Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 376 The F4 Reunite in the Pure Land

Pure Land, where Mitomon Homura's soul went after his death.

Koharu Utatane also died, and if nothing unexpected happened, her soul must have gone to the Pure Land. However, Homura Mitokado did not see Koharu Utatane.

Homura Mitokado was unable to let go of the fact that Orochimaru had killed him, but he was dead, and there was no point in saying anything now.

I just hope Orochimaru is killed too.

Although Orochimaru possessed a Rinnegan, his audacity in infiltrating Konoha and killing two advisors inside the Hokage Building was truly heinous.

If Orochimaru escapes, where will Konoha's reputation be?

Although Jiraiya, as the Hokage, was a friend of Orochimaru, he was still able to stand firm on matters of principle.

In Jiraiya's heart, the village was definitely more important than Orochimaru.

Putting aside Orochimaru's past crimes, killing just two advisors is unforgivable!

This matter can't be kept secret any longer; many people in the village will see it.

"Given the village's strength, as long as Jiraiya is determined to kill Orochimaru, the chances of Orochimaru escaping are slim," Mitokado Homura thought.

If only I could encounter Orochimaru's soul in this pure land.

"Flame?" In the distance, a spirit noticed Mitomon Flame and was surprised.

Mitokado Homura looked over and saw Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Seeing Sarutobi, Mitokado Homura still harbored some resentment.

After all, Orochimaru was Sarutobi's disciple.

Back then, it was Sarutobi who, out of kindness, let Orochimaru go.

If Sarutobi had been ruthless back then, Orochimaru wouldn't have been able to escape at all; he would have either been imprisoned or killed. In that case, Homura Mitokado wouldn't have been killed by Orochimaru.

This made Mitokado Homura harbor some resentment towards Sarutobi.

As they got closer, Sarutobi saw that it was indeed Mitokado Homura and quickened his pace to run over.

"Yan, you're dead too? How did you die?"

Sarutobi was surprised to discover that Mitokado Homura was also a ghost.

Mitokado Homura was a Kage-level ninja and an advisor to Konoha, and he had a calm and cautious personality. So how did he die?

Died of old age? Or from illness?

Or was he murdered?
Sarutobi was very curious about how Mitokado Yan died.

"I was killed by Orochimaru. That guy Orochimaru infiltrated the village and killed me inside the Hokage Building, and he also killed Koharu." Mitokado Homura's tone was full of resentment, resentment towards Sarutobi.

Sarutobi was stunned after hearing what Mitokado Homura said.

Orochimaru?
Sarutobi was astonished that Orochimaru not only infiltrated Konoha, but also dared to kill two advisors at the Hokage Building.
"This can't be!" Sarutobi simply couldn't believe it.

It can be said that Sarutobi watched Orochimaru grow up and had a good understanding of Orochimaru's character.

Although Orochimaru went astray, it shouldn't have gone this far!
Therefore, even though Mitokado Homura said it himself, Sarutobi still couldn't quite believe it.

"That's just the way it is," Mitokado said coldly.

"Orochimaru probably doesn't have that kind of strength!" Sarutobi said, frowning.

Sarutobi also had a fairly clear understanding of Orochimaru's strength.

"Hmph, Hiruzen, you underestimate your disciple. Orochimaru has a Rinnegan." Mitokado Homura continued.

Sarutobi was even more surprised.

"What?! The Rinnegan?" Sarutobi was even more incredulous.

When talking about the Rinnegan, Sarutobi thinks of Madara Uchiha and the Otsutsuki clan.

In fact, those who possess the Rinnegan can all be said to be members of the Otsutsuki clan.

Madara Uchiha was a descendant of Indra, who was the son of the Sage of Six Paths. The Sage of Six Paths was the son of Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was a member of the Otsutsuki clan from outer space.

Therefore, the Uchiha are also descendants of the Otsutsuki clan.

According to what was revealed before the light curtain disappeared, Madara was resurrected and also seized Hashirama's power.

As for Madara transplanting the Rinnegan into Nagato before his death, he also took it back after his resurrection.

Sarutobi finds it hard to believe that Orochimaru stole one of Madara's eyes.

After all, Madara's strength was already very strong, surpassing that of the First Hokage. After seizing the First Hokage's power, Madara's strength became even greater. In the face of such power, Orochimaru was nothing but sand!
So how could Orochimaru possibly steal Madara's eyes?

If someone from the Otsutsuki clan from outer space came to Earth, and was one of the weaker members of the clan, Orochimaru could probably use some tricks to get rid of them. In that case, it would be understandable if he were to steal a Rinnegan.

“That is indeed the Rinnegan, and it’s the Rinnegan that Madara Uchiha possessed,” Mitokado Homura continued.

