"You only have yourself in your heart... Do you dare to raise your status even before you die? Sarutobi is so shameful to you!" Senju Tobirama threw down the bloody kunai with a look of disgust on his face, and turned to the water nonchalantly. Doormenitis. "She doesn't want to live anymore, what about you?"
"The Second Hokage, are you still going to give me a chance to choose..." Men Yan lowered his head and asked in a low voice, obviously without any confidence. He knew they had lost the most opportune moment.
"No, no matter what your answer is, you will die today." This time, Senju Hashirama did not stop him. He looked at Tobirama's slowly raised arm and shook his head with a bit of regret.
"Oh, Sarutobi was such a good partner back then. He always had to push the envelope... In our village, we can't stand such people." The somewhat arrogant man made a face, turned around and left.
"The three people over there haven't left yet. It seems like I need to remind you." Minato's mind had already drifted away, and he was a little worried about the three ninjas hiding in the corner who looked like they were just children based on their chakra. After arriving behind the three of them, one person slapped them in the face and returned to the same place again.
"Who is..." All three of them felt something strange. They looked at each other for a moment and raised their heads to look at the corridor.
"The three genin of Sunagakure, they should be the ones brought here by Orochimaru... Then let's let them go. If they don't leave, they will have to be taken away by force." Minato felt a little relieved. His eyes met Toss's one eye, and the aura of a shadow-level powerhouse shot out in one look, scaring him so much that he couldn't help but tremble.
"We have been discovered, retreat!" After saying this in a low voice, he turned around and left. He did not forget to use the unique ninjutsu of the Sound Ninja Village to block the sound of the three people leaving, and quickly left the Hokage Building.
"What's over there?" Senju Tobirama heard some movement, raised his head and pointed to the place where Sunagakure was hiding just now.
"There... there's nothing there." Minato pretended to stretch his head, then shook his head as if he found nothing.
"Yeah. So, what's your answer?" Tobirama didn't care and focused back on the Konoha senior adviser who hadn't been killed yet.
"I am willing to hand over power and leave Konoha." That's right, Mito Kadoyan added without permission, "leave Konoha". This has not been mentioned before.
"Leave Konoha? Your calculation is quite clever. Are you pretending to be dead?" Tobirama was stunned when he heard this suggestion. This is indeed a feasible solution, but out of his heart, he is unwilling to let such a person live.
"Second Hokage, I will not cause any trouble to Konoha...I can travel around the ninja world and never return to Konoha. My rights...return to the hands of Hokage." Mito Kadoyan once again He lowered his posture and suggested in a low voice. The weights became heavier and heavier, and Tobirama's heart became more and more shaken. Not for this life, but for the mood of his disciple, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Having said that, Sarutobi might have to blame himself again if he didn't leave him a way to survive.
But in view of what he has done, he cannot escape the death penalty.
"This is just your atonement...it cannot offset what you did for personal gain in Konoha. It is not that simple to escape this disaster." Minato felt Tobirama's entanglement and knew that his master Sarutobi Hiruzen He was not far away, but he still mustered up the courage to add a sentence, directly dispelling the determination Men Yan had just made.
"That's a good thing... I'm sorry, Kadoba." Tobirama shook his head slightly, and the kunai stabbed into the back of Mito Kadoba's neck, and blood spurted out in an instant. "Sarutobi, it's over, next one."
These people were once disciples of the Second Hokage. When it comes to feelings, he is no less entangled than Sarutobi Hiruzen.
It's just that... for the sake of Konoha, he must make a clear decision without leaving any room for error.
"Second Generation Sir... I'm so lucky. Next one, please allow me to execute you personally." Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't wait to rush out from Orochimaru. His steps accidentally stumbled. When he looked up, he saw someone lying on the ground. The expressions of the two still warm corpses could not help but froze, and the lips trembled as they spoke those words.
"Sarutobi? Can you really do it? It's not that I doubt your ability... but, after so many years, if you could do it, he would no longer be in this world! Sarutobi, for the sake of Konoha, I want to leave it to this young man." Tobirama pointed at Namikaze Minato, his eyes full of admiration.
"Second-generation-sama, I can do it. Compared to Minato, I know that old guy better... Let me help you make me bigger." Sarutobi Hiruzen held on to the wall, swayed for a few times and finally stood firm, his eyes firm. Staring at Senju Tobirama.
"Sarutobi, if that's not possible, I think I'll be more confident if I deal with him, right?" Hashirama smiled at Sarutobi Hiruzen, his expression was like an adult coaxing a child, and that Children just don't appreciate it.
"No need to trouble the First Generation, I can do it. Let me make up for my mistakes myself. This should be the last good thing I can do for Konoha." Sarutobi looked back at Orochimaru and made up his mind. Determined to take the job.
