Saiyans in the Naruto world

Kakashi took out his own box, opened it, and found 100 million yen in cash inside—it just goes to show how incredibly wealthy Root is. There was also a small, glowing purple ball, about the size of a baby's fist.

After Kakashi carefully put the ball away, he took Carrot's envelope and box to find Naruto. Coincidentally, Tsunade and Jiraiya were also there.

"Did Carrot leave this for me?"

Naruto was overjoyed; there was just too much. A whole box of money!

Naruto opened the letter that Karot had left for him.

"Goodbye, Naruto. I've paid you back, so you can't call me stingy anymore."

"Hmph. Carrot, really."

After Naruto finished humming, he continued reading.

"Naruto, you possess the greatest power, yet you don't know how to use it. Accept Kurama (the Nine-Tails), gain Kurama's trust, and Kurama will become your strongest ally. You will become Hokage. Good luck. Karot."

"Carrot makes it sound so simple."

Naruto spoke, clutching Karot's letter. However, the eagerness in his eyes betrayed him; he believed Karot's words and wanted the Nine-Tails' power.

"brush."

"Lord Hokage, Elder Danzo is dead, and the entire Root organization is dead."

The kneeling ANBU reported to Tsunade.

"I understand. You may leave. Keep this a secret and don't let anyone know."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

After saying that, the secret service left.

"I never expected you to leave behind such a huge mess."

Tsunade knows who did it, and so does Jiraiya. The only thing they can do now is minimize the impact.

Chapter 84 Carrot Returns

"what."

Carrot emerged from the door and went straight to Konoha.

"What's going on with this system?"

Carrot asked when he didn't understand. He thought it would appear in Loulan, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"By absorbing the power of the dragon vein, this system can freely choose its landing point."

"Wow, not bad."

"Carrot praised him," he said, then walked through the gates of Konoha. The passersby were all talking about Orochimaru's human experiments. All sorts of rumors were circulating.

"Someone has gone missing in what village?"

"The Third Shinobi World War broke out because Orochimaru captured ninjas from other villages."

They spoke with such conviction that ordinary villagers were easily fooled. This greatly damaged Orochimaru's reputation.

"Looks like someone's sucking their thumb."

Carrot muttered to himself, "It would be a miracle if such a message spread so widely without someone deliberately spreading it. Someone is controlling the direction of public opinion."

Carrot looked towards the Hokage Building.

"Is it you, Lord Hokage? Or Danzo?"

Since you can't find the answer, just ask someone who knows it.

"found it."

Karot found Orochimaru's ki and vanished instantly.

Karot already knew about it the moment he entered Konoha and Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived.

"Jiraiya, Minato, and Carrot are back."

After the ANBU finished reporting and left, Hiruzen Yuan Fei spoke to Jiraiya and Minato.

The three of them were discussing Minato's candidacy. Orochimaru's reputation was now ruined, making it impossible for him to become Hokage. However, Karot's reappearance always made them uneasy.

"Teacher, are there any ways to deal with this?"

Jiraiya asked, "The three Jonin of the Hatake clan possess immense influence within the village. Minato only has one-third of the Hatake clan's support, and even that's the weakest portion. Meanwhile, Carrot, as the highest-ranking officer in a war zone, had many ninja loyal to him, among whom Shisui of the Uchiha clan was his leading figure. As the most outstanding genius of this generation of the Uchiha clan, Shisui now serves as the deputy head of the police department, vying for power with Fugaku, a supporter of Minato."

If Orochimaru hadn't dropped such a bombshell, Minato's approval rating for "human experimentation" would never have been higher than Orochimaru's.

Now that another player, Carrot, has emerged, it remains to be seen who will ultimately prevail in this competition.

"Nothing to do."

"I've got it all figured out," Yuan Fei Hiruzen said confidently. "Minato's approval rating in Konoha has completely surpassed Orochimaru's. All we have to do is quietly wait for the public opinion to build up and solidify the claim that Orochimaru is conducting human experiments, then Minato can take over." In the end, Yuan Fei Hiruzen abandoned Orochimaru and didn't help him quell the public outcry.

"Okay, teacher."

Hearing Hiruzen's words, Jiraiya felt relieved. He couldn't outwit the old fox before him when it came to thinking.

"Minato, don't let your guard down during this time. I have high hopes for you."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Minato knew that the closer it got to the end, the less room for error. Becoming Hokage had always been his dream, and now that it was within reach, Minato needed to be even more focused. With Hiruzen Sarutobi's support, Minato felt even more confident.

"Hiruzen, I didn't expect you to give up Orochimaru."

After Jiraiya and his disciples left, Danzo emerged from the darkness.

"Orochimaru is too powerful."

This is why Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't choose him. If Orochimaru had taken over, he would have immediately implemented reforms, and Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo, along with other elders, would have been the first to be targeted. Hiruzen Sarutobi was unwilling to relinquish his power.

Danzo's cooperation with Hiruzen Sarutobi was also due to Orochimaru and Carrot becoming too close. Orochimaru gradually slipped out of Danzo's control, and when Hiruzen extended an olive branch, Danzo accepted without hesitation. The current news circulating in Konoha was also orchestrated by Hiruzen and Danzo; to strike a snake, you must strike its vital point. A single blow is needed to kill it. And having cooperated with Orochimaru for so long, Danzo naturally knows Orochimaru's weaknesses.

"brush."

"Orochimaru-senpai, you seem quite relaxed!"

When Karot arrived at Orochimaru's laboratory, he saw Orochimaru eating and drinking.

"Oh, it's Carrot, you're back."

Orochimaru looked at the suddenly appearing Karot and said casually, as if nothing could disturb his mood for drinking.

Karot sat down directly in front of Orochimaru and asked Kabuto to bring him a serving. Kabuto quickly served Karot a serving.

A bizarre scene unfolded: one person ate slowly and deliberately, while the other wolfed down his food. After finishing, Carrot picked his teeth and asked...

"Orochimaru-senpai, you really aren't worried at all. Right now, the whole village is full of bad news about you."

"It will greatly affect your team's reputation."

"I've already ordered Shizuku to take action and arrest all those who spread rumors at the police department."

"Is this your approach?"

This is not the kind of stupid method that someone as clever as Orochimaru would come up with.

"To destroy them, first make them mad, so that they think we have fallen into their trap and have no other way to deal with us, they will lower their guard against us."

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Karot immediately realized that Orochimaru already had a solution.

"brush."

"Lord Orochi. The Hokage summons you to a meeting at the Hokage Building tomorrow."

Who are the people going?

Normally, the Anbu are only responsible for relaying messages, but it's a different story when the person asking the question is Orochimaru.

"All Jonin of Konoha."

"Okay, you can go now!"

"Yes."

After saying that, the ANBU ninja left.

"It seems the old man can't hold back anymore."

Recently, Shisui has been on a killing spree. Anyone who insults Orochimaru's human experimentation practices, whether a civilian or a ninja, is arrested, bringing the conflict between Shisui and Fugaku into the open.

"Looks like you've already made arrangements. Tomorrow's going to be a big show."

Carrot didn't ask, after all, it wouldn't be fun if he knew the answer beforehand.

"I thought you wouldn't make it, but I didn't expect you to arrive just in time."

"cheers."

Orochimaru raised his glass and said.

"Ding."

Carrot raised his glass and clinked it together, as if celebrating a victory in advance.

"Shisui."
