Watching Orochimaru being carried back to the Senju clan's territory by his Princess Tsunade Shadow Clone as Orochimaru in the distance, Wang Hao glanced at the side quest he had just activated and felt even more gloomy.
He was just strolling around Hidden Leaf Village when he happened to see Princess Tsunade drowning her sorrows in a tavern, eventually passing out completely.
Taking this opportunity, he created a Shadow Clone, disguised as Orochimaru, and approached her. Using some hypnotic tricks, he managed to extract Tsunade's wish from Tsunade, and then the side quest was activated.
Perhaps because the girl was not fully conscious, none of the five activated side quests had specific reward amounts; instead, the rewards varied depending on the completion status.
That's not so bad, it's just that those five tasks are all incredibly difficult.
For example, achieving lasting peace in the Shinobi World is incredibly difficult, since while Hokage presents a passionate and action-packed style in its literary works and animated films, it is actually a dark and bloody story.
To expect lasting peace in this kind of world is simply asking Wang Hao a difficult question!
After considering all the options, the side quest to revive the Senju Nawaki is relatively simple, but it's still not easy to complete.
So these five side quests are a complete trap!
He had originally planned to activate a side quest by contacting Princess Tsunade and thus gain access to Fortune Points. If he could obtain the same side quest system as the one he got from Dongfang Bai in the previous world, he would make a fortune.
But who would have thought that what we ended up with was such a huge pitfall!
"Didn't you consider my feelings when Dan-kun used my appearance to approach Princess Tsunade?"
Orochimaru appeared beside Wang Hao, also looking at the Senju Clan's territory not far ahead.
He had witnessed everything that had just happened, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Wang Hao's attempt to approach Princess Tsunade while disguised as him.
It's important to know that Princess Tsunade's temper has been quite volatile over the past year due to her relationship with Dan Kato and her younger brother; she could easily beat someone half to death.
He didn't want to get beaten up by Princess Tsunade in her rage.
"There's no other way. You're the only one who's close to Tsunade wandering around Leaf. To avoid arousing suspicion, I have to borrow your face!"
Shrugging, Wang Hao didn't care about Orochimaru's dissatisfaction at all. He casually took out a small scroll from his ninja tool pouch and handed it over. Inside was a record of a super S-level Ninjutsu that he had developed.
Orochimaru also spat out a scroll and handed it to Wang Hao, then took the scroll from Wang Hao and unfurled it without any hesitation.
" Lightning of Destruction?"
Unrolling the scroll and looking at the Ninjutsu recorded inside, Orochimaru's eyes widened, and he became more and more shocked as he read on.
On the other side, Wang Hao disdainfully took the scroll covered in an unknown liquid. As he unfolded it, he explained, " The Lightning of Destruction is a technique I created based on the Third Raikage's Black Lightning, but its power is far greater, enough to be classified as a Super S-rank Ninjutsu."
The so-called Lightning of Destruction was derived from the World-Destroying Thunder of the Smiling Proud Wanderer World, combined with some inheritances he obtained from Uncle Kui, and the characteristics of Chakra. It is not an exaggeration to classify it as a super S-rank Ninjutsu.
If Orochimaru could control it, even if beings like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were to be resurrected, he would be able to put up a fight against them.
" Dan-kun's rewards are always so satisfying!"
Orochimaru was quite satisfied with the scroll as he closed it.
Although he only saw a small part of it, his eyesight allowed him to discern the immense power of this Ninjutsu, far surpassing any S-rank Ninjutsu he knew.
"Really!"
On the other side, Wang Hao, having finished reading the scroll brought by Orochimaru, unleashed his power, turning the entire scroll into dust that fell to the ground, further confirming his previous guess.
He had previously speculated that the Caged Bird Cursed Seal's formula was merely a superficial shell, with its core being an extremely high-quality special Chakra. Now, this complete formula has proven his speculation.
It seems that to solve their own problems, they still need to find that thing that the Hyuga Clan has hidden!
Are you leaving?
Danzō walked slowly forward, standing beside Wang Hao as they looked towards the Senju Clan's territory.
"I've stayed home long enough; it's time for me to continue my journey!"
Wang Hao nodded slightly; he was indeed ready to depart.
"My lovely junior, are you hesitant and adorable because you're about to confess your feelings to me?"
He turned his head and glanced at Ding Si, who had come with Danzō and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
He already knew this girl's real name a few days ago; it's a pretty name, Liuyue Ying. Ding Si is just her code name within the Root Organization.
"Damn it, who wanted to confess to you? I just wanted to thank you!"
Liuyue Ying felt a surge of anger, wishing she could pounce on him and bite that bastard.
However, she did come to express her gratitude. She wasn't really stupid; she had naturally realized over the past few days that it was this bastard senior who had pleaded for her on behalf of Danzō, which was why she had survived.
Otherwise, according to the rules of the Root Organization, it would be eliminated on the same day.
"At least you still have some conscience. This is a gift for you. Study hard, and I hope you won't be as weak as a newbie next time I see you."
Wang Hao smiled slightly, showing great optimism for this junior member of the Root Organization, and tossed him a scroll that he had specially copied the day before yesterday.
