To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

"...Orochimaru is better at this kind of thing."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a ninja doctor with extensive knowledge, so he could do the research. However, the technique was quite special, and he felt uncomfortable and a little awkward to study it.

——Let Orochimaru come. He is involved in the research of Wood Release, so one more person won’t hurt.

......

Chapter 230: Perfecting the Impure World Reincarnation

"Orochimaru, I need you to improve and perfect this forbidden technique."

Sarutobi Hiruzen handed Orochimaru a scroll.

Orochimaru's eyes flickered and a possibility occurred to him.

Of course he had heard about what happened to Shimura Danzo, and in the past six months or so, the Genin seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and could not be found without a trace.

Orochimaru has always been curious about what force is targeting Shimura Danzo, but there is no news about it at all. The confidentiality is too terrible.

As the strongest ninja village in the ninja world, Konoha is home to many talented people and has strong military strength.

It is surprising that there has been no progress despite the full-scale search.

Orochimaru stroked the scroll.

——So the teacher must have been at his wit's end and actually agreed to let him study this forbidden technique.

Sarutobi Sensei had always been very secretive about this and was quite wary of it, believing it to be extremely inhumane and wanted to put it aside and ban it forever.

Reincarnation of dirty soil!

This is a forbidden technique invented by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and belongs to the category of summoning techniques.

Tobirama Senju used the Impure World Reincarnation to revive the dead and manipulate them, and he also developed and created another forbidden technique based on it - the Multiplying Detonating Talisman.

One of the techniques that Senju Tobirama relied on to navigate the ninja world was the Flying Thunder God Technique, which allowed him to move instantly in an unpredictable manner, turning his enemies into ghosts under his blade silently.

The second is the Impure World Reincarnation plus the Multiplying Detonating Talisman, which allows it to attack the opponent like a human bomb, causing continuous and uninterrupted explosions!

Senju Tobirama naturally has other techniques that are so powerful that they can make people's breath stop and feel desperate, most of which are secret techniques and forbidden techniques that are impossible to learn.

However, Flying Thunder God Technique and Impure World Reincarnation, as the representative ninjutsu of Senju Tobirama, are the most impressive - it can also be said that the most people died from these two techniques.

Impure World Reincarnation is a technique that disturbs the rest of the soul and plays with the dead.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has always regarded it as an inhumane and evil technique...but now, only the Impure World Reincarnation can tell him whether Shimura Danzo is dead or alive.

"Immortal Reincarnation, Sensei. I once asked you to let me study this forbidden technique, but you refused and reprimanded me, telling me not to even think about it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly: "In order to know Danzo's situation, this is a last resort."

"Orochimaru, once you learn the Impure World Reincarnation, use it once."

Orochimaru immediately understood the intention of Sarutobi Hiruzen's words. He smiled faintly and said, "Yes, we have to see whether Danzo is dead or alive first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "If Danzo is still alive, the Impure World Reincarnation will never succeed."

Impure World Reincarnation is a forbidden technique for summoning the dead. It is absolutely impossible for the living to be summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen emotionally hoped that Danzo Shimura was still alive in some corner of the ninja world, but reason told him that the possibility was slim.

"On the other hand, if the Impure World Reincarnation is successful..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say the rest of the words, but Orochimaru understood.

The two of them knew each other tacitly that if the Impure World Reincarnation was successful, it would naturally be Danzo Shimura who would die.

"I see. The reason why the teacher asked me to improve the Impure World Reincarnation is to let the dead speak."

Orochimaru said: "If you want to ask about the specific circumstances of what happened to Danzo, you need to fully ensure that the memories of the dead you summoned are intact."

The Impure World Reincarnation created by Senju Tobirama has a flaw, in that the summoned dead have incomplete memories, speak intermittently, and cannot form complete sentences.

Senju Tobirama did not try to perfect the Impure World Reincarnation. After all, his original intention was to use it in conjunction with the Multiplying Explosive Talisman, not to communicate with the dead, maintain relationships, or reminisce about the past.

Senju Tobirama has a clear and rational purpose for the dead who are resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation.

The summoned dead are tools that can be controlled by the master, acting as human bombs. They use their infinite recovery properties to send continuous explosions to the enemy, causing heavy casualties.

