"A two-year-old child?"
Orochimaru couldn't help but hold his forehead. Why did he choose such an unpromising summoning beast?
"Orochimaru, fearing death due to the loss of both parents, later obtained an opportunity through a shed snakeskin, becoming an immortal ninja proficient in cursed seals and the Body Replacement Jutsu." With each sentence Aoi Ren spoke, Orochimaru's expression changed.
By the time Aoi Ren finished his "menu" of information, Orochimaru's pale snake face had turned ashen.
"Who exactly are you? What do you want?"
"No, no, no, Orochimaru, you always get the priorities wrong." Aoi Ren grinned: "It's not what I want, but what do you want!?"
"What do I want?"
"To destroy Konoha, to kill the Third Hokage. What is your goal?" Aoi Ren chuckled and shook his head: "Don't tell me it's for revenge!"
"You're not that narrow-minded. Everything you've done is simply for eternal life!"
Orochimaru's snake pupils widened abruptly. He realized that Aoi Ren's understanding of him was bone-deep, as if he could even discern his thoughts!
"Don't be surprised, I watched you grow up!"
A three-year-old infant said this to an old man with a serious expression, which was both comical and eerie...
However, Orochimaru believed that what Aoi Ren said was not false!
"I want Konoha's secret jutsu!" Orochimaru gritted his teeth: "I've never regretted defecting from Konoha. I only resent that the Third Hokage prevented me from studying those wonderful forbidden jutsu!"
As expected!
If it were just to kill the Third Hokage, Orochimaru wouldn't have gone to such lengths. Only the secret jutsu for eternal life could make him stop.
"Very well, I will give you this opportunity!"
Aoi Ren narrowed his eyes: "Within these few days, Konoha will be destroyed. A large number of Konoha ninjas will be drawn away by the joint exercises of the Hidden Waterfall Village. At that time, only Tsunade will be left in the entire Konoha..."
As he said this, Aoi Ren grinned: "You wouldn't even be able to defeat Tsunade, would you..."
Among the Sannin, Tsunade undoubtedly had the weakest apparent strength on paper. As for betraying his own wife, Aoi Ren felt that apart from the perfect young Tsunade, any Tsunade who had been tainted or peeked at by Jiraiya was just a passerby...
Orochimaru grinned sinisterly: "I'll handle her!"
"If that's the case, then I'll see you then!"
Aoi Ren waved goodbye to Orochimaru with a smile and left Ryūchi Cave...
In the following days, the plot unfolded as usual. The relationship between Naruto and old man Gennō grew stronger. However, at this time, ANBU had already set their sights on him. Old man Gennō's deliberate actions were for someone who didn't have much time left. The treasure hunt game with Naruto was his most important endeavor!
However...
Aoi Ren stood on the Hokage Rock and roughly threw nearly a hundred explosive tags inside.
Although he didn't know which of Gennō's explosive tags had been replaced with inferior ones, Aoi Ren figured that a little spark would be enough. In Konoha village, smoke slowly rose, and the plot officially began to move forward...
In the Forest of Konoha, old man Gennō was captured by ANBU. He faked his death through self-detonation and hid in the Hokage Rock through an underground tunnel. Finally, he succumbed to exhaustion during the treasure hunt and died of illness!
But this time, old man Gennō wouldn't be so lucky...
"Who is it!?"
Inside the dark Hokage Rock, Gennō's eyes widened in terror. He never imagined that there was someone hiding in the hiding place he had chosen!
"Uncle Gennō, long time no see. Have you changed your look?" Aoi Ren walked out of the shadows with a smile...
"It's you!" Gennō's eyes widened in fear. This child always gave him a very strange feeling.
"What do you want?"
"I should be asking you that, Uncle Gennō. The village and the explosive tags in the Hokage Rock were all your doing, weren't they, Master of Mechanisms Gennō!" Aoi Ren reprimanded softly, startling Gennō.
However, with that soft reprimand, a giant snake from the shadows swallowed him in one bite...
Gennō is dead!
But the story no longer needed him...
The incident continued to escalate. The missing building blueprints and Gennō's acting led Tsunade, just like in the plot, to issue a state of alert, dispatching almost all the ninjas in the village to defend the borders.
Meanwhile, Naruto, Shikamaru, and the others continued to investigate the truth behind Gennō...
Soon, Naruto and his group discovered that Gennō had not died in the Forest of Konoha. The corpse was just a fake prepared by Gennō in advance. Later, they discovered that the blueprints for the Ninja Academy were missing. After reporting to Tsunade, the investigation of the Ninja Academy began!
If nothing unexpected happened, the short-circuited detonator would never have caused an explosion, but...
"If you want to obtain the Scroll of Seals, you must make a sacrifice!" Aoi Ren grinned: The space-time kunai accurately pierced the wooden post, detonating the tens of thousands of explosive tags that Gennō had laid out over the decades.
"Boom!"
The entire Konoha rumbled, as if a thousand cannons were simultaneously playing a funeral dirge. More than half of Konoha turned into rubble...
The Ninja Academy, the source of the explosive tags, collapsed completely. However, it was too wishful thinking to kill Naruto with this; even the Twelve Rookie Ninjas wouldn't be injured. Naruto burst out of the ruins, looking at the devastated Konoha, and clenched his fists in anger: "Grandpa Gennō, if you did all this, I will never forgive you!"
