Before their departure, the atmosphere around the teleportation array in Konoha Village was unusually oppressive.
Under a hazy sky, the two Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tobirama Senju, stood one after the other in the center of the teleportation array.
Once master and apprentice, they now share none of the intimacy and harmony they once had.
Hiruzen stood silently to the side, his expression weary and sorrowful.
The age and haggardness on his face were particularly evident at this moment, as if he had aged decades overnight.
Although he was the Third Hokage, he was more like a cautious prisoner at this moment, his words and actions were full of restraint.
Tobirama, standing in front of him, maintained his usual domineering demeanor.
He exuded an aura that commanded respect.
Although he didn't speak, Tobirama's every move, even the slightest turn of his head, carried an overwhelming sense of dominance.
It makes people feel unapproachable.
This situation caused many Konoha ninjas around to whisper among themselves, and a growing sense of rejection and dissatisfaction towards Tobirama began to grow in their hearts.
The eyes of the many ninjas were filled with sympathy and pity as they looked at Hiruzen, while their gazes toward Tobirama revealed clear doubt and dissatisfaction.
Many ordinary ninjas find it hard to understand why the originally gentle and tolerant Third Hokage would suddenly be treated so harshly by the former Second Hokage, to the point that even his basic dignity was not preserved.
Tobirama naturally noticed the strange looks from the ninjas around him.
He glanced coldly at the crowd around him, then his gaze fell on Hiruzen, who remained silent beside him, and a complex feeling welled up in his heart.
It must be said that Hiruzen was far more skillful than Danzo in winning over the hearts of the villagers.
His gentle and humble demeanor earned him immense prestige and popularity within the village.
The incident involving Shinnosuke alone earned Hiruzen a lot of sympathy and understanding.
No wonder Danzo was overshadowed by Hiruzen most of the time, which is why he went so crazy after obtaining the Sharingan.
However, Tobirama still knew in his heart that his insistence was not without reason. His gaze turned to Kakashi and Tsunade, who were slowly walking over from not far away. At this moment, they were escorting Shinnosuke, whose body was bound by heavy restraints and whose chakra was completely sealed.
Shinnosuke's face was pale, his eyes filled with pain and struggle.
When he was brought before the teleportation array and saw his father, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he trembled slightly with excitement, his lips parted as if he wanted to shout something.
But because of the sealing spell, he was unable to make any sound and could only struggle in vain.
This scene pierced the hearts of everyone present!
Not far away, Shinnosuke's wife tightly hugged the naked baby Konohamaru, her face already covered in tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
Faced with such a sorrowful and desperate scene, Hiruzen remained silent, his eyes filled with extreme grief and self-blame.
This gesture only amplified the sympathy and understanding that the people present felt for him, while in turn deepening their dissatisfaction and disgust towards Tobirama.
Quiet complaints and discontent began to emanate from the crowd:
"This is not the Konoha we know and love. How could they treat the Third Hokage like this...?"
"The Second Hokage is so heartless. Does he really have no feelings at all?"
Various opinions, like an undercurrent, gradually spread throughout the village, and Kakashi keenly sensed this sentiment.
His gaze slowly swept over the surroundings, then turned to the silent Hiruzen and the indifferent Tobirama, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.
This emotional conflict and division has somehow spread throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
Many ninjas in Konoha, and even ordinary villagers, gradually developed strong resistance and rejection towards Tobirama.
Tobirama suddenly turned his head slowly: "Let's go."
These two short words are devoid of any emotion.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade couldn't help but glance at her great-uncle with worry, her eyes filled with deep concern and unease.
She also clearly sensed the dangerous shift in public opinion within Konoha Village, but at that moment she knew she was powerless to change anything.
They could only suppress their unease and worries for the time being and try their best to cooperate with Tobirama.
After all, the upcoming Five Kage Summit and the impending doomsday crisis are the real issues that require their full attention.
As the teleportation array slowly lit up, everyone silently watched the figures of the two Hokage, Hiruzen and Tobirama, gradually disappear into the distance.
After they completely disappeared, the atmosphere in the village did not ease; instead, it became even more oppressive and heavy.
Many people began to complain in hushed tones, expressing their dissatisfaction and doubts about Tobirama's leadership of the village.
The once harmonious Konoha seems to have gradually become divided and uneasy.
The only one who didn't appear in front of the Five Kage Summit teleportation array was Orochimaru.
Deep within the Konoha experimental base, Orochimaru was intently studying the blood sample extracted from Shinnosuke's body, as well as the remnants of the withered wood release left behind after that fierce battle.
In the dimly lit laboratory, his gaze revealed a hint of thoughtful confusion.
"That's so strange..."
He muttered to himself, a rare hint of confusion appearing on his pale, cold face...
"Shin-chan could never be the true source of the Sharingan's power, but if we were to say that the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan was directly transferred to that Buddha statue,..."
This is also clearly illogical...
He held a glass test tube containing a blood sample in his hand, constantly observing the strange chakra fluctuations inside. His expression gradually became more and more unpleasant, and his brows furrowed even more deeply.
Just as Orochimaru was getting closer to the truth, a strange and brief change suddenly occurred silently within the temporary sealing barrier surrounding the entire Miba Village...
Within the once stable and robust massive barrier, an incredibly tiny yet eerily powerful bubble began to disintegrate silently and rapidly from the inside out...
This defense system, which had never been easily broken before, was now dismantled in an instant, as easily as if a gentle breeze had blown by.
A few seconds later, the barrier closed again, restoring everything to its original state!
As if the rupture had never happened, no one noticed anything amiss.
Orochimaru was so engrossed in his research that he was completely unaware of the strange change that occurred in the external barrier at that moment.
He was intently observing the subtle chakra reactions within the blood, gradually feeling that he had touched upon some core secrets. But just as he was about to gain some insight, a sudden and drastic change occurred around the laboratory!
From the shadows behind, countless pitch-black, withered trees suddenly began to churn and boil wildly, like countless long-dormant black snakes abruptly awakening, creeping ominously towards the center of the laboratory.
Sensing the unusual movement behind him, Orochimaru was startled and quickly turned around, a strange glint in his eyes.
Then, he witnessed a horrifying scene...
That eerie and evil heretical image is now slowly and silently rising from the cold floor of the laboratory!
Its massive body exuded a suffocatingly cold aura, and a terrifying and icy chakra fluctuation instantly swept through the entire experimental base, instilling fear and trembling in everyone.
"The Buddha statue at the Temple of Fire..."
"I see.."
After a moment of contemplation, Orochimaru's expression suddenly turned bitter and complex.
"Did you show up here today to kill me and silence me?"
At this point, Orochimaru said with a hint of sarcasm, "I'm afraid even Danzo never imagined that the real mastermind was you."
As soon as the words were spoken, the withered wood escape technique surrounding the Outer Path Dharma Image suddenly erupted, and the enormous energy spread wildly, shrouding the entire laboratory in endless darkness and fear.
Accompanied by a low and eerie hum, countless strange withered wood escapes and swarms of snakes violently intertwined, and a fierce and terrifying battle instantly erupted in the secret chamber.
The opponent came prepared; Orochimaru knew exactly who he was facing...
They hold the trump card that can completely silence them.
but.
Orochimaru wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die!
