After struggling to stand up, Fukuhara Hiroyo looked around. Not far away, he saw Akimichi Tofu struggling in the snow, trying to stand up. And further away, Sarutobi Hiruzen, holding a golden cudgel, was walking towards the two of them, wanting to kill his two childhood friends.
Seeing Akimichi Tofu standing up trembling, Fukuhara Hiroyo smiled and said:
"Qu Feng, I knew you were not dead!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Qiu Daoqufeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked back:
"By the way, where's Orochimaru? Where did that guy go? Didn't he say he would help? Why hasn't he shown up yet?!"
As soon as Akimichi Qufeng said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was originally planning to pursue the victory, immediately stopped and asked in disbelief:
"You mean, Orochimaru?"
"Yes, Sarutobi, you heard it right, it's Orochimaru!" Akimichi Qufeng said with a smile:
"He is your most proud disciple, and also the traitor you forced out of Konoha. He has always remembered the great kindness you have shown him, and wants to repay you! If it weren't for him, do you think Fuyo and I would be so stupid as to stay here and wait for you to come?"
Fukuhara Hiroyo also said at this moment:
"Sarutobi, for the sake of our friendship, I advise you to turn back. Don't be attached to the position of Hokage anymore. This world is no longer a stage for people like us. Otherwise, look around you, who is standing with you? Not only have we parted ways with you long ago, but which of your three disciples chose to stay in Konoha? It must be hard to be alone!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked gloomy, but Akimichi Tofu continued:
"Ukiyo is not just a group of students and companions. Even his son couldn't stand what Sarutobi had done over the years. You don't know, right? After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, the eldest son of the Sarutobi family committed suicide by disembowelment with his wife. Only the newborn grandson was left alone in the world, extremely miserable. And the second son of their family also left Konoha and went to the capital to become one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. This guy is now truly alone!"
Hearing this, Fukuhara Hiroyo was also surprised:
"You said Shinnosuke committed suicide? How is that possible? He looked strong, how could he commit suicide?"
"What else could it be?" Qiu Daoqufeng sneered:
"On the night of the Uchiha extermination, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and his wife, as the leaders of the Anbu, also had their own mission. That was to check all parts of the Uchiha clan and look for any members of the Uchiha clan who had escaped the net. Once they saw any survivors of the extermination night, they would kill them without mercy. As ninjas, Shinnosuke and his wife completed the mission assigned by the Hokage perfectly. Three children who escaped by hiding in the well, a pregnant woman lying among the corpses, and a girl hiding in the closet were all killed by them."
After saying this, Fukuhara Hiroyo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen again, and was even more surprised at Sarutobi Hiruzen's cruelty. He shouted angrily:
"Sarutobi, you are Shinnosuke's father, why did you let your son carry out such a cruel mission? Don't you know that after carrying out such a mission, Shinnosuke's conscience will never forgive himself, and he will definitely commit suicide to apologize?"
"Of course he knows."
In the snow, Orochimaru, wearing a pink kimono, came leisurely. Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru chuckled and said:
"The Uchiha clan is extinct. The most likely candidate to become the Hokage of Konoha is the eldest son of the Hokage, Sarutobi Shinnosuke. But how many princes have ever been able to ascend to the throne normally? So Sarutobi Sensei deliberately arranged for Shinnosuke to carry out this cruel task. His purpose is to force Shinnosuke to die!"
As he spoke, Orochimaru walked in front of Fukuhara Hiroyo and Akimichi Tofu, and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen:
"It's been a while, Sarutobi-sensei."
"Orochimaru!"
Chapter 32 Naruto’s Awakening
"Orochimaru, couldn't you show up earlier?"
Seeing Orochimaru appear, Akimichi Tofu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to complain:
"If it's any later, we two old bones would have been left to collect our corpses!"
"Isn't it because I saw you two reuniting with old friends and chatting happily with Sarutobi Sensei that I couldn't bear to disturb you? Hehe, to be honest, the conversation you two just had with Sarutobi Sensei made me feel a lot! If it was you two who became the Third Hokage, Konoha wouldn't be so boring now!"
