Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

Rather, it was a preparation he made as a backup plan for his future.

Kagura remembered very clearly that all the Uchiha clan members, after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan...

Overuse of these eyes will eventually lead to blindness.

It has been mentioned that people with interstitial cells can avoid this consequence.

Even Kagura herself wasn't sure if possessing the Wood Release bloodline limit was equivalent to possessing Hashirama's cells.

So, just in case, he took the eye.

So even if they ever go blind in the future, they will have eyes to be transplanted.

It is said that only by transplanting the eyes of a loved one can one obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

But even if it's only temporary, at least he can still use one eye, right?

Orochimaru was completely oblivious to what Kagura was saying.

He rubbed the Sharingan in his hand while nodding blankly.

Seeing this, Kagura couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

To be honest, among all the people in Team 7 who have spent so many years together, Kagura and Orochimaru have the best relationship.

Perhaps it was because they were both war orphans, or perhaps Kagura understood Orochimaru's pursuits too well.

This led to the two of them meeting up to discuss or research ninjutsu after each mission.

Therefore, Kagura, who knows Orochimaru's personality well, knows that at this point, Orochimaru is not only unable to make any requests, but even if you tell him to kneel down and call you "daddy," he will just nod blankly.

With a sigh, Kagura lowered her head and pondered for a moment before looking up at Orochimaru with a serious expression and saying:

"Orochimaru, I have a request, and I hope you can grant it."

Perhaps sensing the seriousness in Kagura's tone, Orochimaru finally looked away from the glass jar and stared at Kagura with a puzzled expression.

However, even Orochimaru did not notice that when he looked directly at Kagura, Kagura's eyes momentarily revealed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

But this state only lasted for a moment, and even Orochimaru himself did not notice it.

At this moment, Kagura said with a solemn expression:

"I hope that you will stay away from Danzo in the future and never have any contact with this person."

Stay away from Danzo.

At that moment, Orochimaru felt as if those four words were engraved into his mind, and he couldn't shake them off for a long time.

His eyes seemed to waver for a moment, but after a while, he nodded obediently.

In fact, these classmates in Class 7 seemed to have gotten used to following Kagura's commands.

So this time, he didn't notice anything wrong either.

Seeing Orochimaru nod, Kagura seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

He finally recovered from his weakness.

He struggled to his feet, turned around, waved to Orochimaru, and left.

As soon as she stepped out the door, Kagura rubbed her forehead wearily.

Over the years, Orochimaru seems to have gained a deeper understanding of Kagura's body, which allows him to always find a limit that weakens Kagura without harming her body when drawing blood.

But Kagura's exhaustion at this moment, besides being drained of blood, was mainly due to the fact that he had just silently used Kotoamatsukami on Orochimaru.

His will to change Orochimaru was simple: to stay away from Danzo.

In fact, after Kagura's eyes evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan, the ninjutsu he had previously acquired, such as Kotoamatsukami and Tsukuyomi, were truly in their complete form.

Especially with Kotoamatsukami, he now understands why this ninjutsu is called the strongest genjutsu.

This is a ninjutsu that can fundamentally change a person's will.

In fact, during that battle in Sunagakure, if Uchiha Setsuna hadn't buried himself inside the One-Tailed Beast...

Kagura was confident that she could use Kotoamatsukami to make Uchiha Setsuna automatically hand over control of the One-Tailed Beast to her.

However, every advantage has its disadvantage. The price of being able to use the full version of the God of War is that there is a certain cooldown period every time he uses it.

Although it's not as exaggerated as once every 10 years in the original work, according to Kagura's test, it still takes at least about 3 months.

It's hard to say whether this is good or bad for Kagura.

Simply put, the previous weakened version of the Heavenly God was not as powerful, but it had no cooldown time.

The current cooldown time of Kotoamatsukami means that this skill can only be used once per battle.

Even so, the effects of Kotoamatsukami now are absolutely convincing.

Kagura is certain that Orochimaru will definitely keep his distance from Danzo after this.

Staying away from Danzo will become an unshakable idea in his subconscious.

Although Kagura was generally reluctant to use this ninjutsu on her comrades, Orochimaru was an exception.

After all, this is a polarized character who is easily prone to turning evil.

Although Kagura had taken many measures over the years, he couldn't help but use Kotoamatsukami as a final act of protection.

All of this is because of that shadowy figure looming over Konoha—Danzo.

Chapter 20 has arrived, the fastest man.

If Kagura were to ask who the person in Konoha Village was most wary of, it would undoubtedly be Danzo.

