Starting from the annihilation of the clan, Hinata became a rebel ninja

"Don't forget the deal between us, the Fifth Hokage, Lord Shimura Danzo," Orochimaru reminded slowly, "Because of you, I abandoned the Akatsuki organization without hesitation, and they are still dealing with you now. I'm chasing after you..."

Danzo paused in his steps and slowly raised the corners of his mouth. He did not look back. He just tapped his cane and continued to walk forward, his voice drifting behind him:

"Wait until Konoha gets through this crisis."

"Penn."

"Hyuuga Ningqi."

"Itachi Uchiha."

"You choose one of these three bodies."

It's so confident to have Shisui's eyes that can control other people's minds... Looking at the other person's back, Orochimaru showed a greedy look on his face.

The two have cooperated for so long, and this is the first time Danzo has shown him this kind of treasure. If this thing is in his hands...

Orochimaru thought of the young Uchiha Itachi he saw on the training ground before defecting to Konoha, calmly dodging countless kunai traps.

He remembered that in a match during the Chunin Examination, he saw Hinata Ningqi walking alone among three Sunagakure ninjas. In that match, he only made three moves in total, but he accurately understood the enemy three times. Fang's flaw, the acupuncture technique passed down from the Hyuga family's ancestors, passed through countless obstacles and hit them.

So when the game ended and Ning Qi bowed to the audience and the referee, the three Sunagakure ninjas were unable to move.

For Orochimaru, the two bodies known as the two prides of Konoha, apart from Ning Qi's separation status, are more troublesome, and the amazing potential and terrifying talents displayed by the two people are fatal temptations for him.

And as the Hyuga clan was destroyed by Ning Qi himself, his status as a separate family no longer posed a problem, and Hyuga Ning Qi naturally became one of the three top turning vessels chosen by Orochimaru.

Of course, these twin prides of Konoha have a Byakugan and a Sharingan. Even if they are put together, they are completely incomparable to the temptation of Orochimaru by Payne's Rinnegan.

However, after joining the Akatsuki organization for so long, Orochimaru also had a deep understanding of the strength of the Akatsuki organization leader Payne. He clearly realized that he alone had no chance of getting involved in the Rinnegan Eye, and he had to find someone to cooperate. There is some possibility.

So at this time, when Danzo used the secret contact channel between the two of them to find him and explained to him the terrifying function of Shisui Sharingan, Orochimaru clearly realized that a partner was here.

Of course, as the time for turning around approaches, Orochimaru has no intention of hanging on a tree. If Shisui Sharingan's ability to modify thinking cannot be used on Pain, or there is simply no chance to use it on him. , then it can be used to deal with Uchiha Itachi or Hinata Ningqi.

At this moment, Orochimaru looked vague and didn't know what he was thinking.

A figure slowly walked out of the darkness. Kabuto Yakushi, a Konoha spy who once traveled around the world and is now Orochimaru's assistant, glanced at the package in Orochimaru's hand, then pushed up his glasses and asked softly. :

"Do you really want to help Konoha survive this crisis, Lord Orochimaru?"

He knew very well that his master once wanted to destroy the entire Konoha, but now he actually wanted to help Konoha survive the crisis?

Even if it is just to turn around the container, this 180-degree change of attitude is a bit too exaggerated...

"In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." Orochimaru turned his head and looked at Kabuto, with a strange smile on his face. "Do you think it is possible for me to return to Konoha, or even become the Hokage?"

"Huh?" Although he had known for a long time that his lord had some kind of paranoia about the position of Hokage that would not last forever, but when Kabuto heard it with his own ears, he was still a little surprised and speechless.

Let a rebellious nin become Hokage... Konoha, is there no one left?

"It's unlikely..." Kabuto said tactfully.

Orochimaru glanced at him sideways and explained calmly:

"It's unlikely. That's because the people in Konoha still feel that the benefits I bring to them are not big enough."

"If it was Konoha during the peaceful period when Sarutobi-sensei was still in power, that would be really unlikely."

"But if Konoha is facing destruction and has to seize everything it can, as long as Danzo can take over and ensure the continuation of the war, I will find a suitable time and smoothly go from behind the scenes to In front of the stage, not only can I wash away the mark of rebellion on my body, but also with the achievements I have achieved with the dirt turning technique, and Danzo's cooperation on the stage, it is only natural for me to take over Danzo's authority as Hokage."

