Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

Stab it--!

The sea water was evaporated by the flames and made a boiling sound. The mist spread all around, and the sea water rose up and condensed into a human shape, forming the water clone of the Kirigakure Ninja.

"What a powerful fire escape! However, this is the ocean, the water is inexhaustible! This is my main battlefield!"

The Kirigakure Anbu ninja laughed mockingly.

Isn’t the essence included in it?

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to the mocking words of the Kirigakure Anbu ninja, reached into his ninja tool bag, hooked out a kunai with his fingers, looked at his disciples who were dealing with the pirates, and did not act in a hurry.

Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique and Fire Style: Great Flame Technique...

Orochimaru wrote down how Sarutobi Hiruzen formed hand seals and how to use them. After this mission is over, she will try to master these two ninjutsu.

"Thunder Escape·Earth Walk!"

Orochimaru formed seals with his hands, lightning wrapped around his hands, and struck the pirate on the chest with one palm. The strong electric current instantly spread to the pirate's whole body. He leaned over and pressed his hands on the ground. The spreading lightning was conducted along the sea water on the deck to another pirate.

The pirate trembled violently, his hair standing on end, and fell down with smoke coming out.

As expected, as I expected, Lightning Release: Earth Walk has great limitations, but it allowed me to learn the nature changes of Lightning Release Chakra. With my control over chakra, I can make the lightning generated by Lightning Release: Earth Walk wrap around my palm and not release it.

Orochimaru looked at the pirate lying on the ground and still shaking and twitching, a satisfied arc appeared on the corner of his lips, and he waved his hand and threw two kunai that pierced the pirate's heart.

Even if I don't kill these pirates, the fishermen from the Tea Kingdom will not let them go. It's better for them to die in my hands.

Orochimaru's shadow clone had a cold expression, holding a kunai, and quickly killed one pirate after another.

The blood dyed the sea red and spread outward with the flow of the sea.

Orochimaru snatched the katana from the pirate's hand, attached his lightning chakra to the katana, cut the weapon in the pirate's hand and cut it in half, then swung his hand and threw the katana, piercing the chest of the pirate who wanted to escape and nailing it to the mast.

boom--!

Tsunade knocked the pirate down with one punch, and the hard wooden deck was cracked by the pirate's head. She saw a sharp edge out of the corner of her eye and dodged the incoming kunai by moving sideways, and took out a kunai from her ninja tool bag to block the attack.

"That sign..."

Tsunade looked at the symbol on the mask of the Kirigakure Anbu, "You are a ninja from Kirigakure, what are your intentions?!"

"I don't want to talk nonsense to the dead!"

The Kirigakure Anbu ninja kicked Tsunade away and disappeared from the spot.

The sound of waves rang out, and the originally calm sea water became turbulent, causing huge waves, which swept up the fishing boat and dragged it into the sea.

Is this an illusion activated through hearing?

The moment Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that he was under an illusion, he broke the illusion, swung his kunai and cut a wound in the chest of the Kirigakure Anbu ninja, and water spurted out of the wound.

Sarutobi Hiruzen dodged the attack from behind by leaning sideways, then took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, and waved it with both hands so fast that afterimages appeared. He instantly eliminated the water clones around him, and looking at the sea water under his feet, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.

It turned out to be the case.

"Is this an illusion?!"

Jiraiya realized that he was caught in an illusion, so he put his hands together to disrupt his own chakra and break the illusion. Seeing the fishermen struggling in pain, holding their necks, he knew that they were also caught in an illusion, so he hurried over to break the illusion for them.

Although Jiraiya has no talent in illusion, he is still very talented in breaking through illusions.

Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed Jiraiya's actions, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he was happy for Jiraiya's growth.

Although Orochimaru and Tsunade were a little slower than Jiraiya, they also broke the illusion.

"Has the illusion been broken? Then, the psychic technique!"

The Kirigakure Anbu ninja who cast the illusion saw that it was broken, so he bit his thumb and smeared the blood on the palm of his hand. He quickly formed a seal and slapped his hand on the sea surface, summoning several meters long sharks. Their sharp teeth flashed coldly in the sunlight. Wrapped in the sea water, they rushed out of the sea and attacked the fishermen and Sarutobi's team on the deck of the fishing boat.

