Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

In other words, the system is long gone, and the last task given was practically meaningless, which is why Yun'an has never paid attention to these details.

However, with Orochimaru's arrival and his self-disclosure, Yun An probably has no choice but to take it seriously and even prepare for more upheavals in the ninja world.

However, to be honest, seeing Orochimaru like this really brought back a memory from a very long time ago.

Who says Orochimaru can't be a good person?

At this point, Orochimaru, in Yun An's eyes, should be seen as a qualified politician, rather than a stubborn researcher.

A politician's awareness and benevolent approachability are among the key factors.

This was the best disguise that Yun An taught Orochimaru back then. It not only enabled him to achieve his ideals, but also allowed him to make more friends and gather more subordinates.

This will allow him to better achieve his ideals and accomplish everything he does with greater efficiency.

Orochimaru did a good job back then. As for what happened in that parallel world after Yun An left, Yun An had no idea. But judging from Orochimaru's current state, he probably wasn't doing too badly either.

"You guys chat, I'm going to water my flowers first."

Yun An made up a random excuse and left the room.

He took off his coat from the rack, put it on, and slowly left his small home in the slum, facing the morning breeze.

Although life at home seemed peaceful and serene, at this moment, as the sun rose, rays of dawn fell on the streets of Konoha Village, especially on the hillside road near the edge of the slums where Yun'an lived, illuminating two figures, one in front of the other, who had just returned to the village after completing their mission.

"Youth, this is the burning passion of youth! Kakashi, let's see who gets back to the Hokage Building and delivers the mission first. The loser has to treat everyone to barbecue."

The young man in green armor performed a backflip in the morning sun, then changed his posture in mid-air, his legs becoming a blur as he shot off like a flying arrow.

Kakashi, wearing a blue mask behind him, looked bored, but when Might Guy invited him, he instinctively formed hand seals and quickly set off.

The two of them, one after the other, flashed past the edge of the civilian area where Yun'an was, creating a rare sight in Konoha Village at dawn.

In front of the Hokage's office building, Might Guy stopped, flashed a "V" sign, and his square, bronze-skinned face was full of smugness. He then loudly addressed Kakashi, who had just arrived late, "Kakashi, you lost this time. The barbecue is on you."

"understood."

Kakashi walked past him with his hands in his pockets and a bored look on his face, then entered the building to deliver the mission.

Standing in front of the office building, Might Guy scratched his head and muttered to himself with a strange expression, "Just now, I think I sensed Lord Orochimaru's aura using the internal martial arts I learned in my dream."

"But why would Lord Orochimaru suddenly appear in the slums? Could it be that I'm still too inexperienced and misinterpreted his words?"

"That's very possible."

Might Guy looked self-reflective, then nodded vigorously, and muttered to himself, "After all, even the man in my dream said that even a genius like him makes mistakes, let alone a hard-working genius like me, Might Guy."

"Go go go!!!"

"Matt Kai, keep burning with youthful energy. Never let the present moment slip away; a bright tomorrow awaits you."

"Internal martial arts, internal martial arts, internal martial arts, oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

……

"Greetings, Lord Orochimaru."

"Look, it's Lord Orochimaru. One of the legendary Sannin."

"Hahaha, let me tell you, I'm going to become a hero ninja like Lord Orochimaru, maybe even stronger than him."

In a corner of the Konoha morning market, a group of children, led by their parents, jumped and played around.

Some children greeted Orochimaru warmly; others put their hands on their hips, their mouths agape, full of admiration.

Even the parents accompanying him, while somewhat reserved in their attitude upon seeing Orochimaru, were mostly respectful.

That was a deep-seated approval.

Unlike other heroes of Konoha, Orochimaru was a commoner like most of the villagers.

Although Jiraiya was also a commoner, his unconventional behavior made him far less reassuring than Orochimaru, whose powerful presence provided a sense of security; he was even far inferior to the former White Fang of Konoha.

After all, Konoha's White Fang came from the small Hatake clan, which was different from most commoners in terms of class origin.

As for Tsunade, needless to say, she is arguably the most upright and loyal member of Konoha.

The title "Princess of Konoha" is not without reason.

"I didn't realize you were so popular."

Yun An glanced at Orochimaru, who had just finished talking with Lin Chuan and was now traveling with him, and said calmly.

Faced with Yun An's praise, Orochimaru's gentle face revealed a smile. His tone was not as cold as before, but unexpectedly carried a hint of warmth. That warmth did not seem fake, but rather like a heartfelt sincerity, making people unconsciously want to open their hearts to him: "Thank you for your kind words, Yun An-kun."

"Actually, I didn't do anything. It's just that, as Yun Anjun said before, most villagers don't want much. They just want to get back what they deserve."

"And that's all I did."

At this point, the conversation has basically been out in the open.

Yun looked at the other person quietly, and Orochimaru met his gaze, his eyes no longer showing the obsession he used to have.

The basic qualities that did not meet the standards of a qualified scientific researcher have faded away, replaced by a more rigorous and all-encompassing composure.

"Yun Anjun, I had a dream."

Orochimaru suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible melancholy, "In my dream, someone said that science is everything. And science is about not being afraid of failure, accumulating experience through repeated failures, which is the ladder to success."

"Yun'an-kun, that man also said that perhaps Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, could become the next Hokage of Konoha."

"What does Yun'an Jun think?"

As Yun An listened to Orochimaru's account, his gaze flickered slightly.

At this moment, he vaguely recalled...

That was probably when he was carrying out his third reincarnation mission.

At that time, he had just awakened his memories and was in the Konoha Orphanage. He was not in the same period as Kabuto Yakushi, but rather in the same period as Orochimaru.

The orphanage at that time was in poor condition. Because it was during the war, it could only maintain the most basic living conditions and did not receive much investment from the village.

There were some serious fights and escapes inside, but the adults didn't care.

These children, who came from outside the village and through other channels, constituted the main body of the orphanage.
