Saiyans in the Naruto world

Sanada chattered on and on, seemingly without ever stopping. Carrot listened quietly.

"As long as I protect the people I care about, what do other people's opinions matter to me?"

Walking around the camp today, Carrot saw him but kept his distance. He thought to himself, "I protected you, even if you're not grateful, you should at least show some courtesy and greet me." None of that happened, making Carrot increasingly frustrated. It wasn't until he saw Sanada that Carrot came to his senses.

"Kamiko is too busy taking care of things, and Matsushita-sensei went on a mission. I just got back from working overtime."

Sanada complained to Carrot about the frequency of missions, expressing his dissatisfaction at wanting to return to the village.

That night, Orochimaru convened a meeting of all the Jonin. His face was even paler; working through the night was unbearable for anyone. He announced the Hokage's orders, much to the delight of the ninja present. Finally, they could leave this damned battlefield and no longer live in constant fear. Sakumo Hatake led the wounded and resting ninja back to the village, while Orochimaru stayed behind to guard the border. Karot was unable to return to the village, which left him somewhat depressed. However, Sanada's name was on the announced list; one wonders how happy that kid would be.

As dawn broke, Carrot stood at the camp gate, bidding farewell to his father and friends. He kept his father's earnest teachings and his friends' well wishes in his heart.

After transforming once, Carrot's power increased again, allowing him to fight his former self with only half the effort. He trains every day, focusing on better controlling his suddenly increased strength. Every night, he engages in scientific discussions with Orochimaru, each time gaining something from the experience. This is Carrot repaying a favor; otherwise, how could a slandered Sakumo Hatake have intimidated the mastermind behind Konoha's Root? Orochimaru also played a part in this.

Chapter 41 Fog Shadow Battlefield

"Karot, if I wanted to become Hokage, would you support me?"

Tonight, Orochimaru finally brought up this topic.

"The Hokage is supporting you, so what difference does one more make, Lord Orochimaru?"

Carrot changed the subject.

"Teacher? He's too power-hungry. He's afraid I'll compete with him for power, so he's pushing Shuimen to compete with me."

Orochimaru's assessment of Hiruzen Sarutobi is spot on. Hiruzen Sarutobi was an old man who clung to power like his own lifeblood. After Minato took over, he held onto power tightly, indirectly leading to Minato's death on the night of the Nine-Tails.

"As for the Hokage, I think Lord Orochimaru is more suitable than Minato-senpai."

Carrot expressed his opinion: Minato's foundation was still too shallow; without a firm grasp of power, implementing his policies would be extremely difficult. Although Minato inherited Jiraiya's political resources, he was ultimately not Jiraiya himself. Orochimaru, also one of the Legendary Sannin, had an advantage over Minato in terms of connections, resources, and status. If it weren't for Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo's machinations, exposing Orochimaru's human experiments, Orochimaru would undoubtedly have become Hokage.

"Oh, what price do I need to pay for you to stand by me, Carrot?"

It's not the other party's offer that's scary, it's their outright rejection; only through negotiation can cooperation occur. The strength Carrot demonstrated is worth Orochimaru spending a fortune to win over.

"Gravity chamber. As long as you build it, I'll be completely on your side."

Carrot directly stated his bottom line, because he didn't need anything else, and he also wanted to see if Orochimaru becoming Hokage would change the course of the Naruto world. Another reason was that Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, was Carrot's favorite. From a commoner to a powerful ninja who dominated the ninja world, the hardships he endured were beyond the reach of ordinary people. His "diligent" study of knowledge and mastery of ninjutsu, including various forbidden techniques, coupled with his boundless thirst for knowledge, ultimately led Orochimaru to his goal. Jiraiya, on the other hand, sought peace, searching the ninja world for his destined child, abandoning his lover and students, and refusing to adopt young Naruto. Did he not know the darkness of Konoha? Did he not know Naruto's plight? But in his eyes, none of these things mattered compared to the destined child. Why entrust your ideals to others? Can't you achieve peace in the ninja world yourself? Carrot looked down on Tsunade even more. He didn't even think about avenging the murder of his lover and brother. Instead, he cowardly ran away, claiming that he had hemoptysis, but in reality, he was just afraid.

"It's a pleasure working with you, Carrot."

Orochimaru extended his right hand in invitation.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Lord Orochimaru."

Karot grasped Orochimaru's right hand and said.

The alliance between the two was formed that night, but whether it would have any impact on the ninja world remains to be seen.

The war continued, but the battlefield in the Cloud Ninja area was unusually quiet, with not even any small-scale clashes occurring. The ultimate reason was that Karot was guarding the Cloud Ninja border.

Six months passed peacefully like this until one day, Carrot was unusually excited. Thanks to Orochimaru's tireless experiments, the gravity chamber had been completed. Carrot's order to return to the village to recuperate was then issued.

