"Reasons?" Upon hearing this, Yakushi Kabuto sneered:
"Miyano-san, how many people in this world don't want Konoha to be destroyed? Let's not talk about the other four major ninja villages for now. For example, in the small countries in the center of the ninja world, such as the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass, which one doesn't want Konoha to be destroyed immediately so that they can take the opportunity to invade the territory of the Land of Fire and gain strategic depth? In the final analysis, except for the ninjas of Konoha itself, most ninjas in this world actually want Konoha to disappear! As for the method of destroying Konoha..."
Having said that, Pharmacist Dou adjusted his glasses out of habit and said:
"Miyano-san, do you know Uzumaki Naruto?"
"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
"Great, Miyano-san. I didn't expect that you not only have the strength of a Kage, but also know the name of Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I am becoming more and more curious about your true identity!" Yakushi Kabuto chuckled and said:
"Yes, the way I want to destroy Konoha lies in the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto!"
"Kabuto-kun, you are not planning to unlock the seal of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and use the power of the tailed beasts to destroy Konoha, are you?"
Uchiha Izumi shook his head and said:
"I have to remind you that although the Nine-Tails is the strongest of the tailed beasts, the Nine-Tails' power alone cannot destroy Konoha."
In fact, Uchiha Izumi also considered using the Nine-Tails to destroy Konoha. But when he thought of Uchiha Itachi, he knew that this was impossible. Because the Mangekyō Sharingan has a strong restraining power against the tailed beasts, even if the Nine-Tails really broke free from the seal, Uchiha Itachi could easily subdue the opponent with the Sharingan.
"Of course not. I am also a ninja from Konoha, so I naturally know Konoha's strengths. How could a single Nine-Tails destroy Konoha?"
Yaoshi Kabuto is obviously not that naive. His real thoughts are:
"What I really want to use is the forbidden technique that Lord Orochimaru just completed. The name of this forbidden technique is, Reincarnation of the Dead!"
Chapter 34 Master-Apprentice Inheritance System
"If we look at it purely from the perspective of Hokage, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is very good. Because when he first became Hokage, he realized the most critical problem facing Konoha, which is the stability and inheritance of power! In other words, the question of who can become Hokage." Yakushi Kabuto said:
"The stable inheritance of power is the cornerstone of all systems! A system that cannot stably inherit power, no matter how excellent the system itself is, is bound to be short-lived and will be meaningless to the world except for bringing chaos. This is why the Third Hokage resisted change, because before the issue of power inheritance is resolved, any change will only destroy Konoha."
"Those rising stars who rely on reform to rise to power will inevitably clash fiercely with the old forces over power. The old forces have not established the legitimacy of their power inheritance and can only maintain their rule through extreme violence. If this problem cannot be solved, no matter whether Konoha adopts the idealism of Mr. Fukuhara or the realism of Mr. Tofu, it will only bring endless disasters to the ninja world."
"The Third Hokage realized this problem, so he served as Hokage for decades, but in fact he was only doing one thing, which was to establish the Hokage succession system of master-disciple inheritance! He spent decades shaping a concept in Konoha: the position of Hokage can only be inherited by the Hokage's disciples, and the highest power in Konoha can only be in the hands of the Hokage lineage."
"The Third Hokage wants everyone in Konoha to know that only by working hard to become the Hokage's disciple can you have the possibility of inheriting the position of the next Hokage. If you are not the Hokage's disciple and do not have a master-disciple relationship with the Hokage, then no matter how high your prestige and achievements are, no matter how powerful your power is in Konoha Village, you will never be able to become a high-ranking official in Konoha!"
"It was based on this concept that the Third Hokage used almost cruel means to exterminate the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan. Not only because these two families were powerful, but also because they were the founding elders of Konoha. The Senju and Uchiha clans were born with the legitimacy to inherit the Hokage. And this legitimacy is precisely what the master-disciple inheritance system of Hokage cannot tolerate, so the Third Hokage had to wipe out the two major families in order to cut off this legitimacy."
