Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"It can't be wrong. It's the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and his wife Sarutobi Biwako. They arrived in the Land of Waves a while ago by passenger ship and will be at the company soon."

Kakuzu took out two photos, one of Sarutobi Hiruzen and one of Sarutobi Biwako.

"The Third Hokage actually brought his wife to the Land of Waves..."

Uzumaki Chigusa couldn't figure out the purpose of the Sarutobi couple's visit. If they wanted to invite them to join Konoha, they wouldn't have brought their wives to the Land of Waves, right?

Sarutobi Hiruzen brought his wife to the Land of Waves, and it made her feel more like they were just visiting the Land of Waves.

Uzumaki Chigusa had asked the villagers about their opinions not long ago. Most of them wanted to stay in the Land of Waves, a small number wanted to rebuild the Village of Uzushiogakure, and a very small number who wanted to join Konoha changed their minds after seeing that so many people wanted to stay in the Land of Waves.

Instead, they began to worry that the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company would drive them away after they recovered.

Regarding this, Uzumaki Chigusa also wanted to know how Orochimaru would accommodate the survivors of the village when he knew that they wanted to stay.

On the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Biwako walked and played along the way and came to the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company. They were surprised at the prosperity near the company and walked into the company gate.

"Welcome."

Iryu walked forward with a polite smile to greet the Sarutobi couple.

"Ms. Yiliu?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Iru in surprise. He didn't expect her to come back to greet him. He was not surprised at all that his and his wife's whereabouts were exposed. He and his wife did not deliberately hide their whereabouts along the way, so it would be strange that they were not discovered.

"Sir, I know why you are here. Please follow me."

Iryu's smile widened as he beckoned the Sarutobi couple to follow him to the rest area on the rooftop of the company building.

Ding--!

The elevator doors opened, and the Sarutobi couple followed Iru out of the elevator, seeing a particularly comfortable lounge area.

There is also a swimming pool!

Sarutobi Hiruzen's attention was drawn to the swimming pool over there, where he saw men and women in swimsuits.

"Ahem..."

Sarutobi Biwako noticed the look Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the swimsuit beauty, coughed lightly, and his serious expression darkened slightly.

not good!

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately withdrew his gaze, smiled awkwardly, and under the guidance of Iru, came to the other side of the rooftop rest area and met Uzumaki Chigusa.

"Then I won't bother you any more."

Yi Liu smiled, took two steps back, and turned to leave.

"Third generation, Biwako, you are here."

Uzumaki Chigusa greeted the Sarutobi couple and sat down at a table near the bar, where a parasol shielded them from the scorching sun.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uzumaki Chigusa, who looked fine, and asked, "Chief Chigusa, how are the people of Uzushiogakure living in the Land of Waves?"

"Life in Wave Country is okay, but it will take time to recover from the loss of my homeland."

Uzumaki Chigusa sighed, then thought of something and asked, "Third Hokage, what happened to Konoha? I only learned that Konoha was attacked by the Sky Ninja after I came to Wave Country."

Uzumaki Chigusa and Sarutobi Hiruzen chatted like this, talking about the crisis Konoha had faced before and then about the Uzushiogakure Village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen came with the intention of resolving the misunderstanding. He didn't want the survivors of the Hidden Uzushio Village to misunderstand Konoha.

Of course, this is just one of the reasons why he came to the Land of Waves.

Sarutobi Biwako saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't seem to have any intention of inviting the survivors of the Uzushiogakure to join Konoha, so he didn't know what to say.

"Chief Qiancao, what are your plans for the future?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought the time was almost right, all the misunderstandings had been resolved, so it was time to get down to business.

It would be great if the Uzumaki clan could join Konoha. With Lord Mito around, the Uzumaki clan would be able to integrate into Konoha more quickly.

The newly established sealing team will be more complete, and with the Uzumaki clan, there is no need to worry about the jinchūriki of other ninja villages.

"It's nice to start a new life in Wave Country. Wave Country has a beautiful environment, and the company saved our lives. Settling down in Wave Country is a good choice for us."

Uzumaki Chigusa saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to invite them to join Konoha.

After the Uzushiogakure Village was destroyed by the four major ninja villages, the peace agreement with Konoha had long been in name only and could be regarded as non-existent.

During her conversation with Sarutobi Hiruzen, she had learned about the crisis Konoha was facing at the time.

This was consistent with the intelligence gathered by the company, proving that Sarutobi Hiruzen had not lied to her.

Do the survivors of the village hate the four great ninja villages that destroyed the Uzushiogakure?

hatred!

How can they not feel hatred when their homes are destroyed and their people are killed?

I can’t wait to fight the four major ninja villages!

Can I get revenge by joining Konoha?

the answer is negative.

Once they join Konoha, they become Konoha's people, need to consider the interests of Konoha, and need to let go of their hatred towards the four major ninja villages.

If that’s the case, then why don’t they stay in Wave Country, a small island country with beautiful scenery located in the temperate zone?

Since both of them have to let go of hatred, staying in the Land of Waves is obviously better than joining Konoha.

Joining Konoha will give some people an unrealistic hope, that is, the hope of revenge.

"Being in the Land of Waves is indeed a good choice."

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed dryly and asked, "Chigusa clan leader, I wonder if you have ever considered Konoha?"

Now that we're here, I might as well ask, what if the survivors of the Hidden Uzushio Village have any thoughts of joining Konoha?

Sarutobi Hiruzen still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Third generation, I may disappoint you."

Uzumaki Chigusa smiled and said, "Staying in Wave Country is everyone's decision, not mine."

