Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara

“Defection?”

Orochimaru repeated it subconsciously, and said dully: “In fact, from the moment I accepted the test of my predecessor, I was destined to leave Konoha, but I didn’t expect… it would be so soon.”

“To be honest, since I learned about what happened to my father, I have no expectations for this village.” Nian smiled at Orochimaru, and the smile was somewhat bitter.

“Strangling meritorious officials, dividing power, and letting real heroes become victims of political struggles… If the top leaders continue to be so corrupt, then in the near future, many people will follow in my father’s footsteps. Orochimaru, I’m worried that person is you.”

Orochimaru looked at Nian and saw a familiar determination and sadness in this pair of unfamiliar eyes.

“Perhaps… the path that is truly suitable for me was not here from the beginning.” He murmured.

“You and Bei Liuhu were both chosen by the senior, truly talented people. To be honest, I envy them.” Nian pointed at Bei Liuhu’s forehead. “At first I didn’t know what the senior saw in him, but now I understand.”

“Understand what?”

“This guy is exactly like me.” Nian shook his head and laughed. “Everyone thinks that he desires power, but that’s not the case. Compared to power, what he really needs is recognition.”

“Recognition of the heart of the strong, recognition of his unwillingness to be mediocre, and recognition of his ability to work hard in his humbleness,” Nian said in a deep voice: “It was the senior who gave him the opportunity. Isn’t this a kind of recognition?”

“So, Orochimaru , what do you really want?”

This time, Orochimaru’s eyes did not hesitate at all, and a goal that had been lingering in his heart for ten years came out of his mouth: “Eternal life.”

Nian smiled slightly, “Then, as a close friend, let me lend you a hand. After all, helping you succeed is also a test for me!”

Orochimaru stared at him for a long time, and his expression suddenly became unfathomable, “Perhaps, from the moment I met the senior in the abandoned training ground six years ago, our fates have been tied together.”

…

Soon, hidden in the depths of the dense forest, next to the familiar bluestone, there were two sneaky figures.

“Hey, Orochimaru, is that Nian really reliable?” Beiliuhu followed Orochimaru cautiously and asked in a low voice.

Obviously, Nian’s spirit had been extracted from his body.

“I can entrust my life to him.” Orochimaru said lightly.

“Well, since you said so, I can only go all out!” Beiluo tilted his neck, his handsome face grinning, “But then again, it’s not a good feeling to be manipulated by others at will. In the future, I can’t let him use me a second time!”

Orochimaru glanced at him, “Don’t talk about these useless things. Do you still remember the plan?”

“Of course I remember.” Beiluo licked his dry lips, “Uchiha Nen will cause chaos in the village and attract everyone’s attention. We just need to wait until the passage opens automatically, then sneak in, get the items we want, and then quietly leave Konoha. Someone will naturally pick us up outside the village.”

“Well, that’s about it.” Orochimaru nodded.

“But I still have some questions. Since Uchiha Nen has the ability to create chaos, why doesn’t he act with us? It’s better to act in secret than to cause destruction in such a big way, right?” Beiluo was a little puzzled.

“He also has his own pursuits. The Konoha high-level officials persecuted his father. The past cannot be retrieved, but the depression in his heart still needs to be vented.” Orochimaru sighed.

“Very motivated. When I master the power, I wonder if I will have the courage to declare war.” Obiru sighed, and a little yearning appeared in his narrowed eyes.

“However, this is the secret research institute of the Second Hokage in the past. This is something I never thought of.” Orochimaru sighed.

Obiru stared at Qingshi with a shining look, “I am very curious about how far the Second Hokage has gone on the ‘evolutionary path’ mentioned by that senior.”

Just then, a dazzling flame lit up in the direction of the Hokage Building, and then a violent explosion sounded throughout the entire Konoha Village.

The wind was noisy, shaking the leaves rustling. The two looked at each other and saw a hint of…excitement in each other’s eyes.

“Let’s start!”

Three minutes ago, on the Hokage Rock.

Uchiha Nian climbed up the rock and landed lightly on the stone head of the first Hokage, like a nimble cheetah.

The evening breeze that shook his hair carried a faint chill, and Nian felt a little cold. From this angle, the originally huge Konoha Village seemed to become much smaller. As long as he stretched out his hand, he could grab the entire village in his palm.

He stood on the edge of the Hokage Rock, and the shadow of his forehead castOn his face, the scarlet eyes were hidden deep, and could not be seen clearly in the shadows.

Thousands of lights were lit in the dark night, and the air was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

The years were quiet and good.

But the hero who fought desperately to protect this peace was gone.

“How ridiculous.”

Nian laughed at himself and was about to jump away, but a quick glance from the corner of his eye made his eyes freeze suddenly.

There seemed to be something at his feet, flashing a dull cold light under the moonlight.

He bent down and picked it up. It was a mottled and rusty kunai, with an ordinary shape, no different from those circulating on the market. The only difference was that this kunai was engraved with an ink mark, which seemed to be some kind of ritual.

“Strange.” He inserted it back to its original position, and then jumped on the spot. Two jumps and falls successively passed the first and second generations of Hokage, and landed on Sarutobi Hiruzen’s Hokage Rock.

This was his goal today.

“The past is gone, but someone has to bear the consequences of past sins.”

He shook his hand and threw out a stack of detonating tags, fixed them with shuriken in various positions of the Hokage Rock, and then his figure disappeared and appeared on the Hokage Building.

But this time, before he could take out the detonating tags, seven or eight figures surrounded him.

Each of these people wore an animal mask, but the color was relatively simple, which was a little different from the Root ninja who fought three days ago.

“Is this the Anbu mentioned by Orochimaru?” Nian looked around, his eyes always calm.

“Stop! Who are you!”

“Who am I?” Nian tilted his head, “Just a ghost seeking revenge.”

“Uchiha Nian!?” Someone still recognized him, and a pair of Sharingan appeared behind the mask, “Didn’t you defect? ​​How dare you come back?”

“Shut up.”

Nian suddenly shouted, and a certain disgust flashed across his face, “I never belonged here, how can I defect!”

The cold breath was like a long winding snake, winding in all directions, and his breath was icy cold.

“Do it!” The cooperation of the Anbu members was so tacit that they started to move with just a glance.

Suddenly, in the shocked eyes of everyone, a ray of light suddenly lit up, and a circle of huge ribs covered Nian’s whole body, and the orange-gold light shone brightly in the dark night!

Before anyone could react, Nian raised his sword, his eyes showing a certain satisfaction, “Explode!”

The next moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s Hokage Rock exploded, and the air wave swept through with the rubble, enveloping everyone.

The Anbu were blown away like catkins in the wind, only Nian, wearing Susanoo, did not retreat. He stood stubbornly in place, and in his wide-open Mangekyō Sharingan, he saw the Third Hokage’s face shattered into pieces.
