Chapter 123：

Many images flashed through Sandai's mind, including Nawaki, Kato Dan, Hatake Sakumo, Tsunade, Orochimaru...

The final scene freezes on the image of Orochimaru.

The Third Hokage's expression no longer hesitated.

He said directly: "I have prepared what Orochimaru wants. How can I send it to him? I want to see him."

Jiraiya seemed to have guessed what the Third Hokage was thinking: "Old man, have you thought about it? Maybe Tsunade is good too."

The Third Hokage shook his head, Jiraiya did not fully understand what he meant.

Although he wanted to recall Orochimaru, he was preparing to be the fifth generation Hokage.

But now, it is necessary to have more vitality as a reserve to fight against Uchiha.

After all, a Jiraiya is covered in iron, how many nails can he drive?

Orochimaru is back, and the Sandaime Hokage can feel more at ease.

As for Tsunade, Jiraiya said.

Tsunade was originally the most suitable candidate to be Hokage.

Just look at the tag on her body and you will know that she is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, unlike Naruto, the secretive son of the Fourth Hokage.

Tsunade is "the granddaughter of the first Hokage, the founder of Konoha Village", and this matter is completely open to the public.

This also means that she is the purest "Konoha blood". In terms of Hongae Masaru, you can't find anyone better than her if you turn over the entire Konoha.

He is also one of the three ninjas and the disciple of the Third Hokage.

A well-known medical ninja throughout the ninja world, Tsunade's medical ninjutsu can be said to be the best in the world.

If Tsunade succeeded to the throne of Hokage, how many lives could her medical ninjutsu have saved during wartime.

It's a pity that in a single thought, she acquiesced to Danzo's actions, causing Tsunade to break down and run away from Konoha. I haven't been back for many years.

The third Hokage often regretted why he indulged Danzo in the first place, or maybe he was greedy for the little power in his hands.

At the beginning, Konoha's White Fang was powerful and full of honors, but White Fang was the representative of the family faction.

If White Fang takes the position of Hokage, he will definitely support the Hatake family and the families who have good relations with them. The "de-familialization" of three generations will fail.

Therefore, when White Fang's mission failed, the Third Generation acquiesced to Danzo's public opinion offensive.

The purpose was to dampen White Fang's energy and give White Fang a blow.

Unexpectedly, White Fang had such a strong sense of honor that he committed suicide directly.

The Third Hokage was unexpected.

If it weren't for the tacit consent of the third generation, how could the success or failure of a mission cause uproar in the village?

How could Danzo do such a thing without the third generation's acquiescence.

The third generation also regretted it, but fortunately, another Namikaze Minato appeared in Konoha later.

Namikaze Minato was an orphan. He was neither born into a famous family nor had any prominent background. He relied on his own strength to get there.

And he also married the orphan of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Kushina. Uzumaki Kushina is the orphan of the Uzumaki clan. Although the country of Uzumaki is gone, there is still a lot of money left.

Even several streets in Konoha belong to Kushina.

Such a person, with high strength, no background, and a rich wife who is still a Jinchuuriki, is the third generation's most promising candidate for Hokage.

Unfortunately, subsequent developments were beyond his control.

The fourth generation of the Kyuubi Rebellion died unexpectedly, and the Jinchuriki also died together, although the Kyuubi was re-sealed into Naruto.

But Naruto was too young and could not form a fighting force for a while. Konoha Village also lost a large number of elites, and at this time, Danzo suggested that the Nine-Tails was probably controlled by the Uchiha clan.

Because Uchiha was the most suspicious at that time.

And after Tobirama's teachings, the Third Hokage also had a certain prejudice against Uchiha.

Finally, he acquiesced to Danzo's series of actions against the Uchiha clan.

Over the years, the weakening of Uchiha has never stopped.

Later, Uchiha Natsuki suddenly emerged, and the entire Uchiha developed rapidly.

Well now, apart from Jiraiya, Konoha has no good general who can compete with him.

It is impossible for the chiefs of the major ninja clans to serve Konoha wholeheartedly.

There was Kakashi who was useful before, and Obito had his eyes gouged out, but now he is completely depressed.

Compared with Uchiha, the entire Konoha is in a state of decline.

In terms of scheming and resourcefulness, Jiraiya Tsunade is completely incomparable to Orochimaru.

In terms of ability, Orochimaru is not lacking, and Orochimaru is an all-rounder with almost no shortcomings.

However, in the eyes of the third generation, Orochimaru is a person who has no so-called good and evil, and has no bottom line at all.

At the beginning, the third generation also felt that Orochimaru would not be controlled by him, or even be influenced by him or turn to Danzo, so he chose Namikaze Minato.

Under the current situation, it seems that only Orochimaru is the most suitable person. Orochimaru returns to the village, and the third generation can take advantage of the fact that he still has some energy to investigate whether Orochimaru can take over as Hokage.

If Orochimaru can't do it, in the end he will have to push Danzo out for what happened back then, in exchange for Tsunade's understanding, and let Tsunade be Hokage.

After all, the current Danzo is useless except to put him on guard.

In the eyes of the third generation, Uchiha Natsuki is a very smart person, more cunning than smart.

Natsuki's external performance has been inconsistent all day, but since his appearance, every decision he makes is unexpected.

But every time it strengthens the Uchiha clan or weakens Konoha.

To deal with such a person, Jiraiya and Tsunade are no match for Natsuki even if they are tied together.

Perhaps only Orochimaru's character can compete with Natsuki.