"Sandaime-sama..." Minato slowly stretched out his hand, but hesitated to speak.
"Huh?"
"No, it's nothing..." Waving his hand, Minato walked to the outside of the Hokage Tower alone, staring at the streets where the smoke had not cleared. "Sandaime-sama... if you go to deal with Shimura Danzo... then what will happen to Orochimaru and the two modern Hokage? Although Orochimaru's true purpose is not yet certain, you just rashly let him be in a state of complete freedom. A little unsafe, right? He came here pretending to be the Kazekage..."
But Minato didn't say these words. He didn't want to put another burden on the third generation's heart...
"Sarutobi-sensei... are you really Are you able to do it? Haha, I should be pretty clear about your character, right? You can't even kill me... Mr. Sarutobi, if you don't mind, I want to kill that old guy with my own hands." Orochimaru bent down. He leaned over and whispered into Sarutobi Hiruzen's ear, his tongue stained with saliva wagging around his head.
"No! If I don't kill you, I'll give you a chance to repent. This time, it's different!" Sarutobi encouraged himself loudly, turned around and pushed Orochimaru's head away, his aura suddenly rose, and he walked towards him step by step outside the door.
Stepping over the two corpses...
"Sarutobi-sensei... are you really able to do that? Haha, don't let the first and second generation Hokage down... let's go, you two..." Orochimaru smiled flatteringly, He made a gesture of invitation, and then followed the two Hokages and walked out.
"Minato, what are you thinking about... just follow Sarutobi-sensei, haha, who knows if he can make up his mind..." The Fourth Hokage stood at the door. Orochimaru assumed a rare senior posture and patted his shoulder.
Minato was once his rival, and he was also the one who squeezed him out of the hearts of the Konoha villagers...
But Orochimaru had no hatred, and his reputation was never what he strived for.
That sinister and cunning old man... had different original intentions from him from the very beginning.
If he hadn't had no power or resources at that time, he wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with such a man.
"Orochimaru, what is your purpose?" Minato did not move, staring straight ahead. He only used a little force on his shoulders to retain Orochimaru's hand.
"Haha... I've already said it. This time I come... to clean up Konoha. Anyone or anything that blocks Konoha's development... will disappear in this battle." Orochimaru put it away. Smiling, he turned his head and stared at Minato, a dark aura emanating from his side.
"Really? If that's the case... then why must you use such a violent method? Orochimaru, what I want to know is your true purpose..." Minato still didn't believe Orochimaru, although his expression didn't Fake, but a terrifying ninja who was expelled from the village because of inhumane experiments... would have such thoughts?
"Haha... Believe it or not." He shook his head and left.
"After everything is done, if you are willing, the door of Konoha will always be open to you." Minato was stunned for a second, and shouted with his back to Orochimaru, as if to make up for his distrust of him. Although it is a risk, it is worth it for a powerful ninja who may have a heart for Konoha.
"I appreciate the kindness, Konoha, I will not come back again... Haha, I hope there will be no need for me to come back." Then he turned into a puddle of small snakes and scattered away.
"Don't you want to come back...is it really just for Konoha? Or...can't you let him in?" Minato froze on the spot, thinking over and over in his mind what Orochimaru just said, and his brows furrowed abnormally. stand up.
"Young man, do you want to come with me?" After hearing Orochimaru's voice disappear, Hashirama turned decisively and threw out an olive branch. The spirit of the god of the ninja world was perfectly displayed in this calm action.
Even if you are crusading, you must smile...
"Brother, be serious. He is Shimura Danzo. I don't know what he will grow into now. At least, he will not be weaker than Sarutobi." Tobirama said coldly. The voice came back, and his eyes seemed to be able to kill people. He glared at Hashirama from the corner of his eye, and he was so stunned that he shut his mouth.
"I know..." He glanced at Minato reluctantly, threw away his hand and lowered his head to follow Tobirama, the temperature around him suddenly dropped.
"The God of Ninja...is he so insecure?" Minato looked at the gradually dejected look and felt inexplicably funny. He grinned softly, then formed a seal with one hand and walked away.
...
"Yu Ling, there seems to be some movement there." On the branch, Kosuke Maruhoshi squinted his eyes and looked at a big tree that was constantly shaking in the distance. There were bursts of smoke coming out from under the tree from time to time.
"Huh? It's so messy inside... I can't see the chakra clearly." Yu Ling opened his Sharingan and followed the gaze of Maruboshi-senpai. He could only see an empty tree hole filled with all kinds of chaos. Chakra, and irregular explosions...
"That's a tree hole... maybe Yakumo is inside!"
