Ninja World: I am really a support ninja

Just through a crystal ball, Sarutobi Hiruzen can observe every place inside Konoha like an "old witch".

The art of telescope is a powerful tool for spying and gathering intelligence. After having a premonition, Hatake Akira had to be on guard.

"It's a great ideal, I hope you can do what you say." Minato Namikaze nodded with a smile.

"What about you, teacher? What is your dream?" asked Akira Hatake.

"My dream is very simple, which is to protect." Namikaze Minato looked up at the sky, "to protect those who need to be protected, and to protect the places that need to be protected by me."

"It's difficult." Hatake Akira nodded and made his comment.

"If it's not difficult, how can it be called a dream? Once you have a goal, just move forward courageously." Namikaze Minato smiled, then looked at Kakashi, "Kakashi, what is your dream?"

"Me?" Hatake Kakashi put down the barbecue in his hand and sat up straight, "My dream is not much different from Minato-sensei's. In addition to protecting, I have also changed."

"Change? Change what?" Namikaze Minato became interested.

"Change..." Hatake Kakashi paused, realizing the hint Hatake Akira gave him, "Change the entire ninja world, so that there will be no more wars in the ninja world, and everyone can live, grow old, get sick and die in peace."

"It's an equally great ideal, but it's going to be much harder to achieve." Namikaze Minato ruffled Kakashi's hair, "Then you have to work hard. The obstacles you'll encounter in the future are unimaginable."

"I will, Minato-sensei!" Kakashi nodded, and then added in his mind, "If it's difficult to change the entire ninja world, let's start with Konoha..."

"And you, Kai?"

"Ah? Me?" Might Guy, who had been eating voraciously, came back to his senses, scratched his head and laughed, "Haha, my wish is very simple, I hope my youth will always be passionate and never fade!"

"You are worthy of being called Gai. I hope you can always remember what I said today." Namikaze Minato looked at Might Guy meaningfully, "Your dream is the most difficult in the world. It is really the most difficult thing to constantly surpass yourself."

"As long as I work hard enough and live up to my youth, it doesn't matter whether it's difficult or not." Might Guy shook his head, "As long as I work harder today than I did yesterday, no matter how difficult it is, it will eventually pass."

"Kai, you remind me of a character in the book 'The Legend of the Perseverant Ninja'." Namikaze Minato sighed, "I hope you can keep up this momentum, then I don't need to worry about your future at all."

……

Hokage Building, Hokage Office.

The place was filled with smoke and brightly lit. Hidden in the smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned back in the Hokage chair, staring intently at the crystal ball placed on the desk.

The figures reflected inside were all the members of Team 8 who were having dinner together, plus the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina.

"With three disciples with such bright futures, I hope you won't be blinded and do something disappointing..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sucked on his pipe, looked at Namikaze Minato in the crystal ball, and slowly uttered a word.

Minato Namikaze is the new generation leader that Sarutobi Hiruzen values ​​the most, so naturally there is a lot of attention paid to him.

And now, the three disciples of Minato Namikaze have also demonstrated their strength and potential, which makes Sarutobi Hiruzen a little worried.

The power behind Minato Namikaze has unknowingly expanded to a certain extent.

Although it will take a long time to fully materialize the power behind the scenes, Minato Namikaze already has the potential to become a chess player.

"Sakumo, Minato...you two really gave me a difficult problem!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his forehead in distress, then took out the evaluation report of Team 8 submitted by Namikaze Minato.

"I have only just gained a rough idea of ​​Hatake Akira's abilities, but no matter how you look at it, this is a very powerful bloodline limit, not even weaker than that of the Uchiha clan."

"It can assist in strengthening, attack the enemy's weakening, and heal non-fatal injuries... With such a comprehensive ability, as long as it is well developed, it will definitely reach the level of a shadow in the future."

"And Hatake Kakashi's talent is not inferior to Hatake Akira. Even if he is not as good as Hatake Akira in the future, he should not be far behind."