"It is also for this reason that the Third Hokage forced the White Fang of Konoha, Hatake Sakumo, to death, and even his own son Sarutobi Shinnosuke. Because even though these two people were heroes of Konoha, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke was the son of the Third Hokage, they were not disciples of the Hokage, and if they were not in the direct line of the Hokage, they had no qualifications to inherit the Hokage. So when the prestige of the two made it possible for them to become Hokage, the Third Hokage had to let them die."
"Also based on this concept, some people made serious mistakes, but their endings were completely opposite to those mentioned above. For example, even though Danzo repeatedly made things difficult for the Third Hokage, the Third Hokage still chose to indulge him. Lord Orochimaru was disgraced because of human experiments, but the Third Hokage still didn't kill him. And Senior Tofu made serious mistakes when he was a high-ranking official in Konoha, but the Third Hokage didn't kill him either."
"The reason why we let them go is certainly not because of the Third Hokage's mercy, but because Danzo, Orochimaru-sama, and Fuu-sama are all disciples of the Hokage, and are the core of the master-disciple inheritance system! The Hokage's disciples are different from other people, and they must be preserved even if they make mistakes. Only this kind of indulgence and preferential treatment can ensure the stability of the master-disciple inheritance system."
……
In front of Uchiha Izumi, Kabuto Yakushi talked about a lot of issues related to the inheritance of Konoha's power. This was certainly not Kabuto Yakushi's excuse for the Third Hokage, but he wanted to prove something to Uchiha Izumi.
"After decades of hard work by the Third Hokage, the master-disciple inheritance system of Hokage has been established. It is also based on this system that we can easily determine the power core of the next generation of Konoha's high-level officials. For example, from the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, we can conclude that the next generation of Hokage must have the following conditions."
"First of all, of course, he has to be from the Hokage lineage. Even if he is not the Hokage's disciple, the teacher must be a master and apprentice relationship with the Hokage. Secondly, it has to be related to the Nine-Tails. After all, the tailed beasts are the strongest force in Konoha, and the cornerstone of all power is violence! So as the Hokage, you must have some connection with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"Based on these two points, I can be sure that even if the next Hokage is not Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he will definitely be a close friend of Uzumaki Naruto or a teammate who is married to him. As the Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto himself will definitely be accepted as a disciple by the Hokage lineage and enter the power core of the next generation of Konoha."
After hearing what Kabuto Yakushi said, Uchiha Izumi finally realized what Kabuto Yakushi was planning.
"Do you want to use the Reincarnation of the Dead to seize Uzumaki Naruto's body, then become Hokage with Uzumaki Naruto's identity, and eventually destroy Konoha with the power of Hokage?" asked Uchiha Izumi.
"That's not the case, but it's pretty close." Yakushi Kabuto shook his head and said:
"To be honest, I do want to use the Reincarnation Technique to seize Uzumaki Naruto's body, but Uzumaki Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki after all. With such a big tailed beast in his body, I can't guarantee that there won't be any accidents during the Reincarnation Technique. So the one I want to reincarnate is actually Uzumaki Naruto's teammate in the same class."
"After all, didn't I just say that? According to the power inheritance system established by the Third Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto will definitely be a high-ranking official in Konoha in the future, and so will his teammates. Compared to Uzumaki Naruto, the high-profile prince, his teammates are not only easier to kill, but it is also easier for them to hide their identities after they succeed."
"So Kabuto-san..." Uchiha Izumi pondered:
"You want me to infiltrate Konoha Village and find out the information about Uzumaki Naruto's graduation class. Then you can secretly take over the bodies of Uzumaki Naruto's teammates. Then, you can become a high-ranking official in Konoha as a teammate of Uzumaki Naruto, or even become the Hokage, and finally overthrow Konoha with the power of the high-ranking officials?"
"As expected of you, Miyano-san. You are really smart." Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said:
"Konoha is a big, sturdy tree after all. It is difficult to uproot it simply by relying on external forces. If you want to destroy it completely, you can only start from the inside."
