In the next four generations of Naruto Orochimaru

"Orochimaru, and Lord Biwako, actually... I should be the one who should say sorry..."

The one who spoke was Jiraiya who was full of dust.

When the Konoha Rebellion broke out, the news of the death of the Third Hokage reached Jiraiya a day ago, and he had just arrived in Konoha at midnight last night.

This is the first time he has returned to Konoha and hasn't gone to the women's bathhouse for so long.

Jiraiya believed that if he had still stayed in Konoha, the Third Hokage might not have died in the battle.

Although it is said that the Third Hokage at that time actually had the intention to die, even if he was present, the Third Hokage would probably still choose to die with Shimura Danzo.

"But... Orochimaru, have you really decided to start a war against other villages?"

Jilai also looked at Orochimaru.

At the funeral just now, Orochimaru used the death of the Third Hokage to guide the ninjas and villagers in the village to hate other ninja villages. Jiraiya naturally thought that Orochimaru wanted to start a war.

During the years when the Third Hokage was in office, Konoha won three ninja wars, and when he got old, he decisively retired and handed over the position of Hokage to Orochimaru. In the following ten years, in the ninja school, He has trained batches of new generations of ninjas, and over the years, their prestige has been extremely high.

Compared with the Third Hokage in the original time and space, although the Third Hokage in this world also has stains such as Danzo, his contribution to Konoha is far greater than his fault.

What's more, he successfully let Danzo take the blame for his defeat.

Over the years, Sarutobi Hiruzen's prestige in the village has not dropped much. After all, the position of Hokage has its own aura in the hearts of all Konoha residents. Even if he is a retired Hokage, he is still the Hokage of Konoha!

But now, this old Hokage, who occupies a high position in the hearts of the villagers, died with the enemy in order to protect Konoha during this war.

This is why the villagers of Konoha are not angry. In the village now, even before Orochimaru starts to guide his words, there are already remarks about launching war and retaliating against the other four major powers and the Akatsuki organization.

"Jiraiya! Stop being so naive! The other four major powers and the Akatsuki organization have already invaded Konoha. The war was not started by us, but by them without declaring it!"

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and shouted at Jiraiya with her hands on her hips.

"Jiraiya, Tsunade is right. Since the war was started by them, then it is up to them to decide when to start the war, and when to end the war... we, Konoha, have the final say!"

"But……"

"Jiraiya, don't you understand? If Konoha doesn't advance, it will retreat. Either Konoha will destroy several other big countries and unify the ninja world, or Konoha will be defeated and divided by other big countries. If Konoha doesn't take action now, can't you guess what the consequences will be?"

Jiraiya lowered his head, he seemed to be a little convinced.

"Is it really impossible to achieve a peaceful world where people understand each other?"

"It seems that mutual understanding between people can bring peace to the world, but if peace cannot be achieved and the whole world is filled with war and hatred, then how can we understand each other?"

After a long silence, Jiraiya finally said:

"Well, Orochimaru, maybe... you are right."

If it is said that the prerequisite for mutual understanding between people is to first make the world peaceful, then what I have insisted on for so many years is actually putting the cart before the horse?

But what Orochimaru said does make sense.

Orochimaru's views on mutual understanding between people touched Jiraiya to a certain extent, but this was not the main reason that affected Jiraiya.

Those things seemed too far away. Compared with those, the issue of Konoha's survival was obviously more concerning to Jiraiya.

After this incident, Konoha will undoubtedly confront the entire ninja world, and it is impossible for him to stand on the opposite side of Konoha.

At the end of the Second Ninja War, he taught children in the Land of Rain. It was the third generation who tolerated him. For so many years, he never returned to Konoha and had been wandering outside. Orochimaru didn't say anything about him.

Now, he feels it's time to start taking on some responsibility.

At least with his status, he can still exert a lot of influence. If he can cause fewer innocent killings, that would be good.

"It's just, Orochimaru, have you ever thought about whether, after experiencing this war, the village will still have the energy to support a massive war?"

