Orochimaru, the Best Seed!

Hyuga Zhen set out again, and this time he believed no one would dare to disturb him.

He was a strong person! What is a strong person?

Do whatever you want! Act with impunity!

Rules are made for the weak, and he was destined to be the one to make the rules!

Cough cough! I've been drinking too much chicken soup lately, I almost brainwashed myself!

The ninja world is still deep, and he wouldn't be qualified to mess around until he reached the Nascent Soul Realm at the very least.

He should continue his journey as the Great Teacher of Virtue, finding some quality seeds to sow in the ninja world.

However, it wasn't easy to find talented seeds in the ninja world. Even Uchiha Madara had to screen candidates for a long time before finding a successor.

Hyuga Zhen was also helpless about this; he couldn't possibly compete with Madara for them.

This group of oddballs in the ninja world mostly had strength but no brains, or brains but no strength.

Those with both strength and brains were already kings in their own little corners, and they all considered themselves strong, making them impossible to fool.

Moreover, they were all bound by deeply ingrained concepts.

If you told them the chakra system had problems, they would get rid of you in a heartbeat.

Don't think the Sage of Six Paths was idle; he had been keeping an eye on the general direction of the ninja world all along.

Just like Hongjun in the Primordial World!

It was almost as if he would say, "The general trend of the ninja world cannot be changed!"

After all, the chosen ones of each generation were the reincarnations of the chakra carrying the spiritual will of his two sons!

Hyuga Zhen had reason to believe that the chosen one of the previous generation was Hashirama Senju! Supported by the slug, he went on an unstoppable rampage! However, the slug probably didn't care much about fame or fortune, so he might not have publicized it.

The next generation would naturally be Naruto Uzumaki, who was now in the spotlight. Toad Head was quite persuasive and found a spokesperson in Jiraiya, which felt a bit like the Teacher of the Human Emperor in Primordial World novels!

The generation after that should belong to the Old Loach's lineage, but Hyuga Zhen really didn't know about that!

There must be some unsavory dealings between the Sage of Six Paths and them.

Damn it, could it really be as melodramatic as the Primordial World!

Don't say it, but you're right! Slug Immortal was a bit like Taiqing, indifferent to fame and fortune, never revealing his true form, only sending out clones!

Toad Head was a bit like Yuqing, always talking about destiny, which in the Primordial World would be Primordial Heavenly Venerate, who upholds the heavenly dao!

The Old Loach's summoned beasts didn't distinguish between good and evil; as long as they passed the test, they could sign a contract. His subordinate little loaches also had their good and evil sides, which was exactly like Shangqing Tongtian!

Hyuga Zhen's imagination ran wild instantly!

Then what was he? One of the Two Saints of the West?

"Hmm, that's about right. All beings suffer, and I need to save them," Hyuga Zhen muttered to himself with a solemn expression, like a fake monk.

"Forget it! Anyway, it's all the same old tricks. Who cares!" With the confidence to flip the table at any moment, Hyuga Zhen wasn't afraid of them.

If Heaven had not given birth to me, Hyuga Zhen, the ninja world would have been in eternal darkness!

I will lead the charge!

That's just how willful I am!

But finding a suitable candidate this time was indeed quite difficult.

Hyuga Zhen was a bit overwhelmed for a moment, sighing, "This is too hard for me!"

After much thought, there weren't many suitable candidates.

Nagato and Yahiko had already started to emerge, but Jiraiya had already brainwashed them.

They had established lofty ideals in their lives! While striving for them, they had also gained a certain number of ninja followers. It was difficult to interfere!

Moreover, Nagato was a pawn of Uchiha Madara.

Madara had been watching, and if he was discovered poaching, how awkward would that be!

He had to wait until Madara died before making a move, but he feared that by then, it would be too late to poach.

The two of them were actually good seeds, with decent aptitude and potential, and were easy to fool. What a shame! He had acted too late.

Who else was left? Fugaku Uchiha?

But that guy had a screw loose in his head. Later, he was on par with Hyuga Hiko, always narrow-minded with his clan-centric views! Would it be a waste of time?

