Chapter 111 - The Most Failed Hokage
Four Violet Flames Formation.
Orochimaru also exhibited Impure World Reincarnation and summoned two coffins. When the third coffin with ‘3rd’ was halfway through, it was stopped in time by Sarutobi, just like in the original work.
PA!
PA!
2 sounds and 2 coffin plates slipped off.
The First-Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and Second-Hokage, Senju Tobirama, are reflected in everyone’s eyes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen: “You dare to fool the dead… playing with time and space, such a terrible thing!”
Things developed here are very similar to the original work.
But when Orochimaru inserted the curned Kunai into the back of the head of two corpses, the sound that made him fear appeared again from his mind: “Orochimaru… Ah, Orochimaru. What’s wrong? Facing the teacher you care about makes you delirious?”
Orochimaru turned pale with fright in reality. Now, in this crucial moment, a little careless, and he will fall into the sewer.
To avoid Sarutobi Hiruzen figuring this out, Orochimaru immediately restored the natural expression and quickly exchanged words in his mind: “What is your purpose?!”
“What are you nervous about? Are you afraid I will suddenly control your body during your fight? I won’t do it; you can rest assured. As for the purpose… there’s no purpose. I’m just interested in your relationship between master and disciple.”
The appearance of Li Yaoxiang made Orochimaru shudder. He didn’t dare to relax his guard. For the first time, he showed his emotions unabashedly: “Don’t crack a joke with me again! Tell me something!”
“It’s nothing…… I just want to remind you; isn’t it strange? How did the old man in front of you stop you from casting the 3rd coffin ‘Impure World Reincarnation’?”
“Also, do you really think Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is famous throughout the Ninja World, is a soft-hearted person? Will he really send someone to arrest you because he can’t stand you for human body research? Danzo worked well with you, and why did he have to abandon you at this time? Don’t you realize that all of this began when you studied Impure World Reincarnation?”
Hearing it here, Orochimaru’s heart tightened, and numerous probabilities emerged in his mind instantly. He asked, “What are you trying to say?”
After saying those words, it’s a pity that he can never get a response from Li Yaoxiang.
Only because of Li Yaoxiang’s reminder, when he looked towards the old fogey in front of him again, his eyes were a little different!
Be insidious and cunning.
Seeing these eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a faint feeling.
Orochimaru licked very excitedly… licked the corner of his mouth and said playfully: “Old fogey… you don’t have to be stupid in front of me.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyes were fixed: “I don’t understand what you mean.”
Orochimaru controlled the two puppets and attacked!
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s Fire-Style prevented the attack of two people. At this time, Senju Hashirama directly exhibited Deep Forest Creation, making the entire space in Four Violet Flames Formation tightly sealed!
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen took this move.
Not only can’t you see the inside, but you can’t hear the sound inside!
The treacherous mockery of Orochimaru sounded again at this time: “No one has heard our conversation even until right now. Do you need to be stupid again?”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about!” Sarutobi Hiruzen replied, summoned the Monkey, and solved the roots of the whole body for him.
Orochimaru: “How did you stop me from performing ‘Impure World Reincarnation’?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen even forgot to struggle and was stunned there.
Monkey: “Hey! Hiruzen! What are you doing? Distracted in battle?!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen responded by resuming his actions, but he did not intend to answer Orochimaru’s question. Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen responding in this way, Orochimaru’s emotions are even more exciting.
“Old fogey… I’m curious–, can you help me out?”
“Second-Kage develops the Ninjutsu Impure World Reincarnation. Obviously, Konoha can become very powerful without fear of anyone. Why do you… resist this Ninjutsu so much?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen condensed again. He was in a trance. He was even injured by Second-Hokage with only 30% strength and was fiercely scolded by Monkey.
Orochimaru continued excitedly: “What’s wrong? You worry that one day, there will be some people to summon the First-Kage and Second-Kage. Are you scared to see them?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen: “Enough, Orochimaru! Don’t talk nonsense here!”
Orochimaru: “You are afraid that they will find that the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan have disappeared under your leadership, right? You won’t know how to face them? Or are you afraid that they will retaliate against the current Konoha? Revenge upon you? That’s why you four elders put so much effort to prevent me from studying Second-Kage’s “Impure World Reincarnation Technique”, right?”
Speaking of it, even Monkey couldn’t help but look at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a strange look. But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t even answer Orochimaru’s questions and continued to struggle with First-Kage and Second-Kage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who feels that he is incapable, is preparing to use the ‘Ghost seal’, just like in the original work, tries to seal the souls of First-Kage and Second-Kage.
But just when he just wanted to do a hand seal, Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence descended.
