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

In the sacred site of Mount Myoboku.

Fang Huo, along with the Sage of Six Paths and the Great Toad Sage, watched this farce about power and humanity unfold in Konoha.

The master and disciple turned against each other, and there was concealment and deception between them.

"I heard that three great wars have occurred in your ninja world, and neither of you participated?"

"Or do you also believe that war is indeed the best breeding ground for strong individuals?"

"Many forbidden techniques in the ninja world seem to have been developed for war and battle."

Fang Huo glanced indifferently at the Sage of Six Paths; this old fellow had collected many powerful souls within the Pure Land.

It's hard to say that the wars between ninja clans and ninja villages that have raged in the ninja world for a thousand years were not the result of the Sage of Six Paths deliberately letting things go.

He made the reincarnated souls of his two sons fight each other in order to find a balance for peaceful coexistence.

He may genuinely be searching for a path to peaceful development in the ninja world.

Or perhaps it's a hope that more geniuses will emerge in the ninja world.

That way he could collect more souls to deal with the extraterrestrial enemies. But instead of the Otsutsuki clan descending, it was Fang Huo and other people from another world who came.

"I am just a broken soul, and I can no longer concern myself with the affairs of the ninja world."

The Sage of Six Paths spoke earnestly, without revealing too much information or strength about himself.

Unlike Fang Huo and those children, he didn't easily reveal all his information.

Of course, this might be because Fang Huo and his team are very confident in their abilities.

That's why they revealed information so casually.

"We ninja beasts rarely interfere in human wars."

The Great Toad Immortal spoke slowly, without responding to Fang Huo's topic.

However, it did manage to eliminate some menaces under the guise of finding a savior, through powerful individuals like Jiraiya who had mastered the Toad Sage Technique.

Or guide some potential talents to become the 'inheritors' and 'henchmen' of the sacred Mount Myoboku.

Fang Huo merely gave the soul and the toad a meaningful look.

Do you think I believe you? ...

At this moment, on the battlefield outside Konoha Village.

"Danzo did it all?"

Tobirama Senju's tone was full of doubt, and even Hashirama Senju was somewhat skeptical.

"Hey, don't any of you have brains?"

"Orochimaru, can't you summon the dead?"

"Why don't we just summon that Danzo guy like we summoned those two zombies and ask him a question?"

Shanks wanted to watch the show, but the natives were really slow to understand and their efficiency was too low.

He wants to see a fight, he wants to see plot twists and turns, he wants to see bloodshed!

"..."

Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru were thoroughly berated by Shanks.

These two, who were known as the most brilliant ninja strategists, actually didn't think of this for a moment. "That's right, hurry up, Orochimaru, resurrect Danzo and the others using Edo Tensei."

"Although this technique violates the way of the ninja and disturbs the soul of the deceased, you are allowed to use it one more time in order to find out the truth."

Hashirama Senju immediately looked at Orochimaru. In order to find out the truth about his granddaughter and grandson, he lowered his moral standards a little.

"Also, aren't those ninjas able to directly manipulate minds?"

"Those ninjutsu techniques should be able to peek into a person's memories, right?"

"Why not just let that guy spy on this old man's memories?"

Ryoma also spoke slowly, still remembering the small loss he suffered from being ambushed by the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

"..."

Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru fell silent again. The Yamanaka clan indeed possessed the best ninjutsu for extracting memories.

Konoha's intelligence interrogation team has a complete set of procedures.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi is still the Third Hokage.

Are they going to openly interrogate a Hokage? Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened completely.

Why are all these divine children so dark-skinned?

One wanted to bring out Danzo, resurrected through Edo Tensei, for a confrontation; the other even wanted to directly interrogate him about his memories.

He served as the Third Hokage for so many years, when had he ever suffered such injustice?

"Let's resurrect Danzo, Enma, and Koharu using the Impure World Reincarnation technique first."

Tobirama Senju took a deep breath and spoke to Orochimaru.

He did not want to treat the village's shadows in a manner akin to execution unless absolutely necessary.

After all, the Hokage is the face of Konoha Village.

If it were the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi's memories would reveal an even bigger dark secret.

That would be the end of us!

If we can resurrect Danzo using the Impure World Reincarnation technique and uncover part of the truth, we can then kill Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Some dark secrets, let them disappear along with Hiruzen Sarutobi. "Heh heh, sure!"

Orochimaru jumped to Danzo's headless and armless corpse and collected some of Danzo's tissue.

As for Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, he collected some of them as he finished them off.

"The Impure World Reincarnation technique requires a living sacrifice!"

"The stronger the human sacrifice, the more power the person resurrected through impure world can unleash."

Orochimaru glanced back at the crowd, wanting to ask what kind of offering should be used.

Now there are unconscious civilians and ninjas from Mogaoka everywhere. Which offerings should we choose?

"Let's use the Root ninjas!"

Tobirama Senju did not want to use Konoha's civilians and ordinary ninjas.

He has already learned some information.

The war was sparked by the Root ninja's surprise attack on these divine children.

"Then let's use these Root ninjas as sacrifices." Actually, he also wanted to use these Sarutobi clan ninjas.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it, since Hiruzen Sarutobi is only a criminal suspect now and has not been formally convicted.

"OK!!"

Orochimaru summoned some giant snakes and coiled up several Root ninjas who hadn't died.

As he shouted "Impure World Reincarnation Technique," he slammed his hands on the ground, and black rune arrays appeared one after another.

These unconscious Root ninjas transformed into Danzo and his two companions amidst screams.

Danzo's black eyes snapped open.

He was just about to launch a sneak attack on Kamui, so how did he end up here now?

No, he seems to be dead!

"No! Why! Who killed me?!"

"Don't let me find out who this bastard is, or I swear I'll kill him!!"

Until the very moment of his death, Danzo had no idea who had instantly killed him. "Bang!!"

The next moment, Danzo, who was still shouting, had his head smashed by Kamui's slap.

In fact, Kamui had long suspected that the person who killed Danzo was their father, Fang Huo.

This insignificant old man dares to insult their father; he's really testing their limits.

Orochimaru watched as Danzo's head turned into countless pieces of paper, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Is that really the case?

The person who killed Danzo was either the Great God or that unknown deity.

"Wow, these zombies even have the effect of natural elemental transformation."

Shanks' eyes lit up as he watched Danzo's head slowly recover, his right hand already wrapped in jet-black Armament Haki.

I plan to experiment and see if I can kill these resurrected zombies with Armament Haki.

However, before Shanks could even make a move against Danzo, Katakuri, who also had a strong sense of curiosity, had already used his black Earth Dragon Trident to slice off both of Mitokado Homura's arms.

To his disappointment, the arm he severed with Armament Haki still turned into paper scraps and slowly regenerated. Could it be that these reanimated zombies are truly impossible to kill?
