Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 377 Do You Think I'm Danzo?
After seeing the coffin behind Orochimaru, the Third Hokage's expression suddenly changed.

Although he had never used this technique, he knew that it was the Impure World Reincarnation technique invented by the Second Hokage. It was an extremely evil technique that could bring the dead back to the world from the Pure Land.

But the next moment, the Third Hokage was no longer shocked, but angry.

The coffin behind Orochimaru slowly opened, and two figures, one blue and one red, walked out of it. The Third Hokage was very familiar with these two figures. They were the First and Second Hokage who had died many years ago.

Summoning the dead first and second generations in front of the current Hokage is undoubtedly a humiliation to Konoha.

The Third Hokage could no longer suppress his inner anger, and pounced on Orochimaru who was not far away, raising the Ruyi Stick which was the incarnation of the Monkey King in his hand, eager to smash the traitor to death.

Orochimaru took a few steps back calmly, letting the first and second generations block him.

The First Hokage opened his eyes, put his hands together and performed Wood Release Ninjutsu for defense. Then thick vines emerged from the ground and blocked the attack of the Third Hokage.

The Second Hokage took the opportunity to launch an attack on the Third Hokage from the side.

Under the siege of the First and Second Hokage, the Third Hokage quickly fell into a disadvantage. Even though the First and Second Hokage were not in their prime, he was still no match for these two.

After glancing at Orochimaru not far away, Bai Ye looked at the First and Second Hokage who were fighting with the Third Hokage, and the idea of ​​fighting them came to his mind.

Although the first Hokage who was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation was not in his prime, it also tested the extent of his own strength. With a reference, he could better carry out the next plan.

After a flash of his figure, Bai Ye came to the side of the Third Hokage, reducing the pressure on him.

After seeing Byakuya intervene in the battle, Orochimaru's expression changed, and then he relaxed the restrictions on the first and second generation Hokage, allowing them to regain some of their sanity.

Since Bai Ye is interested in fighting the Hokage, as his subordinate he will naturally not stop him.

This is a good opportunity to test Bai Ye's strength. If Bai Ye can defeat the first and second generations, he will still be Orochimaru of the Akatsuki organization. If not, it means that Bai Ye is not strong enough.

After the effect of the curse seal weakened, the eyes of the First and Second Hokage became much clearer.

After looking around, the two Hokage frowned, and the first Hokage said directly: "Isn't I dead? Is this a village? Why am I in the village?"

When he was halfway through his speech, the First Hokage noticed the Second Hokage beside him and said, "Tobirama, you are studying your forbidden technique again. Didn't I tell you that it is very rude to disturb the rest of the dead?"

The Second Hokage was full of black lines and said expressionlessly:

"Brother, I think you should take a good look around you. You and I are both dead. We were obviously pulled back from the Pure Land by someone using the Impure World Reincarnation Technique."

The first generation said nonchalantly: "That's because you studied the Impure World Reincarnation. I have long told you not to study ninjutsu. The ninjutsu you developed are more dangerous than the last."

The Second Hokage did not respond, but looked at Byakuya, the Third Hokage, and Orochimaru who were present.

Judging from their positions, he and his elder brother should have been subjected to the Impure World Reincarnation Technique by this androgynous guy, and the other party's purpose was obviously to destroy the Konoha Village.

As for why the other party mastered the technique of Impure World Reincarnation, he had no idea.

The most urgent task is to find a way to get rid of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique and kill the ninja who used the Impure World Reincarnation Technique on the spot. If there is a chance, he can also take a look at the Konoha Village after his death.

At this time, the First Hokage finally realized that something was wrong. He frowned and looked at the Third Hokage, then said:
"Tobirama, do you think the old man over there is a monkey? How did he become the Hokage?"

The Second Hokage said with an unpleasant expression: "Monkey was the Hokage I designated before I died. I never thought that we would become the enemy of Konoha. As for the boy next to him, I don't know him."

"You don't know him?" The first Hokage was a little confused: "But I think he is very strong."

After hearing this, the Second Hokage suddenly looked at the First Hokage. He knew the strength of his eldest brother. If even his eldest brother said that the other party was very strong, then the other party's strength must be unfathomable.

But the strange thing is that I don’t think this guy is anything special.

