Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future

"Sarutobi-sensei, Orochimaru, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly..."

Jiraiya held back his doubts for a long time and finally asked first.

Orochimaru showed a slight smile:

"What? Jiraiya, are you also against me becoming Hokage?"

"No, I just—"

"What if you become Hokage?"

"Me? No, no, I'm definitely not suited for that!"

Jiraiya immediately shook his head and refused, fearing that the position of Hokage would truly fall upon him.

Compared to the heavy responsibilities of a Hokage, he still preferred to travel and gather materials at his leisure.

"Jiraiya, you're still so naive!"

"Giving everything up for an illusion's prophecy. Or is this the true nature of your heart?"

Orochimaru spoke sarcastically on purpose, unable to tolerate Jiraiya's usual demeanor.

Jiraiya always pretended to do whatever he wanted, but when he actually lost something he valued, he felt guilty and blamed himself more than anyone else.

He had lived in shame and self-blame his whole life.

If regret were useful, what else would it have to do with ninjutsu?

"The Great Toad Prophecy will not be wrong. I must find the son of the prophecy! And, I may have found him."

"You mean that troublesome kid named Naruto?"

"Yes! But I'm not sure yet."

"Hmph! You always place your hopes on others. Jiraiya, you haven't changed at all after all these years!"

"Orochimaru! What qualifications do you have to say that?"

Jiraiya replied angrily. Regardless of whether it was planned or not, he was still dissatisfied with Orochimaru's behavior of attacking the village.

"Jiraiya, I am Hokage!"

"Orochimaru."

Jiraiya choked hard, but unfortunately, there were no doors around that he could slam open and leave.

"Enough! If you two are going to fight, move elsewhere and argue slowly!"

Hiruzen shouted loudly, showcasing a teacher's demeanor and stopping their quarrel.

❀❀❀

"Jiraiya, are you going to leave the village this time when you return?"

Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette and asked quietly.

"That's not going to happen anytime soon. I will continue to teach Naruto for a while."

"In that case, stay and help Orochimaru. You are all my students, and you should work together to help each other."

At one point, Hiruzen had also considered letting Jiraiya replace him.

However, on one hand, Jiraiya was too obsessed with traveling, and on the other hand, his personality was very unsuitable to be Hokage.

If he were to replace the Hokage, he might turn all the baths in the village into mixed baths that day and then build dozens of more baths.

But as an assistant to the Hokage, that would be a great choice.

At least with his strength and qualifications, Orochimaru + Jiraiya alone would be enough to suppress most of the opposition in the village.

"I-I'll think about it."

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru, his face embarrassed, and he politely agreed.

"But old man, why do you suddenly want to hand over that position to him?"

Hiruzen and Orochimaru exchanged glances and both chose to keep it hidden in a silent agreement for now.

After all, they didn't have enough time now, and they didn't know where the First and Second Hokages came from? How were they resurrected?

They would raise questions at the next meeting.

It wasn't too late to inform Jiraiya.

"The specific situation is more complicated. I will tell you later if the time is right."

Jiraiya touched his head, wondering what puzzle the old man was playing.

But he wasn't the type of person who liked to get into trouble, so he wouldn't think about this issue any further.

"By the way, from now on, Orochimaru will be the new Fifth Hokage, right?"

"Of course!"

Orochimaru grinned, feeling very happy.

"Don't be too happy too soon. It's hard to say to others, but Danzo will definitely not let you ascend the throne easily."

Jiraiya was not foolish, or most people who weren't blind could see that Danzo coveted the position of Hokage.

Based on his understanding of him, Danzo would never just give up.

"Don't worry, I know what's happening."

Orochimaru was not foolish; when he became Hokage, he had to face difficulties and opponents. He had already planned and practiced many times in his mind.

It's just that the old man never gave him a chance.

Now that the opportunity was available, it could be justified.

Was he not capable of defeating Danzo alone? It was too much to underestimate him.

The only thing Orochimaru cared about was Hiruzen's own attitude.

"Old man, can I kill him?"

Hiruzen was slightly taken aback. After pondering for a long time, he still couldn't help but say:

"Try to save his life! Even though he has done a lot of dirty work and made many mistakes."

"But in the end, it's for the village. If you can save his life, just do it. If he really resists, just destroy his ninjutsu."

"I will personally take care of him in the last few years."

