Feeling the reality, Sarutobi Hiruzen has become depressed.
Even his fighting intent has faded a lot.
He didn't know whether the choices he had made over the years were right or wrong... The close friends of several decades old and the younger generation's attitude today drive him to face reality.
'Maybe... I am really old….'
'Being too old has hindered the development of the younger generation….'
'Maybe... I was really wrong….'
'Wrong to have ruined Konoha's bright prospects….'
He was full of entanglement and discomfort, and when he looked up towards Orochimaru again, there was only a faint sentence: "Then why don't you do it? What are you waiting for?"
After thinking a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen is already determined to die.
Death, for him now, is the best place to belong.
As soon as he dies, his fault will disappear, and no one will mention it again.
As long as he died today, and died in the hands of the rebel, Orochimaru, just like the previous generations of Hokage, is also a good Hokage who sacrificed to save Konoha!
No one will blame him again!
He can retain his reputation!
But while he was planning to give up struggling, Orochimaru was full of smiles at him: "Old fogey, I also want to do this for you, but unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. The hidden trouble you left for Konoha is too much, and you can't die in my hands yet."
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's dismal appearance today, Orochimaru is filled with satisfaction. Sarutobi Hiruzen's current performance is enough to prove that Orochimaru's approach was right! His ideas can really make Konoha stronger!
The people in Konoha will no longer be affected by the war!
The fault is that he underestimated the minds of the old fellows of Konoha!
Hearing the words of Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen's original expression of depression once again became dignified: "What do you mean?"
Orochimaru grinned, and he did not answer his intention. His right hand lifted suddenly, and The four people glanced at each other, understanding. Four Violet Flames Formation was revoked, following Orochimaru's pace and leaving Konoha.
When the Anbu ninjas saw it, the first thought was that they wanted to catch up, but Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a decisive stop: "Don't chase! Let's go and see what happened in other places!"
Orochimaru's sudden exit... It really disrupted all the rhythms of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He was all ready to meet death, but he did not die.
Things become much more complicated. If he can't die to 'sacrifice for Konoha', he can't get the best result. This is undoubtedly bad news for him. But for a while, he didn't understand what to do.
The chase is impossible. Orochimaru still has two Puppets, First-Kage and Second-Kage, in his hands. Sending people to pursue them will only increase the casualties. There are also a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the village, not allowing him to be distracted.
Moreover, the "hidden danger" that Orochimaru said in his mouth made him particularly concerned!
After thinking for a long time, he can't think of why.
A ninja from the Medic Team helped Sarutobi Hiruzen to go back to the Hokage room to rest, and this is exactly what Li Yaoxiang wanted!
Although Li Yaoxiang has not been able to confirm Orochimaru's and Sarutobi Hiruzen's ideas 100% to date, they have not personally admitted Li Yaoxiang's guess.
This is a bit regretful.
Unable to satisfy deep in one's heart
But now, this situation is undoubtedly the most advantageous ending for Li Yaoxiang! The reason why he appeared in Orochimaru's mind at this moment was to control Orochimaru's thoughts to guide this situation!
People will always be selfish, and Li Yaoxiang is no exception.
It would be a pity that Sarutobi Hiruzen died in Orochimaru's hands.
With Sarutobi Hiruzen, Li Yaoxiang may also bring divine assistance several times.
And more importantly, this guy led Naruto to have a tragic childhood and needed to bear major responsibilities. Li Yaoxiang didn't want him to suffer that cheap, letting him die with the name of "hero".
As for the result...
What kind of new Sarutobi Hiruzen will be born in the end… Li Yaoxiang doesn't think much about it.
Anyway, no matter which new paths Sarutobi Hiruzen chooses, he will have the confidence to deal with it. With the departure of Orochimaru, this so-called 'Konoha Crush Plan' was also officially terminated.
It is exactly similar to the original work.
Since Orochimaru appeared as Kazekage, Konoha started investigating the real Kazekage for Suna Village, where he went. After learning that Kazekage had died in Orochimaru's hands, the Sunas, of course, took the opportunity to shirk all guilt on Orochimaru.
Two Great Ninja Villages also solved the "misunderstanding" and continued to be good allies to each other.
And under Naruto Uzumaki's repeated insistence, Konoha also promised Suna Village to give them a certain discount on resources in the future.
Ever since then, the two big Ninja villages are also very happy.
The next step is to deal with the aftermath... What happened had made the Daimyos not in the mood to stay in Konoha, all impatiently wanting to leave this dangerous place.
Chunin Exams had to be terminated as a result.
......
After everything was done, Konoha returned to calm again, almost a week later.
This week, it can be said that everyone up and down Konoha has a very complicated mood.
The original damned person did not die.
This is awkward.
Of course, everyone will not be naive to think that this living Third-Hokage will not know what they were thinking carefully in that war. But how should they explain it?
Does Jiraiya say that the giant snake summoned by Orochimaru is too strong, so he is unable to rescue?
Do the three old close friends say that Suna Ninjas and the Oto Ninjas are too strong and need to use thousands of ninjas in the village to deal with them?
Speaking of this, don't you laugh at the dead?
There is no way to solve it, and everyone can only assume that this has never happened.
What to do? Pretending to be crazy and stupid?
Anyway, Sarutobi Hiruzen could not do it even if he wanted to settle accounts after Autumn. After all, the entire village abandoned him.
Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not be so stupid to point out this matter. Even if it were pointed out, it would not help the matter, which would only make him more embarrassed. So the two sides are very tacit understanding and did not mention the "rescue" thing.
And the time has come to this day. The ugly woman finally needs to see the family man.
Escape is also impossible to escape for a lifetime.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the group of people who abandoned him always need to face the opposite day. Sarutobi Hiruzen has no intention of avoiding it. He summoned all the core staff of Konoha. He came to the Conference Hall, intending to discuss the follow-up matters after the whole thing...
