Chapter 145 If Only You Were Here
After the meeting, the Third Hokage stayed alone in the Hokage's room.
Looking at the images of fire from different dynasties on the wall.
The third generation remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, the door to the Hokage's office was opened.
Mitarashi Anko walked in.
I looked at images of fire from different dynasties.
He exclaimed, "Lord Hokage, I'm so sorry!"
Hongdou truly felt guilty.
She felt she had let the village down by not dying alongside Orochimaru.
The Third Hokage sighed and said, "You mean you didn't die together with Orochimaru in the Forest of Death?"
"Red Bean, you have nothing to do with Orochimaru anymore, so there's no need to feel guilty."
Hongdou was stunned for a moment.
"However, if Orochimaru appears, he will definitely start a war against the village."
The third generation said helplessly, "I know that, but there's nothing I can do. No one in the village can stop him now, not even me."
At this point, the Third Hokage felt that he was already old and his fighting ability had definitely declined significantly.
Moreover, Orochimaru has been a defector for many years, so he doesn't know just how powerful Orochimaru is now.
Red Bean looked up at the picture of the Fourth Hokage on the wall.
He sighed, "If only the Fourth Hokage were still alive."
Although the Fourth Hokage did not have the same prestige as the Third Hokage, his strength was widely recognized.
After all, it was because of him that Konoha was able to win the Third Shinobi World War.
It can almost be said that Konoha's victory in the Third Shinobi World War was largely due to the strength of the Fourth Hokage.
Anko believes that if the Fourth Hokage were still alive, Orochimaru could stop Orochimaru.
The Third Hokage shook his head and said bitterly, "The Fourth Hokage has already sacrificed himself for the village. He has already sacrificed a lot for the village."
"And that was thirteen years ago."
For a moment, the Hokage's room fell into a long silence.
After a long while, the Third Generation thought of Yoru, who was still out on a mission.
He smiled wryly and said, "If he were here, he might have been able to stop it, but it just happened to be such a coincidence."
The three generations of the Hokage suspected that Orochimaru had deliberately chosen a time when Yoru was not in the village to attack it.
Although the Third Hokage didn't know much about Yoru's current strength, Yoru was able to easily kill Raiga Kurosuki, suppress the rampaging Naruto, and even master various powerful sealing techniques and the Flying Thunder God Technique. He also possessed the powerful Rasengan and Chidori.
He already possesses Kage-level strength.
If he were in the village, he might indeed be able to stop Orochimaru.
Anko, standing behind the Third Hokage, listened to his mutterings and asked with some confusion, "Who is the Hokage talking about?"
She didn't know much about Ye Yu.
When Yoru became a Chunin, the people who paid the most attention were actually the ninjas from various clans.
But Hongdou's mind wasn't on these things.
So she never knew that there was a Yoru in Konoha.
After all, the matter of Yoru was only circulating among those who knew Kakashi or among the higher-ups in Konoha.
The third generation clearly didn't want to explain too much.
He only vaguely said, "If he were here, I guarantee Orochimaru wouldn't have succeeded."
Red Bean frowned, unsure who the "third generation" was referring to.
Are you referring to Jiraiya-sama?
After thinking for a long time, all that came to mind was Jiraiya.
After all, the only ones who could stop the Sannin were the other two among them.
The Third Hokage didn't name names, but simply said, "Anko, go back now. Remember, you have nothing to do with Orochimaru, so don't feel guilty."
The Third Hokage didn't want Anko to always feel guilty because of her relationship with Orochimaru.
Hongdou kept wondering, who exactly was the person that the Third Generation was talking about?
But she really had no clue what to do.
But the Third Hokage clearly didn't want to talk about it, so Anko had no choice but to leave the Hokage's room.
After Anko left, the Third Generation looked at the portrait on the wall.
"I really wanted to see you become Hokage, but I'm afraid that's no longer the chance."
The Third Hokage stood up and picked up the Hokage's hat.
He has decided to take matters into his own hands and stop Orochimaru from destroying the village.
The reason why the Third Hokage thought he was going to die was because he knew Orochimaru's strength and also knew his own physical condition at that time.
He's not as strong as he was when he was younger.
He wasn't confident he could defeat Orochimaru.
But right now, he's the only one in Konoha who's most likely to stop Orochimaru.
He has to step up.
After the meeting, the Jonin of Konoha were all in low spirits.
After all, their opponent was Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, and they had heard of the Legendary Sannin since they were young.
They didn't know how to stop it.
At Konoha Hospital.
Kakashi arrived at Sasuke's hospital room.
Kakashi was very worried when he saw that Sasuke had not yet woken up.
"I don't know if my seal will work. If Ye Yu were here, he could definitely break that curse mark."
Yoru had no idea that he was already so reliable in the eyes of Kakashi and the Third Hokage.
Even at times like these, they are seen as the only hope.
If Kakashi and the Third Hokage knew that Yoru felt he only had the strength of an elite Jonin at this point, they would probably be shocked.
After staying in the ward for a while, I ran into Sakura and Naruto who came to the hospital to see Sasuke.
The three of them were much closer than before.
Sakura had already explained her relationship to Sasuke, and Naruto knew about it, even though he was very reluctant to accept it.
But seeing Sakura's happy face, he had no choice but to accept it.
However, it was precisely because he accepted it that he became even more aware of the boundaries in the relationship between the three of them.
Therefore, we don't have as many reservations when we get along.
Moreover, because of Yoru, Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto are much stronger now than they were at this time in the original story.
At this point, Sasuke's strength had approached that of a Jonin, or rather, reached the level of a Special Jonin.
Sakura, on the other hand, has already reached the level of a typical Chunin.
Naruto possesses the strength of an elite Chunin, and if he performs well, he can reach the level of a Special Jonin.
This is without considering his berserk state. A berserk Naruto can reach Kage-level destructive power and Jonin-level combat strength.
However, thanks to Yoru's seal, the risk of Naruto going berserk has been greatly reduced.
Even with such power, the three of them were still completely overwhelmed by Orochimaru.
This is quite normal, after all, even Kakashi, an elite Jonin, couldn't put up a fight against Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's murderous aura alone was enough to make Kakashi feel like he had been killed several times over.
The two saw Kakashi as soon as they entered.
"Kakashi-sensei, when will you teach me martial arts?"
As soon as Naruto saw Kakashi, he came up to him and asked.
Sakura went to Sasuke's bedside and looked at the unconscious Sasuke with heartache.
Kakashi leaned against the windowsill and said calmly, "Let's talk about it after Sasuke wakes up."
Naruto looked at Sasuke on the bed and fell silent.
After a long while, Naruto lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Kakashi-sensei, is that Orochimaru very strong? Even Sasuke is no match for him."
Although Naruto wouldn't admit it, he knew very well that Sasuke was the strongest of the three.
Even after he mastered the Rasengan, he still couldn't defeat Sasuke.
Because Yoru gave Sasuke many methods for training his Sharingan, and Sasuke trusted Yoru completely.
I will diligently follow the methods Ye Yu gave me to cultivate.
This resulted in his pupil power being far stronger than it was during this period in the original work.
In addition, Ye Yu encouraged him to focus on training the Instantaneous Movement Technique.
Therefore, among the three, Sasuke is definitely the strongest right now.
Despite his immense strength, Sasuke was instantly defeated by Orochimaru.
Naruto wasn't there at the time, so he didn't quite believe it.
Even though he could see Sasuke suffering terribly from the cursed seal, he still hated Orochimaru.
