'Hoo, hoo~! '
Smoking his pipe, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally figured out what Orochimaru was doing after so many days.
He, a good apprentice, really has no intention of competing for the position of Hokage.
But his suppression also seemed to cause a strong backlash from him. Unbeknownst to him, Orochimaru had obviously developed a relationship with Shimura Danzo.
During the battle between the two fronts, Orochimaru showed uncharacteristically strong fighting power and quickly calmed down the war on the Kumo Ninja side, forcing the other party to withdraw from the Country of Fire and sign a peace treaty.
And he himself simply returned to the village and went into his laboratory again.
It seems that merit and fame are really hidden deep inside.
But such a move made the war on the Water Country more and more intense. Coupled with the support mobilization from the Cloud Ninjas, the more intense the fighting, the faster the Mist Ninjas would be defeated.
However, Shimura Danzo was ruthless and sophisticated, yet still strategically took care of his subordinates, which simply surprised Sarutobi Hiruzen.
It was as if he had changed into a different person, making him somewhat unfamiliar with this old man.
More importantly, with the news of Shimura Danzo's record and Orochimaru's full support, Shimura Danzo has become a strong candidate for the position of Hokage.
What he never expected was that the other two Hokage advisors also showed ambiguous behavior at this time, and their support for him was different from the usual firmness.
Obviously seeing Shimura Danzo's actions also ignited some ambitions in them.
The external war gradually came to an end, but Sarutobi Hiruzen never expected that the storm inside Konoha had just begun to make waves.
Just the fact that his biggest opponent was changed from Orochimaru to an old teammate who knew everything about him was enough to give him a headache.
Orochimaru, who turned to the dark side, made the third generation Hokage even more afraid.
'What do you want me to do to you, Orochimaru. '
The Sannin of Konoha were once the greatest pride of his men, but now they are all separated from him. Sometimes Sarutobi Hiruzen also wonders if there is something wrong with his actions.
But when he thought of the thriving Konoha Village, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
'I won't let you disturb Konoha! '
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is getting older day by day and his spirit is gradually not as strong as when he was at his peak, he is still as decisive as he should be.
But now, even if he puts his mind to it, he has nowhere to say anything to Orochimaru, who has taken a back seat.
Although many of Orochimaru's experiments were indeed a little bloody, but after all, which ninja village didn't do something similar? Orochimaru doesn't touch anyone in the village now, he only uses prisoners of war and criminals.
In addition, he occasionally handed over some forbidden arts experience, as well as the analysis of various ninjutsu, showing the results of his experiments.
Today's Sarutobi Hiruzen actually doesn't have much choice but to kill Orochimaru. Otherwise, who will do the dirty work for the village in the future?
'It's just that Orochimaru has no way to start, but Danzo... there are many flaws. '
Although Shimura Danzo, who collaborates with Orochimaru, is also very sophisticated, don't forget that after so many years of cooperation, Sarutobi Hiruzen is also very clear about the details of this old teammate.
Now, although Danzo seems to be clearing his name, whether he can clear his name or not is not a matter of his Hokage's words.
There are so many dirty scandals, just two of them can bring down Shimura Danzo's reputation, and a ninja without enough reputation cannot reach the position of Hokage.
'Don't blame me, Danzo. '
'This is all for the stability of Konoha! '
Knocking out his pipe, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes suddenly condensed, and he had already made a decision.
Orochimaru, who was in the laboratory, began to make records or experiments based on various things in his memory. He wanted to see if it was the same as what he remembered.
It turns out that everyone in the entire ninja world, especially those who can use chakra, all come from the same source.
The existence of a family named 'Otsutsuki'!
'No wonder bloodline is so important in the ninja world...'
'Uchiha and Senju are both proud of this. '
A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes that could see through everything. Orochimaru raised his head. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the answer.
The ultimate answer to the entire ninja world, why do ninjas exist?
In comparison, the various intrigues in Konoha Village have long been ignored by him.
It's just that the previous arrangements are still going on step by step. The internal strife between the Hokage family and Shimura Danzo is about to be completely detonated when the external situation of Konoha Village becomes clear!
...
"The Demon Slayers' power has increased."
Just when the Demon Slayer Corps knew nothing about it, in the Mugen City, the headquarters of Demon Slayer Muzan, a man with six eyes, one of whose pupils was engraved with .1, spoke indifferently.
In his long life, the Demon Slayers became stronger, the ghosts' power weakened, and then reversed again. The cycle had happened several times.
So he was not surprised by the sudden strength of the Demon Slayer Squad.
What really surprised him was that because of the strength of the Demon Slayer Squad, Muzan Onimusuji felt weak.
Obviously this is another unexpected factor.
"This is bullshit."
"I have recently noticed a lot of strange faces and started to inquire around the Paradise Sect. It seems that I have noticed something is wrong with the Paradise Sect."
Holding a fan in his hand, the man who looked like a religious leader had a boyish face, showing an innocent smile, but there was a trace of blood on his lips.
"Be careful, since the Demon Slayer Squad is dispatched on such a large scale."
"It's just that I'm sure there's some secret."
"I don't want you to be killed by humans before I kill you!"
The upper stringer with short pink hair and dark blue tattoos all over his body sent a cold reminder to the religious leader-like upper stringer.
"Ha, thank you very much for your concern."
Shaking the paper fan, it was obvious that the second top stringer did not care about the actions of the Demon Slayers. In its view, the so-called humans and even the Demon Slayers were just bigger toys and food.
And it will be more palatable food.
The swing of the paper fan concealed its uncontrollable appetite, and also showed his extremely ferocious side.
"Whatever the reason."
"Master Wuhan's orders cannot be violated."
"The 'Blue Higanbana' must be found!"
"Also, find out the reason for the abnormal actions of the Demon Slayer Squad, and if necessary, send out all the demons."
There are six eyes on the left forehead and right chin with dark red flame markings on the upper chord. One, indifferent opening.
"If necessary..."
"All members of the Demon Slayer Squad can be killed!"
After conveying Kibutsuji Muzan's order, the man turned around and left.
The other top stringers looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that the adult would be so aggressive, but they soon showed excitement.
Because...this means that they can act a little more boldly!
