Akihara Kagura shook her head and sang a counter-tune: "Why bother about whether their souls surrender or not, as long as their bodies stop resisting..."
"Okay, just do as I say!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at everyone present, then at Akihara Kagura, who seemed still a little unconvinced, and continued: "Kagura, follow the Hokage's order, and the Root personnel should also participate in the investigation!"
Akihara Kagura directly gave the results of the Root's investigation: "The results of the Root's investigation are that the Sand Village, the Mist Village, the Sound Village, and the Grass Village are all in collusion with Orochimaru, and they must be resolutely eliminated..."
"Do things seriously!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not believe Akihara Kagura's truth.
"Ok."
Akihara Kagura shook her head helplessly, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave here, leaving behind only a sentence that the previous generation of Root leaders often said.
"Third Hokage, you will regret this."
"Kagura, I am still the Hokage..."
Chapter 199: Kabuto, help me revive Kato Dan first
"Kagura's idea is too extreme."
After Akihara Kagura left, the two Hokage advisors, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, immediately started nagging about the inappropriateness of Akihara Kagura.
"If Kagura follows his idea, Konoha will definitely come into conflict with the major ninja villages, which will give Orochimaru and Danzo the opportunity to harm Konoha."
"Although Kagura is very powerful, it is inevitable that Konoha will fall into a greater crisis. This little guy is still not suitable to be the successor..."
"I know."
Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe, glanced at the group of jonin present, waved his hand and said: "The most important thing now is to ensure the smooth progress of the Chunin Exam. Everyone must be on high alert and do their best to check for strange ninjas that have entered Konoha!"
Utatane Koharu glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and added, "In addition to this, we also need to secretly investigate whether there are any ninjas colluding with Orochimaru in the village..."
Orochimaru once had power and status in Konoha, and it is very likely that some ninjas like Mizuki became spies planted by Orochimaru in Konoha.
"What about Kagura?"
Mitomon En raised a question and continued, "The Root ninjas around Kagura are all former subordinates of Shimura Danzo. Should we send the Anbu to guard the Root base..."
Utane Koharu also agreed with Mitomon En's opinion and continued, "At the beginning, Akihara Kagura proposed to kill those people. In order to avoid killing innocent people and wasting this power, he had to put these people in his roots. Are these people really loyal..."
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt a headache.
Of course, if they mentioned this to Akihara Kagura, Akihara Kagura would most likely suggest killing those dual bloodline ninjas of the Root.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and decided to issue an order: "All dual bloodline ninjas of the Root are strictly prohibited from moving without permission and are not allowed to leave the Root base during the Chunin Exam."
"Will Kagura have any objections?"
Hatake Kakashi felt that the top leaders might not have considered the Root leader's thoughts, so he took the initiative to remind them: "After all, the Root ninjas are his subordinates..."
"Do you think he cares about his subordinates?"
Utatane Koharu asked a question that was irrefutable.
No one would think that Akihara Kagura, the bloodthirsty Root leader, would care about his subordinates. Many people don't even think that Akihara Kagura would care about anyone in particular. Only his friend Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Kakashi knew some inside information.
"Let's just decide."
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave: "Everyone should remain vigilant. I believe you can protect the village."
"Yes!"
All the jonin immediately responded.
Neither the Konoha high-level officials nor the ninjas had ever thought that what Akihara Kagura said was the truth, because Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo were really colluding with other ninja villages.
Orochimaru met with the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, hoping to have a good talk with Rasa about the plan of Konoha's collapse. He took the opportunity to lead his subordinates to surround and kill the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and then disguised himself as Rasa to meet with the elder of the Hidden Mist Village, the Master, and assassinated the Master cleanly and efficiently.
Orochimaru disguised himself as Rasa.
Danzo Shimura disguised himself as the Master.
Since other people in the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village had also seen the First Hokage who was reborn from the Impure World Reincarnation of Orochimaru, they believed that the First Hokage was capable of defeating Konoha's strongest combat force, Akihara Kagura, and they also approved of Rasa and Genshi's orders to initiate the Konoha Destruction Plan.
The only person who might have discovered the clues was Ao, a jonin in the Hidden Mist Village who had been fortunate enough to obtain the Byakugan bloodline. Unfortunately, the master did not bring Ao with him because he was worried that Konoha would harm Ao, causing the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village to not realize that their leader had been replaced.
Everything went according to plan.
The ninjas of Konoha are still secretly investigating the people who are colluding with Orochimaru. The people who are really colluding with Orochimaru are discussing the final action with Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura.
Orochimaru is dressed as the Kazekage.
Danzo Shimura is wearing the clothes of the Yuanshi.
Akihara Kagura was wearing the casual clothes of the leader of the Konoha Root, and looked at their clothes: "How does it feel to control the power of an entire village?"
"The Sand Village is not that great..."
Orochimaru just chuckled at this.
Because the power of the Sand Village is indeed not that good, and it has always advocated elite ninja education, it is now only the weakest village among the five major ninja villages.
Even when Orochimaru had just pretended to be the Kazekage Rasa, he discovered through the documents sent to him that there were still many hidden crises in the Sand Village. The economic troubles alone could not be solved. Either they attacked Konoha to plunder resources, or they became Konoha's dogs completely.
"The strength of the Hidden Mist Village is also very weak..."
Danzo Shimura, the former leader of the Root, disdains the Hidden Mist Village, but remains loyal to Konoha and is obsessed with the department he founded.
Shimura Danzo snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "As long as you get rid of the monkey, we support you to succeed the position of the fifth Hokage. You must let me take the position of the leader of the Root again. Anyway, the Root is just guarding Konoha in the dark..."
"rest assured."
