"Sarutobi Hiruzen is destined to die at the hands of Konoha ninjas."

"He used his classmates as the core in Konoha Village and united several medium-sized ninja clans to create a strong political alliance, forming an unbreakable trend."

"Of course it's not a problem to strengthen the Hokage's power in this way. Even if he is seeking benefits for his Sarutobi clan, it's not a problem either. It's just human nature."

"The problem is that Sarutobi Hiruzen's desire for power is too strong!"

"Hatake Sakumo is the first clear evidence, but the more convincing thing is what happened to the Fourth Hokage in history."

"Namikaze Minato went through all the procedures and officially ascended to the throne as the Fourth Hokage, but the only Anbu ninja he could command was his disciple Hatake Kakashi."

"That's the Anbu. Not only is it a department directly under the Hokage, it's also the Hokage's bodyguard. In theory, it's a violent organization that only the Hokage can control, but it's strictly controlled by the 'retired' Third Hokage."

"Because Sarutobi Hiruzen refused to give up power, even the change of Hokage could not ensure the normal transfer of power."

"In this case, only when Sarutobi Hiruzen dies can the new Hokage take the position normally."

"But the problem arises again. Sarutobi Hiruzen 'puts the greater good first' and never leaves Konoha Village. There is no possibility that he will die at the hands of an external enemy."

"So, he can only die at the hands of Konoha ninjas."

Uchiha You looked calm and whispered to himself, "In history, it was Orochimaru who could no longer tolerate him, and with the cooperation of the whole village, he was sent away, and by the way, he was given a heroic ending."

"But now I am the one who is going to send him away, and I am not here to kill him for the sake of Konoha Village, nor do I intend to bear the infamy of killing the Hokage."

"So, Sarutobi Hiruzen's death cannot be a glorious sacrifice. He must be a sinner who will be infamous for eternity. Make sure that the person I kill is Sarutobi Hiruzen and not the Third Hokage."

Having said that, Uchiha You slapped the ground with his hand, performed the summoning technique, and summoned Miwa Masaya.

The tabby cat that I hadn't seen for a few days had become a lot fatter and looked very cute and round.

Uchiha You couldn't help but laugh: "Lihua-chan, you really gained weight!"

Miwa Masayo said unhappily, "It's all your fault, meow. I helped you deal with the excess natural energy, but you made me eat it for two days in a row. Of course I got fat."

Uchiha You smiled and said, "It's okay, this is only temporary. The ultra-pure natural energy filtered by divine power is unique and has a very fast metabolism rate. It will be completely digested in five days at most."

Miwa Masayo smiled: "Of course I know, meow, and this time I can go a lot further, meow."

"By the way, meow, you sent me a telepathic message for new dirty earth materials, meow?"

Uchiha You nodded and said, "The Third Hokage is blocking the way with a group of ninjas. He is here to kill me, so I need some helpers to kill him."

The tabby cat was stunned for a moment, then he yelled angrily: "Is Sarutobi Hiruzen crazy, meow?"

"You! You did the right thing! He wants to kill you, so you kill him instead. I'll help you, meow!"

As the tabby cat spoke, it arched its body, with the tabby hair on its back standing upright. Its aura suddenly changed, and it transformed from a cute little cat into a gorgeous tiger that proudly dominated the mountains and forests.

She actually ignored her own digestion process and tried to forcibly expel the ultra-pure natural energy that she had absorbed with great difficulty, so as to return to combat status.

Uchiha You quickly reached out to stop Miwa Masaya's actions. These special natural energies were extremely rare. They were the essence that he had spent countless efforts on and filtered out using his divine power.

This kind of essential natural energy can be used as an induction for magic, attracting natural energy from the natural environment and greatly enhancing the power of magic.

This is also the fundamental reason why he can perform the nation-destroying magical art, Sea of ​​Treemen, in his current state.

Of course, due to the lack of control, a large proportion of the essence of natural energy will be dissipated when using the relevant fairy arts, so he deliberately summoned Sanlun Yasyo to absorb it all into his body.

