Konoha: Start with omniscience and omnipotence

Chapter 141 [140] Envoy from the Kingdom of Earth

"Aida-kun."

"Since you said that, it means you should still remember the question you asked me last time, right?"

Orochimaru lowered his hand and struck lightly.

When faced with Aida Masaki's extremely tempting proposal, he had none of the greed, desire, and dreams that ordinary Konoha ninjas have.

He just looked at the bait rationally and calmly, just like he was conducting an experiment.

Even though it represents the position of [Hokage].

What Orochimaru and Aida Masaki were referring to was the brief communication they had on the way out of the Hokage Building after seizing the Grayl Stone in the River Country.

At that time, Orochimaru's question was, 'What does Aida-kun think of the position of Hokage?'

Aida Masaki replied with another question.

'Why would a man like you who desires to study all the truths in the world come up with the idea of ​​'becoming Hokage'?'

Even though a long time has passed, the impression is still clear enough for two ninjas with excellent memories.

"At that time, I didn't figure it out myself."

"But after that period of time, I probably discovered it."

Orochimaru looked at the young man in front of him, seemed to think for a few seconds, and then said with a flat smile: "If Konoha can be moved by the 'wind' as young as you, then I may not need to do what I have imagined.

That kind of thing.”

"Decision, right?"

In the end, even he himself was a little unsure.

As for what kind of decision was made?

Orochimaru didn't say anything.

Aida Masaki doesn't need to ask.

Because in the original work, the 'decision' he made is clear enough - to kill the third generation with his own hands, in the name of rebelling against ninja, to bring new 'wind' to the green and decaying Konoha, blowing this giant

The windmill is running.

However, this does not mean that Aida Masaki intends to let him go, but he said very directly:

"Then what if I give up the ninja lineage?"

“What if I stop these ‘changes’?”

"What if I tell you that you will see with your own eyes that everything is getting better now and will return step by step to the rigid state before?"

"Are you willing to take on this responsibility?"

Orochimaru looked at him with some doubts, and his golden snake eyes swept across his face cautiously, seeming to be a little puzzled. He hesitated for a long time before speaking slowly:

"Aida-kun, can I take your words as a threat?"

"exactly."

Aida Masaki admitted straightforwardly.

His meaning is also very obvious.

If you can't be the next Hokage, then I'll give up on the jobs I'm currently doing.

Whoever wants to come will come.

In the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo and others, the position of Hokage is extremely precious and hot. In the back and forth between the two of them, it seems that if you sit on it, you will suffer from baldness + hemorrhoids.

Coders' throne is the same.

dislike.

Perhaps, as Aida Masaki himself said.

Only those who truly have no desire for the position of 'Hokage', or even extremely disgusted with it, can resolve everything fairly and fairly with a business-like attitude.

Because whether it was Aida Masaki or Orochimaru, when they saw the word "Hokage", the first thing they thought of was how to solve the problem of eating, drinking and littering for hundreds of thousands of people in a village, which was their future blueprint.

While keeping your feet on the ground, you must also look up to the sky.

What we see are the responsibilities and obligations, as well as the ideals and pursuits that they are forced to put aside as individuals.

As for the Third Hokage duo.

Sarutobi Clan Legion! United Fire Release!

Look at my arm full of Sharingan + a full set of Wood Style! Under my hand is the best Aburame of this generation, the son of the blood successor of the mountain!

The difference between them cannot be measured in a few words.

However, it is precisely because of this that the two have a stalemate on this point.

"."

Orochimaru looked at him silently and said nothing for a long time.

This cold man slowly showed a smile:

"I reject your proposal."

"Aida-kun."

Aida Masaki still maintained that gentle attitude, but this non-negotiable answer was different from what he initially thought:

"Don't you care at all how your teacher will leave?"

"Lord Orochimaru."

"In my eyes, you are not such a person."

"What's more, if someone else does the same thing, the results will be completely different."

Facing Aida Masaki's words, Orochimaru shook his head calmly:

"The teacher's last dignity is naturally very important."

"but."

"I believe more in your ability and growth speed."

"Aida-kun."

Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils looked at him calmly, and his voice was calm: "Ten years, it doesn't even take that long. With the methods you have shown now, the entire Konoha will definitely become your possession."

"I don't know exactly what you want to do - at least not immortality. However, even if you continue to develop steadily with your current conditions, Sarutobi-sensei cannot stop you."

"Maybe you underestimate yourself too much."

Hearing this, Aida Masaki couldn't help but be startled, and looked at Orochimaru with some confusion.

"As for the teacher"

"Every era has its own way of ending."

As he spoke, Orochimaru lowered his eyes slightly, revealing some complex emotions in his golden vertical pupils:

"If he doesn't want to leave gracefully."

"Let's talk about it later."

In the end, Orochimaru did not give a clear answer.

Aida Masaki was still sighing in a low voice unconsciously until he left the laboratory.

After dilly-dallying for a while, he finally explained to himself:

"That's all."

"Time is on me."

From the very beginning, he never thought that he could directly draw Orochimaru to his side.

After all, no matter how much they criticize the position of 'Hokage', there are still countless idiots who covet this position, and it is not something that the two of them can decide by 'one count'.

Aida Masaki came here just to test Orochimaru's attitude towards the Hokage family, as well as the close relationship between Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In addition, it is also because someone in Aida really hopes that a representative of scientific research talents like Orochimaru will be promoted.