Kabuto thought about it for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly widened. Only then did he realize that the cooperation between Orochimaru and Danzo was not just a superficial exchange between you and me, but also involved a deeper exchange of interests.

Danzo is obsessed with power, but he actually doesn’t have much of a team, and the Shimura clan doesn’t have enough outstanding descendants. As long as he takes the position, he can whitewash Orochimaru as an ally and push him to the position of candidate for the sixth generation Hokage. It is the only option for him to maintain his subsequent influence after leaving office.

Just like Sarutobi elected Namikaze Minato, who was born as a civilian, as the fourth generation Hokage, Namikaze Minato did not have many cronies. The only thing he could rely on was the power of Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was highly respected at the time.

Orochimaru, who returned to Konoha as a rebellious ninja, was also weak and had to rely on the strength of Danzo and his subordinates. Danzo could continue to control Konoha through Orochimaru.

Based on Kabuto's understanding of Orochimaru, he probably has only one obsession with making up for his shortcomings in the position of Hokage. What he likes is research and experiments, which really makes him sit in the Hokage's office and deal with a lot of messy affairs. , not realistic.

And Danzo, who has worked with Orochimaru for more than ten years, probably knows his temperament very well.

It is indeed a match made in heaven between these two people.

"Haha, 'Hokage is judged by merit'. It's rare for Sarutobi-sensei to wake up... It's a pity. It would have been better if this war had broken out ten years earlier."

As the alarm sounded, more and more Konoha ninjas were shuttled one after another. Orochimaru looked at this scene, put on his hood, shook his head and sighed, and then slowly disappeared among the woods.

…

"We have decided to withdraw our troops," Jiraiya, who was wearing war-time armor, said straight to the point, looking at the people in the room. "A Konoha scout discovered the traces of Kumogakure's troops. In order to avoid the spy on the way, they deliberately left The Kingdom of Sand has detoured into the Kingdom of Fire and has lost its trace, but with their speed, they will reach Konoha in less than two days. "

"Beheading tactics..." Aburame Zhiwei, the leader of the Aburame clan, murmured softly, with an unsightly look on her face.

"Yes, they are planning to behead them, but Konoha has received intelligence earlier and has made sufficient preparations to deal with it. However, they have few people and cannot hold out for long. Konoha ordered us to go back quickly to support. "Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

"What about the battle situation here?" A Konoha Jonin glanced at the silent blue-haired woman in the corner and couldn't help but ask, "Recently, their jinchuriki Lao Zi was captured, Iwa Yin's attacks are more intense than usual, will they just let us evacuate like this?"

"If you don't let it go, you must evacuate," Jiraiya said, and also looked at the blue-haired woman, "Konan, Yahiko... no, Pain, is he really unwilling to hand over Lao Zi?"

"We can offer a lot of money."

"This has nothing to do with money." Xiaonan said calmly, looking at the lustful immortal who once taught him, Nagato and others.

This one of the legendary three ninjas of Konoha is extremely powerful, and has a completely different style of conduct from Orochimaru, another one of the legendary three ninjas who betrayed the Akatsuki organization not long ago.

Although their destruction of the Rain Country was inevitable due to the war, under the witness of Xiao Nan, the ninjas of Konoha were actually very restrained under the restraint of this lustful immortal, which made Xiao Nan's senses Much better.

"I know that the Akatsuki organization is an organization that pursues peace. We have no other intention of returning Lao Zi. We just hope to use it to restrain Iwagakure's retreat. I promise that we will not let the tailed beast in Lao Zi's body in the Land of Rain. "It started a riot," Jiraiya said sincerely.

Konan sneered.

Let the tailed beast in Lao Zi's body cause riots in the Land of Rain?

You dare!

Seeing her expression, she must be unwilling to release the Jinchuuriki she had obtained. Although Jiraiya didn't know why, he couldn't help but remind him:

"The danger of the tailed beast not only comes from the tailed beast itself, but also from the thoughts of the surrounding countries. It is not a good thing for you to hold it."

Jiraiya has also recently gathered some local intelligence in the Land of Rain, and knows that the original intention of the establishment of the Akatsuki organization is to quell the war and achieve peace through various means.