The Impure World Reincarnation version of Senju Tobirama can only do this. After all, the strength of the summoned dead is far different from that of their living selves. They are not even as strong as Genin. They have always been a joke against the enemy and can only cooperate with the multiplying detonating tags to act as bombs - of course, the occasional words of the dead can make the enemy lose their mind, collapse, and lose their fighting spirit.

This is just a bonus. Senju Tobirama will not perfect the Impure World Reincarnation in this aspect - he did not live long enough to perfect it.

Orochimaru looked deeply at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen's favorite student, Orochimaru, thanks to his teacher's trust, is given the right to read the Sealed Book.

However, the techniques recorded in the Sealed Book are not complete. They are either summarized or brief, or only half, with important parts not revealed.

The Impure World Reincarnation is naturally incomplete, but this incomplete Impure World Reincarnation is enough to arouse Orochimaru's interest and make him yearn for it.

Thinking of what Sarutobi Hiruzen said to him, "improve, perfect"...

——Heh, his teacher said it was inhumane and evil, but in fact, his research on Impure World Reincarnation went further than anyone else.

When it comes to Danzo Shimura, the Impure World Reincarnation must be used.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "I'm counting on you, Orochimaru. With your ability, you will definitely be able to perfect the Impure World Reincarnation, so that Danzo's memories can be complete and he can communicate with me smoothly."

"I want to know which force is targeting Danzo. This is also for the safety of Konoha."

Anyone who can take action against Konoha’s top leaders must not be an ordinary force, and we must strike hard!

"I understand, teacher."

Orochimaru wanted nothing more than to agree.

He looked at the scroll in his hand, his eyes filled with enthusiasm for research and rising curiosity.

——What would happen if he was reincarnated as the First or Second Hokage?

If we could recreate their peak strength in their lifetime...

Orochimaru suddenly shuddered, becoming more and more agitated and excited.

......

"Jiraiya, the teacher has just entrusted me with an important task."

Orochimaru looked coldly at Jiraiya who was drinking strong liquor: "Time is running out, tell me what you want to say."

Jiraiya put down his glass, burped, and put his right arm on Orochimaru's shoulder.

Orochimaru frowned and looked at Jiraiya with an even colder gaze.

"Hahaha, Orochimaru, the fact that you can catch up means that your time is not tight, right?"

Jiraiya winked and said, "No matter how important the old man's mission is, it is not as important as the gathering of the three of us!"

"This is our first gathering in many years, Orochimaru."

Jiraiya sighed.

Many years have passed since the outbreak of the Second Ninja World War. As disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the three have fought on the front lines for many years and have not had time to sit down and get together.

......

Chapter 231: Prophecy? I'm curious!

Tsunade returned to the village to train medical ninjas. In the past few years, she has been working in Konoha Hospital and rarely goes to the front line.

And he and Orochimaru...When Jiraiya is at the front line, Orochimaru will return to the village, and vice versa, when Orochimaru goes to the front line, Jiraiya will return to the village.

The two are like parallel lines and have hardly crossed each other in recent years.

"Yes, it is precious that the three of us can meet together to eat, drink and reminisce this time."

Tsunade sighed, then asked Orochimaru, "What important task did the old man give you that requires such a tight time limit?"

Tsunade could feel Orochimaru's anxiety. He was sending out a signal all the time - could this party end quickly?

Tsunade was curious and wondered what kind of important mission could make Orochimaru, who was known for being a cold and calm man, unable to sit still.

Orochimaru obviously wouldn't tell them the specific content of the mission, but they could ask indirectly and get some hints and clues.

Tsunade pondered for a moment and tried to express her guess: "Is it related to the war on the front line?"

Jiraiya shook his head, "Definitely not. Tsunade, you have been in the village for the past few years, and you don't know the front line as well as Orochimaru and I do."

"Although Konoha has had many conflicts with Iwagakure and Sunagakure, the intensity of the war is gradually decreasing."

Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade and said, "Tsunade, since you work at Konoha Hospital, I guess you often receive documents on casualties of frontline ninjas."

Tsunade was slightly stunned. The angle Jiraiya mentioned...

