Naruto: I Borrow from the Future

Naruto...

Orochimaru's yellow eyes suddenly turned deep and dark.

Did you ever think about becoming Hokage?

Do not!

His ideal was to learn all the skills in the world; he had dreamed of this since he was a child.

Later, the ninjutsu professor took him as a disciple and taught him all kinds of ninjutsu without reservation. Among the three disciples, he was always the most valued.

Later, his teacher became the Hokage.

After that, he seemed to have thought that if he could succeed his teacher and become Hokage in the future, it wouldn't be bad.

"I never even considered becoming Hokage?"

Recalling this period of his youth, Orochimaru felt a self-mockery in his heart.

For him now, the position of Hokage is no longer important.

but!

It's because he doesn't want it, not because he can't get it!

Ryoma Aburame's words pulled him back from his reverie: "You are indeed very prestigious among the Konoha ninja, but on your own, you probably can't fight against Minato Namikaze, who is supported by the Third Hokage. You need our help."

Orochimaru remained noncommittal.

He was flipping through a ninja resume.

In the upper right corner is a photo of a young man, with his name written on the left: Uchiha Aoya.

He went to the battlefield at the age of nine, never shirking any difficult and dangerous missions, and was seriously injured and on the verge of death many times, seemingly ready to risk his life for Konoha.

Two months ago, he killed hundreds of Iwagakure ninjas and captured Yotsuchi alive in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, which made him famous!

He truly deserves to be called a genius of the Uchiha clan.

While feeling impressed, Orochimaru also developed some curiosity about this genius boy he had never met.

"...I have no interest in getting involved in the conflict between Danzo and the Uchiha clan."

Orochimaru coldly said, "He can take the mission if he wants, or not if he doesn't. It's not like he has to do it anyway."

"Orochimaru, you?!"

Just as Aburame Ryoma was about to say something more.

Suddenly, an announcement came from outside.

Orochimaru became interested and got up to greet him:

"Aoya-kun, it's a pleasure to meet you. I suppose I don't need to introduce myself again?"

As Aoya entered the commander's tent, his gaze swept over Orochimaru, then lingered briefly on Aburame Ryoma on the other side.

Danzo's people...

According to Minato Namikaze, this guy was the one who assigned him to the bridge-bombing mission?

After exchanging greetings with Orochimaru, Aoya got straight to the point: "What exactly is this secret mission?"

"Look this way."

Orochimaru smiled and led Aoya to the map, pointing to a valley on the island of the Land of Water: "Our latest intelligence indicates that Kirigakure may be negotiating peace with Sunagakure soon..."

The war between Konoha and Sunagakure has ended, and a peace treaty has been signed.

However, at the same time, Sunagakure was also at war with Kirigakure and Iwagakure on two other fronts.

The Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village are still locked in fierce fighting, but the scale of the war between the Sand Village and the Kirigakure Village is gradually decreasing, showing signs of a truce.

"That's the situation. If Sunagakure and Kirigakure cease hostilities, Kirigakure will be able to transfer more people to our side."

Orochimaru continued, seeing that Aoya had no intention of responding, "Therefore, if we can make the Sand Village and Kirigakure fail to reach a peace agreement, the situation will be more favorable to us."

Across from him, Qingye remained expressionless and silent.

Sunagakure and Kirigakure negotiated peace...

This plot seems somewhat familiar?

Was it this incident that killed Yagura, the Scorching Release user from Sunagakure?

If I don't intervene, after Pakura is betrayed to Kirigakure by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, the two villages might actually cease hostilities.

A silence fell over the commander's tent.

After waiting for a long time without hearing Aoya respond, Orochimaru said helplessly, "So, the secret mission I need to assign you this time is to sabotage the peace talks between Sunagakure and Kirigakure."

This task was specifically assigned to Uchiha Aoya by Danzo.

They have absolutely no good intentions!

"Has the village and Sunagakure already signed a peace treaty?"

Aoya glanced at Ryoma Aburame out of the corner of his eye and said coldly, "We are now allies of Sunagakure. If we disrupt the peace talks between our allies, who will be held responsible when Sunagakure holds us accountable?"

Orochimaru remained silent.

Knew it.

If the other party isn't stupid, they'll definitely see through the trap.

"All of this is for Konoha!"

Seeing that Orochimaru didn't continue, Aburame Ryoma frowned slightly and chimed in, "As long as we keep our disguise in place and don't get caught by Sunagakure, they won't have anything to say."

Qingye said without any politeness, "Since you make it sound so easy, why don't I give you this task?"

"What did you say?! Uchiha Aoya, this is an order from the village!"

Chi!

A crisp metallic scraping sound rang out, and the atmosphere in the tent instantly became tense.

The katana was drawn half an inch from its sheath, its blade gleaming coldly. Aoya pressed his thumb against the tsuba, his eyes fixed coldly on Aburame Ryoma: "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to speak to me like that?"

"you?!"

Ryoma Aburame jumped up from behind the table, his expression changing drastically.

Before they could even launch an attack, a cold blade flashed past!

With a whoosh, the katana sliced ​​through the air, cleanly cleaving the table in front of Aburame Ryoma, the slightly curved blade aimed precisely at Aburame Ryoma's brow.

"There's something else I'd like to ask you!"

A crimson light flashed in Aoya's eyes, and the Sharingan's power relentlessly oppressed the mind of the person opposite him: "Our team just arrived at the seaside and was about to set sail when our dock base was attacked."

"I'd like to ask, who has such a clear understanding of my whereabouts?!"

Ryoma Aburame, facing the sword, looked grim, but when those scarlet eyes stared at him, he didn't dare to fight back for a moment.

Upon hearing Qingye's words, he immediately retorted, "Nonsense! What makes you think those people came to ambush you?"

Qingye sneered and said, "Sending the head of the Kirigakure Hozuki clan to personally set foot on the land of fire to attack, and I just happened to be going out to sea at that time, who do you think he would be ambushing?"

"..."

Ryoma Aburame opened his mouth, unsure how to refute.

Did the Hozuki clan patriarch personally launch an ambush?

Not many people in Konoha receive this kind of treatment, right?

Could they really be here to ambush Uchiha Aoya? But where did they get information about Uchiha Aoya's whereabouts?

"The war isn't over yet, and some people are already fighting amongst themselves, even leaking information about their own ninjas in an attempt to use others to do their dirty work!"

"Speak up!"

Seeing that Aburame Ryoma remained silent, Aoya's hand trembled, and the katana moved even closer, a red dot spreading across Aburame Ryoma's brow.

"...You're spouting nonsense!"

Ryoma Aburame took a half step back, stubbornly retorting, "What makes you say this has anything to do with us? What evidence do you have?!"

This is bad...

Could it really have been Danzo who did it?

Leaking information about Uchiha Aoya's whereabouts, using Kirigakure to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and then not losing a single thing on his own side... It all seems like Danzo's doing!

But he hasn't received any news about this plan either.

Could it be that Lord Danzo has other plans in the village?
