With a Sneaky Bastard as Hokage, It Was the People of the Other Villages Who Needed to Worry

"Then... I'll await good news."

Orochimaru ignored the Anbu who were beginning to rearrange the seal on his body and looked at Hagoromo's back as he spoke.

Hagoromo paused for a moment, then slowly walked out.

He needs to reiterate his thoughts to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

That's too risky; it would require an order from the Hokage to complete.

Obito Uchiha, Black Zetsu?

Whether you fall into this trap or not, you have to accept it honestly.

With this in mind, Hagoromo's steps became much lighter.

Now, he's hoping for some action from over there so he can set up a trap.

A situation I had no choice but to enter.

Soon after Hagoromo entered Hiruzen Sarutobi's office, Shisui Uchiha rushed out of the Hokage's Office to fetch Tsunade and Jiraiya.

When Jiraiya and Tsunade arrived at the Hokage's Office, Jiraiya was stunned the moment he saw Hagoromo.

"Please sit down."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and gestured for his disciples to sit down.

"What's wrong?" Tsunade asked, looking annoyed.

These past few days, because of Jiraiya's situation, she's almost reached the point where she can't persuade him anymore.

This guy has always been so stubborn.

"Hagoromo has an idea about the Rinnegan, so I thought I'd ask you all to come and take a look at its feasibility."

Hiruzen Sarutobi on his pipe, gesturing for Hagoromo to speak for him.

"Jiraiya- senpai, this Rinnegan was taken from Nagato, so you don't have any objections, right?"

Hagoromo looked at Jiraiya and asked.

Regardless of whether it's Nagato's Rinnegan or not, we still need to ask Jiraiya's opinion.

"I... have no objection." Jiraiya opened his mouth, then spoke.

"Alright, then I want to join forces with Orochimaru and you, senior sister, to set up a Sealing Jutsu or a trap on this Rinnegan."

Hagoromo stated her thoughts directly.

"Um?"

Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged bewildered glances, not understanding why they were doing this.

They knew the power of the Rinnegan, and they had always believed that Hagoromo had prepared this eye for them.

This is also why Tsunade kept stopping Jiraiya.

Ignoring their astonishment, Hagoromo began to explain her plan.

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi watched Tsunade and Jiraiya with a beaming smile.

He had always thought that Hagoromo wanted to use the Rinnegan, but while he didn't care, he didn't want it either.

However, it all depends on what Hagoromo thinks.

After hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi abandoned his long-held idea.

On the contrary, this method also made him sigh with admiration.

A trap that is sure to hit, one that the opponent has no choice but to fall for, and one that is so subtle that the opponent doesn't even notice it.

Tsunade touched her brow. "Jiraiya, what are you thinking?"

Jiraiya stroked his chin. According to Hagoromo, the Rinnegan wasn't Nagato's eye; it was implanted by someone else.

He naturally agreed to this.

No matter who it was, he, as their master, couldn't tolerate such a decades-long scheme against his disciple.

I agree.

"Alright, I have no problem with that either." Seeing that Jiraiya had agreed, Tsunade naturally had no objections, but she still offered her own perspective.

"But you said Orochimaru has been eyeing this eye all along, is it really feasible to get him to join us?"

Having been his companion for so many years, she knew better than anyone how difficult Orochimaru was to deal with.

Bringing Orochimaru in now is tantamount to letting Monkey guard the peach orchard; the possibility of him stealing from the orchard is too high.

"Don't worry, I'll be with him at all times."

Hagoromo waved his hand, indicating that he wasn't saying he would directly place the Rinnegan in Konoha, given that Hagoromo was there.

Even if Orochimaru wanted to escape, he would have to consider whether he was capable of doing so.

At worst, we can just beat him into a pile of mud again.

His fists had never felt as good as last time; it was truly... incredibly stress-relieving.

Seeing Hagoromo's appearance, Tsunade and Jiraiya couldn't help but exchange a glance.

For some reason, I felt a pang of sympathy for Orochimaru, praying that he wouldn't do anything rash.

Otherwise, Tsunade wouldn't be able to save her this time.

"Alright, since none of you have any objections, let's begin with the important arrangements."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and looked at Hagoromo.

"Yes, Master." Hagoromo nodded, then glanced at Shisui in the corner and was momentarily stunned.

It seems like we could add another layer of insurance, but if that's the case...

"Master, can Shisui's Kotoamatsukami be used?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was walking towards his desk, stopped and immediately understood Hagoromo's thoughts.

"You... take Shisui with you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know what to say about this Sneaky bastard's actions, so he waved his hand and said...

Hagoromo Yi pulled Shisui out from the corner and rubbed Shisui head.

This guy wasted his Kotoamatsukami on Danzo!

Looking bewildered, Shisui was pulled away by Hagoromo, while Tsunade and Jiraiya stood up and sighed in unison.

"Being his opponent is truly unlucky."

Tsunade sighed helplessly.

Jiraiya smiled, showing no objection to Hagoromo's actions. "This kid, one thing leads to another. Making him Hokage doesn't seem so bad."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled.

If a Hokage doesn't use his brain, the villagers might be worried, but if it's a Sneaky bastard Hokage, then the people in other villages should be worried.

"Go, cooperate fully with Hagoromo. I'm looking forward to seeing what those lurking in the shadows will do then."

"Understood, old man."

Jiraiya waved his hand, and with Hagoromo's explanation, he had let go of the slight resentment in his heart.

On the contrary, he was eager to see how much of a stunt the guy who had plotted against his own apprentice would pull off in Hagoromo's hands.

Orochimaru, who had just been sealed away, couldn't help but show a puzzled expression when he saw Hagoromo again.

When Orochimaru saw Tsunade, Jiraiya, and an Uchiha member approaching together, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Perhaps he'll see some interesting things.

After instructing the Anbu to release Orochimaru's seal, Hagoromo slowly approached Orochimaru.

"Hey senior, give me a good hand, otherwise I'd really like to try out that feeling again."

As he spoke, he even swung his fist, causing Orochimaru's eye to twitch.

"Don't worry, I only need the data. I'm not interested in the Rinnegan. Even the Uzumaki Clan couldn't withstand it, so I'll pass on this body to them."

Orochimaru waved his hand and looked at Tsunade and Jiraiya.

After many years, the Sannin have reunited once again.

Hagoromo ignored him; this was for the best. He was also eager to see if Orochimaru 'Scientific Research and Development Department could gain a head start over other countries if Orochimaru remained in Konoha.
