Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 142 Joint Chunin Exams (Third and Fourth Updates)

"That's impossible."

Danzo Shimura calmed down and asked with displeasure, "Are you making fun of me?"

What is the strength of Konoha Village, and what is the strength of Otogakure Village?

They're not even in the same league.

"If you kill Tsunade, you will become the Sixth Hokage."

Orochimaru said in an icy tone.

A decapitation strike?

Danzo Shimura instinctively gripped his cane tighter.

This does indeed have a certain success rate.

He and Orochimaru were familiar with the barrier of Konoha Village, and could sneak in unnoticed.

"But Tsunade is not an ordinary medical ninja."

Danzo Shimura frowned and said, "If we can't take her down in a short time, other ninjas will be able to come to our aid in time."

"Of course I know."

Orochimaru chuckled softly and said, "Tsunade suffers from hemophobia."

Hemophobia?

Shimura Danzo suddenly remembered the sunglasses Tsunade wore on the night of Itachi Uchiha's coup.

It turned out to be the case.

She was afraid of blood.

That's ridiculous!

As a medical ninja, he is actually afraid of blood.

No wonder she has been unwilling to return to Konoha and become Hokage all these years.

If she has hemophobia, then winning her over will be very easy.

As Shimura Danzo thought of this, an excited expression appeared on his face.

Could it be that his long-cherished wish is about to come true?

His dream of becoming Naruto!

Why are you helping me?

Shimura Danzo suddenly looked at Orochimaru suspiciously and asked.

If he really had this idea, he wouldn't have waited five years to say it.

Although Shimura Danzo was obsessed with Naruto, he was not stupid.

Especially when facing Orochimaru, one must be extremely cautious.

"I want the Uchiha clan."

Orochimaru chuckled and said.

The Uchiha clan?

Danzo Shimura seemed to be deep in thought.

For the Sharingan?

"I can only give you one-third."

Danzo Shimura shook his head and said.

"..."

Orochimaru said with a grim face, "Without me, you cannot become Hokage."

"It would have been inappropriate for me to wipe out the Uchiha clan so soon after becoming Hokage."

Danzo Shimura's argument is well-founded and supported by evidence.

Orochimaru suddenly laughed.

You've got quite the imagination; you've already taken out a loan to become Hokage.

"All right."

Orochimaru waved his hand and said, "But I want to choose for myself."

"no problem."

Danzo Shimura readily agreed.

"That's settled then."

Orochimaru lost interest in talking.

Since we're all going to take the blame anyway, it doesn't matter what the conditions are.

"etc!"

Danzo Shimura frowned and asked, "What if we fail?"

Although they had grasped Tsunade's weakness, Konoha Village was full of talented people, and the slightest mistake would lead to utter ruin.

In the end, he won't become Hokage, but instead loses his life there.

"It won't fail."

Orochimaru said confidently.

"I can't afford to gamble."

Danzo Shimura said resolutely, "I will not participate unless I am absolutely certain."

"Are you really going to give up the chance to become Hokage?"

Orochimaru's tone carried a hint of threat, "The day I lose interest in the Uchiha clan, I won't help you anymore."

"I will certainly not give up, but the plan must be more meticulous."

Danzo Shimura paused, then asked, "And how can you guarantee that killing Tsunade will make me Hokage?"

He naturally knows best what his reputation is like in Konoha Village.

If Tsunade dies, probably 99% of ninjas will not support him becoming the Sixth Hokage.

Orochimaru was somewhat moved.

Danzo Shimura was once second only to Hiruzen Sarutobi in Konoha.

They act boldly and without regard for the consequences.

He has become so cautious and timid.

They've fallen on hard times.

He simply couldn't answer Danzo Shimura's question.

To be more precise, it's too difficult.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was debating whether or not to abandon Shimura Danzo.

After successfully resurrecting the two Hokage, he can dig them out.

With Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, kidnapping Sasuke Uchiha wouldn't be a problem.

"I have an idea."

Suddenly, Danzo Shimura's eyes lit up, and he said.

"What method?"

Orochimaru glanced at him and asked.

"We will join forces with Sunagakure to attack Konoha."

Danzo Shimura excitedly said, "I'll come to the rescue when it's crucial."

"..."

Orochimaru was starting to lose his composure.

You're ugly but have high aspirations.

His original plan was to make Danzo Shimura take the blame.

Now, the tables have turned, and they've shifted the blame back to the other side.

To make him take the blame, Danzo Shimura should become the hero, reverse public opinion, and become Hokage.

This method does work.

It's at least much more likely than before.

But Orochimaru disagreed.

Even just uniting with Sunagakure is no easy task.

Why would he go to such lengths for Danzo Shimura's vague dream of becoming Hokage?

"I refuse."

