Naruto Paradise

"Lord Hokage..."

Uchiha Itachi didn't expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen would endorse him in front of many Konoha ninjas, and even almost revealed the secret of the Uchiha clan's extermination.

"It's better not to let everyone in the village know what happened back then."

Although he was very grateful for Sarutobi Hiruzen's trust, Uchiha Itachi also had his own persistence.

He didn't want Konoha to bear the blame because of him.

He alone has to bear the blame for genocide.

Moreover, if Sasuke knew the inside story in advance, the Konoha hero development plan he arranged for Sasuke would be ruined.

"I think this matter will be made public sooner or later, and I don't want to see you being misunderstood by everyone."

Perhaps we can use the Uchiha Itachi incident to divert the conflicts within the village...

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that if he counterattacked the Sand Village under the current situation, there would definitely be some voices against him in the village.

In order to eliminate these voices, diverting conflicts and shifting people's attention should be a good way.

Therefore, even though he knew that what Uchiha Itachi said was right to continue to keep it secret, Sarutobi Hiruzen still planned to do so.

"Sandaime..."

Uchiha Itachi didn't know what to say.

But he couldn't help but have some more fantasies. If Sarutobi Hiruzen really intended to help him clear his name in Konoha, then...

Maybe he still had a chance with Sasuke.

"It's really touching. A traitor of Konoha, a sinner of Uchiha, actually has such a sympathetic relationship with Sarutobi-sensei. It's really eye-opening."

Orochimaru, who was standing by, found the combination of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Itachi strange.

but……

Ninja Technique: Four Purple Flame Formation!

When Uchiha Itachi and Sarutobi Hiruzen were "looking at each other affectionately", Orochimaru took the opportunity to order his men behind him to deploy the barrier that had been prepared long ago around them.

Konoha has a large population and in order to avoid unnecessary disturbance, Orochimaru decided to set up the barrier as planned.

With this barrier, even if Jiraiya comes later, he will be blocked for a while.

"However, I didn't expect that the teacher had the same idea as me. We both didn't want others to disturb this duel."

Orochimaru also realized at this time that Sarutobi Hiruzen had just intentionally sent Kakashi and his men away.

"I guess leaving those rubbish here would be a burden to you, right?"

"I don't think so."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared intently at Orochimaru in front of him and the Edo Tensei Rasa standing next to Orochimaru.

As for the effect of the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation, it is impossible for the summoned dead to possess most of the strength they had in life.

The second generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama, had used the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation long ago in wars against foreign villages, but unfortunately, it could only have a disruptive effect and had limited effect against the enemy.

Moreover, using this ninjutsu will be condemned and criticized by the rest of the ninja world.

In the end, it's not worth it.

But the previous Edo Rasa was able to summon underground gold dust from such a high altitude...

This is obviously no small matter.

Did Orochimaru improve the super-standard forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation?

"But you, Orochimaru, are willing to take the risk of killing the Fourth Kazekage and come to take revenge on Konoha. Why did you come to kill an old man like me?"

"for what?"

Orochimaru couldn't help but sneer when he heard this question.

"Maybe... I just want to send you, an old immortal, down, and destroy your beloved Konoha. Is this answer enough?"

"Are you still angry about not recommending you back then?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had actually noticed Orochimaru's thoughts a long time ago.

But things have already happened, and it was indeed Minato Namikaze who was more suitable back then.

"Yes, yes, yes. And the fact that the teacher kicked me out of Konoha like a stray dog still resents me. Is this answer satisfactory enough, teacher?"

Orochimaru mocked Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him in the tone of coaxing a child.

"I've long lost interest in holding a grudge about something that happened so many years ago. Teacher, please don't treat me like the little kid who used to follow you around."

"is it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was well aware of his disciple's duplicity.

"However, you are indeed the kind of person who can act without hatred, purpose, or motivation."

But in order to give Orochimaru a good way out, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to speak along with what he said.

"So, Sensei, are you planning to beg for mercy from me, or are you planning to use that rebel ninja over there to deal with me?"

After noticing that Uchiha Itachi's eyes had turned into scarlet Sharingan, Orochimaru maintained the posture of forming hand seals.

The Mangekyō Sharingan had already caused him to stumble several times, so he had to be on guard.

"Orochimaru, you seemed to have known that I would ask Itachi to deal with you today?"

"Didn't the teacher know that I would attack you today? You even deliberately 'arranged' a time with me three days ago. Now it's just what you want, right?"

Not only Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to know who Orochimaru got the information from, Orochimaru also wanted to know where the news of his plan leaked.

He actually let Sarutobi Hiruzen notice his plan in advance.

He even prepared the powerful weapon Uchiha Itachi specifically for him.

"Orochimaru, you are still as smart and sharp as before..." It seems that Orochimaru will not be able to reveal any useful information just by talking.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew his disciple's character very well.

The only way to convince Orochimaru, apart from that incident, is to defeat him first.

"If possible, I really want to go back to the beginning and educate you better."

