The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

"I want to hunt down the Third Raikage!" Ohnoki said word by word with his hands behind his back.

As soon as these words were spoken, even the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi, who was resting with his eyes closed and not about to speak, opened his eyes in surprise.

"Hey, Ohnoki, have you thought it through? You have to know that he's the Third Raikage! He has the record of subduing the Eight-Tails with his bare hands." It's not difficult to hear from Lao Zi's tone that he doesn't quite agree with Ohnoki's decision.

Besides, his relationship with Ōnoki was not very harmonious, so he usually addressed the other person by his name.

Ōnoki had long been aware of Lao Zi's temper, so he had never paid much attention to this little matter.

"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage, isn't it too risky to do this?" Han frowned and said.

Relatively speaking, Han has much more respect for Ōnoki.

"This time, I plan to lure the enemy deep into our territory, lure the old man, the Third Raikage, to our Land of Earth, and then send a large number of ninjas to surround and kill him." Ohnoki stated his plan with a gloomy face.

Lao Zi and Han looked at each other and knew that it would be difficult to dissuade Ohnoki from his idea, so they could only agree to Ohnoki's decision helplessly.

"Lord Tsuchikage, what do you need us to do?" Han asked.

Since Ōnoki revealed the plan to the two of them, there must be something he needed them to do.

"I heard that the Third Raikage is a guy who cares a lot about the lives of his subordinates. In that case, I need you to trap the Kumogakure ninja who uses the Six Paths Ninja Tool Amber Purifier Bottle." Ohnoki said with a confident look.

"It is indeed a good idea to use the Amber Purifier Bottle and those Kumogakure Ninjas to attract the Third Raikage." After a little thought, he understood the Third Tsuchikage's plan.

But Lao Zi's face was not very good. He disobeyed Ohnoki several times just because he didn't like Ohnoki's insidious character.

I didn't expect that Ohnoki would ask him to do this kind of thing again. It would be strange if he felt comfortable.

"Lao Zi, you must listen to me this time! When we attacked the Land of Fire, you could refuse to help me because I chose to invade, but this time it was the Cloud Village that took the initiative to provoke us, and we cannot afford to retreat even a little bit!" Ohnoki said to Lao Zi with a very serious expression. ..

Just as Ohnoki said, Lao Zi is a peace-loving ninja himself, and he has always been opposed to aggressive wars.

This time, it was because it was the Cloud Village that launched the attack on the Iwagakure, and they were the defenders, so he came at Ōnoki's invitation.

But Ohnoki's love of conspiracy and intrigue still made Lao Zi feel extremely uncomfortable.

But he had to admit that what Oonoki said made sense.

"Okay, I understand, but just this time, after killing the Third Raikage, I will choose to leave the village for a while, and you can't stop me." Lao Zi finally nodded and agreed to Ohnoki's plan, but also put forward his own conditions.

In order to be able to deal with the Third Raikage more confidently, and even eliminate him 100%, Ohnoki also agreed to Lao Zi's conditions.

"Third Raikage, this time we have combined the strength of me, Han, and Lao Zi. I don't believe you can escape!" Ohnoki thought viciously in his heart.

It can be said that the Third Raikage and Kumogakure have repeatedly challenged Ohnoki's bottom line, which has completely angered the old man Ohnoki.

To this end, he will not hesitate to pay any price to kill the Third Raikage and give the Hidden Cloud Village a severe blow.

Just like that, a conspiracy against the Third Raikage unfolded.

Chapter 249 The Wind Rises

And in Konoha, the Third Hokage is now preparing to build momentum for Orochimaru to become the Fourth Hokage, while Minato and Jiraiya are still negotiating with the Iwagakure on the front line.

In the Root base, Danzo also quietly began his conspiracy.

Ever since Soji used Mizunotsuki Jin's identity to seriously injure Danzo a few years ago, and since Gen suffered heavy losses in the Rain Country, Danzo has indeed been much more low-key.

In the past few years, people in the village have rarely seen Danzo out and about.

But this does not mean that Danzo has completely hidden himself. He is just taking advantage of this period of time to re-train the members of the Root, and by the way, he is also recuperating from his injuries.

The damage that Cangsi's attacks caused to Danzo was quite severe, especially the cold air that invaded his body and the final shot that almost crippled Danzo's right arm.