"As for Might Guy, although he specializes in physical skills, with Minato's ability, it won't be a big problem to train him into an elite ninja."

"If that's the case, Team 8 will have three Kage-level members and one elite jonin in the future. If Sakumo is included, there will be four Kage-level members... I'm a little worried about this powerful force!"

The place was filled with smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were uncertain, and then a heavy sigh was heard.

"Forget it. Team 8 and Sakumo's loyalty to Konoha is not a problem at all. I should have a good talk with Danzo then... I hope he can stop."

With a light touch of his hand on the crystal ball, the image inside disappeared. Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, put on the Hokage's hat, and left the office.

Chapter 41 Orochimaru is sinking.

At the root of Konoha, in a secret underground laboratory.

Red, blue, purple, various colored medicines were meticulously displayed on the shelves. Large culture tanks were placed on the left and right, with bubbles coming out of them and some strange embryo samples soaked in them.

"Orochimaru, how's the research going?"

Danzo Shimura walked forward with a gloomy face, a chilling light flashing in his one eye. He was gradually losing patience with Orochimaru.

"same as usual."

Orochimaru did not stop what he was doing, and when he answered Danzo Shimura, he was calm and did not give him a good look at all.

"You..." Shimura Danzo wanted to accuse him, but he suppressed his anger in the end, "Orochimaru, we don't have much time left."

"I know, but the research on Hashirama's cells is not something that can be accomplished overnight."

Orochimaru still looked calm, "Didn't the experimental subject named Yamato serve you? I think his blood should be enough to suppress the negative effects of your Sharingan."

"But this is not enough!"

Shimura Danzo stepped forward, "Namikaze Minato is now the leading teacher, and his two disciples are the Hatake brothers! My situation is not good."

"So what?" Orochimaru didn't care at all. "Namikaze Minato is not qualified to be the next Hokage in terms of qualifications or strength. Instead of worrying about him, you should worry about Sakumo."

"Do you think I don't want to?" Shimura Danzo said displeasedly, "Hatake Sakumo does everything perfectly. I can't find any chance to bring him down except assassinating him!"

"Then wait." Orochimaru finally put down what he was doing, "Sakumo is a very pure ninja. He is not like you or my teacher, a politician who is dark to the core."

"Heh, but that's no reason for you to use my resources and not work hard for me!" Shimura Danzo was angry, "Except for the success of Yamato's experimental subject, you have basically made no achievements in the research of Hashirama's cells in the past few years!"

Shimura Danzo pointed to the biological specimens in the culture tank and said, "And don't think I don't know what you are doing with the power and resources I gave you. The technique you are researching is very dangerous!"

"This is none of Danzo's business, and..." Orochimaru threw a test tube to Shimura Danzo, "I have achieved new results in my research on Hashirama's cells."

"This is……"

Danzo Shimura observed the test tube in his hand, with a look of joy and curiosity on his face.

"As you wish, this is a diluted version of Hashirama's cells. It can enhance your physique in all aspects and is relatively safe to a certain extent."

"What do you mean by a certain degree? What do you mean by relatively safe?!" Danzo Shimura was a little unhappy and was not satisfied with Orochimaru's research results this time.

"When used in conjunction with the Three Magatama Sharingan in your eyes, this version of Hashirama's cells is very safe. However, due to the limitations of the Three Magatama Sharingan, there is an upper limit to the improvement of your physique and vitality. Once the upper limit is exceeded, there will be a danger of your body turning into wood."

Orochimaru explained briefly, with a playful look on his face.

"Master Danzo, I am very grateful for providing me with the materials needed for research, but this is the limit of what I can do now. If you want to go further, please consider the Uchiha clan."

"What do you mean?"

"Change to a Mangekyō Sharingan." Orochimaru said in a flat tone.

"Are you kidding me?" Shimura Danzo said fiercely, but his eyes betrayed his true thoughts. "Do you think... this is possible?"

"Why not?" Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth, his long tongue waving wantonly, "I am the authority in scientific research, and you... Danzo-sama, are also a very good research material!"

