Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 116 The Battle for the Corpse Yields a Great Success (Please Subscribe!)

The morgue was filled with a smell of decay mixed with medicine.

Outside the door, in the shadows, countless Konoha ninjas hid in the shadows.

The Root organization's hall, resembling a tower at the bottom of a well, was patrolled by countless teams of ninjas.

The Konoha ninja held their breath and concentrated.

The village of ninja was attacked.

The enemy is either targeting the "Tailed Beasts" or the "Root Organization Base".

Konoha is beset by internal and external troubles, and the level of the Impure World Reincarnation project has been raised to the same level as the Jinchuriki who are being protected.

hiss--

The air in the hall suddenly turned icy cold, and the faint crawling and hissing of countless venomous snakes could be heard.

"There's a problem!"

A commander of the secret service suddenly stopped his men.

The surrounding patrol teams suddenly lowered their heads.

hiss--

In an instant.

After swiftly moving across the ground, countless venomous snakes launched themselves at the patrolling ninja team.

"Enemy attack—"

The dark squad leader's pupils shrank beneath his mask. He immediately roared and drew his ninja sword to slash at the snakes in front of him, then quickly teleported away.

The organization's base is in complete disarray.

The wooden beams of the tall tower.

Poisonous snakes scattered.

With an overwhelming number of snakes, and their unexpected attacks, this dark, root-organized base seemed to have become their main battlefield.

These snakes have all been genetically modified, and their venom is far more potent than that of wild venomous snakes.

Until the last Konoha ninja, his body riddled with holes from poisonous fangs, collapsed to the ground.

In the shadows, Orochimaru wore a sinister smile, his golden vertical pupils flashing with an evil light, as he slowly entered the morgue.

He was dressed in a black robe and wore a black hood, his pale face, painted with purple vertical eyeshadow, hidden in the shadows.

Poisonous snakes cleared a path for him wherever he went.

He is the king among the snakes.

When Orochimaru arrived in front of the coffin, he stopped and opened the coffin lids one by one.

bang——

The heavy wooden coffin lid fell to the ground, stirring up fine dust, and a lingering, ancient scent of time filled the air.

The first coffin contained the body of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, whose body had been modified using a secret technique and remained well-preserved.

Hashirama had a heroic face and wore the beige linen clothing of the Senju clan, making him appear as if he were just a middle-aged man sleeping peacefully.

Orochimaru then inspected the second and third coffins, and as expected, they contained the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

"It really does look like it!"

Orochimaru noticed something amiss, a slight smirk playing on his lips. He formed hand seals, preparing to unleash a summoning jutsu.

now.

A flurry of footsteps sounded outside the door, and a large number of Konoha ninjas swarmed in.

Leading the group were none other than two high-ranking officials of Konoha, the two advisors to the Hokage: Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

As for the poisonous snakes outside, they have already been eliminated by this group of elite Konoha ninjas.

"Who was invading Konoha? It's that monkey's traitor!" Koharu Utatane squinted, her aged face trembling slightly, and raised her hand to issue the order to kill.

She did not actually leave the base.

What they were waiting for was for the intruders to be caught.

"drink--"

Several Konoha ninja from the Hyuga clan's branch family activated their Byakugan, clenched their fists, stomped their feet on the ground, and moved with the speed of the wind towards Orochimaru's back.

The remaining Konoha ninjas displayed excellent teamwork, unleashing long-range ninjutsu attacks to cover for their own ninjas.

"Hiss~"

Orochimaru sneered, hissing as he continued forming hand seals, "Summoning Jutsu!"

But there was no movement inside the morgue.

Orochimaru crouched down to dodge the incoming heavy punch, his lower body transforming into a nimble snake.

He circled swiftly on the ground, moving with lightning speed, dodging one long-range ninjutsu after another.

Then, the serpentine shadows coiled around one Konoha ninja after another, easily strangling and killing them.

Orochimaru's neck twisted like rubber, his lips split open, and in front of all the ninjas, his snake-like body coiled around a female Konoha ninja before injecting his venomous fangs into her carotid artery.

