To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

"Haha, why are you so anxious, Chonghua-kun?"

Orochimaru's voice sounded from behind him, his voice was hoarse and dry, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, it was creepy to hear.

"Shigeka-kun, I don't know why, maybe it's intuition." Orochimaru said faintly, "I always feel that Danzo's disappearance has something to do with you."

Orochimaru has always looked at Uchiha Shigeka differently, and has the highest curiosity and a deep desire to study him.

From the first time he met Uchiha Shigeka, he felt that he was no simple person.

Uchiha Shigeka is enthusiastic, gentle, and generous... Many people praise him highly and give him endless compliments.

But Orochimaru always felt that beneath the praise of the world, Uchiha Shigeka had a hidden nature that no one knew.

That nature made Orochimaru smell a hint of the same kind - just like the snakes he loved to be close to.

When the news of Shimura Danzo's accident came, Orochimaru subconsciously thought that it was related to Uchiha Shigeka.

"Danzo really wants to get rid of you, Shigeka-kun." Orochimaru was a little excited, licking his thin lips with his tongue. He felt a hint of danger, which made him feel like a thorn in his back, and his body subconsciously tensed up.

"Shigeka-kun is not someone who will just accept things as they come. He will definitely do something to fight back against Danzo's relentless pressure. That's what I think."

Orochimaru stared at Uchiha Shigeka's back and continued, "Shigeka-kun must also be able to make Danzo disappear from the face of the earth. No one can find him, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive..."

Uchiha Shigeka is very mysterious. This has always been Orochimaru's perception and has never changed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also curious about which force could be so secretive that no trace or clue could be found during a search.

Orochimaru believed that if Uchiha Shigeka wanted to, he could definitely do it!

Uchiha Shigeka finally turned around and looked at Orochimaru with a strange look, full of confusion.

"Senior Orochimaru, you are drunk too? I don't understand what you are saying."

Uchiha Shigeka said helplessly: "I have a grudge against Danzo, but any grudge must abide by Konoha's laws and procedures. My grudge with Danzo should have been settled at the Jonin Conference after the war... Who would have thought that Danzo would get into trouble and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Senior Orochimaru, I personally regret that Danzo is missing." Uchiha Chong sighed and said, "In fact, I suspect that Danzo's disappearance was staged by him in order to avoid the post-war trial. Unfortunately, the Hokage does not believe my guess."

"If it wasn't a self-directed show, how come there is no trace at all? Konoha, the number one ninja village in the ninja world, couldn't find any trace. I don't know which force is so powerful that it could even hide it from Konoha."

Uchiha Shigeka concluded: "Sure enough, only self-directed and self-acted can deceive Konoha. As the leader of the Root, Danzo is most familiar with Konoha's search methods..."

"Shigeka-kun, this is just my intuition." Orochimaru said with a smile: "Don't say too much, it won't be long before I know the reason why Danzo got into trouble."

"I really hope my intuition is wrong..."

Although he said so, Orochimaru's intuition has always been accurate. Even if Uchiha Shigeka was not the main cause of Shimura Danzo's accident, there must be a certain connection between them.

......

Chapter 234: Impure World Danzo

Uchiha Shigeka looked deeply at Orochimaru, seeing how confidently he spoke.

——It won’t be long before we know the reason why Shimura Danzo got into trouble?

Uchiha Shigeka thought for a moment and then came up with something.

It must be the Impure World Reincarnation Girl.

Impure World Reincarnation is a summoning technique for summoning the dead. If the person is alive, Impure World Reincarnation cannot be summoned - but Shimura Danzo is indeed dead.

If we want to confirm the details of what happened to Danzo Shimura, who could know better than the person involved?

Uchiha Shigeka sneered in his heart.

Yes, the person involved knew it very well - he knew that he was unlucky, that he met a madman from the evil cult who liked to kill people, and that he was sacrificed to the evil god.

So what if the whole story was provided by Shimura Danzo himself?

