Gawain's low-key return did not change the situation in the ninja world.

The economic collapse that Suna Ninja Village faced since the end of World War III still exists, and has become more serious as time goes by.

On the evening of the evening, when the Sand Ninja Village was defeated again and again, even the third Kazekage disappeared inexplicably.

Rasa, the newly appointed Fourth Hokage of the Sand Ninja, has already taken the initiative to bear on himself the decades of humiliation that this Ninja Village has suffered in the past!

He allowed his son to bear the consequences of sealing Shukaku Ichibi, and allowed his son to take the initiative to indulge in the pain of being unable to sleep.

He himself used the Magnetic Release Ninjutsu day and night to extract sand iron and sand gold to barely maintain Suna Ninja Village's finances, vigorously develop Suna Ninja Village's puppet policy, and strengthen Suna Ninja Village's national power.

He did not give any special treatment to his sons and daughters, but gave his sons and daughters the treatment of every ninja in Sand Ninja Village, so that all the people in Sand Ninja Village lived the same as his children.

He even caused endless pain to his youngest son, the weapon that sealed Shukaku!

He severed any ties that existed in his son's heart.

He cut off any emotion that existed in his son.

All for the rise of Sand Ninja!

Just like the ancestors of the pre-Qin Dynasty, they would always recite the words of the First Emperor at night when he was about to fall asleep and in the early morning when he was sleeping soundly.

Ying Zheng, have you forgotten the dream of unifying all countries?

Luo Sha, do you remember to lead the sand ninjas to rise again!

Let Sand Ninja truly become great!

This is what Luo Sha demands of himself, and he does the same.

After the three ninja wars ended and the third Kazekage died.

He's always done this.

And until now….

He finally found a breakthrough and an opportunity for the Sand Ninja to rise again!

Not long ago, a guest from Konoha found him privately.

That person brought goodwill from Danzo.

At the same time, Orochimaru, the most famous rebellious ninja in Konoha Village who was sentenced to death in Konoha Village in the past, is now the leader of Oto Ninja Village and one of the three people, also came to the door!

Their purpose is very clear, that is... to bring a collapse plan to Konoha that will cause huge damage!

And this plan also gave Luo Sha the hope of Sand Ninja.

At first, Luo Sha suspected that this might be some kind of conspiracy by Konoha?

But later, Luo Sha gradually believed both of them.

Although their plan was called the Konoha Collapse Plan, they all knew that Konoha could not completely collapse in a single attack.

Neither Orochimaru nor Danzo want Konoha to collapse completely.

Even... Luo Sha is the person who least wants that!

Rosa knew very well that once Konoha completely collapsed, the situation in the Ninja world would inevitably be in chaos, and the Fourth World War would inevitably start again.

In such a war, Suna Ninja Village, which has always been in a state of paying reparations and whose national power has never grown, has no way to win more in the war.

The collapse of Konoha at this time will indeed free Suna Ninja Village from 80% of the war reparations.

But as the Cloud Ninja Village and Iwa Ninja Village grow in size, the Sand Ninja Village may simply fall into hell.

So, be it Rasa, Danzo, or Orochimaru.

After many discussions, the three of them unified their demands.

What Danzo wants is the position of the next generation of Hokage. For this position, Danzo is willing to weaken the interests of Konoha Village and give up at least 50% of the mission share that Konoha currently holds.

In addition, in the future, Konoha under Danzo's control will also regularly provide support funds for so-called relief materials to the Sound Ninja Village and Suna Ninja Village.

At the same time, while the Sound Ninja Village shares the task share with the Suna Ninja Village and increases the income of their respective villages, they can also establish a combined Suna Ninja Village through this cooperation. The Sound Ninja Village and the future will be controlled by Danzo.

A strong alliance including the three members of the Leaf Village.

In this proposal, Luo Sha longed for the Sand Ninja Village to get rid of the endless compensation and gain the opportunity to rise.

What Orochimaru desires is the expansion of the Oto Ninja Village and more experimental funds.

What Danzo longs for is what he has been dreaming about for decades, and during this period he even assassinated the Third Hokage more than once in an attempt to take... the position of Hokage!

And in this alliance, each of them believed that the people they formed an alliance with had the demands they had mentioned.

But it doesn’t matter whether it’s Danzo or Rasa.

How could politicians and conspirators like them understand a scientist like Orochimaru?

They thought Orochimaru was out for revenge, or perhaps for experimental funds.

But at this moment, when Orochimaru, Danzo and Rasa signed a contract together, and then returned to the Sound Ninja Village.

Looking at the experimental equipment in front of him, Orochimaru did not continue to start the experiment.

He just stood there silently, not knowing what to remember.

After a long time, Orochimaru sighed leisurely.

"Teacher, if a ninja like you dies on the hospital bed.

That would be really ugly.”

After saying that, Orochimaru pursed his lips and smiled, and gently licked his tongue around his lips.

That's right, compared to Danzo and Rasa, who are common people and trash in Orochimaru's eyes.

Orochimaru doesn't care about plans to collapse Konoha.

The reason why after the three Ninja World Wars, even if the Nine-Tails Rebellion occurred in Konoha Village, and even if Konoha Village lost the Uchiha family, the Ninja World did not take advantage of this time to launch the Fourth Ninja World War to annex Konoha.

Interests.

It's because he, Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya, the three so-called Sannin, are still active in the ninja world.

What if Konoha Village collapses?

As long as there is some sign of the Sannin reuniting, or only Jiraiya and Tsunade will take over the village again.

In terms of hard power, Konoha Village is still stronger than the Sand Ninja and Mist Ninja, and can still maintain a three-legged confrontation with the Rock Ninja Kumo Ninja!

This is the reason why the four ninja wars have not started yet.

As for now….

The reason why he set off this so-called Konoha Collapse Plan was that Orochimaru didn't really want to destroy the Konoha Village that raised him from a war orphan to become the deputy squad leader of the Jonin class and the commander-in-chief of the war zone.

He just wanted to use his identity as a disciple to give his teacher... a more glorious ending.

His teacher was a powerful ninja who was once called the God of Ninja in the ninja world. Orochimaru could kill the Fourth Kazekage with one move without Rasa's attention.

And when his teacher was at his peak, he could also kill him at his peak with one move.

How could such a great ninja die on his bed without mercy?

I must let such a teacher end up in the war with the enemies of Konoha with glory, so that the glory of the teacher's life can be even more glorious in the hearts of Konoha's future children...

As for the next generation, who is the fifth generation of Konoha Hokage?

Haha, it's definitely not the Danzo who saw the ghost anyway.

As Hiruzen's disciples, how could they like Danzo?

As for whether it will be Jiraiya, the fool, or Tsunade, the bitch?

Or is it Gawain, who has suddenly emerged in Konoha Village recently and is constantly being cursed by Danzo?

Orochimaru had heard information about Gawain from Danzo, about his legendary ancestor, the ancestor of the Sage of Six Paths, and so on.

But how could Orochimaru believe that?

Instead of believing that Gawain was his ancestor, Orochimaru believed that it was the last gift left by his teacher for Konoha!

Because in Orochimaru's view, if the other party is really some kind of ancestor, he has a power that is so powerful that it cannot be resisted.

Then why would he let someone like Danzo mess around in the corner?

Why does Danzo have him?

Did you just go over and help him get the wooden arm and the transplanted Sharingan?

Is he worthy of Danzo?

…

…

…

Not to mention Orochimaru's thoughts at this time, in the current Konoha Village.

Kakashi took Naruto and the three of them to the Land of Waves to build a bridge.