"Jiraiya, you really lack understanding of the current village after being outside for so many years."

"Ok?"

"Except for the Mizukage, the shadows in several other villages have been killed, and even the Mizukage was seriously injured by me. It's good that the ninja villages are not in turmoil now. I just need to be at the border of the Land of Rain to contain them. Nagato.”

"The other big countries can block it by sending strong men and leading some of their elites."

"And most of the main forces will first deal with the enemies in one direction first."

"With Konoha's current strength, it is completely possible to achieve these points."

Now Jiraiya understood.

"So, in this ninja world war, we should kill Sunagakure Village first?"

Jiraiya touched his chin. As soon as the Ninja World War started, he would go to the Sunagakure Village and knock them out first. This was an old tradition in Konoha.

Who calls you the weakest!

Not to mention, the current Fourth Kazekage Rasa and the elder Chiyo both died in Konoha during this turmoil.

In the current Sunagakure Village, it is estimated that an old Ebizo can be found with enough prestige to take charge of the overall situation.

"Then Orochimaru, just leave Sunagakure Village to me!"

Jiraiya felt that he should do something, so he volunteered.

Jiraiya didn't think it was that difficult to fight against a half-inhabited Sunagakure Village.

What's more, he also hopes that under his guidance, the hatred and killing will be slightly weakened.

Although he knew it was of no use, he would still try to make some effort.

"Okay, but I'm going to assign you a young man as your deputy. You have to pay attention to training him."

"Oh? The junior you value so much and want to train should be Kakashi, right?"

Orochimaru slowly shook his head.

"Kakashi is injured. I will make other arrangements after he recovers. Going with you this time is another disciple of mine, Uchiha Shisui. One of the enemies has a child jutsu that is a time and space ninjutsu type. Uchiha, if you want to deal with him, it's best to bring an owner of the Mangekyo Sharingan, or a master of time and space ninjutsu."

When Kakashi was chasing Obito last time, he not only encountered Obito Uchiha at full state in Kamui Space, but also a Shukaku One-Tailed who was controlled by Obito using the secret technique of Mangekyō Sharingan.

That secret technique was one of Madara's legacies to Obito.

Kakashi had already experienced a long battle, and his own condition was insufficient. If it weren't for mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique, he might really have overturned in the Kamui Space.

For Kakashi, Orochimaru naturally has plans.

As for Shisui's arrangement this time, Orochimaru also had the idea of ​​​​nurturing him to a large extent.

Arrange for Shisui to serve as the deputy commander on the Sunagakure Front, just like Sarutobi Hiruzen arranged for himself to be the deputy commander on the Rain Country battlefield during the Second Ninja War.

In fact, not only Shisui, but also Kakashi will be like this after he recovers from his injury.

In addition, Orochimaru like Asuma and Uchiha Itachi will also arrange for them to become deputy commanders.

Of course, Orochimaru's current favorite is Kakashi, followed by Shisui.

After he completed the unification and reform of the entire ninja world, he did not intend to continue to be Hokage.

He has already lived an extremely long life. Perhaps many years later, the things he did as Hokage will be just a page that he will occasionally think of in his long life.

What he really hopes is that after taking control of the entire ninja world, he can use the resources, talents, etc. of the entire ninja world to help him explore the truth.

Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui are both good enough. They are very talented in all aspects. In addition to being ninjas, they are also talented in other aspects. They do have the ability to shoulder the burden.

As the son of the Third Hokage, Asuma inherited part of the political legacy left by the Third Hokage, but he was still lagging behind in terms of personal strength.

More importantly, Asuma will become the new leader of the Sarutobi clan after the death of the third generation.

Given a choice, even if Asuma's strength improves to another level, Orochimaru will not choose to let him become the next Hokage.

If the head of a clan becomes Hokage, can he really be truly fair and just?

There was no one more suitable for Konoha than Hiruzen Sarutobi back then. In addition, because of his size and ability, he was enough to be a lord of defense, so Senju Tobirama chose him to be the Hokage.

