I don't know how long the years are in the mountains, and the wind caresses the leaves and dyes them with red frost.

When Inuzuka Shu devoted himself to cultivation, two major events occurred in Konoha Village one after another.

First of all, Bo Feng Shuimon won a big victory in the election of the fourth Hokage and finally ascended to the throne of the Hokage. The hard-working third generation of the meme ape Tobi stepped down and became the first old Hokage in Konoha to receive retirement benefits. In the Hokage's position, the first Senju Tsuruma died after the Battle of Madara Uchiha, and Senju Kazuma was attacked and killed by the Golden Horn and Silver Horn during World War II to cover six disciples. The third generation of Sarutobi Hiza was able to work in the Hokage seat until retirement, which is really a blessing.

In fact, the abdication of the ape flying day is also a last resort. In this ninja war, the four major ninja villages launched a joint attack on Konoha, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the upper echelons of the village, and there were quite a few complaints about the foreign policy of Sarutobi. Coupled with the heavy losses in the war for many years, the sadness in Konoha Village is also spreading unconsciously.

In order to boost the morale of the villagers and open a new chapter for Konoha , Bo Feng Shuimen, who was younger, had greater potential and won the invincible name of "Golden Flash" in the third war, became the best Hokage candidate to create a new situation after Konoha after the war. Bo Feng Shuimen is the grandchildren of three generations, and they have always had a close relationship with each other, and some important policies of the three generations can also be well continued. Ape Fei Ri Slash naturally knew this, so he took the initiative to abdicate and retire for the rest of his life.

The second thing, that is, Orochimaru, one of the three ninja of Konoha, suddenly defected. Of course, Uncle Snake's departure can be regarded as one of the sequelae of Watergate's inauguration as the fourth generation of Hokage. After all, as the leader of the previous generation, he has to deign to be under the wave of wind and water, which is absolutely unacceptable for the arrogant Orochimaru.

On the other hand, it was Orochimaru who got some rumors through Danzo, and when the new Hokage came to power, the Shadows would raid and inspect his underground laboratory. And in his laboratory, there are taboos that must not be exposed. Therefore, Orochimaru escaped at night, which became an unexpected but expected thing.

Therefore, when the old Hokage came to Orochimaru's secret laboratory with the shadows, all he saw was a mess all over the ground. However, the human living petri dish inside the base, and some incomplete test records, all prove the authenticity of Orochimaru's illegal human experiments.

The old Hokage Sarutobi was full of disappointment, and personally listed Orochimaru as an S-class traitor in Konoha Village. As soon as this order came out, it meant that the master-apprentice relationship between Ape Fei Ri Slash and Orochimaru had been exhausted, and the name of "Konoha Sannin" had also become a history that could only be recalled from the past.

With the retirement of the old Hokage, the defection of Orochimaru, the travels of Jiraiya, the disappearance of Tsunade Hime, and the traces of the previous generation of shadow-level powerhouses in Konoha gradually dimmed.

In their spare time, the villagers will happily look at the Hokage Rock in Konoha Village. There, after several months of meticulous work by the most famous craftsmen in the Land of Fire, the giant stone statue of the fourth Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate has been completed. Just like its new color, a new page has been opened in the history of Konoha.

On the northern border of the Land of Fire, in a primeval forest in the western border area of the Land of Soup, a middle-aged man with a tall figure came out. He was dressed in an off-white Japanese robe, and his long thick black hair was tied haphazardly with a thin rope, swaying slightly as he walked. His face was sickly pale, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and a pair of narrow eyes were looking forward to revealing a pair of cold vertical pupils like snakes. There is a special temperament in him, dangerous and charming. He walked so confidently and calmly, without the ferocity or panic that a super rebel should have.

As he passed by a swamp, he stopped abruptly with the sound of frog chirping.

"Jiraiya, is that you?" He turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice had come, and between his thin lips, a hoarse voice rang out.

"Orochimaru senior, long time no see." To his surprise, what appeared in front of him was a small figure.

"Inuzuka tree? How did you end up here? Didn't you go to Miaomu Mountain to cultivate? A hint of surprise flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

Inuzuka pointed to a large toad with flower skin in the grass, and said with a grin: "There have always been contact frogs of Miaomu Mountain in the village, and they have been sent to keep an eye on you since I learned psychic." You also know that in this world, this season, toads are everywhere. ”

A smile flashed across Orochimaru's face, and after glancing at Inuzuka with great meaning, he said, "So, you already know the secret of my laboratory?" I also knew that I would leave Konoha for a long time? ”

Inuzuka Shu pointed to his head with his finger and said, "Just think about it, you know that you have been hiding in the secret base all the year round, and you have a close relationship with the old boy Tuanzang at the root, and the ghost knows that your experiment is absolutely taboo." Moreover, my Mizumon-sensei became the Hokage, and according to his meticulous and unforgiving attitude, the situation of missing people in the village will definitely be investigated to the end. ”

Inuzuka smiled and continued, "From what I know of you, you're not someone who gets disheartened without being the Hokage. As you know, I'm in a good relationship with the old Hokage-sama and Jiraiya-sama. With what they know about you, immortality is your greatest pursuit compared to the short-lived Hokage, right? ”

When Orochimaru heard this, his face finally had a trace of emotion. He looked at the child in front of him carefully, and after a long time he said, "You are indeed a smart child." So, what is the purpose of your shadow clone appearing here? ”

Inuzuka is not surprised that Orochimaru will see through his reality and reality, the other party is a shadow-level powerhouse, if he can't see his shadow clone, it will be a strange thing.