"Hahaha!" Looking at Shimura Danzo's gloomy face, Orochimaru smiled happily with his snake pupils open, "The relationship between the Sharingan and even the Mangekyō Sharingan and Hashirama's cells that restrain and depend on each other, I am becoming more and more interested!"

"But please rest assured, I have made up my mind. As long as Lord Danzo can get the Mangekyō Sharingan, I can guarantee that your strength will reach a new level. It is not impossible for you to become Hokage in the future with your own strength."

"Humph!" Shimura Danzo waved his sleeves, then turned and left, "I'll find a way to deal with the Mangekyō Sharingan, but you have to hurry up too, Orochimaru..."

Shimura Danzo's voice gradually faded away, and soon only Orochimaru and his bottles and jars were left in the underground laboratory.

The crazy smile on his face disappeared, and Orochimaru looked towards the Hokage Building with some concern.

"Teacher, Danzo's ambition can no longer be stopped. Although I am using his ambition to facilitate myself, if this continues... Konoha will be completely corrupted."

Even though Orochimaru is now gradually losing control of what he is doing and is increasingly deviating from moral principles, he still has deep feelings for his mentor Sarutobi Hiruzen and Konoha, the city where he was born and raised.

"But what you did... is really disappointing!" Orochimaru shook his head, "Teacher, you will regret it one day..."

After saying that, Orochimaru no longer cared about these things. His eyes were fixed on the bottles and jars, with a curious light in his eyes. He reached out his hand and gently stroked them with some fascination, as if he was looking at his own wife.

“Whether it is a force or an individual, their life is always fragile. After a hundred or a thousand years, they will eventually dissolve into dust, leaving no trace in the world.”

"But knowledge is different. It will be passed down forever along with our will. One day after we disappear, there will still be people who come after us who will remember our names and pass on our will."

"For example, the many forbidden techniques developed by the Second Generation, every time I study them I can see his former genius and wisdom, which is so impressive."

"But in the end, I found that there was so much knowledge I wanted to learn and so many things I wanted to study, so many that I could never master even a single one of them in my entire life. I was unwilling to give up!"

Orochimaru muttered to himself for a while, then clenched his fists, with a slightly ferocious expression on his face.

"So, I want to live forever, and have enough power to protect me to live!" Orochimaru finally glanced in the direction of the Hokage Building, "I'm sorry, teacher, I may disappoint you..."

"But before I disappoint you, I should be able to do something for you, such as making you fully determined to deal with Shimura Danzo!"

Orochimaru, he has never been a good person.

All we can say is that he is a "mad scientist" who is unorthodox and unacceptable to the world, and a complete egoist.

But precisely because of this, many of Orochimaru's research results are enough to astonish the world.

But before he completely fell into depravity, Orochimaru still had some conscience and decided to repay Sarutobi Hiruzen and Konoha, the place that gave birth to him and raised him, in his own way.

creak...

There was a teeth-grinding sound of a door closing, and Orochimaru walked out of the underground laboratory, tidied his clothes, and walked towards the Hatake residence.

Chapter 42: Tyrants and Hypocrites.

Leaves, roots.

"Danzo, how long has it been since we had a good talk?"

The reason why Danzo Shimura left Orochimaru's secret experimental base in a hurry was naturally because of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Why would this guy suddenly visit the Root so late?

Isn't Sarutobi Hiruzen afraid that I will assassinate him in the Root and then take the position of Hokage?

But even if he complained, even if Danzo Shimura had 100 times the courage, he would not dare to assassinate Sarutobi Hiruzen at the Root.

"Humph, I don't know!" Shimura Danzo turned his head away, but then there was a look of reminiscence in his eyes, "Probably since we won the First Ninja World War and had different opinions, we haven't had a serious conversation since then..."

"Yes, you have your ideals, and I have mine." Sarutobi Hiruzen found a place to sit down, "But differences of opinion are not a reason for you to cause internal friction in Konoha!"

"Oh, I knew that when you came to see me today, you had no intention of having a proper talk with me!"