Akihara Kagura nodded and continued indifferently: "If Danzo-sama is unable to defeat the Third Hokage by then, I will immediately send someone to bring you back to the Root, and you can calmly arrange the candidates for the Root..."
"Let Qugen and Feng go back to the roots with you."
Shimura Danzo did not trust Akihara Kagura's words, and said in a deep voice: "They are my personal guards and old members of the Root. Let them take over the Root and report the Root's affairs to me..."
"can."
Akihara Kagura nodded slowly, and continued: "But the current group of dual-blooded ninjas in the Root were once subordinates of the Third Hokage. Now I can only guarantee the loyalty of some people, not everyone..."
"Humph……"
Shimura Danzo snorted disdainfully, thinking that Akihara Kagura was not qualified to be the leader of the Root: "So many years have passed, and we can't even completely control the Root. We just need to let Togen and Fuu stay in the Root..."
Danzo Shimura's original intention was not to take over the Root so quickly. He just asked his two personal guards to investigate and monitor Kagura Akihara to prevent this guy Kagura Akihara from doing anything secretly.
but……
Shimura Danzo's heart suddenly moved.
Akihara Kagura doesn't seem to have any leadership skills?
This is good. Once the Konoha collapse plan succeeds, he will become the leader of the Root again, and may even gain more power under Akihara Kagura...
"The First Hokage and the Second Hokage will also help us."
Orochimaru looked at Akihara Kagura and started talking about serious matters: "I will attack immediately after you leave. I will arrange for the four Otogakure members under my command to form a Four Purple Flame Formation to create an isolated battlefield and start a cage battle with the teacher..."
"So be it."
Shimura Danzo narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Kagura, do you have anything to add?"
"Nothing to add."
Akihara Kagura had no plans to change the plan, but mentioned an off-field factor: "However, my teacher Jiraiya is back."
"Try to get rid of him."
Orochimaru chuckled and put forward his own idea: "Although Jiraiya's strength has long been different from ours, he still has the potential to cause trouble..."
Orochimaru looked at Akihara Kagura with a smile, as if he didn't care. "Killing him will alert Konoha. Jiraiya is an idiot, it will be easy to trick him away. I will create some other news to trick him into leaving Konoha..."
"alright."
Akihara Kagura had no objection and continued, "That's it. I still have a lot of work to do in the village, and everything is going according to plan."
Inside Konoha Village.
The wind roared and the cranes roared, and the grass and trees were all in war.
When Akihara Kagura came back, after receiving the order from Sarutobi Hiruzen, he did not take the initiative to refute, but just asked Kabuto Yakushi to accompany Karin to practice.
When Kabuto Yakushi saw Akihara Kagura, he took the lead in explaining the new information he had received: "Orochimaru sent me a message, asking me to keep an eye on your whereabouts..."
"Then tell him."
Akihara Kagura didn't care about it at all, and continued to speak to herself: "Anyway, I won't do anything unnecessary. Everything will be done after the Konoha collapse plan is completed..."
After that, Akihara Kagura brought up another thing: "By the way, does Orochimaru know that you have mastered the Impure World Reincarnation Technique?"
"Ah."
Pharmacist Kabuto nodded and chuckled, "If I can't even master this technique now, it would be a great disappointment to him..."
"That's good."
Akihara Kagura nodded and began her next plan: "I will give you a sacrificial material, and you use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to revive one person..."
"Resurrect who?"
Yakushi Kabuto looked at Akihara Kagura in surprise.
"A man named Kato Dan."
Akihara Kagura called out White Zetsu Awei and ordered, "Awei, go monitor Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo, to prevent them from having any tricks..."
"clear."
White Zetsu Awei left quickly.
When White Zetsu Awei dived into the underground and left, Akihara Kagura stretched out his hand, chakra gathered in his hand, and a mass of white flesh-like object fell off from his palm.
The moment this white flesh-like object hit the ground, it turned into the appearance of a White Zetsu, which was cultivated by Akihara Kagura using the body of the Ten-Tails in her body.
"This is……"
There was a hint of shock in Yakushi Kabuto's eyes.
"I cultivated this using my chakra."
Akihara Kagura taught Kabuto Yakushi step by step: "First, transplant Hashirama's cells into its body to enhance its life force, and then use it as a sacrifice to revive Kato Dan..."
"it is good."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded slowly, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there anything special about this person named Kato Dan?"
"Nothing special, right?"
Akihara Kagura thought for a while and continued, "The village leaders recently believe that I am not suitable to inherit the position of Hokage. Sensei Jiraiya will definitely refuse to take over, but there is another suitable person who may become Hokage..."
"Who else is more suitable than you?"
"The last of the three ninjas of Konoha, Tsunade."
Akihara Kagura said the name, but continued indifferently: "In fact, it doesn't matter if she becomes the Hokage. The position of Hokage can be hers, but I must let Tsunade, the future Hokage, understand that without me, the Hokage can't do anything..."
"Tsunade-sama?"
This name is really well-known to Yakushi Kabuto.
When any medical ninja learns medical ninjutsu, he cannot avoid Tsunade's name, because she is the one who truly pioneered the system of medical ninja.
"Yes."
Akihara Kagura looked at Yakushi Kabuto and continued, "The Kato Dan I resurrected was once Tsunade's lover. Even though it was you who resurrected Kato Dan, I think Tsunade will most likely put the blame on Lord Orochimaru. In the future, let Lord Tsunade focus on finding trouble for her old friend!"
"and……"
"Perhaps we'll be able to use that Kato Dan-senpai soon."
Akihara Kagura chuckled and continued, "Who knows, maybe I can save your life and Lord Orochimaru's life!"
"I remember."
Yakushi Kabuto glanced at the White Zetsu sacrifice beside him, nodded and asked: "But, what are you going to do now? Aren't you going to accompany Karin?"