Orochimaru shook his head and said.

Danzo Shimura's expression froze, and his enthusiasm was immediately dampened.

He asked, unwilling to accept it, "Why?"

"You don't have that kind of value."

Orochimaru said without any politeness.

"you!"

Danzo Shimura clenched his fists instinctively.

I'm so angry!

But all he could do was get angry.

This is Otogakure (Hidden Sound Village).

Orochimaru's lair.

There are many ninjas.

If he takes action, his fate will most likely be death.

"You may leave."

Orochimaru sneered, dismissing his reaction with disdain.

Danzo Shimura, who could no longer take the blame, had lost his usefulness.

He planned to use two Hokage resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique to carry out his plan in their place.

"etc!"

Suddenly, Shimura Danzo remembered something and said, "I have some information that you'll definitely be interested in."

"intelligence?"

Orochimaru shook his head, not believing it at all. "You lost Root, and you've been in Otogakure for the past five years. Where did you get the information?"

"It's about the Wood Release experiment."

Danzo Shimura took a deep breath and said, "You thought all the test subjects were dead, but that's not the case."

"What did you say?"

Orochimaru was suddenly startled.

His interest in the Sharingan stemmed from the failure of his Wood Release experiment.

Unable to obtain Wood Release, the only option is the second Sharingan.

In Orochimaru's mind, Wood Release is the most powerful bloodline limit.

Because he had read the records of the battle between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

Wood Release left a deep impression on him.

Even the Mangekyou Sharingan, which could instantly kill him, was powerless against Wood Release.

Orochimaru isn't stupid; he naturally knows who to choose.

However, the Wood Release experiment dampened his enthusiasm.

"Someone survived and mastered Wood Release."

"I spoke slowly," Shimura Danzo said.

"You lied to me?"

Orochimaru's face hardened with murderous intent as he asked the question.

For researchers, going from zero to one is of paramount importance.

If Shimura Danzo were to hand over this Wood Release ninja to him, given enough time, he would be confident in making a breakthrough and creating more Wood Release techniques.

That's incredibly short-sighted!

Orochimaru rarely showed signs of anger.

"Wood Release ninjas are of great significance, so I naturally won't hand them over to you."

Danzo Shimura said matter-of-factly.

"So now you..."

Orochimaru suddenly realized something, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Is he in Konoha?"

"Yes."

Danzo Shimura painfully admitted this.

No wonder you're so generous.

Orochimaru licked his lips, a surge of excitement rising within him.

Getting the Sharingan and Wood Release at the same time is double the joy.

It seems I have no choice but to go to Konoha Village.

"Do as I say, and I'll tell you who he is."

Danzo Shimura said confidently, "Konoha has hidden him away; you won't find him."

In fact, he didn't know about Yamato's current situation.

But it doesn't matter, I'll get them first.

Orochimaru frowned slightly.

He doesn't like losing the initiative.

But living Wood Release ninjas are of immense value.

If we transplant Sasuke Uchiha's Sharingan into him, and then let him be our vessel.

Orochimaru was immediately tempted.

Sharingan plus Wood Release, Madara Uchiha plus Hashirama Senju.

He won't have to hide anymore.

"Sunagakure will not cooperate with us."

Orochimaru said in a chilling tone, "Just kill the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, and then take his place."

"As expected of you, Orochimaru."

Danzo Shimura praised it.

A single sentence sealed the fate of the Kazekage.

However, compared to the Hokage, the Kazekage is indeed easier to kill.

The Hokage spends most of his time in Konoha and rarely goes out.

However, Sunagakure was too poor, so the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was forced to become a gold miner to make a living.

He would use his bloodline limit, Magnet Release, to pan for gold in the desert.

If the plan is set up properly, it will be easy to succeed and take him down.

"Now that we've become the Kazekage, there's no need for a direct assault."

Danzo Shimura, on a sudden inspiration, said, "Joint Chunin Exams."

"Can."

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow.

Given Sasuke Uchiha's age and strength, he will most likely participate in the Chunin Exams.

We can make contact with him beforehand and test his skills.

After all, the information in the report is ultimately just a textual description.

……

Konoha Village's First Training Ground.

Naruto Uzumaki is practicing climbing a tree.

He would fall from the tree every now and then, but he didn't care.

Kakashi Hatake nodded in agreement.

Putting everything else aside, Naruto Uzumaki's persistence surpasses that of most ninjas.

No wonder he's his teacher's son.

However, his chakra control is truly terrible.

At crucial moments, it gives him the illusion that someone is sabotaging him.

Kakashi Hatake thought for a moment and then looked at Sasuke Uchiha.

As he formed hand seals, terrifying black shadows appeared among the trees and rocks.

This is the technique of the Mist Servant.

