The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

"Ninjutsu-Snow Hidden Technique!"

After testing the Snow Falling Technique, Cang Si once again performed a matching ninjutsu that he created when developing this ninjutsu.

Cang Si's body gradually became transparent until it completely disappeared from the sight of the naked eye.

Moreover, after Cang Si performed the Snow Hiding Technique, he could step on the snowflakes on the ground without leaving any traces, and the snow falling from the sky also passed directly through his body.

If someone had a God's perspective, they would be able to see that Cang Si now seemed to have really turned into snowflakes falling from the sky.

At this moment, Cang Si perfectly integrated into this icy and snowy weather.

However, it is a pity that if Cang Si launches an attack, he will destroy this balance of being one with nature and reveal his true form.

But Cang Si is already very satisfied now. If his attacks were silent, then this ninjutsu would be too abnormal.

"Yes, both the Snow Falling Technique and the Snow Hiding Technique are very practical ice escape ninjutsu. It's worth the six months and seven days I spent on them." After Cang Si came out of the Snow Hiding Technique, he stood in the snow and wind, looking quite proud.

During these six months and seven days, Cang Si spent at least five months in the Snow Kingdom.

The rest of the time he was just pretending to be in Konoha.

After all, the natural environment here is more suitable for him to develop new ice escape ninjutsu.

Up to now, Cang Si felt much more at ease.

For him now, this level is almost the peak strength he can achieve before awakening the Samsara Eye.

If we say that after Souji developed his Byakugan and Gentle Fist to the extreme, his strength can be considered that of an elite jonin.

After awakening the Ice Escape, Cang Si's strength directly reached the Kage level.

After that, the injection of corpse bone vein cells, the learning of the Peacock Magic, and the mastery of the power of Yin Dun allowed Cang Si to enter the ranks of strong shadow level.

Finally, it is now. Now that he can enter the Sage Mode relatively quickly, he has reached the super shadow level of strength.

Of course, this is just the strength stage divided by Cang Si himself. In fact, no matter whether it is Kage level, Strong Kage level, or even Super Kage level, it is still considered Kage level.

A strong man of this level is very likely to be killed by a large number of ninjas.

Only when one reaches the Six Paths level does the number of people completely lose its meaning.

Cang Si's next goal is to awaken the Samsara Eye and reach the Six Paths level!

"It's almost there. I'm almost done with the steps before the Six Paths level. The next goal is the Samsara Eye!" Cang Si thought excitedly.

After finishing this trip to the Snow Country, Cang Si estimated that he would not come to the Snow Country again for some time in the future.

Because the Third Ninja World War has now entered a white-hot stage, Cang Si has an idea in his mind and wants to try and see if he can complete it.

If it is accomplished, the ninja world will most likely not be so chaotic in the future.

"Uncle Zaoyuki, Xiaoxue, it's time for me to leave." After perfecting the two ninjutsu he created, Cang Si said goodbye to Fuuka Zaoyuki and his daughter.

"Ha, big brother, next time you come, remember to bring me some more Konoha delicacies." Fenghua Xiaoxue still said to Cang Si without knowing anything.

Cangsi has traveled back and forth between Konoha and the Snow Country several times recently, and each time he would bring some Konoha's specialty food to Fuuka and Koyuki.

So when the girl heard that Cang Si was going back to Konoha, she didn't think much about it and just reminded Cang Si.

"Xiaoxue, after I leave the Snow Country this time, I may not return to the Snow Country for a while." Cang Si said softly to Fenghua Xiaoxue.

"Ah, big brother, is it because Xiaoxue often asks you to help buy food for Konoha? Then Xiaoxue doesn't want to eat anymore, and you won't leave, okay?" After hearing what Cang Si said, Fenghua Xiaoxue almost burst into tears.

"No, no, this has nothing to do with Xiaoxue. It's because big brother has some personal matters to take care of in the next period of time, so he may not have time to come to the Snow Country." Cang Si hurriedly comforted Fenghua Xiaoxue, whose voice was already filled with tears.

This feeling doesn't feel like raising her as a fiancée at all, it's clearly like raising her as a little sister, Cang Si thought with a headache.

"Does it really have nothing to do with Xiaoxue?" Fenghua Xiaoxue asked cautiously.

"Of course. I promised Xiaoxue that as soon as I'm done with this, I'll come to the Snow Country to visit her, okay?" Cang Si coaxed with a smile.

