— The teacher is completely out of his mind, since he allowed someone like Orochimaru to become the new Hokage! Should I go talk to him? Anyone would be better than Orochimaru. Tsunade was doing such a good job as a Hokage!
Homura Mitokado clenched his fists, the same displeasure on his face.
How much time has passed? Since they became Hokage's advisors, they only had to lie down and receive money every month. How long has it been since they went on a mission? Besides, they're already old. Where is it seen that old people are sent on missions, forcing them to be a ninja?
— It's useless. The teacher is already besotted with this guy, Orochimaru, he won't even listen to us! Damn Orochimaru!
In the end, the two of them could only reluctantly prepare. Although they haven't practiced for many years, they were still ninjas in the past, and they still have some power. The real problem was Orochimaru's attitude! They were right when they did not choose him for the post of Hokage at the time. This guy turned out to be worse than Danzo!
—Two old fossils! I'm the Hokage here!
Orochimaru looked back and shook his head. The situation in Konoha, in truth, was not the best. Part of the ninja died trying to stop Uchiha Yue, the other part fell at the hands of Naruto. It can be said that the current Konoha was extremely weakened.
If he had other high-class fighters, Orochimaru would not have acted personally.
To show the seriousness of this battle, all the higher and middle forces of Konoha went on a campaign. They were determined to kill the monster that dared to wreak havoc in the Land of Fire.
Most of the ninjas involved in the operation did not attach much importance to it. So many Shinobi for the sake of killing one ogre? What kind of monster can defeat them?
It was a no-brainer. When they encounter the monster, probably some Jongin will just rush forward and finish it off. It was like walking.
— Orochimaru, do you think the Destiny's Child really exists? Tsunade asked, walking beside him.
A series of recent failures and Konoha's constant failures have shaken her confidence. She even had the deceptive feeling that Uchiha Yue was impossible to defeat.
She began to doubt the existence of the Destiny's Child, and even if it appeared, it was not a fact that she would be able to defeat Uchiha Yue.
"Of course there is, Tsunade. You weren't there then, you didn't see the greatness of that gentleman. I can assure you, if Mr. Hashirama does not truly resurrect, then the entire current Shinobi world, all taken together, is no match for Mr. Jigen! Such a powerful man, do you think there's a reason to make up lies to deceive us? He believes in the existence of a Destiny's Child precisely because he is absolutely sure of it! Besides, Mr. Jigen did not forbid us to conduct other research.… I believe that the Child of Destiny certainly exists!
Orochimaru raised his head to the sky, remembering the day when his invincible leader was trampled into the ground by Jigen with a single kick. At that moment, the Rinnegan halo in his heart crumbled to dust. It wasn't Rinnegan who was strong, but he himself was too weak, not knowing what true power was.
Nagato couldn't defeat Uchiha Yue, but couldn't he defeat them?
In Orochimaru's eyes, Nagato was still the strongest Shinobi in the world. But now — no!
"Do you believe me?"
Tsunade lowered her head. It seems, however, that they need to find the Child of Destiny. Perhaps it was their last hope.
"We need to figure out a way to remove Orochimaru from the post of Hokage!"
"When we get back, we'll see who deserves to be the new Hokage." It will be necessary at all costs to convince the teacher and Mr. First to replace him!
In the distance, Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado were plotting their schemes.
Soon, after a long chase, they finally saw that man-eating monster.
— This is… Teacher!!!
— Sarutobi Hiruzen!!!
—Father!!!
—Mr. Third!!!
"How can it be you!"!!
The huge head floated in the air, chewing the flesh and blood in its mouth, absorbing the fresh souls. When she turned around, an incredibly familiar face shocked everyone present. They never imagined that this man-eating monster would turn out to be an exact, enlarged copy of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Hee hee... it's you, ha ha ha... yes, yes, it's me, it's me!" Ha ha ha!
Upon seeing the ninja, an extremely exaggerated smile appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face. Ninjas, they're all ninjas! So many souls, how delicious they are, how tempting! Even though he had lost his mind, there was a last glimmer of reason in the back of Hiruzen's mind that kept him from approaching Konoha. He knew that if he were there, he would not hesitate to devour all its inhabitants.
But he didn't go to Konoha, but Konoha came to him!
Looking at so many souls, looking at his former village, would he hesitate?
No hesitation. Although his subconscious kept him away from the village, he was without the slightest doubt ready to devour the souls belonging to Konoha, to eat his student, his son, his comrades!
"So that's it... so that's it. If it's a teacher..."
Tsunade looked at that giant head, and suddenly everything became clear in her heart. If so, then everything fits. Sarutobi Hiruzen did not die at all, and the Edo Tensei technique was not dispelled. In such a situation, no matter how hard they tried, they would not be able to summon him.
But why? Why did Sarutobi Hiruzen turn into this? A man-eating monster?
Tsunade was completely at a loss, as was everyone else present.
—Teacher, haha... Just think about it... What a pity... that you've turned into this…
Orochimaru, looking at such a Sarutobi Hiruzen, slightly covered his face with his hand, and a shadow of sadness was reflected on it.
