To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

"Orochimaru."

[Hmm, the recovery speed is relatively slow. Is it related to the measurement of chakra or the delicate control...]

"Orochimaru......"

[His strength... is only one tenth of what it used to be. He is even weaker than a student at a ninja school. This is because of me. If he were the second generation Hokage, he would probably be able to be promoted to the level of Genin or Chunin.]

"Orochimaru!"

Seeing his apprentice absorbed in his research, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his voice and shouted.

Orochimaru froze, turned sideways and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Teacher, I heard it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru with dissatisfaction: "Don't forget our business."

"Cough." Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed dryly and forced himself to calm down.

Although the memories of the past are nostalgic, the most urgent task is to find out the cause of Shimura Danzo's death.

"Even if the memories are incomplete, there will be fragments of words that can be revealed, and that is the clue we are looking for."

"Orochimaru, release the control of Impure World Reincarnation."

This is not to let Orochimaru disperse the Impure World Reincarnation ritual, but to release the constraints on the caster and awaken the free will of the dead who were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation.

Only the emergence of free will can drive the flow of memory.

Orochimaru did as he was told and formed a seal with his hands.

"untie!"

hum-

An inexplicable wave emanated from Orochimaru's body, and after being swept by the wave, Shimura Danzo's Impure World Reincarnation came to life.

Pupils appeared in his gray eye sockets, the color of bones, and the surrounding eye sockets were stained with darkness.

"Uh uh uh..."

Danzo Shimura made a sound, growling intermittently, and his body began to sway.

It looked like a rusty machine, or as if a puppeteer was controlling it outside the stage. Shimura Danzo was staggering and looked like he would fall at any time.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes when he saw Shimura Danzo's performance. This was a complete failure.

If Tobirama Senju controlled this failed product as a human bomb... Orochimaru thought that this forbidden technique would never be passed down and would be directly erased.

The pragmatic Senju Tobirama can't afford to lose face with that person.

Orochimaru turned his head away, unable to bear to watch any longer.

"Danzo, it's me, Hiruzen." Sarutobi Hiruzen did not mind Danzo's uncoordinated movements in the Will Village. He wanted to know the answer.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly asked: "What happened, Danzo, who killed you? Do you have any impression?"

"Ah..."

Danzo Shimura reacted to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Even though they are fragmented memories, most of the memory fragments that Shimura Danzo remembers most deeply are of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Beyond that is the moment of death.

Danzo Shimura, who died with his eyes open, spoke in broken syllables and stammered, unable to utter complete sentences.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, listened attentively, and tried to discern the words.

"Monster... tall, strong, wings... big hands..."

"Teacher, Danzo's memory is incomplete, and his words are fragmented and not very useful for reference."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything, but just continued to listen patiently.

"...the religion of God."

After saying this word, Shimura Danzo fell silent. He was still moving, but no longer speaking.

"monster......"

Orochimaru was a little surprised.

The few words that Shimura Danzo said had little to do with Uchiha Shigeka.

Uchiha Shigeka is now tall, but not strong. Monster... Does Susanoo count?

But the Susanoo that Orochimaru saw didn't have wings, so what did that big hand mean? Susanoo's big hand?

And the last "divine religion" has nothing to do with Uchiha Shigeka.

Orochimaru became even more curious about the details of what happened to Shimura Danzo.

So, who did it?

Does this really have nothing to do with Uchiha Shigeka?

"Ok?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyes and his eyes fixed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his beard and thought, "Piecing together what Danzo said, it turns out that a tall and strong monster from some cult killed Danzo."

"Teacher, what do you mean by wings and big hands?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it is some secret technique of the monster to change its form, or perhaps it is that the monster has wings and huge hands..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this with a sigh, "There is still too little information. But compared to the previous situation where there was no progress at all, now at least we have a direction to work towards."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the dead Danzo Shimura in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Danzo, in order to prevent the real culprit behind the scenes from harming Konoha, I will definitely find him and deal a severe blow to him."

Shimura Danzo was stunned and did not respond.

"Orochimaru, cancel the Impure World Reincarnation and don't disturb the peace of the dead too much."

Orochimaru nodded and dispersed the Impure World Reincarnation.

......

Chapter 236: Sarutobi Hiruzen: This is all for Konoha

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched as the body of Shimura Danzo made of dust began to disintegrate in front of him, and a blue, broken soul floated out of it and drifted towards the pure land of Hades.

"Danzo..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils shrank and he murmured softly.

As for the souls that cannot be seen at ordinary times, only at the moment when the Impure World Reincarnation is released can one see them.

Orochimaru looked surprised and stared in trance as Shimura Danzo's soul flew away.

"The soul is not complete... Is it related to the memory loss?"

Orochimaru's eyes flickered as he pondered the connection.

Sarutobi Hiruzen came to his senses and looked at the dust residue, which was a miserable and terrifying death penalty.

His face was pale and he looked emaciated, as if he had seen something horrible. His expression was filled with fear and horror.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes fluctuated for a moment, then disappeared.

