After Tetsuya's battle with the Sannin, the mysterious masked man Fei was later recognized by Konoha's top management as the former Second Hokage Tobirama's guard, Uchiha Kagami.
In view of the complexity of the matter, Konoha decided to withdraw all ninjas in the Land of Rain and end the war completely.
However, tragedy still happened. Tsunade's boyfriend, Kato Dan, who had mastered the art of spiritual transformation, died on the battlefield in a miserable and horrifying manner.
Tsunade suffered from hemophobia after witnessing Kato Dan's death.
The Second Ninja War also came to an end, but it ended in a hurry, which laid the foundation for the Third Ninja War.
Konoha, somewhere in the root secret research institute.
Orochimaru studied what he copied from the Sealed Book, and from time to time he stretched out his long tongue and licked his lips in excessive excitement.
"Subarashi, this thing is amazing. Is this the Impure Earth Reincarnation? It's a great art that can bring the dead back to life."
In excitement, he put down the scroll he was copying, picked up another scroll and started writing, writing over and over again while muttering happilly to himself.
"However, this technique still needs to be perfected. Master Second Hokage, with your wisdom, you should not leave behind an incomplete technique. Why haven't you perfected this technique?"
He could probably guess what happened. Needless to say, it was the 'benevolent' First Hokage who forcefully halted the research of this technique.
After all, this technique would not only disturb the dead, but also sacrifice a living. With that person's character, he would never allow such a technique to exist.
"It doesn't matter. I will perfect this technique for you, Master Second Hokage. When the time comes, I will let you witness the technique I have perfected with your own eyes."
Orochimaru felt extremely excited when he thought that he could use his perfected technique to resurrect the Second Hokage who invented this technique sometime in the future.
While Orochimaru was constantly researching and improving the Impure Earth Reincarnation, a root ninja knocked on the door and walked into the research institute.
"Lord Orochimaru, Danzo-sama invites you."
"I understand, tell him I'll be there right away."
Orochimaru continued his research without looking back.
"Lord Orochimaru, Danzo-sama has invited you, please come over immediately."
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'll get there."
"Lord Orochimaru, Danzo..."
Before the root ninja finished speaking, a big snake appeared behind him without warning, entangled him directly, and then swallowed him in one gulp.
"What a shame, these root ninjas really don't know when to stop."
Orochimaru snorted, quickly completed the final calculation, and summoned a small white snake that swallowed the scroll.
The ninjas at the root only recognize Danzo, the leader of the root, no one else. Such an organization is really a bunch of lunatics.
After packing his things, Orochimaru left his research institute and went to find Danzo.
In another underground research institute, Danzo was staring at a pile of green bottles and cans in front of him with his one eye.
"Elder Danzo, what do you want from me?"
Orochimaru's hoarse and cold voice sounded, and Danzo slowly turned around.
"Orochimaru, I have gathered the things you asked for before. When do you plan to start the Hashirama cell experiment?"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru glanced past Danzo and looked at the containers behind him.
There were babies soaked in the green containers.
"As expected of you, Elder Danzo, you actually did it. It's not easy to deal with so many babies."
Orochimaru smiled maliciously and licked his lips, looking at Danzo with some curiosity in his eyes.
"Hmph, I am the root of Konoha, the darkness behind the ninja world. Some sacrifices are necessary. Everything is for Konoha."
Danzo spoke plausibly.
"Those Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Kagami, Uchiha... In short, those dead guys are resurrected one by one. Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot protect Konoha by himself. In the end, I have to be the one who protects Konoha.
I will definitely destroy those inherently evil Uchiha and protect Konoha from those devils. "
"Haha, it's as expected, Elder Danzo, you are so wise."
Orochimaru couldn't help but applaud Danzo's statement.
"Do a good job Orochimaru. After Monkey steps down, the next generation of Hokage will be one of the Sannin. With Monkey and I supporting you, I think you are worthy of taking the seat."
When he heard this, a strange look flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.
Years go by and time flies.
In the Land of Rain, Kakuzu once again found the external person in charge of Amegakure. Under the influence of a generous amount of wealth, the person introduced Kakuzu to Sansho Hanzo.
In the office, wearing a gas mask, Kakuzu met Hanzo, who claimed to be the demigod of the ninja world.
However, at this moment, Salamder Hanzo seemed to be much more timid than the high-spirited Hanzo before on the battlefield. His eyes seemed to lack spirit and will.
Kakuzu was happy, he could infer the cause.
It was probably on the battlefield after he defeated Sannin, he unfortunately met Boss Izuna and got traumatised. All his energy and spirit were chopped off by Boss Izuna's sword.
"It's you, Kakuzu, the rebellious ninja from Takigakure."
Kakuzu did not change his appearance, because he knew that transformation techniques would be futile in front of masters, and would only arouse their suspicion, casuing others to think that you have ulterior motives.
"Haha, Leader Hanzo is joking, I am no longer a ninja, I am just a businessman."
"You, businessman?"
Hanzo cast a questioning look.
Kakuzu nodded and smiled.
"Yes, I have done so much for Takigakure, but in the end I was quickly cast aside by them.
This made me to understand one thing.
When one pursues wealth, never be a ninja. A ninja can only bow their head and accept tolls from their village even after risking their lives completing missions. If such traditions won't change, then I simply won't be a ninja.
I will become a businessman and focus on making money.
This Ninja World War, I had a great time cooperating with you Amegakure, didn't I? You got much needed supplies and won the war, and I got the money. "
"Hmph, then what's the purpose of your visit?"
"Hey, don't look at me so unpleasantly, Leader Hanzo. What purpose can I have? I am not a ninja now, and I do not represent a certain force. I am here to discuss cooperation."
"cooperate?"
Sanshouyu Hanzo frowned.
"What do you want to collaborate on?"
"I have a big plan to make a fortune here. As long as Amegakure is willing to cooperate with us, we can earn a lot of money together."
