Go to Naruto World as Dokage

Chapter 240 Follow-up

For Iwa Ninja, the fact that the Third Raikage died in battle was neither good nor bad.

The Third Raikage may be one of the strongest enemies in the eyes of Konoha's top brass, or perhaps none. From this perspective, the existence of the Third Raikage is naturally a good thing for Iwa Ninja. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

But from another perspective, the Third Raikage brought the Cloud Ninja Village into its heyday, which posed a great threat to the Earth Kingdom, which is closest to the Kingdom of Thunder and across the sea.

Yi Chen had speculated that in the original work, Ohnoki's attack on the Third Raikage probably had the same idea as the Kiri Ninja today, and he was also afraid that the Kumo Ninja would be too aggressive and covet his own territory.

Therefore, whether the third Raikage's death in battle was more beneficial than harmful or harmful than beneficial to the Iwa Ninja, the Iwa Ninja and the civilians of the Earth Country could not tell. Everyone just looked at this matter with the mentality of a common people.

But for Konoha, the impact of this incident was too great. First of all, Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato, who carried out this incident, became heroes in the eyes of Konoha civilians.

As for Orochimaru's actions, he was deliberately suppressed by Sarutobi Hiruzen at first and did not spread widely in the Leaf Village.

However, the ninjas of Konoha Village still had some grudges against Orochimaru. Orochimaru himself did not even do the honorable job of returning to the village to explain. Orochimaru even asked Sarutobi Hiruzen to send an envoy to summon him.

The door was closed.

Outsiders, including Yichen, would naturally not notice this, but Danzo, who was the assistant to the Hokage of Konoha, would naturally understand it clearly.

Therefore, Danzo, who had been keeping his status quo since suffering a big loss from Kumo Ninja, made another move.

In the original work, Danzo had a lot of power in Konoha at this time. Even after being defeated by Nagato, he still refused to give up on the position of the Fourth Hokage. Therefore, Danzo's attitude towards Orochimaru at that time was to win over and cooperate with Orochimaru.

Whether it was wooing or cooperating, Danzo took the initiative in getting along with Orochimaru. Because of this, after the human experiment incident occurred, Danzo was able to dump all the blame on Orochimaru and hide himself again.

Behind the scenes.

But this time period is different. Danzo's power has almost been lost in the hands of Kumo Ninja, and he has lost the initiative to cooperate with Orochimaru.

This would have to be replaced by an ordinary person. Maybe he would give up cooperation, maybe he would tolerate it for a while, and then when the time is right, he would take the initiative back. But Danzo is not an ordinary person!

Danzo chose to push Orochimaru.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is Orochimaru's teacher, and he should have a thorough understanding of Orochimaru. This is also true. It is said that Hiruzen Sarutobi did not choose to let Orochimaru succeed because he saw ambition in Orochimaru's eyes.

But in terms of understanding Orochimaru's heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen is not as good as Danzo, who is as unwilling to accept the status quo as Orochimaru. Danzo may not have expected that Orochimaru has long wanted to get rid of Konoha, but Danzo discovered very keenly

It shows the change of Orochimaru's attitude towards Sarutobi Hiruzen and towards Konoha.

So Danzo attacked Orochimaru.

The method Danzo adopted was to create rumors about Orochimaru. After all, this move had a successful history, and White Fang fell to this move.

It's not right to call it a rumor, because the rumors Danzo promoted within Konoha about Orochimaru are all true. Many of them even included projects that Danzo and Orochimaru collaborated on before and during the Third War.

It was too easy for Danzo to produce some true and false evidence.

Then Konoha became lively.

The sneak attack incident that Feidan Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to cover up was revealed by Danzo. There were still rumors in Konoha Village that Orochimaru was conducting experiments on the bodies of ninjas and civilians. Various rumors had noses and eyes, pictures and truth, no matter

Whether others believe it or not, Danzo himself believes it.

Orochimaru suddenly turned from a hero to an executioner, and this matter spread very quickly under the guidance of Danzo. Whether it was Konoha's ninjas or civilians, the enthusiasm for discussing this matter far exceeded that of the death of the Third Raikage.

Of course, the direction of the discussion is not one-sided. Orochimaru still has many loyal subordinates who firmly believe that Orochimaru was wronged.

In addition, some people remembered White Fang back then, and their attitude was relatively cautious. They did not fully believe it, nor did they directly refute it. They were waiting for the Hokage's voice.

But unfortunately, Danzo has evidence this time, so the mainstream of the rumors is still quite unfavorable to Orochimaru.

Of course, this kind of rumor couldn't be hidden from Jiraiya, who went to hot springs every day to collect materials. When he learned that his good gay friend might go astray, Jiraiya's first reaction was that he didn't believe it.

Jiraiya, who felt that someone was targeting Orochimaru, smashed the glass window of the Hokage's office and jumped directly in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was smoking.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at Jiraiya and did not stop smoking. He just waved to the ANBU who followed.

After the ANBU left, Jiraiya couldn't wait to say: "Old man, what's going on with Orochimaru? Who is targeting Orochimaru? Is the Kumo ninja taking revenge on us? Why don't you stop it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Jiraiya again, took a long drag on his cigarette, and then said: "Orochimaru didn't attack Kumo Ninja. If Kumo Ninja wants revenge, he should come to you. On the contrary, Orochimaru also sneak-attacked Kiri Ninja.

Village, help Yun Ninja breathe a sigh of relief, why did Yun Ninja target Orochimaru?"