Although I don’t know where it feels a little weird.

But since it is such a peace-loving group, it is led by two of the three children he once stayed in the Land of Rain to teach. Although Uzumaki Nagato, the son of prophecy in Toad Sen's mouth, has disappeared, the Samsara Eye has also appeared for some reason. on Yahiko's face, but this does not prevent him from still feeling instinctively friendly towards this Akatsuki organization.

In particular, the other party helped him a lot by resisting Iwagakure's attack.

"This has nothing to do with you." Xiaonan shook his head.

The words of concern were spoken back, and Jiraiya touched his nose angrily, and then angrily mentioned a backup plan:

"Since you are unwilling to hand over the Jinchuuriki, will you accept the post-war employment? Just buy time for us to retreat."

"Don't talk about ending the queen. As long as you can afford the price, we can destroy Yanyin Village for you." Xiaonan said calmly.

Everyone in the room looked at her in surprise.

"Arrogant!"

"furious!"

Since Payne, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, didn't take action many times, and there were even fewer people who witnessed him taking action, not many people at the scene believed her words.

"How much does it cost?" a Konoha jounin asked casually.

Xiaonan said the number.

"How many detonating charms can I buy..." a trap ninja smacked his tongue.

Xiaonan glanced at him sideways and immediately replied: "About 600 billion."

"The conversion is pretty quick. You've already passed it, right?" Yamanaka Hai chuckled, "Why do you need so many detonating charms?"

Xiaonan tilted her head and said nothing.

Jiraiya waved his hand and asked why he was pulling so many useless things. He acted as if Konoha could really afford the price. He approached Konan and asked, "Can we really cut off the queen?"

"Okay." Xiaonan nodded, took two steps back, and distanced himself from the lustful immortal, "but the price is not cheap."

Although Jiraiya felt a little unbelievable, remembering the eyes he had seen before... depending on him, maybe it was possible.

"Don't force yourself." Jiraiya reminded, and then asked the price of the Akatsuki organization to cut off the main force of Konoha, and frowned.

"So expensive?"

He bared his teeth somewhat exaggeratedly and said:

"I'm your teacher, why don't you think it's cheap for me?"

Xiaonan looked him up and down and said, "It's just because I didn't consider you that I only have such a small price."

There was a burst of laughter in the room, and the stagnant air loosened a little. Jiraiya returned to his serious expression. He looked at Konan and said seriously:

"Thank you very much!"

"The deposit can be handed over to you now. As for the balance, there are not enough funds here, so you need to go to Konoha to get it."

Xiaonan looked at a large box of gold and silver jewelry brought by an ANBU, knowing that Jiraiya had probably already prepared money to ward off disasters, and... looking at Jiraiya's rogue expression, Xiaonan was a little amused. The ground shook his head: "This amount of money is a very low deposit ratio, and if Konoha is destroyed, who should we ask for the balance?"

Jiraiya raised his eyebrows: "What, you still want to chase a dead man for money?"

Xiaonan didn't have time to argue with him, so she made it clear directly: "If you want to hire us to help fight against Kumogakure, the price we negotiated before will not be enough."

After his little idea was exposed, Jiraiya sighed: "We can't even afford the pension, where can we get the money for you?"

"The tailed beast can offset the debt."

"Aha, you've been tested by me, Xiaonan. There is something wrong with you. I really don't understand now. What do you want with so many tailed beasts? Do you know what you are doing? Do you really understand how dangerous this is? What's the use of the tailed beasts you got? The situation is special during the war. After peace, those countries will still ask you to spit out all the tailed beasts you have eaten!"

"Leave the Eight-Tails to us and give you the title, free of charge."

"Hey, Xiaonan, Xiaonan, in fact, we in Konoha can do this kind of thing ourselves, and we don't need to bother you mercenaries at all. I'm not talking nonsense to you, but really, what's the use of Kumogakure's group coming all the way here? What? We have already prepared a response plan, as well as a secret weapon specially designed to deal with Kumogakure. You are not afraid at all. This time, you are my students, so I will give you this opportunity to fight against the Eight-Tails. "

"Although the opponent's strength is not very good, I still have to advise you to pay attention to it. How many people are there in your Xiao organization? You must seize such a precious combat opportunity, and it is best to pull them all over."
