Naruto: I Will Never Go Offline

"Since you need some time to recover anyway, I have a few questions to ask you. Just so you are the Sixth Hokage. Just now, I have met your grandfather, the First Hokage."

"What?" There was indescribable surprise in Tsunade's eyes.

Later, Sasuke and Orochimaru explained their previous conversation about resurrecting all the Hokage and Sasuke.

After listening, Tsunade sighed.

"So. You want to ask me what a ninja, a clan, and a village are, right?"

Sasuke didn't answer and everyone looked at Tsunade.

The predecessors of previous Hokages analyzed this issue from the perspective of ninja history.

And now, what Sasuke is facing is the contemporary Hokage, the current Hokage...

Tsunade murmured: "Although I have only taken office not long ago, I have had the same power as Hokage a long time ago, so I still have a say in this issue."

"If you want to talk about a ninja, I would rather mention a certain person. He is an undercurrent, an undercurrent lurking behind the Hokage."

Tsunade's eyes sparkled when she spoke.

Chapter 486 Undercurrent! Behind Naruto

"Undercurrent? What does it mean?"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

He still didn't like this kind of pretentious statement.

Tsunade began to explain: "Hyuga Neji, this undercurrent, after the Fifth Hokage Hinata Hizashi and I became Hokage, Neci was basically in charge."

"undercurrent……"

When Hyuga Neji was mentioned, Sasuke fell into deep thought.

He began to stop being anxious and seriously thought about the profound meaning of this undercurrent.

It's just that Neji, he felt, was more or less worthy of serious consideration.

"Tsunade……"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, and at this moment he was also very interested in the meaning of Tsunade's words.

Tsunade sighed and began to speak.

"Sasuke, the reason why you have such doubts is because the truth about your brother Itachi hit you hard... To be honest, I only learned about this kind of thing later, but when I learned about it, I was just like you, At first, it was hard to believe that the focus was on the top management of Konoha Village. But because I know someone better who encountered these problems earlier than you, that is Hyuga Neji... So, I am very concerned about this. There won’t be too many doubts about the question.”

Tsunade narrowed her eyes slightly and fell into memories.

"Just in time, let me tell you the story of Hyuga Neji."

"The story is not long. I only tell the identity story about him and Hokage."

"Orochimaru also participated in the Chunin Selection Conference three and a half years ago. There is no need to verify this matter. Now Orochimaru is at the scene."

Tsunade glanced at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru sneered softly and said: "Humph, indeed, but this matter has nothing to do with me now, right?"

"It has nothing to do with you? The Sandaime Hokage died because of you, how could it have nothing to do with you!"

Tsunade frowned angrily and said: "Even if you saved me, it doesn't mean that I will definitely forgive you. As a rebellious ninja of Konoha Village, it's okay for you to betray the village. I didn't expect that you would kill us with your own hands." Master, I have no intention of just settling this account!"

Seeing Tsunade's angry expression, Orochimaru spread his hands and said, "Okay, today's protagonist seems to be neither me nor you, so please continue."

Tsunade groaned and continued.

"During that Chunin Selection Tournament, Neji was already acting secretly. At that time, Sasuke, you should have met Hinata Neji in the Forest of Death, right?"

When Tsunade talked about it, Sasuke was completely impressed.

Scenes of memories came to mind.

The moment he lost consciousness, he seemed to see a strong figure appear.

"...It is said that the person who appeared in the Death Forest and fought Orochimaru at that time was Hyuga Neji?"

Sasuke asked.

Orochimaru curled up his lips: "It seems you already know! Yes, I didn't expect that at that time, it was the time when my body was at its weakest, and coupled with a love rival, I really didn't expect that the Hyuga clan member who was a genin You brat, you actually caught on to my weakness and wouldn't let go! I almost killed you in that battle! But at that time, I was still more interested in you! Sasuke-kun!"

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows and glanced at Sasuke.

Sasuke, on the other hand, had a cold look on his face and had no intention of talking to Orochimaru at all.

"what's next?"

Jugo asked.

Regarding this story, he seemed to have heard half of it told by Sasuke, but he didn't expect to hear the full version today!

"Yes, at that time, that person was Neji. I didn't understand at that time... Of course, no one understood. A genin, even if his strength rises rapidly, there is no need to do such a thing. In a very long time, For a long time, I thought that Ningji was a reckless kid. He was fed up with being called a "crane tail" in the past, but he didn't hate it. Every time that guy showed his strength, he was forced..."

She exhaled and said: "Orochimaru, do you still remember the Sannin War at that time? Hyuga Neji came and saved me and Jiraiya..."

Orochimaru chuckled softly: "You said that, I did remember it! Neji-kun has always had a big impact on my plans, but I also discovered more interesting things. The Hyuga clan's Talent, it turns out that the upper limit is so high... That shining talent is even more extraordinary than Itachi's back then..."

Tsunade ignored Orochimaru's muttering and continued: "I didn't realize many of Neji's actions until I became Hokage. The reason is that I knew the Sandaime's arrangements. At that time , Hyuga Neji made a deal with the Sandaime in advance."

"trade?"

Sasuke frowned slightly.

"Yes, Neji is an undercurrent that began to surge at that time. Before the Fifth Hokage and me, the Sixth Hokage, took office, as a genin, he was already surging in the dark, using the title of Hokage , taking advantage of everyone’s judgment of him…”

"What deal was made?" Sasuke suddenly became very interested.

"I don't know what the specific deal was, but in that deal, Neji and the Sandaime finally reached an agreement. That is, Neji split Orochimaru's plan into pieces."

Tsunade looked firmly at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was also surprised and opened his mouth slightly.

"Before the battle started, the master who was secretly in the Forest of Death, the master who helped the ANBU to rescue the siege, and the ANBU who overheard the negotiation between Maki and Kabuto in the Suna Ninja Village before Hayate died, all...are all Neji alone!"

Orochimaru was not shocked by this news, but Sasuke was quite surprised.

"That's when..."
