Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 267 Orochimaru: I have rendered service to Konoha and shed blood!

"Before I killed Danzo, he revealed a story from the past!"

Chiga's words drew the attention of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two.

The three of them didn't show any surprise on their faces; they just remained silent.

They all knew in their hearts that Shimura Danzo was killed by Chiga, but for various reasons, they wouldn't bring it up.

This way, everyone is happy.

But what do you mean by saying it so openly now?

They really treat us like family!

If word gets out that a high-ranking official in Konoha has been killed, no matter where Chiga comes from, he will find it difficult to stay in Konoha.

After a brief silence, Jiraiya and Kakashi Hatake turned their attention to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Neither of them had any good feelings towards Shimura Danzo. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, they would have both wanted to say: "Good riddance!"

Kushina and Chiga remained silent, watching Hiruzen Sarutobi, wanting to see how he viewed the issue.

The pressure immediately fell on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also knew why Chiga wanted to kill Danzo Shimura.

The Uchiha clan was destroyed by Shimura Danzo, and it would be strange if this genius young man from the Uchiha clan didn't seek revenge!

"Danzo is dead!"

Orochimaru looked at Chiga with great surprise after hearing the news.

Many of the high-tech gadgets that Shimura Danzo possessed were his creations, and he knew very well how difficult Shimura Danzo was to kill.

"Sarutobi-sensei, it seems someone is taking advantage of the situation! I wonder how Sarutobi-sensei plans to handle this?"

Orochimaru, seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's troubled expression, spurred him on.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was still figuring out how to resolve the situation when Orochimaru unexpectedly stepped in.

His eyes lit up; Orochimaru truly lived up to his reputation as his beloved disciple!

After organizing his thoughts, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly began to speak:

"Orochimaru orchestrated the Konoha Crush plan, causing chaos in the village and even colluding with the Land of Wind to assassinate the Hokage!"

"However, these are all just Orochimaru's self-deceptions. His real purpose is to target Root leader Shimura Danzo."

"This was an organized and planned operation, and Konoha failed to detect it in time, leading to the murder of Shimura Danzo!"

"As for the reason, that goes back many years!"

"Years ago, when Orochimaru was working for Root, he had many arguments with Danzo Shimura, and their relationship was extremely bad!"

"I discovered it too late. By the time I transferred Orochimaru away from Root, the two were already bitter enemies!"

"I never imagined that after all these years, Orochimaru would still hold a grudge!"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he almost believed it himself, looking at Orochimaru with a face full of grief and indignation, his eyes filled with extremely complex emotions.

He seemed to be grieving over the death of Shimura Danzo, and also lamenting that his beloved disciple would embark on a path of revenge.

After listening, Jiraiya said seriously, "Alas, Lord Danzo was a meritorious elder of Konoha, and he died at Orochimaru's hands like this. Sarutobi-sensei, Orochimaru must be severely punished!"

Kakashi Hatake nodded and said, "Lord Jiraiya is right!"

Orochimaru: "." No, I'm still here, and you're making me take the blame right in front of me? Are you even my teacher?!

At that moment, Kushina looked at Orochimaru with pity.

She was also getting tired of watching Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two act out their drama, so she said to Chiga, "Tell them what Danzo told you!"

Chiga nodded and then recounted the battle between Shimura Danzo and Hanzo of the Land of Rain against Nagato and his two companions.

"So that's how it is. It was Danzo's actions that changed Nagato and the others' principles!"

"So Pain is still Nagato right now!"

After hearing this, a trace of sorrow flashed in Jiraiya's eyes.

Jiraiya was deeply saddened by the corruption of his disciple, and felt that Danzo Shimura deserved to die.

Then, a look of relief appeared on Jiraiya's face.

After all, the intelligence he received back then was that all three of Nagato's companions had sacrificed themselves, but now he heard that two of them were still alive, one of whom was Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan.

Nagato possesses the Rinnegan and is very kind-hearted. In Jiraiya's eyes, he is the destined one to change the world.

"Nagato has gone astray, and as his teacher, I have a duty to bring him back!"