At this time, Orochimaru walked over and said with a smile: "Master Shodaime, Master Nidaime, the time for reminiscing is almost over. Your mission is to destroy the entire Konoha."

Faced with these words, the expressions of the First and Second Hokage became extremely ugly.

But due to the restrictions of the curse seal, the two had no way to resist. They were forced to form seals with their hands and launched an attack on Bai Ye and the Third Hokage.

While launching the attack, they ordered Byakuya and the Third Hokage to retreat in search of more reinforcements.

Bai Ye shook his head slightly, then put his hands together and performed Wood Release: Tree World Advent Jutsu to offset the Wood Release Ninjutsu that the First Hokage was performing.

After seeing this scene, both the first and second generation were stunned.

If they saw it correctly, Bai Ye was actually using Wood Release Ninjutsu, and judging from the scale of Wood Release, Bai Ye undoubtedly possessed the combat power of a Kage.

Thinking of this, the first and second Hokage were relieved and said with emotion: "Monkey, you have cultivated a good talent over the years. He even made the Wood Release Bloodline Genkai appear again in Konoha."

The Third Hokage blushed and explained, "Shodai-sama, Tobirama-sensei, Byakuya is not a ninja from Konohagakure. He is a ninja from the Hidden Rain Village. He is here as a guest in Konoha."

"You said he's not a Konoha ninja?"

The First and Second Hokage looked at each other, unable to believe what the Third Hokage said.

It is hard to believe that the Wood Release Ninja in the Konoha Village is not a Konoha ninja. It makes people wonder if there is something unknown behind it.

Orochimaru smiled playfully and then said:

"Isn't it normal that a Wood Release Ninja is not a Konoha Ninja? First and second generation, you should ask your teacher what he has done over the years to make Konoha what it is now."

After a pause, Orochimaru continued, "In the current ninja world, there are no Senju, Uchiha, and Uzumaki clans anymore. They have long become history."

Orochimaru's words shocked the first and second generations. They looked at the third generation and asked, "Monkey, is what he said true? And from his description, you are his teacher?"

The Third Hokage smiled bitterly and nodded:

"Orochimaru is my disciple, and everything he said is true. After Tobirama-sensei died, the Senju clan disbanded, and the Uzumaki clan was besieged by several major ninja villages and disappeared from the ninja world. A few years ago, the Uchiha clan launched a rebellion and is no longer a Konoha ninja."

"This is all my fault..." The Second Hokage looked at the Third Hokage with a complicated look in his eyes, and then he said:
"No, Monkey, I believe you have your reasons. Your presence here to protect Konoha is enough to prove yourself."

"Now all you have to do is stay alive and lead the remaining Konoha ninjas to resist."

Orochimaru said with a rather unhappy expression: "Master Tobirama, I haven't had enough fun with the teacher yet? Why did you decide to let him escape without authorization? He is the Hokage of the village!"

The Second Hokage sneered and said, "You should worry about yourself first. I am the inventor of the Impure World Reincarnation. You don't think this technique can restrict my actions, do you?"

After saying that, the Second Hokage formed seals with his hands, trying to break free from the caster's control.

The next moment, the Second Hokage's face turned ugly. He did not escape Orochimaru's control and could only look hopefully at the First Hokage standing beside him.

The first Hokage had no interest in breaking free of control, he was fighting Byakuya.

After they were unable to defeat each other using Wood Release, he and Bai Ye began to compete in physical skills. During the fight, he discovered that Bai Ye could also use the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique, and he immediately became interested.

Gradually, the Second Generation Hokage also discovered that something was wrong. Bai Ye's use of ninjutsu seemed too familiar to him.

The sealing techniques come from Uzumaki, the physical techniques are influenced by the Uchiha, and the bold and aggressive fighting style is very consistent with the positioning of the Senju clan.

What's even more terrifying is that this kid's chakra is infinite. How come he can fight with the big brother for so long? Is this kid the strongest in the ninja world today?

In the contest with the first Hokage, Bai Ye gradually figured out his own level of strength.

Judging from the current battle, the First Hokage, who has been weakened by at least half, is no match for him at all. If he wants, it would be easy to seal him here.

