When Orochimaru suddenly entered the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi first glanced out the window.

Konoha's multi-layered defense system failed to generate any warning.

The reconnaissance squads on the walls of Konoha, the village's barrier, the patrol squads of the Uchiha Police Department, and the Anbu near the Hokage Building—none of these had any effect on Orochimaru.

Even he only realized Orochimaru had arrived when he saw him.

A thought suddenly arose in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind: if Orochimaru became a rogue ninja, the entire defense system of Konoha would be rendered useless.

Orochimaru has always held important positions, especially his experience in Root and Anbu, which made him extremely familiar with Konoha's core secrets.

The most important barrier in Konoha Village was set up by the Second Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who himself did not have the ability to improve the barrier.

"Orochimaru, Mitokado Homura has always said I've spoiled you too much, and I've never wanted to admit it. This time, you actually deserted the front lines without permission! You've gone too far, Orochimaru!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was so loud that even the nearby Anbu began to stir.

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, and the Anbu outside the window saw the signal to clear the area. They quickly went to notify the other Anbu members not to come over rashly, and not to allow anyone else to enter the Hokage Building to report.

The ANBU member saw Orochimaru in the office and could hardly believe his eyes.

It should be...it should be a shadow clone, right?

As expected of Lord Orochimaru, he managed to return to the village from the front lines with just a shadow clone.

"The front line?" Orochimaru said calmly, "The front line no longer needs me. Uchiha Rin's growth rate is astonishing, and he just defeated me."

With Uchiha Ryo around, there won't be any problems on the front lines in the Land of Rivers.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils contracted, and his aura changed drastically.

The Anbu members inside the Hokage Building almost simultaneously turned their heads to look through the wall towards the Hokage's office.

Why does the Hokage exude such an aura? This is a situation that only occurs when chakra leaks out when fighting a desperate battle with an enemy.

The black gorilla suddenly remembered that during the Second Shinobi World War, his father had faced Onoki in the same way. The chakra emanating from his father made the black gorilla, who was a hundred meters away, tremble with fear.

Inside the Hokage's office, the desk creaked and cracked under the pressure of chakra.

The tiles on the floor cracked and splintered.

The glass in the picture of the Second Hokage on the wall is also shattered.

The blue chakra seemed to come to life, drifting around the office.

Orochimaru has never shown much respect for Hiruzen Sarutobi, but at this moment his eyes were serious, as Hiruzen's chakra reserves were at least two or three times that of him.

This is Hiruzen Sarutobi, who became Hokage using the Five Elements Escape Technique.

Orochimaru, carrying the dissipated chakra, continued:

"I placed a cursed seal on Uchiha Ryo, just like I did on other test subjects, so that Uchiha Ryo could come into contact with natural energy."

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Ryo possessed such high talent that he was able to develop his own Sage Mode using those natural energies that were full of impurities.

I won't go into the details of the battle; you can get the most detailed information from Sarutobizo.

If you're only worried about the outcome of the war in the Land of Rivers, there's no need to worry. Uchiha Ryo has the strength to defeat the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was gaunt, his cheeks were even more sunken, and his whole body was tense.

"If Uchiha Ryo's strength improves significantly, then you should be on the front lines. Who else can restrain him besides you? Do you expect me to transfer Jiraiya to the front lines in the Land of Rivers?"

"Hmph! Why don't you go to the front lines in the Land of Rivers and suppress Uchiha Ryo yourself?"

"Orochimaru!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted fiercely.

"Uchiha Ryo is lawless. He will torture Sarutobi Zango and others on the front lines, leaving him alone there. How can the war continue?"

"Don't worry, Uchiha Ryo does torture Sarutobizo, but he also enjoys torturing Chiyo and Rasa. Sarutobizo and the others on the front lines will certainly suffer, but Rasa and Chiyo will suffer even more."

"Orochimaru! What are you trying to do?!"

Orochimaru lightly lifted his toes and stomped on the ground. A broken tile bounced up and landed in Orochimaru's hand.

The tile fragments exploded in Orochimaru's hand and shot towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table with his fingertip, sending the calligraphy brush flying and hitting a shard of tile.

His expression turned to surprise.

"Orochimaru, in Sarutobi's report to me, he said that Uchiha Ryo was the first to master Explosion Release. He has always suspected that you are obsessed with Explosion Release experiments because you have not mastered Explosion Release. Could it be that...?"

"I have just mastered the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai. The power of the Kekkei Genkai has disappointed me. Explosion Release is among the top Kekkei Genkai, but this power is nothing special."

"Hiruzen-sensei, make a request. I want the Scroll of Seals from Konoha."

"Conditions? Are you making a deal with me?"

"Otherwise, would you have given me the Book of Seals?"

Orochimaru's eyes were filled with barely suppressed complaint, even bordering on resentment. He said:

"You've been guarding the Book of Seals for so many years, yet you haven't passed on the forbidden techniques within it to the village's ninjas?"

The village has a forbidden ninja, Kato Dan. Kato Dan's forbidden techniques are inherited from his family, and have nothing to do with you.

:

you want···"

Orochimaru wanted to say, "Are you going to take the Book of Seals to your grave?" But he didn't say that. He felt as if he had been influenced by Uchiha Rin, and his words became increasingly harsh.

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "I still don't know the results of those experiments you and Danzo conducted."

Danzo also read the Scroll of Seals; didn't he give you any forbidden techniques?

"I spent years of my time conducting experiments for Danzo, and in the end he gave me two forbidden techniques that were of little use to me: the Mutual Multiplication Explosion Talisman and the Inner Four Symbols Seal."

I know some clues about the Second Hokage's important research; truly powerful forbidden techniques are not these trash.

I want to see the Book of Seals, all the forbidden techniques. Hiruzen-sensei, make a condition.

I am 35 years old this year, and I don't have much time left.

The Third Shinobi World War held no appeal for me; it was just another massive death reshuffle.

Give me a definite answer as soon as possible; I'm not joking.

If I encounter a forbidden technique in Konoha, I will leave the village like Tsunade and seek my own path.


Tsunade has already left the village. If Orochimaru leaves the village as well, it will not only be a huge loss to the village's fighting strength, but it will also severely damage Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputation.

One by one, the disciples he trained, who were at the Shadow level, left the village.

The villagers were very resentful after Tsunade left, because Tsunade was a Kage-level medical ninja, and with Tsunade around, they were not afraid of even the most serious injuries.

Jiraiya rarely appeared in the village and had a distant relationship with the villagers.

If Orochimaru also leaves, everyone will doubt Hiruzen Sarutobi's ability to manage his subordinates, and very few people will genuinely listen to him anymore.

"Orochimaru, go all out in this war. All three battlefields are in grave danger. If you give it your all, I will give you the Book of Sealing after the war."

Orochimaru only said, "I'll trust you one last time, Hiruzen-sensei."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was grim; Orochimaru had actually said something like, "Trust me one last time."

"Return to the battlefield of the Land of Rivers and defeat the Hidden Sand Village."

"I refuse. I've already been defeated by Uchiha Ryo. How could I possibly go back to face him and admit my defeat every time I see him?"

"Then go to the battlefield in the Land of Waterfalls. Danzo is under a lot of pressure there."

"make a deal."
