Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Leaf.

Hokage Building.

Hearing Chiba's words.

Hiashi Hyuga clenched his teeth, his jaw tense.

Of course he was unwilling to accept it!

Since the development of Soft Fist, it has evolved into the 128 palms of Bagua.

The Hyuga clan was completely blocked.

No matter how much you train, the Byakugan's power will remain the same.

Compared to the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

The Hyuga clan is indeed somewhat lacking these days.

"The Sharingan can evolve from the three-tomoe Sharingan into the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Why can't the Byakugan evolve?"

Chiba put forward a fatal assumption.

Japan was stunned.

Can the white-eyed form evolve?

There is no record of this in our family's ancient books!

But if the fifth generation said that, is there really a way out?

"People should not be limited by history."

"What Orochimaru has in his head is far more useful than the ancient texts of your main family."

"Cooperate with his research."

"Exploring the deepest secrets of the Byakugan."

"The Hyuga clan may be able to display unprecedented glory."

Chiba's fingers tapped lightly on the table.

Hiashi Hyuga's hands trembled with excitement.

The hope for the evolution of the white-eyed!

This is something that no Hyuga clan leader in history could even dream of.

"The Hyuga clan!"

"I will obey the Hokage's orders!"

"If Minister Orochimaru needs anything in his research, Hyuga will be happy to lend a hand!"

next moment.

Following Fugaku Uchiha's example, Hiashi Hyuga also knelt down on one knee with a thud.

Looking at the two powerful clan leaders kneeling on the ground.

The heads of the other families all swallowed hard.

The Fifth Hokage's methods are simply divine!

With just a few words, he not only resolved the biggest obstacle in the village.

He even got the Uchiha and Hyuga to willingly become Orochimaru's bodyguards.

This ability to see into people's hearts and manipulate desires is even more terrifying than Wood Release!

"Get up, everyone."

Chiba waved his hand.

Fugaku Uchiha and Hiashi Hyuga respectfully returned to their seats.

But their eyes were shining.

Then.

Chiba glanced at the others.

"I know what everyone is worried about."

"Orochimaru really had no bottom line in the past."

"But I've already set rules for him."

"All experiments must be conducted openly."

"The research department will establish an oversight committee."

"Each major family can send someone to oversee the situation."

"No matter what kind of experiment it is, you are not allowed to use Konoha civilians and ninjas for experiments."

"We'll select the materials from prisoners of war from enemy ninja villages."

"Orochimaru dared to cross the line."

"I'll be the first to twist his head off."

With Chiba's assurance...

The heads of the various families finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you don't target your own people.

They used prisoners from other villages to conduct experiments.

People not only didn't object, but they were actually quite supportive.

After all, the ninja world is a place where the strong prey on the weak.

Their lives will be better when Konoha becomes stronger.

"Since everyone agrees that Orochimaru should return to the village."

"Then take a look at this document."

A moment later.

Chiba took out a document and tossed it to Nara Shikaku, who was on his left.

Nara Shikaku quickly took it.

I turned to the first page and read just two lines.

Nara Shikaku's hand trembled slightly.

He glanced up at Chiba, then looked down again to continue reading.

The more I look at it...

Nara Shikaku's expression grew increasingly strange.

It looked like he wanted to laugh, but he held it back tightly.

Next.

The documents were passed around quickly among the clan chiefs.

soon/

Everyone has finished reading it.

The meeting room fell silent once again.

This time, I had to hold back my laughter.

This document is a public "truth manual".

Orochimaru in the story is portrayed as a tragic hero who endures humiliation and hardship.

During World War II and World War III.

Orochimaru risked his life for Konoha and made great contributions in battle.

As for those horrific human experiments?

Excuse me.

That was all done by Danzo Shimura, who carried the Third Hokage on his back!

Orochimaru was just an innocent scientist coerced by Danzo.

Tuanzang withheld research funds.

Danzo kidnapped civilians from Konoha.

Danzo threatened Orochimaru's life, forcing him to conduct inhumane experiments.

In order to preserve his forces, Orochimaru had no choice but to reluctantly defect.

After years of wandering, he finally got his name cleared.

The current Fifth Hokage is wise and powerful, and has destroyed the heinous Danzo.

Orochimaru, this hero, can finally return to Konoha, which he loves so much.

"this……"

Yamanaka Inoichi's lips twitched.

That black pot was covered up way too tightly!

Danzo has been dead for several years, and the grass on his grave is already two meters tall.

And now.

He would be dragged out and whipped, and even stomped on a couple more times.

"What's wrong?"

"Isn't this explanation of the truth moving enough?"

Chiba leaned back in his chair and asked with great interest.

He was not afraid of the villagers causing trouble.

With his current strength and prestige.

Even if you directly say, "I'm going to use Orochimaru," no one would dare to utter a word.

But he hates trouble.

The villagers pointed fingers and gossiped, and the public criticized them.

Dealing with these messes is such a waste of time.

Since Danzo is already recognized as a scoundrel in Konoha.

Why not just pour all the dirty water on him?

Anyway, the dead can't argue.

"Touching!"

"So touching!"

Fugaku Uchiha was the first to loudly express his opinion.

"That old villain Danzo has committed countless evil deeds!"

"Poor Orochimaru, he's suffered so much injustice outside all these years."

"The Hokage is truly wise!"

Fugaku Uchiha is currently preoccupied with resolving the issue of the Mangekyou Sharingan's blindness.

Don't try to shift the blame to Danzo.

Even if it were given to Madara Uchiha, he would wholeheartedly agree.

"Indeed."

Hiashi Hyuga followed closely behind.

"There are actually many suspicious points about what happened back then."

"Now that the truth has come out, it is truly a blessing for Konoha."

The two bigwigs set the tone.

No one else would object.

"Since no one has any objections."

Chiba tapped on the table.

"Shikaku."

"I'm leaving this matter to you."

Within three days.

"I want everyone in Konoha to know that Orochimaru is a good person who has been wronged."

"..."

Nara Shikaku immediately stood up.

"We guarantee the mission will be completed."

Chiba waved his hand.

Meeting adjourned.

The crowd filed out.

In the corridor, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.

Following the Fifth Generation will lead to a bright future.

But whatever you do, don't offend the Fifth Generation.

Otherwise, you'll be blamed even if you die.

Two days later.

Public opinion in Konoha Village has shifted.

The ninja from the Anbu spread the news in various taverns and teahouses.

Orochimaru's tragic past was woven into various versions of the story and passed down orally among the villagers.

"Have you heard?"

"Lord Orochimaru was actually framed back then!"

"It was all that old bastard Danzo's doing!"

"Poor Lord Orochimaru, he shed so much blood for the village, and in the end he still has to take the blame."

"The Fifth Hokage is truly a benevolent and just official!"

"Yes, yes, bringing Lord Orochimaru back is the wise thing to do."

"..."

The villagers' emotions are easily stirred up.

Especially after Chiba came to power, everyone's living standards improved dramatically.

The villagers naturally placed a blind trust in Chiba's decision.
