Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 543 Raikage's Envy

"Hehe, I wonder if you guys will like this surprise!"

In the dark cave, Dou let out a series of sinister laughs, extremely pleased with himself.

The only regret is that he has no one to share this pride with but himself.

"Although we lost Hanzo the Salamander, we still have enough pieces left!"

Speaking of Hanzo the Salamander, Kabuto's gaze unconsciously swept over the figure beside him, his eyes flickering as if he were somewhat hesitant.

Beside him lay two unconscious figures: Sasuke, whom he had captured with great effort, and Anko, who was naturally slender and graceful.

"Whose hidden mechanism should we use to revive Lord Orochimaru?"

Kabuto's gaze swept over the necks of the two men, and he was momentarily at a loss, unsure whether he should revive Orochimaru.

"And, are we really going to revive Lord Orochimaru now?"

Having absorbed all of Orochimaru's remaining chakra into his own body, wouldn't it be inappropriate to revive him now?

"Let's talk about it after this is all over!"

Kabuto's gaze finally fell on Sasuke. He decided to use the Heavenly Curse Seal on Sasuke to revive Orochimaru.

In this way, Lord Orochimaru can easily obtain Sasuke's body, and his own problem will no longer be an issue.

Unbeknownst to him, while he was still debating when and how to revive Orochimaru, a handsome man with an icy expression was following behind Hanzo of the Salamander, approaching his location.

From God's perspective, it won't be long before the other party comes to him, and then he'll be in big trouble.

On the other side, hidden in the shadows, watching Kabuto's every move, Black Zetsu's expression was extremely ugly.

"This guy didn't summon Madara!"

"Is there another plan, or are they using Madara as a trump card, intending to summon him at the last minute?"

Through the White Zetsu, he learned that Madara was not among the reanimated army summoned by Kabuto, which made him anxious.

Obito had always been reserved towards Madara. He went to great lengths to ensure Madara's successful resurrection while staying out of Obito's sight.

"As long as this guy successfully summons Madara, he can immediately control Nagato and make him use the Rinne Rebirth Technique."

"With Madara's involvement, the Eye of the Moon Project will be able to come to a perfect end, just as I have written in the script."

He went to great lengths to make the discovery of Madara's body seem less abrupt, so that Kabuto, who was engrossed in "archaeology," wouldn't become suspicious.

As for why he doesn't control a puppet himself and summon Madara personally, it's due to his personality of manipulating everything from behind the scenes for so many years.

His long period of remaining behind the scenes made him unconsciously resist revealing his presence.

……

"Hokage-sama, Raikage-sama, something's happened!"

In the Allied Command Post, Qing raised his hands high, maintaining a sensory water sphere floating in the air in front of him.

"A large source of high-quality chakra has been sensed, right across from the Allied Shinobi Forces!"

Because she was so excited, Qing's voice became distorted, hoarse and shrill, like a girl passing through an alley being suddenly blocked by a burly man who had been picking his toes.

Not only Qing, but also Yamanaka Inoichi, who was in charge of communications for the Allied Forces, underwent a dramatic change in expression at this moment.

"The Allied Forces have sent word that a large number of deceased powerful individuals have appeared among the enemy, and they are requesting support from the Sealing Squad."

"As expected, the thing I least wanted to happen still happened!"

Upon hearing the reports from Ao and Inoichi, Shikaku looked at his Hokage with a helpless expression.

What I said really came true; he's such a jinx.

Of course, he couldn't say such things aloud; he still had to serve under the Hokage, so he wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

"Hmph, it's all Konoha's fault!"

Shikaku had his reservations, but the Raikage did not.

Even though they couldn't beat their opponent, they didn't hesitate to complain a bit.

"Uh, this has nothing to do with me, it's the Second Hokage's fault!"

Rolling his eyes, Toshiro effortlessly shifted the blame onto the Second Hokage.

"If he hadn't developed the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation, this wouldn't have happened."

He chuckled.

The Raikage completely dismissed Toshiro's explanation. Whether it was the Second Hokage or the Fifth Hokage, weren't they both from Konoha?

No matter how much the Uchiha and Senju don't get along, aren't you still comrades of Konoha?

"that…"

Just as the Raikage was about to say something, Inoichi weakly interjected.

"The Second Hokage is under the control of the other side."

After carefully glancing at Toshiro, Inoichi felt it was necessary to inform the Fifth Generation Lord, who was known for his arrogance and lack of connections.

"Tsk!"

"Jiraiya is too weak. He actually let Kabuto successfully retrieve the Second and Third Hokage."

Smacking his lips, Toshiro seized the opportunity to change the subject.

"Mabui, and Shikaku, are the sealing talismans you were asked to prepare ready?"

"Also, are Jiraiya and Kushina there?"

"And Karin, that little girl, she should be able to use the Adamantine Lockdown now, let her go and provide reinforcements as well."

The talismans should be almost ready, and it's time to put them to use. Also, there's Jiraiya and Kushina; one is exceptionally strong, so he'll fill in.

Kushina, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and a member of the Uzumaki clan, has a certain degree of resistance to the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu.

As for Karin, this little girl, with the education and guidance of Kushina, a genuine member of the Uzumaki clan, not only has Kagura's Mind's Eye awakened, but even the Adamantine Sealing Technique has been awakened.

This is also a good opportunity to train this little girl, so she won't be clinging to Bai all day long and not know how to do anything important.

"Konoha is truly teeming with talent!"

Listening to the Hokage's arrangements, the Raikage's words revealed a hint of envy.

Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kushina, Naruto, Itachi of the Uchiha clan, and Toshiro himself—Konoha has six known Kage-level shinobi.

Add to that Kakashi Hatake, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Wood Release ninjas, and a whole host of other elite Jonin in their prime, and it's truly enviable.

Naruto, as the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, has not achieved many feats, but his strength has been recognized by everyone. There's also Itachi, who hasn't made many moves in the past two years.

Each move he made was silent and unassuming, revealing no obvious strength. But the more he did this, the more attention this member of the current Hokage's clan received from the major powers.

This doesn't even include Fugaku and Guy; one is unassuming and the other is truly bizarre. If their strength were revealed, the Raikage would probably go insane with jealousy.

Now it's another member of the Vortex Clan who knows the Diamond Sealing Technique.
