Naruto's Shulker Snake

"What happened"

"Who is fighting here?"

"Get out of the way, you..."

Outside the Forest of Death, several ANBU ninjas wanted to enter to investigate the origin of the fighting, but they were stopped by ninjas arranged by Fujiwara, and a dispute broke out for a while.

"It's just Orochimaru-sama sparring with Tsunade-sama, Naoki and the others inside. There's no one else.

Orochimaru-sama doesn’t want anyone to disturb them, so I won’t let you in until the battle is over.”

The guarding ninjas blocked the outside, which made several masked ANBU very dissatisfied, but after hearing the names of Orochimaru and Tsunade, they couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

"Haha, it's indeed that Orochimaru guy. He's really messing around."

"Hokage-sama, you are here"

"Sarutobi-sama"

A figure suddenly appeared, and everyone in the stalemate was shocked. They turned around and said in surprise.

"Let me go in and take a look. I want to see what they are doing."

Sarutobi was wearing a god robe and an eye-catching Hokage hat, but he was hanging his pipe leisurely, looking nonchalant.

However, his status and the tone of his voice were so unquestionable that the several guarding ninjas only hesitated for less than a second before angrily getting out of the way.

"Sarutobi-sama, why are you here?"

Fujiwara walked out of the woods and smiled at Sarutobi.

The huge commotion of the discussion was obviously perceived by the outside world and attracted the attention of the village's senior officials. It's just that Fujiwara didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to come in person, so his expression was a little unnatural.

"It turns out to be Fujiwara."

Sarutobi smiled lightly and nodded, with a profound meaning in his eyes.

"You're here too Sarutobi."

Three more figures appeared, and the leaders were clearly Konoha Shadow Danzo and two of his subordinates.

"You are always one step ahead of me, Sarutobi." Danzo said calmly, scanning the people present, "I heard it was Orochimaru and the others who were fighting."

"That's right, to be precise, it's the master-disciple competition between Orochimaru-sama and Naoki"

Fujiwara explained with a smile, but he became more and more cautious.

However, just as he was about to say something, several more people appeared.

"Why is it so lively? Sarutobi, Danzo, you are all here."

"It's really disturbing to make such a big noise near the village for no reason. Let me go and see what they are doing."

Amidst two somewhat arrogant voices, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan walked in hand in hand, followed by several members of the elder group.

Among them, Ye Long stood out and smiled at Fujiwara.

However, Fujiwara vaguely knew that this "Yelong" who usually stayed in the village was probably just a stand-in.

"I didn't expect to wake you up too."

Sarutobi took a puff of cigarette and said calmly.

Danzo also had a sullen face.

During this period, the identities of Orochimaru, Tsunade and Naoki were all very special.

Whether it is Sarutobi or Danzo, the unpredictable Orochimaru is very special and important, and Naoki is Orochimaru's disciple, Tsunade's younger brother, and a young hero of the same generation as Namikaze Minato... .

They sensed the astonishing energy fluctuations inside, but they didn't expect that the group of elders would also be attracted...

"A few adults are inside."

Almost all of Konoha's top bosses are here. Fujiwara accompanies Xiao and leads everyone into the forest of death. Smoke and dust can be seen rising high in the distance, but the fighting seems to have stopped.

"Maybe Orochimaru-sama had already expected that the noise of the battle would attract them."

While walking, Fujiwara couldn't help but have this idea.

"Quack... Orochimaru-sensei..."

On the top of the giant bamboo shoot-like Jialan Tower, the rope tree had already climbed up. Looking at Orochimaru who was still calm and calm, he was panting heavily and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at Orochimaru's strength.

In such a fierce battle, Naoki originally thought that he had the strength to win with his huge strength, but now it seems that the master is the master after all, and Orochimaru still has some strength left.

"Naoki, your strength is already very strong among ninjas of your age. Even if you look around the ninja world, you can't find many people who can pose a threat to you.

If a war breaks out in the future, you are strong enough to lead Konoha's troops and defend the glory of the village. "

Orochimaru silently looked down at the vast forest below, with Konoha Village looming in the distance, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The breeze caressed his long black hair, whistling lightly, with a different kind of free and easy evil.

"Protect... the village."

Naoshu slowly clenched his fists, the light in his eyes getting hotter.

