Starting with Wood Release, he survives in Konoha Hospital and becomes a big shot.

Just before the ninjutsu was completed, Orochimaru suddenly opened his mouth, and a completely new Orochimaru broke free from his bound body.

Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique.

“Interesting…” Orochimaru looked at Ming Shiyin, a hint of greed in his eyes.

If he could obtain Ming Shiyin's corpse, could his research break through? Could he even recreate this miraculous bloodline limit on his own body?

"Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, is indeed quite strong." Ming Shiyin looked at Orochimaru crawling out of his mouth and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

hum!

The armillary sphere floating on Ming Shiyin's shoulder rotated slightly, with dark purple light flowing within it, drawing everyone's attention to this wondrous object.

Many people had noticed the armillary sphere long ago, but they didn't recognize it, so they chose to ignore it for the time being. But at this moment, the armillary sphere suddenly started to rotate, which forced everyone to look at it.

Ming Shiyin made a gesture with his right hand, and the celestial globe floated in his palm.

Immediately, Ming Shiyin smiled slowly and looked at Orochimaru.

"The divination says you are a traitor!"

Everyone was stunned, staring at Ming Shiyin in disbelief, before turning their attention to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is a traitor?

What does it mean?

At this moment, Orochimaru's eyes also showed a hint of shock.

What he's about to do, probably nobody knows...

But how could this person know that I was going to betray Konoha?

Is it truly a flawless plan?

"Hmph! Playing tricks!"

A cold snort came from the crowd, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to it.

The speaker was from the Uchiha clan. As a member of the Konoha Police Force, he had long disliked Ming Shiyin.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

boom!

Flames suddenly surged forth, heading straight for Ming Shiyin. The power of this ninjutsu was extremely strong, indicating that the person who used it had exceptional talent in fire-style techniques, and the power of the fire-style techniques they unleashed was far greater than that of ordinary people.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

……

With the first person taking action, a large number of Uchiha ninjas immediately began to join forces.

As one of the founding clans of Konoha, they would never allow anyone to challenge their authority, and the credit for killing intruders must belong to the Uchiha clan.

The flames immediately began to spread, and the villagers stared in disbelief at the sight.

"Is this the Uchiha clan?"

"So strong!"

"No wonder they dared to be so arrogant and domineering!"

……

Among the crowd, a young woman holding a baby stood beside Kushina, looking proudly at the blazing fire.

The baby seemed to be drawn to the firelight, staring intently at the sky as if watching a grand fireworks display.

Not far away, Yao Xing, who was being held by Tsunade, seemed to sense something and looked at the baby not far away.

"Itachi, look, this is the glory of our Uchiha clan!"

Whether the baby understood or not, it was unclear; it simply kept its eyes fixed on the sky.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Ming Shiyin's unrestrained laughter echoed throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and under the firelight, his appearance appeared even more eerie.

He stared indifferently in the direction of the Uchiha clan, and the celestial globe in his hand began to spin again.

"The divination says that the Uchiha clan will be wiped out!"

------------

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Ming Shiyin's Prophecy

The moment the words fell, the entire battlefield fell silent!

Everyone stared wide-eyed in horror.

The idea that the Uchiha clan, at the height of its power, would be wiped out is absurd.

Today, the Uchiha clan is the largest clan in Konoha. The Senju clan, which was once able to rival them, has been lost to the dust of history. Who would believe that such a powerful bloodline clan would be destroyed?

Moreover, the Uchiha clan is part of Konoha. If the Uchiha clan were to be destroyed, Konoha would have to arrive first. Doesn't this sentence mean that Konoha is going to be destroyed?

"Utterly ridiculous!" said the leader of the Uchiha clan with a sneer.

This person is none other than Fugaku Uchiha, the head of the Uchiha clan.

No one would believe such a prophecy, just as no one would believe Orochimaru would defect.

Although Ming Shiyin's words sounded like some kind of prophecy, how many people would believe what such a person said?

However, Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced in the direction of the Uchiha clan.

He may not know about other people's affairs, but he knows his own affairs best.

It is entirely possible that he might defect from Konoha.

Because his forbidden experiments had gradually penetrated into areas that Konoha could not tolerate, once exposed, his only option was to defect.

Besides, what harm is there in letting him defect from Konoha for the sake of eternal life?

But is the Uchiha clan really as safe as outsiders perceive it to be? Probably not. Orochimaru, however, was well aware of the conflicts between the Uchiha and the Konoha leadership.

"Wood Release·Tree Boundary Wall!"

