Chapter 162 Orochimaru: I am the Hokage!
Hunger, endless hunger. The replaying memories did not cause Hiruzen Sarutobi any regret or pain; instead, they made him even hungrier.
What are you talking about?!
"Hahaha, isn't this wonderful state I'm in? This is truly beautiful, blissful! Hahaha!!!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed, and layers of laughter emanated from his body.
"Come on, hahaha, come on, let us become one, one! Hahaha!!!"
A powerful ninjutsu was unleashed, and the enormous head transformed into a blur as it charged towards the group.
"not good!"
Upon seeing this, the group immediately dodged and, without hesitation, launched an attack on Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi made no attempt to defend against these attacks, and some damage immediately appeared on his massive head.
He was instantly repaired the next moment, and even though he had become this ghostly figure, the characteristics of the Impure World Reincarnation had not disappeared from him.
In the end, the bodies of these ninjas were nailed to the ground.
Pfft!
Crimson blood gushed out, splattering onto a ninja who stared in horror at the scene before him. This monster, identical to their Third Hokage, was chewing on his comrade's body. The cracking of bones, the churning and gnawing of flesh, and the splattering of blood all told him that what was before him was a monster!
"No, no, wake up, Hokage! Wake up! We are the village's ninjas! Wake up!!! Do you remember the Will of Fire? As the village's Hokage, how can you hurt the villagers!!!"
He cried out in despair, hoping to awaken Hiruzen Sarutobi's reason; however, Hiruzen Sarutobi was now...
"Haha, oh, the soul of a ninja is delicious, hahaha!!!"
"Sober? Hahaha, that's right, sober, hahaha, I've always been sober, hahaha!"
"I am now embodying the Will of Fire! Come, merge with me! As long as you merge with me, you will exist forever, and we will be together forever! Hahaha!!!"
"No!!!"
puff!
Crimson blood splattered, and the remaining half of the body convulsed, spraying large amounts of blood.
Soon after, ninjas and civilians alike were devoured by Hiruzen Sarutobi, leaving no survivors. After feeding, he continued to wander, driven by his thirst for souls.
after a while.
"They're all dead? How could this happen? Who? Who would dare to risk such a terrible offense against Konoha and these civilians?"
"Could they be ninjas from another village?"
"No, that's impossible! They're not insane yet. If this is discovered, Lord Jigen will punish them. What if the chosen one is among those killed? Then everything will be over!"
"This attack doesn't seem like... yes, it doesn't seem like something a human could use. Look here, it's clearly been bitten off by something, not by ninjutsu or a sharp blade!"
"A man-eating monster? What could it be?"
"Report this! This is no ordinary monster. We must strike hard! Otherwise, if we let this monster continue to kill, news of a man-eating monster appearing in the Land of Fire will soon reach Orochimaru's hands."
"A man-eating monster?"
Orochimaru frowned as he looked at the report in his hand. It wasn't just about cannibalism; the Konoha ninjas hadn't found any footprints at the scene, only scattered remains and traces of ninjutsu.
It has no footsteps, can use ninjutsu, and doesn't seem to be a monster, but rather a ninja. However, there are chewing, tearing, and gnawing marks on its body, making it look like a human but not quite.
Forget it, whatever it is, if it were before, it wouldn't matter. A few people eating each other wouldn't be a big deal. The Land of Fire has a large population, everyone uses it, so eating a few wouldn't be a problem. But not now. This monster that dares to eat people so brazenly in the Land of Fire, whether human or monster...
Whether it's a monster or not, it must be eradicated.
With this in mind, Orochimaru decided to have his shadow clones continue to participate in perfecting the Impure World Reincarnation research. He himself led the team and personally killed this monster who dared to kill and eat people in the Land of Fire.
"What do you mean we have to intervene too? Orochimaru, just because you're Hokage doesn't mean you've forgotten your place! We advisors are here to give you advice, not to risk our lives for you. Do you really think you're Hiruzen Sarutobi? If it weren't for our teacher, you'd still be a rogue ninja!"
"That's right, Orochimaru, you shouldn't have come to us with this kind of thing. There are so many ninjas in the village, every single one of them is stronger than us old folks. We're old; the village belongs to you young people!"
Inside the Hokage's office, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, two old men, stood together, looking at Orochimaru with an air of superiority, as if Orochimaru wasn't the Hokage but their subordinate, still the same rogue ninja.
"Enough, you two old geezers! Do you think this is still the time when your teacher is alive?"
"Don't put on airs like your so-called seniors in front of me. Remember, I am the Hokage. As ninjas, obeying the Hokage's orders is your duty. I've asked you to participate in this mission, so you must go! The village supports you, not so you can act tough in front of me, the Hokage!"
Orochimaru frowned, looking at the two old men with displeasure. "Is this how you talk to the Hokage?"
Damn it, he's been fed up with those two old Dengs for a long time. After this incident, he might as well just kick them out. He's sure the second-generation leader would agree.
Orochimaru—you—you—
Koharu Utatane stared intently at Orochimaru, raising her hand, her body trembling, her face showing extreme anger and distress. She wanted to say something in rebuttal, but she couldn't utter a single word, because Orochimaru was right.
Furthermore, even Orochimaru, as the Hokage, decided to personally lead the mission. Are these two advisors of higher status than the Hokage? Why can't they go on missions?
"Get ready, you two advisors, lest you die out there!"
Seeing this, Orochimaru smiled slightly, then turned away, leaving the two with his back turned.
"Orochimaru!!! You'll regret this!"
After Orochimaru left, Koharu Utatane's angry voice rang out.
"What do we do now? Are we just going to let Orochimaru continue like this? How can he disrespect his elders? Does he still have the Will of Fire in his heart?"
"The teacher—"