[*TL note: Hashirama Senju creates a dense growth of trees, controlling how it grows using his chakra. The trees’ life force is immense enough to split the earth as they sprout and further pierce through any other obstructions they encounter. This growth is also fast enough that it can capture targets before they have a chance to escape. Hashirama used this technique to serve as a foundation for Konohagakure; none other than Hashirama have been capable of such a feat.]
All Ninjutsu of the enemy suddenly flinched back.
The two expressionless Puppets, First-Kage and Second-Kage, also returned to Orochimaru.
Sarutobi Hiruzen apparently gasped and firmly stared at Orochimaru: “What do you mean by this?”
Not only was Sarutobi Hiruzen puzzled, but even the crowd of Anbu ninja watching outside was also puzzled. They didn’t understand why Orochimaru, who had the upper hand, would suddenly withdraw all the offensives. Orochimaru ignored everyone’s gaze.
With pity on his face, he looked at the former teacher in front of him. “Old fogey… didn’t you…?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen: “Orochimaru, stop being mysterious!”
Orochimaru: “You didn’t notice… we fought for so long. Why didn’t anyone come here to help you?”
……
One of the borders of Konoha Village.
At this time, several giant snakes were raging and destroying here at this border.
An Anbu ninja rushed here hurriedly: “Lord-Jiraiya, you are here!”
“Un.” Jiraiya nodded, “Let me deal with these big snakes.”
Seeing that Jiraiya misunderstood what he meant, Anbu ninja quickly explained: “But Third-Hokage…”
Jiraiya didn’t wait for him to finish. He leaped directly towards the serpents.
After the Anbu ninja left, Jiraiya was standing on the high fence and muttered to himself: “Old fogey, hope you don’t die.”
……
Might Guy, who learned Eight-Inner Gates, and Kakashi, who hid Mangekyo Sharingan, are solving opponents here and rescuing some of the wounded.
For these enemies, dealing with them is extremely easy.
However, they all have a tacit understanding of the war between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru. The more fights, the farther and farther they fought.
……
The place where Gaara’s trio and Twelve-Youngest Strong are.
The two sides confronted each other for a long time.
Akimichi Choji has even started to eat snacks.
Seeing that no one meant fighting, Nara Shikamaru first started to talk: “Naruto, Third-Hokage may be in danger, shall we go back to help first?”
Naruto looked towards Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru’s direction of engagement. He said lightly: “We’ll just stay here, and we don’t have to take care of their affairs.”
……
One of the core locations of Konoha Village.
Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Shimura Danzo are all directing the actions of several hundreds of ninjas of Konoha up and down here.
An Anbu Ninja came here hurriedly, calling the three old fellows one by one.
The Anbu Ninja said urgently: “Lord-Hokage is at the losing end. Please also send all-Lords to rescue as soon as possible.
Shimura Danzo gave him a cold glance: “Our mission is to ensure that every villager will not be hurt! Third-Hokage is not as vulnerable as you think!”
Anbu ninja: “But…”
Shimura Danzo: “Enough! If you have time, you might as well go to help loosen the Loose Practitioner group, don’t waste time here!”
After Anbu ninjas and all the staff were assigned their respective missions, the three people, glancing at each other, who stayed at the scene, did not speak, and everyone said nothing.
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s decisions over the years really disappointed them, and everyone’s ideas gradually became different.
They have long been on the same front in dealing with Sarutobi Hiruzen.
……
The screen returns to Four Violet Flames Formation.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around. He sensed everyone’s Chakra location, but when he found out that everyone’s location was not approaching him, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew what was going on.
That’s right!
What Orochimaru said is the status quo of Konoha!
Konoha is so big, no one has thought of coming to save him, this Third-Hokage that weakened Konoha!
Because of his very ruthless discipline, Orochimaru wants to kill him.
Because of his unrelenting love disciple, Tsunade left Konoha.
Because of his indulgence to Shimura Danzo and his kindness to Shimura Danzo, Jiraiya of Senjutsu was busy dealing with the serpent, but did not come to save him.
Might Guy, who can meet Eight-Inner Gates, didn’t come back to save him.
Kakashi, who hides Mangekyo Sharingan, did not come back to save him.
Naruto, who knew he was hijacked by Orochimaru, also did not return to save him.
His indecisiveness led to getting along with his old partners of several decades, and now they all treat him dead. There were at least thousands of ninjas up and down Konoha, but they couldn’t send people to come here to rescue him.
This is the result of his Third-Hokage and Sarutobi Hiruzen’s careful management of Konoha for several decades.
All betrayed him!
