I have a bunch of relatives who want to become Hokage.

Chapter Five: Escape

As the sun sets and the last rays of sunlight disappear into the earth, the streetlights of Konoha Village gradually come on. The North District, as the most prosperous area of ​​Konoha, is bustling with people, and the residents of Konoha enjoy their hard-won peaceful life under the bright orange lights.

The lights grew brighter and brighter, erasing the shadows of the buildings and leaving only the shadows of people. Darkness and light cannot coexist, but they coexist harmoniously in Konoha Village.

Most people were browsing shops, while others were taking leisurely strolls. The northern part of the city was filled with laughter and joy.

In contrast, Xicheng District is much quieter.

The residential area is sparsely lit and quiet; people are either resting at home or enjoying the nightlife in the northern part of the city.

A secret ninja codenamed "Rin" emerged from the river near the forest.

His posture was stiff, and he climbed onto the riverbank with strange movements.

With a snapping sound, his skin began to loosen and wrinkle, and then it slipped off.

A man with long hair, a pale face, and snake-like eyes stood in the center of a shriveled human skin.

After glancing at the brilliant lights of the north, Orochimaru, now freed from his predicament, withdrew his gaze and shot into the forest with a whoosh.

Only a pile of human skin remained in the same spot.

After a while, several ANBU ninjas appeared and landed on the riverbank.

"Ren has been spotted." Someone sent out a message over the radio. "Orochimaru has revealed his true form. People on the side walls, be on high alert."

“They can’t stop them,” the other person said.

"I know, as long as we find Orochimaru's trail, Jiraiya-sama will stop him."

"Aren't you going to notify the garrison?"

"No need, Lord Jiraiya requested to handle it personally."

After a brief conversation, several members of the ANBU followed the trail left by Orochimaru and entered the forest.

All indications suggest that Orochimaru stopped concealing his whereabouts after arriving at this location, and his direction of travel was very clear.

It came in a straight line...

There was no way they could catch up, and they wouldn't even have a chance to become heroes. The members of the secret service immediately sent the message back.

No sooner had they sent the message than they heard a loud bang coming from the west.

The earth was shaking.

[As expected of one of the Legendary Sannin, their movements are incredibly fast!]

The secret agents groaned inwardly, but could only quicken their pace.

Whether running there will make a difference or not, we still have to go...

At the same time, in the izakaya, Uchiha Shingen's hand, which had just raised his glass, froze in mid-air.

"Brother Shingen? What's wrong?" Uchiha Tetsuka asked, his face covered in graffiti.

He just became the target of today's criticism because of his fish farming, and now he's racking his brains for ways to avoid drinking.

It's not that I'm afraid of drinking, it's that I have no fun if I don't avoid drinking.

"Wait a moment." Uchiha Shingen stood up from the tatami mat and ran to the French windows that were covered by curtains.

The western sky was dark and obscured, making it impossible to discern anything.

But just now, he sensed a powerful burst of chakra coming from that direction.

And they were very familiar with it.

It belongs to Orochimaru.

The timing and method of Orochimaru's defection are not mentioned in the manga, and they are no longer relevant in this timeline.

Judging from the intensity of the chakra, Uchiha Shingen determined that the other party had summoned Orochi.

However, the western city wall is too far away from here. Orochimaru's operation over there won't affect the northern district.

So Uchiha Shingen decided to pretend he didn't know.

The bond between the three legendary ninjas was something he participated in, albeit in a meager way.

Uchiha Shingen plopped back down among the flowers and resumed his playful antics with the ladies. A group of menacing women began to relentlessly pour alcohol onto Uchiha Tetsuka.

Before they could enjoy themselves for long, the Uchiha heard someone running in the corridor.

Uchiha Shingen slid into the young lady's arms with a whoop, drunken look, which made her playfully scold him.

The others followed suit, each one more limp than the last, and the scene immediately became chaotic with everyone stumbling and falling over.

Then, the door was suddenly pulled open, and a white dog's head poked its head in.

