But his regret was not that he did not choose Orochimaru to be the Hokage, but that he did not kill him as soon as possible, so that Orochimaru became the most terrible threat in Konoha's history! Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that the biggest mistake he made in his life was that he was afraid of Orochimaru's identity as the Hokage's disciple and did not take ruthless action at the critical moment. Now he has to correct this mistake.
I can only use the ninjutsu of the Fourth Hokage!
After making the decision, Sarutobi Hiruzen launched another attack.
At this time, Ohnoki and others saw Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions, but no one had the intention to help Orochimaru. It was really because Orochimaru's ability was too strong that they did not think Sarutobi Hiruzen could threaten Orochimaru himself.
In fact, what the Kages were thinking about more at this time was how they should deal with Orochimaru when they turned against each other in the future. After all, Orochimaru's chain of reincarnation was almost equivalent to immortality. If they couldn't find the weakness of this ninjutsu, then Orochimaru would be too threatening to the major ninja villages in the future!
However, unlike the attitudes of the other Hokage, Uchiha Izumi rushed to the platform at this critical moment. As a time traveler, Uchiha Izumi knew that the Third Hokage also mastered the Shiki Fuujin! Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen using the beheading technique in his mind to rush to Orochimaru's side, while forming the Shiki Fuujin seal in his hands, Uchiha Izumi hurriedly reminded him:
"Orochimaru, be careful, the Demonic Sealing Art!"
what?
Hearing Uchiha Izumi reminding him despite exposing his identity, Orochimaru immediately became alert. Just before Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to succeed, Orochimaru actually took the initiative to strangle his own neck and activated the Chain Reincarnation Technique. His soul was quickly transferred to a new body, thus avoiding the first round of attack of the Shikigami Fuujin.
With the death of a body, a new coffin was summoned. The newly born Orochimaru walked out of the coffin and asked Uchiha Izumi beside him:
"What is the Demonic Fuujin?"
"That was created by the Fourth Hokage by combining the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques. It is a technique that can seal the souls of others."
What, seal the soul?
Hearing this, Orochimaru broke out in a cold sweat and thought to himself:
A move that specifically seals the soul, isn't this kind of ninjutsu my nemesis? Fortunately, I had Uchiha Izumi's reminder, otherwise my soul would have been sealed just now.
At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just launched an attack on Orochimaru, also turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared. It turned out that the one who launched the Shiki Fuujin was only Sarutobi Hiruzen's clone, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's real body just crawled out from the ground, looking at Orochimaru in the distance and said:
"Orochimaru, the power of ninjutsu cannot be surpassed by science so easily!"
Chapter 63 Other Gods
Ignoring Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Izumi, who was dressed as an Anbu. Although he couldn't see Uchiha Izumi's face through the mask, he had already guessed his identity by noticing his Sharingan.
"Uchiha Izumi?"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Izumi also took off his mask and said with a smile:
"It's been a long time, Third Hokage."
"It seems that you, like Orochimaru, also participated in this operation against Konoha!"
"Isn't this natural? In order to repay Konoha for the great kindness it has shown to our Uchiha clan, I, Uchiha Izumi, will not let this village go as long as I am still alive!"
Although Konoha claimed that the Uchiha clan was exterminated by Uchiha Izumi, no one with a brain would believe this. Especially for Kages like Ohnoki, they were very familiar with Konoha's style. They knew with their toes that the extermination of the Uchiha clan was caused by the Konoha high-level officials eliminating dissidents.
However, they did not expect that Uchiha Izumi, a little-known character in the ninja world, who was used by Konoha's high-level officials to scapegoat, would appear at such a critical moment. And judging from her appearance, she seemed to have grown to a certain extent, so that when Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru faced her, they were obviously afraid of her.
"Haha, I didn't expect that besides Orochimaru, there is another Uchiha Izumi! Sarutobi is really amazing as the Hokage. He just forces the former Konoha ninjas to become enemies of Konoha, right?" Ohnoki said sarcastically.