Inuzuka slapped his palms and said with a smile: "Quick talk, Orochimaru, I'm very interested in your experiment." As strong as Thousand Hands Pillar and Uchiha Madara, they also have to face birth, old age, sickness and death, everyone takes all this for granted, only Orochimaru you, paranoid to explore the mystery of life. I admire you on this point. ”

Orochimaru's eyes flashed slightly, even if his heart was as cold as a snake, it was inevitable that there would be emotional fluctuations at this moment.

Why isn't Inuzuka nervous? His soul is a fusion of the past life and the present life, and his body obviously belongs to the Inuzuka tree in this life, but he has the divine power of the wood escape fruit of the previous life. He has always wanted to understand the secrets of the soul and body, whether he belongs to the soul crossing or is reincarnated! If he could, of course he wanted to make his soul and body fit perfectly, and even think longer, if he had the opportunity, could he travel back to the original world?

Orochimaru looked at Inuzuka with amusement and said, "Speaking of which, you don't look like an eight-year-old child at all." ”

Inuzuka nodded and said, "No, I've always endured the intelligence that I shouldn't have at my age. ”

Orochimaru laughed and said unawarely, "Say, what do you want from me?" What can you give me? ”

Inuzuka clapped his hands and said happily: "As the saying goes, when you go out, many friends have many roads." Don't look at me now, I'm only eight years old, but my dream is to become the fifth Hokage of Konoha. And as you know, I have a good chance of succeeding. This is important, and you have to admit it, so that we have a basis for working together on an equal footing! ”

Orochimaru was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, it was really true. According to the master-apprentice inheritance sequence of Konoha, after three generations, the Hokage passed on to the genius ninja Bo Feng Shuimon, who was the grandson of his apprentices, and Inuzuka Tree, the Konoha superstar, is the only personal disciple of Mizumon at present, and the only disciple of Sannin Jiraiya, which makes him one of the most favorable contenders for the fifth Hokage. And Inuzuka has the support of the entire Inuzuka clan behind him, plus his close relationship with Kakashi Hagi, Uchiha Shisui and Itachi, Hinata Blue Kite, Yuri Mako and others, when he grows up, what a huge network of relationships is this?

Don't forget, this little guy entered Miaomu Mountain at the age of eight, and he will definitely be one of the spokespersons of the three holy places in the future!

With outstanding talents, and a deep background and network, such a child, as long as he doesn't die halfway, becoming a Hokage in the future is like a certainty! In this way, Inuzuka is betting on the future, and already has the prerequisites for dialogue and even cooperation with himself on an equal footing.

After Orochimaru pondered for a long time, Fang Zheng said: "Speaking of which, I have always been very optimistic about your future, but unfortunately, you chose to worship Shuimen as your teacher. ”

Inuzuka Shu smiled and said, "Orochimaru, this world is very big, and I may not be satisfied with being a well-behaved Hokage in the future, just as you may not be satisfied with a long life in this life. I'm coming to you today to tell you that don't hold grudges against Konoha in your heart, and if you broaden your horizons, maybe it will have a more positive meaning for your research. ”

Looking at Orochimaru's thoughtful expression, Inuzuka Shu held the back of his head with both hands, looked at the long white clouds in the sky and said slowly: "I can't give you anything now, but in the future, who can say for sure, maybe we will cooperate in the most special way." ”

Orochimaru looked at Inuzuka for a while, and finally said lightly: "I like ambitious people!" I'll get back to you if I need it in the future. With that, Orochimaru walked towards the depths of the Land of Yu. As for the trivial matter of how the two sides can contact each other, behind the two of them are holy places, and there are not too many psychic beasts in charge of contact.

Inuzuka looked at Orochimaru's back with a smile, and finally turned into a cloud of white light and disappeared from the spot.

In the Miaoki Mountains, Inuzuka Tree, who was absorbing natural energy, opened his eyes, and after carefully combing through the memories of the shadow clone, a relieved smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

If Orochimaru can be persuaded to lift his hostility towards Konoha, then the future will not be a powerful foreign aid and helper. At least, you don't have to worry about the old man for the third generation. And this, you need to show your strong strength as soon as possible, as well as sufficient financial resources. After all, experimenting or something costs the most money! And with Inuzuka Tree's mind, there are simply too many ways to make money or something.

If you want Uncle Snake to cooperate wholeheartedly, you must not rely on your mouth, you must be subdued by force, and then your interests will come first.

Luckily, it's still too late! Orochimaru should be busy building his new nest during this time, and he should also be busy recruiting subordinates from all over the country to enrich his strength, and he has no time and spare energy to contact the Xiao organization for the time being. And the most important thing for Inuzuka at the moment is to improve his strength, and use his current strongest self to face the upcoming Konoha catastrophe and change the life trajectory of some important people.

This task is very difficult, and the ability to change fate is to act against the sky! But Inuzuka Shu, there is no choice.