This person may not be very strong in combat, but when it comes to scheming and causing trouble, if he says he's second, no one in Konoha would dare to say they're first.

Especially in recent years, Danzo has become like the organization "Root" that he founded.

He concealed himself deeply beneath the towering tree of Konoha, making it impossible for anyone to discern his plans.

Over the years, he has truly withdrawn from the front lines of Konoha, just as he said, and rarely appears in front of others.

Compared to enemies that are out in front of you, enemies hidden in the shadows are the most frightening.

The main reason Kagura used Kotoamatsukami on Orochimaru to keep him away from Danzo was because she felt that the Second Shinobi World War was coming soon.

Yes, the Second Shinobi World War was a very important turning point.

This was the battle that made the "Three Legendary Sannin" famous in the ninja world, and it was also the battle that made Hanzo, the "demigod," famous.

After this war, Jiraiya will encounter Nagato, Yahiko, and others, which unexpectedly facilitates Madara Uchiha's scheme.

During this war, Sakumo Hatake revealed the brilliance of "Konoha's White Fang" to the world, killing Sasori's parents and causing Sasori to begin his descent into darkness.

But few people remember that it was precisely because of this war that Orochimaru's beliefs began to change.

Having witnessed the deaths of Tsunade's younger brother Nawaki, Dan Kato, and numerous other ninjas, Orochimaru felt the fragility of life, which further deepened his obsession with immortality and ninjutsu.

And among all these people, the most important one who led him down the path of darkness was Danzo.

During the period from the Second Shinobi World War to Orochimaru's human research being exposed and his defection from Konoha, Danzo and Orochimaru were the best partners.

Orochimaru even served as a bodyguard for the "Root" organization alongside Ryoma Aburame at one point in time.

Even Danzo's arm, which had been transplanted with a large number of Sharingan eyes, was a masterpiece given to him by Orochimaru.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi recommended Minato Namikaze as the Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru, at Danzo's urging, began human experiments on Hashirama's cells.

During this period, they successively kidnapped sixty babies from the village's genin, chunin, ANBU, and surrounding villages.

It was precisely because of the exposure of this matter that Orochimaru betrayed Konoha.

It can be said that Danzo was Orochimaru's biggest "benefactor" on his path to corruption.

Therefore, Kagura had to separate the two people.

On the one hand, he would separate the bad guys who might "corrupt" Orochimaru, and on the other hand, he would constantly provide Orochimaru with the experimental materials he wanted.

He was determined to steer Orochimaru back from the original storyline.

As I left Orochimaru's house, the sky had unknowingly been replaced by darkness.

Kagura, who was exhausted both mentally and physically, naturally didn't want to cook for herself.

After thinking for a while, he walked into a small tavern.

Similar to the cherry blossom country on Earth, these small taverns basically combine the attributes of both taverns and restaurants.

It is also the first choice for young people like them who want to eat out.

After casually ordering a few tempura dishes and a bowl of ramen, Kagura also ordered a bottle of sake.

Unfortunately, there's basically only a few dishes available in restaurants in this world now.

Kagura took the sake from the shop assistant, poured it into a small cup, took a sip, and then frowned in dissatisfaction.

There's nothing I can do; Kagura has never been able to get used to drinking sake with such a low alcohol content, even after all these years.

Just as he was contemplating whether or not to spread the technique of distilling spirits to the world, the door of the tavern opened again.

Two men, one tall and one short, came in after the door opened.

The taller one with short brown hair and unique lines around his eyes is the Eighth Hokage of the Uchiha clan, who is about the same age as Kagura.

The young man beside him had short black hair and a rather handsome face; he was none other than Uchiha Fugaku.

Both men wore black, tight-fitting combat uniforms, covered with green Jonin chainmail. The Uchiha clan crest was embroidered on their shoulders; this was the uniform of the Konoha Police Department.

When Fugaku entered, he was slightly taken aback to see Kagura sitting alone to one side. Then, he happily walked over to him and greeted her warmly, saying:

"Brother Kagura, it's been so long since I've seen you!"

Seeing Fugaku's excited expression, Kagura also politely forced a smile.

The two men didn't stand on ceremony and sat down right next to him.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, Kagura couldn't help but marvel at his excellent genes.

Indeed, as the father of Sasuke, who is considered one of the most handsome characters in Naruto, and Itachi, how could he not be good-looking when he was young?

Looking at Fugaku who had sat down, Kagura smiled slightly and said:

"I heard you've become a Jonin and joined the police department?"