In addition, some of his judgments were verified by the decades-old historical route of the original work, so Aida Masaki was quite confident in his words at first.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru had so much confidence in him!

ten years.

Integrate all the forces in the village, including the Hokage family and the Ninja family?

A normal person living in Konoha might think that Orochimaru drank too much.

But Orochimaru dared to be so convinced.

I don’t know if it’s a curse or a blessing.

"correct."

As if remembering Orochimaru holding Asaru in his arms while he was studying when he first entered the door, Aida Masaki couldn't help but smile again:

"I wonder what kind of abilities Orochimaru-sama will unleash?"

"It seems that the ninja's ability to accept this 'Zanpakuto Chakra Ability System' is quite good."

"We have to find ways to lower the threshold."

With all kinds of thoughts passing through his mind, Aangda Shouhei rubbed his forehead and headed back home.

Three days later, in the afternoon.

Fire Nation County Road.

Between the dense forests, a large group of people crossed the road. The noise of the motorcade caused a series of chain reactions in the forest. Large numbers of birds took off and hovered in mid-air.

Located on this avenue, the two charioteers at the front of the entire convoy held high the family emblem and flag in their hands to lead the way.

Just by looking at the numbers on the flag, even illiterate civilians can roughly recognize that this group of people are high-ranking nobles from the Kingdom of Earth. Surrounded by people in front and behind, there are more than a hundred people in the group alone.

Among them, the most luxuriously decorated cart was surrounded in the center, and several Iwagakure ninjas were always on alert.

Inside this large car was the negotiator sent by the Kingdom of Earth to the Kingdom of Fire.

In the same car with him was the son of the third generation Tsuchikage.

Iwagakure Jonin, Loess.

However, at this time, the envoy, who was elegantly dressed and graceful in posture, looked a little uneasy.

"Lord Loess."

After hesitating for a long time, the envoy from the Earth Kingdom asked in a low voice: "If your plan succeeds, Konoha will not attack us. Right?"

"Yes."

Huang Tu is more than two meters tall, with a strong and generous body, and his voice is as strong and deep as a mountain: "In most cases, matters between ninjas will not involve the nobles of various countries."

"Even if we all die here, Konoha will definitely send you out of the country as a gift."

"Please rest assured, Lord Deyue."

"But."

The nobleman from the Kingdom of Earth, whom he called ‘Lord Tokuyue’, still had a somewhat struggling expression on his face:

"Is it possible that the 'sword' you are talking about is Konoha's sacred weapon?"

"Zanpakutō."

"Yes, yes! Zanpakutō."

Envoy Deyue swallowed slightly: "Our negotiation trip is already difficult, so why add extraneous complications?"

His question is actually not unreasonable.

This envoy of Deyue was originally a nobleman of Daming Mansion who was sent by the Kingdom of Earth as a representative to conduct the "negotiations on the division of territory of the Kingdom of Rain".

This kind of errand was meant to be a fat one.

As a result, the group of Iwagakure ninjas responsible for protecting him did not tell him until yesterday that the Iwagakure ninjas were also tasked with seizing other important items.

The mission level is even more unexpectedly S level.

Although I don't know what they are going to do.

But isn’t this just plain deceiving?!

Now what they say sounds better than the last, but when the time comes, who knows what special circumstances will arise?

"I'm so sorry, Lord Deyue."

Although Huang Tu was apologizing, the meaning in his eyes was very clear: "This mission is S-level, and it is the result of Lord Tsuchikage personally going to discuss with His Highness the Daimyo."

"Even if it is you, we are not allowed to reveal anything."

"Please forgive me."

"."

Upon hearing this, the envoy from the Kingdom of Earth suddenly stopped talking.

Naturally, he felt a lot of resentment in his heart.

But compared to his little temper, Loess was more worried about Konoha's affairs.

Unlike the non-combatant beside him.

As one of the top jonins in Iwagakure, Huang Tu has already learned the entire process of Konoha's 'Sword Selection Trial'.

In other words, Konoha had no intention of hiding anything.

And Namikaze Minato's performance after completing the [First Solution] was naturally exposed to everyone.

The ability to cut space directly increased the threat level of Namikaze Minato by more than one section in each village's memorandum.

Even slightly inferior to that 'Broken Cloud Falling Moon'.

With such a performance, how can other ninja villages not be covetous of this [Zanpakutō]?

iwagakure,

That is the hidden village with the most obvious manifestation of poverty among the five major countries.

To this end, they formulated a package plan overnight.

He even did not hesitate to expose many secrets that had been hidden for many years.

The reason why we are so eager is to rush the action to this negotiation meeting.

"Beep--"

Hearing the whistle in the distance, Huang Tu followed the car window and looked out the door into the distance.

The lush green scene, which was rarely seen in the Land of Earth, made him feel open-minded, and even his breathing seemed to be a little smoother.

At the end of the road, you can already see the Konoha Gate.

And further away in sight.

A slightly abrupt and huge ‘tree stump’ stood on the edge of the village.

Eye-catching and unusual.

Huangtu's pupils narrowed slightly.

That's the mission target, right?

Today’s update (1/2)

It’s a big chapter of 3k5. I originally wanted to write it now and publish it now, but I felt that no one would read it in the middle of the night, so I decided to publish it at eight o’clock.

There are another two chapters or so during the day or late afternoon.

This section is considered to be a foreshadowing and transition, so I tried to keep the pace as fast as possible.