Looking at Orochimaru who appeared in front of him at the critical moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a gloomy expression:
"I didn't kill you at first, because I thought you would hide away and study some immortality technique. I didn't expect you to team up with Senju Ukiyo... It seems that I was too soft-hearted at first!"
"Hehe, Sarutobi-sensei, don't be ridiculous. Did you not kill me because you were soft-hearted? It was only because of Danzo's threat that you couldn't kill me at all!" Orochimaru sneered:
"Besides, do you really have the strength to kill me now? Look at your body. The battle just now lasted less than three minutes, and your breathing has become disordered. You are old, so retire while you can still breathe! Otherwise, as your disciple, I can only kill you reluctantly!"
“Indeed, I am old.”
After taking a breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen adjusted his breathing, and then said in a firm tone:
"But even though I'm old, I'm still the Hokage! I may not be able to kill you alone, but the Konohagakure led by me can definitely kill you!"
After that, there was a commotion around. It was seen that Uchiha Itachi led a group of Anbu ninjas and surrounded the area. It turned out that before entering Fukuhara Hiroyo's Ichihodo, Sarutobi Hiruzen had ambushed 30 Anbu elites around in advance. These Anbu ninjas basically had the strength of a special jonin, and Uchiha Itachi, the leader, was even at the level of Kage.
Looking at the huge crowd around him, Orochimaru smiled and said:
"Just to capture Ukiyo-sensei, you actually sent so many elite ninjas. Sarutobi-sensei, you really value Ukiyo-sensei! I wonder what some people will think of your importance."
After that, Orochimaru used the summoning technique to summon two coffins from the ground. When he opened the lids of the coffins, two familiar figures appeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"The First Hokage, the Second Hokage?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in surprise:
"Orochimaru, you actually mastered the Impure World Reincarnation!"
"Let's put off the surprises for later. Sarutobi-sensei, let's first let the two Hokages from the Senju clan see how you kill them all!"
As he spoke, Orochimaru formed a seal again. The reincarnated bodies of the First and Second Hokage gradually opened their eyes and looked at the old Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of them. The First Hokage Senju Hashirama asked in confusion:
"Who are you?"
"It's Sarutobi! I don't know how many years have passed, but you've aged like this."
The Second Hokage Senju Tobirama said as he looked around:
"It seems that someone has summoned us from the Netherworld through the Impure World Reincarnation, and wants us to fight you, Sarutobi."
Seeing that the two elders had regained consciousness, Fukuhara Hiroyo, as a junior, stepped forward and greeted them:
"It's been a long time, Uncle Hashirama, Uncle Tobirama."
"Who are you?"
Looking at the elderly and disheveled Fukuhara Hiroyo, Senju Hashirama guessed:
"Are you that kid from Ukiyo?"
Fukuhara Hiroyo nodded, and Senju Hashirama immediately smiled and said:
"Haha, I didn't expect that the silly boy who only knew how to study all day has become an old man now!"
"First Hokage, Second Hokage." Akimichi Touka stepped forward and greeted.
"Akimichi Tofu? You're old too. But you've lost a lot of weight. You must have suffered a lot over the years!"
"Not bad! At this age, I should be thankful to be alive."
"Hahaha, this is so funny! Those little kids who were playing all over the village are now old men! I didn't expect that I could still see such interesting things even after I died. Hey, where's Kagami? And where's Danzo and the others? Kagami should be the first Hokage of the Uchiha clan in Konoha! And Danzo has a quick temper, so he must have had a lot of quarrels with Kagami!"
As Senju Hashirama said this, the atmosphere around him gradually became silent.
"What's wrong? Did I say something I shouldn't have said again?"
"No, Uncle Hashirama. It's just..." Fukuhara Hiroyo hesitated for a moment and said:
"Kami didn't become Hokage, and he died in his twenties. As for Danzo, he is now the Dark Root of Konoha, mainly responsible for dealing with those shameful things in the village."
"How could this happen?" Senju Hashirama asked in surprise:
"It's understandable that Kagami didn't become Hokage, after all, he's from the Uchiha clan. But how could Danzo, such a sunny guy, be responsible for doing the dirty work?"
At this time, Senju Hashirama finally noticed the positions of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Fukuhara Hiroyo and Akimichi Tofu. Even when they were communicating with him, the three of them never let down their guard and were wary of each other.
