Chapter 380: The Awe of Konoha Ninja
When the battle in Konohagakure was in full swing, an uninvited guest arrived at the Hokage Building.

After losing the Third Hokage and the elite Anbu, Obito didn't spend much time sneaking into the Hokage Building and into the room where the Book of Seales was stored.

His goal is the forbidden technique in the Sealed Book, which can allow the dead to return from the Pure Land and be reborn into the Impure World.

Before witnessing Byakuya fighting with the First and Second Hokage, Obito was skeptical about the power of the Impure World Reincarnation technique. He did not think that the Impure World Reincarnation technique could pose much of a threat to the ninjas of the modern world.

But after seeing the strength of the first and second generation Hokage, Obito finally made up his mind.

He wants to resurrect Uchiha Madara and let him deal with Byakuya, who has become too powerful to be eliminated, and realize the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan to bring permanent peace to the ninja world.

After entering the secret room, Obito opened the Book of Seals and triggered the barrier that remained in place.

After using Hollowization to avoid the barrier attack, Obito successfully obtained the Book of Seales and saw the records of the Impure World Reincarnation technique on it.

The principle of Impure World Reincarnation is very simple, it is to use the flesh and blood of the deceased as a medium to communicate with the Pure Land.

The souls of the strong ones staying in the Pure Land will be summoned to the Ninja World, and they will descend into special containers. Depending on the quality of the containers, they will exert different strengths.

For Obito, finding such a container was not difficult.

White Zetsu is the best carrier of the Impure World Reincarnation Body. Using Byakuya as a container can maximize the power of the Impure World Reincarnation Body.

Next, all he needs to do is find Madara’s body to revive him.

The only trouble was that Madara had told him that he did not want to be resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation method. What Madara wanted was a young body so that Nagato could use the Rinnegan Technique to complete the resurrection.

Gathering his thoughts which were gradually dispersing, Obito left the Hokage Building.

Before leaving, he looked in the direction of Bai Ye and left a meaningful look. If today's stage belonged to Bai Ye, he would not participate too much.

But this is Bai Ye's last performance on stage. As long as Uchiha Madara can be resurrected, everything will be fine, and the status between him and Bai Ye will be reversed.

……

As time went on, more and more ninjas withdrew from combat and focused on fighting in the arena.

Among them are the Konoha defense forces led by Jiraiya, and the Sand Village forces led by Scorpion. With more and more people paying attention, Orochimaru is becoming more and more panicked.

After the first and second generation's Impure World Forms were defeated again, Orochimaru considered leaving.

He first asked the first generation Hokage to perform the dark stealth technique, and then took advantage of the cover of darkness to escape into the jungle. Before leaving, he did not forget to give the order to the first and second generations to continue fighting.

After the Dark Stealth Technique ended, Jiraiya, who came to support, arrived in the arena.

They instantly came to Bai Ye and asked him, "Bai Ye, do you need help? I see that you are having a hard time dealing with the First and Second Hokage by yourself."

Bai Ye showed a trace of fatigue and said unhappily: "Brother Jiraiya, don't you know the strength of the first and second generation Hokage? If they were not in the state of Impure World Reincarnation, I would have been defeated long ago."

Bai Ye's complaints left Jiraiya speechless.

Leaving aside the second generation Hokage, the first generation Hokage was indeed indisputably powerful back then, otherwise he would not have been able to end the Warring States Period on his own and usher in the ninja world into the era of one country, one village.

The fact that Bai Ye was able to fight with two Hokage for such a long time is already a testament to his strength.

After a pause, Bai Ye continued, "By the way, brother Jiraiya, do you know what ninjutsu Orochimaru uses? I have defeated your two Hokage many times, but they always recover quickly. What method can be used to make them disappear?"

Jiraiya glanced at Bai Ye and said:
"If I'm not mistaken, Orochimaru should be using the Impure World Reincarnation Technique. The ninjas who are reincarnated by the Impure World Reincarnation have unlimited chakra and the ability to heal quickly. Unless you use the sealing technique, there is no way to defeat them."

Bai Ye couldn't help but frowned: "How did such an evil ninjutsu appear?"

Hearing this, Jiraiya's face became a little embarrassed, and he pointed at the Second Hokage not far away. The Second Hokage's face became even uglier, but because of the restrictions of Orochimaru, he could not speak.

