The blackening of the heavens begins with Hokage

Feel the reality of the situation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen became depressed.

Even the fighting spirit has faded a lot.

He no longer knows whether the choices he has made over the years are right or wrong. His decades-old gay friends and the current attitude of the younger generation force him to face reality.

Maybe I'm really old

Being too old has hindered the development of the younger generation

Maybe I'm really wrong

It was so wrong that it ruined Konoha's bright future.

His heart was full of entanglements and discomfort. When he looked up at Orochimaru again, he could only say a faint sentence: "Then if you don't take action, what are you waiting for?"

Yes.

After thinking for a long time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was already determined to die.

Death, for him at present, is the best destination.

Once he dies, his faults will disappear and no one will mention them again.

As long as he dies today, at the hands of Orochimaru, a rebellious ninja, then he, the Third Hokage, will also be a good Hokage who sacrificed his life to save Konoha just like all previous Hokages.

No one will blame him anymore

He can keep his reputation

But just when he was about to give up the struggle, Orochimaru looked at him with a smile: "Old man, I also want to help you, but it's a pity that I can't. The hidden dangers you have left for Konoha are really great. There are too many, and you can’t die in my hands.”

Seeing the desolate look Sarutobi Hiruzen looked like now.

Orochimaru's heart was filled with satisfaction.

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen's current performance is enough to prove that Orochimaru's approach is correct and his idea can indeed make Konoha stronger.

People in Konoha will no longer be affected by the flames of war

The mistake was that he underestimated the broadmindedness of these old guys in Konoha.

Hearing the word "hidden danger", Sarutobi Hiruzen's originally dejected expression became solemn again: "What do you mean?"

Orochimaru grinned.

No intention of answering him.

His right hand suddenly rose.

The four sound ninjas looked at each other and understood.

He canceled the Four Purple Flame Formation, followed Orochimaru's footsteps, and left Konoha.

Upon seeing this, the Anbu ninja's first thought was to catch up, but Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped him decisively: "Stop chasing and go see how the situation is in other places first."

Orochimaru's sudden exit.

It really disrupted all the rhythm of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

They were all ready to die, but they didn't die.

Things have become much more complicated. If he cannot die for Konoha, then he will not be able to get the best result, which is undoubtedly bad news for him.

But for a while, he didn't know how to deal with it.

It was impossible to chase them. Orochimaru still had the two puppets of the first generation and the second generation in his hands. If he sent people to hunt them down, it would only increase casualties.There are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the village, and there is no room for him to be distracted.

Moreover, the hidden dangers mentioned by Orochimaru also made him particularly concerned.

After thinking for a long time, I couldn't figure out why.

In this way, Sarutobi Hiruzen was helped back to the Hokage room to rest by a ninja from the medical class.

And this is exactly what Li Yaoxiang wants.

Although so far, Li Yaoxiang cannot 100% confirm the thoughts of Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen, and they have not personally acknowledged Li Yaoxiang's speculation.

This is really a pity.

Unable to satisfy the curiosity deep inside.

But the current situation is undoubtedly the most favorable outcome for Li Yaoxiang. The reason why he appears in Orochimaru's mind at this moment and controls Orochimaru's thoughts is to lead out this situation.

People will always have selfish motives.

Li Yaoxiang is certainly no exception.

It was such a pity to let Sarutobi Hiruzen die at the hands of Orochimaru.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi is retained, he might be able to bring a few assists to Li Yaoxiang.

And more importantly, Li Yaoxiang didn't want to take advantage of this guy who caused Naruto's miserable childhood and had to bear a heavy responsibility, and let him pass away with the name of a hero.

As for the result?

What kind of new Sarutobi Hiruzen will be born?

Li Yaoxiang doesn't care about that much.

Anyway, no matter which path this new Sarutobi Hiruzen chooses to go, he is confident that he can handle it with ease.

that's it.

With Orochimaru's departure.

This so-called Konoha Collapse Plan has also been officially terminated.

Same as the original.

Since Orochimaru appeared as the Kazekage, Konoha began to investigate where the real Kazekage went for Sunagakure Village.

After learning that the Kazekage had died at the hands of Orochimaru, the Sunagakures naturally shifted all the blame to Orochimaru.

The two major ninja villages also solved their misunderstanding.

Continue to be a good ally to the other side.

And under Uzumaki Naruto's repeated insistence, Konoha also promised Sunagakure Village that it would give them certain discounts on resources in the future.

So ever.

The two great ninja villages were all happy.

Everyone goes home.

The next step is to deal with the aftermath.

After such a big thing happened, the daimyo were not in the mood to stay in Konoha any longer. They all couldn't wait to leave this dangerous place.

The chunin assessment had to be terminated because of this.

After everything was dealt with, Konoha returned to peace again, which was almost a week later.

during this week.

It can be said that everyone in Konoha has very complicated emotions.

The person who was supposed to die did not die in the end

This is awkward.

Of course, no one would naively think that this living Third Hokage would not know their little thoughts in that war.

But how should they explain it?

Could it be that Jiraiya said that the giant snake summoned by Orochimaru was too strong, so he was unable to rescue it?

Could it be that three old friends said that Suna Ninja and Sound Ninja were too strong and they needed tens of thousands of ninjas in the whole village to deal with them?

If you say this, you will laugh to death and not pay for it with your life.

There is no solution.

Everyone can only pretend that this incident never happened.

What to do.

Pretend to be crazy.

Anyway, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to settle the score with Autumn, he couldn't do it.

After all, it was the entire village that abandoned him.

Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not be stupid enough to point this matter out. Even if he pointed it out, it would not help, it would only make him more embarrassed.

Therefore, the two parties had a tacit understanding and did not mention the rescue issue again.

And the time has come this day.

The ugly woman must eventually meet her father-in-law.

It is impossible to escape for a lifetime.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the group of people who abandoned him will eventually have to face each other head-on.Sarutobi Hiruzen had no intention of avoiding it.He summoned all the core personnel of Konoha and came to the conference room, intending to discuss the follow-up matters after the whole incident was over.
