Hokage, I, Nakoki, will never live in memories

It was almost evening when Rope returned to Orochimaru's laboratory.The lights in Orochimaru's laboratory are on, but the light in the room does not seem dim.

"teacher!"

Orochimaru looked at the instruments on the test bench, and quickly recorded the data on the paper with his right hand.Hearing Naoshu's words, he asked casually without even raising his head.

"Back? Did your teammate find it?"

"I found it! It's Mikoto from the Uchiha family and the Hinata family on a day trip."

Orochimaru looked away from the instrument, and glanced at Nawaki with great interest.

"Haha... I didn't expect that your appetite is so big! Do you want to use the people from these two families to control the voice of the village in the future?"

Sheng Shu looked at the teacher's eyes and didn't flinch at all.

"Teacher should know, since I have that power, there is no way out, right?"

Orochimaru put down the work in his hands, and nodded to Naoki with satisfaction.

"Okay! You are worthy of being my disciple of Orochimaru. It seems that the awakening of Mu Dun has brought you not only strength, but also a change in your way of thinking!"

"This is very good! It seems that the teacher will not treat you as a child in the future!"

Naoki's heart tightened, thinking that Orochimaru had seen something from his behavior today, and he was quietly relieved when he heard his praise later.

"Shengshu, you should know about the experiment in the village, right?"

Naoki had information about this matter in his original memory, and nodded upon hearing that.

"I know! The members of the Senshou Clan died unexpectedly in the village one by one. Grandma Mito couldn't hide these things!"

"It's for Grandpa's wooden escape!"

Orochimaru nodded, and handed a document to Nakoki.

"Yes, Mu Dun!"

"have a look!"

Sheng Shu took the file and flipped through it roughly. It was the data he obtained from his physical examination today.

"This experiment was proposed by the second-generation Hokage-sama, in order to pass on the power of Mu Dun after the death of the first-generation master."

"But all the Qianshou people who participated in this experiment died, and no one could withstand the erosion of the cells of the first-generation adults. So later, this experiment was stopped by the second-generation adults!"

"Someone approached me today, hoping that I could participate in restarting this plan."

Nakoki's pupils shrank, and it seemed that after the death of the second grandfather, that guy Danzo began to have some thoughts in his heart.

"I declined! Because the teacher already has you, doesn't he?"

Orochimaru looked at the nervous disciple, shook his head and said his choice.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Zhishu knew that Orochimaru was protecting him, and was a little moved in his heart, and bowed to Orochimaru.

"It's almost time for dinner."

"Rose Tree, separate two shadow clones and inform your two teammates to gather at the No. 0 training ground at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. I want to see their strength and see if they are worthy of you."

Orochimaru arranged tomorrow's plan and smiled at Naoki.

"You can have a meal with the teacher! I still have something to tell you."

The rope tree nodded and formed the seal of the wooden clone.Orochimaru looked at the seal formed by the rope tree, frowned slightly and interrupted the rope tree's movement.

"An ordinary shadow clone will do. Don't use Demujutsu in the village. There are rats everywhere in Konoha at night..."

Naoshu immediately understood the meaning of the teacher's words. He canceled the seal of the wooden clone on his hand, summoned two ordinary shadow clones, and disappeared into the night with a few leaps.

The two came to Konoha Street together, found a barbecue restaurant with private rooms, and ordered some barbecue and a bottle of sake.Not long after, the wine and dishes were served, Sheng Shu picked up the wine and poured a glass for Dashewan, and sat quietly opposite.

Dashemaru showed a smile on his face, took a sip from his cup, and let out a soft breath.

"Shengshu, since you know what your future goal is, you must master the information in the village. How much do you know about the current village?"

Rope Tree shook his head.

"I just have a general understanding, basically from Mito's grandma and sister. The details are not so clear."

Shengshu can't tell Orochimaru that he has seen Hokage and knows the situation in the village very well, right?Besides, the information revealed at the comic exhibition is limited after all, this is a real world, and no one can tell if there is any deviation in the middle.

Orochimaru was not surprised. He still had too little contact with the rope tree. Even though he had a certain strength, his age and vision limited what he could come into contact with.

"Then the teacher will teach you the first lesson of graduating from ninja school, intelligence!"

"If you want to become the leader of a force, you must have your own way to obtain information at any time."

"For example, the second generation established Anbu."

"But your age and seniority are not enough to get you in touch with Anbu, and those people will not obey the orders of a brat."

