Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 190 Orochimaru and Jiraiya's conflicting views!

“Elder Mitomon!” Orochimaru’s eyes were cold.

"The position of Vice-Minister of Logistics in Konoha Village was given to me by the Hokage!"

"As the Hokage's disciple, I am deeply grateful for the village's kindness and bear the great responsibility of Konoha. I am only responsible to the Hokage!"

An aura unique to a Shadow-level expert was slowly released!

When he first took office, Orochimaru did not intend to seize power in a hurry.

He chatted with Yuki about how to take up a position in the village.

High prestige, extensive training, and gradual stripping of power.

However, after talking with several ninjas from the logistics department...

Orochimaru abandoned his plan of proceeding cautiously and steadily.

This was because he immediately judged that Mitomon's management of the logistics department was probably not a problem.

But it is absolutely unsuitable for large-scale warfare!

Shimura Danzo's defeat may not have been entirely undeserved of the 'contribution' from Mitokado Hoshino's logistics department.

However, he may not have realized that there was a problem with logistics.

Given his cruel nature.

All they say is, "You all have food to eat, what more do you want?"

"You!!" Mitokado Homura was intimidated by Orochimaru's imposing aura.

His tone softened first.

If you're not scared, then just cry your heart out.

What else can we do but fight back?

Orochimaru.

"There's no need to merge the supply squad into one squad, is there?"

Mitokado Yan frowned and said, "That's seven squads! The other six Jonin are all old men from the village. If they're not arranged properly, it will have a bad impact on the village."

Orochimaru's smile was chilling, and his imposing aura slowly subsided: "I apologize, Elder Mitomon."

"I am the deputy director of the logistics department, not the deputy director of the influence department."

"This has a negative impact; please contact the relevant authorities."

There must be a clear distinction between shifting blame and taking responsibility.

Shift the blame when you should, and take responsibility when you should!

"I...I...Orochimaru, you'll regret this!"

"hehe."

Mitokado Homura left the logistics department, intending to go to the Hokage's office to complain to his "parents".

Orochimaru is just not to his liking!

How can a young man who disrespects his seniors govern Konoha and succeed the Fourth Hokage?

Just a brief encounter.

Mitokado Yan herself was unaware of it.

A fear of Orochimaru was planted in his heart.

Two years of war, two years of working in the shadows, and several years of missions.

Orochimaru's forces have gathered many talented individuals.

Not to mention the newly established research department, which is Orochimaru's exclusive "lair".

He also served as the deputy director of the senior logistics department.

This is the core team!

Orochimaru's foundation has been initially established!

After seeing Mitokado Homura off, Orochimaru's emotions remained completely unchanged.

He never took this old guy seriously.

"Tsunade's invitation?"

"To be Nawaki's ninjutsu instructor?"

Orochimaru was somewhat taken aback. By creating the antidote (and incidentally falsifying accounts), he had incurred Tsunade's considerable debt of gratitude.

Unexpectedly, Tsunade plans to accept Nawaki as her apprentice as a condition for repaying a favor.

In the quiet office, Orochimaru gently tapped the chair.

He had met Rope Tree before, and they got along well.

The changes now are significant compared to the past.

His secret technique was unleashed, and his strength reached the level of a Jonin.

Do we need another ninjutsu teacher?

Could it be to cultivate relationships and prevent the situation in the village from deteriorating?

Orochimaru stopped dwelling on meaningless matters.

I agreed.

In fact, Tsunade originally planned to have Nawaki become Sakumo Hatake's apprentice, so that when she helped him become the Fourth Hokage, Nawaki would rightfully gain the status of a direct descendant of the Hokage.

However, Yuuki believes that Orochimaru's ideas and research are more in line with Nawaki's future development.

She then changed her mind.

After Orochimaru finished writing his reply to Tsunade, he planned to tidy up the house.

Then return to the lab to observe the experimental results.

Work is just part of life; research is what I'm passionate about!

At that moment, a white-haired man burst out of the window.

Orochimaru, you're back!

Jiraiya smiled and scratched the back of his head, looking very surprised.

"Jiraiya? What do you want?" Orochimaru's expression softened slightly as he asked.

"Haha, an old friend has come to catch up!" Jiraiya stepped forward and laughed heartily.

"Heh." Orochimaru slapped Jiraiya's hand away in disgust. "Catch up? You look so guilty. Are you trying to persuade Mitokado Homura?"

"I'm not exactly a lobbyist..." Jiraiya felt a little embarrassed, something he hadn't done in a long time.

"Jiraiya, you really aren't suited to stay in the village, or perhaps you just want to avoid making decisions." Orochimaru walked to the window, looking down at Konoha, where crisis was brewing beneath the surface of prosperity.

“Any proper political negotiation should not be so blatant.”

"That's what happens when we're classmates."

"Just say what you have to say."

Jiraiya took a deep breath, his expression turning serious: "I hope you will inherit the title of Fourth Hokage, completely overshadow the prestige of Uchiha Yuuki and Nawaki, and prevent the two families from producing another Hokage!"

Orochimaru's tongue circled his lips, then he tilted his head and said disappointedly, "That's all?"

Jiraiya was taken aback, looking somewhat dazed: "What...what else?"

Orochimaru was even more disappointed: "Jiraiya, forcibly doing things you think are good is more terrifying than the elaborate schemes of bad people. I've come to realize that."

"I suspect that these actions are based... on the prophecy of that giant toad, aren't they?"

Jiraiya nodded repeatedly as he recounted the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, quickly explaining the potential harm that might result from the rise of either Yuuki or Nawaki.

"Heh." Orochimaru laughed in anger. Are you a Konoha ninja or a toad's plaything?

Even if you say: the rise of the Senju clan would have caused great harm to ordinary ninjas, and the rise of the Uchiha clan would have violated the unspoken rules of Konoha.

It's still better than that bullshit toad prophecy!

"Jiraiya, if Uchiha Yuuki were accepted by most of the village, would you still maintain this attitude?"

Jiraiya firmly retorted, "How can someone who creates chaos in the future possibly gain the approval of the majority!"

"future?"

Orochimaru's heart grew colder.

Falling into the trap of so-called prophecies, believing in the fixed nature of fate, and never wanting to struggle out.

How sad.