For the safety of Konoha, and to find out the cause of Shimura Danzo's death, this is an indispensable sacrifice... Moreover, these people are already death row prisoners who will be executed on a chosen day. It is one of the few merits to let these scum make a small contribution to Konoha...

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and looked at the other four death row prisoners beside him.

They had no idea what was happening around them. They were as quiet as a quail, trapped in the illusion and unable to extricate themselves.

Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's silent appearance, his dark golden snake eyes flashing, he chuckled and said: "Teacher, perfecting the Impure World Reincarnation requires a lot of experimental materials... If you are not in a hurry, you can take your time."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, "There are not many death row prisoners in the village, Orochimaru. I can allow you to capture the ninjas from the enemy village."

"The Hidden Rain Village is already in name only, and those captives of the Hidden Rain Village are useless..." Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly sighed, and said in a secretive manner: "For the safety of Konoha, this is a helpless approach, Orochimaru, I hope you can minimize casualties."

Orochimaru scoffed in his heart, but said calmly: "Yes, teacher, I will try my best."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, smoked his pipe and stopped talking.

"Teacher, we have enough materials for the experiment, but do you have enough of Danzo's tissues?"

Orochimaru asked another crucial question.

In order for the Impure World Reincarnation to successfully summon the dead, it must first have the dead's physical tissue as a medium to guide the soul.

In other words, if the body of the deceased or the physical tissues preserved due to various circumstances return to dust, then there is no possibility of successful rebirth in the impure world.

unless......

Orochimaru thought of the broken soul of Shimura Danzo that he had just seen, and his eyes were thoughtful.

——Perhaps it is possible to directly summon the soul and bind it to the dust body of the Impure World Reincarnation.

This is just an idea. Orochimaru thinks it is worth studying, but this is a matter for later, so let's leave it aside for now.

Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the answer. He shook his head and said, "Danzo is definitely dead. His body was probably taken away by an unknown force."

The body of a ninja itself is a huge repository of intelligence, so it is normal for Shimura Danzo's body to be taken away by the enemy.

This is also the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen is worried about the safety of Konoha.

Shimura Danzo is a high-ranking official in Konoha, with a high position of power and a lot of secrets. If the enemy can decipher and compile some of the information... it will not be a good thing for Konoha.

However, after more than half a year of guarding against the enemy without any action, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a glimmer of hope in his heart - perhaps the enemy did not take away Danzo's body.

Is it possible that Danzo Shimura destroyed his own body before he died?

Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't sure, but he hoped so.

To this end, Sarutobi Hiruzen needs to complete the Impure World Reincarnation as soon as possible and know the full picture of the incident.

"We don't have much of Danzo's tissue that we have collected. Orochimaru, please use it with caution."

Given the nature of Shimura Danzo's work, not much of his body tissue remained.

Sarutobi Hiruzen instructed Orochimaru.

"Teacher, just because Danzo's body cannot be found doesn't mean that the bodies of others are also missing."

"you mean......"

Sarutobi Hiruzen came to his senses and understood what Orochimaru meant.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "Orochimaru, just tell me what you need, and I will leave the task of perfecting the Impure World Reincarnation to you."

Orochimaru, who got the Hokage's promise, smiled even more: "Yes, teacher."

......

"Okay, everyone, the class ends here. Please go back and practice the medical knowledge I taught you today."

The students of the medical class who were immersed in Uchiha Shigeka's lecture suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and suddenly realized that the several hours of classes that they had previously found boring passed in the blink of an eye.

Uchiha Shigeka’s speech was simple and straightforward, profound and easy to understand.

The students looked unsatisfied and regretful.

Tsunade, who was crossing her arms and highlighting the turbulent situation in front of her, raised her eyebrows, looked at Uchiha Shigeka with a half-smile, and said with a smile: "In terms of teaching, the teacher is far behind you."

"Chonghua, why don't you resign as police minister and stay to be a lecturer in the medical class." Tsunade's eyes were like water, sincere and smart.

"If you were to teach them, I think the number of people who would pass the graduation exam would increase significantly!"

Uchiha Shigeka said helplessly: "Tsunade-sensei, you can't just resign as the police chief if you want to."

Sarutobi Hiruzen increasingly relies on Uchiha Shigeka. Now he is involved not only in the work of the Konoha Police Department, but also in criminal matters involving ninjas above the level of Chunin.

Uchiha Shigeka's position and power remain unchanged, but his workload is indeed increasing day by day.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has the vibe of a black-hearted boss, he will never give up such a useful Uchiha Shigeka.

Tsunade giggled, patted Uchiha Shigeka's shoulder and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm just kidding you."

"Let's go, Chonghua, let's take a hard-earned break and go to Konoha Hospital to see the results."

"Oh?" Uchiha Shigeka's eyes lit up and he said, "Teacher Tsunade, did it work?"

Tsunade kept it a secret. She blinked and chuckled, "You'll know when you get there."

Uchiha Shigeka laughed when he saw this.