Sarutobi: ...

Since encountering Mitokado Homura in the Pure Land, Sarutobi's surprises have only increased.

Sarutobi was surprised when he saw the ghost of Mitokado Homura.

Upon learning that Mitokado Homura was killed by Orochimaru, Sarutobi was even more surprised.

But then it was revealed that Orochimaru possessed the Rinnegan, and that the Rinnegan on Orochimaru's body was taken from Madara.

All of this left Sarutobi utterly astonished, completely surprised.

For a moment, Sarutobi was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"It seems I underestimated Orochimaru before!" Sarutobi exclaimed.

Sarutobi even wondered if choosing Minato back then was the right decision.

If Orochimaru had become the Fourth Hokage, things would definitely have been different; perhaps better, but perhaps worse.

"Orochimaru has gone down the wrong path. If he becomes Hokage, it won't be good for Konoha. In comparison, Minato is much better," Sarutobi thought to himself.

Therefore, he was right to choose Minato as the Fourth Hokage.

However, Sarutobi was also somewhat deceiving himself.

In reality, although Minato was strong and had a high reputation in the village, he was a commoner ninja with gentle methods and a sunny personality.

Although Orochimaru's birth was not much better than Minato's, their generation was different.

Orochimaru's reputation in Konoha is no less than Minato's, and the support behind Orochimaru, as well as his style, are enough to pose a threat to the F4.

Even after Minato became Hokage, the F4 still held considerable power, and even if Minato wasn't a puppet, he wasn't much better off.

However, if Orochimaru becomes Hokage, the power of the F4 will only continue to shrink.

Orochimaru might even resort to some extreme measures.

After all, Orochimaru wasn't as sunny as Minato.

But now, after learning from Mitokado Homura that Orochimaru had taken one of Madara's eyes, Sarutobi realized that he had underestimated Orochimaru's abilities.

Mitokado Homura also sighed. Sarutobi underestimated Orochimaru, but so did he.

As they chatted, Sarutobi and Mitokado Homura strolled around the sacred land.

There's not much to see in the Pure Land.

It's very monotonous.

Not long after, he encountered Xiaochun, who was switching dorms.

The three of them reunited and had even more to talk about.

Koharu Utatane also complained that Sarutobi had taught a disciple like Orochimaru.

In Koharu Utatane's view, Orochimaru's killing of her and Homura Mitokado was an heinous crime.

Now that Orochimaru has infiltrated Konoha and killed two advisors, it's unthinkable what will happen next.

"Orochimaru is probably going to destroy Konoha." Koharu Utatane wasn't exaggerating; she genuinely felt that way.

Upon hearing Koharu's words, Sarutobi's expression turned serious, and he began to think carefully.

Is Orochimaru really going to destroy Konoha?
Sarutobi was a ninja who was willing to sacrifice himself for Konoha, and the village was still very important to him.

If Orochimaru were to destroy Konoha, Sarutobi would find it unacceptable.

So, is Orochimaru going further and further down the wrong path?

Sarutobi sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat guilty for not guiding Orochimaru onto the right path sooner.

It's too late to say anything now.

Suddenly, two Danzos appeared in the distance. Sarutobi and his two companions exchanged a glance.

Now, F4 is reunited.

What? There are 5 people? That's still F4, considering there are 2 Danzos among them.

The two Danzos also saw Sarutobi, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu.

"Emura and Koharu are dead too?" Danzo was also surprised.

Besides being surprised, Danzo was also curious.

When Danzo asked, it was Koharu Utatane who spoke first.

From Koharu Utatane's words, Danzo also learned that Orochimaru had killed Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.

"Orochimaru?" Danzo seemed to be thinking.

To be fair, Danzo did admire Orochimaru quite a bit.

In Danzo's view, Orochimaru was the same kind of person as him in many ways.

If Danzo were the Hokage, he would definitely have heavily relied on Orochimaru.

Danzo felt that Orochimaru's research ability was far more important than his physical strength.

With Orochimaru's research capabilities, he could completely enable Konoha's technological level to make a huge leap forward.

Unfortunately, Danzo never became Hokage before his death; in fact, he was a rogue ninja.

This was also what Danzo found most unacceptable; to die was bad enough, but to die as a rogue ninja was even worse.

Danzo dedicated his entire life to Konoha. Although he had some selfish motives, he was not a traitor.

As for Danzo wanting to become Hokage, it was because becoming Hokage was his obsession.

Furthermore, Danzo also wanted to prove himself.

Danzo was also surprised to learn that Orochimaru had taken one of Madara's Rinnegan eyes.

Orochimaru's performance was quite unexpected.

