Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 209 We wanted to make him our tool, but in the end we all became his tool.

Tobirama Senju moved very quickly!

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat puzzled and taken aback!

"The Second Hokage?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, still somewhat puzzled, looked at Tobirama Senju charging towards him, frowning as he asked, "Clean me up? What's going on? Is Orochimaru controlling you?"

"no."

Tobirama Senju kicked Hiruzen Sarutobi and coldly replied, "We already know what you've done. I can ignore the Uchiha's affairs..."

"Tobirama, we can't ignore the Uchiha's situation either!"

Hashirama Senju hastily interrupted Tobirama Senju and rushed towards Hiruzen Sarutobi, punching Hiruzen Sarutobi in the arm and forcefully knocking him back!

"Monkey, you've been Hokage for far too long..."

Tobirama Senju quickly resumed his attack, kicking Hiruzen Sarutobi in the shoulder and sending him flying again: "Have you been blinded by power?"

"We have only one goal..."

Hashirama Senju stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said helplessly, "To prevent that brat Kagura Akihara from being forced to become a rogue ninja, I have no choice but to deal with you here. That brat might be even stronger than me. Have you thought about the consequences if he becomes a rogue ninja?"

"!!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart tightened, and he abruptly looked at Orochimaru, who was sneering: "Orochimaru, what's going on here?"

That bastard…

What exactly did they say to the two previous Hokage?

The most troublesome thing is, why did they bring up Akihara Kagura's defection?

"I didn't say anything..."

Orochimaru watched with a smug smile as his teacher was besieged by the two Hokage resurrected through Edo Tensei, seemingly quite pleased with himself: "This wasn't even my idea; it was the two Hokage who decided to eliminate you, teacher!"

"after all…"

"You've made too many mistakes..."

Orochimaru grinned and immediately presented compelling evidence: "Didn't you just say you wouldn't hand over the Hokage position to Akihara Kagura?"

"Kagura is too young."

Hiruzen Sarutobi retorted coldly, continuing, "If he were to become Hokage, Konoha would definitely descend into chaos, and perhaps even war would break out..."

Orochimaru, relying on his advantage, suddenly laughed: "So, Konoha will only be peaceful when you hold power?"

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that he had fallen into a trap of language.

Because he couldn't hand over the Hokage position to Akihara Kagura and continued to serve as Hokage, Orochimaru saw him as someone who truly clung to power!

that power…

It's about power again.

Danzo Shimura used his love of power to attack him, and Orochimaru also used this power to attack him. Today, this matter has become an insurmountable hurdle!

The problem is...

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even have an excuse to refute it.

Because he had held the position of Hokage for too long and was unwilling to pass it on to a suitable candidate, he was, in effect, seen as someone with an excessive desire for power.

This kind of thing...

It's not something that can be explained in just a few words!

Moreover, even if it takes a long time, it is difficult to explain clearly!

Many Konoha ninjas witnessed the Four Purple Flame Formation, and quite a few even gathered around, trying to rescue the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

These people also overheard Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi's conversation.

Compared to Shimura Danzo's limited eloquence, Orochimaru was extremely skilled in interpersonal communication, quickly grasping Hiruzen Sarutobi's sore spot and making no attempt to change the subject.

Other things are too easy to slip up!

There is substantial evidence to support the claim that Hiruzen Sarutobi has consistently held onto the power of the Hokage and refuses to relinquish it. This is undeniable. In fact, he just said that the strongest Hokage, Kagura Akihara, is not suitable to become Hokage, thus setting a trap for himself that he cannot escape!

"I knew it..."

A look of disappointment crossed Tobirama Senju's face.

"The Hokage doesn't bear the burden of power..."

Hashirama Senju frowned and charged at Hiruzen Sarutobi once more!

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi hastily formed hand seals and spat out fireballs!

However, Hashirama Senju didn't care at all. He smashed the fireball with his bare hands and rushed straight to Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Orochimaru watched as Hiruzen Sarutobi struggled to hold on amidst the attacks of the two Hokage, his smile deepening: "Sensei, don't blame the two Hokage for their determination to kill you. Everyone considered using that little brat, Kagura Akihara, as a tool, but your methods were more mature and cunning. You used your Hokage authority to bring that child, Kagura Akihara, to your side..."

"I am not!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi hastily retorted, only to be punched in the face by Hashirama Senju. Yet, he stubbornly continued his counterattack: "I have never used Kagura as a tool, but rather to ensure that he inherits the Will of Fire..."

