Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

There was an X-shaped seal on the door and the lock had been replaced with a new one.

After she was declared a traitor, all her property was taken back, even her original house was confiscated.

She tore off the seals casually and cut the lock on the door open with her sword.

Xiyan walked into the yard.

The air flow around them suddenly became unusual. Xiyan's ears moved and she drew her sword and stabbed out.

Swish~

Blood gushed out, and with two "thumps", two figures suddenly fell to the ground.

Xiyan walked into the house without looking back, picked up the tools and started cleaning.

After cleaning every room, she walked into the yard again.

The two bodies that had just fallen on the ground had disappeared. It seemed that they had been carried away by someone.

Only a few pools of bright red blood remained on the ground.

Xiyan sneered a few times, picked up the bucket and filled it with water, and cleaned the floor.

In a room somewhere of the Hyuga clan, Hizashi was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a respectful attitude, sitting opposite him were three gray-haired old men.

These three people are all elders of the Hyuga family. Generally, they will not interfere in the management of the family unless it concerns the survival of the family. Everything is left to the current head of the family to decide.

But at this time, Hiashi was not there, Hinata was still young, and there was no one in the clan who could make important decisions, so the three of them had to step forward.

After returning from the Senju mansion, Hizashi asked to see the three clan elders and told them what Tsunade had said.

Hiashi lowered his eyes silently, waiting for the three thoughtful elders to speak.

After a long time, the old man in the middle sighed slowly and said, "I'm afraid that in the eyes of many people, the Hyuga clan has already sided with Tsunade..."

"She stopped Hiashi on purpose..." said another old man.

"Hiashi, go do it." Finally, the old man in the middle said in a deep voice.

Hizashi understood what they meant and stood up to leave.

It was late at night, but the two family-oriented men, Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi, did not go home, but stayed at Nara Shikaku's house drinking.

Nara Shikaku smiled bitterly in his heart.

The Pig, Deer and Butterfly tribes have always been of the same blood. He knew that his two good friends were waiting for him to come up with ideas.

"Shikaku, stop playing dumb. What should we do?" In the end, it was Akimichi Chozu who couldn't help but speak first.

"Don't do anything. If the Third Hokage wins, everything will remain the same as before. If Lady Tsunade wins, then you will start to sit on the bench." Nara Shikaku said calmly.

"But..." Akimichi Choza hesitated.

"Everyone knows that we are pro-Third-Kage Hokage. If we suddenly turn our guns around and run to Lady Tsunade's camp, will we be respected?" said Nara Shikaku.

Shan Zhong Hai Yi hesitated for a while and then expressed his concerns.

"If Lady Tsunade wins, will she settle accounts with those of us in the clan who didn't support her?"

"That depends on whether the funeral is really a funeral..." Nara Shikaku said dimly.

Similar discussions were held within other families, and the results they reached were similar.

Let’s take a look first and then talk.

The next day.

Uzumaki Naruto returned to the ninja school.

Still not many people take the initiative to make friends with him.

The students from those families showed little change in their attitude toward him.

Civilian students have mixed feelings.

Although they don’t have as many twists and turns as adults, these children are actually very precocious and very conflicted.

They were worried that Naruto would hold a grudge, but they were also worried that if they approached him now, it would be seen as an attempt to curry favor with him.

Naruto propped up his head, his thoughts drifting away.

Why is life still different from what he imagined?

Except for the discussion about Naruto's life experience.

There were other rumors circulating privately in Konoha Village.

I don't know where the rumor started, nor do I know who was the first person to start it.

More and more people began to talk about it. They said that the Third Hokage had actually died a long time ago and was being impersonated by someone, which was why he had repeatedly done things that harmed Konoha in the past decade or so.

The spectators were very satisfied and felt they had gained a lot.

Some sentimental people couldn't help but start to worry. Is Konoha going to be finished?

Outside Konoha Village, in the dense forest.

A one-eyed old man with a bandage on his head, holding a cane, and two of his men were standing somewhere.

After a while, a long-haired man with pale skin and snake-like pupils appeared in the sight of several people.

Orochimaru looked at Danzo Shimura, who had asked him out, with an inquiring look. He licked his tongue and an unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.

"If you're wasting my time on boring things..."

Orochimaru has been in a very bad mood lately.

After Uchiha Itachi joined the Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru became restless and couldn't help but attack Itachi, intending to take away Itachi's body.

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Itachi didn't even use Susanoo, but defeated him with just the Tsukuyomi of his left eye.

Orochimaru was easily defeated by a junior, and was devastated, so he left the Akatsuki organization directly.

Now, he is being hunted by members of the Akatsuki organization.

Shimura Danzo showed a strange smile on his face, "Orochimaru, I found a way to achieve immortality."