With this in mind, Jiraiya made up his mind that even if it meant sacrificing himself, he would definitely clear Nagato's name.

"Alright, now everyone knows why the Akatsuki organization has become like this."

"Now that the groundwork's laid, it's time to share the information that Kushina-sensei and I have to share with you!"

Chiga continued.

"Huh? This is just the beginning!"

Jiraiya exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, it's just a mere Akatsuki organization. You can find out this information by spending some time investigating."

"The information I'm about to tell you is something you can't find out through investigation; it's about the secret of the Rinnegan."

Chiga rolled his eyes at Jiraiya. If it weren't for the Akatsuki organization in this world, he wouldn't have bothered to say so much.

"The Rinnegan—there are very few records about these eyes. I never expected you to have information about them!"

Upon hearing that Chiga was talking about information concerning the Rinnegan, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others' expressions darkened, and they held their breath.

"The secret of the Rinnegan begins with..."

At this point, Chiga glanced at Orochimaru, who had been silent and acting as a mascot, and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, I almost forgot, Lord Orochimaru is still here!"

"What follows is for members only; non-Konoha ninja can't listen!"

"Hey you, come in and carry our Lord Orochimaru away!"

[Negative emotions from Orochimaru, emotion value +99!]

"Kid, if you do that, you won't get any information about Akatsuki members from me!"

Orochimaru snorted coldly, clearly unwilling to leave just like that.

He was originally very interested in the Rinnegan, otherwise he wouldn't have joined the Akatsuki.

Now that he's about to reveal some secrets about the Rinnegan to Chika, they're telling him to leave?!

Is this something a human being would do?

I was once one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, you know. What's wrong with letting me hear a little secret?!

"Exactly, exactly, what are those traitors doing here!"

Ignoring Orochimaru's resentful gaze, Jiraiya's eyes were full of laughter; he rarely saw Orochimaru suffer a setback.

"Jiraiya, you..."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru wanted to retort to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was prepared; his white hair wrapped around Orochimaru's mouth, sealing it completely.

Then he cut off his own hair and said to Tianzang who walked in, "Drag him away!"

Tenzo glanced at Orochimaru, whose negative emotions were overflowing, and also secretly looked at Senga.

He had reason to suspect that the guy did it on purpose.

Without saying much, he carried Orochimaru and left the Hokage's office.

After Tenzo had walked away, Chiga said, "Actually, Nagato's Rinnegan belonged to Uchiha Madara!"

"Where?!" ×3

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two let out a sound of disbelief.

The sound even reached outside the Hokage's office.

"Waaah."

Orochimaru struggled violently, and upon hearing the incredulous voices of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two, he realized that the secret of the Rinnegan was truly astonishing.

My curiosity exploded instantly!

Damn it, I've served Konoha and shed blood for it! You can't treat me like this!

[Orochimaru's attack breaks through defenses, mood value +100!]

[Orochimaru's attack breaks through defenses, mood value +100!]

Continuing to receive Orochimaru's negative emotions, Chiga's lips curled into a smile, and he continued, "Don't be so surprised. The specific information about this matter begins when I awakened my Mangekyou Sharingan and looked at the Uchiha clan's stone tablet!"

Chiga then recounted the whole story.

Madara Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan through Hashirama's cells and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and later, due to old age, he gave the Rinnegan to Nagato in order to return to his peak, etc.

These news were so shocking that it took Hiruzen Sarutobi and his two companions a long time to process them.

I even had some doubts about the veracity of what Chiga said!

Faced with criticism, Kushina stated directly:

"Of course it's true. When Chiga was trying to seize the Rinnegan, he was severely injured by Izuna Uchiha, who was summoned by Madara Uchiha. That's why he had no choice but to activate Ama-ishi-to and come to your world."

"The reanimated Uchiha Izuna is still inside Chiga's sealing scroll!"

With the physical evidence in hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two had no more questions, but Kakashi Hatake suddenly remembered something.

He looked at Qianhe and asked, "You've been to our world before? So this isn't your first time here? When was the last time you came, and where were you?"

"Hehe, you found out! Yes, I was the one who played Zabuza back then!"

"Oh, that guy named Chiba too!"