"Damn senior!"
Taking the scroll, Liuyue Ying gritted her teeth, her feelings towards this so-called senior were quite complicated, and she didn't know how to evaluate him.
"Old boss, it seems the Third should be asking you to White Fang, right?"
Suddenly, Wang Hao asked a strange question.
"How is that possible? White Fang is from the Hokage's lineage and the head of the Anbu. How could the Third Hokage possibly lay a hand on White Fang?"
Liuyue Ying's eyes widened, clearly not believing Wang Hao's words.
After several days of reflection, she acknowledged that the Third Lord might have an unknown dark side and not be as virtuous and upright as he appeared, but he would never harm his own people.
After all, White Fang is now the Third Hokage's right-hand man. Even if the Third Hokage were insane, he wouldn't cut off his own limbs!
Compared to Liuyue Ying's disbelief, Orochimaru's Orochimaru suddenly contracted, and he abruptly turned to look at Wang Hao beside him, finally focusing his gaze on Danzō.
"About half a month ago Hiruzen subtly hinted to us that he wanted to nominate Sakumo Hatake as the successor to the Fourth Hokage. It seems he was indeed trying to entice us to take action. Before you arrived, I did have this intention."
After a long silence, Danzō revealed a secret.
In the past, he would have definitely eliminated any competitors who stood in his way of becoming Hokage. But since communicating with his ace subordinate, his mind has undergone a fundamental transformation, and he has gained a different perspective on many issues.
That's how I figured out Hiruzen Sarutobi's sinister intentions!
The other party knew perfectly well about his obsession with the Hokage position, yet subtly revealed it. What else could it mean but to lure him into making a move?
But how did this kid find out?
After all, only he and a few others knew about this matter, and it was impossible for it to be Hiruzen Sarutobi out. This kid wasn't in Leaf for a while, so how did the other party know about such a secret?
Is there anything hard to guess?
With a wicked smile, Wang Hao sneered, "Have you ever heard the saying 'His merits overshadow his master'? Senior White Fang was truly the star of the Second Great Ninja War. The battlefield in the Land of Wind, which he led, was not only the first to end the battle, but he also killed the son and daughter-in-law of Chiyo of Village Hidden in the Sand. Those were two genuine Kage Level powerhouses."
He then led his troops to support the battlefield in the Land of Earth, earning a great reputation. Not only was he powerful, but he also had a strong reputation in Leaf. He was almost universally regarded as the best successor to the Fourth Hokage, a feat that even the so-called Legendary Three Sannin could not match.
With subordinates like that, the Third must be having a tough time lately, right?
Furthermore, the Third is currently in his prime, and he values power so much. You actually believe him when he says he wants to find a successor to the Hokage position?
Even if the Third Hokage were to find a successor, he would definitely choose someone with a gentle and easy-to-control personality, preferably his own disciple or grand-disciple, to act as a puppet so that he could continue to wield power. This was the Third's intention.
The Third Hokage certainly doesn't deserve the title of the strongest Hokage of all time, but I reckon that if nothing unexpected happens, he might become the longest-serving Hokage in Leaf's history.
This isn't just random talk; in the original storyline, the Third did indeed serve the longest term Hokage.
Wang Hao glanced at Liuyue Ying, whose face was deathly pale, and said coldly, "Everyone wants a sharp sword, but if it's too sharp, it might backfire. Even if the possibility is slim, it's still a hidden danger, isn't it?"
You must understand, Leaf now has no room for geniuses!
Finally, Wang Hao looked at the three Hokage's portraits carved on Hokage Rock, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
He really didn't approve of the three Hokage of Leaf. They all had only an elementary school Water Transformation and spent all their time fighting and killing. It would be a disaster to put such people in charge of governance and construction.
For example, the ninja village system established by the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, was, in his view, a deformed system, as evidenced by the fact that two Great Ninja War occurred in just two or three decades.
Not to mention that the Third Great Ninja War will break out again in just a few years, which proves how terrible this system is.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it. Although the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, was the type who appeared foolish but was actually wise, he had focused on the art of killing since childhood, and his academic performance was really not good. It was already quite remarkable that he was able to come up with a system for ninja villages.
We can't expect too much from this!
"Old boss, you can take the blame for some things, but there are some things you can't do! It feels too foolish to be someone else's pawn. After all, you're a man who's going to become Hokage, how can you have such an indelible stain on your record?"
Anyway, there are always people more eager than you to do those things. When they can't hold back anymore, they'll do it themselves. At that time, you, the old boss, just need to take the blame. Leave some room for maneuver so that the other party can't find any leverage to deliver Critical Strike at a crucial moment.
Wang Hao felt compelled to offer this reminder, otherwise, if the old leader were to impulsively try to scheme against White Fang, he would be in deep trouble.
White Fang can indeed die, but he cannot die because of Danzō. After all, his old leader is now one of their own!
"Could Dan-kun analyze whether I have a chance to become the Fourth Hokage?"
Orochimaru suddenly spoke up, drawing the attention of everyone present.
That's definitely a good topic!