"And to be honest, this matter is very dangerous. After all, Konoha's internal defense is tight, and it is impossible for ordinary people to hide for a long time. Not to mention knowing the class division information in advance and helping me seize other people's bodies. Among so many people I know, only you, Miyano-san, have such disguise and intelligence capabilities. After all, you are a terrifying person who has been hiding under my nose for several years, but I have not been able to find any flaws."
Uchiha Izumi still didn't believe everything that Kabuto Yakushi said. However, he agreed to the cooperation. But before agreeing, he stated his own conditions.
"I can cooperate with you, but you must agree to my corresponding conditions."
Hearing Uchiha Izumi say "you guys", Yakushi Kabuto smiled slightly and thought:
As expected, this Miyano Shiho didn't believe that I was acting on my own. But her guess was correct. I did report this matter to Lord Orochimaru. Otherwise, I wouldn't have realized that the Third Hokage had been busy all these years just for the sake of a master-disciple inheritance system.
"What are the conditions?" asked Yakushi Kabuto.
"I want to be reborn!"
Chapter 35: Careless Orochimaru
Wood Escape·The Tree Realm is born!
Amidst the flying snow, the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, formed seals with his hands, and lush trees emerged from the ground.
"Be careful, this is the Wood Release of the First Hokage!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen warned his subordinates while dodging the attacks of Wood Release. At this moment, the Impure World Reincarnation of the Second Hokage also launched an attack.
Ice Release: Ice Dragon Bullet Technique!
The flying snow in the sky began to condense under the control of Senju Tobirama, and instantly turned into a crystal frost dragon. The dragon spewed out cold air from its mouth and flew straight towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Looking at the arrogant and domineering ice dragon, Qiu Dao Qu Feng said in surprise:
"This is, the Second Hokage actually mastered the bloodline limit of ice escape?"
"It's not a bloodline limit, it's a special water jutsu that Tobirama-san uses to take advantage of the freezing cold." Fukuhara Hiroyo explained:
"But even so, the power of this ice escape cannot be underestimated. I'm afraid it's not much inferior to the ice escape of the Mizunotsuki clan."
Looking at the flying frost dragon, Orochimaru's mouth curled up slightly:
He is indeed my most admired Second Hokage! His casual moves are astounding achievements in ninjutsu.
Facing the combined attack of Wood Release and Ice Release, Sarutobi Hiruzen kept dodging and moving, and his hands were also quickly forming seals. When the ice dragon and the tree branch had already killed him, he suddenly opened his mouth and a ball of scorching flames sprayed out.
Fire Escape·The great fire is extinguished!
In an instant, a heat wave surged, and the flames, wrapped in extremely high temperatures, instantly burned the surrounding trees into charcoal. The huge and arrogant ice dragon also quickly evaporated under the flames, and the steaming water vapor immediately filled the surroundings, blocking everyone's sight.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the Hokage who destroyed the Uchiha clan with his own hands would actually use the Uchiha clan's fire escape at the critical moment!"
Through the hazy mist, Orochimaru chuckled and said:
"But Sarutobi-sensei, you must be feeling very uncomfortable right now! Although Great Fire Slayer is a B-rank ninjutsu, it is known to consume a lot of chakra. With your current body, how many times can you perform this large-scale ninjutsu?"
Relying on the cover of the fog, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed heavily and said to himself:
I didn't expect that after using the Great Fire Extinguishing Technique, I would feel so uncomfortable! I am really getting old!
But, Itachi, I have just spent so much time entangled with the two Hokages, you should have succeeded by now!
shhhhhh!
While Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking this, shurikens appeared one after another beside Orochimaru. They collided with each other in mid-air with extremely tricky arcs, and then attacked Orochimaru from different angles.
The Uchiha clan's shuriken technique? I see, Sarutobi-sensei was using himself to attract my attention so that you could get close to me, right, Uchiha Itachi!
In the swirling fog, a black figure quickly approached Orochimaru under the cover of shuriken. However, Orochimaru could only dodge and move in place because of the entanglement of shuriken around him. When he had dealt with all the shurikens, Uchiha Itachi had already killed him.
