"Damn it, what kind of power is this?!"
Danzo stared wide-eyed at everything before him, a wave of fear washing over him.
He had never seen such terrifying power before, and even though he was not attacked, his heart was still filled with trembling and unease.
This feeling is even more terrifying than the Sharingan genjutsu.
A direct hit to the deepest fears of the soul!!
"Danzo, you don't seem afraid at all. Do you have some other way to save your life?" Koki's lips curled up slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, the katana in his hand was about to sever Danzo's neck, and Danzo finally couldn't help but surrender, saying, "Kouki, you win. Regarding the matter of Hashirama's cells, I am willing to personally take you there."
Danzo Shimura knew very well that Koki possessed the unpredictable Flying Thunder God Technique, and if he really wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
Therefore, it's best not to reveal Izanagi's abilities.
"You're still the same as when you were young. You won't listen unless I beat you into submission."
Gu Mu's words brought a hint of shame and indignation to Danzo's face.
He hadn't expected that Koki Edo Tensei's strength after his transformation would be so formidable.
From this perspective, it is very likely that Jiraiya, who fought against him, was also defeated by him.
Thinking of this, Danzo led the way while his eyes narrowed slightly.
He began to consider whether he should use the Kotoamatsukami, which might allow him to make the ancient tree work for him.
Imprisoning the ancient tree!
Then, uncover all the secrets about him.
Use it for your own benefit!!
However, it is unclear how long the ancient tree can remain in this world, so Danzo did not use the power of Kotoamatsukami.
Soon, several tubes of something resembling a transparent liquid appeared in Gu Mu's hand.
"Your body can fuse with Hashirama cells?"
Danzo spoke with some skepticism.
"You don't need to worry about that."
"Oh, and one last friendly reminder: don't try anything with me. I have no interest in Konoha."
After Gu Mu finished speaking, he quickly disappeared from the base at the root.
The departure of the ancient tree caused the surrounding spiritual pressure to vanish instantly.
The Root ninjas who were lying on the ground quickly arrived at Danzo's location.
"Chief, are you alright?"
"fine."
Danzo shook his head and slumped into the chair, seemingly lost in thought.
"Chief, shall we make our move?"
Faced with his subordinate's veiled reminder, Danzo's eyes instantly turned cold, like a venomous snake in the darkness: "Just keep an eye on him. Distribute the portrait of Koki, and report back immediately if there is any movement."
"Yes!!"
Upon seeing this, the Root ninjas all disappeared from the spot.
Danzo would naturally not provoke Konoha easily, but if this guy were interested in Konoha...
He would then tell Koki that his name was Danzo, not Onigiri.
However, he seemed to recall that he had thought of this idea when he was young, and as for the result, he was naturally manipulated by Gu Mu.
Chapter 85 All Sides in Momentum, the Ninja World Shaken
Soon, news of the Third Hokage's death spread like wildfire throughout the ninja world, causing turmoil throughout the entire ninja realm.
Among them, the news spread the fastest to the Land of Earth, which borders the Land of Fire.
In the Land of Earth, in Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village), inside the office of the Third Tsuchikage.
Upon learning of the Third Hokage's death, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, immediately wore a gloating expression: "Hahaha, even that old bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't take it anymore..."
Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and a ninja walked in and respectfully said, "Lord Tsuchikage, we have some new information."
"Oh? Bring it up and let me see." Onoki frowned slightly.
After taking the intelligence and glancing at it, Onoki's smile froze, replaced by utter shock: "What did you say? Someone has broken free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation?"
"Yes, according to the report from Konoha's spies, that person has short, silver-white hair and seems to resemble the Second Hokage somewhat," the ninja replied respectfully.
"Not only that, he also engaged in a fierce battle with Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and in the end Jiraiya was no match for him."
“Even Jiraiya is no match for him…” Onoki frowned deeply, lost in thought.
Jiraiya was a true Kage-level fighter, and he was no match for him. Could it be that the reanimated guy possessed Kage-level strength?
Just then, Onoki seemed to suddenly remember something, and abruptly looked at the Iwa ninja, asking in rapid succession, "That guy, isn't his name Koki?!"
His sharp, hawk-like eyes were fixed on the other person, flashing with a fierce light, as if he wanted to see right through the person in front of him.
The Iwa ninja was startled by Onoki's sudden action, and a hint of curiosity and doubt appeared in his eyes: "Lord Tsuchikage, do you know that person?"
Upon hearing this, Onoki's lips twitched slightly, and a complex expression appeared on his face. He said softly, "Heh... I guess he's an acquaintance I've never met."
His voice revealed a hint of self-deprecation and helplessness.
However, what appeared in Onoki's mind was not the image of Koki, but the image of another person—the mad woman who once started the First Shinobi World War.
Back then, it was this woman's declaration that plunged the entire ninja world into chaos and strife.
The reason she started the war was simply to avenge her lover, Gu Mu.
Thinking of this, a deep sense of apprehension flashed in Onoki's eyes.
He unconsciously touched the scar on his back left by Uchiha Shizuru's slash. Although the wound had long since healed, the lingering pain still lingered.
It was as if that knife had not only cleaved his flesh but also been deeply etched into the depths of his soul.
"Huang Tu, order the Iwa ninja on the border to move the warning line a little closer to the Land of Fire, and also to linger around the border a bit more to put pressure on them."
"Now that Konoha is leaderless, we can take this opportunity to see if their ninja village is willing to pay the price to settle things peacefully."
Onoki's expression was grave. He wondered what kind of expression Onoki would have if he knew that Uchiha Shizuri had started the Ninja War because of him.
The thought of a terrifying enemy comparable to a Kage level gave Onoki a headache.
......
Soon, after some time, the Land of Water, which is far from the Land of Fire, arrived.
Not long ago, the Land of Water experienced the Blood Mist Chaos, which was equivalent to the period during the reign of the Second Mizukage.
As a result, the Land of Water is now very isolated from information.
Even so, the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, still received news of the Third Hokage's death.
However, what bothered her even more was that Orochimaru had also summoned the ancient tree.
Although she had never met Koki, there was a sculpture of him in the Mizukage's office, and after the Second Mizukage passed away, almost everyone who came to the office knew who Koki was.
The Second Mizukage, this legendary figure.
For many ninjas in Kirigakure today, he is undoubtedly their idol and spiritual pillar.
Despite being the instigator of that devastating ninja war.
But undeniably, she proved the strength of Kirigakure to the world with her own abilities.
Back then, they completely conquered the Land of Earth in just one month.
If it weren't for the later alliance between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, Iwagakure in the Land of Earth would probably have disappeared from the historical stage of the ninja world long ago.
What's even more astonishing is...
Even the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure was so badly beaten in his battle with the Second Mizukage that he was left with deep psychological trauma.
Although many people know that she was actually a traitor to the Uchiha clan of Konoha.
However, due to her ruthless methods and extraordinary leadership, the military strength of Kirigakure was enhanced to an unprecedented level.
Therefore, she was given the title of "Iron-Faced Fox" by the outside world, which is well-deserved.
It is worth mentioning that this was already during her time in office.
No one in Kirigakure dared to question her authority.
Even Hozuki Gengetsu, who once competed with her for the position of Mizukage, willingly obeyed her commands and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of handling daily affairs.
This demonstrates that the Second Mizukage's influence was far greater than imagined.
That period marked the peak of Kirigakure's military strength.
"Ah~"
"It's a pity that the three major powers joined forces to resist us in the end, otherwise our village might have had to migrate to the mainland."
