In the next four generations of Naruto Orochimaru

Fire Country, Konoha Village.

Two days ago, the village received news that the Third Hokage led the Konoha Ninja to a hearty victory!

This battle marked the end of the Second Ninja War that Konoha would usher in as the victorious nation.

In just two days, the village took on a new look. Everywhere was cleaned by the villagers, and the main road used to welcome returning ninjas was decorated with lights.

After receiving the news that the ninjas would return to the village today, the villagers ignored the biting cold wind in winter. In the early morning, many people were at the gate ready to welcome the Third Hokage and others.

After several consultants arranged the order of the scene and other issues, they prepared to greet them at the door with Tsunade and Sarutobi Biwako.

"Here we come!" a Hyuga ninja said with his eyes wide open.

The range of the Byakugan can see scenes one kilometer away, which is very short for a ninja.

Not long after, Sarutobi Hiruzen's figure appeared in people's sight.

Beside him were the two generals Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo, and behind him were a group of returning Konoha ninjas.

"oh~"

People cheered and became excited.

"Look! That's Lord White Fang! It's said that people in Sunagakure Village will give up their mission and run away if they see him!"

"Orochimaru-sama is so awesome! It is said that he made great achievements in this battle. I heard that the third generation will choose him to be the fourth generation!"

"Where did you hear the news, didn't it say that Lord Sakumo was going to be chosen?"

"How did I hear it was Tsunade-sama?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen rarely smoked today. He smiled and nodded to Koharu and Mito who were sleeping, then pointed at Orochimaru, indicating that he and Orochimaru should hand over, and walked towards Lake Biwa.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up Asuma from the arms of Biwako, who was flanked by his eldest son and daughter-in-law, both of whom served in the ANBU.

In Asuma's disgusted eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen kissed Asuma with his bearded face.

Asuma is three years old, one year older than White Fang's son Kakashi.

Sakumo couldn't wait to take his son from his wife and let Kakashi ride on his neck.

Tsunade took a little girl to Orochimaru who had finished handing over to Mito Monobu, looked around, and asked:

"Where's Jiraiya? Did you go to the bathhouse early to take a peek?"

This is indeed what Jiraiya would do.

"Remember that prophecy? He seems to be bound to his future by that prophecy."

Orochimaru replied.

Tsunade dragged her chin and thought for a while before remembering.

"The so-called savior? Even a man as powerful as grandpa cannot achieve true peace. Is it possible that the savior is more powerful than grandpa?"

Tsunade shook his head.

Orochimaru nodded in agreement and continued:

"Long-term peace cannot be achieved by relying solely on pure strength, so after the Warring States Period ended in the first generation, we started from the institutional perspective and established a one-country-one-village system. However, it did not succeed and instead expanded the scale of the war. As long as the disputes over interests reached To the extent that mediation is impossible, the emergence of war is inevitable.”

"But fortunately, the war is over, and there should be a long period of peace."

Tsunade looked at the smiles on the faces of the ninjas reunited with their families and said that these smiles were obtained by the sacrifices of countless ninjas, including Dan.

Orochimaru did not reply. Although the final result of the Second Ninja World War was the same as that of the original time and space, it was ended prematurely.

Without enough intelligence and after sorting it out, Orochimaru could not judge whether the Ninja War would break out again just a few years after the end of World War II as before.

"Has the result of what I asked you come to fruition?"

There was nothing strange on Tsunade's face.

"There are many people here, let's talk about it later."

Orochimaru replied, Tsunade knew there might be someone behind the scenes here.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had finished making out with his family, walked towards a small temporary raised platform, and the scene gradually became quiet.

"Where the leaves are flying, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and allow the new leaves to sprout..."

The third generation began to give a long speech again. Tsunade felt sleepy as soon as she heard it, and she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Orochimaru's eyes gradually turned into dead fish eyes, and he began to wander...

"Five years, the Second Ninja War lasted for five years! Villagers, do you know how I lived these five years..."

A series of Zs were already floating on Tsunade's head, but Orochimaru, who was distracted and observing the surroundings, saw the ideal light shining in Sakumo's eyes...

Looking at other people, including several consultants, there are quite a few people who have been brainwashed by the Will of Fire, but how many of them are just acting depends on the beholder.

"In recognition of their outstanding contributions in the war, the treatment of all ninjas who went to the battlefield of the Land of Rain has been increased! The pensions of ninjas who died in the war will be doubled!"