"ah--"

The female ninja was in unbearable pain; her beautiful face gradually turned ashen, and her entangled body convulsed for a moment before she lost her life.

"..."

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu exchanged a glance, their faces turning cold. They then retreated and, under the protection of Konoha ninjas, withdrew from the morgue.

How could these two Hokage advisors not know why the enemy was attacking Konoha at this time?

The Nine-Tails has extremely strong protection.

As for the corpses in the morgue, they were not the real Hokage from different generations, but rather disguised bait set up by Koharu Utatane to lure the attackers.

The real Hokage's corpse is in a place deemed safe by the two Hokage advisors.

Now the internal barrier of the entire Root organization base has been activated, and in addition, the Konoha Barrier Team has set up several layers of barriers on the outside.

The base was guarded by elite ninjas from the remaining ninja villages of Konoha, and was also surrounded by multiple layers of encirclement.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado's goal was to kill the intruders who were interfering with the "Edo Tensei Project".

If Konoha hadn't been driven to desperation...

The two Hokage advisors, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi, would not have raised the level of protection for the bodies of past Hokage to such an extent.

"What if the intruder is Orochimaru..."

Koharu, her old eyes narrowed slightly, her thoughts racing. Suddenly, she clenched her fists and said in a deep voice, "This is bad, get to the underground immediately!"

After speaking, she lifted the hem of her black and white skirt and strode away with great speed.

"But we've also set up a tight defense there!" Mitokado Homura quickly followed.

"If it were any other intruder, it wouldn't matter, but it's Orochimaru. His understanding of the Root organization's base layout is probably not much worse than Danzo's!"

Xiaochun, who was changing dorm rooms, gave a cold reminder.

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Mitokado Homura raised his hand to push up his glasses, abandoning any lingering hope, and prepared to stretch his old bones and fight his junior, Orochimaru.

It's important to know that these two Hokage advisors were direct disciples of Tobirama Senju.

A true Shadow Guardian!

The two had just stepped out the door.

Rumbling--

A violent tremor erupted deep underground at the Root organization's base, where the real Hokage's corpse was kept. Thick smoke billowed out, and a giant brown snake appeared out of nowhere, holding a coffin in its mouth.

Orochimaru stood on the head of a snake, coldly surveying the entire tower building filled with Konoha ninja.

He sighed helplessly, then formed a hand seal and manipulated the giant snake to disappear into the ground.

The Root organization's base is covered by various barriers, making it impossible to use reverse channeling techniques.

but.

As Koharu Utatane said, in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, apart from Danzo, basically no one is more familiar with the structure of the Root organization base than Orochimaru.

Orochimaru manipulated a giant snake to burrow underground, escaping through loopholes in the Root organization's base barrier and the barriers set up by the surrounding ninjas.

The root organization base has returned to calm.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado leaped from the sky and landed among the ruins and boulders.

Instead of actively pursuing Orochimaru, they strode through the destroyed underground corridor.

In the darkness, as torches were lit, the two arrived at the actual morgue.

Most of the elite ninjas stationed here have been killed or wounded. Several of the ANBU members, before they died, used earth-style techniques to secure the two coffins and the withered tree.

A heavily injured ANBU member stumbled towards the two Hokage advisors.

He clutched the wound on his right arm where a venomous snake had injected it, and weakly said:

"Sir, the Fourth Hokage's body... has been taken away."

After saying that, the ANBU member fell to the ground.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado breathed a heavy sigh of relief as they looked at the coffins of the First and Second Hokage, as well as Danzo's tree trunk.

"By protecting the bodies of the First and Second Hokage during Orochimaru's invasion, you are already heroes of Konoha!"

Turning to her new room, Xiaochun wiped the sweat from her forehead and said worriedly:

"Just like when we were researching Wood Release, let's recruit volunteers. The Impure World Reincarnation can't be delayed any longer!"

"well--"

Mitokado sighed heavily.

……

Konoha Village.