"Isn't this just your usual excuse for luring people into becoming tools?"

Orochimaru chuckled, then continued, avoiding the main point: "Always under the guise of acting for Konoha, any ninja who disobeys your will or orders will be considered disloyal to Konoha, until everyone is forced to act according to your wishes..."

"Ask yourself honestly..."

"Isn't that just the truth?"

Orochimaru knew Hiruzen Sarutobi well and directly pierced through his defenses: "Sensei, what's the difference between you and Danzo's actions for Konoha?"

"A hypocritical Hokage who likes to use righteousness to coerce others will accuse anyone who goes against his will of endangering Konoha..."

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a slight pain in his head.

This battle was already extremely difficult, and Orochimaru, his former disciple, was verbally harassing and humiliating him from the sidelines!

Orochimaru's face grew increasingly smug: "You want to mold everyone into whatever you want them to be, yet you have no idea whether you're right or wrong..."

Orochimaru!

Hiruzen Sarutobi leaped back, staring intently at his disciple: "Your survival is the greatest mistake I've ever made. I shouldn't have been so merciful and spared your life! I should have killed you while I still had the strength to kill you when you colluded with Danzo to harm our comrades in the village!"

"..."

The two Hokage's attacks suddenly stopped!

Tobirama Senju abruptly turned to look at Orochimaru, then at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Danzo and Orochimaru... plotted to murder their comrades?"

This matter…

How come I've never heard of that!

Wasn't Shimura Danzo like a pure white lotus flower?

Why does it seem like there are things he doesn't know? Could it be that Shimura Danzo is also a villain? Didn't Shimura Danzo say that he was always trying to correct Hiruzen Sarutobi's mistakes?

"Both Hokage, you've been deceived by him and Danzo!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was somewhat gloomy as he continued in a deep voice, "Danzo and Orochimaru were conducting illegal human experiments, harming innocent people. After I discovered this, they chose to defect. Danzo even tried to kill his comrade Mitokado Homura during his defection!"

"..."

Tobirama Senju's eyes narrowed slightly.

"What exactly is going on?"

Hashirama Senju frowned, somewhat surprised, and said, "Danzo told us that you annihilated the Uchiha clan and conducted unauthorized human experiments..."

"Big brother!"

Tobirama Senju quickly stopped Hashirama Senju.

Some things can be said, and some things cannot be said.

If this were to be said, it would cause the political environment in Konoha to deteriorate rapidly.

Tobirama Senju's original goal was to eliminate Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage who had gone astray, but he never expected there to be such an unexpected hidden story behind it.

"I stopped all human experimentation a long time ago!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, being Tobirama Senju's disciple and having ruled for so many years, quickly understood the Second Hokage's attempts to conceal the truth. He stated the facts directly: "Only Danzo and Orochimaru were secretly conducting human experiments. I was too lenient and didn't kill them back then, which led to what happened today..."

"Go and send someone to bring Danzo back..."

Tobirama Senju frowned and gave a deep order.

"This is such a hassle..."

Orochimaru sighed and held up his finger: "I knew this method was unreliable. Even the slightest flaw would cause trouble, and there are just too many flaws. How could it possibly fool the intelligent Second Hokage?"

next moment!

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju simultaneously retreated to Orochimaru's side!

Orochimaru!

Tobirama Senju coldly questioned Orochimaru: "What exactly happened between you and Danzo! What have you both done?!"

"It's better to make you lose your minds..."

Orochimaru conjured two spells that extinguished will in his hand, then shoved them into the back of their heads, chuckling as he said, "Can't you just obediently help me kill my teacher?"

"you!"

Tobirama Senju realized that he might have been deceived by Danzo!

"You lied to me again!"

Hashirama Senju didn't quite understand the situation, but he knew he had been tricked!

However, their anger was of no use. They could only watch as Orochimaru stuffed the incantation into the back of their heads, completely extinguishing their will. Their expressions gradually calmed down, and they completely lost their minds.

"Orochimaru! What did you do to them?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glared angrily at Orochimaru!

"Don't worry, teacher."

Orochimaru looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, his eyes slowly narrowing: "I just wanted to show you the results of my training outside. These are incantations to extinguish the will of those reanimated by the Impure World Reincarnation, making it easier to control their bodies..."

"With your crippled body, I could have killed you easily long ago..."

Orochimaru resumed control of the two Hokage in battle, chuckling as he continued, "Defeating Danzo just now must have taken a lot of your chakra..."

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart sank.

What Orochimaru said is indeed true.

