Takemi was still wondering what was going on.
Meanwhile, in the forest at the edge of Konoha, the Akatsuki members and Orochimaru looked at Danzo, who had died with his eyes wide open, and felt satisfied.
He's finally dead!
"He was a troublesome fellow."
They recalled the battle just now, they had an absolute advantage and abundant intelligence.
However, dealing with someone like Danzo was not easy, especially when trying to avoid shattering him.
"But in the end, there was still some gain."
Nagato and the others were very satisfied with the current situation, but Obito's expression was exceptionally grim.
"That damn bastard, he actually… he actually…"
Danzo's arm was covered in Sharingan, and to preserve these Sharingan, he naturally chose the safest method.
He found a suitable opportunity and severed Danzo's arm.
However, Danzo seemed to know his end was near, so he feigned activating 'Reverse Four Symbols Sealing' to seal everyone.
He really wanted to do it, but Orochimaru saw through it and countered. But this also bought him a little time, allowing him to do the last thing he wanted to do.
Destroy Shisui's eyes, he would absolutely not leave them to Obito.
Obito was so angry that his hands were trembling, but he could only swallow his anger now.
"Now, it's time to divide the spoils of war, isn't it?"
Obito was seething, but Kakuzu and Sasori were very happy. They had gotten what they wanted.
"But before that, it seems we still have something to deal with."
Although Sasori was excited, his gaze turned to Orochimaru.
"This rotten snake seems to have betrayed us, hasn't he?"
"Tsk tsk, are you sure you want to do that?"
Orochimaru licked his lips and chuckled hoarsely.
Nagato said, "He is temporarily cooperating with us now, I don't think he will cause trouble."
"Of course."
Orochimaru nodded. He had originally wanted to find helpers, but now it seemed there was no need.
"Although I don't know exactly what effect you want, our goals are consistent, and I can solve your current troubles."
"Oh? What troubles do you think we have now?"
Kakuzu looked at Orochimaru playfully and asked.
Orochimaru shook his head calmly and said, "You seem to need Danzo's body for something, like Sasori should be making a puppet, right?"
"Are you looking for death, rotten snake?" Sasori raised an eyebrow.
Orochimaru remained calm and said, "I am going to do something now, don't be nervous, it's good for all of us."
As he spoke, he moved to the side of a Root member who hadn't yet died, then formed hand signs.
The next moment, the Root Ninja let out a painful wail, and his body was instantly enveloped by endless paper type particles.
While the Akatsuki members were dealing with Danzo, he had been secretly collecting materials and making preliminary preparations.
He didn't mind performing hand signs for these guys to see. As long as they didn't understand the core, they couldn't replicate Edo Tensei.
Besides, what he was summoning now was merely a defective product.
"Ah!"
A painful wail sounded, and then, before the eyes of the Akatsuki members, that Root Ninja transformed into Danzo.
"This is…"
Danzo looked at the Akatsuki members and Orochimaru in front of him, and suddenly became confused.
He remembered that he had died in battle, so how was he alive again?
Could it be Izanagi?
"Die!"
Completely unaware of the situation, he let out a roar, seemingly still wanting to attack. But in an instant, he suddenly realized that his body couldn't move at all.
"This is…"
"This is your teacher, the Second Hokage's Jutsu."
Orochimaru licked his lips and spoke indifferently, which made Danzo's expression change drastically.
As a disciple of the Second Hokage, how could he not know?
However, Orochimaru had already turned to look at the Akatsuki members, who all had solemn expressions, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Let me introduce, Danzo, Konoha's Hokage Assistant. He has an organization that belongs to Anbu but operates independently, called Root."
"Root?"
"That's right, Danzo has done a lot of things with Root, and hidden within it there is not only ample supplies but also guaranteed safety."
At this point, Orochimaru paused, and he looked at Danzo meaningfully.
"And Danzo should know more about Konoha's deployments, which will make things easier for us!"
Orochimaru's words instantly changed the expressions of both Danzo and the Akatsuki members.
The Akatsuki members' faces showed a hint of excitement, while Danzo's face was filled with shock.
"Orochimaru, you deserve to die—"
Danzo, unable to hold back, finally cursed, but before he could finish, he was controlled by Orochimaru again.
"Quiet, you don't have a say now."
"How strong is he now?"
Suddenly, Obito asked in a low voice.
Orochimaru tilted his head and said, "Not very good, after all, he was summoned casually, so…"
"Then make him stronger." Obito stared at Danzo coldly, his fists slightly clenched.
"I am very curious, what will it be like for him, as the Hokage Assistant, to fight the real Third Hokage!"
Obito's words not only stunned Orochimaru but also bewildered Danzo.
Him?
Fighting Hiruzen?
"This plan is good, and it can also divert Konoha's attention, allowing us to act better."
Nagato suddenly nodded at this moment, seemingly very much in agreement with this idea.
"I also really want to see this scene."
Sasori also nodded. He had no good feelings for Konoha. He glanced at the corpses of the Root Ninja scattered on the ground.
"And we really need a safe place, there are a lot of materials here."
"I don't care."
Kakuzu had already obtained Danzo's heart and didn't care about these matters at all.
Orochimaru finally nodded decisively and said, "No problem, at least it's not a problem for me."
Danzo couldn't speak now, but his eyes were filled with despair. He had already seen Kakuzu dig out his heart, and now he saw Obito put away his arm, and his remaining crippled body was collected by Sasori.
Such horror made even him shudder.
And they also wanted to occupy his Root, control his soul to fight Hiruzen?
What kind of demons were these?!
"You… you…"
Danzo wanted to curse, but he couldn't make a sound. He could only look at Orochimaru and the Akatsuki members with endless resentment.
"I don't like your gaze."
Nagato seemed to notice something. He shook his head, his eyes full of indifference.
"Compared to everything you've done, what are we?"
"Didn't you force him to die by my hand back then?"
"Now, let you personally kill your good friend the Hokage, and destroy your own village…"
"Isn't this fair?"
