Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"It's too much to ask us to be the Hokage!"

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En were full of complaints as they looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who had used the transformation technique to turn himself into a younger appearance.

"Hahaha! I'm setting an example. As the instructor of Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, this is their first C-rank mission, so as a teacher, I need to personally supervise them."

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed heartily and released his transformation technique. He was in a good mood when he saw that there were not too many reports and documents piled up on the table.

"Sarutobi, you're still like this."

The door opened and Danzo Shimura walked into the office. His head and right eye were wrapped in bandages. It was said that he was seriously injured while on a mission, but no one knew what exactly happened.

"Danzo, as the head of the Shimura clan, you need to rein in your clan members."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about what he had just seen. On normal days he would not have said much, but he had his disciples with him. What would they think if they knew that the top leaders of Konoha condoned his family members to abuse their power in the village?

"what?"

Danzo Shimura was stunned for a moment. He had originally come to the house to demand an explanation, but he didn't expect to be defeated by Sarutobi Hiruzen instead.

"When my disciples and I returned to Konoha after completing our mission, we witnessed the Konoha Police Force arresting a member of the Shimura clan for being drunk and causing trouble."

Sarutobi Hiruzen told what the Shimura clan member had done, looked at Shimura Danzo meaningfully and said: "Danzo, as the Hokage's assistant, you must lead by example."

"I see."

Danzo Shimura's face was gloomy. He originally came to the village to question Sarutobi Hiruzen because he led his disciples out of the village to do a mission. He never expected that he would be warned by Sarutobi Hiruzen for a trivial matter committed by his tribe members.

At this point, he could no longer righteously rebuke Sarutobi Hiruzen for leaving the village despite being the Hokage.

(Compared to the old and cunning Shimura Danzo who had no shame at all, the young Shimura Danzo still had some dignity.)

"Third generation, aren't you making a big deal out of nothing?"

Utane Koharu felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen had gone a bit too far.

"I just don't want the new generation of Konoha to see the family that the Hokage assists do evil in the village with the prestige of being the Hokage's assistant."

Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't think he has gone too far, but what should he do if it has a negative impact on his disciples?

Both Jiraiya and Tsunade are very independent-minded children, not to mention Orochimaru who is more mature than his peers.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sincerely hopes that Orochimaru can inherit the will of fire.

With Orochimaru's talent, Sarutobi Hiruzen is confident that he can train her to become a ninja that surpasses himself, and it is not impossible for her to become the fourth Hokage of Konoha in the future.

"Ah!"

Orochimaru sneezed and touched the goose bumps on his arm, feeling inexplicably like he was being plotted against.

"Orochimaru, are you okay?"

Tsunade looked at Orochimaru with concern.

"Well...I'm fine."

Orochimaru rubbed his nose and looked at Tsunade beside him, "Come to think of it, your home is in that direction, right?"

Could it be...

Orochimaru looked at the smile on Tsunade's face and had a bad feeling.

"Whee!"

Tsunade smirked and held Orochimaru's arm, as if afraid she would run away. "Come with me and try your luck. There's a casino not far from here."

Tsunade said, pointing her finger in the direction of the casino.

"Tsunade, I suddenly remembered something very important, so I won't go with you."

Orochimaru said with a forced smile, and his heart sank when he felt the strength transmitted from Tsunade's hand.

Where is Jiraiya? Where is he at a time like this?

Orochimaru looked around to find the white-haired figure and realized something.

Could it be that he went to see his elder sister?

"We just returned to Konoha, what could have happened to you?"

Tsunade didn't believe that Orochimaru had anything very important to tell her, so she dragged Orochimaru towards the casino.

Damn it, places like casinos shouldn't exist!

Senju Hashirama, you are guilty of a heinous crime!

Orochimaru walked beside Tsunade with a depressed look on his face. This was not the first or second time that Tsunade had dragged him to the casino.

ANBU?

Orochimaru noticed a dark shadow that flashed by.

Soon after, it was completely dark and the street lights came on.

Tsunade walked out of the casino depressed. This time she didn't lose money but won money instead.

The key point is that the money won was not won by her, but won by Orochimaru using her money.

"Orochimaru, I doubt my gambling luck is so bad, it must be because you took it away from me!"

Tsunade scratched her head in frustration and took her anger out on Orochimaru beside her.

"Tsunade, stop dreaming. You've always had bad luck in gambling. If I take away your luck, I'll become unlucky too."

Orochimaru said seriously, how blind must she be to have taken away Tsunade's luck in the bet.

"What did you say!"

Tsunade's face turned red with anger, and she glared at Orochimaru fiercely with gritted teeth. These were the most vicious words she had ever heard.

"Anyway, you didn't lose money this time, isn't that good?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade calmly. She didn't care much about Tsunade's temper.

Compared to the more annoying brat, Tsunade is much better. Besides, this trip to the casino was not without gain.

"It's not bad."

Tsunade pointed at her fingers in confusion.

"It's getting late, I'm going home first!"

Tsunade made an excuse and turned to run.

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade who was fleeing in confusion, and without thinking much, planned what to do next.

Mastering new ninjutsu, practicing ninjutsu, exercising chakra control, and writing can all be done by the shadow clones, while the main body needs to increase the amount of chakra.

The attribute restraint between ninjutsu is based on the fact that the difference in strength is not big. If the strength is overwhelming, it is entirely possible to make bricks fly.

For example, Uchiha Madara's Fire Style is completely incomparable to other people's Fire Style.