Miwa Masayo's movements were stopped, and she struggled and protested:

"Stupid Yuu, let me go meow!"

Uchiha You naturally hugged her tightly and advised her: "This is something you have absorbed with great difficulty. Don't waste it, Lihua-chan."

The tabby cat's eyes widened, but its pupils shrank into a thin line. It retorted, "It's not a waste, meow! Sarutobi Hiruzen actually wants to kill you, I must kill him, meow!"

Uchiha You shook his head and said, "Oh, my little cutie, the one we want to kill is Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage. At the very least, the Cat Castle cannot be involved, so you can't do anything this time."

"Cat City Pot... But! I can't let you take risks alone, meow! We agreed that when the danger is the most serious, we must bear it together, meow."

"Haha, it's just killing Sarutobi Hiruzen. It's not dangerous at all, so you don't have to take action this time."

"Yuu, what are you talking about, meow? Isn't it dangerous to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen?"

"I promise that for me today, a mere Sarutobi Hiruzen is nothing but a piece of cake."

The tabby cat looked at Uchiha You suspiciously and asked, "You, when did you become so powerful, meow? Then why did you specifically use Impure World Reincarnation to find helpers, meow?"

"Because I still want to live in Konoha Village, so what I'm looking for is a helper who can provide me with 'legitimacy'."

"Meow meow meow?"

"Anyway, help me get three White Zetsu coffins, and the biological tissue samples numbered 001, 002, 013, 709, and 1201."

"When I complete the Impure World Reincarnation, you will understand."

"Good meow."

…

Miwa Masayo twisted his chubby body and took all the items with swift movements.

Uchiha You quickly prepared himself, then quickly formed hand seals, slapped his hands on the ground, and performed a forbidden technique.

Ninja Art: Impure World Reincarnation

As a circular sealing formation took shape, the three White Zetsu screamed as they were wrapped in the grayish-white dirty earth. After being reshaped, they quickly turned into three tall and straight ninjas.

Miwa Masayo recognized two of them at a glance. Her mouth opened wide and she instantly understood what the owner meant by "legality".

The one with long black hair and red armor is the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the one with white hair and blue armor is the second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

As long as they recognize it, Sarutobi Hiruzen will no longer be the Third Hokage, but just a very strong Kage-level ninja, and he can be killed at will.

But the third ninja, the tabby cat, was unknown to him. He was a middle-aged man with a head full of white hair and a very warm and gentle smile.

Miwa Masayo opened her plum blossom paws and asked softly, "You, who is this, meow?"

Uchiha You said with emotion: "This is the purest believer in the will of fire, and the first ninja who directly threatened the authority of the Third Hokage."

"Hatake Sakumo-senpai."

"Well, it's you, Uchiha Yuu. Who brought me back to life?"

Uchiha You nodded and said, "Yes, Hatake-senpai. I used the forbidden technique of the Nidaime, the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, which can temporarily awaken the dead."

"Hmph, Uchiha boy, why did you come to disturb me so soon?" Senju Tobirama opened his eyes and looked at Uchiha You with dissatisfaction and asked, "You actually woke up my eldest brother as well. What trouble did you get yourself into?"

Uchiha You waved his hand and said, "Nidaime, this is not the trouble I caused, and it is not a big trouble. I woke you three up just to be a witness for me."

Senju Hashirama was the first to regain consciousness, but he was also the most confused, so he asked, "Are you a ninja from the Uchiha family? Are you a ninja from Konoha Village?"

Uchiha You nodded and replied: "Yes, I am Uchiha You, a ninja from the Uchiha clan of Konoha Village."

Hearing his answer, Senju Tobirama secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Senju Hashirama asked again: "Where is your forehead protector?"

"I hid the forehead protector."

Uchiha You opened his gray-blue coat, revealing the forehead protector tied around his waist, and explained with a smile: "I don't like to be too ostentatious."

After seeing this, Hashirama Senju scratched the back of his head and laughed, "So that's how it is. Is Konoha Village already so powerful?"

Senju Tobirama couldn't bear it any longer, so he pushed his elder brother aside and asked, "What happened?"