"Sir Shingen, Hokage..."

The white-haired dog-headed man had barely begun speaking when several pairs of Sharingan eyes glared at him.

Several Uchiha members, who appeared to be drunk and acting out, shouted in unison, "Get lost!"

If illusions were tangible, then a row of illusions would simultaneously be directed at the white-haired kobold.

The white-haired man, whose face was covered in illusion magic, stumbled back several steps but didn't fall; he withstood the blow.

He was clearly feeling unwell; his breathing was uneven.

He ripped off his mask, revealing a face that all the Uchiha recognized.

"what?"

"He's not doing a handstand!"

"that's amazing!"

"Why does he look so familiar?" Uchiha Tetsuka took the opportunity to tear off the few pieces of paper stuck to his eyebrows. "Kakashi Hatake?"

Uchiha Shingen reluctantly rose from the waves.

"Lord Shingen." Kakashi Hatake ignored the impure scene before him. "The Hokage requests that you proceed to the West District to assist Lord Jiraiya with his mission."

"What mission?" Uchiha Shingen was still a little unwilling to give up.

"The Hokage said, you understand."

Why are you mimicking his speech?

Uchiha Shingen was very disappointed that Minato Namikaze, who used to speak honestly when chatting with him, was gone forever.

The position of Hokage is truly evil...

"Okay, I understand." Uchiha Shingen got up. "I'll go, don't rush me."

"Do you need to sober up?" Kakashi Hatake looked at him, seemingly disdainful.

Uchiha Shingen was even more disdainful than him.

Those who drink and brothels and those who read erotic novels, neither should look down on the other!

Oh right, Kakashi Hatake hasn't started reading erotic novels yet.

It's alright, once the first issue of "Icha Icha Paradise" is officially published, he'll buy a copy and give it to Kakashi Hatake.

"Who else will go?" Uchiha Shingen asked.

"There's no one left."

"Row."

Uchiha Shingen thought to himself that this was really boring. He greeted the others, went to the front desk to pay the bill, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to get home.

After changing into combat gear, he disappeared from his home and reappeared in front of a collapsed section of city wall.

A large snake was about to slither into the forest, and several secret agents were leaping and bounding to stop it.

No, it's an attempt to stop it.

However, these secret agents are clearly not the type to fight head-on; their most powerful weapon is explosive tags...

Hitting a giant snake only produces a puff of smoke; it doesn't even break its skin.

Uchiha Shingen leaped up and landed on the giant snake's head, pressing his hand down on the snake's head to forcibly release the snake from its summoning and send it back to Ryuchi Cave.

He landed back on the ground and saw the few shady-looking members of the secret service.

"Where's Orochimaru?" he asked irritably.

Sending someone like that to chase Orochimaru, are you sure it's not just sending them to their deaths?

Fortunately, Orochimaru was in a hurry to leave, otherwise, if he had come back anytime, these people would be squatting in the sacred land, roasting fires and eating skewers.

"After he breached the city wall, he headed north."

The secret service replied.

After saying that, the ANBU member looked in the direction Uchiha Shingen had come from.

"Lord Shingen, did you come with Lord Jiraiya?"

"I was summoned by the Hokage," said Shingen Uchiha, then looked north and began to sense his surroundings.

Oh wow, I sensed it, Jiraiya is here too.

Ignoring the few secret agents, he left using the Instantaneous Movement Technique.

There's no need for the Flying Thunder God Technique now; let Orochimaru and Jiraiya have some quality time together first.

Chapter Six: The Bonds of the Three Sannin

As Uchiha Shingen raced through the forest, he recalled everything about the Sannin in his mind.

The bond between the three legendary Sannin is probably the most complex and bizarre in the Naruto world.

Life and death, principles and techniques, ideals and reality—these three people have managed to create a rather symmetrical balance.

Orochimaru, who fears death, frantically researches ninjutsu in order to avoid dying.

Tsunade, who cherishes life, values ​​it above all else.
