Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"Hiss... It's been a long time, everyone from Konoha."

Orochimaru greeted him, but his gaze was fixed on Uchiha Sasuke, especially his distinctive eyes.

The Eye of Eternity...

"Kabuto, let's begin."

……

Chapter 418: Entrusting Hope

Nearly four years ago, during the Konoha Chunin Exams.

At that time, Orochimaru's hands were sealed by the Third Hokage's Reaper Death Seal, and the souls of the First and Second Hokage were also devoured by the Shinigami.

Prior to this, he defected from Akatsuki and attempted to use Uchiha Sasuke as the body for his next reincarnation, but was easily crushed by that person.

I'll come back to find you...

The phrase resurfaced in Orochimaru's mind.

It was precisely because of this statement that he experienced significant pressure for the next four years.

After consulting numerous documents, it was learned that the death god summoned by the old man's corpse demon seal originated from the extinct Uzumaki clan.

swirl……

This clan, which had close ties with the Senju during the Warring States period, harbors many secrets.

A year ago, he finally found the Namendo that was mentioned in the records.

Not long ago, this masked man known as Tobi in the Akatsuki organization found him and offered the best sacrifice: a White Zetsu clone.

He summoned Death, who took three souls, along with his own two hands.

Everything was ready, but that person never showed up.

"Using White Zetsu as a sacrifice, because it contains the power of the First Hokage's cells, can restore the deceased's power to the greatest extent possible."

Orochimaru licked his lips: "The First Hokage, once known as the God of Shinobi, do you think it would be wonderful to see him helplessly destroy Konoha?"

Obito pondered for a moment, then said, "I advise you not to restore their senses. As far as I know, when power reaches a certain level, the restraint of many things becomes insufficient."

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

As a scientific genius, he was not arrogant. The man who ended the Warring States period and was known as the God of Shinobi—nothing was impossible for him.

"Let's begin."

……

"boom!"

After a loud noise, three square coffins appeared before everyone in Konoha.

This familiar scene made Kakashi and the others tense up once again.

"Didn't the Third Hokage seal his hands back then...?"

"A soul taken by the Grim Reaper cannot be summoned back even through the Impure World Reincarnation. Could it be the first or second Hokage from another village?"

"Why now of all times? Has he been spying on this place all along?"

"Shikaku..."

During the connection, Shikaku spoke up: "The Third Hokage once said that Orochimaru is proficient in many forbidden techniques. He... may have already found a way to undo the Reaper Death Seal, otherwise his hand would not have recovered."

At this moment, after the dust had settled on the three coffins, Orochimaru slowly emerged.

“A decaying village, even if you cut away the rotten flesh with a knife, will still be unable to regain its vitality and life.”

"Konoha, which occupies the most fertile land in the ninja world, has roots that cannot be restored. Before it self-destructs, perhaps it would be more worthy of my remembrance to destroy it with my own hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lids of the three coffins fell to the ground.

In an instant, all the ninjas of Konoha glared angrily at Orochimaru.

Kakashi covered his eyes with one hand, and the Mangekyou Sharingan reappeared between his fingers, instantly enveloping the coffin with the symbol of four in the distorted space.

"Crack!"

The coffin exploded, and the Fourth Hokage, who had not yet opened his eyes, was sent back.

Orochimaru didn't stop him, but looked at Kakashi curiously and said, "According to the order of combat power, you should have destroyed the First Hokage first, right?"

No one answered.

In Yamanaka Inoichi's mind, Shikaku said, "Whether it's Wood Release or destructive power, the First Hokage is undoubtedly the strongest. But in terms of reaction speed and mobility, only the Fourth Hokage is the strongest among all the Hokage."

In an instant, everyone understood Shikaku's considerations.

But Shikaku looked at Kakashi.

He must have noticed it in that instant, otherwise he wouldn't have immediately set his sights on the Fourth Hokage.

"Shikaku..."

Kakashi's voice echoed in Shikaku's mind: "Everyone else has been disconnected. I need to remind you that just now, during the Fourth Hokage's Edo Tensei, my Sharingan detected the presence of the Nine-Tails' chakra."