What Orochimaru said to him before contacting him, war, Hokage, strength... Naoki knew that his teacher had already made up his mind to support him as Hokage.

Although all this is just an empty vision, Roeshu already feels inexplicable excitement, excitement and pressure.

Yes, I want to be the man who becomes Hokage. This is my original intention.

If the third generation and other senior officials in the village also insisted on bestowing this great honor and responsibility on him, Nao Shu was already mentally prepared.

Naoki, who inherited the power and will of the Senju clan, originally had the desire to sit in this position. Under Orochimaru's repeated expressions, Naoki finally regarded becoming Hokage as his real belief, instead of just being a son. The slogan and dream of the time.

If necessary, Naoshu feels that... he will fight for it seriously, no matter whether it is a war, a family, or other competitors in the village

Through this almost all-out competition, Shengshu truly understood his own strength. His strength, belief, resources, everything about him absolutely matches his ambition.

"Good realization."

Orochimaru turned his face slightly, his dark golden pupils scrutinizing Naoki, whose expression became more and more serious. He had already felt the change in the latter's mentality.

In this era where Konoha's talents are emerging one after another, the competition for the position of the Fourth Hokage is definitely the most intense. There are the most candidates, and it is impossible to get a seat by giving in.

Sarutobi in the original time and space chose Namikaze Minato, and Naoki wanted to replace him. Orochimaru had to let him get his mentality right from the beginning.

Now it seems that Naoki is really ready to fight for the position of Hokage.

"Hey, you two"

The three-hundred-meter-high Wooden Dunjialan Tower stands like a giant on the training ground that has long been turned into ruins. Further away, it is surrounded by a dense forest, and the Rope Tree's Wooden Dungeon stands out among the flock, like an emperor in the forest.

Tsunade quickly climbed to the top of the Jialan Tower and saw the rope tree with a serious face.

"What are you talking about? Naoki, are you okay?" Tsunade looked at the two of them.

"I'm fine, sister"

As expected of the reincarnation of Asura, in such a short time, the rope tree's chakra has recovered by 40 to 50%.

"Tsunade, I am discussing with Naoki this time to agree on letting Naoki run for the position of Hokage."

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade and said calmly, "As teachers, we have reached a consensus, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

"......Really."

Tsunade looked at the rope tree and said nothing for a while.

In this time and space, she is not the Tsunade who lost the rope tree and her lover, suffered from hemophobia, and scorned being Hokage. Her attitude is very different from the original time and space.

Tsunade has been thinking about it ever since Orochimaru brought it up before the sparring session.

Although Tsunade has not forgotten that the Senju clan was once devastated due to the war, at this time, when she looked at the firm gaze of the rope tree, Tsunade really had no reason to object.

If the Sannin was the most indifferent to the situation in Konoha, then it must be Tsunade.

Although Jiraiya seems to be bohemian, he is actually not confused at all about the situation and the dirty things in Konoha. He just tries his best to ignore the dirty things and stay out of it.

But no matter in terms of character or mentality, Tsunade has been deliberately avoiding the problems of the village and family after Tobirama's death.

Now, the determination of Orochimaru and Naoki has given her courage again, and she also vaguely recalls the prosperous days of the Senju clan...

"Hey, the old man is still alive and well, and you are so rebellious thinking about succession."

Tsunade smiled and patted Nawaki's shoulder hard.

"Rose Tree, if you make a decision, I will definitely support you."

Finally, Tsunade also gave a clear answer.

"Very good, the plan went very smoothly."

Orochimaru said silently.

Now that he has taken care of the rope tree and Tsunade, he must also have taken care of the Senju clan who are eager to return to their peak. Including himself, Naoki's chances of becoming the fourth generation goal in the future are quite high.

That guy Jiraiya is most likely on Sarutobi's side, which is the biggest obstacle.

The remaining Danzo and the group of elders are not to be feared. Danzo still thinks that Orochimaru has the ambition to be the Hokage, and wants to win over him and attack that position himself.

When necessary, he can also use the backhand of the elders to make Mito Kadoyan switch sides...

So now, the only thing that needs attention is the war that will break out at any time. Naoki must gain the recognition of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others at this time, get the opportunity to go to the battlefield, and quietly build up his reputation.

Orochimaru looked down at the group of people approaching in the distance, and couldn't help but smile meaningfully.