"Oh?" Orochimaru showed disdain, obviously not believing it.

"Besides, there is an old friend who wants to see you." Shimura Danzo said with a smile.

There was a rustling sound of footsteps. Orochimaru looked in the direction of Shimura Danzo's sight. He couldn't help but look cold, "Why, are you going to arrest me?"

Jiraiya walked out of the dense forest.

Shimura Danzo shook his head, "No, we want to explore the method of immortality with you."

Orochimaru raised his brows slightly and looked at the two of them in confusion, but he couldn't help sneering in his heart. A man like Jiraiya who pursues justice actually has times when he cooperates with Danzo Shimura and me.

Jiraiya took out a sealing scroll with an expressionless face and threw out the two White Zetsu corpses inside.

Danzo Shimura walked over, placed the corpse of White Zetsu in front of Orochimaru, and introduced: "This thing has lived for thousands of years. As long as we can crack the secret of it, we can..."

Before he finished speaking, Orochimaru couldn't help but ask, "Where did you catch it?"

Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "You said he lived for thousands of years?"

There was disbelief in his voice.

Of course he knew White Zetsu.

But he absolutely couldn't believe that Bai Jue had lived for thousands of years.

Regardless of whether it is possible or not, assuming it is true, a person who has lived for thousands of years, even if he only refines chakra every day, his strength can reach an incredible level.

But Zetsu in Akatsuki organization never showed that kind of strong strength in him.

Moreover, that guy had always been ordered around and was only regarded as a logistical personnel collecting intelligence.

Orochimaru thought calmly in his mind.

Jiraiya felt that Orochimaru's reaction was a bit strange, "Orochimaru, have you seen him?"

Chapter 107 Third Hokage, You Fake

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya with interest, then looked away indifferently.

"I've seen this thing before."

"Where is it?" Jiraiya asked.

"Akatsuki organization." Orochimaru said lightly.

Although Akatsuki warned him not to leak the organization's information, Orochimaru wouldn't care.

If he was really afraid of Akatsuki, he wouldn't have left Akatsuki without saying a word.

"Akatsuki?" Jiraiya muttered to himself, "What secrets does Akatsuki have?"

"You have to investigate this yourself. You may find unexpected surprises." Orochimaru said meaningfully.

Jiraiya fell into deep thought.

Pointing at the corpse of White Zetsu on the ground, Orochimaru continued to ask Shimura Danzo, "Did they really live for thousands of years?"

Shimura Danzo shrugged, "If you don't believe me, go ask Jiraiya. He knows better than me."

"Orochimaru, if you want to know more, we can exchange information." Jiraiya had regained his composure at this time, and said to Orochimaru who was looking at him.

"Haha, Jiraiya, you've become cunning too..." Orochimaru couldn't help but twitch his lips and laughed.

...

Five days passed quickly, the coffin that Tsunade ordered was ready, and the day she mentioned had arrived.

The residence of Mao Yue Xi Yan.

Early in the morning, she walked out of the house, intending to meet up with Tsunade and others.

On the way, two ninjas blocked her way.

The white-haired ninja wearing a mask had no expression on his face.

The ninja with a kappa hairdo and wearing a green tights grinned with his white teeth.

"I thought no one would come to kill me again." She said indifferently.

Might Guy looked at her with a regretful look and said, "Xiyan, wrong youth..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiyan drew her sword and attacked him.

If you say a few more words, you might lose.

Might Guy's strength is obvious to all, and Xiyan also knows that he has strong explosive power, and she doesn't want to wait until he opens the Eight Gates.

"Ah, I'm not ready yet..." Might Guy shouted.

Next to him, Kakashi said nothing, took out the White Fang Sword that his father had used, and fought against Xi Yan.

Use Hatake swordsmanship to counter her swordsmanship.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Kakashi had met Tsunade, and he also knew that Tsunade had used Hatake Sakumo as an example.

Now asking Kakashi to come and kill Uzuki Yugao is also a test.

If he and Might Guy killed Uzuki Yugao together, that's good, proving that his loyalty has not wavered.

If it is not completed, it must be a leak.

Kakashi understood what the Third Hokage meant, but he still felt conflicted.

It's not because of Uzuki Yugao that he's troubled, but because of his father's matter...

Might Guy could clearly feel that his friend was not trying his best, and he didn't even show his Sharingan.

Might Guy sighed inwardly and his attack speed began to slow down.

If the Third Hokage wants to blame, let him be blamed as well.

Xiyan glanced at the two silent people, and the frequency of swinging the sword in her hand also decreased significantly.

In silent understanding, the three began a protracted tug-of-war.

...

On the streets of Konoha.
