Senju Chen paused in his steps.
"However, in your own name, you went to tell the clan leaders Hyuga and Uchiha that you personally support me?" Orochimaru's mouth opened with a serious smile, "What you do is much smarter than Senju Clan directly siding with the team."
Senju Clan's direct support would be a crushing blow, but would instead arouse vigilance and backlash from Third and the village's senior officials.
But the nature of Senju Chen's lobbying in the name of "personal name" is completely different. This can not only win over those wealthy families who already have ulterior motives, but also leave enough room for the Senju Clan to remain invincible.
"Thank you, teacher." Senju Chen bowed slightly, "I just think that the village needs a truly strong person to lead it."
"Hehehe..." Orochimaru let out a deep laugh, "That's right, Little Chen. When I abdicate, Hokage Position will definitely be yours."
After the matter was done, Senju Chen no longer stayed, turned around and walked out of the laboratory.
In the corridor leading to the exit, he met a young man with a gentle temperament wearing round glasses. The young man was holding a thick stack of information. When he saw Senju Chen, he quickly stopped and bowed respectfully.
"Senior Brother Chen."
It's Kabuto Yakushi.
"Kabuto, are you helping the teacher organize the experimental data again?" Senju Chen had a gentle smile on his face, like a good senior brother who cares about his junior fellow students.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru has made some new discoveries that I need to archive as soon as possible." Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his glasses, and the eyes behind the lenses shone with an imperceptible light.
"Thank you for your hard work." Senju Chen patted his shoulder and passed by.
It wasn't until he walked out of the research institute and was bathed in the sunshine again that Senju Chen took out the letter paper written by Rin Nohara to Kakashi from his arms. The edges of the paper were wrinkled and stained with the girl's wet tears.
Senju Chen sighed and put it away carefully.
Kakashi... I can't give you this letter yet.
Senju Chen dragged his tired body and walked on the familiar bluestone road. Every step he took felt like his feet were filled with lead, and even the strength to raise his arms was about to disappear.
Continuously going from Konoha to Land of Hot Water, and then back all the way from Land of Hot Water, in addition to the consumption of Chakra, there is also huge mental fatigue.
The non-stop Flying Thunder God shuttle during this period had squeezed his Chakra and mental power to the limit.
All he wanted now was to fall on the bed and sleep deeply for three days and three nights.
However, the nerves in his brain were beating excitedly due to excessive consumption, making him unable to rest immediately.
Pushing open his spacious bedroom, the familiar layout came into view. There was a faint fragrance of wood floating in the air. This was the unique smell of the century-old trees in the clan, which could make people feel peaceful.
He did not turn on the light, but took advantage of the dim light coming from the window, walked to the bed and sat down, sinking his body deeply into the soft quilt.
Closing his eyes, Senju Chen's consciousness sank into the sea of spiritual consciousness.
That familiar translucent panel emitting soft blue light came into being.
The information on the panel flows past and finally freezes.
Looking at the system panel in my mind
Now I have seven skill columns.
1: Wood Release Bloodline of First
2: Uzumaki Clan's bloodline
3: Uchiha Clan's bloodline
4: Top-Level Transformation Technique
5: Top-Level Reaction Nerves
6: Exploding Insects Rearing Insights
7: empty
His eyes stayed on the seventh skill bar for a moment, and the corners of Senju Chen's mouth curled up with a smile of satisfaction.
This is another trump card.
His eyes slowly moved down and landed on another section below the skill bar.
It's a card he drew after changing other people's world lines.
1: Hatake Style Kenjutsu of Hatake Sakumo·Mastery
2: Third Raikage A's Lightning Body Tempering method and experience
3: It's also the Isobu I just drew this time, but it shows later - Card·To be received
Looking at these three special rewards, Senju Chen's thoughts began to surge.
Hatake Style Kenjutsu was obtained after he indirectly caused Hatake Sakumo to not commit suicide and changed his fate. This sword skill has been integrated into his instinct, giving him an advantage in hand-to-hand combat.
