"I can't blame you. I know you dropped your mission and rushed back to help the village because you learned it was in danger, but... that Flying Thunder God Technique? You learned it so quickly?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen only learned about the Uchiha Kage's use of the Flying Thunder God Technique after hearing the report from his subordinates.

He single-handedly killed dozens of elite ninjas from the Sand Village and helped to deal with a large group of summoned beasts, the three-headed snake, which no Konoha ninja could handle.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was both happy and surprised when he heard this information.

The good news is that in time, maybe another Minato Namikaze will appear in the village.

To my surprise, this ninja was an Uchiha.

Although he is an Uchiha who has not yet opened the Sharingan, there is always a chance of something happening.

However, in the current situation, the more powerful ninjas there are in the village, the better.

"Yes."

Proper display of strength should make Sarutobi Hiruzen take him a little more seriously.

So as to avoid being assigned to do boring tasks all the time.

In addition, since he needed to cause trouble in Konoha, Uchiha Kage also needed a more convenient identity.

"Great!"

With Flying Thunder God, we should be able to stop Uchiha Obito from running rampant in Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to entrust the Uchiha Kage with an important task.

"Kage, Kakashi is injured and in the hospital. I plan to let Itachi take over as the acting captain of the Anbu, and you and Tenzo will be vice-captains!"

First stabilize the rear, then annex Sand Village.

Since Hyuga Hiashi is unwilling to re-establish the guard team, then let the Anbu be responsible for Konoha's security.

"..."

Itachi? As the captain of the Anbu?

This old Deng is really good at handling things.

Chapter 7: If I don't listen to you, will Konoha be destroyed? [K]

Here is...

Konoha.

After passing through the forest and coming to a wide road, the blue-haired female ninja wearing a black robe with red clouds looked ahead.

Surrounding the forest and mountains is a long wall.

“What a magnificent village.”

It's completely different from the small village in the Rain Country.

and……

The weather here is so nice and sunny.

The sun was so bright that I had to use my hands to shade myself.

"But...was that caused by the attack from the Sand Village?"

There was a huge gap in the middle of the tall and sturdy wall.

From a distance, you can also see craftsmen repairing the wall there.

"The guards seem very strict, and this barrier...is not at a level I can penetrate."

There are ninjas from the Hyuga clan among the ninjas guarding the gate, so it is unlikely that they can sneak in with the transformation technique.

Moreover, since he is a ninja, his chakra will probably be seen through quickly.

"That's the only way to use it."

Paper Style: Shikigami Dance!

The blue-haired female ninja's body turned into countless pieces of paper and stuck to a caravan's carriage, just like confetti blown by the wind.

Using a special paper escape technique, his body was transformed into pieces of white paper.

The female ninja followed the caravan ahead without any danger and sneaked into the gate of Konoha Village.

-

"The shameless Sand Village disregarded the friendly alliance and brazenly attacked Konoha. Thanks to Orochimaru's timely awakening, we were able to crush the Sand Village's conspiracy! Now, it's time to pay the price with blood!"

No wonder there are no people on the streets of Konoha except the ninjas guarding the gate. It turns out they are all gathering here.

After successfully sneaking in, the blue-haired female ninja changed herself into a black coat with a hood.

Reaching the edge of the crowded crowd, she spotted the Third Hokage standing on the terrace next to the Hokage building.

"That guy is indeed right. Konoha is going to go to war with Sunagakure."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen giving an impassioned speech on the stage, the female ninja muttered silently in her heart.

"Hokage-sama, isn't Orochimaru... a traitorous ninja? Even if he wakes up now, what about his past crimes?"

How can the villager who conducted the experiment atone for such a sinful act?

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish his words, there were voices of rebuttal from the crowd below.

The Third Hokage had been in power for too long, and the villagers of Konoha had long accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with this Hokage.

"Human experiments... those were all Danzo's crimes. I only just realized now that I misunderstood Orochimaru back then."

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued speaking slowly.

"As for Danzo, I recently sent people to ban his Root, and he himself was also arrested. I'm sure everyone remembers the commotion he caused at that time. However, I promise that such things will not happen again in the future."

While letting Danzo take the blame for Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen also took this opportunity to find a perfect excuse for the recent conflict between Anbu and Root.

In order to capture the extremely evil Danzo, the Anbu and the Root came into conflict.

"So that's how it is. No wonder before..."

The Hokage Building was riddled with holes due to the fighting between Anbu and Root ninjas, which made the villagers of Konoha panic for a long time.

"But, Hokage-sama, if Orochimaru-sama is just a misunderstanding, then how do you explain Uchiha Itachi, the clan-killing butcher and traitor-nin?"

Orochimaru is one of the three ninjas of Konoha after all. Even though he acts in a shady way, after so many years, the people of Konoha don't hate him much anymore.

But Uchiha Itachi is fundamentally different.

