Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 165: Konoha struck first.

"Hmm, perhaps we could destroy Konoha first, then kill Uchiha Itachi. I'm not picky," Bai Ye said nonchalantly. Anyway, he was invincible, so it was up to him.

Orochimaru stared blankly at Byakuya, not expecting the other party to make this request.

"Do you think that with Sasuke's current strength, he can survive after you leave and lose Konoha's protection?" Orochimaru asked rhetorically.

"That's why I need you. After I leave, Sasuke will be in your care," Byakuya said.

After all, Sasuke was the coordinate that brought him to this world. If something went wrong, he wouldn't be able to revive him even though they were in another world.

I have complete confidence in Orochimaru's ability to take care of children. This guy's teaching ability is truly tailored to each student's aptitude, and he can teach anyone to achieve something, regardless of their personality.

"To be honest, I'm a bit conflicted right now; there are too many choices."

Bai Ye sat on the Verdant Track with some distress: "Is it simply to destroy Konoha Village, or to rule the entire Land of Fire, or to defeat the entire ninja world by myself? It seems like I can do each of these things easily."

"If it's about ruling the entire ninja world, I've already ruled one planet, so I have no motivation to continue ruling now."

Looking at the pensive Bai Ye in front of him, even Orochimaru felt that he was too arrogant.

He actually thinks he can defeat the entire ninja world by himself? Does he think that everyone in the ninja world is a woman and he can take advantage of her?

"So help me," Bai Ye said, looking up. "After I destroy the entire Hidden Leaf Village, you can take over its management, how about that?"

"What is your purpose in life? Immortality or absolute power? I can easily achieve either," Bai Ye said.

"It seems I have no reason to refuse." Orochimaru chuckled sinisterly. "In that case, with Byakuya-kun's help, it seems I need to devise a new plan to destroy Konoha."

"A plan?" Bai Ye asked doubtfully, "Does destroying Konoha really require a plan? Isn't that giving them too much face?"

"Isn't this the kind of thing that can be solved simply by doing something if you're willing? Why go through all that trouble?" Bai Ye asked.

Orochimaru: ...

In the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his subordinate ninja's report: "You mean, Madara Uchiha's Impure World Reincarnation was successful?"

The ninja bowed his head and said, "Yes, Hokage, we have tried, and all the ninjas, including the First Hokage, have been sealed away. There is no need to worry about Orochimaru summoning them again."

"Is that so? It seems the future of the ninja world will be less troublesome." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then was drawn by the sounds coming from outside the building.

"What are they arguing about outside?" Hiruzen Sarutobi wondered, then got up and went to the window, only then did he hear the content of the commotion outside.

"The Ninja World War can be lost, but Byakuya must die!"

Outside, countless villagers gathered and shouted, trying to get Hiruzen Sarutobi to take action against Byakuya.

"This..." Sarutobi hadn't expected this to happen, and looked at the villagers below with a troubled expression.

His thoughts on Byakuya were different from others. After seeing Byakuya's chakra reserves, which were like those of a tailed beast, he thought about trying to recruit Byakuya into Konoha, or at least befriend him.

Unfortunately, Konoha is not just the Konoha of Hiruzen Sarutobi. The fact that these villagers were able to cause such a big commotion is definitely due to the fact that various powerful clans were secretly pushing things along.

After all, because of Bai Ye's incident, all the female heirs in their family were too afraid to leave their homes, which had a terrible impact.

These powerful clans couldn't act directly, so they planned to resolve everything in the name of the villagers.

The commotion here has now attracted the attention of the entire village.

"These guys."

In the corner, Naruto Uzumaki, who had originally been hostile to Byakuya, felt a little pity, because the scene before him was so similar to his childhood.

Not long after, Hiruzen Sarutobi came out of the building, and the scene became even more enraged upon seeing him.

"Hokage-sama, I absolutely disagree with letting Byakuya stay in Konoha!"

"Konoha Village absolutely cannot take in Byakuya, otherwise even the village's beautiful widows will be pregnant in a month."

"The Third Hokage is foolish! To prevent Konoha from falling into ruin, Byakuya cannot be allowed to stay!"

……

Seeing the angry crowd, the third generation was completely overwhelmed by public opinion and didn't know how to appease them.

After a long silence, he said loudly, "Everyone, calm down. The things that happen in books may not happen. I've talked to Bai Ye, and he's not as evil as you all think."

However, his words did not have much effect; the villagers simply did not accept the explanation given by the three generations and their attitude was very strong.

Meanwhile, on the other side, seeing this scene unfold, several men secretly returned to their small house.

"The plot has completely gone off the rails, and we are at great risk of exposure, as there is no part of us in the book at all."

A white man covered in mecha said worriedly, "As soon as we make a move and show some strength, Konoha will become suspicious. We don't even know who that anonymous person is, but he actually revealed everything about the future."

"I can already sense that our presence has attracted Konoha's attention, and we could be exposed at any moment."

At this point, the white man gritted his teeth.

These people are the reincarnators who have entered this world, and this white reincarnator is the one who was previously spared by Bai Ye.

Their mission was related to the Konoha Crush plan, but with the release of the Book of Prophecy, things spiraled out of control. Orochimaru disappeared, and without a goal, they didn't know what to do next.

"What should we do now? Orochimaru has disappeared, and the Konoha Crush plan is nowhere to be seen. If this continues, we'll be wiped out by the God of War because of our low scores," a reincarnator said worriedly.

……

"Mr. Byakuya, the Hokage is looking for you." Inside the inn, Orochimaru had already left, and an Anbu ninja quietly arrived and spoke.

"Oh, is it because of the villagers?" Bai Ye asked.

"The Hokage only said he wanted you to come over; I know nothing else," the Anbu whispered.

"I understand." Bai Ye nodded, then followed the Anbu out of the inn.

Before long, he discovered that although the path the ANBU was leading him to was leading to the Hokage Building, it was becoming increasingly remote.

"Interesting, so it's the root." Bai Ye didn't show it on his face, just quietly followed behind the Anbu, waiting for him to make his move.

After walking a while, as they turned a corner in an alley, a flash of light appeared, followed by blood splattering across the entire wall.

Bai Ye withdrew his hand, and the ninja's head exploded like a watermelon hit by a hammer. The long sword in his hand lost its strength halfway through the swing, and after swaying twice, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground in front of him, Bai Ye smiled and said, "Don't blame me for being ruthless. It was Konoha that started this."
