The body of this strange woman on the ground.
It turned out to be Sasori’s accomplice, Orochimaru, who once flourished in Konoha.
“No, this can’t be Orochimaru, he doesn’t look like this at all!” Hyuga Hiashi recovered from the shock and immediately questioned.
In this regard.
Shisui’s explanation is:
“Orochimaru used forbidden jutsu to seize other people’s bodies, so his gender and appearance changed. But when I fought with him, I judged his identity from the ninjutsu he used.”
He also told the location where he fought with the Akatsuki duo, where there were a lot of traces of ninjutsu, as well as the corpses of swarms of poisonous snakes channeled by Orochimaru.
Upon hearing this, the Sandaime immediately sent several Anbu to the location mentioned by Shisui to confirm.
Next.
He even quickly came to Orochimaru’s body and knelt down to inspect it himself.
The Sandaime had long known that Orochimaru longed for immortality and had been secretly studying the forbidden art of reincarnation.
During the process of careful confirmation, his brows sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed, making everyone onlookers feel very nervous.
Until the end, the Sandaime took a deep breath, nodded and said:
“That’s right, it’s Orochimaru’s chakra aura.”
He couldn’t be more familiar with this once-favorite disciple.
Hearing that Lord Hokage personally admitted Shisui’s statement, the crowd fell into an uproar again.
It’s really Orochimaru!
Orochimaru, Konoha’s S-class rebellious ninja, was killed by Uchiha.
This big news spread quickly, and it is estimated that by tomorrow morning at the latest, the entire 200,000 villagers in Konoha will be shocked.
At this time.
Shisui walked quickly to Dan and discussed with the latter in a low voice. Dan nodded, seeming to agree to something.
So.
Shisui continued to reveal a big revelation to the Sandaime:
“Lord Hokage, according to the information we have received, Orochimaru and Sasori have joined an organization called Akatsuki. Their purpose is to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki and use the Nine-Tails to destroy Konoha! This is not their first time, and this will not be the last!”
As soon as the Sandaime heard this, he judged that the information provided by Shisui was credible.
Because not long ago, someone had the idea of coveting Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. Fortunately, Kakashi discovered it in time.
Now it seems that the two groups of people before and after are probably sent by Akatsuki.
Did Orochimaru join this kind of organization in order to take revenge on Konoha?
Thinking of this.
The Sandaime sighed again and slowly stood up.
He looked at Shisui with pleasure and praised the latter without hesitation:
“Shisui, thanks to you this time, we successfully stopped the enemy’s conspiracy.”
Sure enough.
Uchiha Shisui will never let him down. Shisui did what neither Anbu nor the police could do.
He is worthy of being a descendant of Kagami.
When Shisui heard the Sandaime’s praise, he quickly shook his head and said: “Hokage-sama, Dan defeated Sasori and Orochimaru, I was just helping from the side.”
He gave all the credit to Dan, hoping to take this opportunity to improve the Sandaime’s impression of Dan.
The Sandaime actually guessed it.
With Shisui’s strength alone, how could he possibly defeat the Akatsuki duo?
He could only rely on Shisui’s words to force out a smile and boast:
“Dan, you have done a good job in protecting the village this time, and I will definitely reward you heavily.”
Dan chuckled and responded very humbly:
“No, I’m just helping Hokage-sama clean up the house. A scum like Orochimaru betrayed the will of fire, which is a smear on Hokage-sama’s face.”
When the Sandaime heard this, his smile suddenly solidified.
This statement was clearly a sarcastic reference to his unfavorable teachings.
Orochimaru not only became a rebel ninja, but also wanted to destroy Konoha. As Orochimaru’s teacher, doesn’t the Sandaime have any responsibility?
He saw many people starting to whisper and discuss why Orochimaru betrayed the Will of Fire.
The Sandaime coughed twice in embarrassment, changed the subject on the spot, and asked Hyuuga Hizashi on the side:
“Hizashi, look at Shisui’s matter…”
Under the gaze of the Sandaime, Hizashi could only grit his teeth and said with a gloomy expression: “Hokage-sama, this is a misunderstanding.”
The police department is embarrassed enough.
It would be even more shameless to take Shisui to jail under such circumstances. I’m afraid the Sandaime wouldn’t disagree either.
“Misunderstanding?”
When Dan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked Hizashi, “What about the incident where you led people to forcefully break into the Uchiha clan and injure people?”
The voice just finished.
“Ouch.”
Yashiro wailed in complete cooperation, fell to the ground and vomited blood, looking like he was about to die.
“Yashiro-sama!” Kenzo and others also burst out with their acting skills, crying and crying around Yashiro.
Hizashi couldn’t help but twitch his face, feeling more and more humiliated. He clenched his fists and dug his nails deeply into his flesh.
His expression changed, and finally he only managed to squeeze out one sentence:
“I will personally visit Yashiro Uchiha another day to apologize and do my best to make compensation.”
The Sandaime couldn’t stand it any longer. He could no longer humiliate Hyuga Hizashi like this. The latter was, after all, the head of the Hyuga clan and the captain of the police force.
So, the Hokage stood up to smooth things over and said to both parties:
“Since it’s a misunderstanding, let’s make it clear and leave early. It’s already so late.”
Then he gave instructions to the Anbu people:
“Send the puppet and Orochimaru’s body to the Intelligence Department and let them investigate and study overnight. I will see the report tomorrow morning.”
“Sir!”
But Dan spoke again and blocked the Anbu.