"Haha... what a pity."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled awkwardly. Uzumaki Chigusa had already made it so clear, but he still wanted to give it a try, but the result was still no change.

"Third generation, Konoha will not declare war on the four major ninja villages for us, right?"

Uzumaki Chigusa looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Biwako and made things clear directly, showing her hatred towards the four major ninja villages for the first time.

"I and the survivors of the village need to learn to let go of hatred. This is the same in both the Land of Waves and Konoha... Our homes have been destroyed, and so many people have died..."

"This hatred is hard to let go. Our joining Konoha is not a good thing for Konoha. Hatred that is hard to let go may bring disaster to Konoha."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen left the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company building, he was still thinking about what Uzumaki Chigusa said.

The Uzushiogakure Village has been destroyed like that. Can he stop the survivors of the Uzushiogakure Village from seeking revenge on the four major ninja villages?

But once they join Konoha, they become Konoha's people, and they need to consider whether their revenge will bring trouble to Konoha or affect Konoha's interests.

Although there are signs of war, it is still a long way from breaking out.

No one can tell what will become the fuse and lead to the outbreak of war.

"Huruzen, are you thinking about them?"

Sarutobi Biwako looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him and saw that he was in deep thought and didn't even pay attention to the beautiful women walking on the street.

"Um……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. Uzumaki Chigusa was right. Their joining might not be a good thing for Konoha.

The survivors of the Hidden Uzushio Village were different from the Ibri Clan. The Ibri Clan was originally a ninja clan living near Konoha. They would not bring any hidden dangers if they joined Konoha, but the survivors of the Hidden Uzushio Village were different...

If they want to take revenge on the four major ninja villages, he will have no choice but to stop them. It will be a hot potato.

Stopping it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Uzumaki clan.

If he doesn't stop them, what if their revenge affects the village? How will he explain to the villagers?

Punish the Uzumaki clan?

Revenge is a legitimate thing for people. Even if he is the Hokage, he cannot stop them from avenging their destroyed hometown and the murdered clansmen, right?

The more Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He felt that being Hokage was really difficult.

It’s so frustrating. It’s really frustrating.

"Lake Biwa, it's so hard for me..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen could only complain to his wife.

"Ugh……"

Sarutobi Biwako sighed, placed his hand on Sarutobi Hiruzen's shoulder and patted it gently.

Volume 128: Chapter Regret, I really regret it

Konoha, Ninja School.

The newly established sealing class is located in the Ninja School, which selects children with talent in learning sealing techniques and trains them from a young age.

Since the sealing techniques they were taught were performed by multiple casters working together, the chakra requirements were not high.

These kids are learning the art of sealing? Is that true?

Orochimaru stood at the door of the classroom, looking at the children sitting in the classroom, raised his head at the class sign that read "Sealing Class", and looked at Grandma Mito beside him with a glimmer of hope.

"Mother Mito, could they be the Sealing Ninjas of the Sealing Team?"

"They are very good children, right? I selected them because they have a talent for learning the Sealing Technique."

Uzumaki Mito looked at the children in the classroom with a smile on her face. She would go to teach them in a while.

"It will take a long time to train them into Sealed Ninja."

Orochimaru thought it was necessary to remind Grandma Mito that excellent sealing ninjas can be cultivated from childhood, but it takes a very long time. Moreover, the sealing technique is a very advanced technique that requires a wealth of knowledge accumulation.

Otherwise, she would not have suggested that multiple practitioners perform the sealing technique in order to reduce the difficulty of learning the sealing technique and quickly cultivate sealing ninjas who can seal the Jinchūriki.

The result was the opposite of what she expected.

Grandma Mito is obviously teaching these children the same way that the Hidden Ninja of Uzushio Village trains sealed ninjas.

Orochimaru looked at the children in the classroom who hadn't noticed their arrival yet.

"Relax, Orochimaru."

Uzumaki Mito saw that Orochimaru seemed to be worried about something, "The Jinchūriki of each country's ninja village need to be trained from a young age. This period of time is enough for Konoha to train a group of excellent seal ninjas."

"So, you're asking me to take care of the rope tree?"

Orochimaru looked down at the rope tree that was tugging at the edge of her clothes.

"Whee!"

Rope Tree noticed Orochimaru's gaze, looked up and smiled brightly, showing a row of white and neat little teeth.

"I don't know why. Nawaki likes you very much. He doesn't like Tsuna that much."

Uzumaki Mito looked at Nawaki who was very clingy to Orochimaru. It was really strange that this child was more affectionate to Orochimaru than to his own sister.

"Do I look like a kid?"

Orochimaru pointed at her own face. She really didn't understand why her face was so popular among children.

"Well, I see you're quite popular with the kids!"

Uzumaki Mito stared at Orochimaru's face for a while, then nodded seriously, "Maybe you'll be welcomed by the children of the Sealing Class in the future!"

Orochimaru gives people the impression that she is cold and difficult to approach. In fact, after getting to know her, you will find that she is easy to approach and patient. She is also very stubborn about some things and will not be easily influenced by others.

This can be seen from the fact that Hiruzen often tries to make her interested in the position of Hokage. She really has no interest in the position of Hokage and even despises it, which makes her laugh and cry.

Due to Orochimaru's contribution to Konoha, he is very popular in Konoha and has very good relationships with all the major ninja clans. Even the Uchiha clan has a close relationship with him.

If she wanted to be Hokage, and if she wasn't too young, Hiruzen would probably be eager to retire early.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru was dismissive of the position of Hokage and had no interest in it at all.

If Hashirama knew that the position of Hokage would be despised so much, he would probably be devastated and show that very interesting expression, right?