"Is it fun?"

Chiga said with a smile.

[Negative emotions from Kakashi Hatake, emotion value +99!]

I'm so funny, you ×&%￥#@……!

Kakashi Hatake was furious and almost attacked.

In that battle, he genuinely believed that his squad was about to be wiped out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't expected that the Chiba they had been concerned about was actually Chika.

The fact that Kirigakure didn't have such a powerful figure immediately relieved Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, he then thought of Zabuza Momochi.

No wonder, under the close surveillance of their secret service, they found Zabuza Momochi's strength to be nothing special.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Since it's Madara Uchiha's conspiracy, then the ninja world is about to be thrown into turmoil!"

"Our Hidden Leaf Village alone is probably not enough to stop them! We need the power of other major powers!"

Now Hiruzen Sarutobi understands why Kushina and Chika wanted to involve Kirigakure.

Madara Uchiha's strength is beyond question, and he has also secretly laid out so many schemes.

Although the Akatsuki organization is still in the stage of accumulating funds, it already has a full complement of personnel, but it is really no match for a single Konoha ninja village.

Jiraiya nodded in agreement, saying, "If we collect the Nine-Tailed Beast, none of the Five Great Nations can remain unaffected. We should use this information to convene a meeting of the Five Kage."

"Unite the five great nations to fight against the Akatsuki!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi made a decision quickly, but there was one thing that needed to be put on the agenda before convening the meeting of the five great nations.

He turned to look at Jiraiya and said in a deep voice, "Jiraiya, I am old enough!"

"If it weren't for Kushina's unexpected turn of events during this Konoha Crush plan, I might have truly been killed by that traitor!"

"If he continues to cling to the Hokage position with this crippled body, he'll become a laughingstock in other countries!"

Jiraiya understood what Hiruzen Sarutobi meant, but he truly did not want to become the Fifth Hokage.

In a flash, a figure he longed for day and night immediately came to mind.

"Sarutobi-sensei, you don't necessarily have to choose me, there's someone else!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was angry at Jiraiya for his lack of ambition, but he already understood Jiraiya's choice.

After all, ever since Minato's death, he had intended for Jiraiya to become the Fifth Hokage.

But this guy hasn't come back in the past twelve years, so he must really have no interest in the Hokage position.

"That's true, if it were Tsunade, she would definitely be the most suitable!"

"but."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he hesitated again. Jiraiya didn't want to become Hokage, but did Tsunade want to?

"Don't worry, Sarutobi-sensei, I'll persuade Tsunade!"

"I'm setting off to find Tsunade right now, and I'll definitely bring her back!"

As the saying goes, "Better to die for your friend than for yourself," Jiraiya went to great lengths to avoid becoming Hokage, and immediately made a promise.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, agreeing to Jiraiya's request.

After giving Jiraiya his instructions, he turned to Kushina and Chiga and asked, "By the way, Kushina, when are you two going back?"

Upon hearing this, Kushina turned her gaze to Chiga.

"Chiga, are you waiting for Uchiha Itachi?"

"Itachi actually had his reasons, you..."

Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately understood.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, it was undoubtedly unacceptable for Chiga to have the entire clan report to the Pure Land in one go.

The mastermind has been executed, and the executioner, Itachi Uchiha, will certainly not escape blame either.

This boy will not let Uchiha Itachi get away with it.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi still wanted to try, since Itachi Uchiha was making his choice from the perspective of Konoha Village.

Although this wasn't an order given by Hiruzen Sarutobi, I still bear some responsibility.

"Third Hokage, whether Itachi Uchiha will die is not something I can decide. I will bring him back to my world and tell the entire Uchiha clan about his deeds. The final judgment should be made by the Uchiha clan."

Chiga seemed to know what Hiruzen Sarutobi was going to say, and spoke directly.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only sigh and couldn't bring himself to make a request.

No one is more qualified to judge Itachi Uchiha than a member of the Uchiha clan.

The meeting of the five people was nearing its end.

After the disaster, Hiruzen Sarutobi still had many matters to attend to, so he simply waved his hand, dismissing Kushina and the other three from the Hokage's office.