As soon as Ōnoki finished speaking, Mei Terumi looked around and asked in confusion:
"Strange, this battle has been going on for so long, why hasn't any Konoha ninja come here to help their Hokage? This is the venue for the Chunin Exam. Most of the Konoha ninjas should be able to notice that their Hokage is being beaten up, right?"
At this time, Ohnoki, Mei Terumi and Raikage Ai have gathered together, and the seriously injured and unconscious Kazekage Rasa is carried on the back of Raikage Ai. Hearing Mei Terumi's question, Raikage Ai also looked around and said:
"That's right! We don't have many ninjas here, so it's fine if they are scattered around Konoha Village and wreaking havoc, but what about Konoha's own ninjas? Even if they are not strong enough, there will always be a few ninjas who will come forward to show their attitude, right?"
In response, Ohnoki smiled and said:
"Perhaps, the ninjas of Konoha also wish their Hokage would die soon!"
"How is that possible? Those are their shadows!" Mei Terumi said in surprise.
"Nothing is impossible! Old people always stay on stage and don't retire, which makes people hate them!"
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was confronting Uchiha Izumi and Orochimaru in the distance, Ohnoki sighed.
At the same time, Ohnoki said in his heart:
As people get older, they become more suspicious and always worry that the power in their hands will be taken away by the young. When the young see that the people above them are old, their ambitions will also expand uncontrollably. In this case, the collision between the new and old forces is almost inevitable. This is the reason why Konoha has been getting worse and worse in recent years. Taking this as a lesson, I have to arrange the next Tsuchikage as soon as possible. Otherwise, what happened in Konoha today will sooner or later be repeated in our Iwagakure.
While the Kage were communicating with each other, Orochimaru also learned about the Shiki Fuujin from Uchiha Izumi. After realizing the threat of the Shiki Fuujin, she immediately made a decision and chose to commit suicide again with the kunai on her body, activating the Chain Reincarnation Technique!
Then, another coffin appeared. But this time, the woman who came out of the coffin was much more beautiful than the previous one. And not only was her appearance improved, but her chakra was also several times that of other bodies. Obviously, this body was the strongest one among all of Orochimaru's bodies.
"It seems you really have created an excellent body, Orochimaru!"
Without the help of the cells of the first generation of Hokage, relying solely on gene editing technology, Orochimaru actually created such a body with huge chakra. Such an achievement is enough to amaze Uchiha Izumi.
However, Orochimaru was not too proud of this, but said in a matter-of-fact tone:
"Having created three thousand bodies in a row, it's not surprising to have such a result. But unfortunately, this body has not yet awakened the appropriate bloodline limit, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult to face Sarutobi-sensei today."
Although gene editing technology can bring bloodline limits, compared to direct cell transplantation, the bloodline limits brought by gene editing technology are often implicit. Just like Uchiha Izumi and her clones already have the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, but now except for the increase of chakra, the two have not awakened the bloodline limits of the Uzumaki clan.
Uchiha Izumi nodded slightly when she heard this, and then looked at Ohnoki and others not far away, hoping that these Kages could help. After all, she and Orochimaru alone might not be able to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen. But just as she looked over there, Ohnoki suddenly said:
"It's time to end this operation."
Everyone was shocked when they heard Ohnoki's words. The hot-tempered Raikage Ai said directly:
"Are you confused, old man? Today is a great opportunity to wipe out Konoha in one fell swoop! Even if we can't destroy Konoha, we can at least cause it to suffer heavy damage. If we retreat now, won't our operation be in vain?"
In response, Ohnoki looked around and said:
"Look around you first!"
When the Raikage Ai heard this, he saw that his younger brother, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, had been defeated by Uchiha Itachi and a group of Anbu ninjas, and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han was also defeated by Jiraiya who had activated the Sage Mode. Kakashi defeated Chotaro with Raikiri, and Might Guy opened the Seven Gates of the Eight Gates Ninjutsu and beat the Two-Tails Nekomata back...