Uchiha You smiled and pointed forward, saying, "Four kilometers away at the Tiger Mountain Pass, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is leading his disciple Jiraiya, as well as approximately 300 Anbu and Root ninjas, in an ambush."

Then he pointed his finger at his nose and continued: "Although I have no evidence, I just think they are targeting me and want to ambush and kill me."

Uchiha Yu made a

"Second Hokage, you know me well."

"Even if the Third Hokage does it himself, I will never surrender, so..."

"I need you seniors to bear witness for me."

"Prove that I'm not the one who started the fight."

"Prove that I...killed those ninjas wearing Konoha Village forehead protectors out of necessity."

Uchiha You's few words made the faces of the brothers Senju Tobirama and Senju Hashirama change drastically. They all had serious expressions, sharp eyes, and murderous intent.

Hatake Sakumo's smile turned into a bitter smile of disbelief. He murmured, "Even the Third-sama has to take action himself? Why is it so? Where is Shimura Danzo?"

Uchiha You scratched Miwa Masayo's chin and said nonchalantly: "There is a reason why the Third Hokage attacked me personally."

"First of all, he has no other choice. After all, Shimura Danzo has been killed by a Wood Release Ninja."

"Secondly, I once called him shameless, a bastard, and hopelessly depraved in front of the Third Generation... He must have wanted to strangle me to death with his own hands."

"Thirdly, I am still a Konoha ninja, and a ninja with some influence in the Uchiha clan. Apart from the Root ninjas, ordering other Konoha ninjas to attack me requires the endorsement of the Third Hokage himself."

Senju Hashirama looked at Uchiha Yu for a long time, then turned to look at his brother and said very seriously:

"I think what this kid said is true. There really might be something wrong with the monkey."

"Tobirama, the monkey is your disciple, and you are smarter than me, so I'll leave this matter to you."

The meaning of Hashirama Senju's words is very clear. If Tobirama Senju can't handle it well, he will take action.

When Senju Tobirama thought of his elder brother's handling style, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly, nodded and said: "Brother, I will take care of it."

Then he looked at Uchiha You and asked, "Boy, what is your plan? How do you need the three of us to cooperate with you?"

Uchiha You grinned, revealing eight white teeth, and said happily: "Second Hokage, you really know me very well."

"My plan is for all of you to hide and follow me to the pass ahead. When the Third Hokage announces his attack on me, you will come out with your faces covered."

"Yes, yes, yes. Just stand behind me and line up. That's all."

"Leave the rest to me."

Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes and carefully examined Uchiha You. After a long while, he said, "Do you really want Hiruzen to die?"

Uchiha You looked back fearlessly and said word by word: "The abscess should be squeezed out in time, otherwise people will die and the village will suffer."

Senju Tobirama glanced at the other white-haired man beside him, and finally became discouraged. He said, "Just follow your plan. I want to see what Hiruzen has become."

Uchiha You smiled happily and said, "As expected of the Second Hokage, you make decisions quickly."

"Then Shodaime-sama, Nidaime-sama, and Hatake-senpai, you will just follow me."

As Uchiha You walked, he said to Miwa Masayo: "Look, my helpers are all here. What's going to happen next is the internal scandal of Konoha Village. Lihua-chan should go back quickly."

Miwa Masayo nodded, ended the summoning state, turned into a cloud of white smoke, and returned to... Uchiha Yu's home in Konoha Village.

At the moment when Miwa Masayo released his summons, Senju Tobirama suddenly moved.

With lightning speed, he pulled out a detonating talisman, wrote two lines of words on the back, and then threw it out gently.

The moment the detonating tag left Senju Tobirama's hand, it turned into a faint white smoke and then disappeared.

Ninja Technique: Flying Thunder God Technique: Guiding Objects

The light detonating talisman flew across space and landed on the golden hair. The owner of the hair grabbed it in her hand. After just one look, she exclaimed, "Damn it! How come it's getting to the point where a conflict is about to break out?"

