Three years later.
Hokage Office Building.
Assistant Office.
Orochimaru sat on a large wooden chair slightly smaller than Hokage, looked at the reports of the Scientific Research Department and Administrative Department in his hands, and nodded slightly. Suddenly, he thought of himself in another time and space...
In the end, I couldn't see the teacher and was kicked away by him from Dragon Vein...
"I don't know what happened to that guy?"
"Unknowingly, three years have passed. Peaceful time always makes people unaware of the passage of time, like the days when I was practicing with my teacher when I was a child..."
Orochimaru felt emotional.
During the past three years, Hiruzen Sarutobi gradually handed over some practical matters in the village to Orochimaru, gradually making him, Hokage's assistant, a powerful and substantial person who is well known and recognized by most ninjas.
If you have ability, you also need a stage to show it.
Today's Orochimaru is no longer in a situation where Acting Hokage was completely unable to convince the public a long time ago. It has a relatively solid prestige and team...
"It's all because of the teacher's hand and protection that I can go so smoothly..."
Orochimaru said to himself in his heart, "This may be the teacher's last lesson. He is teaching me to do the same thing as him when handing over Haori to the next Hokage..."
Orochimaru suddenly thought of Tobirama and blinked at the photo of Second Hokage on the wall.
Maybe...
In a sense, this is also thanks to Mr. Second Hokage, who did not let the teacher take over Hokage position smoothly at that time, so that he could receive such good treatment...
Although there is some flavor of Hell Jokes, it is very consistent with the consistent tone of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Don't be afraid of making mistakes, but you must correct them resolutely when you find them, and you can't make them a second time...
"Although the past three years have been quiet, they are not stagnant. Both Shinobi World and Konoha are changing at a high speed..." Orochimaru calmed down and looked at the report carefully.
The first one is the two major projects that Konoha started to implement more than ten years ago.
The universalization of Hashirama Cells and Cursed Seal aims to comprehensively strengthen the basic qualities of ninjas.
At present, with the further improvement of technology and the reference of different time and space data, Konoha Ninja has fully transplanted Hashirama Cells and Cursed Seal... Security is the bottom line.
There will be different levels of enhancement based on each person's adaptability and talent.
As Hokage's assistant, Orochimaru naturally learned about Crimson Organization and Madara's situation, and also had contact with Ah Huo, the special correspondent. Orochimaru was not particularly surprised by the "Evil Sage'" in Madara's body.
The existence and nature of Tailed Beast, the intentional or unintentional disclosure of Nine-Tails, various legends from thousands of years ago, the history of the Millennial Noble Clan such as Rinnegan, Senju and Uchiha, the mysterious and unnatural Pure Land...
Taken together, Orochimaru has long been mentally prepared for the existence of "Sage'.
However, Orochimaru is shocking...
As early as more than ten years ago, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to develop Cursed Seal and Hashirama Cells on a regular and continuous basis, with the goal of giving all ninjas the possibility to master...
"Did the teacher discover the so-called 'Sage' more than ten years ago?"
"How far can you see with those eyes of yours?"
Orochimaru seemed to see the teacher sitting on Hokage's office chair, smoking Tobacco Pipe, with Spirit Release's white light that could see through everything appearing in his eyes, pushing forward the project like a bottomless pit against all opinions...
With the existence of Rinnegan, if the ninjas do not master Natural Energy, then the number of people will be meaningless and will only become a "blood pack' absorbed by the opponent Chakra...
But after mastering Natural Energy, it's completely different.
Senjutsu Chakra will certainly be absorbed, but both the magnitude and frequency will be greatly reduced.
Techniques with special structures such as Wood Release and Susanoo, with the blessing of Senjutsu, are almost difficult to be absorbed by Rinnegan... "The protection of the ninja is also further improved, the strength of the increase and the reserve of the fund pool are relatively healthy, Shinobi World Chronicle is also advancing..." "Who will write this chronicle is a difficult question..."
"Both Isshin and Tenzo want to take this opportunity to leave their names in history. Jiraiya's voice is also very high, and there is even a new and serious writer Kaguya Kimimaro..."
Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh.
After Icha Icha Paradise was obtained from another time and space, and Orochimaru was shown to Jiraiya, the now number one writer Shinobi World denied it continuously, saying that he would never write such a thing!
He only writes "Saving Jonin Yashiro' and "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi' like Serious Literature...
But under Orochimaru's teasing gaze, Jiraiya still couldn't stand it, and was defeated on the question of "why hasn't another book been published in these years?"...
Toad Sage There is nothing he can do!
The teacher is hiding and won't give him the outline of the third part, so what can he do?
And after Kimimaro wrote "Orphans of the Mist', the whole Shinobi World was in an uproar. They didn't expect that under the influence of Will of Fire, even the most famous Kaguya reckless man could become such a great intellectual!
For a time, Kimimaro was as popular as Shinobi World and was interviewed everywhere.
