Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

Page 83

As for whether or not to go through the proper procedures?

There's really no procedure to follow, and is it really necessary to go through the process? The problem is, it's pointless; going through the process would only make her uncomfortable.

Jonin election?

And those villagers?

None of that matters, just have a ceremony.

In fact, when the coup ended and Bai Mu announced that Tsunade would be the Fourth Hokage, no one present objected, which already meant that the matter was 99% certain to be settled. The remaining 1% was the succession ceremony.

As for the fact that the lord nodded in agreement?

This isn't important. If you don't agree, then change your name.

After all, Bai Mu's original intention was to carry out reforms. If the ninja world were to undergo reforms, the daimyo should disappear. However, there's no rush to do that right now, so they'll replace the daimyo first.

If they are obedient, we won't change them; if they are disobedient, we will change them.

The matter is that simple; it all depends on whether the daimyo can do it or not.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, once the border troops return, you can hold the succession ceremony and a meeting at the same time," Bai Mu said with a shrug, seemingly unconcerned.

……

Konoha has always been the center of the ninja world, and in this ninja war, it single-handedly defeated the four major ninja villages, completely overwhelming them. Kirigakure and Kumogakure suffered heavy losses, Iwagakure was forced to cease hostilities, and Sunagakure was unable to withstand the pressure and had to negotiate peace.

It can be said that Konoha won decisively, but the ensuing upheaval shook the entire ninja world.

The world has changed. Konoha has changed. The war was won, but the current leadership has been ousted and sent to the Pure Land. Tsunade, representing the Senju clan, and Hakuba, representing the Uchiha clan, have taken over.

The Senju and Uchiha clans unite once again.

Such explosive news truly dominated all the headlines in the ninja world, while the Third Shinobi World War, which was about to come to an end, was completely ignored.

Onoki, from Iwagakure, was restless, wondering if a coup in Konoha would present an opportunity.

However, it was learned that the main force of Konoha remained stationed within the Land of Fire, without making any unusual moves.

After much deliberation, Onoki finally decided to give up.

While a coup did occur in Konoha, who came to power?

It's Tsunade.

Behind all this, there's that young Uchiha man. Bai Mu is behind all of this. Is Tsunade just a puppet, and the one who's really in charge is Uchiha Bai Mu?

Based on these speculations, Onoki ultimately chose not to take action.

As for the Hidden Cloud Village, after suffering heavy losses, it has long lost its former arrogance. Moreover, now that the Two-Tails Jinchuriki has been captured, it still needs to think about how to redeem the Jinchuriki.

Hands-on?

That's impossible.

As for Kirigakure, after discussions among the Fourth Mizukage and other high-ranking officials, they ultimately decided not to act rashly. If they were to provoke Konoha, who knows what unexpected situations might arise? If Konoha were to invade the Land of Water, that would be truly shameful.

The Land of Rivers, the headquarters of Konoha.

The Sand Village's main force suddenly withdrew, and they also expressed their willingness to cease hostilities and negotiate.

To show his sincerity, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, sent the village hero, Pakura, hoping to reach a ceasefire agreement with Konoha. Orochimaru, however, remained vigilant, temporarily dealing with Sunagakure's sudden peace talks while also informing the village to see what their specific opinions were.

Although he was a frontline commander, matters of this level were not something he could make decisions on his own. He still had to report them, even if he was a disciple of the Hokage.

However, why would Sunagakure suddenly want to cease hostilities?

That's strange, I really don't understand.

While Orochimaru was pondering, a commotion suddenly broke out outside. He couldn't help but frown slightly. What was going on? Had something happened in Sunagakure?

But Orochimaru soon realized what was going on: Jiraiya had barged in, bringing bad news.

"Orochimaru, Tsunade, and the Uchiha clan launched a coup, and our teacher is gone."

Orochimaru:"???"

tease me?

Jiraiya, are you alright?

Are you sure you're not joking with me?

He really didn't expect Tsunade to stage a coup, especially one in alliance with the Uchiha clan. This kind of joke is really not funny.

"Jiraiya, have you lost your mind?" Based on this, Orochimaru's eyes turned cold, and he said in a sinister tone.

Jiraiya's expression was serious as he said in a deep voice, "No, this is the truth, the latest intelligence."

When I first found out about this, I had the same reaction as you.

I don't want to believe it.

But it's true.

"Sarutobi-sensei is dead?"

Orochimaru found it hard to believe that Tsunade could actually do such a thing; it was truly astonishing and he was still reeling from the shock.