The fishermen screamed in terror as they looked at the sharks with their bloody mouths wide open.

"Summoning technique? Let me show you Master Jiraiya's summoning technique!"

Tsunade Orochimaru, and Teacher Sarutobi, let me show you the results of my training during this period!

Jiraiya bit his thumb and smeared the blood on the palm of his hand. When he thought about showing the results of his training immediately, the speed of making hand seals increased a bit.

"Keep your eyes open and watch!"

Jiraiya jumped off the fishing boat and slapped his hands on the sea.

boom--!

The smoke cleared, and a red toad with a scar on its left eye appeared.

"This is... the ocean?!"

As soon as Gamabunta came out, he felt extremely itchy all over his body and couldn't help scratching his back.

"Bunta, this time we're going to fight side by side!"

Jiraiya said with a smile as he stood on Bunta's back, looking at Tsunade and Orochimaru with a show-off look.

Just as he was feeling smug, Gamabunta's tongue wrapped around his waist and threw him into the air.

"Jiraiya! I'm a freshwater creature, and you summoned me to the sea!"

Gamabunta shouted angrily, his whole body itching so much that he wanted to beat Jiraiya up. He was summoned to such a hellish place, and just throwing him into the air was already giving him a lot of face.

Jiraiya fell headfirst into the sea, his butt sticking out as half of his body sank into the water. He pressed his hands against the surface of the sea and stood up. With an awkward smile and a hint of flattery, he said, "Don't say that! You have to show your perseverance at a time like this! Bunta! We are brothers who have shared life and death!"

"They can't even command their own summoning beasts. Is this the limit of Konoha's next generation?"

The Kirigakure Anbu ninja taunted and ordered the sharks to attack Jiraiya and Gamabunta.

"what?!"

Gamabunta frowned and narrowed his eyes, "Jiraiya, I will let you see the kindness and righteousness of me, Gamabunta of Myoboku Mountain!"

Gamabunta picked up the sharks, stepped back and kicked them away, then slapped them away with his hands. Before they landed on the ground, he swung out his tongue that was wrapped around one shark, swung it up and hit the other shark.

"Jiraiya, use the Toad Oil Flame Bomb."

Gamabunta looked at the sharks surrounding him and said to Jiraiya.

"learn!"

Jiraiya jumped onto Gamabunta's back. Gamabunta squatted slightly to gather strength, jumped high into the air and spit out toad oil from his mouth. Jiraiya spit out flames from his mouth and ignited the toad oil.

"Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!"

The scorching hot toad oil bomb not only evaporated the sea water surrounding the shark, but also fell on the shark's body and started burning. Even if the shark hid in the sea, the burning toad oil did not go out.

The Kirigakure Anbu ninja, who was unable to dodge in time, looked at the surging and burning toad oil in horror, screamed in fear, and was engulfed by the toad oil fire bomb. He struggled and was burned to ashes.

(The essence of the toad oil flame bomb is to ignite the toad oil spit out by Gamabunta with fire. Its power has little to do with the current Jiraiya. His role is just a lighter, refer to Naruto in the original work.)

"Lightning Release: Lightning Strike!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen formed seals with his hands, pressed them on the sea, and released powerful lightning from his palms.

The two lightning bolts attacked in different directions, conducting and spreading in the sea water at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, the entire sea area was flashing with lightning.

Hit.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his hand, which still had a faint flash of lightning.

I saw a Kirigakure Anbu ninja with steam coming out of his body as if he had been electrocuted floating up from the sea.

Gamabunta, who landed on the fishing boat, was very glad that he did not fall on the sea, otherwise, he would most likely be affected by the lightning attack.

Lightning Release: Lightning Strike... It seems that there is still a long way to go if I want to learn all the ninjutsu mastered by Sensei Sarutobi!

Orochimaru stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen excitedly.

Sure enough, it’s not the Kirigakure Ninja…

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked up to the Kirigakure Anbu ninja, took off the mask on his face, and put on another set of clothes under his clothes. That set of clothes was the ninja uniform of the Sand Village in the Wind Country.

