Chapter 160: Seiya Solo Root Dungeon

After hearing what Orochimaru said, Mei Terumi was obviously stunned for a moment, and her expression soon began to become hesitant.

"The person who was with you, the Fifth Mizukage, was Kaguya Seiya, right?
And since he has returned to the Hidden Mist Village, you, the Fifth Mizukage, should also be quite clear about how Kaguya Seiya was "resurrected", right?
So, don't you want him to be truly resurrected? Your Kirigakure is in great need of high-end combat power right now, right? And you, the Fifth Mizukage, even brought him with you on your mission to Konoha, which shows you have a good relationship, right?"

To be honest, at the beginning, Mei Terumi had actually decided to stand on the side of Konoha. After all, any discerning person could see that the so-called "Konoha Collapse Plan" would never succeed after Jiraiya returned to Konoha early.

However, facing the conditions proposed by Orochimaru, Mei Terumi still hesitated.

Although it's risky to kill the Third Hokage together with Orochimaru, if Seiya can really be resurrected...

"Mitsu-sama, please do not believe what Orochimaru says. I don't need to tell you how cunning and dangerous he is. You must have heard about it a long time ago.

The Fourth Kazekage here is Orochimaru, which means that the real Fourth Kazekage is probably in danger. Cooperating with such an untrustworthy person is undoubtedly digging one's own grave."

Seeing the hesitation and struggle on Mei Terumi's face, the Third Hokage, who had been as steady as an old dog, now began to panic.

He was already old, and even if he faced Orochimaru alone, he would not have much confidence. If the Fifth Mizukage was added to the mix, then he would really have no chance of winning.

The Third Hokage didn't know how powerful the Fifth Mizukage was, but anyone who could become the Kage of a village must have something special.

And it was because they had the same idea that Orochimaru expressed his willingness to cooperate with Mei.

When he came to Konoha this time, Orochimaru had originally made full preparations to kill the Third Hokage, but now there is another Fifth Mizukage, so Orochimaru is also worried that something unexpected might happen.

"Hokage-sama, if I can help you defeat Orochimaru this time, I wonder what benefits Konoha Village can bring to us, the Hidden Mist Village?"

Faced with the conditions put forward by Orochimaru, Mei Terumi did not agree to the other party directly, but turned to look at the Third Hokage beside her and asked.

After hearing Mei Terumi's question, the Third Hokage realized that it was impossible to get it for free. If he could not give the Mizukage satisfactory conditions, the other party would most likely choose to defect to Orochimaru.

"If Lord Mizukage is willing to lend a helping hand this time, then our Konoha Village can sign a peace treaty with the Hidden Mist Village and return the three ninja swords that our Konoha Village had previously confiscated on the battlefield to the Hidden Mist Village."

The Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist Village are well-known blades in the ninja world. Unfortunately, for those who don't know how to use them, they are undoubtedly just ordinary collectibles.

However, the Seven Ninja Swords are of great significance to the Hidden Mist Village, and the Third Hokage also believes that such a bargaining chip is enough to make the Mizukage lend him a helping hand.

"Hokage-sama, having only three ninja swords may not be enough. Besides that, I also want to obtain the technique of Impure World Reincarnation.

Of course, I can assure you that I will not use this technique on Konoha ninjas, and I will never teach this technique to a second person.

If Lord Hokage can agree to these two conditions, then not only Orochimaru, but also the Sand Ninja who invaded Konoha this time, our Kirigakure will also give our all to help."

The technique of "Immortal Reincarnation" is not only a forbidden technique, but also a secret technique recorded in the Naruto scroll. Only the Hokage and the direct disciples of the Hokage are qualified to learn it.

The Third Hokage knew very well that Mei Terumi was simply asking for too much, but given the current situation, he had to make corresponding choices.

The reason Mei Terumi put forward this additional condition was simple: she wanted to find a way to resurrect Seiya. Even if she did cooperate with Orochimaru, she couldn't tell if he would deceive her. So, why didn't she just acquire the Impure World Reincarnation technique and then slowly research it herself?

If it were before, three ninja swords would indeed be enough to satisfy Mei Terumi's appetite, but now that it involves Seiya's resurrection, Konoha Village will have to spend more money.

After all, compared to the importance of Seiya, let alone three ninja swords, even seven ninja swords have to stand aside!
As long as Seiya is really resurrected, then Mei Terumi will get married... ahem, the key point is that the Kaguya clan can continue in their Kirigakure!
While Mei Terumi and the Third Hokage were trapped in the Four Purple Flame Formation, Seiya on the other side, after a burst of white mist covered his body, used the transformation technique to directly turn into the appearance of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru transformed into the Fourth Kazekage to attack the Third Mizukage, while he transformed into the other's appearance to attack others. This should be reasonable, right?
Because a large number of Sand Villages are like this, Konoha is now in chaos. Even the patriarchs of Konoha's major bloodline families have chosen to come out and fight.

Of course, there are people who are sitting on the Diaoyutai at the moment, such as a man who has been taking the blame.

The base at the root of Konoha is no secret to Seiya, a time traveler.

There was a raging war outside, and the Third Hokage was even trapped in the Four Purple Flame Formation. Now the only Anbu ninjas who could remain motionless were the Root ninjas of Konoha.

Seiya had just invaded the Root when many Root ninjas who had noticed him chose to attack him. Unfortunately, the difference in combat power between the two sides was too great. Before these ninjas who were bullying the enemy could make a move, they were pierced like a hornet's nest by the bone spurs that grew out of Seiya's body.

Seiya, holding a bone knife, killed people all the way, but Danzo, who was hiding in the dark, seemed to be quite patient and never showed up.

Not until he had slaughtered nearly half of the Root ninjas, and even beaten Danzo's two most loyal lackeys, Yamanaka Fuu and Aburame Togen, half to pieces, did he finally walk out slowly in front of Seiya.

"You are not Orochimaru, who are you? Why do you know this place, and who let you come here!"

Looking at Danzo who was slowly walking out from the shadows, Seiya slowly pulled out a bone spur that had pierced the heart of the root ninja, and then his eyes when he looked at the other party became quite amused.

"If I am not your partner, Orochimaru, who else could I be? I am just using a new vessel as my body.

Don't forget, we were buddies who dug up the First Hokage's grave together and designed the plan for Konoha's collapse together. Now you, Danzo, pull up your pants and pretend you don't know me, are you planning to let me take the blame for you..."

"Shut up! There's no way you're Orochimaru. I don't know who you are, but since you know so many things you shouldn't know, and you've even come here, I'll just ask you to die!

As for your origins and purpose, I will search for the answers on your corpse after you die."

Although Seiya knew about his secret collusion with Orochimaru, which surprised Danzo, the Orochimaru that Seiya pretended to be was basically fake in Danzo's eyes.

Not to mention that he had received intelligence and had long known that the real Orochimaru was now fighting with the Third Hokage. Just in terms of temperament, Seiya could not imitate Orochimaru's gloomy and perverted atmosphere.

"That's such a coincidence, not only do you want to kill me, but the reason I came here is actually to kill you.

Or to be more precise, I don't want you to die yet, but I want to use you to accomplish something and then kill you."

Seiya is looking for trouble with Danzo, but it's not just because he hates this person. After all, he is now a Kirigakure ninja, not a Konoha ninja. Danzo's thick face and black heart are none of his business. Anyway, the other party has always been cheating their Konoha ninjas.

The main reason why Seiya looks for Danzo at this critical juncture is because he is attracted by his body...ah, he is attracted by what is in his body.