"So you're Konoha's Second Hokage. That's fine."

Bai Ye showed a matter-of-fact expression, and then said: "I have heard about the Thousand-armed Demon Tobirama before. He is a mad scientist who is no less than Orochimaru."

Faced with Bai Ye's slander against Senju Tobirama, the Konoha ninjas present should be outraged.

But what Bai Ye said was true. Although Senju Tobirama invented the ninja school system and made the ninja village more stable, he did whatever it took when it came to experiments.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye said to Jiraiya: "Brother Jiraiya, you take the Konoha ninja to deal with the Second Hokage, and leave the seal of the First Hokage to me."

Jiraiya nodded and led the Konoha ninjas towards the Second Hokage.

With the help of Konoha's Sealing Class and the older generation Ino-Shika-Chou, they quickly controlled the Second Hokage. The Second Hokage looked at the younger generations who had restrained him, and a look of relief flashed in his eyes.

Konoha after his death was not completely useless, there were still some powerful ninjas.

Bai Ye used physical skills to approach the First Hokage, and then used the Diamond Seal. Golden chains flew towards the First Hokage, restricting his movements.

Just as the first Hokage was preparing to counterattack, Orochimaru, who had already escaped from Konoha, canceled the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.

As the technique was lifted, the bodies of the First and Second Hokage began to gradually collapse, and their souls gradually flew high into the sky, heading for the Pure Land World.

At this moment, the Second Hokage stretched out his finger, intending to use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to stay in the Ninja World.

This is a backdoor for developers. The ninja who is being resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation only needs to use the corresponding ninjutsu when the caster cancels the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and he can forcibly stay in the ninja world and become a free Impure World Body.

The First Hokage noticed the Second Hokage's actions and said to him, "Tobirama, give up using that jutsu. We are already dead and should not interfere in the affairs of the ninja world."

The Second Hokage said rather dissatisfiedly: "But there are still many things in the Ninja World that need to be dealt with. That Orochimaru and the Uchiha who goes by the name of Uchiha Madara all need us to deal with."

The first Hokage sighed, and then said: "I know that Konoha Village is in trouble, but if we help once, there will be a second time. Konoha cannot live under our protection forever."

"If the line between life and death remains blurred forever, the ninja world will be in chaos."

The Second Hokage could still question the First Hokage at normal times, but at critical moments he would always listen to the First Hokage's opinions. This is why he is the Second Hokage, not the First Hokage.

Before the First Hokage's Impure World Body was about to disappear, he glanced at Bai Ye with a complicated look.

Bai Ye also noticed the expression of the First Hokage. He did not say much, but watched the First and Second Hokage disappear in the Ninja World. After solving the troubles of the First and Second Hokage, the Konoha Ninja School present heaved a sigh of relief.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Bai Ye was full of awe.

The previous Konoha ninjas knew that Byakuya was very strong and was a powerful ninja with the ability to be a Hokage, but seeing is believing. Only after truly witnessing Byakuya's strength could they understand how powerful he was.

They had spent a lot of effort over the years to barely seal the Second Hokage, but Bai Ye was able to hold out for so long with the combined efforts of the two, and even launched a certain degree of counterattack.

After defeating the first and second generation Impure World Forms, Scorpion also stabilized the runaway Gaara.

When it comes to dealing with Shukaku, Scorpion has never lacked experience. After removing the illusion on Gaara, Shukaku naturally returned to Gaara's body.

At this time, Jiraiya and others suddenly thought of something and asked Bai Ye: "Bai Ye, where did the Hokage go?"

Logically speaking, the Hokage would definitely show up in an event as big as an attack on the village.

Bai Ye also looked puzzled. He looked at Jiraiya and said, "Didn't the Hokage ask you to come over for support? Didn't you see the Hokage?"

Hearing this, Jiraiya and the Ino-Shika-Chou Jonin looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

They have had complaints about the Third Hokage because of the various policies he issued over the years, but this is only a political disagreement and they still believe in the Third Hokage.

But the current situation is that the village's external enemies have been eliminated, but the Third Hokage is missing.

Could it be that Orochimaru's original target was not the village, but the Third Hokage? These actions were just a cover-up, with the purpose of taking advantage of the opportunity to kill the Third Hokage.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya ordered the surrounding ninjas to find the Sandaime.