Shikaku looked at Orochimaru across from him.

Seeing that there was no unusual color, he considered that perhaps the other party had not noticed.

It was at this moment, after emerging from the coffin, that the First Hokage charged straight at them with his head down.

"boom!"

One of the undercover agents parried, but was sent flying by the blow. At the same time, a section of tree surged up and instantly bound him.

He turned and kicked from behind, sending the person flying. After leaping into the air, he dodged the fire escape and the giant tree surged away again.

The reanimated Second Hokage, standing to the side, was also completely out of his mind, but relying solely on instinct, he annihilated the Jonin on this side.

Kakashi, who had just dealt with the Fourth Hokage's coffin, was completely unable to move at the moment.

"Kakashi."

"Kai, you..."

"Youth, brimming with potential, is most beautiful when it blossoms at this very moment!"

Guy, raising his hand and giving a thumbs-up, revealed a set of gleaming white teeth: "Kakashi... this time I'm going to save the village!"

Kakashi, still sprawled on the ground unable to move, frowned deeply: "With your physical abilities, you could turn back even if the Seventh Gate is open. But the Gate of Death—you're doomed!"

Death, such a great fear, had no effect on Matt Kee.

The Eight Gates were created specifically for this moment. After this, Lee will surely inherit this youthful spirit and one day truly shine.

"Kakashi... I won!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Akai leaped away.

As he ran, the eight gates within his body slowly opened, finally stopping only at the seventh gate, the Gate of Shock.

"Hir...Tora!"

A powerful impact erupted suddenly, and this one blow was enough to let everyone know the perseverance of the bottom runner.

"Snapped!"

The impact arrived in the blink of an eye, but the First Hokage clasped his hands together, and tree trunks began to emerge from the ground that had already formed a circular crater.

Layer upon layer, until finally the day tiger returned empty-handed.

This scene didn't surprise Might Guy, but he was still somewhat disappointed. Despite his boastful words, who would willingly choose death if they could live?

Raise one hand and slide it across your chest.

Just as they were about to open the Eight Gates, a blue figure descended from the sky.

"boom!!!"

Two blue longswords fell, shattering sections of tree trunk into pieces, yet they never felt like they had hit anything.

"Uchiha... Sasuke."

On a tree trunk, Orochimaru looked at Sasuke: "Even Madara Uchiha, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, when he had the same eye power as yours, still couldn't defeat Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage who possessed Wood Release."

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant formed from a tree root slowly stood up, gripping the blue blade of a long sword in both hands, showing no signs of distress.

"Shh."

Orochimaru's figure stood atop the wooden doll's head, with a mindless, reanimated First Hokage beside him.

“Uchiha Sasuke… your talent is definitely not just at the level of Uchiha Madara.”

"Even Madara Uchiha has turned into bones under the erosion of time. Hashirama Senju, once known as the God of Shinobi, is now just a puppet."

"Only by avoiding death and living forever in this world can one achieve true and eternal power."

Orochimaru's face was somewhat manic: "Come to me! Come to me, and you will have eternal life, you will achieve immortality, and you will be able to restore the glory of the Uchiha!"

"At that time... Konoha and Kumogakure were nothing but the decaying past. Destruction and rebirth were just a thought away for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to Sasuke atop Susanoo.

Undoubtedly, Sasuke, who has already activated the complete Susanoo, is the only force capable of contending with his opponent at this moment.

The people of Konoha, including Kakashi, were well aware of the reasons behind the Uchiha clan's annihilation.

Sasuke Uchiha defected, and Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage, was burned to ashes by him. At that point, many things could no longer be kept secret.

"asshole!!!"

Amidst the angry shouts, a blond-haired figure descended from the sky.

With hands forming a hand seal, he performs the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Dozens of Narutos raised their right hands, and Rasengan appeared and enlarged in their hands.

"Sasuke...would never go with a pervert like you!!"

"boom……"

Dozens of shadow clones unleashed their giant Rasengans, shattering trees, while the main body's Rasengan drew ever closer to Orochimaru.
