Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 68 The Thought of Becoming Hokage

"I thought he would fail and run away, but unfortunately Sarutobi-sensei is really old. If he were sixty or fifty years old, he probably wouldn't have compromised like this."

Orochimaru said with a smile that he originally wanted to say that Hiruzen Sarutobi was sixty years old, but Hiruzen Sarutobi had just let him go at that time, and he also had this indecisive personality, so he brought it forward by ten years.

Kabuto Yakushi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That really gave me a fright. I thought I was going to have to run away with Lord Orochimaru and Yosuke."

"Kabuto, don't worry. Since Yosuke said he would, he'll definitely do it. It's just that your abilities seem to have been exposed. Is that alright?"

Orochimaru chuckled and said that Hakuun Yosuke didn't mind. How could the Flying Thunder God Technique be hidden? It would be exposed sooner or later.

"It's alright, it's just a little trouble, nothing serious."

Bai Yunyang changed his mind after thinking about Tsunade. He'll probably have to appease this older, irritable teacher when he gets back, and he'll need to come up with a good reason for it.

Then, Shiraku Yosuke tilted his head and asked, "You must have many subordinates, right? Have you already made arrangements?"

Orochimaru casually replied, "They're waiting at the base outside. If we bring them all here, wouldn't we be wiped out by Konoha? If I need anything, I'll have them run errands for me."

"Human experimentation, that's why you defected from Konoha before. If you continue with illegal human experimentation this time, even if I invoke the Daimyo's name, it won't work. Let's try a different method."

Hakuun Yosuke paused for a moment, then continued to Orochimaru, "The Second Hokage conducted far more human experiments than you, but his methods are something you should learn from. Despite the same human experiments, the Second Hokage is still revered by everyone."

"Because he is the Hokage."

"Because it's legal!" Shiraku Yosuke interrupted, "Even the Hokage can't lay a hand on his own people; if you ever need test subjects in the future, I'll have someone get them for you. Death row inmates are the least valuable in the ninja world, so forget about those who are captured."

"Oh"

Orochimaru smiled upon hearing this and said, "I don't care, as long as I can experiment with forbidden techniques, that's enough. Besides, as long as you help me, Yosuke-kun, I probably won't need that many test subjects."

When he said the last sentence, Orochimaru's vertical pupils showed a strong interest, as if he wanted to dig out every detail of Yosuke Shirakumo.

That gaze didn't have any special pupil technique characteristics, yet it seemed to see through everything, and it could immediately control the dragon vein's energy, knowing his plans. Orochimaru couldn't help but feel excited every time he thought of this.

He wanted to master all the ninjutsu in the world, but that would require a long lifespan, which is why Orochimaru researched the art of immortality. But now, Orochimaru saw this possibility in Yosuke Shirakumo.

At this moment, neither the Rinnegan nor the Sharingan were as appealing to Yosuke Shirakumo as his abilities.

"You're plotting against me again. You think that every time we meet. Give up, Orochimaru. This ability isn't a bloodline limit; it's beyond your comprehension."

After glancing at Orochimaru, Hakuun Yosuke said calmly that his thoughts were too strong, as pure as a child making a wish to his father.

Even without speaking, the message emanating from him was the same as constantly whispering in his ear, pleading, "Let me study your abilities."

Orochimaru licked his lips and said, "Sorry, I'm just too fond of researching the unknown. But I hope Yosuke-kun will give me a chance in the future, hehe."

"We'll see when the time comes."

Bai Yunyang changed the subject, asking, "You've also chosen your 'detention location,' about two thousand meters outside the Death Forest. Do you need me to prepare all the other research equipment for you?"

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "I haven't come away empty-handed either, so there's no need to worry."

"That's good. I can contact the daimyo anytime now. Just let me know if you need anything. Are you all set on your end?"

Bai Yunyangjie breathed a slight sigh of relief and asked. He was really afraid that Orochimaru would give him a stack of equipment lists; although the Daimyo had given him 100 million ryo, Bai Yunyangjie still wanted to use it as start-up capital.

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "The Akatsuki? I don't need to care about them unless they dare come to Konoha to find me. Heh, but they probably won't do that. Yosuke-kun, want to know their plans?"

"No one knows the Akatsuki better than me, Orochimaru."

Baiyun Youjie shrugged and said that the Akatsuki organization is not a threat for the time being, unless they suddenly decide to attack Konoha.

However, these rogue ninjas who are essentially mercenaries could very well be hired by other ninja villages.

"I already said it wasn't me, don't make me repeat myself, old man!"

Tsunade slammed her fist on the table in anger and shouted, "I'm being questioned as soon as I get back! And it's one thing if it's Hiruzen Sarutobi, but what are Jiraiya, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane getting involved with?!"

"Before I left, I entrusted the scrolls at home to the village for safekeeping. You haven't returned them to me since I came back, and besides, I don't know the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

After saying that, Tsunade added, clearly annoyed, "Besides, so what if you taught Yosuke? He's from the Land of Fire now. What are you thinking, old man? Can't you tell who's on your side anymore?"

After saying that, Tsunade glared at Jiraiya. Why was he in such a hurry to ask? The Flying Thunder God Technique was invented by her great-uncle, not by Minato Namikaze.

If it were before, Shirokumo Yosuke had feelings for Orochimaru, and Orochimaru might launch the Konoha Crush Plan to destroy Konoha, so he could tolerate being wary of her.

But now that Hakuun Yosuke is one of us, and Orochimaru is right under our noses, he won't launch the Konoha Crush plan, so what is there to be wary of?

That old man is really something.

Tsunade, seething with anger, blurted out, "Old man, you're getting old!"

After saying that, a thought inexplicably arose in her mind: why not be the Hokage herself!

Before, Tsunade had no intention of becoming Hokage, but now she increasingly felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi was not right for her; he not only lacked vision but was also quite confused.

"It's not certain yet that Shirakumo Yosuke will definitely use the Flying Thunder God Technique. I'm just asking because I'm worried about the forbidden technique scroll being leaked."

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained calmly, then continued before Tsunade could speak, "Let's leave it at that for now. The most important thing next is to deal with the Hidden Cloud Village. They haven't responded yet after receiving the message, which shows they are very unwilling to give up. We need to prepare for war."

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi had changed the subject, Tsunade's thoughts were cut short, and she then listened to the story about the war in Kumogakure.

However, this idea did not disappear!

It doesn't seem like a bad idea for her to become Hokage. In that case, Shirakumo Yosuke would be the Hokage's disciple and would receive the best training.
