Chapter 248, Sass, what do you think?
At one of Orochimaru's bases, Guren had a dark expression on her face.

However, the light screen isn't entirely nonsense.

If Lord Orochimaru needs a young body, she would be happy to offer her body to him.

She felt honored that her body could be used by Lord Orochimaru.

In the Land of Water, Orochimaru encountered Kimimaro, a descendant of the Kaguya clan who possessed the bloodline limit Shikotsumyaku.

Under Orochimaru's persuasive influence, Kimimaro followed him, recommended Jugo to Orochimaru, and fought for him. Learning that Orochimaru wanted a different body, Kimimaro even hoped Orochimaru would use his. Orochimaru was indeed quite satisfied with his body, but unfortunately, Kimimaro suffered from a bloodline disorder, so Orochimaru had no choice but to give up.

Then, Orochimaru's talk-no-jutsu (a form of verbal persuasion) appeared on the screen for different people.

Under Orochimaru's persuasive words, one person after another was willing to die for him.

Many people watching the light screen were astonished.

Orochimaru's talk-no-jutsu is really impressive!
Some even believe that Orochimaru's persuasive skills surpass those of Naruto.

But people like Guren and Kimimaro weren't so happy.

Orochimaru, who was also watching the light screen, didn't care.

For Orochimaru, it was just basic stuff.

Even if Guren and Kimimaro betrayed him, Orochimaru wouldn't care.

At worst, it's just some losses, which is perfectly manageable.

In the end, Orochimaru found his true love, who was... Sasuke from the Uchiha clan.

At the Valley of the End, Naruto delivered a powerful punch to Sasuke's face.

Naruto: "Wake up!"

Sasuke: "I'm perfectly clear-headed. Am I supposed to play ninja games with you in Konoha? I can only gain power by going to Orochimaru."

Naruto: "Orochimaru is lusting after your body; he's despicable."

Orochimaru's lips twitched slightly.

Although Orochimaru was magnanimous, he was still a little angry.

……

"That Orochimaru guy."

Itachi's face was cold.

Lustful for his younger brother's body? Orochimaru, that despicable bastard.

If I ever encounter Orochimaru again, I must kill him.

but……

Naruto's bond with his younger brother...

cough cough...

The group chat was lively.

"What? Orochimaru is lusting after Sasuke's body?"

"Sasuke is still a child! And a cute boy at that. Orochimaru is despicable."

Orochimaru is despicable!

Orochimaru is despicable!

...]

"Boom~"

A powerful surge of chakra appeared on Orochimaru's body.

A giant snake appeared before Orochimaru; it was none other than his summoning beast, Manda.

Strange pocket.

Kabuto was just practicing summoning beasts when he accidentally summoned Manda.

Then, Manda, who was also watching the screen, loudly mocked Orochimaru, and Orochimaru heard it.

Orochimaru was furious.

By this time, Dou had already disappeared into the distance.

Orochimaru stared coldly at Manda with his golden snake eyes.

Manda and Orochimaru stared at each other, but neither of them backed down.

"Orochimaru, you're so despicable, can't I even laugh at you?" Manda sneered.

"You...are you courting death?" Orochimaru looked at Manda with a sly smile.

Although Orochimaru was smiling, the atmosphere was cold.

At this moment, Wan She felt a chill run down his spine.

Provoking Orochimaru might have been a mistake.

But it can't bring itself to back down now.

Manda weighed the options in his mind.

Although Orochimaru is very strong, he is not weak either.

But falling out with it wouldn't be good for Orochimaru either.

A snake sprang from Orochimaru's mouth, and inside the snake's mouth was the Kusanagi sword.

Everything was so sudden.

In the blink of an eye, the Kusanagi sword pierced Manda.

The man spits out a snake, and the snake spits out a sword, all in one smooth motion.

Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword is incredibly sharp.

Despite the hardness of Manda's scales, it could not withstand Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword.

Compared to the Kusanagi sword, the scales on Manda's body were like paper.

However, compared to the enormous body of Manda, the Kusanagi Sword is still too small.

However, the chakra contained within the Kusanagi sword is astonishing.

Just as the Kusanagi sword pierced Manda, an astonishing burst of chakra erupted from the sword.

Instantly, the ten thousand snakes let out painful hissing.

A large amount of snake blood spurted out.

The enormous snake head drooped down.

In the blink of an eye, the aura of the ten thousand snakes weakened considerably.

Judging from the aura, Wanshe is seriously injured.

Orochimaru was just teaching Manda a lesson.

The summoned beasts shouldn't be too arrogant. Be polite to Manda normally, but Manda shouldn't take advantage of your kindness.

Like angering Orochimaru, that would be the most foolish thing to do.

"Manda, if there's a next time, I won't mind changing the summoning beast." Orochimaru looked at Manda expressionlessly.

Manda shuddered.

Although Manda felt anger, he also felt fear.