She was thinking about the list of previous casualties, and suddenly, Tsunade's eyes lit up.

"Casualties on the front line are gradually decreasing."

Tsunade took a sip of sake and her face turned rosy, which made Jiraiya look at her sideways frequently.

"I didn't notice the situation here before, but now after your reminder, I have found some patterns." Tsunade raised the corner of her mouth and smiled: "So, is the war going to end?"

"The intensity of the war has decreased, and casualties are decreasing... No one can continue fighting."

Tsunade thought, there was often news of fierce three-way fighting at the front line. Now it seemed that all parties were just pretending, because the village behind them had already been fighting fiercely.

——It’s not that we didn’t try hard, it’s just that the other side is too strong.

Then as the fighting went on, the frequency of conflicts increased, but the casualties decreased.

"The war is indeed about to end." Orochimaru picked up the wine glass and planned to stay and attend the party - although he really wanted to go home quickly to learn the Impure World Reincarnation that he had been longing for.

"Teacher has already started preparing to negotiate with the Kazekage and the Tsuchikage to discuss a ceasefire."

Orochimaru said: "Fighting further will only waste supplies and increase casualties. There will be no benefit at all."

"The reason we joined the war in the first place has long since ended. Any subsequent wars will be a loss for us. Don't you agree, Chonghua-kun?"

Orochimaru stared at Uchiha Shigeka beside Tsunade with his dark golden snake eyes, and a hint of ambiguous fluctuation flashed in his eyes.

"Shigeka-kun has the most say, right? It was you who killed Hanzo of the Salamander, ended the war between Konoha and Amegakure, and allowed us to complete the Daimyo's commission."

Uchiha Shigeka looked calm and said, "Senior Orochimaru, our current enemies are Sand Village and Iwagakure."

Amegakure has been destroyed and no longer exists. When Konoha successfully completed the battle against Amegakure, the daimyo in the capital of the Land of Fire was very happy about it and allocated a large sum of funds for the development of Konoha.

As the person who killed the culprit, Salamander Hanzo, Uchiha Shigeka naturally received the daimyo's commendation and a generous reward.

Regarding the war between the big countries, the daimyo wanted Konoha to teach the other ninja villages a lesson so that he could show off and mock the other daimyo.

But after several years of war, the Daimyo had long lost his original interest, and he let the Hokage do as Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to negotiate an end to the war.

"If we want to end the Second Ninja World War completely, it depends on how the Hokage and his men negotiate."

The war between the various parties that took place in the Land of Rain is now widely referred to as the Second Ninja World War.

A war involving major powers is the Ninja World War.

According to this definition, the Second Shinobi World War was worthy of the name - and the years of war in small countries have never been taken seriously by big countries.

"Chonghua, do you also know about the old man's negotiation for a ceasefire?"

Tsunade looked at them with some depression. Was she the only one who didn't know?

"Teachers are busy with their work, running between school and hospital every day, and they don't know that what's happening here is normal."

Uchiha Shigeka smiled slightly and said, "The nature of my job requires me to communicate with the Hokage frequently. It was the Hokage who told me about the negotiation of a ceasefire."

"Good job!" Tsunade patted Uchiha Shigeka and said unhappily, "You knew it a long time ago and didn't tell the teacher?"

Uchiha Shigeka laughed dryly: "Negotiations are still ongoing, and no results have been achieved yet. I naturally can't tell the teacher that there is no result, which will only cause trouble."

"Hehe, now I can't help but worry."

Tsunade stroked her smooth and delicate chin: "I wonder how the negotiations are going."

"I heard from the teacher that the situation is not bad." Orochimaru smiled faintly and said, "It's not just us in Konoha who want to stop the war. Iwagakure and Sunagakure also want to stop the war."

"With the joint efforts of the three parties, the negotiations are progressing very well. I think it won't be long before the Second Ninja World War ends."

Jiraiya continued, laughing: "It's finally over. Compared to war, peaceful days are more comfortable!"

Tsunade glanced at him, "Did the war delay your spying?"

Jiraiya staggered a little when he heard that. His face turned red and he said quickly: "Tsunade... Tsunade, I am innocent. I didn't peek at all!"

"...I have another complaint from girls here."
