[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Danzo, you probably want me to lose, don't you!]
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't stand his good brother anymore. Is there no trust left between us? Fortunately, most of the Konoha Ninjas didn't disappoint him. This time, many Konoha Shinobi chose him.
See that, Danzo? I am the Hokage.
Orochimaru: I choose to perish together with them.
Just as everyone had finished making their choices, Orochimaru suddenly appeared and gave an answer that differed from everyone else's.
[Rasa: Orochimaru, are you hiding something? Why is your answer different from everyone else's?]
[Ding! Congratulations, Orochimaru, for answering correctly. Reward: Improved version of Impure World Reincarnation, and one subordinate from a parallel world.]
Orochimaru, now in the perfected version of Impure World Reincarnation Tensei, is aware of this, but what on earth is this subordinate from a future parallel world?
[Ding! Subordinates from the parallel world do not possess memories of the future, but they will carry their future personalities and loyalty to Orochimaru.]
Orochimaru gradually became interested as he read the explanation given by the Inventory System. The lack of memories of the future must be due to the inventory content. He was also unable to obtain some key information in the dungeon before, which was probably a limitation imposed by the system.
Sakon Kimimaro, Jugo, Jūgo, Ukon, Tayuya, Jirobo, Kidomaru, Mitsuki, Dosu, Jean (not the leader)]
At this moment, the Inventory System presented a list, seemingly requiring Orochimaru to select one from it. This stumped Orochimaru, as he couldn't possibly know the strength of these individuals based solely on their names.
The only ones Orochimaru remembered were the three Sound Ninja he encountered when he saved Sasuke. They didn't seem that strong. Wouldn't it be a huge loss if he had chosen one of them?
Well, when in doubt, just pick one. Kimimaro, the name sounds like he's from Kirigakure. I don't really remember the others.
[Orochimaru: I choose Kimimaro.]
It can only be said that Kimimaro is indeed the strongest among these individuals. His Kekkei Genkai, "Shikotsumyaku," allows him to freely manipulate osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and even control calcium concentration to form bones.
After Orochimaru made his choice, a young man with white hair and two red dots on his forehead appeared before Orochimaru.
Orochimaru took a liking to this body at first sight. Orochimaru did not expect that this subordinate possessed the Shikotsumyaku of Kirigakure, a Kekkei Genkai, and that his subordinate's Shikotsumyaku seemed to be different from the ordinary ones.
Furthermore, Kimimaro carries the Cursed Seal Cursed Seal of his future self, which will make Kimimaro stronger and cause his body to undergo unnatural changes, including a sudden transformation in appearance.
While those marked with the Cursed Seal can unleash tremendous power, they also forcibly draw out an unlimited amount of power, which can severely corrode the user, making it a double-edged sword.
Using this power will cause a physical transformation (Cursed Seal State 2). Kimimaro's State 2 will grow a tail, and its power is so great that it can shatter the sand that Gaara used to protect Rock Lee with a single blow.
Faced with a body full of research value, Orochimaru resisted the urge to abandon his research.
"So you are Kimimaro?" Orochimaru asked.
At this moment Kimimaro was not clear about what was going on. It was as if he had lost some memories, but the person in front of him gave him a sense of security and was very familiar with him.
"Lord Orochimaru," Kimimaro called out unconsciously.
Orochimaru then discovered that his subordinate possessed the skill level of Jonin, which was simply too perfect. However, Orochimaru was unaware that the side effects on Kimimaro's body had been eliminated; otherwise, he would probably have abandoned Sasuke and turned to his new love.
[Ōnoki: Orochimaru actually obtained the perfected version of that technique!]
At this moment, Ōnoki was still wary of Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation, after all, he didn't want to suddenly find that his ancestral graves had been dug up one day.
[Ōnoki: Hiruzen Sarutobi, what are you doing about your apprentice Orochimaru? @Hiruzen Sarutobi]
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also a little flustered. It was indeed inhumane for his disciple to rob a tomb. If people found out, everyone would condemn him, and Konoha would also be affected.
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: I will discipline Orochimaru strictly.]
[Rasa: Seriously? You just got beaten up by your own apprentice during the inventory. What guarantees do you have now?]
At this point, Orochimaru had no choice but to speak up for his teacher. After all, he really didn't have such thoughts now. The Inventory System had anything he wanted, so why should he risk his life and do such dangerous things?
Orochimaru, too lazy to explain further, took Kimimaro and began his research.
However, Obito's side suffered this time. He and Nawaki both chose the Second Hokage, resulting in both of them having 1,000 gold coins deducted. Obito was okay, but Nawaki is now penniless.
"You don't actually have a single gold coin?!" Obito realized he was about to be in deep trouble.
You are the only grandson of the First Hokage and Second Hokage, the current Hokage is your grandfather's Tsunade, Tsunade, one of the current Sannin, is your sister, Orochimaru, the Shinobi World scientist, is your master, and Orochimaru, the Toad Sage, might Jiraiya be your future brother-in-law.
You, the heir of the Senju Clan, and the second strongest living member of the Senju Clan (the first being Tsunade), surely can't even afford a thousand gold coins!
Nawaki showed him the facts: no, not a single penny. The Senju Clan's assets had long since been used to fund some casino.
What good is all that you're saying? I just respawned today, I don't even know what gold coins are.
I can only say I didn't know you dared to answer the question, you've got guts. But considering the huge number of amazing prefixes on his profile, Obito still lent him a thousand gold coins.
It wasn't because of Nawaki's enormous network of connections; he simply couldn't bear to see such a Kunai little boy being punished by the system for answering a question incorrectly.
If I get bullied in the future, I'll just mention Nawaki's name, and no one should dare to disrespect me.
In fact, Obito didn't realize that his network of connections was quite impressive. The future Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, Kushina, was his teacher; Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, was his teacher's wife; Kakashi, the genius Shinobi of Konoha, was his brother; he had fought alongside Naruto, the future Child of Prophecy; and Yahiko of the Akatsuki shared the same ideals as him.
Now that there's another heir to the Senju Clan, Obito seems to see the future Hokage Position beckoning to him.
"I, Obito Uchiha, will definitely become Hokage, then marry Rin, and make Kakashi my Anbu Captain." Obito secretly made his wish in his heart.
