The life of a villain starting from Naruto

"Morning, Orochimaru-sama!"

"Hello, Mr. Buchou, this is the waiting list for promotion to Jonin."

"Lord Orochimaru, thank you for your hard work."

The man with pale skin and golden snake eyes walked into the exclusive office. Along the way, every Konoha ninja who saw him showed great respect.

Whether it was his remaining power before leaving the village, his performance in turning the tide in the past four years, or his heroic act of resisting the explosion with his flesh and blood the night before, Orochimaru was the well-deserved "successor of the Will of Fire" in the eyes of any villager.

Everyone understands that the Third Hokage is too old. For a sixty-year-old ninja, when he wakes up every day, his body functions are a little weaker than yesterday. Sarutobi Hiruzen is more tired than anyone else. It is a pity that Namikaze Minato died early. Yao disrupted his retirement plan, so he could only cheer up and shoulder the responsibility of being a shadow again.

The fifth Hokage is Orochimaru, it's a sure thing.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had mentioned this matter on many occasions, and he was even more enthusiastic than he was with Namikaze Minato. Looking at the old man's eyes, if it wasn't really out of line with the rules, he might have forced Orochimaru to put on the god robe. Retired for the second time.

As soon as he sat down, Orochimaru called Uchiha Shisui in.

"Mr. Minister, are you looking for me?"

"Yeah." Orochimaru said directly:

"After I become Hokage, this office will be yours."

"Ah?" The short-haired boy carrying the knife quickly reacted:

"Me? Minister of ANBU?"

"This matter has been approved by Lord Hokage. No matter what you think in your heart, you cannot shirk it. This is also the responsibility of being a Konoha ninja."

"But, but I am an Uchiha, and my teacher..."

Orochimaru spoke softly, his voice was hoarse and had a strange magnetism:

"In my eyes, both Uchiha and the owner of Ichiraku Ramen are members of the village. The future ANBU minister is Uchiha Shisui. He is my subordinate and a very trustworthy Konoha ninja. ." He paused, looked at the young man with an expression of emotion on his face, and waved his hands like he was shooing away flies:

"Don't show that worthless expression. I'll give you a day off. From tomorrow on, you have to look at the problem from a perspective beyond that of an ordinary ninja."

"Yes, Sir Minister... thank you for your trust."

Shisui bowed solemnly and left the minister's office.

Orochimaru took out a pen and paper without any emotion. Just as he was about to approve today's documents, he heard the call from the teacher upstairs.

He glanced at the mountain of official scrolls and couldn't help but frown.

That kid Hyuga Yuuto... I heard that he worked late into the night every day. It seems like this is true, right?

We need to sort out the personnel structure, Orochimaru thought, lowering his head in thought all the way, and entered the Hokage's office.

"Ah, Orochimaru, you came just in time!" Hiruzen Sarutobi banged his pipe on the table, blew his beard and glared:

"Listen, what did Jiraiya say?"

"Hey, old man, why are you so angry..." Jiraiya, who was sitting in a wheelchair, sneered:

"Didn't I just mention it?"

"You can't bring it up!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was serious:

"Using the cells of the first Hokage to rebuild your lower limbs? Do you want to desecrate the remains of your ancestors? Lord Hashirama, he has worked hard for Konoha his whole life, but in the end he ended up being dug up by his own people? Orochimaru, listen to me Do you understand what I mean? Don’t help him!"

Jiraiya lowered his head, holding the handle of the wheelchair with one hand and pinching his empty trousers with the other.

Seeing his appearance, the old man suddenly felt guilty. He took a puff of his pipe and softened his tone:

"Sorry, Jiraiya, I can promise you anything, except this one. You are one of the dignified Sannin and represent Konoha. The village must not bear the reputation of playing with the dead..."

Orochimaru took in the expressions of the two men, and his golden snake eyes flashed thoughtfully.

Although he has "returned from evil and returned to righteousness", Orochimaru is still a fanatical person with a strong desire to explore.