"So, you have to choose another way!"

Naoshu nodded with deep understanding.Obtaining information is always a top priority in the world of ninjas.From genin battles to gods’ fights in the later stages, the role of intelligence is immeasurable.

"The teacher thinks how should I obtain information?"

Sheng Shu graciously filled the wine glass for Orochimaru, and asked humbly.

Orochimaru picked up the cup and stretched out three fingers with his right hand.

"There are three ways!"

"First: Use the transformation technique to sneak into the place where you want to obtain information."

"Second: Place an informant next to the target you want to detect."

Naoshu frowned, feeling that neither method was suitable.Important places in Konoha Village generally have detection barriers. It is difficult for ordinary transformation techniques to escape the detection of the barriers, and the efficiency of transformation techniques to sneak in is extremely low.

As for the second method, it is even more undesirable. Konoha has been established for so many years, and spies from various forces have already penetrated into every corner of the village.No one can tell whether the person you want to incite rebellion is an informant of ANBU or other forces.If you act rashly, you may be deceived by false information.

"What about the third one?"

"The third one is also the one I recommend the most."

"Sign up with a group of psychic beasts and let those less conspicuous ninja beasts be your eyes."

Orochimaru put down his wine glass, looked at Naoki with a smile, and his eyes were full of the look of coming and begging me.

Shengshu suddenly realized, and he also understood the teacher's arrogance in his heart.

"Tch! If you want to give me spiritism, don't just say it directly. It's such a big circle, you're so arrogant!"

But with an excited expression on his face, he grabbed Orochimaru's hand.

"Teacher, please teach me psychic skills!"

Orochimaru spread his hands and said: "Psychicism is simple, but you need to think clearly about the goal of the contract. I, Jiraiya, and Tsunade are the contractors of the three holy places respectively. Which holy place do you want to sign with? Where’s the contract?”

"The snakes in Ryūchi Cave, the slugs in the Shiggy Bone Forest, or the frogs in Myoboku Mountain?"

"Ding!"

"The host triggers a new choice."

"Option 1: Sign a psychic contract with Longdi Cave. Reward: Longdi Cave Immortal Art (Elementary)"

"Option 2: Sign a psychic contract with Wetbone Forest. Reward: Wetbone Forest Immortal Art (Elementary)"

"Option 3: Sign a psychic contract with Mt. Miaomu. Reward: Mt. Miaoshu Immortal Technique (Elementary)"

The choices and rewards given by the system are simple and crude. No matter which one you choose, you can transform from an ordinary ninja to an immortal.

But there is actually only one choice before Shengshu!

The suggestion given by Orochimaru, on the surface, is to let Nakoki make his own choice, but it actually has a deeper meaning inside.

If Shengshu didn't choose Longdidong, then the relationship between him and Shengshu would only be maintained at the level of master and apprentice in the future.

And if Naoki chooses Ryuji Cave, Orochimaru will regard Naoki as his true successor, and will stand behind Naoki without reservation in the future.

Living in this intriguing world, everyone's purpose is not too pure.The fragile relationship between master and apprentice will be broken at any time once encountering differences in ideas or other aspects.

Only two people who bind their interests and future together will always be closely connected.

Orochimaru escorted Naoshu in the early stage, allowing him to absorb enough nutrients from himself to grow into a towering tree.

And when Naoki reached the peak, it was the moment when Orochimaru was rewarded.

Orochimaru will never forget his young self, kneeling in front of his parents' graves and tortured himself.

"Why do people die? What is the meaning of life?"

From the moment Orochimaru came into contact with power, his goal has never changed.

eternal life!

It's just that he buried it deeply in his heart, working hard, searching, and waiting...

Now that Shengshu and Mutun appeared in front of him, how could he let go of this opportunity to get in touch with a better future?

He wants to give himself a hope, and at the same time give Shengshu a choice and a future for himself!

Sheng Shu looked at the deep expectation contained in the teacher's eyes, and spoke simultaneously in the system and in front of Orochimaru.

"I choose...Ryuji Cave!"

Orochimaru's pupils dilated slightly, with a comforting smile on his face.

"Okay! Tomorrow morning, I will bring you the psychic contract scroll of Longdi Cave, let's eat!"

The system's prompt sounded in my mind at the same time.

"The host has made a choice."

"Signed a psychic contract with Longdi Cave, reward: Longdi Cave Immortal Technique (Elementary), has been issued. Please check with the host."
