Wood Leaf won the battle of Kikyo Mountain, not only did they completely drive the Sand out of the Land of Fire, they also captured a lot of captives, including a small number of Sand Shinobis and a large number of civilians.
And the Sand's withdrawal from the Land of Fire also meant that the war between the two countries will end with the victory of Wood Leaf, and it was Orochi Maru who brought all of this!
So naturally, Orochi Maru's reputation reached the peak in an instant, when he returned to the village with the captives, countless civilians of Wood Leaf cheered.
Sarutobi stood on the rooftop of the Naruto building, looking at this scene, his eyes were a bit dignified and hesitant.
The war with the Sand has temporarily come to an end, so the Anbu that he sent to assist Orochi Maru has returned one step ahead of time.
From the mouth of the Anbu, Sarutobi noticed some dark figures under the ground.
Root!
Sarutobi's thoughts gradually drifted to the past.
More than 40 years ago, not long after the establishment of Wood Leaf, the first Naruto Naruto, known as the God of Shinobi Hashirama, died. After his death, Wood Leaf lost its Mokuton, and its status in the Shinobi World plummeted, it didn't take long for a war to break out, and the second Naruto also died, and then Sarutobi inherited the position of the third Naruto.
In order to improve the strength of the village as soon as possible, Sarutobi agreed to Danzō's request and allowed him to establish Root in the name of the 'Anbu Training Department'. After that, in order to prevent the threat of the Nine Tails, Sarutobi and Danzō used Hashirama's cells to do human experiments, trying to cultivate new Mokuton ninjas!
Yes, in addition to Danzō, Sarutobi also used Hashirama's cells to do human experiments!
Unfortunately, their human experiments all failed, and the volunteers who were the test subjects all died without exception.
Sarutobi had no choice but to stop the experiments, and then sealed the data and records of the experiments as a dark history.
After the Second Shinobi World War broke out, Sarutobi's three disciples, Orochi Maru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, became the Sannin.
At the same time, Danzō's Root was also active, collecting corpses and captives everywhere. Sarutobi looked at this and thought, little brother, are you secretly doing human experiments behind my back?
Therefore, Sarutobi sent Orochi Maru to be Danzō's personal guard. First, it was to show his trust in Danzō, and second, it was to monitor whether Danzō and his Root continued to do human experiments!
Through Orochi Maru, Sarutobi confirmed that Danzō didn't continue the research, perhaps because he felt guilty, Sarutobi trusted Danzō more and more, and it didn't take long for Sarutobi to find a reason to let Orochi Maru leave Root.
Sarutobi thought that this was the end of the matter, until now.
From the Anbu's report, he found out that in addition to the Anbu, Danzō's Root also followed Orochi Maru to the Sand battlefield.
And after arriving at the battlefield, Orochi Maru actually scattered all the Anbu and transferred them to various units, while all the Root ninjas were left behind as guards!
In other words, compared to Sarutobi, the Anbu, Orochi Maru trusted Danzō's Root more!
After confirming the close relationship between Orochi Maru and Danzō, the injured Sarutobi had to doubt the credibility of the information sent by Orochi Maru when he was monitoring Danzō.
Did Danzō really stop the human experiments?
Then, Sarutobi immediately checked the number of corpses recorded after Orochimaru arrived at the front line, he found that the number of corpses didn't decrease, but there were no corpses of Sand Shinobis!
You know, before Orochi Maru arrived at the frontline, they seized a lot of Sand ninjas' corpses, and even living captives, but after Orochi Maru arrived at the frontline, he was nowhere to be found!
It's clear that Orochi Maru took them away.
These things are very scary, and Sarutobi didn't dare to think about it.
Of course, all of this may be his own worry.
Sarutobi's face was heavy, but just in case, he still had to investigate. But unfortunately, at this time, the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning declared war one after another, which instantly attracted Sarutobi's attention.
As early as when the war broke out between the Wood Leaf camp, the Sand, and the Mist, Sarutobi had already sent a large number of ninjas to the border, but when the war really broke out, the problem was exposed.
For example … The loss of the elite ninjas of the Wood Leaf camp!
The two major clans of the Wood Leaf camp, the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan were still in the coastal area of the Land of Fire, and they couldn't leave.
Although the war with the Sand is over, the war also consumed a lot of the village's high-end combat power, coupled with Tsunade's bloodthirst, Jiraiya's laziness, and Orochi Maru's' suspicion ', at this time, the high-end combat power of the Wood Leaf camp can be counted on one hand!
Sarutobi thought for a while, and finally, he remembered a man.
"Naruto -sama!"
Po Shui Mun still had short golden hair covering his ears, and his blue eyes were as deep as the sky.
"Minato, how is the development of the Flying Thunder God?" Sarutobi got straight to the point.
"It's done!" Po Shui Mun smiled.
Sarutobi's eyes gradually lit up: "Great, Minato, you're just in time!"
Po Shui Mun, as a Jonin of the village, naturally knew about the declaration of war between the Earth and the Lightning, and from Sarutobi's tone, he also heard some of it, so he immediately said: "Naruto -sama, please allow me to go to the front line!"
Sarutobi nodded and said: "The Earth and the Lightning, which side are you going to choose?"
Po Shui Mun narrowed his eyes: "The Earth!"
The speed of Minato's Flying Thunder God was unparalleled in the world. Whether it was the Cloud or the Rock, there was no difference. However, in comparison, the Cloud were mostly good at Taijutsu and Swordsmanship, and their reactions were fast. On the other hand, the Rock were much more 'clumsy'. Comparing the two, naturally, the Rock were easier to kill.
Sarutobi immediately agreed, and all the Anbu that followed Orochi Maru to the Sand battlefield were all under Po Shui Mun's command!
After Po Shui Mun agreed, he immediately went to the Uzumaki Shinna Kushina to say goodbye, and then took the Anbu to the Rain Country.
… …
A few days later, Danzō came back from the Rain Country, and immediately pulled Sarutobi, Utatane, and the others to a meeting, the first thing was to recommend Orochi Maru, who won the battle of Kikyo Mountain, to command Wood Leaf, the Earth, and the Lightning!
In the past, Sarutobi might have agreed, but now, he has suspected that Orochi Maru and Danzō are doing human experiments behind his back, if Orochi Maru goes to the front, who knows what he will do to collect the experimental results.
Of course, the most terrifying thing is that Orochimaru is recognized by the outside world as the successor of the Hokage. Once Orochimaru gains great merits on the battlefield again, then Orochimaru will definitely compete for the position of Fourth Hokage!
When Orochi Maru becomes the Naruto, the human experiments that were sealed by Sarutobi are likely to reappear in Wood Leaf!
Sarutobi smoked quietly, he faintly refused Danzō, and said that Orochi Maru just came back from the Sand battlefield, and he should rest for a while, then he pushed Ino-Shika-Cho.
