Not far from Konoha Hospital, there is the Konoha Ninja Tomb, and near the Ninja Tomb is Konoha's Memorial Monument.

After leaving the hospital with Kabuto, Orochimaru stopped by.

He thought of another disciple of his. Now that he was about to recruit a new disciple, he could not help but feel something. Since the distance was very close, he came over to take a look.

In front of the memorial monument, his eyes quickly found the name carved on the monument - Rope Tree.

"…Do you want to become Hokage?"

Kabuto was stunned for a moment, sweating on his forehead as he was still a little uneasy. After thinking about it, he still replied: "I haven't thought about it."

Kabuto didn't think that he should become Hokage. He was a very practical person, and he didn't think that he, an orphan picked up outside the village, could become the shadow of Konoha.

His biggest hope now is to live well with the dean.

He thinks that his desire is very small.

"You have the qualifications to become Hokage." A hand was placed on Kabuto's head and rubbed.

Jean Kabuto couldn't help but frown and endure.

"After all, you are my disciple."

"I was not born in Konoha."

"It doesn't matter, you are an orphan created by Konoha after experiencing the Great Ninja War."

"..."

Kabuto lowered his head speechlessly.

Of course he understood that this was making up an identity for him. It was not difficult for Orochimaru to be the fifth Hokage.

What's more, so many people died in the previous ninja wars, so it would be very easy to assign Kabuto an identity as a member of a family who died in Konoha.

In other words, Kabuto will have a pair of nominal parents in the village from now on, even though they are dead.

"I have no desire for Naruto."

"That's because there are very few things you desire in the village. When you have more desire for the village, you will also desire to become Hokage, just like countless people who have grown up in this village."

"Teacher Orochimaru! I will definitely become Hokage!" The hearty voice of Naoki and his bright and sunny smile flashed in his mind.

Then the lively Rope Tree appeared again, acting without authorization. Because of his negligence or being too proud and complacent, he ended up liking this disciple.

Death from the explosion of the detonating talisman, such a scene.

He died very casually, as if it was a joke of fate.

Life is something that can be destroyed so easily.

Whether it is a rope tree or broken.

"Let's go."

Turning around, Kabuto quickly followed. As he walked, he couldn't help but look back. Looking at the leaning commemorative monument, he also saw a young ninja with white hair walking silently in front of the commemorative monument...

After Orochimaru left, the third generation, Nono U, and Kaoru were left here.

Nonoyu looked at the third generation.

Even though Lord Orochimaru told her to take care of A, in her opinion, someone as important as A needs to consult the Third Generation before he knows what to do.

"As Orochimaru said, Tianshan, please take good care of A."

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

Nonoyu responded solemnly, and then, after sorting out her mood, she still walked up to A, who was standing silently, with a solemn heart.

She couldn't help but be serious, after all, she knew that A was a wood escape ninja. As an intelligence expert, she certainly understands what it means to be a wood escape ninja in the village.

That was the power that created the Ninja Village and ended the troubled times. It could even be said to be the symbol of Konoha.

But soon, Nonoyu could see from A's somewhat tense body that he was cautious and uncomfortable.

After all, he's no longer a ninja at heart.

For him who was used to staying at the base, he must have felt at a loss, so he couldn't help but become reserved.

Seeing A's mood, Nonoyu smiled tenderly.

"Can you take off the mask?"

"..."

A silently looked towards Sandai.

In A's opinion, he needs to accept the orders of the Third Hokage.

Sandai nodded and said, "You will listen to Tianshan from now on."

A breathed a sigh of relief.

He got it.

Just think of this woman as his superior.

With this thought, his mood calmed down a lot, so he raised his hand and took off his mask, revealing a face that could be said to be dull and with dull eyes.

"..."

This is a typical root ninja, destroying himself as much as possible and maximizing the tool attributes of the ninja.

As an elite from the roots, Nonoyu has seen too many such ninjas. Most of them are selected orphans who have experienced war.

She saw orphans being made into tools again and again, and those who were unqualified would be cruelly abandoned, or if they were damaged and deemed worthless, they would also be abandoned.

After witnessing such a scene again and again, she didn't want to see such a scene again.

That's why she wanted to adopt these orphans and keep them away from the fate of being used as tools.

The child in front of her was what she was afraid of seeing.

So, she smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Is that so?"

"Yes." Like a subordinate obeying orders, A lowered his head and replied.

"No need to be so formal."

Nonoyu continued to smile and said, "I hope I can see you smiling."

He then raised his head and showed a smile that looked kind, but his eyes could still be seen as dull.

Anyone with a little more sensitivity will know that this is a fake smile.

Sandai also saw such a smile and took a puff of his cigarette.

Gu Gu Gu Gu.

"Are you hungry?" Orochimaru asked Kabuto on the side.

Kabuto lowered his head in embarrassment, then nodded.

"Then I'll take you to get something to eat."

"But Orochimaru is big,"

"Call the teacher."

"...Teacher, don't you have something to do?"

"It doesn't need to be so urgent. A little later will allow them to see their position clearly. I am Hokage. I want to dominate them, not them to dominate me."

"That's it."

Kabuto subconsciously thought about it, Orochimaru-sama...who is his teacher trying to dominate?

Since the teacher emphasizes this point, that is to say, there is a conflict between the 'them' he is going to meet and the Hokage family that the teacher represents, and the top management of Konoha?

The teacher seemed to have said before that he was going to accept another scheduled disciple.

As for being a disciple of the Hokage, this is not a simple identity.

So, are you using your identity as the Hokage's disciple to exchange benefits with 'them'?

Therefore, the purpose of the teacher is to alleviate the conflicts with ‘them’ so as to better dominate ‘them’.

Just when Kabuto was thinking this.

Orochimaru patted his shoulder.

He came back to his senses and looked at the ramen restaurant in front of him.

On the white cloth hanging down to cover it, you can see Ichiraku Ramen.

Orochimaru lifted up the hanging white cloth and went inside.

"Hey, Orochimaru, long time no see."

Kabuto, who followed him in, looked at the uncle who greeted Orochimaru with a smile. He smiled heartily, but looked very greasy.

After Teacher Orochimaru sat down, the uncle put his arm on Orochimaru's shoulder, pushed him with his elbow, and said with a very familiar look.

"Not bad, I actually became Hokage."
