Chapter 617

The next day.

The news of Silver Flash's return spread throughout Konoha.

The entire Konoha was completely boiling, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake was set off. Countless civilians and ninjas were shocked and almost couldn't help but cheer.

Silver Flash is the hero of Konoha!

Although in the past two years, Minato replaced Maple's position and became the new hero of Konoha, but Maple's achievements will not disappear, they will be recorded in the history of Konoha!

As for Sarutobi, Danzo, and the others, after learning the news, their hearts were almost violently shaken, they all clearly realized one fact.

Trouble is coming!

If Maple disappears, the situation of Konoha will inevitably become stable, under the leadership of Sarutobi, the position of Yondaime Hokage will be steadily passed to Minato.

But now it's different, Maple may not be old enough to succeed as Yondaime Hokage, but if he is delayed for a few years, Maple will still have the qualifications to compete for the position of Yondaime Hokage, and if Orochimaru gets Maple's support, he will be able to regain his position!

Immediately.

Sarutobi held an internal meeting, the members of the meeting were only Danzo, Shirou Koharu, Homura, and a few other elders.

At the same time, Maple arrived at Orochimaru's base.

Orochimaru looked at Maple who appeared in front of him and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you won't leave this world so easily, Maple."

"There was a little accident."

Maple explained briefly, then took out a small bottle of blood and threw it to Orochimaru: "This is a gift for you, sensei, the blood of Yondaime Kazekage Rorsha."

"Magnetic Release Kekkei Limit?"

Orochimaru's eyes lit up slightly, he caught the blood bottle and said: "It's indeed a bit troublesome to get this … Did you go to the Sand Village?"

Maple said casually: "I did go to the Sand Village."

Although it seems like a casual sentence, Orochimaru clearly understood a fact from Maple, that is, the current Maple has the strength to surpass the Great Shinobi Village, almost equivalent to the Shinobi God Hashirama Senju!

Perhaps invading the Sand Village, taking part of the Yondaime Kazekage's blood and retreating, if it was him, he could also do it, but Maple's attitude was too relaxed.

It was as if it was an insignificant matter.

Such an attitude also corresponded to his strength, or rather, Maple didn't hide it from him, he already has the strength to surpass the Great Shinobi Village.

"On the way back, I met Tsunade-sama, and I heard from her that sensei has lost interest in the position of Hokage?"

Orochimaru was silent for a while, then said with a slight sarcasm: "Too many people don't want me to be the Hokage, so I have indeed lost interest. Compared to that, the meaning of the existence of a ninja should be the pursuit of eternal life."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

Maple looked at Orochimaru and said softly: "I will respect sensei's opinion, if sensei wants to be the Hokage, I will still support you."

After leaving this sentence, Maple walked out of the base.

With his current strength, he no longer fears anything in Konoha, so everything depends on Orochimaru's choice, no matter what choice Orochimaru makes in the end, he will respect and support him.

"Hokage …"

Orochimaru muttered to himself as he looked at Kaede's departing back.

…

Maple didn't stay in Konoha for long.

He only stayed for a day, and after a simple greeting with Sarutobi, he left Konoha again and went to the frontline camp in the east.

That is the frontline camp to guard against the Mist, and the purpose of the camp is to guard some important areas and connect with each other. Kakashi was sent there a few days ago.

Half a day later.

Maple arrived at the frontline camp.

The ninjas in the frontline camp haven't received any information from Konoha yet, and when they saw Maple, they almost couldn't believe it, but after Maple showed some simple methods, they confirmed Maple's identity, and then Maple got the latest information from the temporary captain of the camp.

"Two days ago, the team led by Kakashi was attacked by the Mist, and Nohara Rein, a member of the team, was captured by the Mist, and Kakashi is now leading a team to track and rescue them …"

The temporary team leader in charge of the campsite, Oily Girl Takumi, reported to Maple in a low voice.

Hearing the information reported by the greasy oil girl, Maple's eyes flashed slightly and said: "What about the specific tracking route and the movement route of the Mist?"

It seems that there should be enough time.

Interfering with the plot may lead to a head-on conflict with Madara, but he will never sit back and watch the people around him get into trouble, especially when he has the ability to stop it.

"The specific route is here …"

The greasy girl Katsuma immediately told Maple Night the exact route he was going to take. Maple Night didn't stay for long either. He immediately left the frontline camp and chased after Kakashi.

…

At the same time.

Somewhere on the border of the Land of Fire, in the camp of the Mist, a huge amount of chakra was gradually shrinking and eventually disappeared.

A large number of Mist ninjas were in the middle of the hand seals, surrounding a girl in the center, and a huge seal was formed with the girl as the center and gradually shrinking.

"Ah …"

The girl let out a painful sound.

The pain came from the inside of her mind, or it came from the Three-Tailed Sasuke that has been sealed in her body, and at this time, it was roaring angrily behind the seal.

"Tailed beast … Three-Tailed …"

Lin, who realized what happened, gritted her teeth slightly, and a lot of thoughts flashed in her mind.

The Mist sealed the Three-Tailed in her body and turned her into the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tailed!

What is the purpose?

Is it to use her as a sealing vessel for the Three-Tailed? But if that's the case, there's no need to use her as a Konoha ninja, it can be carried by the Mist ninjas, and the risk of the Three-Tailed Seal going berserk in her body will be much greater.

Lin couldn't think of the reason why the Mist did this, but she guessed that it must not be a good thing, and it must be to use her to do something extremely bad.

Lin gritted her teeth slightly.

When she knew that she was captured by the Mist, she understood that her chances of survival were not great, and the Mist obviously intended to use her to do something. Although she couldn't guess the specific content, she couldn't let the Mist succeed in any case.

The figure of Maple flashed in her mind, as well as some scenes of Minato, Kakashi, and Obito, and her clenched teeth gradually loosened.

"Kakashi … I can only leave you alone …"

"Maple …"

"I should see you over there, right?"

A smile appeared on her face, and with a thought, she tried to make her chakra explode from her heart and end her life.

However, this action was stopped the moment it appeared.

"Huh?!"

Lin was surprised, and she continued to try, but soon she found that she couldn't successfully commit suicide. As long as this behavior appears, it will be stopped by the Mist.

A sealing technique to prevent suicide?

She can't even commit suicide …

Lin gritted her teeth again, and she gradually realized what the Mist wanted to do. The Mist wanted to use her as a jinchuriki to send her to Konoha and use the power of the three tails to cause large-scale damage to Konoha.

"No … I can't stop it … I can't commit suicide …"