Hearing this, Orochimaru licked his lips loudly.

"Okay, I will try my best to save him!"

In the end, the old man was so hesitant and indulgent towards Danzo. Orochimaru clearly found it very insulting, but seeing that the old man was already very sensitive, it wasn't a bad idea to betray him in the end.

After all, one of Orochimaru's goals was to surpass Hiruzen and prove that he was better than his teacher.

It didn't matter whether he killed Danzo or not.

If Danzo truly had no regrets, it wouldn't be impossible to arrange for the Otogakure Ninja to send him on a journey and then hand over the scapegoat to Hiruzen.

In terms of means, Orochimaru was abundant!

❀❀❀

It didn't take long.

While the three of them were chatting.

Kakashi and Anko returned with an injured Sasuke.

Upon seeing Sasuke and Naruto, Orochimaru licked his lips loudly, the greed in his eyes unmasked.

"Orochimaru, I warn you, never try to take advantage of Naruto!"

Jiraiya stepped in front of Naruto, checking his injuries while turning to warn Orochimaru. He was still very protective of his students.

Moreover, Naruto was most likely the legendary child of prophecy!

"Please call me Hokage-sama!"

"You..."

Kakashi and the others exchanged glances, not daring to get involved in the quarrel between the new Hokage and their old friend.

However, he still carefully dragged Sasuke behind him to protect him from Orochimaru's greed.

Sasuke himself was becoming increasingly confused.

During the previous Chunin Exams, Orochimaru had attacked them several times, and Team Seven had long regarded him as an enemy.

Although Sasuke was very envious of Orochimaru's power, he never considered him a good person, and now how could he change his identity and become the new Hokage?

Wasn't the Third Hokage still alive?

What had he and the others missed?

❀❀❀

Orochimaru didn't care about Jiraiya's warning; he yearned for the Kyuubi, but at this stage, he was clearly more interested in Sasuke.

After all, the painful experience of losing to Itachi in seconds always made Orochimaru ponder.

He relied on his own talent and hard work to reach his current position, and Itachi had truly told him that all his efforts were no match for the blood and eyes he possessed from birth.

Was his life and activities a joke?

How could Orochimaru be convinced?

He targeted Sasuke just to see if he could overcome what was called the Uchiha bloodline!

"Sasuke? Stop hiding, I won't eat you."

"Come here quickly."

"You're the only one awake now. Tell me what happened to you? Has the Bijuu in Sunagakure had its seal released?"

Orochimaru waved at Sasuke, trying his best to put on a 'good core' smile on his face.

Kakashi was clearly worried.

But Jiraiya and Hiruzen were both there, and it was impossible for Orochimaru to act badly towards Sasuke in front of so many people.

Moreover, they had no qualifications or reasons not to comply with the 'New Hokage.'

He could only let Sasuke show his head and start recounting everything that had just happened.

Sasuke suppressed a lot of doubts in his heart and honestly described the recent events.

Everyone was shocked to hear that Gaara had actually released the seal and unleashed Shukaku.

It was unimaginable that only three genin could escape from the Bijuu with their lives?

However, what happened next was even more astonishing.

Gamabunta was summoned by Naruto, and the mysterious Anbu ninja who suddenly appeared.

Everyone was incredulous.

They all suspected that Sasuke was under an illusion?

Kakashi: An ANBU ninja who can fight Bijuu alone? So fierce? Why haven't I seen him? And also Rasengan?

Guy: Is there a ninja that strong in the village? I need to talk to him about his youth!

As for Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, they were even more shocked:

Yellow hair? Wearing a mask? So fast? Would he still use Rasengan?

The Yellow Flash suddenly appeared in Orochimaru's mind.

Could it be Minato?

Considering that the First and Second Hokages had appeared, it seemed that the deceased Fourth Hokage was not an unacceptable thing.

No wonder Tobirama said that Bijuu were not to be worried about.

In front of Minato, Shukaku could indeed be dealt with easily.

Although it couldn't be confirmed yet, the likelihood was high that it was not wrong.

It was impossible, Orochimaru could only silently warn himself:

"It seems I should be kinder to this Naruto kid in the future. At least when studying him, I need to give him two more sedatives and a few more bowls of ramen."

"That kid had a tough time growing up, so a few more bowls of ramen should be enough to fix him."

As for Sasuke!

Why should he allow himself to be manipulated when he was powerless in the village?