This also made Danzo hate Mizunoe Jin with a vengeance. If he had the chance, he would never let Mizunoe Jin go.

Logically speaking, Danzo himself should be similar to the Third Hokage, and should be too old to do his job properly.

However, he recently managed to obtain a new arm with the help of Orochimaru's breakthrough in the First Hokage's Wood Release Cells.

This is the right arm from a clone, and within this right arm is the power of the First Hokage's Wood Release Cells!

Originally, the transplant of the right arm was not so smooth, and Danzo himself was almost swallowed up by the first Hokage's domineering Wood Release Cells and turned into a big tree.

However, with the mentality of trying everything possible, Danzo also secretly hid from Orochimaru and moved several three-magatama Sharingan he had obtained in his early years to this right arm. ..

As a result, a scene that made Danzo ecstatic happened.

Originally, neither the transplant of the three-magatama Sharingan nor the transplant of the right arm containing the first Hokage's Wood Release Cells was successful.

After transplanting both at the same time, a strange balance was achieved!

This also allowed Danzo's own strength to reach the level of Kage again.

Not only that, the feeling of aging and powerlessness that had been coming from the body all the time actually disappeared after a short while, and instead the whole body was filled with strength.

Danzo even felt that even at his peak, he was not as strong as he is now!

In addition, the root strength has been restored in recent years.

For a moment, Danzo's ambition swelled again.

Originally, Danzo was fully supportive of Orochimaru becoming the Fourth Hokage, because among the Three Ninjas, Orochimaru had the best relationship with him.

If Orochimaru became the Fourth Hokage, they could secretly carry out more cooperative projects.

It's not like now with the Third Hokage in power, where he is restricted in everything he does.

This is not allowed, and that is not allowed to be touched.

It can be said that before the transplantation of this arm and the Sharingan, the cooperative relationship between Danzo and Orochimaru was not close, but it would definitely not reach the point of stabbing each other in the back.

But now, Danzo has begun to have his own little thoughts.

"Hruzen is already old, but I have now regained my peak. So, if that's the case, why should I support Orochimaru to become Hokage?" Danzo said to himself while standing alone in the Root base.

At this moment, Danzo's ambition was fully exposed. He was no longer satisfied with cooperating with Orochimaru and conducting research in secret.

He wants to become the Hokage himself!

It can also be said that the position of Hokage has become Danzo's obsession.

"However, with Orochimaru's current reputation, it is unrealistic to bring him down. I still have to think of other ways." Danzo continued to mutter to himself.

Suddenly, Danzo seemed to think of something that made him happy, and couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile.

"Orochimaru, don't blame me. It's you who blocked my path to becoming Hokage." At this moment, Danzo already had the idea of ​​damaging Orochimaru's reputation.

Even if doing so would destroy the cooperative relationship between the two, in Danzo's view, as long as he could become Hokage, everything would be worth it!

Anything you want

To get rewards, you always have to pay first.

"Someone, go and spread the message in the village that Orochimaru is conducting human experiments on the villagers." Danzo opened his eyes and said in a cold voice.

"Yes!" Not far in front of Danzo, several figures appeared out of nowhere in the originally empty room.

These are all Root Ninjas that have been cultivated in recent years.

From this moment on, it can be said that the relationship between Orochimaru and Danzo, who had originally cooperated with each other for their own ulterior motives, completely broke down!

"The position of Hokage will definitely belong to me, Danzo, and no one can take it away, even if that person is Orochimaru!" There was no warmth in Danzo's voice.

Not long after Danzo gave the order, a rumor quietly spread in the village.

The rumor was that some people in the village had disappeared recently because they were secretly captured by Orochimaru and used for human experiments.

Originally, this rumor was only spread by a few people, and most people did not believe that Orochimaru would do such a thing.

After all, Orochimaru is about to become the next Hokage. What good will it do for him to do such a thing?

However, unexpectedly, after a period of time, the rumor not only did not disappear, but instead tended to intensify.

At this point, even the Third Hokage couldn't sit still and immediately went to find Orochimaru to ask him, but Orochimaru remained silent.

As for Orochimaru's character, once he did something, he would not bother to lie about such things.

Silence was his last act of stubbornness.

For a moment, the Third Hokage was extremely disappointed with his favorite disciple, and he no longer chose to continue to build momentum for Orochimaru.