More importantly, Hiruzen Sarutobi was killed.

“Yes, Uchiha Hakubaki was killed, from Hiruzen Sarutobi to Danzo Shimura and the two advisors, all gone.” Jiraiya sighed, his expression dejected.

"So what do you plan to do?" Orochimaru was surprised and his feelings were complicated, but his ability to adjust was undeniable. He quickly regained his composure and asked Jiraiya about his next move.

After all, you came here to tell me this, so you must not have just said it to me. You must already have a plan, right?

"Speak up, Jiraiya, it's best to get straight to the point."

"do not know."

Jiraiya shook his head in reply.

This is not a lie, but the truth.

The main issue is that Tsunade is still the Hokage, which leaves him unsure of what to do. Should he oppose Tsunade? If Tsunade steps down, who will become the Hokage?

At present, Tsunade is the most suitable person. It can't be the Uchiha clan who becomes the Hokage, can it?

If that's the case, Jiraiya can only say that Tsunade being the Hokage would be more acceptable.

But the Uchiha clan definitely can't.

Chapter 104 Orochimaru: I have to go back!

"do not know?"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru gave Jiraiya a deep look and said softly, "This isn't you!"

"There's nothing I can do, I'm in a complete mess right now. What do you plan to do?" Jiraiya said slowly, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

What should I do?

I really didn't know.

On the contrary, I'm more concerned about what Orochimaru plans to do.

"I?"

Orochimaru smiled.

In fact, not only Jiraiya, but even he himself didn't know what to do. It was just too shocking, and he was having a hard time making a decision.

Seeing this, Jiraiya's tone became serious: "Orochimaru, I hope you will prioritize the peace of the village. At least now that things have already happened, it's impossible to do anything about it. So I hope that at least the position of Hokage will be Tsunade."

Orochimaru shook his head upon hearing this, looked at Jiraiya meaningfully, and asked, "You hate the Uchiha?"

In response, Jiraiya said, "It's not that we hate them, but rather that we need to be cautious. The Uchiha's actions are too radical. This time they staged a coup, what will they do next? Nobody knows, so we need to be careful!"

"Jiraiya, when did you become as hypocritical as Sarutobi-sensei?" Orochimaru stared at Jiraiya with a cold gaze and couldn't help but sneer.

“The Uchiha clan does indeed have a lot of problems,” Jiraiya said after a moment of silence.

Did I say something wrong?

No one would think that the Uchiha clan's actions this time were without fault. The war was showing signs of abating, yet such a change occurred within the village. Aren't they afraid that other ninja villages would take advantage of the situation?

"This time, it wasn't just the Uchiha who were involved; Tsunade was also involved," Orochimaru reminded him.

Are only Uchiha?

No, don't forget Tsunade.

Although I don't know what agreement Tsunade reached with the Uchiha clan, at least after this coup, Tsunade became the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, and she was the biggest beneficiary.

"I know, but Tsunade might have some hidden reasons for doing this." Jiraiya believed that there must be something unknown behind this incident.

"Difficulties?" Orochimaru sneered upon hearing this, his tone filled with disdain.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Jiraiya, are you really stupid or just pretending? To be honest, Konoha has become quite a mess over the years."

Why is this happening? Do you really not know?

Jiraiya fell silent. He didn't really want to answer this question, but even if there were some problems in the village, it shouldn't have escalated to the point of a coup...

A coup can easily trigger extreme events.

Furthermore, how will the Daimyo approve of this whole scheme? Will the Daimyo even accept that the Hokage position was seized through such means?

Jiraiya didn't know, and didn't want to know.

But he knew this wouldn't end so easily.

"Jiraiya, you don't need to worry about anything else. Since Tsunade has made this decision, then it's what it is, and there's no way to change it."

"Furthermore, I find Uchiha Hakumoku quite surprising. Not only did he manage to unite the Uchiha clan, but he also became the clan head, got Tsunade to agree to the coup, and even managed to kill Sarutobi-sensei and the others..."

"This young man is extraordinary!"

Orochimaru is now very interested in Hakumu. He never expected that such a young man could defeat Kirigakure and Kumogakure in such a short time and kill the Third Mizukage, the Fourth Raikage, and the Hokage of his own village.

Even Orochimaru couldn't help but admire Hakumu for killing three Kage in such a short time: the Mizukage, Raikage, and Hokage. Only the Tsuchikage and Kazekage were missing.

"You guy..."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's lips twitched involuntarily, and he truly didn't know what to say for a moment.