Orochimaru has been the Hokage for so many years, and he can estimate the wealth of the Sarutobi clan.

In the original time and space, the Sarutobi clan could produce three thousand ninja troops, but now because Hiruzen Sarutobi has been the Hokage for more than ten years, he can still produce a thousand to several hundred.

However, big clans like Uchiha and Hinata only have a few hundred ninjas, and among them, there are only more than a hundred elites of the Uchiha clan.

Just because your last name is Uchiha, it doesn't mean you can really open your eyes.

The same goes for Itachi and Asuma, who is also the next leader of the Uchiha clan.

Kakashi may have a slight advantage over Shisui in this regard, because the Hatake clan is only a small clan. Although their ancestors also produced strong men during the Warring States Period, the reputation of this clan is basically that of Hatake Sakumo and now The Kakashi two fought it out.

As for Itachi and Asuma, after so many years of training, they may not actually have the ability to become the shadow of a village.

but……

After unifying the ninja world, will Konoha still be just an organization representing the military power of the Fire Nation?

Maybe there are some problems with those big names, but these matters can actually be handled by Mitarai Shixiao and Hatake Sakumo, his two right-hand men on the dark side.

Over the years, I have made a lot of moves, and the daimyos and nobles of the Fire Country are not without their opinions. However, for these people, the archives left by Danzo back then contain very good ways to control them.

Orochimaru even went too far.

In the past, Danzo might have followed the thousands of years of tradition between ninjas and nobles because of Hiruzen Sarutobi, but Orochimaru would not.

Itachi and Asuma will indeed occupy an extremely important position in this new world in the future, but Orochimaru believes that they do not have the ability to sustain such a big situation.

Asuma and Kakashi both seem to be quite balanced, but in fact Asma has some shortcomings in terms of strength and political management. Itachi's character seems calm and rational, but in fact he has an extreme personality.

Orochimaru will send Shisui, Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi to different battlefields respectively, because they have either mastered the time and space ninjutsu or have the Mangekyō Sharingan, which is enough to arouse Obito's fear.

As for the other owners of the Mangekyō Sharingan and Space-Time Ninjutsu, Mitarai Zixiao's own strength is still slightly inferior, not to mention that he is still waiting for his overhaul, and Uchiha Fugaku is even blind with a Mangekyō Sharingan. , and Uchiha Sasuke has just opened his eyes, and his own foundation has not yet caught up.

Except Namikaze Minato.

Minato's strength is almost only inferior to Nagato and himself in the entire ninja world. He is also a strong man with extremely high attainments in time and space ninjutsu. He has been a high-level person for many years and has great prestige. He will definitely be one of them. of the commander-in-chief.

In this way, all four fronts will have the ability to face Uchiha Obito.Otherwise, relying on the divine power space, this guy is not weak. If he really wants to do something, it will still be very troublesome.

After several days of preparation, Jiraiya and Uchiha Shisui left with a group of Konoha's elite ninjas.

What awaits them will be an endless desert, where they will be the first to blow a bloody wind.

……

……

"Damn! Nisan, why don't you think my father agrees to let me go to the battlefield in Sunagakure Village? I have also opened the same eyes as you. I can also go to the battlefield to kill enemies like Shisui, and I can also strengthen Uchiha. The reputation of the clan!”

Now Zuosuke is a little swollen. Ever since he opened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he thinks that he has caught up with his brother and looks forward to relying on his own strength to establish his reputation in the ninja world earlier than Naruto.

And Naruto is currently following Minato to learn the new Sage Mode.

Itachi smiled lovingly and patted Zuosuke's head.

If possible, he would rather have a day when Sasuke didn't activate the Mangekyo Sharingan.

But no matter if it is opened now, the huge windmill in the ninja world has been blown, and the peace of the past ten years will no longer be the same. Now that Zuosuke has these eyes, in Itachi's opinion, he has at least the the ability to protect oneself.

Before, he might have been worried that excessive use of the Mangekyo Sharingan would cause vision loss or even blindness, but thinking about the conversation with his father last night...