The Third Hokage's sudden change in attitude towards Orochimaru was also noticed by everyone else in the village.

"What? Is Lord Orochimaru really doing human experiments?"

"How is it possible? Why would Lord Orochimaru do this?"

"Someone has been missing in the village recently. Was it really Lord Orochimaru's fault?"

"Oh my god, then I will definitely not support Orochimaru to become the next Hokage."

"Me too. How can a Hokage harm his fellow villagers?"

In an instant, the voices in the village that originally supported Orochimaru becoming the Fourth Hokage quickly disappeared, and instead, most of them were filled with blame.

Some of them were really frightened by Orochimaru's use of villagers for human experiments, while some were sent by Danzo to set the pace.

This scene is so similar to the one when Hatake Sakumo was forced to flee to the Daimyo Castle in the Land of Fire.

What an irony history is!

"Was that Danzo guy behind this?" Orochimaru thought with a gloomy face after returning to the research base that only he knew about.

Actually, although Orochimaru was indeed doing human experiments, in fact, those people were not captured by Orochimaru himself, but were captured by Danzo for his research.

But he was indeed conducting human experiments on the villagers, so this left Orochimaru with no way to defend himself.

"No wonder Danzo has provided me with so many living people every time recently. It turns out he was waiting for me here." At this moment, Orochimaru also figured out everything and knew that he had fallen into the trap set for him by Danzo.

It's no wonder that Orochimaru is in such a bad mood now.

No one would feel comfortable if he was suddenly stabbed in the back by his partner.

Orochimaru had never expected that the position of the Fourth Hokage, which was originally a sure thing for him, would turn out to be unexpected because of Danzo's backstabbing.

"Haha, what Cang Si said was right." Although Orochimaru had a smile on his face at the moment, his heart was undoubtedly filled with anger.

However, although Orochimaru was angry, he couldn't understand what benefits Danzo would get from doing this.

"Could it be that Danzo is planning to run for the position of the Fourth Hokage himself?" Orochimaru thought with a sneer.

It’s true, this guess that Orochimaru thought was impossible turned out to be the answer!

Fortunately, although Danzo exposed the fact that Orochimaru was conducting human experiments

, but after all, the experimental site was not directly exposed.

Therefore, Orochimaru can still stand firm in the village, but his reputation has undoubtedly dropped to a low point.

As for why Danzo did not directly expose the location where Orochimaru conducted human experiments, it was because he was afraid that he might be involved.

If such a thing existed, then he and Orochimaru would both suffer losses in this battle.

This is also where Danzo is both stupid and smart.

He was stupid in that he had unrealistic daydreams, and he was smart in that he did not get himself into trouble because of this matter.

Just when Orochimaru was sulking alone in the research base, Danzo went straight to the Third Hokage and a few other friends.

"Huruzen, Orochimaru is no longer qualified to be the next Hokage after doing something like this. We should nominate a new candidate." Danzo said with joy.

"Danzo, your conclusion is too arbitrary. Orochimaru's human experiments are just rumors now. There is no conclusive evidence to prove this." Mitokado En was the first to stand up and express his opposition to Danzo's words.

"That's right, I still think that Orochimaru is the most suitable candidate for the fourth Hokage." Utane Koharu also agreed with Mito Kado En's statement.

Orochimaru's abilities are obvious to all, and the two did not want to give up their original decision to support Orochimaru because of the rumors circulating in the village.

But Danzo's attitude today made the two of them feel a little strange.

They knew that Danzo had always supported Orochimaru to become the Fourth Hokage, so why did he suddenly change his mind today? This left the two of them puzzled.

At this time, only the Third Hokage was still smoking silently, and did not immediately join the discussion with his friends.

As one of the disciples of the Third Hokage, Orochimaru knew the character of his favorite disciple very well. After all, he had watched him grow up.

It can be said that when he went to ask Orochimaru and Orochimaru responded with silence, he knew that at least half of the rumors in the village were true.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that he also knew that the rumor was spread by his friend Danzo.

He also knew what Danzo was thinking, which was simply that he wanted to run for the position of Hokage himself.

Danzo has always had fantasies about the position of Hokage, and the Third Hokage has always been clear about this. ..

But, this is the only thing he would not do as Danzo wanted!