"Okay, let's make a pinky promise." After saying that, Fenghua Xiaoxue stretched out her little finger.

In the end, after Cang Si also stretched out his little finger and made a pinky promise with Fenghua Xiaoxue, the little girl finally burst into laughter.

"I still say that. If there is anything that requires the help of the Snow Country, you can come to me at any time. Don't force yourself. We are a family." Without saying any touching words, Fenghua Zaoxue made her attitude clear.

"Yes, I will. Uncle Zaoxue, you must take care of yourself too. Xiaoxue is still so young and can't accept such a blow again." Cang Si nodded and said.

After the three of them chatted with each other for a while, Cang Si rode the summoning beast golden eagle back to Konoha that day.

The longer he stayed, the more reluctant Cang Si felt.

For Cang Si, although he only stayed in the Snow Country for a little over half a year, he already had a deep affection for that land.

Because there are people there who are worth his longing for, and who are also missing him. And a place where someone misses someone is a person's destination.

The status of the Snow Country in Cang Si's mind is no less than that of Konoha.

After returning to Konoha, Cang Si received a piece of information from the clan meeting of the main family.

That is, Konoha will launch the final battle with Sunagakure in the Kikyo Mountain area, and this battle will also determine who will be the winner of this battlefield!

In fact, since the beginning of the year, Konoha and Sunagakure have fought countless battles, big and small, on Mount Kikyo.

But there was still some restraint between the two sides, and they did not send all their ninjas forward at once.

But even so, each side's ninja army of 5000 people has now lost no less than people.

According to intelligence obtained from the Hyuga branch on the front line, both sides are now preparing to start the final war.

After all, if this continues, it will not be good news for both parties.

Konoha has opened up multiple battlefields, while Sand Village lacks the leadership of the Kazekage.

In addition, there is a tendency for the Iwagakure and the resurgent Kirigakure to take action against the Sandagakure.

So, it’s time to start the decisive battle of the Platycodon Mountain Battle!

The commander of Konoha is Orochimaru, with Minato Namikaze as his assistant.

As Rasa's strength has reached the level of Kage, the Iwagakure side is now the commander-in-chief, with Chiyo and Hagura responsible for their assistance.

These are the intelligence that Cang Si obtained on the battlefield of the Battle of Kikyo Mountain.

"If nothing unexpected happens, after the Battle of Mount Kikyo is over and Orochimaru fails in his bid for the Fourth Hokage, he will probably defect from Konoha." Souji thought calmly after finishing the clan meeting and returning home.

According to Souji's guess, Orochimaru should have already started human experiments at this time, but it has not yet involved the people in the village.

Because they are now on the battlefield, there are too many Sand Village ninjas for him to study, so there is no need to attack the people in the village.

But after defeating Sunagakure and returning to the village, there would not be so many living people for him to study.

Orochimaru, who is eager to pursue scientific research, will not hesitate to turn his evil hands to ordinary people in the village.

Then, he attacked the ninjas in the village.

When all this is exposed, Orochimaru will leave Konoha, become an S-rank rebel ninja, and then join the Akatsuki organization.

The time in between will definitely not exceed three years!

Of course, Souji is still unsure about the time when he will join Akatsuki, and it is possible that it will be delayed for a few years.

But the time of defecting from Konoha will definitely not exceed three years.

"It seems that after Orochimaru comes back this time, I have to find a time to talk to him face to face about deepening cooperation." Yes, Cang Si knew that Orochimaru would defect, but not only did he not think about avoiding him, but he wanted to take the initiative to get closer to Orochimaru.

However, all of this will be done in secret and will not be made public.

You know, with Orochimaru's scientific research talent, it was actually Konoha that restricted his development, which was also one of the reasons why he defected.

Because for Orochimaru at that time, after losing the possibility of becoming the Fourth Hokage, Konoha could no longer provide any help to his scientific research.

Only by leaving Konoha can he have a better space to perform.

Cang Si even secretly guessed that Orochimaru wanted to compete for the position of the Fourth Hokage, and maybe he also wanted to use the convenience of this identity to do more research.

Because if he becomes Hokage, no one will be able to restrict him anymore, and it will be easier to study him.

Unfortunately, his human body research was eventually exposed and was not recognized by the people in the village, so he had to leave Konoha.

It was after Orochimaru left Konoha that his scientific research ability was further improved and various ideas emerged one after another.