……

At Orochimaru's stronghold, Naruto met Sasuke.
Naruto: Sass, what do you think of Sakura? What is she to you?

Sasuke: Just a passerby!

Konoha.

Sakura:......

This was another significant blow to Sakura.

Naruto: Who is Itachi Uchiha in your heart?
Sasuke: Family.

The corners of the weasel's mouth curled up slightly.

Naruto: So, what is Orochimaru to you?
Sasuke: A person who has developed a snake-like mental illness.

In Tanabata Street, Tsunade burst out laughing.

Snake spirit disease?
It would be quite suitable for Orochimaru.

It's worth mentioning that Naruto and Sasuke appeared on the screen quite a few times.

As expected of... the protagonist.

Such treatment for a chosen one!

Are you envious? I don't think so.

As for jealousy, there was none at all.

She didn't want to appear on the screen.

After all, she enjoys watching others have fun, but she doesn't want to become the fun herself.

She sensed the bond between Naruto and Sasuke.

That said, she didn't have such a deep bond with Jiraiya, Orochimaru, or even with Jiraiya.

It truly lives up to its MAX-level bond.

Only the bond between her grandfather and Madara Uchiha can compare.

……

Jiraiya looked at Konoha with a strange expression.

Orochimaru? A psychopath?
Suddenly, Jiraiya wanted to laugh, but he managed to hold it in with great willpower.

He was originally a great ninja with great perseverance.

"Fifth Hokage, why is your mouth crooked?" The Hokage's secretary had just brought in a stack of documents when she noticed Jiraiya's crooked mouth.

"My mouth... is cramping." Jiraiya's expression was rather unnatural.

Mouth cramping?
The Hokage's secretary felt her intelligence had been insulted.

However, Jiraiya was also the Hokage.

We can't disrespect the Hokage! Otherwise, we'll lose this job.

You should know that the position of Hokage's secretary is not tiring, the salary is high, and the status in the village is also high, so many ninjas are eyeing it!
"Lord Hokage, these are documents that need to be approved as soon as possible." With that, the Hokage's secretary placed a stack of documents on the table.

Looking at this thick stack of documents, Jiraiya felt overwhelmed.

I used to think that the old man was relatively relaxed when he was Hokage, so why is his workload so heavy now?

Is this bullying honest people?

Thinking about it, Jiraiya became angry.

At this moment, Jiraiya really wanted to flip the table.

Throw away the Hokage hat and go out and have some fun.

However, Jiraiya still had a responsibility to the village; he couldn't be too selfish.

Although becoming Hokage was a forced decision, once you've taken the position, you have to take responsibility.

We can only accept it for now.

However, Jiraiya is not young anymore.

So, if he couldn't keep up after a year or two, it would be reasonable to choose the Sixth Hokage.

As for the candidate for the Sixth Hokage, Jiraiya had already made up his mind.

That's Kakashi.

The screen says Kakashi is the Sixth Hokage, so what's wrong with making Kakashi the Sixth Hokage?
Kakashi's abilities qualify him to become the Kage of a village.

However, Jiraiya's tenure as Hokage is still too short. If he were to hand over the position to Kakashi now, it would likely draw criticism. Therefore, it would be necessary to wait at least a year and a half, or even a few years.

Jiraiya will also lay a good foundation for Kakashi.

F3 must be suppressed.

Otherwise, even if Kakashi became Hokage, he would just be a puppet!

Of course, Kakashi also has an advantage, which is his youth; he can outlast F3.

Jiraiya then formed hand seals and unleashed the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

In an instant, Jiraiya created several shadow clones.

Then, Jiraiya's shadow clones began to work.

As for Jiraiya himself, he continued to watch the light screen.

"The Hokage's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is becoming more and more proficient," the Hokage's secretary thought to himself.

Since becoming Hokage, Jiraiya has used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique quite often.

……

After instilling some of the Will of Fire into Naruto, Sarutobi went to check on Sasuke.

However, as soon as Sarutobi approached Sasuke, several elderly Uchiha men emerged from the surrounding area.

These elderly men were all no younger than Sarutobi; some were Sarutobi's classmates, and others were his seniors.

Of course, even if all these Uchiha elders were combined, their status in the village wouldn't be as high as Sarutobi's.

With these Uchiha elders around, it would be difficult for Sarutobi to instill the Will of Fire into Sasuke.

If Sarutobi were still the Hokage, things would be a bit easier.

But Sarutobi is no longer the Hokage.

Konoha only has one Hokage.

For example, Sarutobi used to support Minato becoming Hokage, but once Minato became Hokage, Sarutobi was no longer Hokage.

But after Minato died, Sarutobi resumed power, but he still needed to speak with the daimyo.

On Sarutobi's way to see the daimyo, Danzo arranged for someone to assassinate him. Of course, the assassination failed, and Danzo was very flustered, but Sarutobi did not pursue the matter.