The Libra Jūgo clan is small in number and they live in an unknown corner of the ninja world under an assumed name, so it is not easy to find them.

In the original work, the reason why Tianping Shigeo was found was because he did not understand the relevant knowledge of ninja training, and unconsciously absorbed too much natural energy, causing himself to become schizophrenic and a murderous madman.

As long as someone is killed, rumors and anecdotes will spread, which will attract the interest of someone - such as Orochimaru, who will go to investigate.

[At the end of the Libra clan, only Libra Shigeo was left...]

Uchiha Shigeka reasonably guessed that it was because Libra Shigeo's relatives died early that he knew nothing and exposed himself.

At this point in time when the Second Ninja World War has not yet ended, the Libra clan has not yet declined to that extent. As for the disadvantages of becoming a sage, the people themselves know their own business.

He became the head of the Uchiha clan, and the family's secrets were exposed to him and he could look at them at will.

From the long history of the Uchiha clan, he saw some anecdotes that seemed to be related to the Libra clan, but they were not detailed, just fragments.

After becoming Konoha's Chief of Police, he went further into Konoha's library.

However, there is no trace of the Libra clan in the books recorded in Konoha - perhaps it is recorded in the secret scrolls that only the Hokage has the right to view.

In any case, there is very little news about the Libra clan, which can be almost ignored.

This gave Uchiha Shigeka confidence... moreover, he claimed to the outside world that his monster form after transforming into an immortal was the secret technique of the Evil God Cult.

Coincidentally, there are countless evil cults in the ninja world, and each of the evil cults that have made a name for themselves has their own strange and bizarre secret techniques.

One more of him is not too much, and one of less of him is not too much.

Danzo Shimura could not see his true nature as an immortal and only thought it was a secret technique of the evil cult.

Uchiha Shigeka is an Uchiha, and his specialty is the Sharingan, but he cannot turn into a monster.

Uchiha Shigeka felt relieved, and said with a surprised look on his face: "Senior Orochimaru, do you have a way to know the whereabouts of Danzo!?"

"Can you tell me what the solution is?"

Uchiha Shigeka appropriately expressed curiosity.

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Shigeka quietly, and seeing the other party's curious look, he narrowed his dark golden snake eyes slightly.

Orochimaru said calmly, "I'm sorry, Shigeka-kun, this is a confidential matter, so I can't tell you."

"Don't worry, it won't be long before we know exactly what happened to Danzo."

Uchiha Shigeka sighed suddenly and said helplessly: "Senior Orochimaru, don't look at me like that. I can be sure that your intuition is absolutely wrong."

"I have nothing to do with Danzo's disappearance."

Uchiha Shigeka said: "As Orochimaru said, you have a way to know the reason why Danzo got into trouble. When the time comes, you will understand that your intuition is groundless and a fantasy."

"Zhonghua-kun, I am quite confident in my intuition."

"Orochimaru-senpai, your intuition doesn't work with me."

Uchiha Shigeka shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it won't be long before Senior Orochimaru realizes that his intuition is ridiculously wrong."

Uchiha Shigeka said the same thing as Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "Then wait and see the answer that is coming, Shigeka-kun."

......

As Sarutobi Hiruzen's favorite disciple, Orochimaru has outstanding talent and good understanding.

It was not difficult for Orochimaru to learn the Impure World Reincarnation technique. He mastered it quickly and noticed some of the crudeness and shortcomings of the Impure World Reincarnation technique. He began to study and improve it to perfect it.

But before that, Orochimaru needs to use the Impure World Reincarnation to verify the life or death of Danzo Shimura.

On this day, Sarutobi Hiruzen brought Orochimaru to a secret room.

In front of the door of the secret room, Sarutobi Hiruzen pulled down the Hokage's hat, held a pipe in his mouth, and exhaled smoke.

Orochimaru stood quietly behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, excitement hidden in his dark golden snake eyes.

