Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

After hearing this, Sheng Shu was slightly stunned.

“Is this still an option?”

"Of course, just like Ninjutsu is divided into Taijutsu, Genjutsu and Shurikenjutsu."

Orochimaru said patiently, "So far, what is the ninjutsu that you are best at or that you most want to develop?"

Although he is Nawaki's teacher, due to the coming of the war, Orochimaru does not know much about his nominal student.

Now that Sheng Shu wants to become stronger, he must first understand what kind of potential he has that can be tapped.

“I want to develop this!”

Make the Rope Tree Seal and then slap it on the small stool!

Crunchy——

The small bench seemed to have mutated and began to grow tiny branches, which then spread around.

"This is!"

Orochimaru's eyes widened.

The legendary Wood Release!

I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes.

The bloodline limit that even Tsunade has not awakened, Nawaki has awakened!

but……

"call!"

Sheng Shu wiped his sweat.

"How's it going, Orochimaru-sensei?"

There was some anticipation in his eyes.

This time, the use of Wood Release was obviously smoother than before, and much more powerful.

There are three branches growing out of the small bench!

Although it is slowly fading now...

"Um……"

Orochimaru remained silent and thought for a long time before answering.

"You do have this ability, but it is indeed a little too weak..."

"However, I have a research topic here. If you can cooperate, it may be able to enhance some of my strength."

He thought of the Hashirama cells he had obtained.

What would happen if my bloodline merged with that of Rope Tree?

Just thinking about this, Orochimaru couldn't wait to do an experiment.

"Of course!"

When Sheng Shu heard that he could become stronger, he became excited.

"So what are we waiting for? Orochimaru-sensei!"

"Haha... don't worry. I'm going to negotiate in a minute. Before that, you should adjust your condition to the best, especially practice the Shadow Clone Technique. In order to minimize the risk, I'm going to do experiments on your Shadow Clone."

"I understand! I will definitely work hard to practice! I will definitely not let you down!"

"Then I wish you to become stronger soon. I'm going out now. You can move around freely first and come back when I call you."

"Ok!"

After saying goodbye to Nawaki, Orochimaru picked up the relevant agreements and some documents, put them all into his bag, and walked out of the tent.

Outside the tent, the people who were going to attend the signing of the peace agreement with Orochimaru had already gathered.

Choza and Bokume Kōto were among them, as well as Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, who came from Konoha to witness the event as the Hokage's agents.

"Orochimaru, long time no see."

Both of them are high-ranking officials of Konoha and are veterans. They actually have some prejudices against Orochimaru, but at the moment, Orochimaru's performance in this war is very perfect, so they can only be polite.

"It's been a long time since we last met, my Lords."

Orochimaru was not a rebellious person. After responding politely, he led everyone to the negotiation site that he had agreed with Sand Village.

At the negotiation site, Luo Sha had been waiting for a long time.

Those who were with him were all his direct descendants.

He is also the Third Hokage, and the talents he trained early on are now of great use to him.

Although the appointment was made in advance, they were after all the disadvantaged party in the war, and they needed peace more, so Luo Sha and the Sand Ninjas had been waiting for a while.

And the Konoha ninja is still nowhere to be seen.

This made these Sand Ninjas feel a little uneasy.

"Why haven't those people from Konoha arrived yet?"

"They won't regret it, will they?"

"If that's the case, why don't we take the initiative..."

"Quiet."

When the situation was about to get out of control, Luo Sha spoke lightly, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

No one dared to disobey him.

Although his strength is not as strong as the Third Kazekage, he holds the most important production resources in his hands.

Gold sand!

If you make Luo Sha unhappy and fail to get the allocated quota, then you will really be left with nothing!

"They're already here."

Luo Sha raised his eyes and looked at the forest in the distance.

There, Orochimaru slowly appeared with everyone from Konoha.

"Is this the opponent that Granny Chiyo has been facing?"

This was the first time that Rasa met Orochimaru. Their eyes met. The awe-inspiring aura and faint threat emanating from the other person made him immediately alert.

"interesting."

Looking at Rasa opposite him, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

The amount of chakra on this person is terrifying, and his aura is also sufficient, but if he is the Third Kazekage, he is too young.

So... is he the next generation successor to the Kazekage?

It is very likely the Fourth Kazekage!

He is someone I will deal with after I become Hokage.

It’s better to build good relations now.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru walked up, extended his hand in a friendly manner, and introduced himself.

"Orochimaru."

"Luo Sha."

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"It's all worth it for the peace agreement to be signed."

"Hehe... I'm a little curious, why don't you meet Grandma Chiyo?"

"She was old and had a bad temper. She was also emotionally unstable because she lost her relatives in the war, so she went back."

"I see. I guess you must have put a lot of effort behind the scenes to sign the peace agreement."

"Same here, why don't we go in and talk?"

"it is good."

During the conversation, Rasa was also observing Orochimaru.

It's hard to tell the depth of this person. Although he is very powerful, he has a sense of elegance and thinness and fragility.

Is this Orochimaru, the first disciple of the Third Hokage?

Not only was he powerful in ninjutsu, he was even better in strategy. In this war, he played a decisive role in helping Konoha gain the advantage.

With such achievements, he will most likely become the Fourth Hokage when he returns!

It seems that we need to build a good relationship first...

With a Hokage like this, Konoha will only become more difficult to deal with!

The mistakes of the Third Kazekage cannot be repeated again...

Luo Sha made up his mind.

As both sides were willing to make friends, the signing of the peace agreement went very smoothly.

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu sat nearby like mascots and did not express their opinions.

The same was true for the Sand Village side. In a harmonious atmosphere, the end of the war between Konoha and Sand Village was officially announced!

When the news of the ceasefire between Konoha and Sand Village spread.

Some cheered for the coming of peace, while others sighed over it.

Kusagakure Village, outside the village, underground gold exchange.

"Sorry, because of the truce, all these commissions are cancelled."

The receptionist at the money exchange had a look of regret on his face.

"Ah? Why did the war stop?"

Kakuzu, who was dressed as a wandering ninja, looked gloomy and said, "Does what I just completed still count?"

There were several sealing scrolls at his feet.

"Of course this counts. Please wait a moment. I will settle the bill for you."

As the most important employee of the gold exchange, Kakuzu naturally receives VIP treatment.

Soon, he walked out contentedly, carrying a bag of money and a new bounty order.
