A game merchant who started from the ninja world

Chapter 111 I, Orochimaru, Acting Hokage

"Orochimaru, are you crazy?"

Nara Shikaku stared at the Konoha rebel with wide eyes, warily staring at him, and said in a deep voice: "You killed fellow ninjas and stole the cells of the first generation to conduct inhumane human experiments. You are guilty of ten unforgivable crimes. What qualifications do you have to impeach the Third Generation?"

A ninja who defected from Konoha many years ago came back to impeach the Third Hokage?

It feels like black humor.

The accused Orochimaru still smiled, as if he had prepared everything long ago, and said calmly: "Your Ino-Shika-Chou family have always been the accomplices who protected the third generation!"

"I've made it very clear. The ones who actually conducted the human experiments and stole the cells of the first generation were Danzo Shimura and the Third Hokage. I was deceived by them and did a test for them. After I learned the truth, I wanted to expose them but they jointly framed me and drove me out of Konoha!"

"The one who is truly eroding Konoha and destroying Konoha is not me, but the shadow bathed in the sun!"

Nonsense, confusing right and wrong!
Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth and his lips trembled. This groundless accusation made him feel angry but also a little amused.

Danzo and Orochimaru teamed up to conduct human experiments, but he only found out about it when they were exposed. The accusation that he stole the first generation cells was complete nonsense.

Just as he was organizing his words to refute, he suddenly realized...

Earlier, Uchiha Sasuke made a big fuss, and the Sharingan on Shimura Danzo's right arm and the face of the first generation were exposed to everyone.

It was confirmed that Danzo Shimura had conducted human experiments and that Orochimaru was involved.

In this way, the fact that I was soft-hearted and let Orochimaru go, and did not expose and punish Danzo, would be seen by everyone as...

Orochimaru was forced to leave the village by the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura!

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped talking abruptly.

He looked at Orochimaru angrily. He was once his most proud disciple, and it was always others who had to bear some of the stigma and guilt for him. This was the first time he experienced the suffocating feeling of taking the blame.

Seeing that Orochimaru seemed unsatisfied, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, feeling that he couldn't let the other party continue.

He threw out shurikens, pinched his fingers to make seals, and several shurikens turned into black shadows in the sky.

Orochi Style Substitution Technique.

Orochimaru was pierced like a sieve, but crawled out intact, licking the mucus on his face with an undiminished smile.

His voice suddenly became sharp.

"Teacher Sarutobi, do you want to kill someone to silence him?"

"I'm impeaching you for Konoha. You're guilty of a myriad of crimes. In addition to human experiments, you also watched Danzo spread rumors and killed Hokage candidate Hatake Sakumo in order to consolidate your power!"

"During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha clan wanted to come to the rescue but you instructed Danzo to stop them, which led to the death of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze!"

"The orphan of the Fourth Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto, you allowed rumors about the demon fox to spread, while you acted as a good guy and wanted to hold the Jinchūriki in your hands alone!"

"The Hidden Cloud Ninja openly kidnapped the daughter of the Hyuga clan leader in Konoha. You are so weak and incompetent that you even let the ninjas who were supposed to protect the village sacrifice themselves to please the Hidden Cloud Ninjas. As a result, every ninja in the Hidden Cloud Clan is in danger and has become alienated from the village!"

"Teacher Sarutobi, you are too old. Your heart has become numb and your flesh and blood have begun to decay. You have been stealing Konoha's resources for your own benefit and raising Sarutobi's private army. You are no longer qualified to be the Hokage!"

The impeachment accusations, one after another, half true and half false, plunged the atmosphere into a long silence.

Uzumaki Naruto had clenched his fists, wanting to attack Orochimaru, the rebel ninja who attacked the village, but he was stunned when he heard about the Fourth Hokage's orphan.

"My father is the Fourth Hokage?"

"I'm not... a demon fox!"

Uzumaki Naruto raised his head in a daze, his eyes, as pure as a blue lake, revealing a hint of complex emotions as he looked at his third-generation grandfather.

