Chapter 152: Chapter 147: Traitors

"I figured we would use this as an opportunity. What if, we release information that Danzo had forced Orochimaru to leave the Village by creating false information about the test subjects that were actually his? Orochimaru later discovered that the Third Hokage had fallen under the control of Danzo by the use of a powerful Genjutsu, so after he learned that Sunagakure was planning to attack the Village he grew up in, Orochimaru concocted a scheme to damage Suna, while also saving his Sensei from the control of Danzo. He even was able to contact the souls of the past Hokage to help him in his noble endeavor. After fully planning, he chose to ambush the Kazekage of Suna to ensure that he couldn't do even greater damage to the Village, ensuring that even in the worst-case scenario, Konoha could still stand. Once he finally came into battle with Lord Third, he realized the Genjutsu was far too potent to save his sensei, forcing him to sacrifice his arms in exchange for the life of his teacher, letting him send the man who was like his father off into the Pure Lands to rest in peace. It was after this that he came to speak about his hypothesis to the other 2 Sannins, though they arrested him as they misunderstood the situation. It was only after the raid on Danzo's base that we found the evidence that supported his claims, making Orochimaru just another innocent party in the schemes of an evil old man." Tsuna finished, and both Tsunade and Shizune's mouths were left gaping open after hearing the nonsense she spoke.
