Multiverse: The newly appointed Hokage activates the group chat

"Phew, finally here!"

Compared to Naruto, who was in a daze, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Shizune, who had already been informed of the situation by him, all breathed a sigh of relief.

They all knew who the Fifth Hokage was.

"This is the young apprentice the three-generation old man took in?"

"My junior brother?"

Tsunade, whose body was still trembling, slightly raised her eyes and looked ahead.

The first thing that caught her eye was the five prominent characters on Zhang Yan's imperial robe.

"Godaime Hokage!"

Tsunade's pupils suddenly contracted, and a strange feeling of satisfaction welled up in her chest.

The Will of Fire...?

"Ah, it's Brother Zhang Yan!"

"Brother Zhang Yan, what brings you here!"

Naruto finally recognized Zhang Yan and excitedly ran to his side.

Zhang Yan and Naruto certainly knew each other. Under Zhang Yan's arrangement, he was a very important person to Naruto, one of the few people who had been good to him since childhood.

"Knowing you were in danger, I came!"

Zhang Yan turned around, grinned, and looked very sunny.

Well, he said his bright smile was definitely not because he saw many people in the guild's live stream commenting things like "So strong," "So handsome," or "So amazing."

Absolutely not!

"Brother Zhang Yan, when did you become the Fifth Hokage?"

Although Naruto was happy to see Zhang Yan, what he cared about most was that Zhang Yan had become Hokage.

"Yes, I just took office today!"

Zhang Yan turned his back, pointed to the five large characters behind him, and laughed, "How about it? Pretty cool, right?"

"So handsome, so incredibly handsome!"

"I will definitely become Hokage someday!"

Naruto nodded quickly, his eyes sparkling, making no attempt to hide his longing for the Hokage position.

Fortunately, he didn't say he wanted to become the Hokage this time, otherwise Zhang Yan couldn't guarantee he wouldn't turn on him.

"As expected, it's the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Unlike Naruto's carefree attitude, when Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Kabuto heard Zhang Yan say that he had just succeeded as Hokage, their pupils suddenly contracted, and an expression of understanding appeared on their faces.

Tanzaku Town is quite a distance from Konoha. Even a Jonin traveling non-stop would need three days to reach it. Zhang Yan, who just became Hokage today, could not possibly have started his journey there three days ago.

There's only one reason why he's here now.

The art of flying thunder god!

This S-rank difficulty space-time ninjutsu, created by the Second Hokage, has only been mastered by Jiraiya's disciple, Minato Namikaze, and has earned him fame throughout the ninja world, the title of "Yellow Flash," aside from the Second Hokage himself. (Minato's three bodyguards also knew it, but they needed to use it together, so they don't count.)

I never expected it to happen to Zhang Yan today.

Genius...?

Orochimaru licked his lips, looked at Zhang Yan, and said with a meaningful smile, "Junior brother, we meet again. I didn't expect you to know the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Orochimaru and Kabuto reacted quickly; they had already dodged and jumped to the ground to the side when Zhang Yan hit Manda with the Giant Rasengan.

"I'm fine!" Zhang Yan smiled nonchalantly, then cracked his neck and asked, "Orochimaru-senpai, are you planning to fight next?"

If possible, Zhang Yan does not intend to fight Orochimaru.

One reason is that Orochimaru is difficult to kill; who knows what cells and clones he has planted somewhere in the ninja world in preparation for resurrection?

On the other hand, Zhang Yan's initial plan to conquer the ninja world and the Naruto world also included recruiting Orochimaru, who later returned to Konoha in the original story.

Although he has now joined the Super Dimensional Guild, his plans have been adjusted.

But he still yearned for a talent like Orochimaru.

As long as Orochimaru doesn't cross his bottom line or offend him, he's someone he can recruit.

"Let it go this time!"

"Next time you have the chance, I'll try to see your magnanimity, junior brother."

Orochimaru shook his head decisively and prepared to leave without uttering any harsh words.

