I Defected Before the Night of the Genocide

Hearing them discussing this matter, the three generations thought of Naruto.

He looked at Danzo: "You haven't forgotten what I said, the ceremony of replacing the pillar force is fake."

Using the gimmick of replacing the human pillar to attract Obito has made the three generations feel a little uneasy.

It is conceivable that Naruto Uzumaki, who had misunderstood Konoha and ninjas, did not know how many negative emotions he would have through this time.

If Naruto went the wrong way because of this, how would he face Minato and Kushina when he died in the future.

Three generations sighed tiredly.

Seeing his tired face, Danzo frowned slightly.

With no hints on his face, he nodded and said, "Of course, Naruto Uzumaki will be absolutely fine."

Three generations breathed a sigh of relief.

From what he had observed, Danzo had indeed become much more peaceful recently.

Besides, Naruto is a child of the fourth generation, Danzo should know how to behave.

……

Edge of the Fire Nation.

The ship carrying Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi finally docked.

"Thank you!"

After thanking the crew, Kakashi and Itachi jumped ashore.

"It's been a long time, Land of Fire!" Kakashi sighed.

After receiving the news from Konoha that Uchiha Taki was in Konoha, Kirigakura quickly changed his strategy.

While letting the two of them return to the village, Kiriyin also sent his own messenger.

Terumi Mei and Ao.

"We Kirigakushi have some new information, and it has a little relationship with Uchiha Taki. I believe Konoha will be interested. But this news needs to go to Konoha, and I will talk to your Hokage."

Terumi Mei, who was listed as Mizukage's successor by Master Yuan and other elders but had not yet taken office, had a arrogant attitude and jumped down after them.

Uchiha Itachi looked at her and pursed his lips.

He was a little puzzled.

Taki, who was Konoha's traitor, attacked Kirin, and then returned to Konoha.

It stands to reason that Kirin should suspect that it was Konoha who ordered Taki.

But as far as he could see, Kiriyuki seemed to rule out this possibility.

"Is there any basis?" Thinking of what Terumi Mei just said, Uchiha Itachi nodded knowingly.

"I didn't expect Taki to return to Konoha again!" Kakashi sighed weakly, holding his forehead.

Originally, he wanted to block Uchiha Taki in the country of water, to force Obito's news.

"Does Uchiha Taki really not have the blood to escape?" Terumi Mei asked rudely.

She seemed to be recalling and complained angrily: "That guy actually sucked the chakra of our Shuiying-sama away."

Shidai Mizukage thus fell into a deep sleep, and was only able to stay awake for a few hours a day.

This time, as long as Terumi Mei catches or kills Uchiha Taki, he can justifiably replace Mizukage.

Kakashi frowned: "Taki is a member of the Uchiha clan, and what he possesses is the Xuetsu of Sharinyan."

"Then, can Sharinyan copy Ming Dun?" Looking at Uchiha Itachi, Terumi Mei's eyes flickered and asked such an idiot question.

After being silent for a while, Uchiha Itachi asked back, "Can Ming Dun absorb the tailed beast jade of the three-tailed human pillar force?"

Suddenly, the scene froze.

Terumi Mei tried to condemn the Uchiha family for being a traitor, but Uchiha Itachi taunted her in turn, because the Mizukage of Kirikin was too weak.

Kakashi beckoned with a wry smile, "Forget it, let's hurry back to Konoha."

"Ming, you should also restrain your temper a little."

Kirikin's Ao sighed and patted Mimei's shoulder for a photo, signaling that she couldn't turn her face with Konoha's ninja.

"Humph!" Terumi Mei shook her head in dissatisfaction.

The group continued on their way.

……

Sound Nin Village.

Jiraiya, who found here according to the clues, soon encountered Orochimaru.

"Jiraiya, long time ago!"

Seeing the old friend, Orochimaru licked his tongue and let out a hoarse laugh.

Zilai also looked at him at all and frowned: "Orochimaru, did you instruct Shuimu to steal the book of seals?"

If this is the case, in order to wash away Naruto's grievances, Jiraiya can only fight against him and forcibly take back the sealed book.

"Mizuki asked me for a way to become stronger, I just pointed him to the right path!" Orochimaru showed a gloomy smile.

Zilai also stretched out his hand and stared at him angrily: "You have taken away the book of seals for so many days, you have learned all the forbidden techniques you want to learn, hurry up and return the things to me!"