In his opinion, magic is just magic, and it has nothing to do with whether it is evil or not?

The teacher is just too rigid. It makes sense not to reincarnate in the dirt, but if you don't use the technology of rebirth of severed limbs, Jiraiya's career as a ninja is in vain. Isn't that just funny...

"But Uchiha Obito..." Jiraiya muttered, his voice so quiet that it was almost inaudible.

"He is a rebellious ninja. He released the Nine-Tails to cause trouble in the village. Why do you compare yourself to him?" Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and glared at Orochimaru:

"Orochimaru, I want you to promise me not to help Jiraiya in this matter."

The man with golden snake eyes had no expression on his face. After a long time, he slowly said:

"Yes, sensei, I swear that I will not help Jiraiya rebuild his legs."

——That’s weird!

Orochimaru suppressed the urge to laugh. If the teacher hadn't mentioned "Hashirama Cells" today, he really wouldn't have the exact direction.

Because Hashirama's cells had left the village, he felt a little indescribably wary about this thing, but thinking about it carefully, the cells of the first Hokage could probably help Jiraiya.

Well, after becoming the Fifth Hokage, he took time to study the technology of reshaping severed limbs. Once he succeeded, he could secretly use it for Jiraiya. By then, the rice would have been cooked and it would be too late to stop him.

Orochimaru really didn't believe that the teacher could be so cruel as to break off Jiraiya's new leg.

As for why he decided to help Jiraiya in his heart but firmly vowed not to do it in his mouth, it must be attributed to Orochimaru's growth in the past four years.

In the past, although his status was high, there were Danzo, Sakumo, Jiraiya and Tsunade who were equal to him above him, so he could not be regarded as the "talker" of Konoha.

But in the past four years, Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen have discussed all major and minor matters. Although they have no status, they are real leaders.

As a leader, no matter what you say and do, you have to be much more tactful than before.

Orochimaru thought not to be tough with the teacher and to settle the matter secretly, so he spoke very seriously to show his determination.

Teacher, don't blame me, I'm doing this for the good of Konoha. As for why Jiraiya will be able to grow legs in the future, this is what the so-called man is not as good as God... Hey.

Orochimaru was happy in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen was unhappy in his heart, and his perception of the outside world was half as weak.

It was this mere half-measure that prevented them from noticing something quite abnormal.

After hearing Orochimaru's oath, Jiraiya sat in a wheelchair like a deflated rubber ball, his eyes dim and without any of his former heroic demeanor.

Hugely disappointed, he failed to guess Orochimaru's thoughts, and ignored the strong guilt and hesitation in Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

After all, it is not as good as God.

…

Crunch, crunch.

"Huh? Master Jiraiya, are you here?" Shizune showed a smile and invited the white-haired man to enter the Senju clan:

"I'll call Tsunade-sama..."

"No, I came here by accident." Jiraiya scratched his head, feeling relieved.

Shizune, who was holding the piglet, covered her mouth and chuckled:

"Oh~ I all know that you, Orochimaru-sama, and Tsunade-sama are close friends. We can trust each other's backs, so what's the shame in chatting."

"Then I'll trouble you, Shizune." Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief. It concerned Orochimaru and his teacher. He couldn't talk to anyone else and could only talk to Tsunade about what was on his mind.

Ninjas who lost their legs suffered not only physical devastation, but also their minds became much more fragile over time.

However, what he didn't expect was that Shizune disappeared in a flash and came back quickly.

"I'm sorry, Jiraiya-sama." The girl couldn't help but apologize:

"Tsunade-sama closed the door. I can't get in."

"What?"

"Oh, that's it." Shizune explained:

"After the battle with Uchiha Obito the night before, Tsunade-sama was seriously injured. She often locked herself in the house throughout the day without seeing anyone."

"Is she really okay?"

"It must be fine. I feel that Tsunade-sama is in a better mood recently. She always smiles when we meet, and her appetite has increased a lot."

"That's good." Jiraiya felt relieved. Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't bother and left the Senju clan after a few words.

Sigh... Let's go have some drinks.
