Swish!

With the swing of his sword, several poisonous snakes in the woods were instantly split into two parts, but Kakashi Hachiki immediately reminded Naruto with a solemn face, "Naruto, we have been discovered, and I will cover your retreat."

Snake ninjutsu, shouldn't it be the fourth generation Hokage at this time?

Kakashi quickly thought in his mind about the ninjas who were good at using poisonous snakes, except for Orochimaru, there was only his disciple Red Bean, and Orochimaru-sama's other disciple, Lord Rope, did not learn his snake ninjutsu.

"Flowing slashes, I didn't expect that there are others in the ninja world who will know Shuo Mao's predecessor's Qimu sword technique, and his eyes are also a little similar to Shuo Mao's predecessor, are you a hidden ninja in the Qimu clan?"

A cold and hoarse voice sounded nearby, and in the next second, Kakashi Hachiki saw two giant pythons quickly pounce on him.

Whew, whew!

Two white rays flashed, followed by a faint flash of thunder in the dim woods; Kakashi Hachiki quickly stabbed two times, cutting off the two pythons, and suddenly found that the snake's belly was covered with detonation charms, which immediately made him break out in a cold sweat.

However, after he and Naruto jumped away, Kakashi realized that the detonation charm under the snake's belly was fake, and in this silent night, using so many detonation charms was completely to remind the patrolling ninja that Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, would not be so unwise.

His purpose is Naruto!

Kakashi thought of Orochimaru's purpose in the second moment after jumping away, his strength had just been revealed, and it might not be realistic to want those for a short time, so it would be easier for the other one to look younger.

Sure enough, as Kakashi thought, the Orochimaru they saw just now was an earth clone, and the real Orochimaru had already lurked on Naruto, and it was too late for Kakashi to come to the rescue at this time.

"Shhh

A few snake chirps sounded in the jungle, and Naruto Uzumaki, who had just landed on the trunk of the tree, was entangled by six or seven poisonous snakes, and the next second he was about to strangle him to death; This is Orochimaru's shulker multi-snake hand, which is very convenient for subduing enemies.

"Huh?"

However, Orochimaru suddenly felt something unusual, and after the python wrapped itself around Naruto Uzumaki, a milky white halo shield suddenly appeared on his body, protecting him perfectly, so that the venomous snake with the hidden snake hand could not bite Naruto Uzumaki at all.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this? It seems that you guys are also very valuable for research."

After Orochimaru said this with a smile, he felt that his latent multi-snake hand suddenly lost all its strength and fell to the ground.

"Don't rush yet, Orochimaru, they may not be enemies.."

A figure emerged from the woods, none other than Karn, who had just used Orochimaru to slacken his strength.

After meeting Karn, both the future Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi Hachiki had relaxed expressions, but the excitement on the former's face was even greater.

After hearing Karn's words, Orochimaru also put away his intention to continue the attack, and asked, "Not an enemy?" Karn-kun, do you know these two people? ”

Karn took a closer look at Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi Hachiki, then said to Orochimaru, "There's probably a little guess, so they'll leave it to me to deal with, as for what I just said..."

"It's the same when I go back to the village and discuss it again, Sand Ninja Village... I don't think they have much left to start a war. ”

Orochimaru said with a smile, the two fire dragons he gave to the water gate were special, as long as they channeled in the Sand Ninja Village, they could cause good results.

After saying that, Orochimaru turned around and walked directly towards Kikyo Castle, the matter between him and Karn was not very urgent, and it was not too late to discuss it after going back.

After Orochimaru left, only Karn, Naruto Uzumaki, and Kakashi Hachiki were left, and then Karn asked, "You... I guess it's from the future. ”

"It's amazing, I guessed it all at once!"

When Naruto Uzumaki heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then he naturally came to Karn's side, and asked with a wicked smile on his face, "Then why don't you guess my identity again?" ”

"Except for my relatives, I rarely give alchemy items to others, and even if I give them to others, they are alchemical items that contain black magic; As for the one over there, with white hair, a mask, and a white tooth knife technique, only Kakashi Hachiki would dress up like this in the entire ninja world. ”

Karn saw that Naruto Uzumaki didn't seem to be very smart, and he was a little skeptical that he was his descendant, but his personality was a bit like Kushina; However, the alchemy items worn by Naruto Uzumaki can be made by no one in the ninja world except him.

"You two put your hands on me, let's talk in another place."

After Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi Hachiki heard this, they obediently put their hands on Karn, Karn's appearance has hardly changed from more than ten years later, and a little stiffening of his face will make Kakashi and Naruto face the feeling of Kahn in the future.

After they put their hands on them, the next second the three of them left the place through the apparition.

................

A few days later, news of the battlefield of Kawanokuni continued to spread back to Konoha Village, and the news of Orochimaru's defeat of Sand Ninja Village also spread in Konoha Village.

At the same time, an issue of "Ninja World Weekly", which praised Orochimaru, also spread in the Land of Fire and Konoha.

