Naruto: Kakashi is back with the system

"Is the old man in there now?"

The next morning, in the Hokage's office on the top floor of the Hokage's office building in the center of Konoha, Orochimaru casually asked the Chunin guarding the door.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, please come in."

The ninja guarding the gate opened the door for Orochimaru very respectfully and let him in, without any intention of going in to report.

If it were someone else, the performance of this gatekeeping ninja would be quite dereliction of duty.

Not only did he leak the whereabouts of the top leader, the Hokage, at will, he also let people into the Hokage's office without informing anyone.

You know, there are a lot of very important information and confidential documents in the Hokage's office.

Even if the Hokage is not around, there will always be Anbu protecting in the dark.

However, no one stepped forward to stop Orochimaru.

Because Orochimaru is different from others.

He is the disciple of the Third Hokage.

Ever since the Second Hokage created the system of one teacher taking three students, ninja schools have followed this system.

Although, not all teachers have students, and not all students have a jonin guidance teacher.

After all, Konoha at that time was still mainly based on family unity.

However, as a student of the Second Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, now the Third Hokage, must take the lead and set an example.

Therefore, he accepted three disciples from that graduating class, who are now the three ninjas of Konoha.

When Orochimaru came in, the Third Hokage was practicing calligraphy, and his cursive writing was very beautiful.

"Old man, do you seem to have a lot of free time?" Orochimaru asked casually.

The master-disciple relationship is a very close one. The apprentice is like the teacher's own child, and sometimes even closer than biological children.

The Third Hokage was not angry at Orochimaru's rudeness, because in his opinion, this was a sign of Orochimaru's closeness to him.

Whether it is the name or the tone.

"Oh, it's Orochimaru. How can I be old? I'm not even fifty years old. I'm in the prime of my life!" The Third Hokage retorted nonchalantly.

“Your mentality is old.”

The Third Hokage did not dwell on this issue any more. He regarded this title as Orochimaru's nickname for him.

Old man, what an intimate name, why should he correct it?

"What do you want to see me about?"

The Third Hokage knew that Orochimaru was not the kind of person who liked to keep in touch with others no matter what, unlike Jiraiya.

He is the kind of person who never comes to visit someone unless he has something to ask for.

Although Orochimaru was his most valued disciple and his favorite disciple, he still hoped that he could learn from Jiraiya.

Because Jiraiya is lively, sweet-talking, and can please people, but there is no need to mention his lustful nature.

"Nothing, just came to check on you. To see if you are too old to manage the people below."

Orochimaru still looked calm and composed in front of his teacher, but his words were like a stone thrown into the water, causing ripples.

The Third Hokage stopped writing and looked up at Orochimaru, who was leaning against the window looking at the scenery.

"Why, who offended you?"

"Not really. I just want to trouble you to remind someone not to stretch your hand too far, as it's easy to be interrupted!" At the end, Orochimaru's slightly hoarse voice sounded a little cold.

"Someone danced in front of you?" The Third Hokage threw the brush in his hand back into the pen holder on the table, his voice becoming a little cold.

His disciple has always been devoted to research and doesn't like those things of fighting for power and profit. If he came to him to complain, then the situation must be very serious.

"Hmm--" Orochimaru responded meaninglessly.

In fact, it was not that serious, at least not as serious as the Third Hokage imagined. It was just that Orochimaru did not want his next research plan to be exposed, so he cleared out the spies around him in advance.

"It's almost time, old man. I'm going back now. I'll come see you again when I have time."

The purpose of coming to find the Third Hokage has been achieved, so there is naturally no need for Orochimaru to stay any longer.

He also has to leave some space for his teacher to deal with the mess, right?

After all, he is the teacher's classmate, and if I do it myself, I will end up being inferior.

"Someone, go and get Danzo here."

As soon as Orochimaru left, the Third Hokage asked someone to call Danzo over. He wanted to ask him what Danzo was going to do.

"Yes."

Orochimaru, who had not yet walked far from the door, couldn't help but sneer when he heard the noise in the house.

He knew that his teacher was angry at the moment, but he did so before he had walked far, mostly for his own benefit.

He wanted to tell himself through this action that he, as a master, still valued his disciple very much.

However, the final result will not change much.

As a teacher, he was always too soft-hearted towards his own people, and a little too soft-hearted, which was why Tuan Zang always got the upper hand.

However, today the teacher called Danzo over to give him a warning, which at least helped him to be more restrained, and that was enough.

Even though Orochimaru calls the Third Hokage "old man" and "old man" all day long, he actually respects this teacher very much in his heart.

The position of the Third Hokage in his mind is the same as that of his father, with the same respect and care.

Humans are very contradictory creatures, just like Orochimaru.

Although he always said that the Third Hokage had an old mentality and was too soft-hearted.

But in fact, what touched him most was the kindness of the Third Hokage. He was just trying his best to prevent the Third Hokage from being hurt by his own kindness.

Orochimaru will always remember the conversation in front of the memorial tablet that year.

War is always cruel and requires blood and lives to fill.

Unfortunately, his parents were just insignificant victims in the meat grinder of war.

"You're lucky you found it! This is the skin shed by the white snake."

"That's a rare and precious thing that's hard to come by."

"The white snake is a symbol of luck and rebirth~"

"Perhaps your parents are also reincarnating somewhere, so that they can reunite with you when you grow up one day."

The teacher's words were so gentle, not at all like what the ninja doctor who killed everyone on the battlefield would say.

That's why he works so hard!

Only by becoming strong enough can you protect your teacher and the people and things you want to protect.

Orochimaru could not forget the sight of his disciple Nawaki being blown to pieces by the explosive talisman, nor could he forget Tsunade's grief-stricken look when he was killed.

He is still not strong enough. If he were strong enough, would Danzo dare to do these little tricks in front of him and the teacher?

(Danzo: Believe me, I dare!)

Orochimaru, immersed in memories of the past, was eventually awakened by the noisy crowd around him.

"Hey, have you heard?"