With Uchiha Madara's strength, he can release the Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique with a power that exceeds that of S-level ninjutsu, and that is the difference in chakra amount.

Simply put, the level of ninjutsu is just the difficulty of learning, not the power.

training ground

"Listen carefully, today I want to test whether you can accurately hit the target with your shuriken." Sarutobi Hiruzen held a kunai in his hand, "Come on, use me as your target, and let me see how much you have grown during this period."

"Orochimaru, you go first."

"Ah."

Orochimaru walked forward, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who had almost no flaws on his body, waved his hand and threw a shuriken, and formed seals with his hands.

That is……

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru's hand seals and recognized it as the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

A shuriken transformed into several shadow clones that attacked from different directions.

Sarutobi Hiruzen used his kunai to knock down the shurikens one by one with ease, "Yes, Orochimaru, you learned the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique after I used it once."

“It’s my turn, it’s my turn!”

Jiraiya walked forward and suddenly realized that he didn't know the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique at all. At this point, he had no choice but to go ahead with it.

"Hand...Shuriken..."

Jiraiya threw out a shuriken and pretended to make hand seals. After making the seals, he put his hands into his clothes.

Just when the three of them thought he could use the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique...

"Throw them all out!"

Jiraiya threw out several shurikens like scattering flowers.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Tsunade stared at Jiraiya and the shuriken he threw to the ground in amazement. Orochimaru turned around and tried hard to hold back his laughter, his shoulders shaking.

"This isn't even a ninjutsu!"

Tsunade punched Jiraiya on the head.

Jiraiya, who was punched by Tsunade, looked at Orochimaru who was covering his mouth and laughing, and showed an embarrassed smile.

Volume 13: Chapter Orochimaru's Notebook

Illusion is to use the five senses to control the chakra in the target's brain so that the other party can see the picture that the caster wants them to see. It can even completely control the other party by controlling the chakra in the target's brain.

Although they are called the five senses, in fact, illusions are basically performed through vision and hearing, touch, smell, and taste. Among them, Izanami seems to be the only illusion that can be performed through touch.

Using the sense of smell and taste is not so much an illusion as it is the use of drugs to create hallucinations in the target and control them.

Orochimaru sat at the table, twirling the pen in her hand as she wrote down her ideas about ninja tools in her notebook.

Illusion is undoubtedly the ninjutsu that poses the greatest threat to her, auditory illusion. It is said that the Death Rhythm Clan in the Land of Rice is good at music ninjutsu, which also includes illusions cast through music.

This was something she had found in the information on various ninja clans collected by Konoha. Normally, as a Genin, she would never have access to this information, but she had a Hokage teacher who, after knowing her desire for knowledge, gave her the green light without hesitation.

If she had some prejudice against Sarutobi Hiruzen at first, it was because she had watched Naruto after all.

People have deep memories of Uzumaki Naruto's childhood experiences. After learning that his parents are Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, the reputation of this kind-looking old man Sarutobi Hiruzen becomes very subtle.

For example, Minato Namikaze was the Fourth Hokage. He died to protect the village, and after his death, his children lived in such a dilapidated place.

For example, why, when everyone in the village knew Uzumaki Naruto was the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, weren't they afraid that the greedy Kumogakure would kidnap Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki? Even if the Anbu protected Kumogakure and forcibly took the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, given Konoha's strength at the time, they would have suffered a loss and would have absolutely not dared to go to war with Kumogakure.

Orochimaru defected, Jiraiya and Tsunade were nowhere to be found, and there were few capable fighters in the village. It was impossible to ask Might Guy to open the Eight Gates, right? At that time, whether Might Guy could open the Eight Gates was still a question mark.

After all, why should something that needs to be kept secret be spread so widely in the village?

To appease the villagers?

This isn't the way to comfort someone, is it?

Directing all your negativity towards a baby?

Stupid decision, and the villagers who hated a baby were also extremely stupid.

In fact, many things are not up to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and Shimura Danzo, they always have different opinions on the same thing. Before they reach a consensus, there are endless arguments, and everyone wants to convince the other.

I have to say that Sarutobi Hiruzen was quite frustrated as the Hokage. If Tobirama Senju was the one who had the final say when implementing policies, no one dared to refute him.

So, the source of resistance to Sarutobi Hiruzen's policies was not the ninjas, nor the villagers, but the advisors and Hokage assistants.

How to say it, in Orochimaru's opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen's role as Hokage is not only aggrieved but also a bit cowardly. He is really too indecisive.

He would basically consider the opinions of his two advisors and the Hokage's assistant over and over again, and sometimes he would be persuaded by them.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen's methods were tougher and more ruthless, Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and Shimura Danzo would only be able to offer suggestions instead of interfering in everything.

The sentence "I am the second generation Hokage who accepts his fate!" is enough to make them stop. Anyone who dares to protest is questioning the decision of the previous Hokage!

Do they dare? They don’t dare!

In the original work, if Sarutobi Hiruzen had not been indecisive and cared about their old friendship, Orochimaru would have been killed long ago. At that time, Orochimaru had not yet left the Heaven's Curse Seal on Anko Mitarashi, and he didn't even have the chance to observe the world inside Anko Mitarashi's body.

Contact lenses or modifications to the eyes can be used. Musical illusion is even simpler and can be solved by creating earrings or headphones that can isolate chakra. There is a solution, but I don’t have the equipment to conduct research in this area at the moment.

Poor!