A crisp sound was heard, and the kunai in Uchiha Itachi's hand collided with Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword. Looking at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in front of him, Orochimaru licked his tongue with interest and said:
"It's amazing that you have such strength at such a young age. But it's a pity that compared to me as a Sannin, you are still too young!"
As Orochimaru spoke, he gently twisted the Kusanagi sword in his hand, and the kunai in Uchiha Itachi's hand broke into two pieces. Then the sword blade swept across, and a huge gash immediately appeared on Uchiha Itachi's chest. Then, he heard a voice:
Bang!
The seriously injured Uchiha Itachi did not fall down directly, but turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared. At the same time, one of the kunai that had just flown towards Orochimaru suddenly changed and turned into the appearance of Uchiha Itachi.
It turns out that the one who attacked Orochimaru just now was just Uchiha Itachi's shadow clone, whose purpose was to attract Orochimaru's attention and relax his vigilance. Uchiha Itachi's real body used the transformation technique to lurk beside Orochimaru early in order to launch an unexpected attack.
So just as Orochimaru had just defeated the shadow clone, Uchiha Itachi's real body had already appeared behind Orochimaru, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
Feeling the threat from behind, Orochimaru's mouth curled up slightly. Then there was a bang, and the summoning technique was activated instantly. A thick giant snake instantly wrapped around Uchiha Itachi's body, controlling his body.
"Haha, didn't I tell you! Uchiha Itachi, you are still too naive! Do you think that I, as a Sannin, can't see through the shadow clone technique? Just now, when I was confronting your shadow clone, the Kusanagi sword in my hand was always acting as a rearview mirror to observe the situation behind. Your every move is under my control!"
As he said that, Orochimaru turned around and looked at Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan and said:
"But you don't have to be discouraged. Uchiha Itachi, it's amazing that you have such strength at this age! Especially your eyes, they are really beautiful! However, in the future, these eyes will belong to me!"
Looking at Uchiha Itachi who was under his control, Orochimaru was very proud. But at this moment, Fukuhara Hiroyo, who was not far away, shouted:
"Orochimaru, what are you doing?"
what?
Hearing this shout, Orochimaru woke up as if from a dream. The controlled Uchiha Itachi in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the real Uchiha Itachi had already killed him, stabbing his chest with the kunai in his hand.
Impossible, I'm actually under an illusion!
Could it be?
In the critical moment, Orochimaru suddenly remembered that when he used the Kusanagi sword to observe behind him, the Kusanagi sword also reflected Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan.
Could it be that I was under an illusion just because I saw the Sharingan reflected by the Kusanagi sword? How is this possible?
In fact, not to mention Orochimaru, even Uchiha Itachi was shocked.
At that time, Uchiha Itachi noticed that Orochimaru was using the Kusanagi sword to observe behind him, so he just used the opportunity to launch an illusion on the mirror. He originally just wanted to use the illusion to interfere with Orochimaru's movements, but he didn't expect that his illusion would be so effective! Orochimaru, one of the three great ninjas, was so easily controlled by him!
Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Uchiha Itachi naturally took advantage of the victory and pursued. Orochimaru had just escaped from the illusion, and in a short period of time, he could not make any effective defensive moves, so he could only stretch out his left hand to block in front of his heart. Then Uchiha Itachi's kunai passed by, and although Orochimaru's heart was not pierced, his left hand was directly cut off by Uchiha Itachi!
After hitting the target with one strike, Uchiha Itachi naturally took advantage of the victory and pursued to kill the most threatening rebel ninja in Konoha. But at this critical moment, several more kunai flew in from a distance. These kunai were tied with detonating tags, forcing Uchiha Itachi to retreat several steps and missed the best opportunity to kill Orochimaru.
Then there were several loud noises, and the detonating tags tied to the kunai exploded one after another. At the same time, Kabuto Yakushi rushed to Orochimaru's side and began to treat him with medical ninjutsu. Looking at Orochimaru's lost left hand, Kabuto Yakushi said:
"Lord Orochimaru, let's retreat first!"
