Orochimaru claimed to be a traveler, but in truth, he still wanted to change this Konoha.
As a qualified ruler, Orochimaru held absolute control over Konoha Country, which spanned two worlds. Its system of rule had been built around the ninja clans of the former Konoha.
It could be said that power and profit sustained all of Konoha Country, and Orochimaru's desire for control was extremely strong.
But the Konoha before him was different. Its rotten political system still existed, with Danzo and the Elders' Council both still in place. Orochimaru loathed such things.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to personally turn Konoha into what he wanted it to be?
For Orochimaru, overturning this Shinobi World would be far too easy.
The two of them, he and Kakashi, could easily reshape this Shinobi World into whatever they desired.
But that would be too boring. It would be better to gradually change these people's minds, then leave after making them understand what was right.
That was what made it truly interesting!
Orochimaru's words gave everyone before him different expressions.
The people here stood on completely different sides. Jiraiya genuinely wanted what was best for Konoha and wished for it to improve, but he did not want to become Hokage. That was why he had chosen Tsunade and asked her to return and manage Konoha.
Whether it was Jiraiya or Tsunade, neither wanted to confront Konoha's dark side deep down.
Konoha's interior had become far too dark, leaving the village battered and incomplete.
The Uchiha possessed such excellent power, yet they had actually been wiped out? What a terrible waste.
Sasuke and Itachi, the two who remained, could be ignored. Orochimaru had never expected his disciple to do such a thing.
But on second thought, without proper guidance, an extreme child like Itachi
