Chapter 85: Aren't You Seeking Death Yourself?
Especially when she noticed Orochimaru standing to the side, looking over with a smile as if watching a play, Tsunade rolled her eyes directly.
"Look at what! What the hell are you laughing at! Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"
"Ma!"
He shrugged. Teasing was just teasing; deep down, Orochimaru was also a little afraid of Tsunade's Monstrous Strength.
"Are you sure you won't eat? After all, the dinner looks quite sumptuous. If you don't want it, I can take it!"
"Take it away! Take it away!"
Although it looked good, Tsunade waved her hand in disgust.
Even Tsunade felt that Dan Katō was getting a little carried away.
Who does he think I am?
"Is that wise? Do you want Dan Katō to die? Why keep him alive?"
"Hmm?"
Orochimaru was somewhat surprised.
After all, before this, Tsunade had never said such things.
It seemed she was obviously annoyed by Dan Katō.
"Rest assured!"
Orochimaru smiled confidently.
"When the next battle begins, Dan Katō will die on the battlefield as a Hero of Konoha!"
Orochimaru spoke plainly, as if it were no big deal.
"Tch! That's letting him off easy!"
Tsunade had no good rebuttal to this.
To be able to die as a Hero of Konoha was an honor for Dan Katō.
Poor Dan Katō didn't know that he had been marked for death by Orochimaru.
There was no helping it; coveting someone you shouldn't covet—isn't that just seeking death?
...
Meanwhile, inside the Hokage Building in Konoha Village, Land of Fire.
Looking at the war report from the Kumogakure battlefield in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen was full of joy.
"Good! Fought well! As expected of Aoyama Ryūun!"
Although the battlefields with Sunagakure and Iwagakure had not fallen into a disadvantage, they didn't have an advantage either.
Now seeing that Aoyama Ryūun had achieved such an advantage on the Kumogakure battlefield, Sarutobi Hiruzen was naturally happy.
The gloomy worries in his heart caused by the start of the Third Ninja World War were swept away at this moment.
Even facing the alliance of so many Ninja Villages, Konoha was still the strongest.
"Hahahaha!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed directly out of happiness.
However, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Shimura Danzō, who were in the same office, were not happy at this moment.
For them, it would be fine if an advantage was gained on the Sunagakure or Iwagakure battlefields.
But why did it have to be the Kumogakure battlefield?
One must know, their relationship with Aoyama Ryūun was not good.
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen so joyful, Danzō felt it necessary to remind him.
"Wake up, Hiruzen! Don't you think Aoyama Ryūun's prestige is too dazzling right now?"
"..."
Sure enough, being told this, the smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face instantly froze.
He fell into deep thought.
It must be known that Sarutobi Hiruzen was also greedy for the position of Hokage.
He had originally planned to groom Namikaze Minato, that tool, during this war.
But looking at it now, with the existence of Aoyama Ryūun, Namikaze Minato's light would only be covered by Aoyama Ryūun.
"Aoyama Ryūun!"
Frowning slightly, the joy from earlier dissipated.
What remained was more dread towards Aoyama Ryūun, fearing that Aoyama Ryūun would threaten his position as Hokage.
If Aoyama Ryūun really ascended to the position of Fourth Hokage...
It wasn't hard to see that if Sarutobi Hiruzen refused to let go of the Hokage's power, Aoyama Ryūun might just blast him with a punch.
After all, that is the Strongest Creature who even dares to beat up Konoha Elders.
Why would he care about a former Hokage?
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's reaction, Shimura Danzō and the others on the side all smiled faintly.
Anyway, as long as they could cause some trouble for Aoyama Ryūun, they were happy.
At this moment, an Anbu figure used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Lord Hokage!"
In the Anbu's hand was a scroll.
"Hmm?"
Did a problem arise on the battlefield?
putting away his internal schemes for the moment, he took the scroll handed by the Anbu and read it confidently.
"Impossible!"
His originally calm face turned into one of astonishment immediately upon seeing the contents of the scroll.
This reaction startled Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Shimura Danzō.
"What happened? Which battlefield failed?"
"It's more serious than that!"
Putting down the scroll in his hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke distractedly.
"What on earth happened?"
More serious than that? What is the situation?
"Kirigakure has declared war on Konoha!"
It was somewhat unbelievable, but the facts were right in front of him. Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with a complex expression.
"What!"
Danzō and the others, who were originally calm, immediately became horrified.
Kirigakure declared war on Konoha? What kind of situation is this!
Unable to sit still, Danzō and the others immediately snatched the scroll from Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands and read it carefully, not missing a single word.
A few minutes later, the Konoha F4 were all silent.
"Not only have they declared war, but Kirigakure has already gathered four thousand ninjas and entered the territory of the Land of Fire!"
Because of the Ninja World War, the ninjas responsible for guarding the Kirigakure side had all been transferred away.
The Kirigakure ninjas faced no obstacles whatsoever and entered the Land of Fire directly.
Looking at it this way, it wouldn't take long for them to reach Konoha.
"No! Absolutely not!"
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were panicked.
They cared about their precious Elder positions.
But if Konoha Village was gone, where would there be Konoha Elders?
"Saying 'no' is useless, think of a solution!"
The irritable Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table directly.
He looked at the uneasy Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
Listening to their chattering—if you know something big and bad has happened, then come up with a solution!
"..."
Asking them to tyrannize and abuse power was fine.
But if it came to planning strategy for Konoha, it was truly difficult for them.
