Chapter 343 Sarutobi Hiruzen: It hurts, it hurts so much!

"Orochimaru…!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around the mansion in front of him and had forgotten how long it had been since he last came here.

He was very devoted to his disciple, and he was considered his favorite among the three disciples.

Who makes the other person most "like" yourself.

Tsunade is from the Senju clan and has family heritage. Although Jiraiya has a strong character, his talent in ninjutsu is not that good.

Only Orochimaru inherited all of his ninjutsu completely.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had no 'Will of Fire' at all, then the other party would be the best Hokage.

But why did things become like this...?

"Hokage-sama?"

An Anbu warned cautiously.

They have been standing here for a while, and if they delay any longer, who knows what accidents may happen.

After hearing the reminder, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was still immersed in the past, took the lead and entered the mansion.

The few people following behind looked at each other and then followed.

In any case, they also want to know whether the disappearance of the villagers is related to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is the pillar of the village. They admire him for his strength and means. If he is involved in this matter, the consequences will be too serious.

Only Danzo and Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes accidentally met, and then quickly separated.

has a problem?.

Hinata Cangyue had a very keen observation ability, so she naturally noticed this. However, before she could observe it more carefully, Tang Ping patted her shoulder lightly, signaling her to look less.

That's it!

After getting this hint, she instantly realized that today's incident must be related to the two of them.

The reason is not hard to guess.

Naruto!

This position is definitely a dream come true for these two people, and the most popular candidate now is Orochimaru, so it is only natural for them to join forces to defeat the other party.

Although Hinata Cangyue doesn't look very smart.

But in fact, he is extremely perceptive, otherwise, he would not have been able to disguise himself since childhood and survive successfully.

It was that time when she met a group of 'unsportsmanlike' children in the grove, otherwise she would definitely have ended up becoming a terrifying existence like the ungrateful wolf and the filial son.

After realizing this, Hinata Cangyue naturally would not remind others. Instead, he hoped that the two of them would make bigger moves.

Fight, fight!

Her mentality at the moment is to watch the fun without minding any trouble.

What she could never have imagined was that this matter would be much bigger than she expected.

Until now, even when seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen changing into combat gear, everyone just thought that this was just the Third Hokage's way of showing his importance to the missing people, and not that he was really preparing to fight Orochimaru.

After all, even if he was responsible for the disappearance of the villagers, given his status and position, he would at most be imprisoned for a period of time, and it would be absolutely impossible to kill him.

Step, step!

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked in the front, and the Anbu members were also extremely restrained, with no intention of overstepping the line at all.

At other times, they would naturally show off.

But when the target is Orochimaru, the favorite disciple of the Third Hokage, if they act too hastily, who knows if they will be kicked out afterwards because of the reason of "entering the Anbu with the left foot first".

Even if the Third Hokage would not do this, there are bad people among the people, and there shouldn't be too many people who want to please the Hokage.

along the way.

There were no traps or mechanisms, and even the doors were not closed, allowing them to move freely along the way.

Soon, when they entered the basement, they stopped.

"Orochimaru!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted angrily.

pain!
It hurts so much!
There was anger and disappointment in his voice.

Because here, many villagers and even Konoha ninjas are imprisoned.

The proof is like a mountain!

These people are the best evidence.

In other words, the disappearance of villagers during this period was all caused by Orochimaru.

"Lord Hokage!"

"Chief, save me, Orochimaru has gone crazy!"

"Great, we're saved!"

...

When the people imprisoned in the basement cell saw them, they all cried for joy.

Because they know what happened to those who were taken for experiments.

All dead!

So I was naturally very excited when I saw them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was extremely angry at this time because Orochimaru dared to attack the villagers and completely failed his expectations.

"Hokage-sama, there is a secret passage here!"

An Anbu suddenly spoke up, waking Sarutobi Hiruzen up.

Yes, now is not the time to be angry, but to arrest the other party.

Whoosh!
Sarutobi Hiruzen rushed into the opened secret passage.

Seeing this, several Anbu ninjas quickly followed.

Even if they don't think anything will happen, protecting the Hokage is their duty, so they naturally cannot slack off.

As for the clan leaders, they naturally stayed in the basement and did not follow.

Anyway, the truth of the matter is already known, and they don't want to watch any more of the love-hate relationship between the master and disciple. Otherwise, when Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks of his disciple in the future, he will also think of them, which will be troublesome.

Even the remaining three members of F4 will spend the rest of the time alone with the master and apprentice.

I can only say that we are all smart people.

But just because they don't follow doesn't mean no one dares to follow.

Whoosh!
Tang Ping quickly rushed into the passage and left a sentence.

"I'm going to protect Hokage-sama!"

This excuse was simply perfect. In this way, no one could say that he was wrong to follow him.

As for Hinata Cangyue who was following like an invisible person, no one cared about him at all.

Tang Ping moved forward quickly along this several-meter-high pipe.

Slippery and cold!
It feels like it's not a passage prepared for humans, but rather for snakes.

All I can say is that Orochimaru may have become a little "inhuman" now.

Their habits in all aspects have become similar to those of snakes.

The passage is extremely long!

About one kilometer away, it should be below the Death Forest.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already rushed to the end of the corridor and saw the lights of the laboratory ahead.

In the laboratory located deep underground, only the light on the operating table is bright, while other places are dark and deep, which makes people feel fearful.

Only Orochimaru would like this kind of experimental environment.

On the operating table.

A corpse was being dissected by Orochimaru. He was staring at the corpse in front of him with fanatical eyes, as if it was not a corpse, but something pleasing.

"Orochimaru, how dare you use the people of this village for experiments!"

Looking at the corpse of the Konoha ninja on the experimental table, Sarutobi Hiruzen's blood pressure instantly rose.

He was not unaware that Orochimaru was conducting human experiments.

Even in the ninja world, this is something that is forbidden by everyone, but although everyone forbids it openly, no one knows how much fun they have with it in private.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen at most reprimanded Orochimaru on the surface, but he never actually punished Orochimaru for it.

But what he never expected was that the other party would use people from the same village for experiments.

This broke his bottom line.

"Sarutobi-sensei, isn't this what you wanted to see?"

Orochimaru put down the scalpel in his hand, took off his gloves, turned around and answered calmly.

To join himself to the roots is what he meant.

And it is impossible for the other party not to know the root style. In other words, the reason why I have become what I am today is entirely due to my teacher.

"... "

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a complicated look in his eyes.

Because he knew that it was indeed his fault.

He knew how dark the Root was, but he still let his disciples join the Root. The other party's mistake at this time was entirely caused by him.
He bit his index finger.

"Psychic art!"

He directly summoned his spirit beast.

The Ape Demon King is a powerful fighter, and with the two of them working together, Orochimaru is no match for them at this stage.

"Sarutobi, you are..."

After the ape demon appeared, he glanced around but found no enemy.

"Ape Demon, I want to clean up the mess!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the order painfully.

"Humph, I've long said that Orochimaru has a dark heart. It's your fault that he ended up like this!"

Saruma is incredibly intelligent. He had long seen the danger of Orochimaru and had tried to persuade the Third Hokage, but the latter, who loved his disciple too much, ignored his advice. Today's situation was entirely his own fault.

"I know, so now I have to make up for my mistake!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the summoning beast that had turned into a stick in his hand and prepared for battle.
