Chapter 163 Orochimaru: Sensei, how did you become...?
"Our teacher is so foolish! He actually let someone like Orochimaru become the new Hokage—why don't we go talk to him and say that anyone else would be better than Orochimaru? Tsunade was a perfectly good Hokage before!"
Mitokado Homura clenched his fists, looking equally displeased.
How long has it been? Since becoming Hokage advisors, they've only needed to lie down and collect their money every month. It's been so long since they've done any missions. Besides, they're old. What kind of logic is it to make old people do missions and be ninjas?
"It's no use, the teacher has been completely fooled by Orochimaru, he won't listen to us at all! Damn Orochimaru!"
In the end, the two had no choice but to make preparations. Although they hadn't fought in many years, Hao Lie was a ninja in the past and still had some strength. They didn't really take this mission seriously.
The real problem is Orochimaru's attitude! They were right not to choose Orochimaru as Hokage in the first place; this guy is even worse than Danzo!
"You two old geezers! I am the Hokage!"
Orochimaru glanced behind him and shook his head. Konoha's current situation was not very good. A group of ninjas had died on the way to stop Uchiha Tsuki, and another group of ninjas had died at Naruto's hands. It could be said that Konoha was now very weak.
If Orochimaru still had high-level combat power, he wouldn't want to take action himself.
To show the importance attached to this battle, to the prophecy, and to the Chosen One, the entire high-level and mid-level combat forces of Konoha were mobilized, determined to kill the monster who dared to wreak havoc in the Land of Fire.
Most of the ninja soldiers involved in the operation didn't take it seriously. So many ninjas, all for killing a man-eating monster? What kind of monster could defeat them?
It's not difficult at all. When we encounter that monster, any Jonin could probably rush up and kill it. Just treat it as a trip. After killing those monsters, some ninjas will probably take on new missions and escort the civilians of the Land of Fire to the border.
"Orochimaru, tell me, is the Chosen One real?"
On the way, Tsunade stood beside Orochimaru and asked him about the repeated failures of their plans and the constant setbacks Konoha had caused her to lose confidence. She even developed the illusion that Uchiha Tsukuyomi was invincible.
Some even believe that there is no such thing as a chosen one, and even if a chosen one did appear, it wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat Uchiha Tsuki.
"Of course it's true, Tsunade. You weren't there, so you didn't witness that man's power. I'm certain that unless Lord Hashirama is truly resurrected, everyone in the entire ninja world combined wouldn't be a match for Lord Jigen!"
"Such a powerful person, what reason would he have to fabricate a lie to deceive us? It must be because he has absolute confidence."
Only then will one believe in the existence of a chosen one!
"Furthermore, Lord Jigen did not prevent us from conducting other research."
"I believe that the chosen ones definitely exist!"
Orochimaru raised his head and looked at the sky, recalling the day when his invincible leader was trampled to the ground by Jigen. At that moment, the filter of the Rinnegan shattered in his heart. It wasn't that the Rinnegan was powerful, but that he was too weak and didn't know what a true strongman was in the past.
Of course, Nagato's defeat to Uchiha Tsuki is nothing special; Uchiha Tsuki is a monster who cannot be considered within the scope of the battle system.
The ultimate powerhouse who shouldn't exist, whoever he may be, seems to have deserved to be defeated by Uchiha Tsuki.
If Nagato couldn't beat Uchiha Tsuki, could he not beat them?
In Orochimaru's eyes, Nagato was still the strongest ninja in the world, but not anymore!
"Do you believe it?"
Tsunade lowered her head. It seemed that she had to find the Child of Destiny no matter what; this might be her last hope.
"We must find a way to remove Orochimaru from the Hokage position!"
"Once we get back, we'll see who's qualified to be the new Hokage. We'll definitely find a way to get our teacher and the First Hokage to appoint a new Hokage!"
In the distance, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, two old men, were talking and calculating in their minds.
Soon after, through persistent pursuit, they finally encountered the man-eating monster.
"This is—the teacher!!!"
"Hiruzen Sarutobi!!!"
"Father!!!"
"Sandaime-sama!!!"
"How could it be you!!!!"
The enormous head floated in the air, chewing on the flesh and blood in its mouth and devouring fresh souls. The moment it turned its head, the incredibly familiar face startled everyone present. They never expected that this man-eating monster would look exactly like Hiruzen Sarutobi, an enlarged version of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Hehe, it's you guys! Hahaha—that's right, that's right, it's me, it's me! Hahaha!"
Upon seeing these ninjas, an exaggerated smile appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face. Ninjas, all ninjas! So many souls, so delicious, so tempting! Although he had gone mad, Hiruzen Sarutobi still maintained a last shred of subconsciousness: not to approach Miha. If he entered Miha, he would devour all the people there without hesitation.
However, he didn't approach Konoha, but Konoha was walking towards him!
Looking at so many souls, looking at the former Konoha, would he hesitate?
Without hesitation, although subconsciously avoiding Konoha, he had absolutely no hesitation about devouring all the souls belonging to Konoha, including his own disciples, his own son, and his own companions!
So that's how it is. If this is what a teacher is like—
Looking at the enormous head, Tsunade suddenly realized that if that was the case, then everything made sense. Hiruzen Sarutobi had not died at all, and the Impure World Reincarnation had not been broken. Under such circumstances, how could they possibly summon Hiruzen Sarutobi using the Impure World Reincarnation?
But why? Why did Hiruzen Sarutobi become like this, a man-eating monster?
Tsunade was utterly bewildered, and so were everyone else present.
"Teacher, haha, you actually—it's so sad, you've actually become like this—"
Orochimaru looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi in this state, gently covering his face with a hint of sorrow.
