Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 216 The Future of Konoha

Seeing Orochimaru stand up, the Third Hokage cast an inquiring glance at Danzo.

Orochimaru is now a Root ninja. Didn't he discuss this with Danzo beforehand?

Danzo closed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself that Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciples were going to rebel again, none of them were obedient.

Nawaki's death caused Orochimaru to feel guilty towards Tsunade.

Seeing Tsunade's resolute attitude, Orochimaru decided to help her.

Orochimaru said, "I've been a bit busy lately and forgot to submit my Jonin recommendation."

It seems there's a lot of controversy surrounding this Jonin recommendation. Perhaps we should wait for me, and then re-examine both the Jonin recommendations I've submitted and the rest.

Tsunade turned to look at Orochimaru beside her, wondering why he had postponed the Jonin recommendation.

Orochimaru also had a group of subordinates by his side.

Strong relationships are most easily formed during wartime.

Many people received promotions and learned ninjutsu from Orochimaru.

Orochimaru also needs a group of obedient subordinates to do his work.

Nara Shikano glanced at the Third Hokage, and seeing that the Hokage didn't say anything, he said:

"In that case, we'll wait for Orochimaru's Jonin recommendation to be submitted, and wait for Konoha Hospital to release its investigation report before re-evaluating the candidates for Jonin promotion."

The Jonin team meeting ended abruptly due to Orochimaru's interference.

On the street outside the Hokage Building, Orochimaru and Tsunade walked side by side, while the Jonin around them tacitly avoided the two of them.

"Orochimaru, what are you doing getting involved? Why did you disrupt my plans? Why are you helping the Third Hokage?"

"Hehe," Orochimaru said.
"You think I'm helping the Third Hokage? I'm helping you, Tsunade."

"Sakumo Hatake is weak, and the Uchiha clan carries the burden of original sin. Why would you consider forming an alliance with them?"

"Sakumo Hatake is weak? He's the White Fang of Konoha, recognized by the Sand Village. How could he be weak?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade with the same expression he'd given an idiot:

"Who wouldn't be ruthless to an enemy? But being ruthless to your own villager is true ruthlessness."

You have no idea about the Third Hokage and Danzo.

Look at Uncle Mitokado Homura, he seems quite gentle, but he's taken at least eight or ten Konoha ninja lives.

Tsunade, how many Konoha ninja have you killed?
The Senju clan believes in tolerance and universal love, Sakumo Hatake believes in the bonds between comrades, and the Uchiha clan believes in becoming stronger through self-torture. Which one is Danzo's match?
In this Jonin promotion, do you dare to kill five special Jonin of the Sarutobi clan and force the Third Hokage to back down?
If they dare to use someone else to kill your people during some unintentional mission, would you dare to retaliate in kind?

You dare? "

Tsunade stood there, her eyes unfocused, looking as frail as a student who hadn't yet graduated from the ninja academy.

"Does it have to be so cruel?"

Orochimaru mocked Tsunade: "Look at your answer, as weak as a slug's body."

If you dare not do anything, then honestly accumulate your strength and do nothing.

The shadow of the great tree of Konoha is darker than you can imagine.

Either wait for these high-ranking officials to die of old age, or be even more ruthless than them.

Your collusion with Sakumo Hatake and the Uchiha clan is utterly ridiculous and foolish; it's as if I don't even know you.

Tsunade's blood rushed into the blood vessels in her head, causing her a splitting headache.

Could it be that Orochimaru was telling the truth, and that I was completely unaware of the darkness within Konoha?
Night Light was very disappointed with the Jonin team meeting.

The crucial battle was interrupted by Orochimaru, leaving them wanting more.

He returned to the Tsurugi Izakaya and set up an earthen barrier.

He knew all the defenses of Konoha Village and that there were no Hyuga ninjas nearby.

After carefully scouting for half an hour and confirming that there were no suspicious persons nearby, he used his psychic powers.

The ninja dog Pakkun appeared in the white smoke.

Parker said, "Is something big happening now?"

"This is indeed a major event," Ye Guang said.

“Pakkun, the village has just stipulated that all Jonin, except for the Anbu Jonin, must serve as the head Jonin of the Ninja Academy at least once within three years. Please tell Lord Sakumo to keep an eye on a guy named Minato Namikaze at the Ninja Academy.”

We must, absolutely must, and absolutely must take him as our disciple.

The infighting within the Jonin ranks is temporary; for Lord Sakumo, it's far less important than taking Minato Namikaze as his disciple.

Parker was extremely confused. The fox specifically emphasized that Sakumo should take on a student as a disciple.

This matter is somewhat outrageous, which makes it seem particularly important.

He didn't ask any further questions and prepared to convey the fox's request.

In the middle of the night, Sakumo Hatake was equally surprised when he heard the fox's message.

The next day, Sakumo Hatake brought Kakashi to the outside of the Ninja Academy.

A ninja greeted Sakumo: "Lord White Fang, what brings you to the Ninja Academy?"

In the Jonin team meeting, Sakumo Hatake was only a low-ranking deputy commander, but in the eyes of ordinary ninjas, White Fang was a highly respected strongman.

Sakumo said, "I brought Kakashi here in advance to experience the atmosphere of the Ninja Academy."

Kakashi looked curiously into the school, where older students were practicing.

Sakumo quickly found his target: Minato Namikaze, with his bright yellow hair.

Minato Namikaze is sparring with an Uchiha student.

The Uchiha clan is known for its precocious ninjas; their children display talent and strength far exceeding that of their peers at a very young age.

Sakumo Hatake immediately noticed Minato Namikaze's unusual behavior.

Calm, so calm.

Whether it's a fist coming straight at him or a foot aimed at his knee, Minato Namikaze tracks it with his eyes.

His pupils followed the movements of the Uchiha student, taking in every detail.

This proves that Minato Namikaze possesses insight and reaction abilities far exceeding those of his peers.

Reaction speed is one of the important talents of a ninja.

Sakumo Hatake's swordsmanship is based on his superior reaction speed compared to others.

Even without the destructive power of the White Fang Blade, giving Sakumo Hatake an ordinary kunai would be enough for him to carve out his own territory.

Hatake Sakumo was secretly alarmed. With such reaction ability, he could easily grow into a Jonin, whether it was taijutsu, swordsmanship, or ninjutsu.

No, perhaps it's very easy to grow into an elite Jonin.

No wonder the fox specifically instructed him to take Minato Namikaze as his disciple.

Minato Namikaze's talent is exceptionally amazing.

"Let's go, Kakashi. You won't be able to enroll until next year, so you'd better listen to your teachers when you're in school."

The next morning at the Dark Army base.

Purple Cat submitted a mission report.

Ye Guang glanced at the scroll and discovered it was a task to monitor Jinchuriki.

All suspicious individuals around Kushina Uzumaki were under the surveillance of the Dark Side.

Kushina's friends, including Minato Namikaze, Mikoto Uchiha, and Sho Senju, were under very high surveillance.

Last night, the Yak Squad took turns monitoring the Jinchūriki. They discovered that the Jinchūriki's best friend, Minato Namikaze, had encountered a new situation.

Minato Namikaze was training hard at a training ground after school when he encountered a father and son.

Sakumo Hatake began teaching Kakashi Hatake kunai and shuriken.

The three met at the training ground.

Nightlight said, "Purple Cat, give this report to Butterfly and tell her that I will personally oversee the next round of surveillance."

"If Sakumo Hatake is involved, the other squad leaders will be discovered; only I can complete the mission."

"Okay, Captain."
