The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 262 Hidden Dangers

Konoha Village.

The Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Seishu had already returned to Konoha Village before Kakashi.

And a detailed report on the mission was given.

"There really is such a master?"

The Third Hokage also showed great interest upon hearing of Zen Master Kong's appearance.

Sarutobi Sekishu had clearly investigated Zenku, but the information he obtained could only be inferred from Zenku's abilities:

"Yes, the sealing technique used by Zenkong is completely different from what we usually see."

"He shouldn't be from the ninja world, otherwise this kind of sealing technique would have been famous long ago."

The Third Hokage said in a deep voice, "We can try to make contact with the Akatsuki organization."

"With the graduation of this year's elite class from the Ninja Academy, Chiyo has already incorporated Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, into our Konoha team."

"It seems that the Jinchuriki has been brainwashed by Chiyo."

"We must send him back to Sunagakure as soon as possible before the Jinchuriki has fully developed his fighting ability."

Shi Zhou hesitated for a moment: "The Akatsuki organization and the Uchiha have cooperated before, so contacting them is very risky."

The Third Hokage's eyes were deep: "The Akatsuki organization, a mercenary group, has an ambiguous stance."

"Even if they've had contact with the Uchiha, we still have to give it a try."

"Now that both Jinchūriki are in Chiyo's hands, we don't have many chances left..."

"Knock knock knock..."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Lord Hokage, Asuma has arrived."

At this moment, Shi Zhou's figure gradually disappeared, leaving behind a message:

“Asma and the other two talked with Zen Master Kong, but I was worried about being discovered, so I didn’t go near him.”

The Third Hokage nodded to indicate that he understood: "Let him in."

Asma walked in very quickly.

"Old man, I'm back."

The Third Hokage took a drag of his cigarette, pointed to the seat next to him, indicating that Asuma should sit there.

Asuma didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down on the sofa.

Although Asuma used to be a rebellious and irresponsible youth, he has matured a bit now.

Knowing that his condition was bad, he ran back from Daming Prefecture on his own.

"Did you see Master Chankong last?"

Asuma paused for a moment, then looked a little annoyed: "You've let Uncle Shizhou follow me again?"

The Third Hokage tapped the table with his pipe: "You're overthinking it. Shi Zhou was also there to gather intelligence."

Asuma didn't know if the Third Hokage was telling the truth or not, but he was no longer a rebellious youth, so he didn't care too much.

"Yes, I had a brief conversation with Zenkong..."

Knowing what the Third Hokage wanted to ask, Asuma told him everything about their conversation with Zenku.

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage's mind immediately became active.

It seems we can let Sunagakure give it a try.

……

Uchiha clan.

Orochimaru's laboratory.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

Orochimaru formed hand seals and slammed them on the ground, activating the array.

The talisman quickly covered an offering.

Then, appearing before Orochimaru and Chiyo was: Shimura Danzo!

Orochimaru has completely taken control of Danzo.

Danzo, who used to be ruthless and vicious, now stands there like a fool.

Now that Qianyao is preparing to take action, it's natural that they need to either increase their own trump cards or expose the opponent's.

The Third Hokage didn't have many cards to play; the only one that could threaten Chiyo's chances of becoming Hokage was Tsunade.

However, this card is not held firmly in the hands of the third generation.

Chiyo summoned Danzo because he wanted to poach Tsunade.

Orochimaru glanced at Danzo, a cold smile playing on his lips:

"I had imagined countless ways Danzo could die, but he chose a way that I could never have guessed."

Qianyao spread his hands: "To be honest, I never thought that this schemer would have such a day when he messed things up."

Orochimaru's horizons have broadened over the years as he has collaborated with Chiyo.

Danzo's past schemes and tricks are now beneath Orochimaru's notice.

However, there is one thing that is still very important.

"Does Nawaki's death have anything to do with you?" Orochimaru asked, forming hand seals.

Danzo, like a puppet on a string, slowly spoke, "Yes."

Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with a cold light.

His change of heart, his beginning to deeply contemplate the meaning of life, all stemmed from this incident.

The sudden death of Nawaki made Orochimaru realize the fragility and impermanence of life.

This also became an important opportunity for him to embark on the path of researching eternal life.

Now that he has learned that Danzo is indeed involved, Orochimaru is clearly enraged.

"Explain the cause and effect of what killed the rope tree clearly."

Danzo replied mechanically and idiotically, "Although our teacher is dead, the Senju clan is still very powerful."

Hiruzen said that if things continue like this, the next Hokage will still be a member of the Senju clan.

"Why not cut down the rope tree and the Kato?"

"Hiruzen encouraged Nawaki, making Nawaki want to go to the battlefield alone."

"I leaked Rope Tree's whereabouts in advance, allowing the enemy to set a trap."

"In the end, they successfully blew up Rope Tree."

Senyao listened with great interest. It seemed that as soon as Tobirama Senju died, Hiruzen Sarutobi was already looking to eliminate his rivals.

I don't know if it was because he had been suppressed by Tobirama Senju for too long, or if his mindset started to swell after suddenly obtaining the Hokage position.

Qianyao asked, "How did you manage to kill Kato Dan?"

Under Orochimaru's control, Danzo continued his idiotic answers:

"Knowing that he would use spirit transformation techniques to kill enemies, he had someone recommend several places where Kato Dan could hide in advance."

"Then they told the enemy about these locations."

Qianyao clapped his hands: "Brilliant, truly brilliant."

What were the causes and consequences of Sakumo Hatake's death?

Danzo continued, "Sakumo Hatake has too much prestige; he could easily become the next Hokage."

"Hiruzen knew that Sakumo Hatake was proud, so he instructed me to send a large number of ANBU to spread rumors about Sakumo Hatake."

"In the end, he successfully forced Sakumo Hatake to his death."

Orochimaru didn't need to ask about the Wood Release experiments, because he was the person involved.

He knew that the conditions for human experimentation with Wood Release were completely unattainable; those Senju clan members were simply throwing their lives away.

Orochimaru gestured to Chiyo with his eyes, as if to say, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Qianyao lowered his head and thought for a moment before asking, "Why did you go to study the secret techniques of the Earth Spider Clan?"

"In order to accelerate the research of the Bull King Project."

"Bull-Headed Heavenly King!?" Qian Yao gasped.

This thing dates back to Boruto's time.

Sumire's father, Shigaraki Tanuki, was a member left behind by the Root.

It took more than ten years of research to develop.

It can create a summoning beast called Nue, which can absorb chakra to grow larger and eventually explode.

Actually, this is nothing.

Most importantly, Nue's explosion ultimately caused the subspace to shatter.

This led to Jinpu discovering that the Otsutsuki clan on the Ninja Star had betrayed them.

Come and investigate.

The current ninja stars will still face some difficulties in dealing with the Otsutsuki clan.

Fortunately, Danzo overplayed his hand and destroyed all the roots.