But it is hard to say about the first Hokage in his heyday. He was a monster without any weaknesses.

After resisting the attack of the First Hokage and letting the wooden clone stop the Second Hokage, Bai Ye said to the Third Hokage: "Hokage, I will take care of the First and Second Hokage. You go and deal with other things first."

The Third Hokage hesitated a little, but finally decided to retreat temporarily.

He thought that Bai Ye was very strong, but he didn't expect that Bai Ye could actually withstand the combined efforts of the First and Second Hokage. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to deal with Orochimaru, but after seeing the last coffin next to Orochimaru, he became hesitant.

After the Third Hokage left, Orochimaru did not take the initiative to attack.

Firstly, it was because the First and Second Hokage were entangled by Byakuya, and secondly, they had already made a plan for the Third Hokage's escape.

He originally wanted to give his teacher a decent ending, but he didn't expect that the teacher would choose to retreat.

After sighing softly, Orochimaru turned his attention back to the battle between Bai Ye and the two Hokage. Judging from the current situation, it would be impossible to take this opportunity to kill Bai Ye.

The mountain of white night is not so easy to cross.

Until he is sure of victory, he will always be Orochimaru who is loyal to the Akatsuki organization. However, the Impure World Reincarnation Technique is indeed a good idea that can greatly enhance his strength.

As long as we collect enough corpses of powerful men, we might be able to start a great war in the ninja world.

After leaving the competition arena, the Third Hokage defeated several Sound Ninjas who blocked his way and returned to the city.

Standing on a high-rise building in the city, the Third Hokage looked at the examination room and then at the outer wall.

He didn't know whether he should gather people to deal with Orochimaru first, or support Jiraiya and the Konoha defense forces first. He was extremely confused.

It was at this moment that the Third Hokage noticed the ninjas from the Root organization.

Danzo was ambushing in a corner with the Root ninjas, seemingly prepared to sit still and not intervene in the battle between the attackers and the Konoha defense forces in order to preserve their strength.

Danzo's behavior is not the first or second time. On the night of the Nine-Tails, the Root remained motionless. The same is true for the Konoha Collapse Plan this time, and it still maintains its own strength.

However, during the last Uchiha Night, Danzo was the first to attack the Uchiha.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage was filled with anger. He brought several Anbu ninjas and instantly appeared in front of Danzo, asking loudly:
"Danzo, why don't you go to the front lines to provide support?"

Shisui had already noticed the Third Hokage and answered without hesitation, "Sarutobi, I'm on guard against a possible attack. Orochimaru and Rasa's plan won't be that simple. They must have other allies."

"Is this the reason why you are sitting still?"

The Third Hokage looked extremely unhappy, and then he said: "If you don't take action again, I will directly deprive you of the right to form the Root Organization."

Shisui smiled and said:

"Hokage-sama, the Root organization does not rely on the financial support of the village. Do you think your threats will work? And if you had not let Orochimaru go, would this situation have happened?"

"Hokage-sama, you know what? You have been in the position of Hokage for too long."

The Third Hokage noticed the change in Shisui's tone, then seemed to remember something and said, "Danzo, how did you know that Orochimaru and Rasa had joined forces? Did you join forces with them?"

Shisui smiled helplessly and said:
"Hokage-sama, it seems that you are not stupid enough to know that the Root and Orochimaru have reached a cooperation. I thought you would continue to be kept in the dark."

"I originally thought that Orochimaru would kill you, but I didn't expect him to be soft-hearted."

The Third Hokage was extremely angry, but he laughed instead: "Danzo, you actually teamed up with Orochimaru to deal with the village. Do you think that after I die, you can become the Hokage of the village?"

"No..." The Third Hokage shook his head and said, "You will only become a sinner of the village. The new Hokage will only be chosen from Jiraiya and Tsunade."

"Hokage-sama actually thinks our target is the Hokage?"

"Don't you want to become Hokage? Your dream since you were a child is to become Hokage, but you are too dark and not suitable to be Hokage."

"Haha..." Shisui laughed, and then said: "I gave up on becoming Hokage a long time ago, and who told you that I am Shimura Danzo? The Root is no longer the Root you know."

Hearing this, the Third Hokage widened his eyes and asked, "If you are not Danzo, then who are you?"