"It seems like a lot has happened between you over the years!"
"Of course there are many things." At this time, Orochimaru said:
"My dear Hokage, you know that there is no Senju clan or Uchiha clan in Konoha now! After Sarutobi-sensei became Hokage, the Senju clan parted ways with Konoha, and the Uchiha clan was exterminated by the village because of rebellion. The two major families that once founded Konoha have now withdrawn from the stage of history."
"How could this happen?" asked Hashirama Senju in surprise.
Compared to Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, who knew the internal divisions of Konoha, could obviously understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's approach. However, when he saw how old Sarutobi Hiruzen was, and how he personally took action against Fukuhara Hiroyo and Akimichi Tofu, he couldn't help but ask:
"Sarutobi, you are not still the Hokage now, are you?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not respond when he heard this, which basically meant he agreed.
"I don't blame you for destroying the two major families, because no Hokage would allow a too powerful force to exist in Konoha. Families like the Senju and Uchiha are destabilizing factors in Konoha as long as they exist. The only thing I don't understand is why you are still the Hokage at this age? Is Konoha without a successor under your leadership? Or are you attached to your position and unwilling to give up the throne? Answer me, Sarutobi!"
Facing the teacher's questioning, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally said:
"I had already appointed the younger Fourth Hokage, but unfortunately he died young. So I had to come back again and take the position of Hokage for the second time at such an old age. It's not that I really want to die while occupying the position of Hokage, I can only say that this is fate! Tobirama-sensei, you should also understand this pain. After all, if it wasn't a critical moment, how could you pass the position of Hokage to me?"
"Then why did you fall out with Ukiyo and the others? Aren't they all your good friends? And Danzo too, why did you arrange him to do that kind of thing?" Senju Hashirama asked again.
"Because this is the Hokage, the first Hokage!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said firmly:
"Not everyone has the power comparable to that of a god like you, the First Generation. A true mortal who becomes a Hokage is doomed to have no one to understand him or share his burdens with. He or she has to appear bright on the surface, but be ruthless and decisive behind the scenes. He or she has to bear the pain alone, and even his or her children will become strangers in front of this responsibility. Being alone is the inevitable fate of a Hokage."
"If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say." Senju Tobirama sighed:
"But the fact that you have such awareness shows that you are qualified to be a Hokage, Sarutobi."
Senju Hashirama also realized the cruelty of the situation. He looked at the determined Sarutobi Hiruzen, then looked at the equally determined Fukuhara Hiroyo and Akimichi Tofu, and sighed:
"I remember that you two were very good friends when you were little. The Konoha Village at that time was filled with your laughter and playfulness."
"There are still children's laughter in Konoha Village now. In order to protect the children's laughter, I can only transform into Shura and eliminate all threats to Konoha!"
As Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, he ordered the surrounding ANBU elites to gather around him. And Orochimaru also activated the technique to control the Impure World Reincarnation bodies of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
At the same time, in Hiroyo Fukuhara's underground laboratory.
Uchiha Izumi sneaked in and saw Kabuto Yakushi sitting inside, seemingly waiting for him. Seeing Uchiha Izumi, Kabuto Yakushi smiled with satisfaction:
"Although Mr. Fukuhara is very capable in research, he is not good at judging people. He just wants you, Miyano-san, to leave as soon as possible, but I know that you are a good person. People like you will never watch your teacher die. So, Miyano-san, are you interested in working with me?"
Chapter 33: Pharmacist Kabuto's Thoughts
"You knew I would come back here, so you were waiting for me on purpose?" Uchiha Izumi asked in surprise.
"Of course." Yakushi Kabuto nodded.
"When I knew that you, Miyano-san, were also a ninja, and that you were very likely to have Kage-level strength, I realized that you would definitely come back here. Because as an excellent ninja, you would definitely find out that when Mr. Fukuhara built this underground laboratory, he also set up traps to destroy this laboratory."
As he spoke, Pharmacist Kabuto walked to the right side of the laboratory, stroked the wall and said:
"Behind this wall is the underground natural gas main pipeline of the Fire Nation's capital. In theory, only one detonating tag is needed to blow a big hole in the wall, and a large amount of natural gas will instantly fill the laboratory, causing a violent explosion. This is the backup plan that Mr. Fukuhara left in the laboratory based on his experience as a ninja. While destroying the laboratory, he can also take action against the Konoha ninjas who are chasing him."