In fact, the moment he recognized Zhang Yan, he had already planned to leave.

If he were in his prime, as he said, he wouldn't mind sparring with his junior brother Zhang Yan. After all, Tsunade, who suffers from hemophobia, and Jiraiya, who is under the influence of a drug, are not considered combat power, but rather a burden.

Of course, it was just a contest.

Orochimaru was wary of Zhang Yan and did not want to fight him to the death.

Now, with his hands sealed by the Third Hokage, he can only unleash about 30% of his abilities, which is not much better than Tsunade and Jiraiya, so he has even less of that idea.

To challenge Zhang Yan, who possesses the ability to fly like a thunder god, at this time would be to invite humiliation.

Moreover, judging from Zhang Yan's appearance, it's clear that he has definitely mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. The fact that he was able to arrive here in time means that Jiraiya has always carried the Flying Thunder God Technique with him.

But here's the question: how did Jiraiya notify Zhang Yan of his arrival?

If they had been notified in advance, wouldn't that be too much of a coincidence?

This further demonstrates that Zhang Yan was no ordinary person.

What made Orochimaru most wary of Zhang Yan was another discovery.

Half a month ago, after he launched the Konoha Collapse Plan, Zhang Yan seemed to have known about it all along and quickly made various reactions, leading the Konoha ninjas to start a counterattack.

Actually, this is alright; perhaps Zhang Yan obtained the information from somewhere.

But a few days after the battle ended, Orochimaru, combining the intelligence he had been gathering with the battle report from Konoha that Kabuto had brought back, discovered a startling fact.

The majority of the Konoha ninjas and Anbu who died in the war were either die-hard loyalists of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, or people from the Root organization!

Now, he discovers that Danzo Shimura, the ambitious man who has been plotting for the Hokage position for many years and secretly cooperating with him, is still lurking in the shadows.

On the contrary, Zhang Yan, at a young age, actually rose to become Hokage.

Is all of this just a coincidence?

Okay, even if it's all just a coincidence.

Orochimaru hadn't forgotten that Zhang Yan was actually nearby when he fought the Third Hokage to the death.

Back then, whenever Zhang Yan used the Flying Thunder God Technique to enter the barrier, Orochimaru would have to kneel down.

But in fact, the Third Hokage died, and now Zhang Yan has become the Hokage!

These events made Orochimaru realize that although Zhang Yan was young, his strategic thinking and intelligence far surpassed those of countless others.

"Little junior brother!"

My sixth sense tells me not to be your enemy!

"Well then, goodbye!"

Chapter 14 Wind Release: Rasengan, Tsunade is about to have a change of heart! 4/5 (New book seeking all kinds of help)

"Sixth sense?"

"A sense of danger from the snake?"

"As expected of Orochimaru..."

Seeing that Orochimaru didn't make any probing moves, and even retreated without uttering any threats, Zhang Yan was somewhat surprised, but quickly came to terms with it.

Orochimaru is known as the scientist of the Naruto world. He is the most successful one in pursuing the path of immortality. He has died and been resurrected several times, and he has survived until Boruto and is still alive and well!

This guy is also quite skilled at using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

What's most amazing is its unique attribute that ensures it never suffers a loss.

Take the recent Konoha Crush plan, for example. Because the Grim Reaper wanted his hands, he managed to exploit a bug in the Grim Reaper's system and cut open its belly.

This kind of person is truly cautious.

"It seems he has discovered some information about me."

"I guess this is a different kind of muscle-flexing for me."

"It might be much easier to recruit Orochimaru in the future."

Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't seem to care too much.

If he knew that Jiraiya was the one behind some of his secret schemes, then there would be quite a few things to say. But if it were Orochimaru, the other party would definitely only agree with him.

Overall, it's a good thing.

Orochimaru and Kabuto left, and Zhang Yan showed no intention of chasing after them. Jiraiya and Tsunade also remained silent.
