Naruto Orochimaru: I must win this time

38 years of Konoha

On this day, Orochimaru left the Tsunade family's residence and returned to his long-lost cabin.

But as soon as I got home, before I sat down, someone came to the door.

"Lord Orochimaru, the Third Hokage invites you!"

An ANBU ninja came outside Orochimaru's house, and a voice that could not be refused came from under the mask.

"Sarutobi-sensei? I haven't seen him for a long time."

Orochimaru did not shirk. This was the first time he was summoned by the Hokage since he came to this world.

Last time at Kato Dan's funeral, we only met briefly and didn't have much communication.

In the original impression, his Hokage teacher was a conservative, pedantic, but good at playing politics.

Under his leadership in these years, although Konoha has not had any major disasters, it has also not experienced any major development.

Balancing the power of the major families and suppressing the major families is his limit.

Throughout his life, there were no outstanding achievements or outstanding achievements.

Except for being on the battlefield during the First World War, I have not personally gone into battle in recent years, let alone led troops to fight.

As for a series of titles such as "The Strongest Hokage in History, Professor of Ninjutsu", they are all used to intimidate foreign enemies. Just listen to them and don't take them seriously.

His ability was mediocre, and he tolerated Danzo's wanton behavior, even if Danzo sent someone to assassinate him.

Danzo sent someone to take away Kakashi's Sharingan but was caught red-handed, and did not deal with Danzo afterwards.

Not to mention teaming up with other high-level officials of Konoha to conspire to bloodbath Uchiha. Such a person really makes Orochimaru dislike him.

As for the only bright spot during his reign, he proposed a team model in which one jounin leads three graduated genin. In Orochimaru's opinion, this is the only one that can do it.

He quickly ran through his past and present views on the Third Hokage in his mind, and soon arrived at the Hokage Building.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

Without closing the door, Orochimaru went straight to the Hokage's office.

"Yeah! I heard that you are doing biological research recently?"

It seemed that someone was coming. Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped what he was doing and looked up at Orochimaru, his sharp eyes seeming to see through everything about him.

The moment their eyes met, Orochimaru also felt the pressure of the aura from the superior.

"Yes, I suddenly became interested in this area, just to pass the boring time."

Orochimaru couldn't tell him that he had seen too many separations between life and death and wanted to explore immortality and pursue the mysteries of life.

If you say this, you will either be said to be ambitious, or you will be regarded as a lunatic.

You are all adults. You said that you saw too many vehicles on the road and wanted to study spacecraft and travel in space. Why not go to the sky?

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care whether what he said was true or false. Obviously the process was not important, the result was what he wanted.

"The village decided to set up a research group to be responsible for the research, development, integration and application of the first generation Hokage cells."

As soon as these words came out, Orochimaru's pupils shrank. He thought that this project would not be put on the schedule for another two years, but he did not expect to start so early.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied with Orochimaru's reaction, and then continued:

"I want you to be the leader of this research group. There are already volunteers in the village signing up. Are you confident?"

In the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru is talented, smart since he was a child, and has a high talent for academics, and it was recently discovered that he was conducting clinical trials.

After discussions with Konoha's top brass, it was unanimously agreed that Orochimaru would be the most suitable person to conduct this research project.

After experiencing World War I and World War II, Konoha has realized that if tailed beasts are used as war weapons and put into the battlefield, casualties will be greatly reduced, and it can also bring devastating blows to enemy ninjas.

Imagine that the two armies are fighting. Our side has a controllable tailed beast as a nuclear weapon, and the local government can only use lives to fill it. What an advantage this has.

But the best weapons to control the tailed beasts are the Wood Release and Sharingan of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama.

Ignoring the Sharingan for now, the Uchiha clan will not let Konoha use their clan's eyes for research.

The most suitable one is Wooden Release. The First Hokage is not only one of their own, but the preserved Wooden Release Ninjutsu is also in their hands.

"Confidence is based on data. I can't guarantee it until I try it. After all, those are the cells of the first Hokage!"

Orochimaru was not sure. He knew how high the failure rate and mortality rate of this project was, and it was still unclear how far it could go.

"Well! Science is rigorous and your attitude is correct. You will be responsible for this project from now on. I hope you will not disappoint me as before!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen "Bata" took a puff of dry smoke, his eyes full of appreciation.

Next, Sarutobi Hiruzen explained many things to Orochimaru, including some confidential matters, personnel arrangements, etc.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Orochimaru already had a lot of information in his hands, including a list of volunteers and human body research information on the former Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.

These research materials can help Orochimaru avoid many detours. The Second Hokage is amazingly talented and has gone further than him on the road of human body research.

But the most important thing now is not to look at this information, but to look at the system in my mind.

Just now when Hiruzen Sarutobi asked him to do this research project, the system's beep sounded.

"The detection of the host triggers the plot of the plane: the research of Hashirama cells. You have the following options.

1. Accept research projects. Scientists always face difficulties. You will be rewarded with the Sky Ghost Escape (Xingzhuan).

2. Refuse to study and live a peaceful life, and you will be rewarded with a halo of justice. "

Faced with these two options, Orochimaru naturally chose to accept it without hesitation. The top management of Konoha had already discussed it, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had brought the information to him. Could he refuse?

There was no need to do such a thankless task as offending everyone at once. He still had to stay in Konoha to trigger the plot, so he still had to take a wider road.

What's more, does the aura of justice in the second option purify him? Fame is of no use to Orochimaru, so let's be more practical!

"Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Space Escape Technique - Heavenly Ghost Escape (Sound Turn), (Note: As a scientist, you must run fast when the laboratory explodes)."

Although Orochimaru didn't know what Tenki Dunkong was like, he still knew Hibiki.

As a footwork unique to the world of Xu in the previous anime "Bleach", it has surpassed Shunpo's method of approaching the enemy with explosive power.

Xiangzhuan is a space skill that can avoid nerve detection and is very helpful in medium and long-distance battles. It can quickly approach the enemy and can easily reach it no matter what direction or angle it is.
