Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

It's at least much more likely than before.

But Orochimaru disagreed.

Even just uniting with Sunagakure is no easy task.

Why would he go to such lengths for Danzo Shimura's illusory dream of becoming Hokage?

"I reject."

Orochimaru shook his head and said.

Danzo Shimura's expression froze, and his enthusiasm was immediately dampened.

He asked, unwilling to accept it, "Why?"

"You don't have that value."

Orochimaru said without any politeness.

"you!"

Danzo Shimura clenched his fists instinctively.

I'm so mad!

But all he could do was get angry.

This is Otogakure (Hidden Sound Village).

Orochimaru's lair.

There are many ninjas.

If he takes action, his fate will most likely be death.

"You go down."

Orochimaru sneered, dismissing his reaction with disdain.

Danzo Shimura, who could no longer take the blame, had lost his usefulness.

He planned to use two Hokage resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique to carry out his plan in their place.

"and many more!"

Suddenly, Shimura Danzo thought of something and said, "I have some information that you'll definitely be interested in."

"intelligence?"

Orochimaru shook his head, not believing it at all. "You lost Root, and you've been in Otogakure for the past five years. Where did you get the information?"

"It's about the Wood Release experiment."

Danzo Shimura took a deep breath and said, "You thought all the test subjects were dead, but that's not the case."

"What did you say?"

Orochimaru was suddenly startled.

His interest in the Sharingan stemmed from the failure of his Wood Release experiment.

Unable to obtain Wood Release, the only option is the second Sharingan.

In Orochimaru's mind, Wood Release is the most powerful bloodline limit.

Because he had read the records of the battle between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

Wood Release left a deep impression on him.

Even the Mangekyou Sharingan, which could instantly kill him, was powerless against Wood Release.

Orochimaru isn't stupid; he naturally knows who to choose.

However, the Wood Release experiment dampened his enthusiasm.

"Someone survived and mastered Wood Release."

"I spoke slowly," said Danzo Shimura.

You lied to me?

Orochimaru's face hardened with murderous intent as he asked the question.

For researchers, going from zero to one is of paramount importance.

If Shimura Danzo were to hand over this Wood Release ninja to him, given enough time, he would be confident in making a breakthrough and creating more Wood Release techniques.

That's incredibly short-sighted!

Orochimaru rarely showed signs of anger.

"Wood Release ninjas are of great significance, so I naturally won't hand them over to you."

Danzo Shimura said matter-of-factly.

"Then you now..."

Orochimaru suddenly realized something, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Is he in Konoha?"

"Yes."

Danzo Shimura painfully admitted this.

No wonder you're so generous.

Orochimaru licked his lips, a surge of excitement rising within him.

Getting the Sharingan and Wood Release at the same time is double the joy.

It seems I have no choice but to go to Konoha Village.

“If you do as I say, I’ll tell you who he is.”

Danzo Shimura said confidently, "Konoha has hidden him away; you won't find him."

In fact, he didn't know about Yamato's current situation.

But it doesn't matter, I'll figure it out first.

Orochimaru frowned slightly.

He doesn't like losing the initiative.

But living Wood Release ninjas are of immense value.

If we transplant Sasuke Uchiha's Sharingan into him, and then let him be our vessel.

Orochimaru was immediately tempted.

Sharingan plus Wood Release, Madara Uchiha plus Hashirama Senju.

He won't have to hide anymore.

"Sunagakure will not cooperate with us."

Orochimaru said in a chilling tone, "Just kill the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, and then take his place."

"As expected of you, Orochimaru."

Danzo Shimura praised it.

A single sentence sealed the fate of the Kazekage.

However, compared to the Hokage, the Kazekage is indeed easier to kill.

The Hokage spends most of his time in Konoha and rarely goes out.

However, Sunagakure was too poor, so the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was forced to become a gold miner to make a living.

He would use his bloodline limit, Magnet Release, to pan for gold in the desert.

If the plan is set up properly, it will be easy to succeed and take him down.

"Now that we have become the Kazekage, there is no need for a forceful attack."

Danzo Shimura, on a sudden inspiration, said, "Joint Chunin Exams."

"can."

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow.

Given Sasuke Uchiha's age and strength, he will most likely participate in the Chunin Exams.

We can make contact with him beforehand and test his skills.

After all, the information in the report is ultimately just a textual description.

……

Konoha Village's First Training Ground.

Naruto Uzumaki is practicing climbing a tree.

He would fall from the tree every now and then, but he didn't care.

Kakashi Hatake nodded in agreement.

Putting everything else aside, Naruto Uzumaki's persistence surpasses that of most ninjas.

No wonder he's his teacher's son.

However, his chakra control is truly terrible.

At crucial moments, it gives him the illusion that someone is sabotaging him.

Kakashi Hatake thought for a moment and then looked at Sasuke Uchiha.

As he formed hand seals, terrifying black shadows appeared among the trees and rocks.

This is the technique of the Mist Servant.

A relatively basic illusion technique, with a learning difficulty level of D.

It only serves to scare people.

Besides this illusion technique, Kakashi Hatake also taught him another one called the "Magic Illusion: Naraku's Appearance Technique".

Its effect is to cause the person under the spell to see their most terrifying image, thereby inflicting a psychological blow.