Karot returned to the village, greeted the Hokage, had dinner with his father, and then headed straight for Orochimaru's laboratory. Nothing could stop Karot's path to becoming stronger.

"How about it, not bad, right, Carrot?"

Orochimaru's shadow clone explained the use of the gravity chamber to Karot.

"Not bad."

Carrot eagerly ordered food, handing it directly to Orochimaru and telling him his daily food allowance. Being a kind soul, Carrot didn't ask Orochimaru to cover his food expenses and immediately began his gravity training.

Another six months passed peacefully, during which time Karot never left Orochimaru's laboratory. When bored during breaks, Karot would help Orochimaru with his experiments. Even his father, Hatake Sakumo, never contacted him. In short, Karot had a very comfortable six months. He felt that his strength had reached the pinnacle of this world. There was no room for further advancement.

The peaceful days were shattered by an order.

"Carrot, the Dark Guard just brought the Master's orders, ordering you to go to the front lines."

"Oh, so we're going back to the Cloud Ninja front lines again?"

Carrot wiped the sweat off his body with a towel and asked.

"No, the front lines of the Cloud Ninja are very quiet. Going there would be a waste of your combat strength. The village would never issue such a stupid order."

"Oh, where is that place?"

Carrot became interested. He'd been staying in the lab for a while, and he was getting a little restless. Going out for a walk would be nice. Yes, a walk. While others went to the battlefield with their hearts pounding, our Lord Carrot was simply relaxing. That's the confidence that comes with great strength.

"Mist Shadow".

Orochimaru spoke sparingly.

"The Mist Shadows are up to their old tricks again. Even the Uchiha and Hyuga couldn't stop them? Are they that useless?"

You think you're so great? You're so high and mighty. My Sharingan would be suppressed here. It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. If there were any Uchiha clan members here right now, they would definitely be cursing Karot.

"The Uchiha forces at the Kirigakure front have suffered heavy losses and have been requesting reinforcements for a long time. Since you're resting, we've sent you there."

Carrot immediately understood the meaning of the stressed word "拖".

"That's it!"

"As expected, they never miss an opportunity to weaken the Uchiha clan."

Carrot thought to himself.

"When to set off?"

"Now."

"My position?"

"Supreme Commander."

"A letter of resignation."

Orochimaru spat out the appointment letter from his mouth and tossed it to Karot, who pinched it between two fingers and flicked off the saliva.

"Didn't I tell you that this is very unhygienic?"

"Carrot asked, puzzled."

"They dare not say that you are the first."

The reason was compelling, and Carrot gave Orochimaru a thumbs up.

The Land of Fire and the Land of Water are separated by a sea. It took Karot three days to reach the seaside, with his frequent stops. Why was it so slow? Well, he had already been held up for so long by the elders of Konoha. A few more days wouldn't make a difference. Wouldn't it be better to enjoy some delicious food along the way?

Now, Kaka is facing the sea, and when he tries to compose a poem, the words just come out.

"Ah, the ocean, how vast you are."

I glanced around furtively; there was no one there.

"That was close! My image was almost ruined."

Carrot took out a flare gun and fired it into the sky. A few minutes later, three figures appeared in front of Carrot.

"Excuse me, are you a Jonin named Hatake?"

The leading ninja spoke up. He wasn't very old, yet he was able to become the leader of the team; he seemed to be no ordinary person.

"Ah."

Carrot responded.

"We've finally waited for you, Jonin Hatake. Please come to us."

Led by the lead ninja, Karot entered Konoha's camp.

Chapter 42 is here, featuring a memorable scene.

"you are?"

Carrot looked at the Uchiha leader who was leading the way and asked.

"My name is Uchiha Shisui."

Upon hearing this name, Carrot couldn't help but glance at it a few more times. The tragic figure, Uchiha Shisui, possessed the most powerful genjutsu, yet ultimately met his end by falling off a cliff. How pitiful.

Uchiha Shisui saw pity in Karot's eyes. He wondered why the man in front of him was looking at him with pity when he didn't know Karot well.

"Is there any problem?"

Shisui asked.

Carrot regained his composure and said.

"The renowned Uchiha master Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique, I never expected it would be you who came to greet me."

"No, no matter how you are, you are no match for Konoha's Red Demon."

"Ah, who is the Red Demon?"

"Carrot asked, puzzled."

"Hatake Jonin, don't you know? This is a title the Raikage gave you. If you encounter Konoha's Red Demon, you can abandon the mission without being blamed."

What an awful name! You can't just give someone a name like that because I'm wearing a red martial arts uniform. It's really judging people by their appearance and shows a complete lack of culture.

"Tch."
