Naruto's Shulker Snake

Another three days later.

Konoha's defense-changing ninja troops arrived in Tianno Country and handed over to Orochimaru and the others. The Sannin, Naoki and others returned to the village together.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen's order was to only bring back Naoki and Tsunade, while Orochimaru and Jiraiya also needed to continue to stay as a powerful fighting force.

At this very sensitive time, many people do not want the three of them to come back at the same time, especially the Presbyterian Council, or in other words Koharu and Mito Kadoyan who have moved to another dormitory.

However, in the end Sarutobi Hiruzen acquiesced because Danzo secretly contributed. He discussed with Sarutobi and others, wrangling, negotiating, and maneuvering around each other. The fastest network update PC version:..

In the end, three of Danzo's own disciples, Shigesaku Hatake, were stationed in Tianno Country as replacements to resist the Sand Ninja.

As for Danzo being able to personally handle such a thankless matter, there is only one reason.

This was one of Orochimaru's conditions.

The three ninjas returned at the same time, which invisibly built momentum for the Senju clan. Although Koharu and Men Yan objected, they could only watch helplessly.

The return of the rope tree and the Sannin was very low-key, and even the villagers didn't know that it might be Sarutobi's intention to have the ANBU ninja accompany him to protect the safety of the rope tree.

However, such a serious battle made Naoki couldn't help but have the illusion that he was not the new star of Konoha who awakened the wood escape, but was captured back to the village after absconding in fear of crime... The fastest mobile version of the network update :https:.

"Okay, you three are back too, let's talk about your plans."

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was wearing a god robe and puffing out smoke rings, looking like a leisurely and contented man.

He seems to have become accustomed to governing the village in this manner over the years. At least it can be seen that this Ninja War has not brought enough pressure on him and Konoha. Sarutobi still seems to be comfortable sitting on this throne.

"Hahaha, after staying outside for so many years, I only come back to see the teacher occasionally. I feel relieved to see that the teacher is still so wise and powerful."

Jiraiya smiled happily with Sarutobi and Sarutobi. Sarutobi was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Haha, Jiraiya is still so naughty."

He had been alone in this small office for too long, and Sarutobi hadn't been this happy for a long time.

Seeing his three disciples grow to this point, he couldn't help but feel gratified.

Konoha finally has a successor

"Tsunade, now that you are back, go to the clan and have a look. I have made things difficult for you for so many years. Maybe things will get better in the future."

Sarutobi looked at Tsunade who had become a slim figure and said quietly.

The death of Uzumaki Mito two years ago had a great impact on them. Now the people who are most eager to see the rope tree are the Senju clan, and Sarutobi is also a little distressed about them.

The rope tree is too irritating to them, so I hope they won't do anything excessive.

After the master and apprentice met, there was inevitably a long conversation. At this time, Sarutobi was at his peak, and the three ninjas had also grown up and were able to establish themselves as independent strong men in the ninja world.

At this moment, the relationship between them is no longer as simple and close as before, and some worries and problems can no longer be expressed freely.

Perhaps this is the change brought about by identity and growth. In comparison, the relationship between them is somewhat like the relationship between Senju Tobirama and Danzo and others back then.

Sarutobi started to examine and delegate more power to them...

"It's finally over, sister, what did Uncle Sarutobi tell you?"

Tsunade and Jiraiya came out of the Hokage's office, and Naoki, who had been waiting outside for a long time, rushed up again and again.

"Rose Tree, you must work hard in the future and never let everyone down."

Tsunade was in a good mood and rubbed Naoki's hairstyle vigorously.

"Damn...ouch..."

No matter what, Naoki couldn't break free from Tsunade's clutches, "By the way, where's Mr. Orochimaru?"

"That guy...he's still in there."

Tsunade snorted coldly and flicked Nawaki's forehead hard.

"it hurts"

"Okay, let's go back with my sister quickly."

The siblings left quickly. After leaving for such a long time, there were many things at home that Tsunade still needed to deal with.

"Really, what am I going to do when I come back..."

Jiraiya stood alone in the aisle, suddenly feeling a little redundant...

"By the way, I haven't collected materials for a long time, e°..."

In the Hokage's office, only Sarutobi and Orochimaru were left at this moment.

"Orochimaru, I think you must have something to say."

Sarutobi stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Orochimaru with some solemnity.

There is a tacit understanding between the two parties. Some things can only be discussed privately between the two of them, not even Tsunade and Jiraiya.

Orochimaru was his favorite and admired disciple, but he was a bit unfamiliar at the moment, and... it gave him a deep sense of threat.

Orochimaru, no matter before or now, he seems to be covered by a layer of mist. Even Sarutobi couldn't understand his true thoughts and purposes.

"Hehe, it was indeed my idea to transfer him back. I also asked Danzo to help him because I promised him to study the wood escape problem," Orochimaru said bluntly.

"What?" Sarutobi was shocked, "Is it you who has problems with rope tree escape..."

The aura on Sarutobi's body burst out involuntarily. At this moment, he couldn't help but guess whether the rope tree was the experimental subject of Danzo and Orochimaru, using the human body to experiment with the awakened wood escape.

"Hehe, teacher, you are too nervous. Naoki is a real genius, a ninja who can reach Lord Hashirama's level in the future. He is our real hope for the future of Konoha," Orochimaru explained calmly.

"...That's it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth opened slightly, "Hahaha, it seems I was too excited about what I just said."

He was silently relieved, but also surprised by Orochimaru's comment.

Sarutobi was basically aware of all the research Danzo had done and hated it deeply.

It's just that he usually resists exposing it and turns a blind eye.

He couldn't interfere. He knew that Danzo must have his own reasons for doing this, and it was a reason that was beneficial to Konoha. This was what Senju Tobirama had tacitly agreed to and explained back then.

But deep down in his heart, Sarutobi could never accept many of Danzo's actions and didn't want to even look at them.

In this case, Sarutobi chose to turn away his eyes, pretending not to see, not knowing

But he would never allow anyone else except Danzo to get involved.

Sometimes, Sarutobi feels that he is hypocritical and despicable

"I will send more people to secretly protect the rope tree." Sarutobi said seriously.

He trusted Orochimaru after all. Since Orochimaru said that the rope tree would be extraordinary in the future, Sarutobi Hiruzen had reason to believe it unconditionally.

"That's right, please don't take it lightly if you ask the teacher."

Orochimaru said seriously, "And next, I hope that the teacher will allow the three of us to return to the battlefield of the Land of Rain and join in the final decisive battle."

"What...is this your purpose?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked, "No wonder, no wonder you three want to come back with the rope tree... No, this should be your idea, and what exactly did you think about the final decisive battle?"

"I want to be simple. This war has been going on for too long, and I am a little impatient. I think neither Konoha nor anyone else can afford to delay it."

Orochimaru stared at Sarutobi and grinned, "The situation is getting clearer and clearer. The Land of Rain has become a climate, and from now on it will be a barrier between the five major countries. This is a good thing, isn't it, teacher?"

"Haha, maybe."

Seeing that Orochimaru was willing to speak clearly, Sarutobi felt much more relaxed.

He also felt that this war that had lasted for many years had been too long.

"Iwa ninja, Kumogakure, and the Suna ninja who just entered the game all want to defeat Konoha, but they obviously don't have the strength yet, at least not this time."

"Hum this time"

Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly, with murderous intent.

"I think they see this very clearly, but they are just not willing to accept the reality yet, so let us clarify this point."

Orochimaru looked carefree, with inexplicable yearning and excitement in his dark golden pupils.

"The Country of Rain will become the place of final decisive battle"