"Go in, Orochimaru." Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly, "Everyone inside has committed a capital crime. Don't worry about it. Use the Impure World Reincarnation without any worries."

This was the first time Orochimaru used the Impure World Reincarnation. He had learned it in theory, but this was the first time he put it into practice.

With Sarutobi Hiruzen watching, Orochimaru had to suppress his eager urge to put his plan into practice.

Now, Orochimaru can give full play to his abilities!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was afraid that Orochimaru would fail in his Impure World Reincarnation, so he specially prepared five death row prisoners.

The door of the secret room opened. Orochimaru licked his dry lips and looked at the five people who were blindfolded, tied up with ropes, and kneeling there blankly.

They offered no resistance and were firmly controlled by the illusion and seal.

"Teacher, aren't you coming in?"

Orochimaru walked in, but found that Sarutobi Hiruzen did not follow him in.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette, smoke puffing out of his nose.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly: "I don't need to go in, Orochimaru, I'll be waiting for your news outside the door."

——Out of sight, out of mind?

Orochimaru's eyes flashed, and he sneered in his heart at Sarutobi Hiruzen's behavior.

"I understand, teacher."

squeak-

The door to the secret room was closed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen waited quietly outside the door. Not long after, the door of the secret room was reopened.

"This speed... Orochimaru, it seems that you have completely understood the Impure World Reincarnation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not think that Orochimaru would fail in his Impure World Reincarnation. It was just a matter of proficiency and speed.

Orochimaru opened the door of the secret room not long after he entered, which meant that he succeeded in performing the Impure World Reincarnation on his first try.

"How is it? Danzo..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't continue speaking.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze passed through Orochimaru and looked straight there.

One of the five death row prisoners disappeared, and was replaced by a doll that looked like it was made of clay, with cracks all over its body.

A smell of death came over me, without a single sign of life.

The deceased was still wearing the same attire he had worn in life, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel familiar and made him feel uneasy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart sank and his face showed disbelief.

"Danzo..."

......

Chapter 235: Fragmented Clues

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly came before Shimura Danzo who was in the state of Impure World Reincarnation, and a hint of sadness flashed in his already cloudy eyes.

After more than half a year of searching, nothing was found, and there was no trace or clue. Sarutobi Hiruzen had a bad feeling in his heart.

Now the premonition has been confirmed. Danzo Shimura was not captured and imprisoned as Hiruzen Sarutobi had expected, but died a violent death - the Impure World Reincarnation was successful, and they really summoned the dead.

Orochimaru came to Sarutobi Hiruzen and observed Shimura Danzo with his pair of dark golden snake eyes.

Orochimaru could vaguely feel the connection between him and Danzo Shimura.

This connection is very tenuous, and is somewhat inconsistent with the notes of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, recorded in the scroll.

Senju Tobirama was adept at controlling the dead, but Orochimaru could feel a sense of stagnation.

[Practice makes perfect. It seems that my understanding of Impure World Reincarnation is still somewhat biased.]

This is the necessity of practice.

Orochimaru's eyes flickered, and he observed Shimura Danzo more seriously and carefully.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Orochimaru appear in his sight and look at Shimura Danzo from left to right, either hitting, kneading, or mobilizing chakra to check the internal situation... Sarutobi Hiruzen was still immersed in sorrow and didn't pay attention to Orochimaru's actions.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in tears and his eyes were dazed, as if he was recalling the past moments he had spent with Shimura Danzo.

click -

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly came to his senses and looked in astonishment as Orochimaru pulled Shimura Danzo's arm off.

"...Orochimaru, you can do the experiment anytime you want, but not now. I have something to ask."

Orochimaru watched as the arm belonging to Danzo Shimura in his hand shattered into pieces of paper.

The paper scraps seemed to be attracted by something and turned into a band of light and flowed towards Danzo Shimura.

The arm that was pulled off by Orochimaru was restored amid the flying of shredded paper.