Jiraiya was right when he thought about it. Just now, he was concerned about chaos. Now after Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded him, he felt that this matter did not seem to be the handiwork of the Kumo ninja. After thinking about it, he said, "Is it Danzo?"

In Jiraiya's heart, a good gay friend is naturally the most reliable companion. Although the two often have disagreements, Jiraiya feels that this is also a kind of fun.

But what Jiraiya didn't know was that in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart, Danzo was also the most reliable companion he considered. Although Hiruzen Sarutobi also guessed that it was very likely that Danzo did this, Hiruzen Sarutobi

Zhan didn't want Danzo's image in Jiraiya's mind to be too bad, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had no evidence to prove that Danzo did this.

On the contrary, Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a detailed piece of evidence regarding Orochimaru's series of human experiments.

Pointing at the pipe, Sarutobi Hiruzen motioned for Jiraiya to read the document himself.

Jiraiya grabbed the document handed over by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and immediately started to read it regardless of the smoke in the Hokage's office. But the more he looked at it, the deeper his frown deepened, because based on his judgment, he felt that these

The evidence is true.

After reading the document, Jiraiya, whose eyes were red, stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen without saying a word.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little uncomfortable when Jiraiya looked at him. He waited for a while and then said, "Go to the Whirlpool Country and bring him back."

"Okay." After Jiraiya heard this, he jumped out of the window without saying a word. In fact, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything, he would still go to the Country of Whirlpool, and he would ask Orochimaru himself, among them.

It's not that there's any hidden secrets, it's that there's some bitter loyalty.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and walked to the window, watching Jiraiya's figure disappear straight in the direction leading to the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and sighed. He knew that Jiraiya would definitely not take the main entrance this time, and there would be more people on the other side of the main entrance.

To register, Jiraiya probably didn't want to wait even a second.

With a cough, Sarutobi Hiruzen called the ANBU and asked the ANBU to go to the barrier class to inform them and not to make a fuss because Jiraiya left the barrier team's guarded area without authorization.

After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to another ANBU: "Go and call Danzo."

Although he didn't follow Jiraiya's words just now, he himself felt that Danzo was the biggest suspect behind this incident, and he wanted to question Danzo face to face.

What Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know was that Danzo had been waiting for him for a long time. When Danzo spread the rumors, he had prepared various possibilities for the subsequent development of the situation.

Long before Jiraiya set off, Danzo informed one of Orochimaru's loyal subordinates. Orochimaru's subordinate had already left Konoha in the name of a mission, and was probably almost at the Country of Whirlpool.

.

Naturally, Danzo did not kindly remind Orochimaru and asked Orochimaru to destroy the evidence. Danzo no longer needed evidence, and the evidence he spread in Konoha was enough to prove Orochimaru's crime.

Danzo understands Orochimaru's character. If Orochimaru didn't know what happened, he might have covered it up in front of Jiraiya. But if Orochimaru knew that the incident was exposed in advance, he would not cover it up in front of Jiraiya.

.

Danzo's prediction was correct. Orochimaru Feidan did not destroy the evidence before Jiraiya found him. Instead, he demonstrated the process of human experimentation in front of Jiraiya. It almost made Jiraiya doubt his life.

As a result, the two naturally broke up on bad terms. Jiraiya and Orochimaru had a big fight, which ended with Orochimaru's victory. During the battle, Orochimaru used some of the results of his human experiments and gave them to Jiraiya.

A lesson.

However, Orochimaru didn't kill anyone either. Both Jiraiya and Konoha were bound to him. At this time, he had no idea of ​​destroying Konoha.

After defeating Jiraiya, Orochimaru returned to Konoha Village alone. Jiraiya, who thought he was still in the Country of Uzumaki, was left to explore the Country of Uzumaki by himself.

After returning to Konoha, Orochimaru took away some experimental items he placed in Konoha and around Konoha, and then planted the immature curse seal he had just developed on his dear disciple Anko.

After everything was taken care of, he walked to a training ground and waited quietly. This was the place he often came to when he was a boy when he was still in the team led by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen came here with his Shadow Guards. The moment he saw Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that this disciple had made up his mind.

The day before, he called Danzo to the office and wanted to question him, but Danzo choked him back mercilessly. Sarutobi Hiruzen was filled with anger. He originally wanted to have a good talk with Orochimaru, but at this moment he couldn't say anything.

Won't come out.

Seeing the appearance of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru grinned in an exaggerated arc, smiled silently, then turned around and left Konoha without looking back.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Orochimaru leave in silence, turning a deaf ear to the urgent urgings of the shadow guards around him and his psychic beast, the monkey demon.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had been immersed in sadness and couldn't extricate himself, until a cold voice interrupted him.

"Hiruzhan, classify Orochimaru as an S-class traitorous ninja. Otherwise, whatever he does will be borne by us, Konoha."

After hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi came back to his senses, took a deep breath, then turned his head and looked at the three consultants who came over. His eyes swept over the faces of Koharu and Mito Kadobu, and finally focused on the person who was speaking.

Danzo's body.

He ordered the ANBU around him word for word: "Classify Orochimaru as an S-class traitorous ninja, and then inform the entire ninja world."

After finishing speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to leave, but how could Danzo let him leave so easily. He took a step forward and said, "Hiruzen, Orochimaru's cronies left in the village must be dealt with. These people are all future troubles."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was extremely angry and shouted: "Duanzo, these people are the ninjas of the village and our companions!"

However, Danzo was unmoved and responded tit for tat: "Hiruzen, you don't want to be kind, you must have the decision of a Hokage."
