Naruto: I Borrow from the Future

Chapter 87 Kaleidoscope Loan Repayment Ended

After throwing out all his chips, Orochimaru took a sip of tea and waited quietly for a reply.

The aroma of tea filled the air, and the living room remained silent for a long time.

"I must say, Orochimaru-senpai, your suggestion is very tempting," Aoya said, then suddenly changed the subject, "However, I refuse!"

It's completely baffling that they suddenly came to me to ask for votes!

If Orochimaru had no one backing him, and he approached him, Aoya might have believed that Orochimaru was genuinely seeking support.

But Orochimaru is now entangled with Danzo!

The competition between the two candidates for the Fourth Hokage was essentially a competition between Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi, who were behind Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze respectively!

It's hard to say whether Orochimaru's visit today was part of a scheme by Danzo Shimura.

As for the issue of the Mangekyou Sharingan's blindness defect, Aoya is not in a hurry to solve it right now.

I only have one month left on my Kaleidoscope Chakra loan; I'll wait until this loan is paid off before worrying about anything else.

As for what came later, Orochimaru even promised to make him a high-ranking elder, or even to assist the Hokage, which was just empty talk.

You'd be a fool to believe it yourself!

"—In that case, I won't bother you any longer."

Orochimaru remained silent for a moment, then got up and left.

He returned to the Root Base and arrived at the laboratory that Danzo had prepared specifically for him.

"How is it?"

Danzo Shimura had been waiting here for a long time.

"I refused."

Orochimaru said coldly.

"That's normal."

Danzo said this, but he still felt a little regretful.

If only Uchiha Aoya could resist the temptation and fall for it.

With that kid's strength and battle achievements, he definitely has a significant influence within the Uchiha clan, and may even affect some other Jonin in the village.

With this support, Orochimaru's chances of succeeding as the Fourth Hokage have increased even further.

As for those promises—

There are always excuses to make!

Solving the kaleidoscope problem is simple; we can just drag it out and say we haven't found a solution yet.

As for the issue of promising high-ranking positions, that's even easier. On the one hand, he's too young, and on the other hand, whether it's him, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, or others who step forward, they can easily raise objections.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Aoya didn't fall for it.

However, it cannot be said that there was no gain at all.

If Orochimaru did indeed speak to Uchiha Aoya as he said, then it should at least have stirred up some tension between Uchiha Aoya and Uchiha Fugaku.

Now that the war is over, he can't think of a way to deplete Uchiha Aoya's Mangekyou Sharingan power.

Since that's the case, why not stir up trouble and let the Uchiha fight the Uchiha!

"I've done as you said. Don't forget the next round of research funding."

Orochimaru, however, paid little attention and instead went to observe the cluster of white cells on the cultured blood.

"Increasing funding is a minor issue!"

Danzo looked pained but tried hard to control himself. Seeing Orochimaru's attitude, he was somewhat dissatisfied: "Why are you still watching this experiment at a time like this? Once you become Hokage, you'll have plenty of research funding to spare!"

Seeing that Orochimaru had no intention of paying attention to him anymore, Danzo became furious.

Orochimaru seems to be giving up!

This can't be done!

If Minato Namikaze were to become Hokage, his power would be greatly diminished!

October of Konoha 47.

The Iwagakure delegation arrived and successfully signed a peace treaty with Konoha.

Also brought along were the ransom from Huangtu and war reparations from Konoha.

The ransom was naturally handed over to Qingye.

As for war reparations, the village leadership has not yet announced the specific amount of compensation received.

-

Aoya thought that it shouldn't be a complete loss, but it would definitely be an amount that wouldn't satisfy the Konoha ninjas.

Amidst veiled criticism, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, officially announced his resignation as Hokage.

The election for the Fourth Hokage has officially begun!

All the Jonin from the entire village gathered at the Hokage Building, and even the Jonin stationed on the border sent their votes by mail.

Inside the Hokage Building, the vote counting quickly came to an end.

After deducting some abstentions from all the Jonin in the village, the remaining votes showed that Minato Namikaze won against Orochimaru by a significant margin.

"Congratulations, teacher, you can now be called Hokage!"

Kakashi was the first to offer his congratulations.

Minato Namikaze pursed his lips, trying hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, but he couldn't completely suppress the joy in his heart.

You've finally become Hokage!

His dream, which he started at the ninja academy, has finally come true today!

"Minato, Konoha will be in your hands from now on."

Looking at Minato's youthful face, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt both gratified and moved.

"I will protect Konoha's future with my life!"

Minato Namikaze's expression was resolute.

"I trust you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then looked at Orochimaru on the other side. He saw that his disciple had no expression on his face, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.

"Congratulations, Minato."

Orochimaru walked over, offered his congratulations, and then completely ignored Hiruzen Sarutobi, turning around and leaving.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been hesitant and conflicted about what to say, froze on his face upon seeing Orochimaru's expression.

"Orochimaru-senpai is probably just feeling a little regretful; Third Hokage, don't worry about it," Minato Namikaze comforted him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head with a wry smile.

I hope so.

In September of Konoha Year 47, the Hokage succession ceremony was successfully held.

After successfully succeeding to the position of Hokage, Minato Namikaze led the three Shadow Guards—Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, and Iwashi Tatomi—whose combined age might not even be the size of a shoe, to the Land of Fire to pay homage to the Daimyo.

After another month passed peacefully, Aoya's Mangekyou Chakra Loan officially began its countdown.

Name: Uchiha Aoya

Age: 13

[Bloodline Limit: Sharingan (Mangekyou)]

Chakra Properties: Fire, Lightning, Yin

【数值：精6（9）、体9、力7、速9、忍10、印9、幻9、贤9】

"Physical strength and power each increased by one point, ninjutsu and hand seals both increased by two points, speed and illusion remain at 9."

Qingye checked her personal attribute panel again.

The sum of all the values ​​just exceeded 70, reaching 71 points.

Strength and speed are both limited by age.

At my current age of 13, even after nearly a year of weight training, it will be difficult to improve my speed any further.

As for illusion magic, maxing it out would require further improvement in skill and understanding.

"Illusion techniques are secondary; physical skills, on the other hand, can still be improved."

"Yes, and there's also the potential to further improve hand seals and chakra control. Ideally, one should be able to bring something to life with a simple clasp of the hands."

"As for chakra, my chakra reserves should have increased a little bit more, right?"

If it weren't for the restrictions on repaying chakra loans, Qingye felt that his chakra limit should have increased from the original ten chakras to about eleven chakras.

After all, I'm a year older.

Even after that, until adulthood, there should still be the potential to increase by two or three calories.

Open the system panel to view your personal loan interface.

I waited quietly, watching the loan repayment countdown drop to less than an hour, then to just one minute, and finally the countdown began!

Finish!

Silently, the chakra restriction was lifted!

The previously suppressed physical and mental energy has been restored!

Photoshop will try its best to blur the values ​​of the other seven items besides precision.
