraiya or Tsunade were to become the Fifth Hokage, they would still be very willing to fight for Konoha.

"You wicked disciple! You wretched child!!"

Enraged, Hiruzen Sarutobi was repeatedly caught off guard by Katakuri, who beat him until he coughed up blood.

Even the spirit beast monkey was severely injured while trying to save Hiruzen Sarutobi, and was forced to dispel its summoning.

This made Hiruzen Sarutobi's situation even more difficult.

"Let the First Hokage and the Second Hokage see for themselves how you've governed Konoha!"

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

Orochimaru grinned, slapped the ground, and summoned two coffins.

The coffin was opened, revealing a figure wearing red armor and another wearing blue armor.

The appearance of these two familiar figures caused Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes to widen instantly.

"You wicked disciple! How dare you lay a hand on the remains of the First and Second Generations!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious. If he had known it would turn out like this, he shouldn't have been soft-hearted and let Orochimaru defect and escape.

"Ha, under your rule, the two great clans that founded Konoha, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, are each left with only one or two survivors."

"On the contrary, your Sarutobi clan has expanded dozens of times over. You guys are truly amazing!"

Orochimaru smiled sinisterly and placed control talismans on the First and Second Hokage to prevent them from losing control.

However, Orochimaru still allowed the First and Second Hokage to retain their own consciousness.

"What's going on? Wasn't I dead?"

"The Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

"It's that forbidden technique you researched! Tobirama, I told you not to research these forbidden techniques! This kind of forbidden technique that disturbs the dead is too evil!"

"Shut up, bro! This isn't the time to talk about this!"

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, started arguing as soon as they stepped out of their coffins.

The astute Tobirama, observing the chaotic battlefield, turned unusually grim...