"That's not necessary. I'm very satisfied with who I am now."

Orochimaru tore off the human skin mask on his face with a tearing sound, revealing an extremely young female face.

"Hardly... not only Impure World Reincarnation, but also that forbidden technique that even the Second Hokage couldn't master, Corpse Reincarnation!?"

After seeing Orochimaru's young, woman's face, Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked beyond words.

"Hehehe... That's right, I now have eternal youth and eternal life. All I have to do is change my body every once in a while."

After revealing his true appearance, Orochimaru's voice became feminine.

"Although my body may change constantly, my spirit is immortal... Are you jealous? My teacher, with his wrinkled face, looks like he's going to be buried soon!"

Magnetic Release: Gold Dust Burial!

While guarding against Uchiha Itachi, Orochimaru continued to control the Edo Tensei Rasa and attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"You're taking over other people's bodies to make yourself immortal, Orochimaru. You've really embarked on this evil path!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen righteously criticized Orochimaru in front of him.

"This half-human, half-ghost appearance definitely doesn't mean immortality..."

Earth Escape·Earthly River!

Looking at the huge wave of gold sand sweeping over, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly used his signature ninjutsu.

For a moment, the gray mud flow and the golden gold sand collided violently, forming a black torrent that quickly offset each other and spread to the surroundings.

But just when the torrent had calmed down, several spears made of gold sand suddenly flew up from the black mud and stabbed at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was still forming hand seals.

"Lord Hokage!"

Uchiha Itachi quickly used his water style Water Fang Bullet Technique to help Sarutobi Hiruzen block the golden sand spear.

"You've really grown old, Sarutobi-sensei. You used to be so unstoppable that you couldn't even suppress this gold dust."

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen was almost ambushed by Rasa, Orochimaru couldn't help but start mocking him again.

"The strength of the one who was resurrected after the Impure World Reincarnation is almost the same as when he was alive! How did you do it, Orochimaru!?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had indeed misjudged the strength of Edo Tensei Rasa just now.

But then, he began to become more interested in Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation.

This improved forbidden technique might actually be used in...war.

"Heh, I only discovered this recently. Speaking of which... I can develop Impure World Reincarnation to this level thanks to you, Sensei."

"what are you saying?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was confused by Orochimaru's words.

"Thanks to you for finding Uchiha Itachi, and thanks to the masked man who appeared in the Chunin Exam you held, I learned the weaknesses of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique. I gradually discovered how this technique could be improved."

Originally, the cells of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, were added to the corpse just to strengthen the control over the reincarnated ninja, but it ended up giving Orochimaru an unexpected surprise.

The more Hashirama cells are added, not only will the binding force be stronger, but the strength of the summoned dead will also be closer to the deceased's life-time.

"Thanks to you, I was able to find the body of Uchiha Shisui, the most talented illusion master of the Uchiha clan, which I had never been able to find!"

A crazy and pleased expression appeared on Orochimaru's face, and then he bit his finger hard and slammed it to the ground.

Psychic art!

In an instant, one, two, three, three white wooden coffins slowly rose up from the spiritual barrier created by his spiritual technique.

"Stop him now!"

When they heard Uchiha Shisui's name, not only Sarutobi Hiruzen, but even Uchiha Itachi's face, which had been expressionless for thousands of years, showed a bit of panic.

Chapter 5.5 Supermarket [K]

"Gaara has Naruto and Sasuke on his side now, so they should be enough."

It's time to do something meaningful.

The Uchiha Kage looked around.

Ino Sakura and others are heading towards Konoha's shelter with the last of the people. The Sand Village ninjas and Konoha's Anbu ninjas who jumped out of the crowd are divided into large and small battle groups. There are ninjas fighting from the audience seats to the square.

And from time to time there were corpses falling down, or having their throats cut, or being kicked away.

Uchiha Kage looked around.

The ground was littered with ownerless ninja fragments and souls emerging from the corpses.

This scene is not suitable for Kushina and Mikoto to see...

Before sending his shadow clone to clean up the bodies on the ground, Uchiha Kage first interrupted the "live broadcast" in the dream space.

"Xiyan!"

Just as Uchiha Kage was about to look elsewhere, he suddenly heard screams coming from a battle group somewhere.

If I heard correctly, this is the sound of the moonlight breeze?

While subconsciously looking up, the Uchiha Kage quickly discovered Uzuki Yugao who was in a tough battle with the ninjas of the Sand Village.

Although she was wearing a mask, the female ninja's conspicuous purple hair was still recognizable at a glance.

-

Ding!

The ninja sword in Uzuki Yugao's hand was knocked to the ground by a sneak attack from a senior ninja from the Sand Village.

Are you careless?

Looking at the long sword falling from her hand and the cold kunai quickly approaching her face, Mao Yue Xi Yan finally came back to her senses as if waking up from a dream.

Since a while ago, she has been staying at home and paying attention to the direction of Uchiha Kage.

He also witnessed the other party defeating dozens of Sand Village ninjas with amazing means...