The village had already lost a Hokage more than ten years ago, and the village could not allow itself to lose another one because of the chaos brought about by Orochimaru.

Just then, Shisui arrived here with the Root Ninja.

After seeing Shisui's bandaged figure, several people couldn't help but frown, their hearts filled with disgust towards Danzo and the Root.

The Root has always had a bad reputation in Konoha, although it has improved in recent years.

But deep-rooted stereotypes are not so easy to change, and the fact that the Root is late this time makes them somewhat dissatisfied with Danzo and the Root.

Shisui ignored the strange looks, walked up to Jiraiya and said, "We just encountered Orochimaru's elite troops, so it took some time. Did you guys capture Orochimaru?"

The Konoha ninja present shook their heads.

Seeing the expressions of these people, Shisui frowned and said, "He can't even take down little Orochimaru. It seems that Sarutobi is really old. He is so old, why is he unwilling to abdicate?"

Shisui's words fell into the ears of every Konoha ninja, but none of them said anything.

Jiraiya held back and said, "Elder Danzo, you are getting old. When will you give up the Root Organization and retire from the Hokage Building?"

Shisui said with an embarrassed look: "There is no rush for this. I can still continue to shine for Konoha. I think I am still very young."

After a few words of quarreling with each other, the Konoha ninjas present began to clean up the battlefield and look for the whereabouts of the Third Hokage.

Shisui was responsible for replacing the Third Hokage and accompanying the distinguished guests, Byakuya and Scorpion of the Red Sand. They started a small meeting in the reception room.

As a spy of Akatsuki infiltrating Konoha, Shisui began to report the achievements in recent years.

After completing the reform of the Root, the influence of the Root on Konoha has reached every aspect of life. It has become a towering tree rooted in Konoha.

Just a few minutes ago, Shisui and Kushina defeated the Third Hokage together.

After reporting the problem, Shisui turned to Bai Ye and asked, "Master Bai Ye, do you have any instructions next? Do you have any suggestions for the selection of Hokage?"

Bai Ye glanced at Shisui and said:

"I have no interest in the next Hokage, but I promised Kushina that his son Naruto would be the next Hokage. You can decide for yourself who will be the Fifth Hokage."

"Do you want to be the Hokage yourself, or can you let someone else be the Hokage?"

"Hasn't it always been your dream to become Hokage? It wouldn't be bad to achieve it as Danzo."

Shisui shook his head: "Forget about me becoming the Hokage. The responsibility of the Hokage is too heavy. I simply don't have the ability to bear it. Not to mention the others, they don't have the ability either."

Bai Ye smiled and asked, "So, the Hokage can only choose between Tsunade and Jiraiya? Does the Hyuga clan have any idea about the Hokage?"

Shisui shook his head again and said:
"The Hyuga clan has no energy to run for Hokage. As per your instructions, I have been working with Hyuga Hizashi over the years to help him suppress the main family and abolish the caged bird system."

"It is estimated that more than ten years ago, there were no caged birds in the Hyuga clan."

At this time, Scorpion, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Why don't you let Gaara be the Hokage? Anyway, you Konoha doesn't have any good candidates for Hokage."

Halfway through his speech, Scorpion felt that it was a bit ridiculous, and then he said:

"My real idea is to let Lord Byakuya be the Hokage. Lord Byakuya, aren't you a descendant of the Senju and Uzumaki? As long as you join Konoha, you can become the Hokage."

Bai Ye glanced at the Red Sand Scorpion, and his eyes said it all.

After forcibly ending the topic, Bai Ye suddenly realized something and looked in the direction of the Hokage Building.

The barrier that he had casually left on the secret room's barrier seemed to have been broken, indicating that someone had directly taken the sealed book away.

Who took away the sealing technique? Was it Black Zetsu or Obito?

Without thinking any more, Bai Ye said, "Let's stop talking about the Hokage for now and talk about the next plan."

"At present, we already control the three major ninja villages of Konoha, Sand Village, and Kirigakure. Next, as long as we control Iwagakure and Kumogakure, we can establish the Ninja World Alliance and let the entire Ninja World enter a comprehensive peace period."

"Do you two have any good suggestions on how to deal with Iwagakure and Kumogakure?"