This is still the Orochimaru in the original work. In this life, with the intervention of Souji, who also gave Orochimaru a pair of white eyes, his scientific research ability will only be more terrifying!

What Souji wanted to do was to deepen their relationship before Orochimaru left, and even provide timely assistance when Orochimaru defected.

In this way, when Orochimaru makes a breakthrough in scientific research in the future and he needs Orochimaru's help, he will be too embarrassed to refuse, right?

In Cangsi's impression, Orochimaru is a decent person. Since you have helped him, if you want to repay him in the future, Orochimaru will not refuse.

Of course, no matter what, we still have to wait for Orochimaru to come back.

Chapter 246: Return of Orochimaru

A month after Soji returned to Konoha from the Snow Country, the Battle of Mount Kikyo finally came to an end!

Konoha paid a total price of nearly 4000 ninjas, and finally buried all 5000 ninjas of Sand Village in Kikyo Mountain.

This also means that Konoha finally won the war with Sunagakure!

At this point, Konoha has been fighting on three fronts and has defeated the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village successively. Only the Hidden Iwagakure Village and the Hidden Cloud Village, which is ready to take action, are left.

When the news reached Konoha from the front line, everyone in the village was cheering and celebrating the victory of the battle.

As Orochimaru led Konoha to victory once again, his reputation in Konoha has now reached its peak.

The reputation that Minato had originally gained by commanding victory in the Kirigakure battlefield was once again suppressed by Orochimaru.

The Third Hokage has already announced that he is preparing to nominate Orochimaru as the Fourth Hokage, and this period will not exceed two years.

More than 90 percent of the village's jonin approved of the Third Hokage's decision.

Even if a few people mentioned Minato, they were blocked on the grounds that he was too young to run for the Fifth Hokage. ..

This also shows how deep Orochimaru's foundation in Konoha is now, which is far beyond what Minato, who has just gained a foothold, can compare to.

Konoha's current system for selecting Hokage is still for the top brass to propose candidates, and then they go through a vote of confidence by the jonin.

If the confidence votes of the jonin exceed a certain percentage, the candidate can officially become the next generation Hokage.

Anyway, in the eyes of most people in Konoha today, Orochimaru is already a definite candidate for the fourth Hokage.

You have enough strength, prestige, and achievements, but if you still can't become Hokage, then who should be chosen as the Hokage?

Although the Uchiha clan also wanted to nominate a clan member to run for the election, even Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader, was not qualified.

So no matter how unwilling they were in their hearts, they had to grit their teeth and accept it, because no one in the Uchiha clan could compare to the current Orochimaru.

It can be said that countless people have already surrendered to Orochimaru in private.

This is also the most heroic moment in Orochimaru's life!

Before Orochimaru returned to Konoha, even when the Hyuga clan was holding a clan meeting, some people in the family had already proposed to get closer to Orochimaru.

And, in the end, the proposal was passed.

Cang Si just smiled and didn't raise any objections.

He also took this opportunity to have more contact with Orochimaru, even though he would soon fail in the jonin voting and then defect from Konoha.

But after all, the law cannot hold everyone responsible. Now that so many people are trying to please Orochimaru, the Konoha high-level officials can't punish all of them, right?

Anyway, no one now thinks that Orochimaru will not be able to become the Fourth Hokage, except Souji and Uchiha En.

After all, they knew that Minato would be the future Fourth Hokage.

Not long after, Orochimaru led the remaining surviving Konoha ninjas back to the village.

The voices shouting for Orochimaru in the village were so loud that Cang Si could have heard them even if he was at home.

"You're finally back. There's no rush now. Let those who are trying to please come over first. Anyway, I can use the summoning beast to make an appointment with Orochimaru in private." In this regard, Cang Si still acted calmly.

Orochimaru wouldn't defect right now, right?

If that's the case, why is he in such a hurry?

He had just returned from the battle and needed to rest, but he also had to deal with so many people of all shapes and sizes with ulterior motives. If he approached him at this time, it would simply make Orochimaru disgusted.

It would be better to wait for a while, until things have calmed down, and then go to Orochimaru to discuss relevant matters.

"It's a pity that Minato didn't come back this time. I didn't expect that he was transferred to the battlefield of Iwagakure Village again." After looking at the sky, Cang Si said with emotion.

Since Minato has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, he is basically

He will provide support wherever needed.