"Fortunately, the distance is not too far. I will speed up and rush over. Maybe I can still make it in time."

Tsunade with twin ponytails raised her head to take a look at the nearby gate of Konoha Village, then turned around and left without any reluctance.

She hesitated in front of the door for almost an hour, and had not yet figured out how to face the Konoha ninjas after going in, especially her acquaintances.

There is nothing more homesick than this.

She had already prepared herself mentally and was about to enter Konoha Village, but at this critical moment she received a message from the Second Hokage.

After learning that the Third Hokage was leading the ninja troops to ambush Uchiha Yu, the mental preparation she had built up with great difficulty instantly dissipated, and she rushed to the ambush site without hesitation.

"Teacher, what on earth are you doing?"

"You are looking for death!"

"Orochimaru, I've already sent you a letter, hurry up too!"

…

Orochimaru suddenly sneezed, startling the clan leaders of small and medium-sized ninja clans.

The head of the Moonlight Clan asked with concern: "Lord Orochimaru, are you too tired?"

"Although I rushed back from the Kingdom of Rivers in one day and talked with you for more than ten hours, I am not so fragile that I will get sick because of this, Moonlight Tobirama."

Orochimaru touched his nose and said helplessly: "This sneeze probably feels like Tsunade is scolding me."

He stood up, and the Hokage half-sleeves on his shoulders swayed, making him particularly eye-catching.

Orochimaru said, "Through your information, I already know where my teacher went, and I guessed what he wants to do?"

"Alas - for the stability of Konoha Village, I have to go take a look."

A large number of clan leaders stood up and said in a slightly uncoordinated manner: "We leave everything to you, Lord Orochimaru."

Orochimaru waved his hand impatiently: "Go, go."

After everyone left, Orochimaru asked, "What do you think about this, your clan leader?"

Suddenly, a bug flew up from the corner of the room, and more and more bugs flew up, revealing the ninjas hidden under them.

The new generation leader of the Aburame clan, Aburame Shiwei, nodded to Orochimaru and replied, "The Aburame clan is willing to follow behind Lord Orochimaru."

Under the flowerpot decorating the door, the shadow suddenly lengthened, and the black shadow rolled over like waves, and Nara Shikaku quietly appeared at the door.

On the other side of the door, Yamanaka Inoichi had been standing against the wall for some time.

At this moment, the light at the gate dimmed, and Akimichi Choza walked in first, then stood sideways next to Nara and opened the door.

Then another fat man came in. He had big dark bags under his eyes and wore a black hat with a pair of big horns on his head.

Seeing this ninja appear, Orochimaru could no longer remain calm. He took a few steps forward and greeted him politely, "Senior Akimichi Tofu, I didn't expect you to come in person."

Akimichi Norifuge was Sarutobi Hiruzen's classmate, teammate, and comrade-in-arms, but after the Third Hokage took office, he did not hold any position in the village.

He was just like an ordinary jonin, working hard to carry out missions and earn money to support his family.

But whenever Konoha Village encountered a crisis, Akimichi Tofu would silently step forward, standing at the forefront to protect everyone from the wind and rain.

Before he knew it, Akimichi Tofu had become the most admired ninja among the jonin of Konoha Village, and most of them regarded him as their role model.

On the contrary, after serving as Hokage for twenty years, Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation declined significantly.

Akimichi Norifu saw Orochimaru and smiled, "After Shikaku knew what you were going to do, he felt that the three of them might not have enough credibility and it would be difficult for them to gain your trust."

"So he asked me, an old man, to be a guarantor for the Pig, Deer and Butterfly tribes. Please believe that our three tribes are seriously supporting you."

Facing this gentle fat ninja, Orochimaru bowed his head humbly and said respectfully: "You have come forward to guarantee it, how can I not believe it?"

"Hehe, I believe that you, Orochimaru, can do the job of Hokage well, at least better than your teacher, so I stand up."

"Orochimaru, just go for it, I support you."

Orochimaru heaved a long sigh of relief and thanked him very seriously: "Thank you for your trust, Senior Qufeng. Please rest assured that I will do my best."