Naruto's family.

The bedroom was simply furnished, and Naruto, dressed in pajamas, stood by the window, peeking at the street.

The shadowy figure kept flashing.

Chaos and clamor, along with the ninjas' soothing and comforting words, echoed in the night sky above the ninja village.

The invasion was quickly quelled by the Konoha ninja, so much so that Konoha did not organize the villagers to flee to the Kage Rock Refuge.

"So this is war, and then it's over?" Naruto's azure eyes shimmered with a complex expression. He drew the curtains and returned to bed.

In his view, Konoha had many powerful ninjas, so the village would surely be safe.

Stare at the ceiling.

Naruto felt that the sudden change had disrupted his originally happy and joyful life.

These past few days, even Shikamaru hasn't been in the mood to chat with him, so he often finds himself thinking a lot when he's alone.

"Sleep, sleep!"

He pulled down the black monster-shaped sleeping cap to cover his eyes, lay on his side, and casually kicked the blanket away.

just.

Am I really happy?

Naruto suddenly opened his eyes and stared straight into the darkness.

He had no father or mother.

Only the Third Hokage maintained his connection with the ninja village, but now, the Third Hokage has been neglected for a long time.

Looking out the window at the streets of the ninja village, Naruto felt that the war that had befallen the village had nothing to do with him.

"Ugh... This is so annoying! Why does my mind keep racing?" Naruto sighed, hugging his blanket, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

……

Sungai tribe.

Main house.

hall.

The lights were bright, the floor was clean, and the children of the branch family and the main family knelt on the ground, one on the left and one on the right.

The children of the main family each have their own maid to take care of them, while those of the branch family are cared for by themselves.

Several squads of branch family ninjas were stationed outside.

Once the war spreads.

These branch family Jonin would prioritize transferring children from the clan, with the main family having the highest priority, followed by the branch families. Women, children, and the elderly would have the same priority, but would be placed after children.

Neji, the chief of the branch family, sat upright on the ground, facing the darkness outside the door.

He had delicate features, his long black hair was neatly combed, and he wore a clean and tidy white outfit.

In the main branch of the family, Hinata lowered her head and remained silent, her face filled with sorrow, while the younger Hanabi often curiously observed Neji.

The two sisters were beautiful, with red lips and white teeth; even among the children of the Hyuga clan, they were the most outstanding beauties.

The Hyuga clan lost its leader some time ago, and the clan is still shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

Beside Hanabi, kneeling, sat a female Hyuga ninja. She wore a white maid's dress, had short hair, and was gentle, quiet, and quite beautiful.

The female ninja's name is Hyuga Natsumi, the personal maid of Hyuga Hanabi, the second young lady of the main family. She is responsible for taking care of Hanabi's daily life.

"Miss, don't be afraid."

Hinata Natsumi gently comforted him.

"Ugh—"

Little Fireworks let out a soft moan, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she looked away.

She wasn't afraid, but rather curious about why her cousin Neji was so calm.

Until the news of "the ninja village is safe" was heard from the clansmen outside the door.

"..."

Neji's clear Byakugan trembled slightly, revealing a look of disgust, but it quickly dissipated, and his expression returned to normal.

"The danger is over. The main family members may leave now. Dismissed!" A Hyuga branch family ninja announced the order, and all the children in the hall remained silent.

Neji, the head of the branch family, sat in place, watching as the children of the main family were led away by servants first.

"Neji-nii-nii..."

Hanabi wanted to say something to Neji, but Natsu led her away by her chubby little hand.

Until there were no more children of the clan in the hall.

Neji got up and left.

Many of the children who had separated from the family followed him.

Stepping outside, I looked up at the night sky; under the full moon, everything seemed like a cage.

Let the children walk by.

Neji pondered inwardly:

"The death of a clan chief is far from enough. This disgusting system of branch families and clans, this disgusting family, may only be destroyed by war."

For Neji, the death of Hiashi Hyuga was incredibly good news.

