People in the ninja world, interpreting the coming of the myth

"...Anyway, that's what happened."

Jiraiya said after reporting his incident in the Demon Country.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rarely smoked his cigarette but pinched his eyebrows in distress and said helplessly: "Gods and monsters, this ninja world is becoming more and more troubled."

Orochimaru licked his lips and asked, "You should bring back a lot of the flesh and blood of those monster corpses, right?"

Jiraiya took out a few space scrolls and handed them to Orochimaru: "Of course, it's not just me. The ninjas in the other four ninja villages have collected a lot. These should be enough for you and Tsunade to study for a while. .”

I don't know the secrets of these monster corpses, so I'd rather leave it to professionals like Orochimaru and Tsunade.

After getting the space scroll with the monster's body sealed, Orochimaru said with a satisfied look on his face: "You are quite smart this time."

Seeing that Orochimaru was persecuting him again, Jiraiya was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "What do you mean I am smart for once? Uncle Jiraiya has always been extremely smart, how can he be as bad as you say!"

Orochimaru stared at Jiraiya with a sneer on his face: "Haha... I wonder who did those stupid stupid things back then and asked Tsunade and I to wipe someone's butt."

Jiraiya stiffened his neck and defended, but his tone became more modest: "Those are all old things, why bring them out? People can grow too, right?"

Looking at the chattering Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly and said, "Although I don't object to you using this kind of quarrel to cultivate relationships, please be quiet now."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a straight face, Jiraiya asked subconsciously: "Old man, what happened again?"

Hearing the word 'again' from Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was originally not in a good mood, suddenly felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. He sighed and said: "Although I am very relieved that you can finally understand my mind. , but can't you stop interrupting me at this time? Sigh - this year has been such an eventful year."

What a good disciple, but it’s a pity that he has a mouth.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want to talk about it anymore, you should just see it for yourselves."

After handing the information scroll on the desk to the two of them, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who couldn't resist his craving for cigarettes, picked up the cigarette rod and inhaled deeply. He puffed lightly, and his depressed mood instantly relaxed a lot. .

The information is written with dense ninja secret words. Only the prescribed decryption manual can be used to decipher the information content. Most people cannot understand what is written on it. Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who are Konoha ninjas, can naturally understand it. These were also shocked by the above content.

All in all, even the great names of the Fire Country have become ghosts, and even most of the aging noble ministers in the Fire Country capital have become ghosts. Currently, many villages near the capital have suddenly become deserted. As expected, the ghost village must have been captured and used as blood food for the demonized daimyo and nobles.

Moreover, the Konoha ninjas hiding in the capital of the Land of Fire have also lost contact one after another. This scroll was passed by the last surviving Konoha ninja, and no information came later. It must have been poisoned by the ghost.

After reading the contents of the information scroll, Jiraiya's face was livid and his tone was a little heavy: "In order to live forever, have even the daimyo been bewitched and corrupted?"

You must know that the daimyo is the head of a country, but he turned into a cannibal in order to survive. If this confidential information is exposed, not to mention the Fire Nation, even the entire ninja world will be greatly turbulent.

Not to mention whether the Fire Nation will split and oppose Konoha, the demonization precedent set by the Fire Nation daimyo will definitely make the high-ranking nobles of the country who have reached a certain age in the ninja world flock to it and long for immortality. Once those high-ranking nobles who manage the country become Becoming a ghost would cause unimaginable disaster to the entire ninja world.

Orochimaru said in a calm tone: "It is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death. What's more, our daimyo is already 80 or [-] years old, and it is only a few years before he is buried. Naturally, he will want to use other means. Ways to delay your own life.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen said righteously: "We can't delay it any longer. We must find and kill that Kibutsuji Muzan by every possible means. As long as he lives for one day, the Fire Country and even the entire ninja world will fall into a huge crisis." turmoil!"

Jiraiya asked: "What about the daimyo and those nobles who turned into ghosts?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen replied helplessly: "This is the misfortune and stain of the Fire Country. They cannot be known to the outside world and deal with them secretly. If His Highness the Prince had not turned into a ghost, he would have been supported as a daimyo after this incident. Really If that doesn’t work, choose one from the daimyo’s bloodline to become a daimyo.”

The murderous intention revealed in the words of this seemingly kind and kind old man could not be concealed.

Even Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who were used to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but be moved by Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision.

Originally, the two of them thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen would care about the identity of the daimyo and those noble ministers, and chose to be imprisoned in a secret prison to spend the rest of his sinful life as a ghost. Unexpectedly, they did not expect that their master, who seemed to be a good old man, To be so courageous and cruel to make such a decision.

Especially Orochimaru, it was as if he was meeting his teacher for the first time. In his previous impression, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a conservative old man who could only stick to the past and didn't understand changes and innovations, but his current behavior was refreshing. Orochimaru's impression of him.

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi who was puffing away smoke, Orochimaru grinned and said: "As expected of Teacher Hiruzen, but have you ever thought that after making such a decision, the aristocracy of the Fire Country will definitely become hostile to Konoha? What about rejection?"

The nobles are a special group of people who are extremely arrogant and defiant. They look down on the ninjas who make a living by hiring them. They will feel extremely disgusted and hateful to those ninjas who kill the nobles for whatever reason, and they will even spend a lot of money to put a bounty on their heads.

Generally speaking, no ninja would be stupid enough to provoke or kill nobles, because they are the privileged class who control most of the wealth, and they can also be regarded as the food and clothing parents of ninjas.

Once such behavior is discovered, not only will the nobles put a bounty on them, but they will also be regarded as heretics and mortal enemies by fellow ninjas, because this behavior will damage the credibility of the ninja group. Once the nobles lose their trust in ninjas, It is equivalent to the ninja group almost falling into a crisis of collective unemployment.