A relatively basic illusion technique, with a learning difficulty level of D.

It only serves to scare people.

Besides this illusion technique, Kakashi Hatake also taught him another one called the "Magic Illusion: Naraku's Appearance Technique".

Its effect is to cause the person under the spell to see their most terrifying image, thereby inflicting a psychological blow.

Seeing that both of them were doing well, Kakashi Hatake took out "Icha Icha Paradise" to read.

After a short while, his breathing became rapid.

Suddenly, he closed "I Love Paradise" again.

Kakashi!

How could you be so depraved?

Kakashi Hatake thought of the difficulty Zabuza Momochi faced in the Land of Waves.

He subconsciously reached out and touched his right eye, the Sharingan that Obito Uchiha had left him.

As a non-Uchiha clan ninja, he was unable to close his Sharingan, which resulted in his chakra being constantly depleted.

But these were his best friend's eyes; he couldn't take them off.

"Is there any way to increase chakra?"

Kakashi Hatake fell into thought.

The capacity of chakra depends on both innate talent and acquired training.

Unfortunately, he was already close to his limit.

Kakashi Hatake sighed.

Just then, he suddenly had a brilliant idea.

If you can't increase your chakra yourself, what about external objects?

His first thought was of Jinchūriki.

Because of the Tailed Beasts, each Jinchuriki possesses an unimaginably vast amount of chakra.

He just couldn't become a Jinchūriki.

There is only one Nine-Tails in Konoha Village, and it is still inside Naruto Uzumaki.

The tailed beast from another village is even less likely.

[Achieve the achievement "We Unite" for Shimura Danzo and receive the reward: One-Jun Power Gu.]

【One-Jin Strength Gu: A third-stage Gu worm, of the strength type, permanently increases the Gu Master's strength by thirty jin.】

Yu Nu Zhihui opened his eyes, somewhat surprised.

Danzo Shimura’s achievements?

What's going on?

Having not seen Shimura Danzo for five years, Aburame Shiki thought he had died somewhere.

I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise today.

The reward is straightforward: add thirty pounds of strength.

His achievements are quite impressive.

What are we uniting against?

Could it be the joint Chunin Exams?

Yu Nuzhihui touched his chin.

If it's a joint Chunin Exam, I believe Konoha will receive a notification soon.

"Kakashi-sensei, what happened?"

Aburame Shiki noticed that Hatake Kakashi was scratching his head.

"It's nothing."

Kakashi Hatake shook his head and asked, "Did I disturb your training?"

"no."

Oil Girl Zhihui said with a smile, "Tell me about it, maybe I can solve it."

"I want to increase my chakra capacity."

Kakashi Hatake hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

What?

Is the price of a single card going up?

This is a big event.

Aburame Shiki coughed lightly and asked, "Kakashi-sensei, how do you plan to increase it?"

"have no idea."

Kakashi Hatake said it very simply.

Yu Nu Zhihui seemed to be deep in thought.

He actually knew of something that could increase chakra capacity.

The Hero's Water of Takigakure Village.

It can increase a ninja's chakra by dozens of times.

But the price is a shortened lifespan.

Oil Girl Zhihui did have a solution.

Because he possesses a ten-year lifespan curse.

But this was prepared for Tsunade, and it's impossible for him to give it to Kakashi Hatake.

"External chakra".

Yu Nu Zhihui had a sudden inspiration and said.

"Did you think of that too?"

Kakashi Hatake paused for a moment, then said, "But apart from the tailed beasts, nothing else can achieve this effect."

Oil Girl Zhihui hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

He thought of the zero-tailed nothingness.

The Dark Tailed Beasts, created by the Hidden Village of the Void, are able to collect the dark side of people's hearts and transform it into dark chakra.

More importantly, it has a Jinchūriki named Amaru.

In other words, it can indeed be considered a tailed beast.

However, You Nuzhihui could not explain the source of the oil.

"Never mind, don't overthink it. Just continue your cultivation."

Kakashi Hatake waved his hand and said.

A week later.

After finishing his weeding task, Zhihui, the oil lady, returned home.

These past few days have been just like my previous life: cultivating in the morning and doing tasks in the afternoon, keeping me extremely busy.

"Zhihui".

When Tsunade saw him, she waved to him.

"What is it?"

Oil Girl Zhihui stepped forward, thinking to herself, "What a pity."

I wasn't wearing a cheongsam today, so I can't appreciate the beauty of her curves.

"Are you going to participate in the Chunin Exams?"

Tsunade crossed her arms and asked.

Two chapters combined. That's it for this month's updates. I checked, and I've updated 270,000 words in 31 days—pretty diligent. PS: Guys, this is the last day of the month, monthly tickets expire tomorrow.