Unfortunately, all of this was within the calculations of the Hyuga clan's higher-ups.

"Age has become the biggest obstacle for me in defying fate... I'll just wait patiently for my opportunity!"

Neji clenched his fist.

He walked away slowly.

Now that the landscape of the ninja world has changed, he will eventually have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and break free from the fate of being a caged bird.

……

Uchiha clan.

Because of the disturbances in the ninja village, young Sasuke was also feeling restless.

Under the full moon.

"Is that all?"

Sasuke's expression was icy.

He stood on the rooftop, gazing at the streets of the ninja village under the night sky, sighing that the disturbance had been swiftly quelled and had not spread to the clan's territory.

Sasuke originally thought that Yinyue and his mother had come to pick him up, but that was not the case.

……

Outside of Konoha Village.

Near the Death Forest.

At the No. 41 mountain training ground, Orochimaru rode a summoned brown giant snake, with the two gravediggers standing beside him.

"My lord, this is the list of the remains we unearthed this time, as well as the scroll that seals the remains."

The Sound Ninja, dressed in black robes, handed Orochimaru two bundles of scrolls from his robes and held up a torch, bringing light to his side.

To facilitate the counting of Edo Tensei (impure world beings).

After the two grave-digging sound ninjas sealed the remains into a scroll, they recorded the ninja's name according to the tombstone.

Orochimaru nodded, opened the scroll of names, and glanced at it casually. Besides "Sakumo Hatake", two other names caught his attention.

Rin Nohara, Kushina Uzumaki.

"Well done!"

Orochimaru put away the scroll, and the image of Minato's female disciple and his wife appeared in his mind.

If these two were brought out of the Edo Tensei world and given to Lord Yin Yue, he would surely be very happy.

After all, according to rumors, Lord Yinyue likes…

"hehe."

Orochimaru smiled and collected his thoughts.

It's nothing unusual for a strong person to have some peculiar hobbies. Orochimaru also has many strange hobbies, but he is indifferent to women.

Reflecting on tonight.

This struggle for the Hokage's corpse proved far more difficult than Orochimaru had anticipated.

The two Hokage advisors laid a trap.

The coffins of the three Hokage and Danzo's corpse were sealed with countless seals, both inside and out.

With limited time, he could only break the outer seal of one coffin. After careful consideration, he ultimately chose the fourth generation chosen by Yin Yue.

The coffin inside the mouth of the summoning serpent now contains the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

"Minato, Kushina, Rin Nohara, what a coincidence, we're almost able to gather the entire Minato family."

Orochimaru was filled with emotion.

Once they are resurrected, Minato will have to thank his senior, who gave the Minato family the opportunity to reunite.

Next, he must go to the Namen Hall of the Uzumaki Clan to unlock the soul of Minato, which has been sealed by the Grim Reaper.

Suddenly, Orochimaru's consciousness flickered with an unusual fluctuation, and a small white snake in his sleeve spat out two bundles of information scrolls.

Open one of the rolls.

Examine it carefully.

Orochimaru's eyes lit up; the document recorded what Yin Yue and the others had done in Kirigakure.

He sighed inwardly:

"Just as I guessed, none of the ninja villages that Yinyue-kun arrived at survived intact."

"Heh... The Six-Tails' rampage caused heavy losses to Kirigakure."

"Now that Lord Yinyue is returning, he's most likely heading to the Land of Rice Fields and the Sound Village. I'm afraid my base is doomed!"

Thinking it over, Orochimaru shook his head helplessly, opened another scroll, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

This scroll was sent by his intelligence agent planted in Konoha.

The person who broke into the forbidden jutsu room of the Hokage Building in Konoha tonight was none other than Shinno, the leader of the Sky Village who taught him the "Regeneration Technique"!

"Tell our intelligence agents in the eastern border of the Land of Fire to attempt to make contact with Lord Yinyue and inform him that Shennong is in Konoha!"

Orochimaru's expression turned grave, and he immediately issued an order.

"yes--"

Two Sound Ninja disappeared into the darkness.