Naruto is now hated by people in the village for helping Mizuki steal the sealed book.

Jiraiya also knew that Naruto was Minato's child, and of course he didn't want to see him hated by his companions.

With a smile, Orochimaru shook his head: "I'm afraid this will not work, the sealed book is not with me."

"Didn't Mizuki give it to you?"

Hearing Orochimaru's defense, Jirai was a little stunned.

"Hoho!" Orochimaru let out a cold laugh and recalled: "Before you, a guy named Uchiha Taki came."

As if remembering something, Orochimaru laughed jokingly: "Once, in the country of vortex, you still sheltered him!"

Taki!

Jiraiya also showed an expression of sudden realization.

Immediately, he saw Yi Yan behind Orochimaru: "Isn't this kid the two who followed Taki?"

"What about the other one?" Zilai also pressed.

Orochimaru said with a low smile: "The other girl was killed by Taki!"

Jiraiya's pupils shrank slightly, "How is this possible?"

Uchiha Taki had agreed to return to Konoha with him in order to take care of his two children.

Orochimaru seemed to like seeing him in astonishment, licked his forked tongue, and continued to tell him, "Taki is for strength."

Chapter 76 The Rumored Sannin

"The way the Uchiha clan acquired their power is really surprising. In order to open his eyes, Taki killed his apprentice himself and raised another apprentice who hated him."

Facing Jiraiya's inquiring eyes, Orochimaru made no secret of his coveting for Sharonyan.

Orochimaru's eyes were full of enthusiasm, and he seemed to have moved his thoughts about Uchiha and Sharinyan.

Knowing that he has always been obsessed with power and immortality, Zilai also frowned and warned: "Now the Uchiha family is difficult to deal with, don't mess around!"

Uchiha Itachi, who awakened the Kaleidoscope Shaker, has the power to control the tailed beast.

Even if Orochimaru is one of the three ninjas, if one is not careful, it may capsize in the gutter.

Jirai also reminded him out of good intentions.

"Hohohoho... I don't need you to worry about what I'm going to do." Orochimaru let out an inexplicable laugh, showing no appreciation: "Jiraiya, if you want to return to the book of seals, I suggest you look for it. Uchiha Taki."

After a pause, thinking of Taki's previous humiliation, Orochimaru reminded him with a gloomy expression: "Don't think that Taki is still the same Taki from before. With his current strength, even I have no good way to take him."

"Thank you for the reminder!" Zilai also sighed.

Then, he looked at Orochimaru: "Do you want to go back to Konoha with me?"

In order to convince Orochimaru, he even revealed the intelligence of Payne and Xiao's organization.

"Konoha now has many enemies, Payne from Akatsuki's organization, and Obito and Taki who defected. These people are thinking about how to destroy Konoha every moment."

"Konoha needs your and my strength now."

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru earnestly.

But Orochimaru shook his head and rejected him: "I used to be a member of Akatsuki's organization, and Payne's plan was to revive a monster called an outsider golem by collecting tailed beasts."

"However, even if Payne has any conspiracy, it has nothing to do with me." Orochimaru unabashedly showed his indifference to Konoha: "Konoha has nothing to be missed, and I also want to see, old man Consumption What kind of expression would he show if the village he spent his whole life guarding was destroyed?"

Orochimaru hardly concealed his malice towards Konoha, which made Jiraiya realize more clearly that it might not be that simple to bring back this former companion.

But he was not surprised.

If it wasn't for the urgent need to resolve the matter between Naruto and the Sealed Book, he would not have left so easily.

Before leaving, Jiraiya had to ask Orochimaru for news again: "Where did Taki go?"

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, remembering the information that Danzo had sent to him, and thinking of Konoha's upcoming ceremony of replacing the pillar force, he showed a gloomy smile: "He is in Konoha!"

……

"Damn, I don't believe I will lose this time!"

In the casino, Tsunade rolled up his sleeves and stepped on the stool.

Around, those ninjas looked at her as if they were looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.

"Sir, which side are you going to bet on?"

With some purpose, the gamblers gathered around Tsunade, watching her earnestly.

When Tsunade finished betting, these people happily pressed their chips to the other side.

Tsunade sneered with an unhappy face: "You guys just wait to lose the loincloth!"