The Hidden Mist Village has been isolated from the outside world for a long time since the Second Mizukage established the secret law. Even if it was to avoid leaking information, it would not do such a thing, let alone deal with the Konoha ninja in this way.

Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen heard the sound of something burning. He suddenly lifted up the clothes of the Sand Village ninja and saw a burning detonating tag.

"not good!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen retreated quickly, forming hand seals as he did so.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

The sea water surged up, forming a wall of water that surrounded the Sand Village ninjas.

boom--!

Smoke rose up, surrounding the Sand Village ninja's water style, water formation wall, greatly reducing the impact of the explosion of the detonating tag.

Another new ninjutsu!

Orochimaru was very excited.

Do you like ninjutsu that much?

Tsunade noticed the expression on Orochimaru's face and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

Even if you die, you don't want the person who killed you to take this information away?

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly. If it wasn't him and his disciples who were carrying out this mission, but another team...

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a cloud of gloom in his heart. The hard-earned peace did not last long, and minor frictions continued to occur between the major ninja villages. It was unknown how long the peace could last.

If possible, he hopes the peace can last a little longer.

PS:

This article won’t get too conspiratorial.

Although the character of Danzo Shimura was created to be a villain and disgust people, some of the things he did were impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, to be completely unaware of.

It was Sarutobi Hiruzen who asked Danzo Shimura to tell Itachi Uchiha about the Uchiha clan's genocide, and he admitted it himself.

The protagonist, Orochimaru, will intervene in some things.

In the original work, Sarutobi Hiruzen originally trained Orochimaru with the idea of training him as his successor, but Orochimaru himself went astray, so Sarutobi Hiruzen supported Namikaze Minato to become the Fourth Hokage.

Volume 12: Chapter : The Technique of Throwing All Shurikens Outwards

"Let me go! Let me go now! Hey! Do you know who I am? I'm from the Shimura clan!"

In the evening, just as the Sarutobi team returned to Konoha, they saw the Konoha Police Force arresting a drunkard who seemed to be arrested for causing trouble while drunk.

On the shoulders of the police force members there is a symbol of a flaming fan inside a shuriken, which is the symbol of the Konoha Police Force.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard the loud words of the drunkard from the Shimura clan, he frowned slightly and glanced at the disciples beside him.

(When Konoha was first established, the Sarutobi and Shimura clans were the first to join Konoha. I'm not making this up. Compared to the Sarutobi clan, who possessed the secret technique of Fire Release, the Shimura clan had zero presence. They were probably just a filler clan, so that Danzo Shimura could become someone with a family and a home. I thought he must be an orphan because he was so beastly.)

"Be honest and cooperate with our work."

The members of the police force had cold faces and didn't care at all which big family the person they were arresting belonged to. They acted in a businesslike manner, seriously and responsibly.

Although he really wanted to say to the Shimura clan at this moment, I am still a member of the Uchiha clan, and you Shimura clan are nothing!

How many Chunins and Jonins have emerged from families that rely on the village's top leaders to show off their power?

There is no one who can fight except Danzo Shimura!

The surrounding villagers watched as the police officers took away the troublesome drunkards. Instead of applauding, they seemed to be somewhat repulsed by the police officers.

Were the seeds planted at this time?

Orochimaru observed the expressions on the villagers' faces and understood why the Uchiha clan was eventually forced into a coup.

The decision to launch a coup was not as simple as suffering one or two injustices. The long-term oppression had caused the Uchiha clan to harbor deep resentment towards Konoha.

What's more, Konoha was jointly established by the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan. Not to mention being a Hokage, the Uchiha clan doesn't even have a high-level position.

After the death of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, the Konoha high-ranking officials ostensibly continued Senju Tobirama's policies, but in fact they misunderstood his policies. He treated all families equally and everything he did was to protect the village.

If the Sarutobi clan posed a threat to Konoha, he would also formulate policies to target the Sarutobi clan.

Hashirama Senju is a very idealistic person, while Tobirama Senju is a very realistic person who considers things more comprehensively.

It can be said that almost half of Hashirama Senju's ideal was realized by Tobirama Senju, and the other half was that he persuaded Uchiha Madara by committing suicide.