There was cheering from below.

"In addition, I would also like to highlight the two people who made great contributions in this ninja war. They are both the most outstanding young ninjas in the village! I am very happy that there are successors in the village."

Mitarai Zixiao poked Orochimaru's back to remind him that it's almost time for you.

"Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, come forward!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted downwards.

Orochimaru and Sakumo both stepped onto the makeshift platform.Just here Sarutobi Hiruzen lifted a corner of the Hokage God's robe, activated the wind chakra in his hand, and cut out two red and white strips.

"I will personally tie the Hokage armband for you. I hope you can continue to stick to the will of fire of the first Hokage and protect Konoha!"

Sakumo and Orochimaru each stretched out an arm and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen to tie an armband on his arm.

"Carrying the name of White Fang and the Hokage armband, I will protect Konoha with my life!"

Hatake Sakumo's sonorous and powerful voice came out.

Hatake Sakumo had already said it, and he had to say something.

This time, the third generation is clearly hinting to the outside world that the two of them are candidates for the fourth generation, but I don’t know how much of them are just invitations to buy people’s hearts.

"I still say the same thing, I will make Konoha great again!"

Orochimaru couldn't think of anything else for a while, so he repeated what he said when he came out last time, and shouted while making accordion gestures.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction and announced the end.

Looking at Hatake Sakumo's eyes full of fighting spirit, it was obvious that he regarded himself as his opponent, Orochimaru felt helpless.

However, this time, both Sakumo's and his own prestige in the village have greatly increased. More ninjas will inevitably move closer to him and others. If done properly, it may not be unable to attract investment from those ninjas. Those who do scientific research like Orochimaru will not. When there is no shortage of money.

Although those ninjas are more likely to bet on both ends.

……

In the evening, the Konoha Izakaya was still the same one as last time, but this time there was missing Jiraiya.

"Sorry, I'm late, there are a lot of things."

Orochimaru and Tsunade had an appointment in the afternoon, but after the commendation in the morning, many people pestered him, including his former classmates and ninjas who had surrendered to him, and they couldn't get away for a while.

Looking at the wine bottles on the table, Orochimaru felt a little sorry.

"It's okay, I understand. There are a lot of people pestering you and leaning towards you now."

As the granddaughter of the first Hokage, Tsunade is known as the slug princess of Konoha. She has been surrounded by opportunists since she was a child. She can understand Orochimaru's current situation.

"Is the breaking thing very difficult?"

"The person who betrayed the information was either the person in charge of the ANBU or the higher-ups in the village. If the ANBU was too secretive, the teacher wouldn't let anyone get involved. If it was a higher-up, it would be even more troublesome. In that case, even the teacher who is the Hokage The impact will also be taken into consideration.”

Orochimaru had already guessed who it was, but he had no proof.

What's more, even if there is evidence, Hiruzen Sarutobi is probably more on the side of his old friends than his disciples, and in the end he can only let it go.

"Is that so..."

Tsunade frowned nicely and drank another bottle of wine.

"There is no need to rush this matter. If it is really the fault of a high-level official, then it would take years to bring down a high-level official in the village."

Orochimaru noticed that many people were paying attention to this area. The two Sannin were still very eye-catching, not to mention that he had made a big splash in the morning.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Tsunade hopes that time can speed up a bit, so she plans to give Orochimaru some help.

Orochimaru was overjoyed. Although Tsunade had lost all the money she earned from her missions in gambling, as the most direct descendant of the Senju clan, she must have inherited a large amount of inheritance from the first and second generations. These inheritances were not only It's just as simple as money, but there are many things that cannot be measured by money, such as connections, ninjutsu, intelligence, knowledge, etc.

"I need connections from the Thousand Hands Clan to help me detect information."

"can!"

"I need to learn your medical ninjutsu to improve my status in the village."

Orochimaru taught himself medical ninjutsu for a period of time in order to do biological research. His level was not low, but it was far from comparable to Tsunade.Tsunade agreed without hesitation.

"Finally I need a batch of equipment..."

"Asshole Orochimaru, do these devices have anything to do with what I want you to help me with?"

Orochimaru smiled. His demands were getting more and more excessive, and he seemed to be pushing the envelope a bit.

"I'll give it to you, Orochimaru!"

Tsunade said suddenly.

"Ok?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade's eyes and understood that she wanted him to do his best to help her, and the price was these expensive experimental equipment.