"But such a trap can be hidden from others, but it can't be hidden from ninja elites like you and me. After such a long time of getting along, I think Miyano-san should have discovered these mysteries as I did. So if you come back and want to save Mr. Fukuhara, you probably won't leave the ready-made trap unused, and you will definitely leave some tricks here and then take action. As it turns out, my guess is correct."
Kabuto Yakushi's guess was correct. Uchiha Izumi really wanted to use the special structure of the laboratory to set a trap. When the time came, she could safely use the explosion of natural gas to cause chaos and fish in troubled waters. Of course, she also realized that Fukuhara Hiroyo might have made some preparations in advance, so this time she came to the underground laboratory more to check the situation.
But she didn't expect that Pharmacist Kabuto was already waiting for her here.
"You are waiting for me here, do you want to cooperate with me? Or does Orochimaru want to cooperate with me?" Uchiha Izumi asked.
"Of course it's me." Yakushi Kabuto affirmed.
Hearing this answer, Uchiha Izumi frowned slightly. Because according to the original story, Kabuto Yakushi was loyal to Orochimaru. She couldn't imagine that Kabuto Yakushi would secretly act without telling Orochimaru.
"Is there anything surprising about this? I'm a spy from Konoha, and once worked under Danzo's Root. Later, I defected to Lord Orochimaru, and was ordered by Lord Orochimaru to infiltrate the Akatsuki organization for a period of time. Isn't it normal for a small figure like me who wanders among various forces to have some thoughts of my own?" explained Kabuto Yakushi.
It's normal for others to do this, but it's not normal for you, Pharmacist Dou!
Uchiha Izumi said secretly, and then asked:
"What do you want to work with me on?"
"My goal is simple, to destroy Konoha!"
"Destroy Konoha?" Uchiha Izumi asked in confusion:
"As far as I know, Orochimaru is also a traitor to Konoha. If you really want to destroy Konoha, why don't you go directly to your boss? You can always ask me for cooperation in the name of Orochimaru, why do you have to act privately?"
"Indeed, Lord Orochimaru is a traitorous ninja of Konoha. According to common sense, traitorous ninjas often hate their original ninja village. But the problem is that Lord Orochimaru is not an ordinary ninja." Yakushi Kazuto spread his hands and said:
"As a disciple of the Third Hokage, Orochimaru has enjoyed a respected position in Konoha Village since he was a child. Even though he did not become Hokage and therefore had some resentment towards the Third Hokage, he did not have any hatred towards Konoha. In fact, if Konoha had not hindered the trend of the times, Orochimaru would not have been interested in fighting the Third Hokage."
"In the final analysis, Lord Orochimaru still has hope for Konoha. After all, it is his hometown, and Lord Orochimaru also hopes that Konoha can develop according to his will, rather than just being so dull. Lord Orochimaru will not destroy Konoha unless it is absolutely necessary."
"I see, that's why you're looking for me to cooperate with you since Orochimaru has no motivation to destroy Konoha!" Uchiha Izumi nodded slightly, agreeing with Kabuto Yakushi's statement to a certain extent.
After all, from the original work, Konoha first forced Kabuto Yakushi to do dangerous undercover work, and then abandoned him and Nono Yakushi to kill each other. If we really talk about hatred towards Konoha, Kabuto Yakushi is not much worse than himself. In contrast, Orochimaru has always enjoyed respect and preferential treatment in Konoha as a disciple of the Hokage. The attitudes of the two towards Konoha are naturally completely different.
Of course, Uchiha Izumi's recognition was only to a certain extent. After all, he was Kabuto Yakushi, one of the best ace spies in the ninja world. Unless Uchiha Izumi was out of his mind, he would not have believed him without a doubt.
"But, Kabuto-san, how can you be sure that I will destroy Konoha with you? Maybe I have no grudge against Konoha, but what reason do I have to cooperate with you?" Uchiha Izumi said:
"And Konoha is the leader of the five great ninja villages after all. If we only rely on the two of us, it seems impossible to destroy Konoha!"
