“Danzo?”
Thinking of this, Liang Yue's mind suddenly popped up with the figure of this famous Root of Konoha, but then he silently shook his head, unhesitatingly denying his previous thought.
“Generally speaking, although Danzo's methods are not very glorious, and he likes to take unorthodox paths, his loyalty to Konoha is beyond doubt.
Regarding this point, it can be seen from the seal he used on half of the bridge when he died in the original plot… Moreover, Danzo had already been in contact with Orochimaru privately before Orochimaru returned to Konoha.
It is said that Orochimaru was able to return to Konoha smoothly later because Danzo put in a lot of effort in the middle.
Now ~ it shouldn't be to the point of holding back on such a major matter.”
“In that case…”
Thinking of this, Liang Yue couldn't help but touch his chin, and turned to think in another direction.
Kotoamatsukami is a top-level genjutsu, and can be called the pinnacle of the genjutsu field in the current Naruto world ~
It can silently change a person's will without being noticed.
The scope of application and the level of influence are not yet clear.
Anyway, the person who is subjected to the technique has never escaped the influence of this eye technique!
Now that Uchiha Shisui is no longer in the world, one of his Mangekyo Sharingan eyes that can cast Kotoamatsukami is in Danzo's hands, and the other is hidden by Itachi.
According to the development of the original plot, after Itachi's death, this Sharingan eye was hidden in Naruto's stomach by him, using a crow as a carrier.
But now, because of Liang Yue's involuntary intervention, Itachi does not seem to have died as in the original plot ~
Not only is he not dead, but at this time, under the guidance of someone, Itachi, as a super genius, may have successfully advanced to the innate realm to a great extent…
In this case, the other party has more choices ~
Thinking of this, Liang Yue couldn't help but close his eyes, secretly activating his Byakugan, and then looked out the window.
As a crucial character like the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto's residence is actually not far from the Hokage office building, the straight-line distance is about two or three hundred meters.
And this distance is naturally not a problem for Liang Yue now.
In just a few seconds, his line of sight had already passed through many obstacles and landed on the little blondie who was sleeping soundly on the bed in a sprawling posture.
Then, Liang Yue retracted his gaze…
“Sure enough, apart from the Nine-Tails seal, there is nothing unusual in his body. It seems that Itachi is planning to take care of his younger brother himself this time…”
“So, is it Itachi who made the move?”
“This is a bit troublesome.”
“But with Itachi's pure and persistent Will of Fire, it doesn't seem likely that he would betray… Could it be that I guessed wrong?”
“Could it be that Orochimaru was not defeated by Kotoamatsukami?”
“Then who made the move ~”
… …
Just as Liang Yue was sitting beside him, frowning and thinking wildly, the other old guys and the Fifth Hokage and others on the other side seemed to have completed their discussion and regained their dignified posture.
However, compared to usual, their faces were mostly hidden with a bit of solemnity.
Obviously, a complete pair of Rinnegan, plus the eight tailed beasts except for the Nine-Tails, are now all integrated into the hands of Obito, such a troublesome character, which has already made them feel the crisis of the ninja world situation.
Now that Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, who has also learned Sage Mode, is also trapped and captured by the other party, it further illustrates the strength of the enemy this time.
All these situations are showing one problem, the war is coming ~
“Chunqiu, what do you think of this matter?”
Jiraiya on the side didn't seem to want Liang Yue to be idle at this time. He had just sat down for a short time before he looked at him.
“I think Orochimaru being captured is a major event and needs to be handled with caution.”
Liang Yue also sat upright there, speaking steadily…
Compared to the others present, this guy should undoubtedly be the one who cares about Orochimaru the most. When others consider the problem, they are more concerned about the face, interests, and high-level reserves of Konoha.
On Jiraiya's side, he values their former classmate friendship more.
From this point of view, he and Naruto are really a match made in heaven ~
“I remember that Orochimaru once used a ninjutsu called Impure World Reincarnation when fighting against the Third Hokage, which can summon the souls of the First and Second Hokage from the world of the dead.
To assist in battle in the form of puppets, I don’t know how many dead people Orochimaru can summon back at the same time now.”
Based on his understanding of the plot, Liang Yue naturally told what would happen later.
And the people present all changed their colors after hearing his words.
Obviously, this key issue was not considered by the Third Hokage and others before.
As for ~ will Orochimaru succumb to Obito's threat and help the other party in order to survive?
In the eyes of the Third Hokage, Tsunade, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and other Konoha high-level officials, this is almost certain, because Uncle Snake seems to have always been a selfish person.
In order to live a long life, he is committed to researching various forbidden techniques, including Impure World Reincarnation, and has developed a method that can achieve reincarnation by invading other people's bodies.
Even, in order to be able to learn the Sage Mode exclusive to humans from Liang Yue, Orochimaru, who had already been at odds with Konoha, could change his course again, pay a huge price, and shamelessly return to the village again.
All these things have already shown that Orochimaru's goal in life is to live a long life and pursue immortality.
Now, in order to survive, will he help Obito fight against the ninja world?
The answer is almost certain, even Jiraiya cannot deny this ~
“This is troublesome…”
… …
Therefore, after being reminded by Liang Yue, in the following time, the group of Konoha high-level officials in the current Hokage office once again entered into a fierce discussion.
In the end, the old guy, the Third Hokage, personally made the decision, and Konoha's main tasks were divided into three parts.
First, and most importantly, it is natural to ensure the safety of Konoha Village, which is the premise of everything ~
Second, it is necessary to focus on dealing with possible changes in the ninja world situation, or even war.
Including the Five Kage Summit a few days later, ensuring the safety of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto, etc., this part of the action is mainly concentrated on the frontal battlefield.
Third, it is natural to go all out to investigate and actively rescue Orochimaru.
Liang Yue was assigned to this third part of the task, and his old partner Jiraiya was also with him…
The two are the main force in this rescue operation. In addition, a squad of Anbu will follow to coordinate and be responsible for handling some miscellaneous matters.
Hozuki Suigetsu, who brought back the news that Orochimaru and Kaguya Kimimaro were captured, was also assigned to this task force.
In addition, when the time came to early morning, when the group was about to set off overnight, after hearing about the mission of the group from nowhere, Jugo, who originally belonged to Orochimaru's command, also volunteered to join.
And Jiraiya, as the leader of this mission, didn't care about anything. Maybe he felt that the other party was loyal enough to Orochimaru, so he agreed with a gratified look…