Sarutobi Hiruzen hung his head in shame and whispered: "This matter... I should have told you earlier, little Naruto." "Did you know it a long time ago?"

Faced with Naruto's doubts, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only remain silent.

Not only Konoha, the other four major ninja villages treat their jinchūriki in the same way, but it's meaningless to say these words now.

Uzumaki Naruto didn't say anything else. He held the remaining resurrection coins in his hand and ran towards his small apartment building without looking back.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked unhappy and retorted, "These are just groundless rumors, traitor Orochimaru, are you going to use this as a reason to frame the Hokage?"

In any case, these are not things that can be finalized. Although they can shake the authority of the Hokage, if you want to...

Clang.

Two large brown spotted snakes entangled two cold corpses, head down, and the forehead protectors of the Sound Village kept hitting the ground.

"False accusation? These two ninja corpses have Wood Release cells, so they can allow the two reincarnated Hokage to resist the siege of the three Kages. Sarutobi-sensei, do you need me to ask the Anbu to check?"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and laughed wantonly. All his plans were completely completed at this moment.

"No, I didn't see through your conspiracy, and it's too late to say anything now... What do you want?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally understood the bad feeling that the corpse of the Sound Ninja brought to him.

From the beginning to the end, he was schemed by Orochimaru, whose purpose was to completely crush him into dust.

But what is the purpose of doing this?
"Sarutobi-sensei, please stop saying such meaningless things. I have already reported you to the Daimyo and have removed you from your position as the Third Hokage. I will detain you and conduct a detailed investigation to uncover evidence of your crimes against Konoha."

"In the meantime...I will be the acting Hokage!"

Orochimaru said what had been planned long ago without hesitation, staring at Sarutobi Hiruzen with vigilance.

Fearing that he would be imprisoned, his former teacher became desperate and took action using his terrifying strength.

"Is that so?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprisingly calm.
Since Orochimaru dared to say such words, he must have already colluded with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

In the past, when Konoha had not been attacked, these little tricks would naturally not be used. But now Konoha is in tatters, most of the Konoha ninjas are dead or injured, and with Orochimaru's layers of layout, he, the Hokage, has unexpectedly stood on the opposite side of most people without knowing when.

The defeat is set.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. Even though he was imprisoned, there was still hope for him to turn the tables. As a lifelong ninja of Konoha, he didn't want to resist at all. Was the once glorious Third Hokage going to become a rebel?
Wouldn't that be a huge joke?

"Orochimaru, if I find you doing anything to harm Konoha, I will kill you with my own hands even if I have to fall into the abyss!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked deeply at Orochimaru and was put in shackles by the Fire Country Daimyo troops following behind Orochimaru.

Click.

This sound.

This completely put an end to the plan to collapse Konoha.

The war is still going on. The Konoha ninjas in the border strongholds have lost nearly ten thousand people, but they are still unable to prevent the loss of the Fire Nation's territory.

Half a month later, the acting Hokage Orochimaru convened a meeting of all ninja clans to make a decision. The position of Hokage was changed to national teacher. The Fire Country Daimyo En Akio personally took charge of the ninja village and changed the village to the Fire Country's capital, Konoha Castle, becoming the first military empire in the ninja world where the Daimyo had real power.

The Hyuga family, a stable and time-honored Konoha clan, split up. Hyuga Neji and the branch families that broke free from the cage became the new nobles of the empire. A part of the Hyuga clan, led by Hyuga Hiashi, left the Konoha Empire and were issued a wanted order by the lord En Zhaoxiong.

At the same time, Ino-Shika-Chou teamed up with some civilian ninjas to break into the prison and rescue the former Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was tortured to death and had both legs broken in prison. After repelling the pursuers, they established the New Konoha in the Land of Hot Water and declared permanent hostility with the Land of Fire.

The once strongest village in the ninja world completely fell apart at this moment!
