Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down

"Orochimaru...!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the mansion in front of him and had forgotten how long he hadn't been here.

He was devoted to his disciple and was his favorite among the three disciples.

Who made the other person "like" him the most?

Tsunade was from the Senju clan and had a family heritage. Although Jiraiya had a strong character, his ninjutsu talent was not very good.

Only Orochimaru inherited all his ninjutsu completely.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party didn't have the "will of fire", then the other party would be the best Hokage.

But why did things become like this...? .

"Hokage-sama?"

An Anbu reminded carefully.

They had been standing here for a while. If they continued to drag it on, they didn't know what accidents would happen.

Hearing the reminder, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was immersed in the past, took the lead to enter the mansion.

After the few people behind him looked at each other, they also stepped forward to follow.

In any case, they also wanted to know whether the disappearance of the villagers was related to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is the pillar of the village. They admire him for his strength and means. Once he is related to this matter, the consequences will be too serious.

Only Danzo and Sarutobi Shinnosuke accidentally touched each other's eyes, and then quickly separated.

Is there a problem? .

Hyuga Cangyue has a very sharp observation ability, so she naturally discovered this, but before she could observe more, her shoulder was gently patted by Dohei, indicating that she should look less.

So that's it!

After getting this hint, she instantly figured out that today's incident must be related to the two of them.

The reason is not difficult to guess.

Hokage!

This position is definitely a dream for these two people, and now the most popular candidate is Orochimaru, so it is natural to join forces to solve the other party.

Although Hyuga Cangyue doesn't look very smart.

But in fact, she is very sharp, otherwise, it would be impossible for her to disguise herself since childhood and survive successfully.

That was the time she met a group of 'unfair' brats in the woods. Otherwise, she would definitely become a terrifying existence like an ungrateful wolf and a filial son.

After figuring this out, Hinata Cangyue naturally would not remind others, but instead hoped that the two would make bigger moves.

Fight, fight!

Watching the excitement is not a big deal, that's her mentality at this moment.

And what she absolutely could not have imagined was that this matter would definitely be bigger than she expected.

Until now, even if they saw Sarutobi Hiruzen put on combat equipment, everyone just thought that this was just the Third Hokage's way of showing his attention to the missing, not really preparing to fight Orochimaru.

After all, even if he was the one who caused the villagers to disappear, with his status and position, he would at most be imprisoned for a period of time, and it would be absolutely impossible to really kill him.

Trample, trample!

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked in the front, and the Anbu were also very restrained, without any intention of crossing the line.

At other times, they would naturally show off.

But when the target is Orochimaru, the third Hokage's favorite disciple, if they act too eagerly, who knows if they will be kicked out after the incident because of the reason of "entering the Anbu with the left foot first".

Even if the third Hokage will not do this, there are bad people among the crowd, and there should not be too many people who want to please the Hokage.

Along the way.

There are no traps or mechanisms, and even the door is not closed, allowing them to pass through unimpeded.

Soon, when they entered the basement, they stopped.

"Orochimaru!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted.

Pain!

It hurts so much!

His voice contained anger and disappointment.

Because here, villagers are imprisoned one by one, and even Konoha ninjas.

Ironclad evidence!

These people are the best evidence.

In other words, the disappearance of villagers during this period was all done by Orochimaru.

"Hokage-sama!"

"Clan leader, save me, Orochimaru is crazy!"

"Great, we are saved!"

…

The people imprisoned in this basement cell all cried with joy after seeing them.

Because they knew what happened to those who were taken for experiments.

All died!

So they were naturally very excited after seeing them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very angry at this time.

Because Orochimaru dared to attack the villagers, which completely failed his expectations.

"Hokage-sama, there is a secret passage here!"

An Anbu suddenly spoke, waking Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Yes, now is not the time to be angry, but to capture the other party.

Whoosh!

Sarutobi Hiruzen rushed into the opened secret passage.

Seeing this, several Anbu ninjas quickly followed.

Even if they didn't think anything would happen, it was their duty to protect the Hokage, so they naturally couldn't slack off.

As for the clan leaders, they naturally stayed in this basement and didn't follow.

Anyway, the truth of the matter has been known, and they don't want to watch the "love and hate" between the master and the apprentice. Otherwise, when Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks of his own apprentice, he will think of them and it will be troublesome.

Even the remaining three members of F4 will leave the next time for the two masters and apprentices to be alone.

It can only be said that everyone is smart.

However, if they don't follow, it doesn't mean that no one dares to follow.

Whoosh!

Dohei quickly rushed into the passage and left a sentence.

"I will protect the Hokage!"

This excuse is simply perfect. In this case, no one can say that he is wrong to follow.

As for Hinata Cangyue, who was following like a little transparent person, no one cared at all.

Tang Ping moved forward quickly along this several-meter-high pipe.

Slippery and cold!

It doesn't feel like a passage prepared for humans at all, but like a passage prepared for snakes.

It can only be said that Orochimaru may have become a bit "inappropriate" now.

All aspects of habits have moved closer to snakes.

The passage is extremely long!

About a kilometer away, we should be under the Death Forest.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already rushed to the end of the passage and saw the lights of the laboratory ahead.

In the laboratory located deep underground, only the lights on the operating table are bright, while the rest of the place is dark and deep, making people feel intimidated.

Only Orochimaru likes this kind of experimental environment.

On the operating table.

A corpse was being dissected by Orochimaru. He was staring at the corpse in front of him feverishly, as if it was not a corpse, but something pleasant.

"Orochimaru, how dare you use people from the village for experiments!"

Looking at the corpse of the Konoha ninja on the experimental table, Sarutobi Hiruzen's blood pressure instantly rose.

Orochimaru was conducting human experiments, but he was not unaware of it.

Even in the ninja world, this is something that is forbidden to everyone, but everyone explicitly prohibits it, but privately they don't know how much fun it is.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen at best reprimanded him on the surface, but in fact he never punished Orochimaru for this.

But what he didn't expect at all was that the other party would actually use people from the same village for experiments.

This broke his bottom line.

"Sarutobi-sensei, isn't this what you want to see?"

Orochimaru put down the scalpel in his hand and took off his gloves, turned around and answered calmly.

Let yourself join the roots is what he means.

It is impossible for the other party to not know the underlying style. In other words, the reason why I am what I am today is entirely due to my teacher.

“…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were complicated.

Because he knew that it was indeed his fault.

Even though he knew how dark the roots were, he still asked his disciples to join the roots. The other party's mistake at this time was entirely his own fault.

He bit his index finger.

"Psychic art!"

He directly summoned his psychic beast.

The monkey demon king is a powerful fighting force. With the cooperation of the two, Orochimaru is no match for them at this stage.

"Sarutobi, what are you..."

After the ape demon appeared, he glanced around but found no enemy.

"Ape Demon, I want to clean up the door!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered in pain.

"Hmph, I have long said that Orochimaru's heart is too dark, and it is your fault that he has ended up like this!"

The monkey demon has amazing wisdom and has long seen the danger of Orochimaru, and also advised the Third Hokage, but the latter ignored its persuasion because he liked this disciple too much. Today's situation is completely self-inflicted.

"I know, so now I have to redeem myself from my mistake!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen held the rod-shaped psychic beast in his hand and prepared for battle.