A massive surge of flames came, but Ming Shiyin simply snapped his fingers, and a shield made of multiple wooden vines rose up in front of him, blocking all the flames.

These fire-style ninjutsu techniques, performed by Uchiha clan ninjas, appear overwhelming and incredibly powerful, but their actual offensive capabilities are truly worrisome.

Anyway, anyone who's watched Naruto knows that this thing can't kill anyone.

"Damn it, doesn't his Wood Release defense have any weaknesses?"

"Wood Release ninjutsu is said to consume a lot of chakra. He used Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees before, and he still has so much chakra left to use other ninjutsu. Could this person be a Jinchuriki?!"

"Why doesn't he need to form hand seals when using ninjutsu? He just snaps his fingers and shouts, and whatever he says comes to life?"

"Damn, I feel like he's even more powerful than the First Hokage."

……

The repeated setbacks caused the Konoha ninjas' expressions to turn grim. This mysterious man was far more difficult to deal with than they had imagined.

More importantly, his methods were very strange, unlike anything many of them had ever seen before.

What's most important in ninja battles? Strength is certainly one aspect, but intelligence is also a crucial element.

An opponent you know and an opponent you don't know can lead to completely different outcomes in a battle.

In the original Naruto manga, was Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, defeated by Pain because he was not strong enough? No! It was because he was unaware of Pain's information; otherwise, the outcome of that battle would have been uncertain.

In the end, it was Jiraiya who sacrificed his own life to obtain the information that Pain had no physical body, which helped Naruto defeat Pain in the crucial battle. Otherwise, Naruto might not have even had the chance to talk his way out of Pain.

At this moment, it is understandable that the many ninjas of Konoha are so cautious in the face of an unknown and powerful mysterious Wood Release ninja.

Of course, this result was not solely Konoha's doing. It was mainly because the people of Konoha noticed that although this ninja who called himself Ming Shi Yin acted decisively, he had not harmed a single Konoha ninja so far. Even the guards who had been controlled by the Advent of the Tree World were not in any danger.

If that's not the case, you'll see if the Konoha ninjas will fight you to the death.

"What is your purpose in entering Konoha this time?" the Third Hokage asked again.

Conventional methods are no longer effective. If the battle continues, the destructive power of the ninjutsu used next will be significantly increased. Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi wants to figure out Ming Shi Yin's purpose before the battle begins.

"As you can see, please borrow the Book of Seals," Ming Shiyin said with a light laugh.

"Borrow the Book of Seals? Who do you think you are? Why should we lend you the Book of Seals?" someone shouted angrily.

"Because of my strength!" Ming Shiyin's eyes suddenly narrowed, and the pressure from his long-held superior position emanated from within, which actually frightened the ninja into taking several steps back.

"Your Konoha, don't you also trample on other people's lives and invade other people's villages at will just because you are strong? Who is more noble than whom? Ha, what a laughable lie!" Ming Shiyin said with a sneer.

Many things in this world are neither right nor wrong, but simply a matter of perspective.

All the ninjas of Konoha showed anger on their faces at this moment.

Anyone who dares to trample on Konoha so recklessly must have a grave overgrown with weeds.

"Since it's all about strength, then there's nothing wrong with us killing you based on our strength. You brought this all on yourself," the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, said coldly.

Judging from Ming Shi Yin's words, this person seems to be a ninja from another country who came to Konoha with a desire for revenge, so there is no need to continue being polite.

"Whether you brought it on or not is another matter, but you, Hiruzen Sarutobi." Ming Shiyin stared intently at the Third Hokage in the distance, the celestial globe in his hand spinning again: "The divination says you will die at the hands of your own disciple!"

hiss!

Upon hearing this, many ninjas gasped in shock.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple, isn't that the Legendary Sannin of Konoha?

And right now, all three legendary Sannin of Konoha are here.

Is it really that blunt to say that the Legendary Sannin of Konoha would kill their master?

Wait a minute, this person just said Orochimaru would betray us, so could the person who killed the Third Hokage be...?

Without prior arrangement, everyone's gaze fell upon Orochimaru, even Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced over, his eyes flickering.

His disciple is indeed becoming increasingly uncontrollable. Not only is he getting closer to Danzo, but he also seems to be doing something quite mysterious, so much so that even he, the Hokage, doesn't know what he's up to.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it's only a matter of time before it takes root and sprouts.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. We Konoha ninjas would never betray our village, let alone do something like murdering our master." Suddenly, Jiraiya's voice resounded across the battlefield, and the firmness in it invigorated everyone.
