Chapter 8 I am the Hokage
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was unable to calm down for a long time.
However, he eventually recovered from the shock. After all, he was a martial arts master with his own heart seeking the Dao and martial arts. He would not be so easily discouraged, nor would he deviate from his path because of this.
Of course, he was indeed interested in the power of ninjutsu.
Thinking this, he formed a hand seal, and a ball of fire immediately rose from his hand.
He stared at the fire, lost in thought.
Orochimaru!!!
In the Hokage's office, Danzo Shimura arrived once again, but this time, he had lost his previous composure, and his face became extremely ferocious, like a demon.
"What is it, Shimura-senpai?" Orochimaru asked calmly.
"Look what you've done!"
"Everything is within the legal framework."
Danzo Shimura's breathing quickened, his fists clenched, and his whole body trembled.
But what can he do? He can't, unless he wants to betray the village.
But he was truly unwilling to accept it! The opportunity was so close, yet…
"What kind of spell did you cast on Hiruzen to make him support you like this?"
I also
Orochimaru thought to himself, "What do you mean?"
He said with a smile, "Isn't it natural for my teacher to support me?"
"Hiruzen has changed!"
Indeed, the teacher has changed.
It can only be said that the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage dealt him a huge blow.
"Shimura-senpai, if you're going to keep talking about this pointless stuff, I'm not going to keep you company. I have work to do right now."
Orochimaru looked at the pile of files in front of him with a hint of helplessness.
His helpless attitude only fueled Danzo's anger.
That should have been mine!
"Orochimaru, give me back my armor."
"Yamato is a valuable asset of the village. Senior Danzo Shimura, I haven't even held you accountable for concealing such a valuable asset beforehand, and you still want to pursue this matter here?"
"...Only by handing over A to us can its power be better utilized."
"Then let me ask you, Shimura-senpai, why didn't you have Yamato use Wood Release to help suppress the Nine-Tails during its previous rampage?
If Yamato had been involved, perhaps the Fourth Hokage wouldn't have died."
Danzo Shimura was speechless.
"Given that you did not perform well in your role as Yamato, Yamato will be reassigned by the village."
At this point, Orochimaru thought of how, when Yamato saw him again, he tried his best to appear calm, but Orochimaru still managed to see through the barely concealed fear in Yamato's eyes.
This is understandable, given that Orochimaru was in charge of the experiments, leaving Yamato with indelible psychological trauma.
He personally took care of him and indeed had ways to brainwash him and make him work for him.
But he simply doesn't have the time to do that right now.
Moreover, it's a Wood Release ninja, something so important.
Even his teacher certainly wouldn't want Kagami to be loyal to him personally, but rather to the village.
In that case, let's find a reliable person to take care of Yamato and soothe his long-standing psychological trauma.
He did indeed think of a suitable person.
This also happens to be related to the disciple he has chosen for the position.
"Orochimaru, you'll regret this!"
Seemingly at a loss for words, Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth and uttered this harsh statement.
Seeing Danzo's frustrated state, Orochimaru realized what Danzo had always longed for.
He suddenly reached out and picked up the Hokage hat that his teacher had left on the table.
"Danzo, I am the Hokage."
As he spoke, he put the Hokage's hat on his head.
Danzo bent over, his whole body tense, as if he could not restrain himself.
Finally, he took a deep breath, snorted, and turned away.
We'll see! Orochimaru!
Danzo remained confident.
Because he knew that both Hiruzen and Orochimaru needed him.
It's not because he's really important, but because of the Uchiha clan.
There has to be someone like him who is willing to target the Uchiha clan. As long as that value remains, what can Orochimaru do to him?
And then they watched Danzo leave with such an arrogant air.
Orochimaru frowned.
Of course, I know what gave Danzo his confidence.
After all, the Uchiha clan...
Since the Nine-Tails' attack, the Uchiha clan, which already had conflicts with the village, has been placed in an extremely passive position.
After all, when the Nine-Tails wreaked havoc, the Sharingan pattern in those big eyes was extremely conspicuous.
There were too many ninjas fighting against the Nine-Tails, and with so many ninjas watching, it was impossible to hide it.
Moreover, the Konoha higher-ups were also fueling the fire behind the scenes, so the residents of Konoha soon learned that the Nine-Tails' rampage might be related to the Uchiha clan.
This further exacerbated the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village.
After all, the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage killed too many people and caused too much unbearable loss.
Orochimaru also knew that his teacher actually had some opinions about the Uchiha clan.
They weren't as extreme as Danzo, but Danzo's actions against the Uchiha clan must have been tacitly approved by their teacher.
So, as his teacher's successor, does he also need to use Danzo as a weapon to deal with the Uchiha clan?
Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then quickly put aside his thoughts on the matter and buried himself in his official duties.
It's not that this matter is unimportant, but rather that it is extremely important.
So, find an opportunity to talk to your teacher about this.
Let's see what the teacher's views are on the Uchiha clan.
That way, he can make the final decision.
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Boar.
The Nine-Character Protection Method.
The Nine Hand Seals.
The ninja's twelve hand seals are clearly derived from the Nine Syllable Mantra seals of the Nine Syllable Protection Technique.
A certain martial arts master is very familiar with hand seals, after all, he has also practiced Buddhism and Taoism, which involves hand seals and mudras.
However, in this world, hand seals influence the flow of chakra.
Ninjutsu requires hand seals to be performed, and it also requires imagination and understanding to complete the formation.
This consumes chakra, allowing one to perform ninjutsu.
It's amazing, especially considering that Hiruzen Sarutobi, as a professor of ninjutsu, knew many ninjutsu, including numerous secret techniques.
As the Third Hokage, he was able to access the Hidden Leaf Village's ninjutsu archives, including all sorts of forbidden techniques.
These ninjutsu techniques have amazing effects and can be described as ever-changing.
In his view, these were indeed all good methods of 'protecting the Way'.
However, it's merely a means of protection.
What he truly valued were the medical ninjutsu, the genjutsu, and other secret techniques involving the attributes of 'yin' and 'yang'.
According to this world's understanding, it involves physical energy and spiritual energy.
These secret techniques essentially conceal the mysteries of this world, the 'hidden secrets of the human body'.
It can help him quickly understand his current body and return to the realm of a Grandmaster of Internal Energy, where his mental energy can penetrate his entire body.
Yes, the medical ninjutsu within it will definitely be of great help to him.