Now, Jiraiya is the Hokage.

"Is Sarutobi looking for Sasuke?" an elderly Uchiha asked.

Several Uchiha elders were not very friendly towards Sarutobi.

When Danzo was alive, it could be said that Danzo was targeting the Uchiha clan.

But without Danzo, Sarutobi changed his attitude towards the Uchiha clan.

Ultimately, Sarutobi never trusted the Uchiha clan.

Now that they know Sarutobi's attitude towards the Uchiha, it's strange that these elderly Uchiha would have a good attitude towards him.

These Uchiha elders also knew that Sarutobi definitely wanted to instill the Will of Fire into Sasuke.

Shisui was instilled with the Will of Fire, and Itachi was also instilled with the Will of Fire.

Now, they've set their sights on Sasuke.

This angered several Uchiha elders.

The Uchiha clan finally produced a few geniuses, but then...

It's hard to say.

Sasuke must not be led astray by the Will of Fire.

If Sasuke has to choose between his clan and his village, then he must choose his clan.

If the Uchiha clan is gone, what's the point of having a village?
Sarutobi could tell what these Uchiha elders were thinking just by looking at their eyes.

These are all old fogies from the Uchiha clan.

Among the Uchiha clan, these people are the ones who lack the Will of Fire the most.

However, Sarutobi's face remained expressionless.

"The light barrier isn't very friendly to Sasuke, and Sasuke is still a child. I was a little worried about him, so I came to check on him on the way." Sarutobi forced a smile on his old face.

Sarutobi appears to be kind and approachable.

Sasuke simply couldn't bring himself to dislike Sarutobi.

The main reason is that Sarutobi has a really high level of affability.

Even if Sarutobi was faking it, being able to fake it is a skill of his.

The Uchiha elders, however, harbored resentment in their hearts.

These elderly Uchiha men harbored hostility towards Sarutobi.

“Sasuke, come on, we’ll teach you ninjutsu. There’s a ninjutsu that even Itachi didn’t learn, but you might be able to learn it,” an old Uchiha man said to Sasuke.

"Ninjutsu that Itachi didn't learn?" Sasuke suddenly became interested.

Then, an elderly Uchiha man pulled Sasuke away.

Just as Sarutobi was about to give chase, an old Uchiha man stopped him.

This made Sarutobi's face turn very ugly.

Sasuke is different from Naruto.

After all, Sasuke is backed by the Uchiha clan, the most powerful clan in Konoha.

Although the Uchiha clan currently has far fewer members than the Sarutobi clan.

However, the strength of a ninja clan is not entirely determined by its number of members.

In fact, in the face of the Mangekyou Sharingan, even if there are hundreds or thousands of so-called elites from the Sarutobi clan, it doesn't mean much.

Currently, Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan, possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Both Itachi and Obito, who were outside, possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Although Itachi was a rogue ninja, he was sent by Sarutobi to infiltrate the Akatsuki organization.

Therefore, if Itachi returns to the village, it will be easy for him to clear his name.

As for Obito, he can't be cleared of wrongdoing.

After all, Obito had done too many bad things.

Obito has done too much damage to Konoha, and it will be difficult for everyone to forgive him.

Naruto is likely to forgive Obito, and if Obito repents, Kakashi will probably forgive him as well.

But Sarutobi could not forgive Obito.

Obito killed Sarutobi's wife, Biwako.

Even though the Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan users are not of one mind, it would be quite difficult to wipe out the current Uchiha clan.

What pleased Sarutobi was that Fugaku had a good sense of purpose and was able to become the second Nagakage.

With Fugaku as the head of the Uchiha clan, Sarutobi was relatively at ease.

As for instilling the Will of Fire into Sasuke, that is something we cannot give up on.

If we don't have a chance this time, we can look for another one later.

There will always be opportunities.

……

Fugaku secretly sent people to protect Sasuke.

The news that Sarutobi had approached Sasuke, and that several elderly Uchiha men had appeared, quickly reached Fugaku's ears.

Fugaku wasn't stupid; he knew that Sarutobi wanted to instill the Will of Fire into Sasuke, and he was conflicted about it.

Having learned from the examples of Shisui and Itachi, Fugaku was not in favor of Sasuke having too much contact with Sarutobi.

However, Fugaku was worried about displeasing Sarutobi.

If Sarutobi becomes dissatisfied with the Uchiha clan, the consequences will be unbearable for them.

As for the elders of the clan who stepped forward, Fugaku wasn't too pleased.

Would Sarutobi think that he arranged it?

It's safe to say that being a clan leader is no easy task.

As for the position of police chief, Fugaku really wanted to resign, but for the sake of his clan and the village, he didn't.

The clansmen are ignorant, and he, as the clan leader, cannot follow suit.

Everything should focus on the overall situation.

Thinking it over, Fugaku considered going to see Sarutobi and have a proper talk.
