Traveling through Naruto: I am the strongest rotten person!

After Hiruzen left, Danzo sat there for a long time.

He reviewed his entire life and found that everything else could be relieved, except that he couldn't become Hokage.

Hiruzen knew this about his thoughts, so that's why he said those words to himself.

Danzo shook his head. If he could be convinced so easily, would it still be him?

In his opinion, this was just some mercy and charity from Hiruzen as a superior.

"If I were Hokage, I could say such high-sounding words. If our identities were reversed, I don't believe you would be so content with the status quo. Hiruzen, if you were in my position, you would do the same thing."

He could lose to everyone, but he didn't want to lose to him. Hiruzen was his lifelong rival, even though the two of them had reached the age where they knew their destiny.

"Even if I only become Hokage for a few days, if I can't surpass you, at least I will stand on the same level as you."

This is what Danzo has never revealed to anyone for so many years. In the eyes of those who are familiar with him, he is a person who is full of ambitions for the position of Hokage, but no one knows why he is so persistent. Even None of the closest family members knew.

He believed that besides himself, Hiruzen, his eternal rival, also knew.

"Me, I am such a stubborn person."

After saying this softly, the loneliness disappeared from Danzo's eyes, and he returned to the sinister and ruthless man again.

go home?

No, he had a headache when he thought of his son who couldn't support him and his wife who seemed to have changed her gender in recent years. Even if he went back now, I'm afraid his wife wouldn't look good on him.

Danzo was a little depressed. His wife had always been as gentle as water, and she always followed him no matter what he said. What was going on now?

Since you don't want to go home, then go do something serious.

Danzo was walking on the road. Night was beginning to fall. After the sun set, the heat in the air dissipated, and a faint coolness gradually appeared.

The night breeze carries the fragrance of vegetation and flowers, which makes you feel refreshed.

In an underground laboratory on the edge of Orochimaru's village, two former allies met again.

When Danzo went there, Orochimaru was huddled in his exclusive room for infusion. Seeing Danzo appear, Orochimaru raised his pale and bloodless face and looked at him defensively.

At this time, Orochimaru looked very weak. He seemed to have been seriously injured, giving people the illusion that he was weak and unable to take care of himself.

Danzo was surprised that he could see Orochimaru like this, and Orochimaru was also surprised by Danzo's sudden appearance.

He frowned, and the sweat on his forehead accidentally slipped from his temples and disappeared silently into his clothes the moment it left his chin.

At this time, if Danzo did not practice martial ethics and launched a sneak attack, he would be in great trouble. Orochimaru mentally calculated the probability that Danzo would take action.

He has never trusted anyone, not even his allies.

Disloyalty, backstabbing, and betrayal for profit are all too common in this ninja world. Orochimaru himself is such a person. In his opinion, everyone is the same. Why should Danzo be an exception?

If he wanted to heal with peace of mind when his body was weak, he needed to find an absolutely safe place. Perhaps no one came usually, so he neglected that besides himself, Danzo could enter the laboratory.

Perhaps it was because the two hadn't met here for a long time that Orochimaru ignored this.

Danzo did not take action as Orochimaru thought. Orochimaru was still useful to him at present, and he could not take action against someone who was useful to him.

Sitting down on a chair not far away, Danzo raised the corners of his mouth in a rare move and showed a smile.

"You look a little embarrassed, Orochimaru." Today's Orochimaru seems different from before, but he can't tell the specific differences. He has long black hair, too white skin, and lavender oil paint. Wrapped black eyes...

Orochimaru tried his best to appear in a better state, but even so, his pale face and fine beads of sweat revealed his state clearly.

"Danzo-sama isn't here just to care about my personal situation, is he?"

"Do you need me to find a reliable medical ninja?"

"..."

Orochimaru said nothing, but his eyes suddenly changed.

The refusal was so obvious that he should be able to handle the situation at hand. Thinking of this, Danzo ignored his discomfort.

He said straight to the point: "You should have heard about the war between Konoha and Kirigakure. The war between the two sides is very tense now. Hiruzen has sent a large team of troops to support and will leave in two days."

Seeing that Orochimaru didn't speak, Danzo's tone had obvious regret. He glanced at Orochimaru up and down, and he hummed.

"I thought you might be able to go to the front lines to suppress Minato's reputation and rub off his energy, but it seems that's not possible now."

"Is Danzo-sama still so afraid of that child?" In Orochimaru's impression, Danzo always seemed to pay special attention to and be wary of Jiraiya's little disciple.

It has to be said that as a ninja, Minato's ability level exceeds that of most people. He works hard and has high talent. He is a rare genius. However, how old he is and how big Danzo is, so caring and fearing him is really a bit low.

However, Orochimaru is not an idiot, and he will not say such things clearly.

"Hiruzhan is no longer young. It is only a matter of time before he gives up the position of Hokage. I am similar to him in age. When he steps down as Hokage, I am afraid that I will not be able to be Hokage anymore. This is a helpless but... It’s a very real issue.”

Orochimaru listened quietly. How much Danzo cared about Hokage's position was almost to the point of madness. Why was he suddenly so open-minded now?

"However, Minato is too young. He is simply not capable of shouldering the important task of being the Shadow of a Village. Even if he becomes the Hokage, he will still be Hiruzen's puppet."

Orochimaru had no interest at all in who became Hokage. In the past, most of his interactions with Danzo were for those experimental subjects and his research on immortality and ninjutsu. It had little to do with anything else. He didn't understand why today , Danzo would suddenly tell him this.

"Maybe it won't be Minato. There is also Sakumo-senpai. There are good candidates in the big family. Minato may not be the candidate for Hokage."

"You are too naive." Danzo said, he showed a confused look and said: "Don't you still understand the current situation? You won't stay underground for a long time, and you won't even have any sensitivity to the outside world. Bar?"

These words were naked sarcasm. Orochimaru narrowed his narrow eyes and curled the corners of his mouth in a smile, but his face was obviously colder than before, and there was a vague hint of danger.

Sensing Orochimaru's dissatisfaction, Danzo sneered, "Don't think who becomes Hokage has little to do with you, just look at Jiraiya."

No one has mentioned Jiraiya's name in his ears for a long time. It has only been two or three years, but hearing it again feels like a lifetime ago.

Where are Jiraiya and... and Tsunade now, and what did they do?

Danzo continued, "I guess Jiraiya knows something about the research you did. You know his attitude towards this better than I do. Let's put it this way, compared to the two of us, Jiraiya is He is an upright person. Do you think a student taught by such an upright person will leave you alone?"

The answer is obviously no.

Orochimaru raised his eyes to look at Danzo, and finally smelled something unusual in his words. He asked, "What exactly did you come to see me for today?"

Danzo smiled meaningfully, making his serious face even more strange.

"I want to train you to be the fourth Hokage." He said.