"Orochimaru might send Madara back to the Pure Land in a while," Danzo suddenly said.

Upon hearing Danzo's words, Sarutobi, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu were all stunned.

Danzo's words undoubtedly meant that Orochimaru would kill Madara.

But is this possible?
It doesn't seem entirely impossible.

After all, Orochimaru was able to steal one of Madara's Rinnegan eyes.

Madara lost one of his Rinnegan eyes, so his strength would inevitably decrease, while Orochimaru gained one, so his strength would increase. With this shift in power, the gap between them narrowed.

Therefore, it's not entirely impossible for Orochimaru to kill Madara later.

At least Danzo had a lot of confidence in Orochimaru.

"Hiruzen, you should have listened to me back then. If Orochimaru had become the Fourth Hokage, Konoha would definitely be better off. Your choice of Minato was a mistake. Minato was good, but he was still inferior to Orochimaru," Danzo said to Sarutobi.

Sarutobi, however, did not look well.

“Minato is the most suitable Fourth Hokage,” Sarutobi said with a serious expression.

Regardless, Minato was the Fourth Hokage chosen by Sarutobi.

Minato performed quite well after becoming the Fourth Hokage.

"Hmph, Orochimaru is the most suitable. Everything has come to this because you, Hiruzen, didn't listen to me. Now, you regret it!" Danzo sneered.

Regret?

Sarutobi's expression grew even colder: "I am the Hokage."

Two Danzos: ...

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu: ...

Even Sarutobi himself was embarrassed after realizing what had happened.

It's almost a conditioned reflex.

But the scene is different now. It used to be in the Hokage's office, and Danzo would often slam the door and leave. Replacing the door to the Hokage's office would be a financial expense.

But now, Danzo can't find a door to slam down!
Without slamming the door, it's soulless.

The two Danzos were also in a bit of an awkward position.

……

Konoha.

Two advisors were killed by Orochimaru, and the Hokage Building was destroyed.

Furthermore, all the ninjas in the village who had contracts with Ryuchi Cave went to Ryuchi Cave via reverse summoning and have not returned, so they must have all met with misfortune.

This time, Konoha suffered heavy losses.

Even Jiraiya was furious.

If Orochimaru were standing in front of Jiraiya, Jiraiya would definitely kill Orochimaru.

Previously, Jiraiya hoped that Orochimaru could return to Konoha, repent, and stop making the same mistakes, but Orochimaru disappointed Jiraiya.

This time, Orochimaru really went too far.

But Orochimaru went to Ryuchi Cave.

Once Orochimaru emerges from Ryuchi Cave, he will certainly no longer be in Konoha, and we have no idea where he will be.

In short, it won't be easy to see Orochimaru again.

As for Jiraiya, he did not make a contract with Ryuchi Cave, but rather with Mount Myōboku.

Even with reversed summoning, Jiraiya could only go to Mount Myōboku, but not to Ryūchi Cave.

However, the three holy sites are still connected.

If the toad clan of Mount Myōboku can help, Jiraiya can also go to Ryūchi Cave.

However, the toad clan of Mount Myōboku would not easily help Jiraiya go to Ryūchi Cave.

Although the three sacred sites are related, the Myoboku lineage and Ryuchi Cave have a rather poor relationship, while Myoboku and Shikkotsu Forest have a better relationship.

But Jiraiya still planned to visit Ryuchi Cave.

So, Jiraiya first made arrangements in the village, and then he used Reverse Summoning.

Using a reverse spirit communication technique, Jiraiya arrived at Mount Myōboku.

Upon arriving at Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya did not first see the Great Toad Sage, nor the Fukasaku Sage or the Shima Sage.

He just ran into Gamabunta.

Then, Jiraiya went directly to find the Great Toad Sage.

Fukasaku and Shima are below the Great Toad Sage.

It looks like the giant toad hermit is asleep.

As soon as Jiraiya arrived, Fukasaku and Shima gave him a look.

It means that Jiraiya should not make any noise so as not to disturb the Great Toad Sage's rest.

Jiraiya refrained from speaking.

However, the Great Toad Sage still woke up.

Upon waking up, the Great Toad Sage looked at Jiraiya.

"Little Jiraiya, what's wrong?" the Great Toad Sage asked.

Jiraiya didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.

The Great Toad Sage was quite surprised to learn that Jiraiya wanted to go to Ryuchi Cave.

Fukasaku and Shima then asked even more questions.

Jiraiya then revealed that Orochimaru had fled into Ryuchi Cave.

Several other Konoha ninjas entered Ryuchi Cave, only to be killed by Orochimaru.

This made Jiraiya extremely restless in the village.
