Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Three days later, in the Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one of them and lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled a series of round smoke.

Soon, the Third Hokage frowned.

This box of cigarettes was a gift from his eldest son Shinnosuke, and it was said that it tasted better and was healthier than the traditional pipe.

But he was still a little unaccustomed to the product of the new era, and missed the pipe that had accompanied him for decades.

After thinking for a while, the Third Hokage took out the pipe from the drawer.

After tearing the cigarette open, the Third Hokage took out the tobacco, put it in the pipe and lit it, took a deep puff of the cigarette mouth, and showed a satisfied smile.

Sure enough, things from the old era were more suitable for him, and there was no need to deliberately cater to the new era.

After completing these, the Third Hokage looked at the blank scroll on the table. He was going to give this scroll to Jiraiya's summoning beast today so that Jiraiya could negotiate with the Fourth Raikage on the front line...

At this moment, the door of the Hokage's office was pushed open from the outside, and Danzo appeared in front of the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage frowned and looked at Danzo with a rather unhappy expression.

Just as the Third Hokage was about to say something, he noticed the group of jonin standing behind Danzo, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn.

Could it be that Danzo was not satisfied with the position of the leader of the Root Organization, and took advantage of the time when the main force of the village was out to bring a few jonin to him to force him to abdicate?

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage himself felt a little absurd.

Danzo should know that he is not his opponent, and even if he defeated him by chance, he could not become the Hokage of the village.

Taking a deep breath, the Third Hokage looked at Danzo and asked calmly, "Danzo, is there anything important that brought you here this time?"

Danzo said with a grim expression, "Third Hokage, just last night, Orochimaru attacked the Root base, took away some of the Root's information, and injured Ryoma Ninja!"

"What did you say, Orochimaru attacked the Root?"

The Third Hokage suspected that he had heard wrongly, and stared at Danzo with a suspicious look.

Since Orochimaru was arranged by him to work in the Root, he has always had a very good relationship with Danzo, and he is one of the top leaders of the Root.

During the election of the Fourth Hokage, Danzo even recommended Orochimaru to run for the Fourth Hokage.

With such a relationship, it is impossible for Orochimaru to attack the Root base.

But from Danzo's expression, the other party does not seem to be deceiving himself, and this kind of thing is easy to verify, just call Orochimaru to come and confront him face to face.

Facing the suspicion of the Third Hokage, Danzo quickly said:

"Orochimaru did attack the Root, and in addition, he also attacked many senior ninjas in the village, including the Uchiha and Hyuga clans."

At this time, other senior ninjas also stood up and told their experiences of being attacked by Orochimaru.

"Third-generation sir, Danzo is right, Orochimaru attacked us yesterday, but he did not kill us, but took our blood."

"Is Orochimaru trying to use our blood for experiments?"

"I heard that Orochimaru is keen on human experiments. I didn't expect that he would attack the ninjas in the village. Third-generation sir, you have to give us justice."

After listening to the reports of these senior ninjas, the face of the Third Hokage became more and more gloomy.

He didn't know whether Danzo and other senior ninjas were deceiving him together, or whether Orochimaru really attacked his companions in the village.

If these are all facts, how should he face his apprentice?

After glaring at Danzo, the Third Hokage said to the senior ninjas in front of him:

"You guys go down for now. I need to be quiet for a while. I will give you an explanation within three days at the latest."

Hearing this, the senior ninjas attacked by Orochimaru left the office, including Danzo.

After leaving the Hokage building, the senior ninjas looked at Danzo and said cautiously: "Danzo, will the Third Hokage really deal with Orochimaru?"

Danzo shook his head with an ugly face, and then said: "I don't know, let's go back and wait for the result."

Unlike the previous disguises, Danzo was really angry this time, and the Root was indeed attacked by Orochimaru, and even Tenzo, who he carefully protected, was attacked by Orochimaru.

Although he had long had the idea of ​​targeting Orochimaru and making Orochimaru a stepping stone.

But Orochimaru actually knew that he was going to deal with him in advance and took action in advance. Does Orochimaru really not want to stay in the village?

...

A few hours later

Under the guidance of the Hyuga Ninja, the Third Hokage led the Anbu team to a laboratory in the Death Forest.

After violently blasting open the door of the laboratory, the Third Hokage saw Orochimaru and the experimental materials in the nearby glass jars that had not been processed yet.

And from the traces at the scene, the laboratory was conducting a wood escape experiment.

After seeing this scene, the Third Hokage gritted his teeth and felt very heavy.

He couldn't believe that his most proud disciple would secretly conduct human experiments in secret, violating the rules he had set at the beginning.

After taking a deep breath, the Third Hokage said in a trembling voice:

"Orochimaru, did you do all this? Considering your contribution to the village, as long as you give up continuing human experiments, I can spare your life and let you continue to serve as a senior ninja in the village!"

Hearing this, Orochimaru turned to look at the Third Hokage, shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, old man, but I can't agree to your request. If I can't conduct human experiments and explore the limits of ninjutsu, my life will be meaningless."

The Third Hokage said: "Is the limit of ninjutsu more important than the will of fire?"

"Ever since I failed in my bid to become the Fourth Hokage, I have lost interest in the village, my companions, and the Will of Fire."

Orochimaru smiled at first, and then said sadly:

"As for the village, I don't know whether it is the village of Konohagakure or your village. At least in Lord Tobirama's time, these human experiments have never been banned."

Hearing Orochimaru mention the Second Hokage, the Third Hokage's face changed slightly, he sighed softly and said:

"Teacher Tobirama has never attacked the ninjas in the village. Don't continue to be stubborn. I don't want to clean up the house myself."

Orochimaru smiled, then assumed a fighting posture and said:

"Teacher Sandaime, the narrow sky of Konoha can no longer accommodate my dreams. Please let me see the teacher's strength before leaving."

Before he finished speaking, Orochimaru raised his sleeves and shouted: "Ninja Technique: Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!"

The Third Hokage sighed in his heart, and formed seals with his hands to summon the monkey demon. The monkey demon instantly turned into a wishful stick and fell into the hands of the Third Hokage.

Immediately, the Third Hokage rushed towards Orochimaru's position.
