Chapter 295: A New Villain is Born
The scene returns to the battlefield ruins of Iwagakure.
It only took less than two minutes, Mu easily captured Konan, who was almost exhausted, captured her alive and handed her over to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru wasn't very interested in Konan, but he still managed to keep her alive.
After all, Konan is Nagato's one true love.
Orochimaru, who has experienced the threat of forbidden food several times, is clearly getting sweeter and sweeter, even a little addicted.
If it's useful, it's best to use it more often.
Orochimaru has just captured Konan.
On the edge of the Iwagakure ruins, Konoha's support troops also arrived.
Guy, with a dazzling blue chakra steam ball on his head, charged at high speed from a distance.
"Hokage-sama, I'm here! Where's the enemy?"
"That bird man who planted bombs, take my punch!"
Guy saw Deidara and Sasori, and without saying a word, he used the Daytime Tiger technique and charged directly towards them.
The terrifying air cannon transformed into a ferocious beast and swept away everything.
Not to mention Deidara and Sasori who were already close to exhaustion, even in their prime, they couldn't withstand a direct blow from Daytime Tiger!
Poor Deidara, he didn't die in the previous decisive battle, but instead died at the hands of an 'unknown' person in Konoha?
"Summoning: Triple Rashōmon!"
Orochimaru exerted his strength to form a triple Rashomon.
He stood in front of Deidara and Sasori, blocking the Air Cannon.
"Guy, stop!"
"Hokage-sama, aren't they enemies?"
"They've surrendered. They're still useful for now. No need to kill them all."
"Oh! Are there any other enemies?"
"No more. The battle here is over. You can stop using your Eight Gates. If you keep doing it, your body might not be able to hold up."
"Good!"
When Guy heard that the battle was over, although he felt a little regretful, he still honestly closed the Eight Gates.
The long-lasting Seventh Gate did put a lot of pressure on his body.
Now that it's closed, his whole body is still burning hot, lumps of heat are shaking and rising, his muscles are aching all over, and he's almost lost most of his fighting strength.
"Is Kakuzu dead?"
"Not dead. There's one mask left, but it's sealed."
Guy responded promptly.
Poor Kakuzu, he met the perverted Guy as soon as he made his debut.
He was suppressed and beaten almost all the time, with no strength to fight back.
It was only thanks to his immortal body that he was able to hold on for a while, but he was still kicked to pieces by Guy one by one.
In the end, only one masked heart remained, and that heart was captured and sealed alive by Konoha's Sealing Corps.
"Kakuzu is so unlucky! He had to meet a pervert like you." Orochimaru sighed with a smile.
Guy showed a silly smile with his white teeth, feeling that this was a compliment to himself.
After a while, Nara Shikaku and the others also rushed to the scene.
"Hokage-sama!"
"How's the situation outside?"
"All those white monsters have fled underground. The situation is basically under control now, and we're cleaning up the battlefield outside."
After the deaths of Obito and Nagato, the entire Akatsuki organization collapsed.
There's no point in continuing the fight with the remaining White Zetsu forces. They all retreated quickly under the command of the White Zetsu's true form.
"Have they all escaped?"
"By the way, there's still one Zetsu left. Is he still secretly controlling the White Zetsu forces?"
Orochimaru frowned slightly and quickly guessed that it was Zetsu.
But he didn't care too much.
The Akatsuki organization has been destroyed, and the remaining Zetsu can't make many waves.
The main reason is that the other party intends to hide, and almost no one can dig him out.
Besides, Orochimaru doesn't have time to hunt down Zetsu now, because he has more important things to deal with.
This battle almost wiped out the entire Akatsuki organization.
Besides, the Five Village alliance also suffered many casualties. Except for Konoha, the other villages lost at least 80% of their soldiers, and Iwagakure was almost completely destroyed.
In this way, Konoha has become the biggest winner!
This is the perfect time to speed up the second deal between him and Lux, and take the opportunity to destroy the remaining four villages and complete the unification.
Orochimaru is very eager for the god's corpse promised by Lux as research material.
He must complete the second transaction by any means.
