When everything was settled, there was a hint of regret in Sarutobi's eyes, and then he powerlessly fell to the ground.
In the end, he was still old, and he did not expect that Orochimaru would actually hold back. When he used his shadow clone to use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to seal the 1st and 2nd Hokage, Orochimaru secretly summoned the third coffin.
The Edo Tensei gave birth to a Minato, and used the spiritualisation technique to stop his final Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
Of course, the price for doing so was that even Minato's broken soul was sealed in death's body.
After using Dead Demon Consuming Seal three times in a row, Sarutobi still could not make up for his regret and took Orochimaru's soul.
But in fact, Orochimaru was also shocked and broke out in cold sweat. He was just a little bit away from being dragged into the water by this old man who was about to die.
But in the end, he still laughed.
Just after Orochimaru lost his composure and laughed, he finally noticed the situation on the outside, which made his eyelids jump.
A group of Konoha Ninjas were staring at him with incomparable anger, ready to break the barrier at any time and rush in to tear him apart!
This scene made him secretly curse in his heart that Sunagakure was a waste, unable to support the battle!
With so many elites and Tailed-beasts attacking together, he couldn't even buy this little bit of time. If he wasn't trash, then what?
Orochimaru suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have killed Rasa so early, but who would have thought that he would suddenly appear and steal Rasa's corpse?
If not for that guy, he could still use Edo Tensei to change the situation.
But it was too late to say anything now. His plan was only half successful, and he could no longer carry out the follow-up plan.
Therefore, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, and he immediately used the Summoning Spell. He was swallowed by a big snake, and then he escaped with the Summoning Spell.
In the end, the Four Black Fogs Formation still helped him buy some time. As for the remaining Sound Four, they were naturally abandoned.
As long as he was given time, he could cultivate as many of his subordinates as he wanted. There was nothing to be reluctant about.
Don't forget, snakes were cold-blooded animals!
In the end, when the Four Black Fogs Formation was broken, the four people who suffered the backlash still shouted 'for Orochimaru-sama' and fought to the death.
In the end, they were all killed by Kakashi and the others, not leaving any survivors.
However, this anger still could not be vented out, and it was still suppressed in everyone's hearts.
......
A few days later, the funeral of the 3rd Hokage, Sarutobi, was held.
The Ninja Army had already assembled, ready to charge into Sunagakure at any time, and make Sunagakure pay with their blood!
Although Orochimaru was the real murderer who had caused the death of Sarutobi, the accomplice was even more hateful!
However, before the war could start, Baki, who had brought Gaara out of Konoha, told the truth of the whole matter to the people of Sunagakure. Everything was Orochimaru's plot, and even Kazekage had been killed.
Kazekage sacrificed, Jinchuriki suffered a crushing defeat, and a large number of elite members died. In addition to Konoha's hatred, the people were killed.
Without a word, he withdrew his troops and sent people to negotiate, trying to seek forgiveness from Konoha as a victim.
Because the dragons had no leader, and there were different opinions, there was no conclusion to the war.
It was not until the great name of the Land of Fire intervened that the peace agreement was re-signed, and Sunagakure paid a huge compensation for adding insult to injury, temporarily extinguishing the flames of the war.
After going through this incident, Sunagakurehad lost both its fortune and its army, and in the short term it would surely fall into a state of devastation, and it could be called the most miserable party.
But to our surprise, the ones who asked the Daimyo to come out this time were the long forgotten Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane!
Presumably, after the death of Sarutobi, the two of them were unwilling to be lonely and were ready to leave the mountain again.
Moreover, it was unknown what kind of bewitching potion these two old people had given to their names, and they even gave the letter of appointment.
Let them re-enter the core of Konoha, and as elders, help Konoha to select new Hokage as soon as possible to wipe out the current turmoil.
And then, Jiraya who heard the news of his teacher's death came back.
...
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
This month could be said to be exceptionally lively in the world of ninjas.
First, the joint examination of Konoha and Suna attracted the attention of more than half of the world, and then several big things happened that no one expected!
Konoha betrayed them, Orochimaru, and Hidden in the examination, launched the collapse plan of Konoha.
The 4th Kazekage was assassinated by Orochimaru!
The 3rd died!
Shukaku was defeated by one of the former Stars of Konoha's Four Shinomiya Aoba, and at the same time, there was also a golden sentence that made people 'hot blood boil', "I want to fight a Tailed-beast, put away your damn Wood Release!"
It could be said that the person who was most familiar with the Aoba was Kirigakure who had repeatedly suffered a big loss, and the name of Aoba had always been on Kirigakure's must-kill list, and it was ranked very high.
However, even Komugakure and the others did not expect that the kid had actually grown to such a height in a few years, and was actually able to 'completely defeat' a Shukaku!
This achievement was enough to make the whole world pay attention to it.
If it was said that the most famous person in this incident was the one who killed Kazekage and the Hokage, and the one who managed to escape unscathed was Orochimaru.
After that, there was the name Aoba.
Defeating the Tailed-beast was something that even Konoha's White Fang, who used to make people tremble in fear, could not do.
Some people had already begun to treat Aoba as the next Yellow Flash.
No matter how difficult the test was, there would always be people who would come forward.
In the end, Konoha and Suna were able to fight, and it was estimated that some people were very disappointed.
After a month of hibernation, Aoba finally began to move.
He was not worried about the Uchiha, after all, he had to help him.
If they wanted to go that way, he had to communicate well.
Only by holding all the chips that could be thrown on the stage in his hands could he make people ignore his age and take the position of Hokage.
And don't forget, Jiraya's sudden return gave him a lot of pressure.
Whether or not Jiraya was willing to be the Hokage, Jiraya's qualifications, reputation, connections, etc. were all there, which could not be ignored.
Not to mention that the two old helpers who suddenly jumped out to stir up trouble had begun to meet with Jiraya frequently.
Presumably, they were betting on Jiraya who was most likely to become the 5th Hokage.
He wanted to use merit to consolidate his position and power.
Aoba had to admit that he had underestimated these two old bastards. If he had known this earlier, he should have cut the weeds and cut the roots, directly picking them up and sending them to the afterlife.
