Inside the Hokage Office of Konoha Village.
With their thinking expanded by Tsunade's words, the group felt as if they had stepped into a new world.
For a moment, all sorts of whimsical ideas were proposed.
Like tying Orochimaru up and delivering him.
Like sealing Orochimaru's Chakra directly and sending him over in a cage.
Like turning Orochimaru into an idiot before sending him over.
Anyway, every possible method was mentioned.
"Alright, as for how to handle Orochimaru later, we first have to get the fifth question right."
"Don't get ahead of yourselves. Let's see what the fifth question is first!"
Seeing everyone, especially those two old fossils Homura Mitokado and Utatane Koharu, getting more and more excited as they talked.
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but cough twice, speaking out to stop them.
No matter what, Orochimaru is still my disciple. Why are you two so gleeful about this?
Hearing this, the two old-timers exchanged a glance and quieted down.
"Then, please present the question, Your Excellency."
Jiraiya smiled and spoke to Ye Chen.
Originally, the answer to the fourth question had been quite a blow to Jiraiya.
But once Tsunade's idea was proposed, it actually injected new energy into Jiraiya, sweeping away his gloom.
It wasn't that he was happy about the prospect of capturing Orochimaru.
Mainly, Jiraiya had also developed an idea because of the brainstorm just now.
"If I wish for this Excellency to erase those dangerous thoughts of Orochimaru's, wouldn't that allow Orochimaru to return to his senses?"
"In that case, could Orochimaru return to the Village?"
Thinking back to the last time they answered questions, Ye Chen had casually erased Hiruzen Sarutobi's memory of the 'Dragon Fire Technique'.
Jiraiya's heart burned with anticipation.
According to his thoughts, if the fifth question was answered correctly later.
He would propose to everyone to simply let Ye Chen erase those bad memories of Orochimaru's.
If that happened, Orochimaru might be able to become the young man he once was.
Without those dangerous thoughts, could Orochimaru become a Konoha Ninja once again?
Jiraiya's sudden invigoration was noticed by Tsunade and Minato Namikaze.
But neither of them imagined Jiraiya's sudden flight of fancy, and both found it a bit strange.
However, seeing Jiraiya recover from the blow so quickly, they were both quite happy.
On Ye Chen's side, having witnessed the brainstorming in the Hokage Office just now, he was also between laughter and tears.
As a transmigrator, he never would have thought that the natives of the naruto world would be so innovative.
They were really coming up with all sorts of tricks for the wishing function.
But Ye Chen wasn't sure if their ideas could be realized, so he quickly asked the system in his mind:
"System, if they wish for me to capture Orochimaru and bring him to Konoha, can it be done?"
The system's cold, mechanical voice sounded:
"By the rules of this system, any wish that does not exceed the scope of its capabilities can be fulfilled."
Hearing this, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the system, as long as it was something the system could do, they could wish for whatever they wanted.
Capturing Orochimaru was a trivial matter.
Within the rules of the naruto world, even if you said you wanted Kaguya Ōtsutsuki turned into a sex toy and delivered to your bed, it would just be a matter of saying the word.
Of course, the prerequisite was that you had to answer five questions correctly.
As for wishes that exceeded the rules of the naruto world, like becoming a Super Saiyan.
Summoning Ultraman.
Wanting to get a couple of Devil Fruits to eat.
Such wishes could not be fulfilled because those things simply didn't exist in the naruto world.
"Looking at it this way, the system's ability is truly a bug!"
Ye Chen sighed inwardly.
If one day, Minato Namikaze perceived the truth of history and learned about Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and Black Zetsu.
And directly wished to the system to kill those two aliens.
Wouldn't that be an immediate series finale?
It would be even cleaner and more decisive than Might Guy's kick, and it would be a perfect success.
"Looking at it this way, compared to the wishing function, is my lottery draw completely insignificant?"
Ye Chen suddenly felt a bit envious of Minato Namikaze and the others.
As long as they answered five questions correctly, they could make any wish.
Meanwhile, as a laborer, he could only slowly spend money on lottery draws.
So cold and trembling, when will we transmigrators finally stand up!?
With a wave of Ye Chen's hand, a new question appeared on the light screen:
[Question Five: In the 'Konoha Crush Plan', why did Orochimaru want to kill his teacher—Hiruzen Sarutobi?]
Answer A: He held a grudge against Hiruzen Sarutobi for expelling him from Konoha.
Answer B: He held a grudge against Hiruzen Sarutobi for not helping him inherit the position of Fourth Hokage.
Answer C: He wanted to prove to Hiruzen Sarutobi that he was the most outstanding person.
Answer D: All of the above.
As soon as the question appeared, the Hokage Office fell into dead silence.
"Clack!"
With a crisp sound, everyone turned their gaze, only to find it was the pipe in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand that had fallen to the ground.
The Old Monkey's face was ashen, his expression filled with unwillingness, incomprehension, confusion, anger, and other complex emotions.
His brow was furrowed high, and his old face was full of pain.
"Sarutobi-sensei!"
Jiraiya couldn't help but call out.
Even though his admiration and respect for Hiruzen Sarutobi had been diminished quite a bit by the truths revealed during the Q&A.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was still one of the people Jiraiya valued most in his heart.
Seeing his teacher showing such an expression now, Jiraiya couldn't bear it.
But on second thought, the person who had dealt such a blow to Hiruzen Sarutobi was still Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, you bastard!"
With gritted teeth, Jiraiya became even more determined to make the wish to erase Orochimaru's thoughts.
"That bastard! How could he do such a thing!"
Utatane Koharu lost her composure a bit, shouting in a shrill voice.
"I knew it. I told Hiruzen back then that Orochimaru didn't look like good material. I didn't expect him to be such an ungrateful wolf!"
Homura Mitokado coughed repeatedly in anger.
Over there, Minato Namikaze and Shikaku Nara exchanged a glance, both noticing the doubt in each other's eyes.
"Minato, you saw it too, right?"
Shikaku Nara leaned in and asked softly in Minato Namikaze's ear.
"Yeah, that should be something that happens after the 'Nine-Tails Attack'."
Minato Namikaze nodded.
It turned out that when these two saw the question, they maintained their rationality better than the others.
They noticed the phrase 'Konoha Crush Plan' in the question.
This name should be the same as the one on the event list.
"In other words, the 'Konoha Crush Plan' was also caused by Orochimaru?"
Minato Namikaze paused and asked.
"It should be."
Shikaku Nara replied with certainty.
The low-voiced conversation between the two caught Tsunade's attention, and she asked impatiently:
"Minato, Shikaku, what are you two whispering about?"
"If you've discovered something, hurry up and say it."
"Yes!"
Seeing Minato Namikaze nod, Shikaku Nara nodded in response:
"Just now, Hokage-sama and I noticed that the 'Konoha Crush Plan' in the question..."
"...should be the same event as the 'Konoha Crush Plan' in the event list."
