I, a cultivator, ended up in the Naruto world.

"Do you really have to go?"

"You absolutely must go."

Even if you lose me?

"That's right."

Jiraiya put down his wine cup and scratched his head in distress.

Having run out of options, he could only turn to Tsunade and signal her to follow.

"Actually, Orochimaru, you didn't have to go to such lengths for Nawaki."

Orochimaru shook his head.

"It's not for Nawaki, it's for myself."

The three ninjas sat in the tavern, speechless for a moment.

Orochimaru glanced at his two close friends, smiled, and raised his glass:

"Have you forgotten what happened to me?"

I lost both my parents when I was young, and my family was destitute.

There is no choice but to succeed.

He raised his glass to Chao Gang.

"Tsunade, when did you become so long-winded?"

You have to strive for things!

Think about it, besides your few houses, hundreds of acres of land, and dozens of scrolls of secret techniques, what else do you have?

You have to work hard!

Tsunade remained silent.

Yes, she has no talent.

While her ambitious peers all dreamed of becoming Hokage, she never had such an idea.

Perhaps it was the pressure left by her two grandfathers, or perhaps it was just her own cowardice.

In short, she never even considered the position of Hokage.

Jiraiya impatiently snatched the sake cup from Orochimaru's hand:

"Stop drinking. Orochimaru, why do you have to become Hokage?"

"I never wanted to become Hokage, I just wanted to follow in your footsteps and look impressive." Orochimaru looked directly into his eyes.

"Do you remember? The first time we went on a mission, I was sent to kill someone, and I was so scared."

I told myself that no matter what, I couldn't bring shame to Konoha.

"I did not let everyone down."

Why should everyone disappoint me?

Jiraiya remained silent.

In the past, he would definitely have supported Orochimaru to run for president.

But things are different now than they were back then.

"Tell your brothers to stop, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru smiled dismissively:

"Once you've let someone go, you can't bring them back. Just let nature take its course."

The sound of a wine glass shattering came from the private room.

Orochimaru pushed open the door and came out.

A voice sounded from behind:

"Orochimaru, are you coming back for dinner?"

He paused briefly, but did not turn around.

"Don't wait for me."

No matter what Jiraiya and Tsunade say, he is determined to do this.

Otherwise, there would be no chance at all.

He was intelligent from a young age and saw things more clearly than his peers.

Therefore, he understood that if he couldn't deal with Yang Xiang now, he would definitely miss out on becoming the Fourth Hokage.

At first, he thought it was Uchiha Kagami who was going to make a selection, so he was just wary and didn't do anything too serious.

Because the Uchiha clan couldn't be selected.

They lack a mass base.

But the Thousand Hands are different.

The foundation is too solid.

What makes Orochimaru worthy of being Hokage?

He relied on the support of the small ninja clans and commoner ninjas behind him, and on the connections and prestige of inheriting his teacher's lineage.

However, if Yang Xiang were to run for the position, the legacy of the Senju clan would cause most of the ninja clans to defect.

Moreover, Yang Xiang has already demonstrated superhuman talent.

Therefore, he was determined to get rid of Yang Xiang, no matter what means he had to use.

This isn't for the rope tree; it's for myself.

From the moment he saw Yang Xiang's strength at the dojo, he made up his mind.

This child's issue is no longer about competing with Nawaki for the Fifth Hokage title.

Rather, it directly threatens their own position.

Orochimaru, like Hiruzen Sarutobi, is a ninja who uses all elemental ninjutsu.

He is currently at the peak of his strength and is extremely confident.

Even the old man from back then wasn't as good as I am now.

Why should Jiraiya and Tsunade stop him?

He doesn't understand.

Shouldn't we be on the same side?

These two only went on one mission with Yang Xiang before defecting to the enemy?

That doesn't make sense!

I, Orochimaru, have waited three years, just waiting for an opportunity.

I'm going to prove them wrong!

Yang Xiang is a taijutsu-type ninja, specializing in the Thousand Hands chakra burst mode and super-strong punches, similar to Tsunade.

He has experience, he has methods, and he has the ability to deal with Yang Xiang.

Yang Xiang was only twelve years old.

There is no reason to fail.

Although he was full of confidence, Orochimaru still cautiously assessed the strength of both sides and secretly cheered himself on.

···

What is a surprise?

That's what you call a surprise.

Hiruzen Sarutobi trembled slightly as he held the intelligence report in his hand.

This is information brought out by the ANBU who went in to clean up the area after the Joint Chunin Exams.

The captain of the Dark Side squad is Hatake Sakumo, the strongest and most experienced member of the Dark Side.

The scroll in his hand was inscribed with the words.

Nawaki: Grandson of Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, who mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Yang Xiang: Grandson of Momoka, a Jonin of the Senju clan, who is skilled in Wood Release.

It's nothing.

What's frightening is the speculation that followed.

Why did the grandson of Hashirama not master Wood Release, but the grandson of Jonin Momoka did?

According to the theory of bloodline limits, the closer the kinship, the more likely one is to inherit power.

According to some secret records, before Mito Uzumaki married Hashirama Senju, the most likely person to marry the First Hokage was Momoka Senju, who was from the same clan.

After Lord Hashirama and Lord Mito got married, the Uzumaki clan had a plan to marry Jonin Momoka, but she refused.

At the time, this behavior was extremely abnormal.

As the two major ninja clans formed an alliance through marriage, it was common for them to marry each other.

A year after this incident, Tao Hua's son was born, the father of whom is unknown.

Another theory is that Tsunade and Nawaki's mother stayed outside the village during Nawaki's pregnancy and childbirth, only returning after Nawaki was born.

This is also extremely abnormal, because the place where Lady Mito is located is the safest place in the ninja world.

The talent for space-time ninjutsu can also be inherited.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama, had no descendants.

This is also very unreasonable.

You should know that Lord Tobirama is a renowned Water Release master in the ninja world.

After eliminating all the impossibilities, the one that remains, no matter how illogical, may be the truth.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was shocked.

As expected of my Shuo Mao, he's too good.

This is an angle I've never seen before!

It's a pleasant surprise, a truly exquisite wash!

It completely eroded Hiruzen Sarutobi's values.

Your circle is really messy!

He began to think carefully, and it seemed that there was indeed some awkwardness between Lord Hashirama and Jonin Momoka.

Moreover, he knew that the Jonin Momoka had always been surrounding Lord Hashirama.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have continued the Senju family division strategy even after Hashirama's death.

Think about your teachers again.

Although the Second Hokage was very strict, he was good-looking and strong.

Moreover, he is quite kind to people other than the Uchiha clan.

Most importantly, it was something he had been thinking about all along.

The teacher is both a master of Water Release and the fastest man in the ninja world.

It's so fast and there's so much water, it's unreasonable that there are no descendants! It's so unreasonable.

So now someone has told me.

Yang Xiang might be Hashirama Senju's grandson, while Nawaki might be Tobirama Senju's grandson.

broken!

Momoka's grandson can die, but Hashirama Senju's grandson cannot!

"Quickly bring Orochimaru back!"