Danzo Shimura, that old friend, is not so easy to deal with. I also consumed a lot of stamina and chakra in that battle. It would be even more difficult to deal with Orochimaru, let alone facing two Hokage who were resurrected by Edo Tensei.

however…

However, he himself had to deal with Orochimaru and the two Hokage he controlled.

Since Akihara Kagura couldn't deal with the two Hokage and Orochimaru back then, it means that dealing with Orochimaru won't be an easy task for her either. Besides, she might even be deceived and manipulated by Shimura Danzo...

but…

It should be fine.

As long as he sacrifices himself here for Konoha, all the so-called crimes of coveting power will be put to rest. After Jiraiya succeeds as Hokage, there is still hope for everything to be salvaged.

"It's time..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed inwardly, recalling the methods he had considered for completely eliminating Orochimaru and the Edo Tensei users, and slowly began to form hand seals!

"Ninja Art: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Two shadow clones appeared beside Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's chakra was already insufficient; his main body and two shadow clones were the maximum he could muster, but that was enough!

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the two Hokage charging forward again, and also saw Orochimaru standing in the distance. He then looked up at the Four Purple Flame Formation and once again formed hand seals...

"This time..."

"I'll let you die here!"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi formed hand seals, his expression suddenly turned serious: "I am the man who inherited the will of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage. Don't underestimate your teacher, Orochimaru!"

"Sealing Technique: Corpse Demon Sealing!"

A hideous phantom of a death god suddenly appeared behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, and his two shadow clones rushed out and grabbed the First Hokage and the Second Hokage!

The hideous phantom of the Grim Reaper behind him, with a short knife in its mouth, suddenly stretched out its claws and devoured the souls of the First and Second Hokage into its body!

"That technique that once sealed the Nine-Tails..."

Orochimaru immediately remembered the technique and tried to retreat quickly to avoid it, but the Four Purple Flames Formation sealed off his movement!

Even if the Four Purple Flame Formation is broken in time, this opening is enough for Hiruzen Sarutobi to catch him!

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, swiftly grabbed Orochimaru's shoulder, completely disregarding his own death: "This technique will sacrifice my soul as well, but it will seal away all dangers that threaten Konoha..."

A death claw has already reached for Orochimaru's soul!

Orochimaru sensed the loss of his soul, gritted his teeth, glared at his teacher, and tried his best to think of a way to delay!

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips: "Sensei, you don't actually think killing me will end this, do you? Why don't you guess who the real mastermind behind this Konoha Crush plan is? Danzo and I are just pawns in that person's game..."

"What?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was immediately drawn to his words!

Could there be someone hiding behind Orochimaru? Who is doing all this in the dark? Is it that guy named Uchiha Obito?

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately thought of a name.

However, before Hiruzen Sarutobi could ask any questions, Orochimaru suddenly extended a long snake from his arm. The snake quickly circled behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, opened its mouth and spat out a sharp sword, piercing Hiruzen Sarutobi's body!

"you!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils became somewhat unfocused.

The old man realized once again that he had been tricked by Orochimaru. Orochimaru was deliberately trying to distract him so that he could kill him before the Reaper Death Seal ended!

Consciousness rapidly faded...

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew his life was about to end, and he desperately tried to seal Orochimaru into the Shinigami's body, but he simply had no strength left...

The only thing I can do...

It means sealing away a part of the soul.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes drooped slightly as he clung to his last breath: "Then I will strip you of your hands, rendering you unable to use ninjutsu again!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

Hiruzen Sarutobi captured a portion of Orochimaru's soul and swallowed it into the Shinigami's body!

"You old bastard!"

Orochimaru immediately felt something strange in his arms, as if they were being burned by flames, and even the skin on his arms turned bluish-purple, leaving him with no strength at all!

Just as Orochimaru was about to fall to the ground, he suddenly pressed against Hiruzen Sarutobi's shoulder, leaned close to him, and, in a fit of rage, whispered something in his ear that would make Hiruzen die with his eyes wide open in disbelief!

"Teacher, I wasn't lying to you just now..."

"Indeed, someone orchestrated this Konoha Crush plan from behind the scenes. It's someone you would never expect; we all wanted to use him as a tool..."

"but…"

"Now they've all become his tools."

Second update!

There will be more tonight!

Someone asked about the Reaper Death Seal last time…

I remember in one chapter it was mentioned that Akihara Kagura first went to the Uzumaki clan's Namendou and took a mask, seamlessly connecting the dots...