Lightning Body Tempering comes from reversing the death outcome of Third Raikage. After long-term training, this ability has greatly enhanced his physical defense and speed. Taijutsu is even on par with Might Guy who practiced self-abuse.
And this time...
The consciousness of Senju Chen gently touched the golden card marked "Isobu".
The image of a huge turtle with a huge carapace and three tails instantly appeared in his mind.
A brand new Three-Tails generated by the system.
This means that as long as he wants, he can make himself the perfect Three-Tails Jinchūriki at any time.
A Jinchūriki produced by the system has absolutely no side effects and may not even require a painful break-in period.
The temptation is not small.
Tailed Beast, that is the walking natural disaster, is the collection of Chakra. Owning it is equivalent to having an almost unlimited source of Chakra, as well as the Tailed Beast Bomb that destroys the world.
Looking at the cards in front of him, Senju Chen's breathing became a little rapid for a moment.
But he quickly suppressed this impulse.
He is not planning to use this card for the time being. He has a bold idea. If he can collect nine cards in the future, then...
He turned his attention away from the Three-Tails card and landed on the "Exploding Insects Rearing Insights".
This was the last time I conquered Xuanyuan Group. I chose it because of its novelty. After that, I communicated with my teacher Orochimaru once. In fact, I haven't studied it carefully until now.
But regardless of "Exploding Insects", what confuses him most now is the system's judgment mechanism.
It has been almost ten years since I came to this world.
There were not even a hundred but eighty people who died at his hands. There were countless people whose fate was indirectly changed because of his layout.
But the system has only given out top lottery chances like "Gift of Fate" three times.
Hatake Sakumo, Third Raikage, Rin Nohara.
What do these three people have in common?
Senju Chen leaned against the bed, his tired eyes flashing with thought.
They... are all key figures in the original plot, who either have important roles or have far-reaching influence, and their life and death will trigger a huge chain reaction.
The death of Hatake Sakumo was the beginning of Kakashi's personality change in his life.
The death of Third Raikage marked the end of an era for Kumogakure, and also paved the way for the subsequent capture of Hyuga Byakugan.
The death of Rin Nohara was the trigger for the entire later plot, which directly led to the complete darkness of Obito Uchiha and the opening of "Eye of the Moon Plan".
Saving them by yourself is equivalent to forcibly building a dam in the endless river of fate and changing its direction.
That's why the system gives such generous rewards.
"That's it..." Senju Chen murmured in a low voice, "The key plot, the key characters... this is the correct way to pluck out the system's wool."
After figuring this out, his mind, which was slightly chaotic due to fatigue, instantly became much clearer.
The chessboard of the future slowly unfolded before his eyes.
There are too many "key figures" who can be manipulated.
Shisui Uchiha, Uchiha Itachi, Jiraiya, Nagato, Yahiko... even Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Behind every name represents an opportunity to gain huge profits.
Of course, the risks are equally huge.
Changing the plot is easy to say, but every step is like walking on thin ice. Any slight mistake may cause you to be swallowed up by the torrent of fate and be shattered to pieces.
Just like this time, if it weren't for his speed, plus Tsunade's Medical Ninjutsu and his own Sealing Jutsu, Rin Nohara might have died halfway, and he would have been exposed to Madara Uchiha's vision.
Senju Chen exhaled slowly and suppressed the chaotic thoughts.
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.
What he needs to do most now is rest.
Restore your body and mind to peak condition.
Then, carefully study the vacant seventh skill column and find what kind of powerful ability it should be.
And...
He subconsciously touched his arms, where there was a slightly wrinkled letter.
It was written by Rin Nohara to Kakashi.
A playful smile appeared on Senju Chen's face.
Poor Kakashi is probably still in deep self-blame and pain for the "tragic death" of his companion.
This letter is like a seed.
Of course I can't give it to him yet.
You have to wait for the most appropriate time, when Kakashi needs it most and is most unexpected, and then take it out.
And Obito, don't you just want to create a world with Lin? When the time comes, I will directly let a real person stand in front of you to see if you will continue your "great" plan.
Hey hey hey!!!