No, he couldn't be bound by the original story's mindset. After all, the Sage of Six Paths in the original story wasn't depicted as a behind-the-scenes manipulator!

Moreover, Fugaku Uchiha was still young and could probably be saved.

He would be listed as one of the seed candidates for now!

"Who else?" Hyuga Zhen sat on a large rock by the roadside, resting his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

"Kakashi?" He was still a bit young. By the time he had basically grown up and participated in the war, it would be nearing the end of the Third Shinobi World War.

"He's a good prospect, but he's still in the village now. It's not ideal to drag things out for too long!"

This was because Hyuga Zhen couldn't spend too much time on proselytizing; he had to complete his great mission before the end of the Third Shinobi World War!

He still needed to continue creating techniques and walk the path of the Great Dao. That was fundamental! He couldn't put the cart before the horse!

The remaining trash was hardly enough to pique Hinata Shin's interest.

"Is the great undertaking of passing on knowledge over just like that?"

"Think again! There must be something I've missed! There are so many talented people in the ninja world!"

"Hmm~ Deidara from Iwagakure seems promising!"

"No! Still not good enough. Damn it, he's even younger than Kakashi!" Hinata Shin calculated the timeline and grumbled with some helplessness.

"Right! The Akatsuki Organization has so many talents, let's analyze them and see if there's anyone suitable!" Thinking of Deidara, Hinata Shin's mind opened up.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, too young as well!"

"Kakuzu, his age is fine, and his strength is passable. He should be busy making money everywhere right now!" He could be listed as a candidate.

"Hidan, he's probably still a teenager, already devoted to the Evil God!" Although he couldn't be a seed, he could be used as a thug, and he should be very useful.

"Sasori, also a troubled youth, the fuse for the Third Shinobi World War. Perhaps I can try him!" Let's list him as a seed candidate.

"Konan, I won't consider her for now."

"Who else? Right! I forgot about Orochimaru!"

Hinata Shin's eyes suddenly lit up!

"I almost missed the best seed!"

"Orochimaru, the soul of the entire Hokage series! He has brains, strength, and ideology! A genius among commoners! Good at discovery! Loves science! A master of brainwashing! He's practically a born leader of rebellion!" Hinata Shin couldn't help but clap his hands, his spirits soaring!

Although he was forcibly whitewashed later on, Hinata Shin guessed that Orochimaru, having seen through the truth, had no expectations for this world anymore.

That's why he described himself as the person who turned the windmill; he had seen through the direction of fate and understood the essence of the ninja world.

Because no one understood him! No one knew him! And no one supported him! It was already a blessing that he wasn't attacked by everyone in the end!

Sometimes, knowing too much yet being unable to do anything is also a kind of pain!

But, I, Hinata Shin, have arrived!

"Orochimaru, your soulmate, your spiritual mentor, the lighthouse of your life! The guide on your life's journey! It must be me, and only me, Hinata Shin!"

"I will push you to the throne! I will make you the wind that blows the change in the ninja world!" The more Hinata Shin thought about it, the more he felt Orochimaru was a genius!

So it was decided, his top candidate right now was Orochimaru!

Currently, Orochimaru was serving as the commander on the Iwagakure front. Hinata Shin decided to leave immediately!

He couldn't wait to have a heart-to-heart talk with Orochimaru, to sleep in the same bed!

This was his ideal successor!

However, he couldn't be too hasty; he needed to prepare in advance! After all, Orochimaru was too smart!

Although he was a little inferior to Hinata Shin, compared to the rotten leaves and old vegetables of the ninja world, the difference was like heaven and earth.

It was tiring to reason with smart people! Hinata Shin had deeply experienced this in his past life!

But Orochimaru, as long as you have curiosity, you won't escape!

After all, curiosity killed the cat!

Hinata Shin tidied up his thoughts and felt he had a plan, so he prepared to set off.

After all, there was a seed waiting for him, capable of growing into a towering tree in this twisted ninja world!

"Orochimaru, will you be willing to become that dragon-slaying warrior?"

"I believe, under my guidance, you will be!"

"I also believe you have the ambition and the ability!"

Hinata Shin stood up and shot towards the direction of the Earth Hidden Battlefield!

"Orochimaru, I'm here!"