He slaughtered all the members of the clan until only the last two people were left. With such a madman in the village, who among the major families of Konoha can sleep well?

"To be honest, the culprit who annihilated the Uchiha clan was actually Uchiha Obito! Just yesterday, he appeared as a masked man and almost killed Hatake Kakashi and me! Therefore, I hereby revoke Uchiha Itachi's status as a traitor ninja, and list Uchiha Obito, Konoha's former hero and current traitor, as the new S-rank traitor ninja!"

"what?"

"Obito? Which Obito?"

"Kakashi's contemporary...but isn't he dead?"

"Hokage-sama, are you getting senile?"

"How dare you question the words of Hokage-sama!?"

"So what if you question it? Hokage-sama is so old now, can you guarantee that he won't make mistakes?"

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen tried his best to explain on the stage, the Konoha villagers below the stage could not accept it.

Everyone was talking and some were even arguing.

"Silence! What's important now is not these things, but Sand Village! Konoha's blood cannot be shed in vain. Facing the capricious Sand Village, we, Konoha, must act with the force of thunder..."

"Is this the Hokage of Konoha?"

Looking at the old Hokage spitting all over the place on the podium, the blue-haired female ninja did not continue to listen to his inspiring declaration of war.

He also ignored the nearby Konoha villagers who had begun to clamor along with the Hokage, chanting slogans such as "Destroy the Sand Village, blood debt must be paid with blood."

This atmosphere made her feel uncomfortable.

Especially these people, including the fanatical expression on the face of the old Hokage, made her feel uncomfortable.

I had thought Konoha was truly the peace-loving village rumored to be. I had also thought the Third Hokage of Konoha was truly the calm, cautious, and averse to aggression that the rumors said...

As a result, they are all a bunch of warmongers.

It is true that hearing about someone is not as good as meeting him in person.

After scorning Konoha in her heart, the female ninja gathered her robes and prepared to leave this place that made her feel uncomfortable.

However, the moment she turned around, she heard some different voices again——

"How could the Third Hokage do this!?"

Like the blue-haired female ninja, Kurenai Yuhi, who also felt disgusted with Sarutobi Hiruzen, was loudly complaining about her dissatisfaction in front of the crowd without any hesitation.

"It was the Kage who defeated the Sand Village's attack and stopped the Summoning Beasts' invasion, yet they're calling Orochimaru a hero? This is ridiculous! Who among those there didn't know that Orochimaru was here to destroy Konoha?"

His own disciple, Uchiha Kage, single-handedly wiped out dozens of elite ninjas from the Sand Village, and also dealt with the three-headed snake that no one else could deal with.

As a result, all these achievements were hidden by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Xi Rihong had never been so angry in her life.

"And Uchiha Itachi's explanation is even more ridiculous. It's only been a few years, and the history books are already saying it was done by someone else. It makes no sense at all!"

"Father is really getting senile!"

Asuma, who was standing by, heard Yuhi Kurenai's complaints and also felt angry.

He finally lifted the house arrest imposed on him by Sarutobi Hiruzen, but as soon as he went out, he saw the invasion of the Sand Village and Orochimaru's summoning beast.

Not to mention hearing that his own father is still whitewashing the heinous crimes of Uchiha Itachi...

"Hokage-sama! Urgent military information has arrived from the front!"

"What military intelligence?"

"The Sand Village has declared its unconditional surrender to Konoha and expressed its willingness to compensate Konoha for its losses!"

Not long after Asuma spoke, a liaison officer read the good news from the front line to the Hokage on the podium.

"Have you surrendered yet?"

"Great!"

The Sand Village's kneeling surrender also made most villagers breathe a sigh of relief.

Although I am very angry about what the Sand Village did, war is no small matter.

The pain that Konoha experienced in the war is still vivid in people's minds.

The Three Wars and the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion hadn't been too long ago.

It would be great if we could make the Sand Village surrender without a large-scale war.

"Don't trust the surrender easily. The people of Sand Village are all treacherous villains! I have decided to send Orochimaru and a team of elite ninjas to the front line, and together with Jiraiya, use the Konoha army to verify whether the surrender of Sand Village is reliable!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Is Jiraiya already at the front lines? No wonder the Sand Village army hasn't attacked yet.

The teacher is really cautious.

However, given Jiraiya's stubborn personality, I'm afraid he won't fight anymore if the Sand Village surrenders.

So this is why the teacher sent me to the front line.

Orochimaru quickly understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts.

Letting him lead the army is to completely occupy Sunagakure.

"Wait, Hokage! Since the Sand Village has announced its surrender, shouldn't our next move be to send people to negotiate with them? Why do we still need to withdraw people to the front lines to continue the war?"

After hearing that the Sand Village had surrendered but Sarutobi Hiruzen still planned to send more troops, Asuma decisively jumped out.

Orochimaru, Uchiha Itachi, and my father...

Asuma looked at the ambitious Third Hokage in front of him and felt a special sense of strangeness.
