Chapter 402 - Chapter 215: Sarutobi Hiruzen Attends His Own Funeral

Root Base.

Senju Tobirama's questioning is somewhat unreasonable.

Using the dead in the Ninja World is not something special. Aren't these Hokages also deceased, yet still used by Akihara Kagura?

However.

Tonight Akihara Kagura is really busy.

In the laboratory of the Root Base, Akihara Kagura was incredibly busy, with Senju Tobirama taking the initiative to act as Akihara Kagura's assistant, wanting to observe the experiment of creating Double Bloodline Ninjas.

As a result...

Senju Tobirama saw Akihara Kagura order an Uchiha to lay on the lab table, directly pulling out a syringe and injecting Hashirama Cells into the body of an Uchiha.

"... "

Senju Tobirama's forehead twitched, feeling this experiment was truly absurd: "What a joke, the experiment isn't this simple. If according to your experimental technique, nurses at Konoha Hospital could conduct this experiment!"

Crack!

Wooden spikes grew from the body of the Uchiha on the experimental table!

Senju Tobirama's eyes suddenly froze. Why did this Uchiha show no signs of rejection and even directly awakened my brother's Wood Release?

"Hmm?"

Senju Tobirama immediately realized something, forming a hypothesis in his heart: "Senju and Uchiha... Is there some kind of bloodline connection?"

This matter...

Shook Senju Tobirama!

Senju Tobirama wasn't unaware of how his brother's cells had a powerful devouring force, never thought anyone could simply transplant his brother's cells!

Sharingan and Wood Release...

Uchiha and Senju...

According to basic biological principles, unless there's a possibility of close bloodline, there wouldn't be such easy experiment success!

Of course.

This is also Akihara Kagura's scientific technology.

After this experiment, there are a total of eighty-four Double Bloodline Ninjas in the Root, exactly the entire formation of the Dark Department, plus Yamanaka Fuu, Aburame Torune, Karin...

There's a serious overstaffing issue in the Root.

Theoretically, the Root should at most be equivalent to a squad of the Dark Department, but now the number of members has exceeded that of the Dark Department.

"Take them to get equipped."

Akihara Kagura ordered Karin, saying: "I estimate it won't be long before Lord Orochimaru has already caused trouble at the Memorial Stele, then someone from the Hokage Tower will come calling me over for a meeting..."

"Yes."

Karin nodded.

"Where's the Third Hokage's will?"

Akihara Kagura inquired about another critical matter.

"They have already returned."

Karin nodded again, continued reporting: "The Third Hokage and Fourth Hokage secretly placed their wills at his home, the Dark Department tidying up should soon discover it..."

Inside the Hokage Tower.

Actually, the two Hokage advisors haven't slept all night either.

Even though they are already old, they've stayed awake all night, continuously trying to persuade Jiraiya to accept the Hokage position.

However, Jiraiya was not willing to agree, first recommending his disciple Akihara Kagura, which was directly rejected by the two Hokage advisors.

Regardless of Jiraiya's persuasion, the two Hokage advisors rejected his proposal citing Akihara Kagura being too young, with a personality too extreme, needing more training.

Jiraiya had no choice but to bring up Tsunade's name.

"Tsunade?"

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura did approve of this candidate.

"If you can bring Tsunade back, she is a suitable successor... If Tsunade isn't found, you must take on the position of Fifth Hokage."

"Konoha is very chaotic now, there must be someone to take charge."

Utatane Koharu looked at Jiraiya, gently persuading: "Even though Akihara Kagura is Hokage Assistant, as you know his personality, now is not the time for him to take charge..."

"Kagura might not be incapable..."

Jiraiya was quite confident in his disciple, smiling as he reminded them: "At least with Kagura around, the Hidden Mist Village and The Hidden Sand Village wouldn't dare to make any major moves, right?"

"Power can only lead to submission, it cannot make people accept."

Utatane Koharu shook her head, sighing: "If Kagura could mature a bit, we would also be willing to go against Sarutobi's dying wish, promoting him to become the Fifth Hokage..."

"We'll talk after the old man's funeral!"

Jiraiya waved his hand, quite impatient with their persuasion.

But before they could conclude their discussion, Anbu Ninjas came to report a dire situation during the funeral arrangements at the Memorial Stele.

"Jiraiya-sama, Orochimaru..."

"Orochimaru suddenly appeared, dug up the Third Hokage's grave, and stole the Third Hokage's body. We simply couldn't keep up with him!"

"What?"

Jiraiya and the two Hokage advisors' faces suddenly changed.

Because they knew why Orochimaru took the Third Hokage's body, it was certainly to revive Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen to retaliate against Konoha.

"Orochimaru, that guy..."

Utatane Koharu was so angry she felt awful, trying hard to calm her chest: "If Orochimaru revives Sarutobi to combat Konoha..."

"Advisor-sama!"

An Anbu Ninja handed over a letter to the two Hokage advisors: "We found a will at the Third Hokage's home!"

"A will?"

Utatane Koharu received it, furrowed her brows: "Did Sarutobi plan for his death long ago? Looks like we'll see his last words in this will..."

This will is actually quite short.