Of course, he himself doesn't mind unifying the entire ninja world, and he's even a little looking forward to it.
After all, once the unification is complete, all the valuable research materials in the world will be in his pocket. He can use them whenever he wants, which will definitely be much more exciting than just being a Hokage!
What Orochimaru is considering now is when to be hostile and take drastic action?
There are currently two options:
Or they can turn against each other now and rely on Konoha's main force advantage to devour all the remaining Ninja Alliance!
Stabilize the remaining ninja alliance first, then divide the troops to steal their nests!
Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
The first can wipe out the entire ninja alliance at once; but the news is easy to leak, which allows the remaining three villages to receive the news and enter a defensive state.
Although the ninja alliance has almost taken all the elite troops in each village, the remaining troops in the other villages cannot be underestimated. Especially those who still have Jinchūriki and Bijuu Guardians, if they receive intelligence and defend in advance, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
The latter is to stabilize the remaining alliance forces first and then secretly attack the nests of each family, which is obviously more efficient; but the risk is undoubtedly greater. After all, the troops have to be divided into several routes, and if they fail halfway, the losses will definitely be greater.
Orochimaru is now considering which method to choose?
No matter what, it has to be destroyed.
Like Madara, Orochimaru has no moral burden, and there's no Hashirama to stop him.
There's Jiraiya.
It's just that Orochimaru knows the old pervert very well, and can easily control him with just a few tricks.
What's more, he should still be in Konoha Village, far beyond his reach and unable to come to him.
Only after hesitating for a moment, Orochimaru still made a decision and prepared to capture all the remaining ninjas from the other four villages on the outskirts first!
It won't be too late to lead the troops slowly and destroy the other three villages later.
No matter how tight the defenses of the remaining three villages are, can they compare to the Akatsuki organization? Can they still stop his Edo Tensei army?
"Shikaku, come here!"
"Hokage-sama, is there anything else you need?"
Shikaku is very respectful, and he truly respects the Fifth Hokage from the bottom of his heart.
The terrifying enemies who can destroy the entire ninja alliance with one blow were all defeated by Orochimaru.
Don't worry about how they did it or what methods they used. Anyway, in the end, he brought Konoha to win the war and became a hero in the entire ninja world!
If it were the Third Hokage, he would have a hard time defeating Ōnoki, so there's no way he could defeat Pain.
Therefore, now almost all Konoha ninjas are convinced by Orochimaru.
"I need you to do this… You understand?"
Orochimaru whispered instructions to Shikaku.
Let him lead the main force of Konoha on the outskirts, disperse and surround; then wait for his order to swallow the remaining four ninja villages in one bite.
"Ah? Hokage-sama, this…"
Shikaku's face changed drastically. As the thinker of Konoha, he's not stupid.
He immediately understood Orochimaru's intention.
Is Orochimaru so ambitious?
Isn't it enough to win the Ninja World War? Are they even planning to swallow the other four villages?
Isn't this crazy?
"Shikaku, you also participated in the Third Ninja World War, right? You should also be very aware of what other villages have done to Konoha."
"Now is the best time to solve this problem once and for all. You don't want your children and grandchildren to experience brutal ninja wars in the future, do you?"
"…"
Shikaku is very hesitant. Orochimaru's words really touched his heart.
No father wants the flames of war to fall on his son again in the future.
"Don't worry, everything is according to plan. We're guaranteed to win!"
"Obey your orders!"
Shikaku gritted his teeth and agreed cruelly.
The Akatsuki organization has been defeated. Who else can we trust besides our own Hokage?
After saying that, Shikaku turned and left, rushing to mobilize the main force of Konoha on the outskirts. Seeing Shikaku leave, Orochimaru smiled even more.
He's going to be the big villain who dominates the entire ninja world. He feels a little excited just thinking about it!
But at this moment, two other figures who shouldn't have appeared suddenly crossed the edge of the giant hole, rushed to this side, and fell into Orochimaru's sight.
"Jiraiya? Is there another mischievous boy I haven't seen?"
"Why is he here?!"
Orochimaru frowned, full of doubts.