It turned out that just when the battle was just going on, the ninjas of Konoha had also begun to fight back desperately. Moreover, Danzo, who had always been hiding in the dark, also led the Root to join the battlefield, so the situation of the battle had gradually turned around. And Danzo himself rushed straight to the high platform.
"Although the battle is still at a stalemate, a decisive retreat can reduce casualties. If we continue to delay and Konoha really gains the upper hand, we won't be able to leave even if we want to!" Ohnoki advised again.
Seeing this, even if the Raikage Ai had a bad temper, he could only helplessly say:
"Damn it, we still underestimated Konoha's strength."
Seeing that the wily and calculating Ohnoki actually wanted to retreat at this moment, Orochimaru was puzzled:
"Is Ohnoki getting old and confused? The battle situation is still unclear. If we retreat, won't all our efforts be wasted?"
Uchiha Izumi used his Sharingan to observe the flow of chakra in Ohnoki's body and said in surprise:
"Oh no! Oonoki is under an illusion!"
"What?" Orochimaru asked in surprise:
"How could a veteran Kage-level warrior like Ohnoki fall for any illusion? Besides, he didn't come into close contact with other ninjas just now, so how could he fall for an illusion?"
"No, there is a genjutsu that can do that."
Looking at Danzo rushing over from below, Uchiha Izumi said:
“This is, Kotoamatsukami!”
Chapter 64 Sitting on the sidelines
Danzo's right eye was transplanted with Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan, which can launch a kind of illusion called Kotoamatsukami. This illusion is the most terrifying illusion in the ninja world, without a doubt, because it directly acts on the enemy's brain nerves, and can change other people's thoughts without eye contact, and the enemy is unaware.
At this moment, Ohnoki was influenced by Kotoamatsukami and followed Danzo's thoughts unconsciously. He began to feel that his side had no chance of winning this battle and should retreat as soon as possible while they still had strength. Even though this idea did not conform to the decision-making logic of a Kage, Ohnoki firmly believed it.
So much so that at the same moment when Danzo stepped onto the platform, Ōnoki actually chose to retreat.
Seeing Ōnoki gone, the indecisive Mizukage Terumi Mei and the injured Raikage Ai had no choice but to retreat. As the Kages retreated, the ninjas from the major ninja villages also started a chain reaction, and one by one they chose to evacuate quickly.
Thus, the originally vigorous plan to destroy Konoha ended because of a technique of the God of War.
"As expected of Kotoamatsukami!" Orochimaru sighed.
The more critical the moment of survival, the more important the decision of the top leaders is. Therefore, illusions like Kotoamatsukami that can easily change other people's minds are definitely strategic resources. Only a fool like Uchiha Shisui would reveal this ability casually. For a conspirator like Danzo the Third, Kotoamatsukami would definitely be the strongest trump card at the critical moment. Just like now, Kotoamatsukami ended the possible crisis of Konoha's destruction with one move.
Seeing Danzo coming to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side, Uchiha Izumi said to Orochimaru:
"Orochimaru, do you have any more cards up your sleeve?"
As he spoke, Uchiha Izumi looked around, reminding Orochimaru to pay attention to the Konoha ninjas below. Now that there were no ninjas from other ninja villages to hold them back, the Konoha ninjas would soon gather.
In response, Orochimaru smiled and said:
"I don't have any more trump cards, but the current situation is actually not as bad as I thought."
Not that bad?
Uchiha Izumi didn't understand what he meant, and the Konoha ninjas below saw their Hokage and Danzo staring at the enemy, but few wanted to help. Even Might Guy wanted to help, but was stopped by Kakashi:
"Akai, trust them! After all, they are the Hokage of our Konoha and the leader of the Root!"
Might Guy was stunned when he heard this, and thought:
Why does Kakashi's words sound weird?
Just because we believe in them, shouldn't we, the Konoha ninjas, protect our own Hokage?