It almost records the detailed course of the Kawanokuni War, and there are a lot of metaphors praising Orochimaru, by exaggerating the military strength of the Sunobu Village and reducing Konoha support, comparing Orochimaru to a lone army, and then showing the difficulty of this war through comparison.

Almost everyone who reads this issue of Ninja World Weekly will be amazed by Orochimaru's wisdom and strength, and then slowly become his admirer.

Rally!

Only a small number of people in Konoha Village can see it, but even if they see it, it's useless, the Konoha newspaper office is specially approved by the daimyo, and even if it is Sarutobi Richo, he does not have the right to close the newspaper.

What's more, in addition to the Konoha Newspaper Office, there are four or five newspaper offices in the Fire Country, can he still manage things outside of Konoha Village?

Besides, now the Konoha newspaper has done nothing other than touting Orochimaru, and Sarutobi has hurriedly banned the publication of "Ninja World Weekly" in Konoha at this time, and the intention is too obvious.

Hokage's office

Although he received a victory from the front line, Sarutobi's face did not show the joy of victory at all.

When he first received the battle report, Sarutobi was indeed relieved, if the Sand Ninja Village could withdraw from the battlefield, then Konoha would be able to spare more energy to deal with the other two battlefields.

But the public opinion in the village made Sarutobi feel that something was wrong, and before Orochimaru came back, his prestige was growing day by day, which was obviously controlled by someone.

Ninja World Weekly

This newspaper is a special approval of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, and the person behind it is the Propaganda Minister Karn, who has the authority to interview all ninjas; Sarutobi also found out that Orochimaru and Karn were faintly connected in private, coupled with the abnormal public opinion in the village now.

There must be a connection between the two, and Orochimaru's purpose may be the fourth Hokage.

'Orochimaru, you've changed...'

After taking a puff of dry smoke, Sarutobi made a decision in his heart, and then said to Koharu, Mito Menyan, and Danzo: "Do you have any opinions on the battlefield of Kawanokuni and the touting of Orochimaru in the village. ”

Mito Menyan hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "Opinion... Let's make sure if the sand shinobi really quit the battlefield first, as for Orochimaru, Hichi, and the news found in the shadows, is it true? ”

Ape Fei Ri shook his head slightly, and said slowly: "There is no clear evidence, but it is very likely... If I'm not mistaken, Orochimaru wants to become the fourth Hokage. ”

"The four generations of Hokage?"

Zhuan Yu frowned slightly and said, "With Orochimaru's merits and status, there is no one in the village who can compare to him, and he is also your disciple... Sunslash, are you planning to abdicate? ”

How could you want to abdicate ..

Sarutobi thought in his heart, but this kind of thing is not something he can decide, he has been a Hokage for ten years, and when he became the third generation Hokage, he was about the same age as Orochimaru's current age; And this time Konoha lost too much in the war, and someone must be responsible for this war.

"Orochimaru is not suitable for the fourth generation Hokage, even if he is my disciple, I will not entrust the village to someone who does not belong to this position."

Sarutobi said bluntly, his resolute attitude made Mito Menyan, Zhuankou Koharu and Tuanzang look sideways, and they couldn't help but think of the high-spirited appearance of Sarutobi in the past.

Koharu asked, "Then who are you going to give the Hokage position to?" Jiraiya or Tsunade? ”

"I'm still thinking about it, but the main thing for now is to solve the war, even if a new Hokage is chosen, it will have to wait until the war is over..."

If possible, perhaps the war would end quickly, and he would not have to abdicate; Sarutobi thought in his heart that through this war, he would have the opportunity to make his position as Hokage more secure.

"Let's talk about peace, first make sure that Sand Shinobi won't participate in the war again, as for Orochimaru... The other two battlefields are not in danger, he can be transferred back to the village, put it aside for a while, and after a few months, naturally no one will talk about Orochimaru. ”

Tuan Zang said that he actually has other methods, but once he says it, eighty percent will be carried out by his roots; But as an old teammate of Sarutobi Hichisaki, he can see that Sarutobi Hizashi has no intention of abdicating, even if he chooses the fourth generation of Hokage, it has nothing to do with him, a half-disabled old man with weak power.

This is not enough, Ape Fei Ri Chop frowned slightly, and thought that it seemed that Tuan Zang had suffered many setbacks and was much more cautious..... You can let the roots let go of some hands and feet, otherwise the role of the roots will be too small.

"I know, Yan, I'll leave the matter of sending Sand Shinobi to you, and after confirming that Sand Ninja will not continue to fight and sign a peace agreement, I will immediately send it back to the village; Tuanzang, I'll give you the next order for the shadows of the two detachments, plus your roots, to go to the battlefield of the Grass Country and wait for the next step. ”

After Sarutobi gave an order, he asked the three of them to do things, and after finding Shinobio's style of doing things, his tone was much tougher.

However, thinking of the gradually unfamiliar Orochimaru, Ape Fei Ri Slash sighed in his heart again.

'Orochimaru, you shouldn't have done this! ’