Of course, if nothing can be done. Hokage's position is Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, anyone can sit down, and he will feel at ease.

If you are here, you can help me. If you are not here, you can help me.

Before he dies, he needs to pull out the nail that is Danzo.

Orochimaru and Tsunade have no grudges in their hearts, so they will naturally help each other, and Konoha's foundation can be preserved.

Chapter 154 Two Directions of Snake Immortal Technique

Yinyin Village

The pharmacist Kabuto, who was naked to the waist, had a patterned face, vertical pupils, and was all red and white, was lying on the medical bed.

Unlike the original world, Kabuto does not have an extra tail. There is even more facial makeup on the face, and there are no horns.

Orochimaru was collecting data on Kabuto while communicating with Kabuto.

"Tell me about the situation over there in Longdi Cave, and how did you practice the immortal mode?"

While maintaining the sage mode, Kabuto replied: "I met White Snake Sage after I was taken there by Ichikishima Hime."

"The White Snake Immortal said that my physique is special and is very suitable for practicing the Snake Immortal Technique."

"There are two ways to practice the Snake Immortal Technique. One is that the White Snake Immortal injects natural energy through the snake's teeth."

"The other is to absorb natural energy on its own and form imprints."

When Kabuto said this, Orochimaru's hand stopped for a moment: "Is there any difference?"

"White Snake Immortal injects natural energy. These natural energies are transformed by White Snake Immortal. People will begin to transform into snakes involuntarily."

"I heard from Ichikishima-hime that if a practitioner cannot bear the energy and turns into a snake, he will be swallowed by the White Snake Sage."

"Absorbing natural energy on your own will be very slow, and entering immortal mode will not last long."

Kabuto looked at his white skin and said: "But the White Snake Sage said that if he injects natural energy, as long as he survives the first level, he can maintain the sage mode for a long time, and the snake can even transform into a dragon in the end."

"Oh?" Orochimaru asked curiously: "So you chose to let White Snake Sennin inject natural energy?"

Kabuto shook his head: "Although the White Snake Sage injected natural energy into me, my reaction to snake transformation was very small. But when white scales first appeared on my body, I found that my thoughts were being eroded, and I changed my mind."

"I gave up the natural energy injected by the White Snake Immortal and chose to absorb it myself. Absorbing the natural energy by myself has very little erosion on my thoughts."

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto and found that Kabuto had changed a lot.

There was obviously an easily accessible immortal mode but he gave up on it and chose a more difficult path instead.

It seems that leading Otogakure Village over the years has made Kabuto grow up a lot.

Orochimaru asked interestingly: "Why did you choose this way?"

"Ability improvement is an additional thing. Anything that is too powerful will have side effects."

Kabuto clenched his fist: "The goal in life can be found slowly by myself, but it cannot be forced on me by others."

"Sir Natsuki said, the most important thing in life is to be happy."

"I am very happy following Lord Orochimaru."

Kabuto's expression was very serious, and there was no confusion in his eyes like before.

The eyes he looked at Orochimaru were full of admiration.

"Okay, get up."

Orochimaru's face was expressionless, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

"What effect did your previous snake state of infusing natural energy have on you?"

Kabuto shook his head: "I choose to absorb natural energy on my own, and the color of my skin will slowly change back."

At this time, Kabuto exited the sage mode and returned to the gentle boy he once was.

In Longdi Cave, he chose to absorb natural energy and practice the Snake Immortal Technique. He did not encounter any objection from the White Snake Immortal, and even supported it.

In his words, there are very few candidates who can absorb natural abilities on their own, because the human body and the Snake Immortal Technique are not perfectly compatible. The human body absorbs natural energy very slowly, but this problem can be solved after transforming into a snake.

In the immortal mode that absorbs energy by itself, the increase is stronger than that of snake transformation, but the duration is too short.

As long as you can maintain normal thinking after becoming a snake, the immortal mode will remain constant.

It's a pity that most people cannot maintain their true intentions after turning into snakes.

Therefore, after practicing the Snake Immortal Technique of Longdi Cave, he will become more and more like the White Snake Immortal, and eventually he will simply turn into a snake.

For thousands of years, Immortal White Snake has seen too many people similar to him, but none of them became him in the end.

He's tired of it and accepts that no new ones of his kind will be born.

But this time, the Kabuto brought back by Ichikishimahime is extremely suitable for the Snake Senjutsu.

Whether it is absorbed by itself or transformed into a snake, it is very fast.

It is slow to absorb natural energy on its own, but White Snake Sage also wants to see how far Kabuto can go.

Although Kabuto did not choose to transform into a snake, his entire physique has undergone tremendous changes since he practiced senjutsu.

The most intuitive thing is that he is no longer short-sighted. But he still wears glasses. It was his memorial to the dean and also his own mark.

Orochimaru looked at the data: "Your physical fitness has doubled, and it has reached five times in sage mode."

"The perception is far beyond that of a ninja, and the resilience is the same as being treated by Palm Senjutsu."

"The increase in ninjutsu will be tested next time when I have time. Natsuki also asked me to do other things."

"Okay, Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto stood up and put on his clothes.

Orochimaru rarely spoke up and asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable about you being appointed as Okage?"

Kabuto adjusted his glasses: "Actually, there's no difference. It's the same thing as before, it's just that there's an extra title."

"Natsumu-sama said that it would be easier to act as Yinying, and I think it is feasible."

Just as Orochimaru was about to speak, a bell next to him rang softly.

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment before he remembered what the bell was for.

"Until next time, you go deal with things in the village first."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