Chapter 36 Uchiha Izumi Takes Action
For a ninja, losing a hand is undoubtedly a huge weakening. Especially for a ninjutsu master like Orochimaru, after losing his left hand, not only can most ninjutsu be performed in a short period of time, but even the control of the Impure World Reincarnation has also been greatly reduced. Seeing that the first and second generations of Hokage were about to escape his control, Orochimaru could only helplessly use his right hand to make a seal and unlock the Impure World Reincarnation.
Seeing the Impure World Reincarnation bodies of the First and Second Hokage dissipate in the air, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the strength of the two Hokage was weakened a lot after the Impure World Reincarnation, the two of them still brought great pressure to Sarutobi Hiruzen when they joined forces. If it weren't for Uchiha Itachi who severely injured Orochimaru at the critical moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have had to evacuate temporarily with his subordinates.
At this time, the fog had dissipated, and the surroundings were all the forest created by the first Hokage. Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped on the branches of the trees and quickly came to Uchiha Itachi's side. Konoha's Anbu also followed Sarutobi Hiruzen and surrounded Orochimaru and others. Looking at Orochimaru who was severely injured by Uchiha Itachi, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled:
"Orochimaru, it seems you underestimated Itachi after all!"
In fact, it is not surprising that Orochimaru underestimated Uchiha Itachi. It is a special case in the ninja world that Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui have the strength of Kage at the age of twelve or thirteen. Even the first generation Hokage and Uchiha Madara did not have such exaggerated strength at this age. It is amazing for a normal ninja to have the strength of an elite jonin at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Orochimaru naturally did not expect that Uchiha Itachi's strength was so abnormal.
Moreover, Orochimaru had not expected that Uchiha Itachi's illusion had such a strong restraining power on him. It was just a simple eye technique that was reflected by Kusanagi's sword, but it controlled Orochimaru for a long time. This situation was really abnormal, and Orochimaru couldn't help but think:
Is this a side effect of reincarnation? While occupying other people's bodies, I also have to devour their souls. Because the complexity of the soul affects my mental strength, causing my resistance to illusions to decrease?
At this time, Orochimaru was quite confused, but compared to the confusion about the illusion, the most important thing now was to find a way to escape. After all, Orochimaru was seriously injured, and Kabuto Yakushi was obviously no match for Itachi Uchiha. As for Fukuhara Hiroyo and Akimichi Tofu, it was a bit difficult for them to even stand.
The situation was already very critical. The surrounding Anbu ninjas were approaching under the command of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Uchiha Itachi was slowly moving forward, ready to eliminate all the threats to Konoha in front of him. At this critical moment, Uchiha Izumi rushed out from behind Kabuto Yakushi. The Rasengan in his hand created a gust of wind and rushed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Is this the Rasengan of the Fourth Hokage?
Seeing Uchiha Izumi's moves, everyone present was shocked. Only Uchiha Itachi exclaimed when he saw Uchiha Izumi's changed outfit:
"spring?"
After these words were spoken, everyone present finally knew the true identity of Uchiha Izumi. Fukuhara Hiroyo was even more surprised:
"I see, so that's how it is, Miyano is actually the last descendant of the Uchiha clan!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen showed the excellent qualities of a veteran ninja when facing Uchiha Izumi's sudden attack. Even though the chakra in his body had been exhausted, Sarutobi Hiruzen forced himself to retreat. At the same time, the golden hoop in his hand changed into the appearance of a monkey demon, blocking Uchiha Izumi.
But at the same time as the demon changed, Uchiha Izumi's Mangekyō pupil technique was activated instantly. Under Subi Chier, Uchiha Izumi's soul was split into two, and half of the soul left Uchiha Izumi's body and entered the body of the demon. Although he could not control the demon's body, he slowed down the demon's movements, making the demon's obstruction meaningless, and Uchiha Izumi easily passed through.
What's going on? Ape Demon, are you getting old too? Why are your movements so strange?
