Chapter 776 Hiruzen Sarutobi, You've Gone Mad
Those who frequently switch dorm rooms...
"There was an explosion over there. Looks like your men were intercepted?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi heard the explosion outside the village and frowned. He then escaped Jiraiya's attack again: "It seems the Exploding Heaven Organization has made its move. They've already engaged with the Edo Tensei?"

"Heh. Do you think those few people are stronger, or the hundred-strong army with the Impure World Reincarnation technique?" Shimura Danzo was calm and composed. He looked at Qin Yu with a hint of confidence in his tone: "A hundred immortal soldiers are not so easy to deal with. Even the First Hokage would have to exert all his strength to seal them. The hundred-strong army might even wear down the First Hokage!"

Since forming the 100-man Undying Legion, Shimura Danzo was incredibly confident that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he could quickly resolve the battle and then proceed with the mission of annihilating the Uchiha clan.

While a few individuals might be easily sealed away, a hundred elite ninjas... could not possibly be wiped out.

"Are you sure it's impossible to find those who were resurrected through Edo Tensei?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked again, his tone still carrying a hint of doubt.

"Don't worry... they've already hidden in a safe place, it's almost impossible for anyone to find them," Shimura Danzo said, then added, "I have thirty more men coming to support us from the other side!"

"Danzo, just how many people have you resurrected?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned upon hearing that there were even Edo Tensei users coming to support him.

It seems Danzo was hiding his true intentions quite well; even Danzo himself didn't know he had so many Edo Tensei users... So, even during the battle, he couldn't help but ask.

because,

He feared that Danzo would get out of his control.

"That's all, only 130 people in total!" Danzo answered seriously this time: "This operation came too suddenly. If you gave me enough time, I might be able to bring out an army of a thousand men for you!"

"However, these 130 people are enough to change the landscape of Konoha."

This time, Danzo smiled with great confidence!
In fact, he never expected to make a move during everyone's exam. Who would have thought that Hiruzen Sarutobi's grandson would be so stupid as to directly control the reanimated Uchiha clan members to commit atrocities?

Then, just as Jiraiya and Tsunade attacked the Root base, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

There's no way to salvage it now.

Then we can only destroy and then rebuild; there can be no change whatsoever.

"Hmph, it seems you value your life quite a bit, leaving thirty men to deal with the situation here!" Hiruzen Sarutobi had clearly tacitly agreed with Danzo's statement, and then slowly spoke... his tone laced with sarcasm.

"There's no other way; the current situation is a bit difficult to manage, so this is the only option," Danzo continued with a smile. "Just in case something unexpected happens, we can still deal with it!"

"You're just afraid of dying!" Hiruzen Sarutobi sneered. "Don't worry, with me here, you won't die!"

Danzo merely sneered at Hiruzen Sarutobi's words and remained silent.

With Hiruzen Sarutobi around, he won't die?

Only a fool would believe that. Once things settle down in Konoha, the first thing Hiruzen Sarutobi will do is kill this menace of his own.

Even before, Hiruzen Sarutobi had always wanted to kill him. It was just that he had always been wary of him, so Hiruzen Sarutobi had no way to do so.

Seeing that Danzo remained silent, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't continue speaking either, but instead continued fighting Jiraiya. Now that he knew reinforcements were coming, Hiruzen Sarutobi was no longer in such a hurry to kill Jiraiya.

After all, once those thirty resurrected beings arrived, they could wear Jiraiya down to death. Therefore,

While fighting, Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Jiraiya, "So this is Sage Mode? As expected, the student has surpassed the master. This old man is no match for you anymore!"

"Heh. People always have to grow, and also... you don't necessarily have to use evil ninjutsu to become stronger!" Jiraiya knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was stalling for time, but he was also somewhat helpless at the moment.

Here in Konoha, he dared not use any large-scale destructive ninjutsu, fearing that such techniques would harm innocent people around him.

Both sides can only remain in this stalemate.

Relatively speaking, this situation is ultimately advantageous to Hiruzen Sarutobi. However, in Sage Mode, Jiraiya is confident that he can hold out against Hiruzen Sarutobi for a full day and night.

such,

Xuan Yu said that he should have already resolved the potential troubles, right?

The Great Toad Sage once said that Genyu would quickly resolve the internal strife in Konoha.

Therefore, Jiraiya was also wasting time with Hiruzen Sarutobi, hoping that Genyu would arrive soon.

"Hmph, Jiraiya, do you still think that the ninjutsu I used was evil?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya, clearly disappointed by his thoughts: "I wanted to change Konoha, change the ninja world's structure, and restore peace to the ninja world... You don't understand me at all, nor do you understand everything I've done for Konoha and for the ninja world."

"I want to end the war in the ninja world and let everyone live together in peace!"

Towards the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi almost went mad.

Everything he did was for Konoha, for the ninja world. As he kept saying it, he even started to believe it himself.

"Heh... In the end, your current thoughts are the same as Madara Uchiha's when he left Konoha—you want to unify the ninja world by force. But Madara Uchiha relied on his own strength, while you relied on sacrificing the lives of others!" Jiraiya spoke, his tone extremely calm: "What right do you have now to say that the Uchiha clan is an evil clan? You... and your clansmen, and everyone who participated in the Impure World Reincarnation, are the evil ones!"

Jiraiya continued rambling on, seemingly trying to bring Hiruzen Sarutobi to his senses with his words.

"No, no..." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head: "You still don't understand me... The biggest difference between me and Madara Uchiha is that Madara wanted to change the ninja world through the power of one person or one clan, but his strength was not enough. However, I wanted to use all the forces in the ninja world to unify the ninja world. Those who sacrificed themselves for the Edo Tensei are messengers of peace!"

"Once my plan succeeds, I will erect a monument for those who died as a sacrifice!"

"Let all of you know what they've done for the ninja world."

The more Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, the more insane he became. His already disheveled hair trembled as he spoke, making him appear even more like a madman.

A complete madman.

Jiraiya looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and spoke with some reluctance... his eyes filled with disgust:
"You're insane, Hiruzen Sarutobi! You've completely gone mad..."

He was just talking to a madman.
