Aburame Torune asked the same question as Danzo.
None of them believed that the Cao Ya in front of them was the same Cao Ya as before.
Someone definitely took the place!
Cao Ya was too lazy to explain; let the misunderstanding continue.
"Does it matter?" Cao Ya asked with a smile.
Yes, it's indeed not important. Danzo is dead, and Root is truly about to disband... What will become of us in the future?
For a moment, even the bigwigs in the root world, like Yu Nu Qu Gen and Yamanaka Fu, were somewhat bewildered.
Back in the sunlight?
To be honest, during their time in the Root organization and under Danzo's orders, they did so many shady things that they never even considered walking normally in the sunlight!
Cao Ya smiled and said, "I am Cao Ya. I killed Danzo. From now on, I am the boss of Root. Who has any objections? Who agrees? Who opposes?"
The group exchanged a barely perceptible glance; in truth, they were not very willing to obey "Cao Ya," the man who had killed Danzo.
But Cao Ya didn't seem to give them a choice.
If I really choose to oppose it, I'm afraid... I'll soon follow in Danzo's footsteps, right?
The scene of Danzo's death is still vivid in my mind.
Cao Ya's power is terrifying!
Cao Ya's killing of Danzo caused a great stir. The Anbu members couldn't come because of Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha, but the Root members were fine and had time to come and find out what was going on.
Only these few core members of the Root organization, who were not confined by Danzo, were able to come here.
"What do you want to do, Hokage?" Yamanaka Fu asked incisively.
He keenly sensed that after Cao Ya killed Danzo, he gathered the Root organization and had some peculiar ideas.
Aburame Torune and the others showed surprise. Hokage, that was a position Danzo had struggled for decades to attain.
Cao Ya chuckled and said, "The Hokage position is held by the strongest, isn't it?"
After a few seconds of silence, everyone nodded in unison.
Unlike the Anbu, Jonin, or Medical Corps, Root has always believed in the supremacy of the strong!
Furthermore, Cao Ya believes that in a world like Naruto where extraordinary powers exist, pursuing individual strength is sufficient.
For example, Hashirama Senju, is there anything he can't do?
As long as you can be ruthless!
No matter who disagrees, we'll just push through and finish the job.
Danzo is dead, the Third Hokage should have been killed by Orochimaru by now, Jiraiya has no interest in becoming Hokage, and Tsunade didn't even want to go back to the village before she met Naruto.
This is the perfect opportunity for Cao Ya to seize the Hokage position!
However, he still has to make a significant contribution!
“For example… defeat Orochimaru!” Cao Ya looked towards Konoha Village and smiled.
He then ordered Aburame Torune, Yamanaka Fu, and others to gather the Root members and convey his instructions.
In the coming period, he will visit each of the major ninja clans in Konoha.
"Yes!" Aburame Tokonami, Yamanaka Fu, and others obeyed the order.
Then, they witnessed a scene that left them speechless.
Cao Ya temporarily deactivated the effect of the golden statue, stomped his foot, and actually flew directly into the sky!
Cao Ya, he can actually fly?!
They opened their mouths wide.
In the world of Naruto, apart from a few ninjas with special ninjutsu, the vast majority of ninjas are unable to fly.
However, Cao Ya did not seem to use any ninjutsu.
"Perhaps Cao Ya really can become Hokage?"
Suddenly, an idea popped into their minds.
Descending from the sky and defeating Orochimaru, that's shocking enough, isn't it... Heh, I'm going to be the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!
Cao Ya flew away, and no one noticed him.
The experienced villagers of Konoha hid under the protection of ninjas, while members of the Anbu and some ninja clans fought against the attacking foreign ninjas.
Everyone's attention was still focused on the original Chunin Exams venue.
The battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru!
And there's the First Hokage resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique! And the Second Hokage!
A battle between two Hokage!
To be honest, Cao Ya was already quite surprised that Orochimaru could control the reanimated bodies of the First and Second Hokage.
The Impure World Reincarnation technique was created by the Second Hokage. Don't you know how to counter it yourself?
Moreover, how could Orochimaru possibly control the First Hokage's terrifying power?
Okay, Orochimaru improved the Impure World Reincarnation technique. The First and Second Hokage were impure world reincarnations, but they no longer had the strength they had in life and could not resist Orochimaru.
But even if the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and Orochimaru combined, they still couldn't defeat the Third Hokage?
Orochimaru has to pay the price of losing both of his arms?!
Orochimaru is a bit useless!
"My arm..." Orochimaru was shocked and furious. He didn't know how many emotions were driving him to launch the Konoha Crush plan.
Disappointment with Konoha, disappointment with the Third Hokage, and sending off the Third Hokage?
I think so!
However, it is quite obvious that Orochimaru would absolutely not want to lend a hand in the funeral of his mentor.
"Damn it, the operation is over, we don't need the barrier anymore, let's go back." Orochimaru ordered, and the four Sound Village ninjas who were maintaining the Four Purple Flame Formation dispelled it.
The ground was shattered, and the corpse of the Third Hokage lay strewn across it.
The Hokage who died in battle!
It's not an insult to the Hokage!
"Let's go," Orochimaru ordered. He still needed his subordinates' help. Without his hands, his strength was greatly reduced, and it would be difficult for him to escape Konoha on his own.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
A group of Konoha ninja blocked the road.
Orochimaru!
Suddenly, a voice came from the sky.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
What happened?
Someone's in the sky?!
Cao Ya lowered his head, staring at Orochimaru with a grim expression, and spoke in a righteous voice: "Attacking Konoha, killing the Third Hokage, and causing the deaths of ninjas and civilians, Orochimaru, your sins are heinous! You must be judged!"
"I, Konoha Jonin Udagawa Soya, will bring you to justice!"
Kakashi, Guy, Mitarashi Anko, Kurenai Yuhi, Sarutobi Asuma, and other Konoha Jonin were all dumbfounded.
We can't believe our eyes... Cao Ya, he can actually fly?! He actually dared to declare war on Orochimaru?!
boom!
Without waiting for Orochimaru's reply, Cao Ya uttered some harsh words that resonated for dozens of miles, heard by all the residents of Konoha.
"Cao Ya? Who is that? Our Konoha Jonin?" All the Konoha residents looked at each other in surprise, then became excited.
As expected, Konoha will not be defeated!
Jiraiya, Hiashi Hyuga, Choza Akimichi, Inoichi Yamanaka, Shikaku Nara, and other prominent figures of Konoha were all taken aback upon hearing Cao Ya's declaration.
This Jonin named Cao Ya, has he lost his mind? How dare he lay a hand on Orochimaru!
They want to bring Orochimaru to justice?!
Noticing the attention from all sides and having initially achieved his goal, Cao Ya took action without hesitation.
He transformed into a small golden statue, plummeted downwards, and punched Orochimaru.
"Damn it!" Orochimaru's face darkened. At this moment, he had lost his hands and could not form hand seals. Many ninjutsu were unusable. He was facing a Jonin... no, not a Jonin!
This Udagawa Soya is even stronger than Sarutobi-sensei from before!
Movie-level!!!
“Danzo’s Root members… how could this be…” Orochimaru was full of doubts.
He and Danzo had a tacit understanding in launching this Konoha Crush plan.
Why would members of the root group step forward?
Most importantly, why is this Udagawa Soya so powerful?!