But he is very wise and has always said that he has such insights. Thanks to Mr. First Mizukage, who took him by his side during Land of Water, he was able to inspire such inspiration...
What's interesting is that.
Most of the others expressed emotion, but Hyuga Tenzo was a little off guard.
Kimimaro can write a book?
Kaguya Clan can still create?
Even if he is the inheritor of his lifelong skills, this joke is too big!
Such a masterpiece must leave its name in Shinobi World! As a cultural person...
But Hyuga Clan Head, who is full of wisdom, rarely has such an opportunity. Not many people will know about it after a hundred years...Hyuga Tenzo knows that there must be something going on here!
But Kimimaro kept saying "Lord Hokage's support and Education', "Will of Fire changed Kaguya and Shinobi World', and Hyuga Tenzo had no choice. I can only say that he is worthy of being his good successor...
Therefore, Hyuga Tenzo set its sights on the opportunity to revise the history of Shinobi World...
But at the same time, his competitors include Uchiha Isshin, Kimimaro and Jiraiya...
"Does the universal transplantation of First Hokage cells still have such an effect? Is this because the teacher has long seen that Konoha will dominate Shinobi World, or is it just a coincidence..."
Orochimaru picked up another report and sighed again.
As mentioned above, like Kirigakure and Amegakure District, after receiving the Hashirama Cells transplant, the ninjas in these areas will obviously strengthen their identification with Will of Fire and relieve their psychological burden...
Completely become a Konoha Ninja.
Because compared to birth and other identities, Hashirama Cells means "under official certification, the blood of First Hokage flows in the body"... This has a strong united front significance.
Therefore, Iwagakure and Kumogakure have actually "surrendered" to Konoha and opened all borders. Ōnoki and Third Raikage also secretly found Orochimaru and requested to join the Will of Fire family...
Let the divided Shinobi World be reunited!
Under the deployment of Orochimaru, the ninjas of Iwagakure and Kumogakure have also been registered at Konoha. Kirigakure and Amegakure District, which have relatively lost their talent, must first conduct five-year assessments, and then select the best ones to absorb...
Bang!
And at this moment.
Hokage The door to the assistant office was violently pushed open.
Tsunade Feng Wind-Fire walked in angrily, pointed at Orochimaru and shouted loudly, "Orochimaru, you will regret it!"
Orochimaru was stunned.
"Why are the funds for the Scientific Research Department and Medical Department being cut? Tell you, don't think that now that Hokage is assisting, you have forgotten your roots!" Tsunade said fiercely, "You have to give me an explanation!"
Orochimaru helplessly spread his hands:
"Tsunade, I am Hokage's assistant... Many things are not as simple as they seem. Some projects that have no long-term benefits and output ratios need to be axed..."
"Scientific research is the top priority in the village, but the village is not only about scientific research."
"There are military, economic and industrial pillars, people's livelihood, Education, culture, and security. These sectors must be developed in a balanced way. It does not mean that cutting a few projects means suppressing..."
"Appropriate reductions will also help to refresh scientific research and Medical Department ninjas, so that they can submit funding applications more carefully..." Tsunade narrowed his eyes.
She is not so easily fooled!
"Come on, tell me why this project needs to be cut?" Tsunade slapped the table, and the huge force made the documents on the desk fly up. Orochimaru explained patiently.
Tsunade didn't get angry anymore at this time, but listened carefully.
"The current focus of the village is to develop the "Will of Fire' technique. Anything other than this must make way for this."
Orochimaru said unhurriedly, but his attitude was very firm and he had no intention of giving in.
The so-called "Will of Fire Technique'" was inspired by the "Chakra Link" written in the ancient Ninshu period among the various classics that Orochimaru voluntarily handed in from the enthusiastic villagers, and tried to develop the war technique.
Its function is to use the special Chakra Link to allow ninjas in the connected network domain to share Chakra and even vitality, greatly improving the fault tolerance of the single unit...
A special Chakra network connects the ninjas in the network into one, sharing Chakra and vitality, fundamentally rewriting the casualty logic of war.
When facing an enemy that is too powerful, ninjas who are unable to reach the enemy's baseline can still convey their strength to their fighting partners and make their own contributions...
Tsunade nodded slightly.
If it was for "Will of Fire Technique', what Orochimaru did was considered reasonable.
"Well..."
"You've passed the test this time!"
"But I will always keep an eye on you. If there is any problem, I will impeach you... Of course, if someone slanders you, I will also speak out for you."
"This is Will of Fire that the teacher passed to me!"
Tsunade said these words, turned around, slammed the door, and Wind-Fire left angrily.
She is also very busy...
Orochimaru rubbed the center of his eyebrows, feeling like there were a lot of things he wanted to vomit.
No...
Where is your teacher's Will of Fire?
Your process of rushing up to me, interrogating me, and slamming the door away made me think you were Danzo's apprentice!
Orochimaru and Tsunade are the next-generation Hokage and Hokage assistants that are now firmly established in Konoha.
