No matter what the reason came from, the act of betraying one's own people was unforgivable.
Kirito coldly stared at the three people who were acting as insiders at this moment, Senju Yamate, Senju Layton, and Senju Shimizu, he had already memorized these three people, and in order to avoid these three insiders from doing even more damage in the future, he was planning to tell this to Mito right away.
It's not too late to mend the fold.
At the same time, the three people who were helping the root ninjas to destroy the sealing boundary, Senju Yamate, Senju Layton, and Senju Shimizu, suddenly felt a chill all over their bodies, and then looked at their surroundings in a guilty conscience, and realized that there was no movement at all, and then they saw that the perception-type ninjas who were responsible for letting out the wind shook their heads, and only then did they put their hearts down again.
As for what they themselves are doing now, the three of them know very well in their hearts, once this matter is discovered, the three of them will definitely be secretly executed, and will be expelled from the family tree, forever nailed to the pillar of shame of the Senju clan.
And their families would also be implicated.
But they had no regrets, they firmly believed that what they were doing now was all worth it, as long as they could guard the village, things like family, loved ones and honor could all be given up, they were the roots of Konoha, and guarding the village was all they had.
The one who inherits the will of Lord Tobirama, Lord Danzo, is worthy of their trust, is the one who deserves their allegiance.
"Do it quickly, I have a bad feeling about this."
Senjou Yamate whispered to the Root ninja beside him who was in charge of destroying the sealing boundary.
Ninja's intuition was often spot on, especially powerful ninja.
The Root ninja beside him sniffed and nodded, "I'll try my best, it's just that the method given by that Orochimaru fellow, although it's very good, the process is just too cumbersome, and it's the first time I've ever done this kind of thing, so I have to be careful ..."
"Orochimaru?"
Kirito, who was hiding in the shadows, frowned when he heard an unexpected name appear in their conversation.
No wonder these Root ninja had the ability to conceal the perception of the sealing jutsu laid out by Mito himself and destroy it, so it was with the help of Orochimaru, a sealing jutsu master who was well versed in sealing jutsu.
He is really a guy who cannot be underestimated.
I have to say, this guy is a ninjutsu genius, no wonder he was able to break such a powerful S-class soul sealing jutsu like the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
However, this matter actually involved Orochimaru, who was working in tandem with Danzo, so the seriousness of this matter was immediately raised several levels.
Orochimaru was Sandaime's favorite disciple.
Then the question comes.
Is Orochimaru's cooperation with Danzo on his own initiative, or is it secretly authorized by Sandaime?
To be honest, he felt strange when he accidentally met Orochimaru at the hospital the other day.
He had thought that it was related to the war over in the Rain Country coming to an end, but it turned out that it wasn't, and according to the information brought back from the battlefield by the Senju clan, although Konoha had gained the upper hand, it was still a long way from defeating the Rain Ninja completely.
Who had the ability to bring Orochimaru back from the battlefield of the Rain Country at this time?
The answer was self-evident.
"Sandaime, you mustn't make a mistake, I hope this matter has nothing to do with you."
Kirito left quietly with a heavy heart.
The severity level of this matter was too high for his small shoulders to carry, and only Mito could step in.
...
On the other hand, in the Hokage's office, Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen was still staying up late as usual to review documents.
Suddenly, Sandaime stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head to look at a certain shadow in the room, and spoke, "Is it Orochimaru?"
"Sarutobi-sensei, you're still as sharp as ever."
In the next moment, a raspy voice appeared as Orochimaru slowly stepped out of the shadows, revealing half of his face, still in darkness, and on the other half of his face, his golden eyes shone with an icy shimmer.
Seeing Orochimaru again, Sandaime frowned slightly.
Ever since Orochimaru had returned from the battlefield, he had become more and more unable to see through this favorite disciple of his.
The Orochimaru of the past was far from the cold-blooded and unfamiliar he felt now.
That icy look of indifference to life, however, was not unfamiliar to Sandaime at all, as was the look in the eyes of his good comrade, Danzo.
The war had ultimately left a deep mark on this disciple of his, causing his growth to deviate from what he had expected it to be.
"Orochimaru, don't you understand? One who disregards life cannot become Hokage."
Sandaime sighed in his heart, but did not take the initiative to remind him.
Geniuses were always conceited, and this disciple of his was even more so, and for him to lecture now would only be counterproductive.
There were some things that could only be understood by one's own experience.
Eliminate the feelings of master and disciple in his heart, and change back to the way hokage should be.
Sandaime's face straightened and questioned, "Orochimaru, what are you looking for me for at this late hour? I remember you are supposed to go back to the battlefield of the Rain Country tomorrow, why don't you get some rest tonight, and if you want to say goodbye, you can do it tomorrow as well."
The reason why Orochimaru came back was because he was seriously injured on the battlefield before, and Tsunade happened to have other tasks and couldn't leave, so he had to be urgently and secretly sent back to Konoha for treatment.
Now the injury has been recovered seven or eight, is to go back to the battlefield to play an important role.
Ever since Orochimaru left the battlefield in the Rain Country with serious injuries, the Rain Ninja had immediately shown signs of a counterattack, so it was clear how big a role Orochimaru had played in the battlefield in the Rain Country.
"I'm planning to return to the battlefield now, and came over to say hello to you on purpose."
Orochimaru said with a slight smile.
"I see, I know, I will help you conceal the fact that you left."
Sandaime smiled, immediately understood what Orochimaru meant and nodded.
Orochimaru to leave the village this matter really should be the less people know the better, so as to be able to hide from those hateful traitors in the village.
Just thinking about the traitors, Sandaime was not in a good mood.
In recent times, the situation on the battlefield on the side of the sand ninja is getting worse and worse, and many plans of action seem to be known by the sand ninja in advance, and there are either very few gains or failures.
Even if he doesn't want to admit it now, he has to admit that there is a traitor among his own high-level officials.
The matter of catching the traitor has been imminent.
Unfortunately, the traitors are too well hidden, and he can't make people panic because of catching the traitors, which will lead to a worse battle situation.
He was truly having a headache right now.
"Then I would like to thank you, sensei, I will take my leave first."
Seeing that Sandaime would agree, Orochimaru was ready to leave.
But just as he turned around, he added, "Sarutobi-sensei, you'd better not let this person, Danzo, go too far."
After saying this, he suddenly turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared.
"Danzo, what the hell are you up to again?"
Sandaime's heart warmed at Orochimaru's reminder, and his face was grave as he thought.
Regarding the matter of Orochimaru's private meeting with Danzo, he knew about it, but he wasn't going to ask directly, hoping that Orochimaru would take the initiative to speak up.
From what he had seen so far, this disciple of his was still toward him in his heart, which made him very pleased.
Now that Orochimaru had told him to be wary of Danzo, he thought that Danzo was doing something unseemly again without his knowledge.
Let's hope it wasn't anything too serious.
"Come on man."
A moment later, Sandaime immediately spoke.
The next moment, a dark ninja appeared in front of Sandaime on one knee.
"Go find out what Danzo has been doing lately."
Sandaime ordered.
"Ha."
The ANBU immediately said in a respectful voice, and then used his Body-Flicker Technique to leave.