Although Might Guy was a bit stupid, he was not a fool. Although he didn't know the intricacies of the Konoha high-level officials, he was more willing to trust Kakashi. As a close friend, he knew that it was right to listen to Kakashi at the critical moment. So he stopped his steps and stayed where he was like a group of elite jonin, watching his own Hokage confront the enemy.
Besides Might Guy, the only ones who wanted to take action were a few young ninjas who had just become Genin. For example, Uzumaki Naruto wanted to show off at this moment and prove his existence to the people of Konoha Village. However, he had just taken two steps when he was tied up by Jiraiya's toad's tongue. Jiraiya on the toad said helplessly:
"You silly boy, is this a fight you can get involved in?"
And Uchiha Sasuke, he knew that the one confronting the Hokage was his great enemy Uchiha Izumi, so he also wanted to go forward to fight. However, he was stopped by Haruno Sakura beside him, and Kakashi, as a teacher, also advised:
"You are no match for Uchiha Izumi right now."
In the end, the only ones who truly chose to stand by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo were the Root ninjas who were controlled by Danzo with cursed seals, and Uchiha Itachi, who was also notorious in Konoha Village.
"What a marvelous sight!"
Looking at the majority of Konoha ninjas who were watching the fun below, and then looking at these notorious guys in front of him, Uchiha Izumi chuckled and said:
"Most of the Konoha ninjas actually chose to remain neutral between their own Hokage and the rebel ninjas. Does this mean that in the eyes of these people, there is no difference between you Konoha high-ranking officials and us rebel ninjas?"
In response, Sarutobi Hiruzen still said stubbornly:
"That's because the ninjas of Konoha believe in us! They believe that their Hokage-sama can defeat the enemy and protect their village!"
"Really?" Uchiha Izumi sneered, then he formed seals with his hands and slammed them on the ground, performing the summoning technique.
After the ritual, nearly 10,000 coffins appeared on the platform of Konoha. They were so densely packed together that they looked like white tombstones, turning the platform of Konoha into a cold cemetery in an instant.
"Uchiha Izumi, what are you doing?"
Seeing Uchiha Izumi's operation, Orochimaru was confused. She also mastered the Impure World Reincarnation, and she also understood its flaws. As the number and strength of Impure World Reincarnation increased, the control of the Impure World Reincarnation practitioners over the resurrected people would also drop sharply. In a situation like Uchiha Izumi's Impure World Reincarnation of nearly 10,000 people at one time, it was impossible for her to control these resurrected dead.
Not only Orochimaru, but also the Konoha ninjas watching below, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo and others, were confused about what Uchiha Izumi was going to do. It was not until the lids of the coffins were slowly opened that they realized Uchiha Izumi's viciousness.
“Who are these people?”
Kakashi was surprised to see these figures coming out of the coffins.
"Old people, children, wealthy uncles, and plump women, these, these people are all civilians!" said Might Guy.
"No, no!" Sasuke looked at the familiar figures in the crowd and almost collapsed.
"Brother Ono, Uncle Fukuoka, Aunt Mita, Uncle Jiangye, and Sister Tomomi, how could you, how could you?"
"I see." Sarutobi Asuma said among the Konoha crowd:
"Are these all the Uchiha clan members who were exterminated?"
"Not just members of the Uchiha clan." Observing the attire of these people, Jiraiya said:
"Some of these people should be civilians from the capital of the Land of Fire, and some should be civilians from the Land of Rain. In short, they are all civilians. And the reason they died is because..."
Having said this, Jiraiya stopped talking.
"Why? Lecherous sage, why did you stop talking in the middle of a sentence?" Uzumaki Naruto said dissatisfiedly:
"Were they all killed by Uchiha Izumi, and then resurrected by a bad woman to attack Konoha? Damn, this Uchiha Izumi."
Uzumaki Naruto wanted to curse, but Haruno Sakura said:
"Not Uchiha Izumi, these are the civilians who died because of Konoha!"