“Dan, is there anything else?” The Sandaime was confused, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough.
Dan say calmly:
“Forget about Sasori, I let him run away after all, leaving only a scrapped puppet. But if I remember correctly, Orochimaru is an S-class traitor ninja who is wanted by Konoha with a bounty. His body is here, and the bounty is gold……”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone present understood what he meant.
On the black market’s bounty list.
Generally speaking, the “worth” of the elite jounin of the five great ninja villages is generally in the range of 30 million to 50 million.
The Jinchuuriki and Kage levels start at 50,000,000 ryo, with no upper limit.
Orochimaru, although he is only a Jonin in name, his reputation and strength are not inferior to those of a Kage-level powerhouse. He was once one of the candidates for the Fourth Hokage.
and.
Orochimaru is also a scientist and has mastered so many secrets of Konoha Village that after his defection, not only Konoha but also the other four major ninja villages also took a keen interest in him.
Therefore, in the past few years, Orochimaru’s bounty has risen again and again, and now it has reached a terrifying level——
Eighty million Ryo.
Even within the Akatsuki organization, Sasori is not the only one who wants to kill Orochimaru and use him in exchange for the bounty.
Shisui looked stunned.
Orochimaru is not that easy to die. This was obviously said by Dan, but now Dan is using this “corpse” to blackmail the Sandaime.
The third generation also had a dark face.
Why did you bring up the bounty?
This guy Uchiha Dan is obviously a member of Konoha, so why can’t he selflessly contribute to the village and talk about the will of fire?
It took a lot of effort for him to develop a good impression of Dan, but it disappeared in an instant.
Facing the demands of Dan.
The Sandaime finally nodded and responded with a smile:
“As long as the intelligence department confirms that the deceased is Orochimaru, of course the reward will be issued. You don’t have to worry about this.”
“Well, I believe that Hokage-sama will not default on his debt.”
Dan nodded.
If the Sandaime dared to default on his debt, he would be really desperate. At worst, he would kill him and take the body to the money exchange to pay off his debt.
Hokage’s body is definitely worth more than Orochimaru.
The Sandaime didn’t know Dan’s whims.
He just glanced at Shisui again before leaving, and the message he conveyed was very obvious – let the latter go back to the Hokage Building to find him.
Everyone in the police department also followed the Sandaime and left in dejection.
Dan looked around, looking at the villagers watching the excitement, and said one word expressionlessly:
“Scram.”
The words just fell.
Everyone changed their colors one after another and dispersed in fright.
Dan turned to look at Shisui again and asked, “Do you plan to return to the Sandaime and continue to work for him?”
Shisui was shocked and quickly denied it, saying that now he just wanted to teach Tobi well and train Tobi into an excellent Uchiha ninja.
“That’s good.”
Dan smiled slightly, patted Shisui on the shoulder, and strode towards the clan’s territory.
Shisui looked at Dan’s back, feeling fear in his heart.
If he had hesitated just now, I’m afraid… his eyes would have been gouged out again.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Shisui also hurriedly followed Dan back to his clan with Yashiro and others.
After returning home, Dan learned that the operation was still being carried out carefully, and He was afraid that the results would not be available tonight.
Brother-in-law, he must be dead.
With this thought in his mind, Dan had no choice but to wait outside the operating room and wait patiently.
the next day.
The Sandaime came to the Hokage’s office early in the morning.
After he went back yesterday, he thought about it all night and finally made an important decision.
As a Hokage, you must master the art of controlling people.
The Sandaime could see that Uchiha Dan’s strength was close to that of Namikaze Minato. He was the kind of person who could single-handedly turn the tide and save the village at critical moments.
If this person can be used by him, it will be a great thing for Konoha.
Unfortunately, Dan does not recognize the will of fire and will only act for pure interests.
In this case, He can only be tied up by interests.
Thinking of this.
The Sandaime summoned Kakashi and asked the latter to go to the Uchiha tribe to deliver his order:
From now on, Uchiha Dan will be promoted to Jonin in an exceptional manner.
In addition, the 80 million ryo of bounty that Dan asked for was not only to be paid in full, but the Sandaime also decided to add another 20 million to make up a total of 100 million.
As a reward for Dan and Shisui defeating the Akatsuki duo this time.
One hundred million.
Even with Konoha’s wealth, if you want to take out this money, you will have to suffer pain for a while and bleed heavily.
The Sandaime still had to go to the Ministry of Finance in person to convince Koharu and Homura.
Kakashi was surprised to hear the Sandaime’s decision.
He hesitated for a moment and asked puzzledly:
“However, the people from the Intelligence Department investigated Orochimaru’s body last night, but found little. Maybe it was not Orochimaru’s body at all.”
“Just do as I say, Kakashi.”
The Sandaime showed a scheming smile and told Kakashi, “You have a better relationship with the Uchiha. You must fully convey the goodwill of the village to them, especially Dan.”
“I understand, Hokage-sama.”
Kakashi accepted the order and retreated.
The reason why the Sandaime did this is actually very simple.
If Orochimaru is not dead and comes back again, then Uchiha Dan must be responsible to the end.
The 100 million ryo are not free.
He wants to send a signal through this award, that is, he attaches great importance to Uchiha. Konoha needs Dan and needs the Uchiha clan.
In this troubled time.
As Hokage, you must let go of your prejudices and unite all the forces that can be united.
Having settled this matter, the Sandaime picked up another document on his desk and read it carefully.
It’s information about Akatsuki.