Orochimaru couldn't help but wonder, is assisting in slamming the door one of Konoha's traditions?
Why do people who sit or want to sit in this position have such a tendency in the early stages...
Tsunade made such a fuss, Orochimaru once again thought of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
How did the teacher endure Danzo for so long and turn him into a sunny and cheerful middle-aged man...
Compared with Danzo's "Kotoamatsumaki'' which is used for self-washing, Orochimaru feels that it is actually average. What really changes this Root of Konoha is the teacher's sun-like Will of Fire...
"However, I seem to understand what the teacher said."
Orochimaru shook his head.
Once, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru said that you need someone who can tell the truth to you and always be able to put forward objections that look at the problem from another angle...
Danzo So.
The same is true for today's Tsunade.
It will allow Hokage to subconsciously think more comprehensively before doing things, and it can also break one's own "information cocoon"...
But we must also ensure that it is controllable, and it is "providing perspective" rather than "competitive internal friction"...
"Konoha Committee Member's quota will also be released appropriately."
"The actual controllers of Amegakure, Kirigakure and Rōran areas must join in."
"But it needs to be rotated. Local origins like Hanzo and Kimimaro cannot be allowed to stay any longer. After promotion, they will be transferred back to Konoha and their positions will be replaced by ninjas from Konoha..."
Orochimaru thought.
After experiencing one thing after another, he gradually became what Hokage should be...
#
Ninja Academy.
Naruto and Sasuke have also reached school age. After the Ninja Academy's schooling schedule was extended, these two little ones also started studying together with Itachi, Kabuto and Yamato...
There is also the pride of the Hyuga Clan today, Toneri known as "Aosui of the Hyuga Clan"!
The people of Konoha are proud and at ease with the healthy growth of the next generation in the village. This means that Will of Fire will not be idle, but talents will continue to emerge...
However, everyone else was laughing, but it put a lot of pressure on Obito...
What should he, a teacher, do about this graduation exam?
Fortunately, teacher Obito can still wait a few years to settle down due to the extension of the academic system, and then face these Elite Class students whose talents have overflowed...
Digest Dojutsu Power from Alternate Universe Obito, and learn more about Laoden's dirty tricks during the Warring States Period...
Ninja Academy door.
Urashiki smiled while holding two translucent fried starch sausages and eating them while waiting for Toneri to finish school.
It's not that he can't afford pure meat...
But Urashiki, a seasoned foodie, found that fried sausages require starch, and others don't have the same taste...
In the past few years of Konoha, Urashiki probably met the most people of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and after repeated training-style personality modifications, he let go of the Otsutsuki Clan's pride from the inside out.
He faced up to his own shortcomings and lived in the village with the mentality of an ordinary ninja. Because he and Toneri are both in the "Hyuga' clan, he claimed the traditional Konoha bond between his elder brother and his younger brother...
"It seems a long time ago, and it seems not that long..." Urashiki handed a piece of fried sausage to Toneri, rubbed his head, and was startled. He discovered a problem...
Most of his current memories seem to be related to Konoha.
Although they have lived in the Otsutsuki Clan for thousands of years, due to the work and characteristics of tree planting, the people of each tribe rarely get together and stay apart. It is normal for them to meet only once in hundreds of years.
Moreover, the people of Otsutsuki don't like to communicate with each other...
But it's different in Konoha.
The ninjas and villagers here love communication and communication. Sometimes what Urashiki says in one day is more than the sum of the past hundred years... Sometimes Urashiki can't tell whether he is an undercover agent of the Otsutsuki Clan or a Konoha Ninja...
And Urashiki, as the "Dead Rationality' of Otsutsuki, gradually disappeared under the communication of Hiruzen Sarutobi's iron fist and fetters, and gained the ability to cultivate and grow on its own...
"Is it delicious? I told you, listen to my brother, pure meat is not as good as starch..."
Urashiki said with a smile, "Let's go and take you to eat ramen. Recently, the boss Ichiraku has released a new product..."
Toneri nodded obediently. "Thank you, brother!"
At the beginning, Toneri was still wary of Urashiki's identity.
Because he is from the moon!
But after learning that Urashiki and Hokage always sparred, Toneri and the other Konoha Ninja stopped worrying about these minutiae. There may be hidden secrets here, but there will definitely be no problem...
But at this moment.
Urashiki Suddenly stopped, looked at the sky, and frowned.
He felt the breath of the so-called same race!
High in the sky.
After many calls from Isshiki, Momoshiki and Kinshiki rushed to Shinobi World in the most efficient manner...
"Something's wrong, why is that one even here?" Urashiki's heart sank. "Why is this! It's almost like Shinobi World and the clan are about to have a decisive battle..."
The existence mentioned by Urashiki is named "Otsutsuki Zōshiki'...
If among the Otsutsuki Clan, Hoshiki is Clan Head.
Then Zoshiki is the assistant of Clan Head!
