Chapter 418

After a while.

In the frontline camp of the Country of Grass.

After receiving Sarutobi's instructions, Orochimaru chuckled at Maple and said, "It seems that Sarutobi -sensei has already believed me."

Kaede spread his hands and said, "Possessing such strength before the age of eleven would indeed be suspected of being the source of his power. Many thanks to Orochimaru-Sensei for helping to explain and cover things up."

In the information provided by Orochimaru to Sarutobi, it was some kind of Kekkei limit to increase speed, but it was not specified that it was the power of time.

Actually, Maple didn't really care that his time acceleration ability was exposed. He only needed to hide his time reversal ability. That was because he could rely on this ability to deal with almost any unexpected event.

Orochimaru's deliberate concealment is his own subjective behavior.

Kaede can roughly guess why Orochimaru would hide it for him. Maybe Orochimaru doesn't mind being honest with Sarutobi, but Orochimaru definitely doesn't want his ability to be known by Danzo.

Because Orochimaru and Danzo have always been working together in secret, Orochimaru is probably well aware of what Danzo would do if he knew about his ability, so he took precautions.

"Hmmm, if you don't study the body to a certain extent, it would be difficult to directly associate your ability to manipulate time from your performance … Although it is said that the speed type Kekkei limit can be used to cover up your ability, in fact, even if your ability is exposed, the enemy will still not be able to find a way to restrain it. It's just that if some people know about it, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

Orochimaru chuckled.

After being in contact with Kaede for such a long time, Kuroto knows that Kaede's thinking is far from that of an 11-year-old boy, but rather that of a cautious, mature, and rational ninja, so he subtly pointed out some things and wasn't worried that Kaede wouldn't understand.

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Kaede couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If Orochimaru simply wanted to protect his disciple and didn't have any thoughts about his Kekkei limit, then such words would really be quite touching.

These words couldn't be any more obvious.

There is actually no difference between accelerating time and increasing the speed of Kekkei limit, it's nothing more than a change in speed. In other words, if the enemy has a way to deal with speed type ninjas, then they can also deal with Kaede, so whether or not this ability is exposed doesn't matter much.

The key is that after this ability is exposed, it will cause unnecessary trouble, and this unnecessary trouble obviously refers to Shimura Danzo.

"Shimura Danzo-Sama has always been very interested in me."

Kaede chuckled and simply said, "When I revealed some of my talent, Shimura Danzo-Sama tried to let me join 'Root'."

With his current strength and status, he doesn't need to hide too much in front of Orochimaru, because he already has enough ability to touch the highest level of power in the village, not to mention that Orochimaru is now on the same side as him.

Orochimaru snorted and said, "Danzo has always been interested in the young geniuses of the village, but what he values most is profit, and he doesn't care about any rules. If you had shown your talent early, maybe he would have succeeded between you and Kakashi." Orochimaru shook his head and said.

"That's what I think too."

Kaede shrugged and said, "He's probably still thinking about me, but he won't act rashly in times of war."

Orochimaru smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry too much about it, Yuan Fei Sensei won't let him act at will, especially against you … But the village's current system is a bit rotten, and some reforms are needed — if I can become Yondaime Hokage."

With this incident, Orochimaru also knows that his disciple Kaede is completely on the same line as him, at least until the power of Konoha is reshuffled, so he doesn't mind talking about his opinion on the village.

"I will support you, Sensei."

Kaede nodded lightly.

Kaede has nothing to do with Minato, and in the future when the two compete for the position of Yondaime Hokage, he will definitely stand on Orochimaru's side.

No matter how you look at it, Orochimaru is capable of becoming Yondaime Hokage. In this period … even during the Chunin Exam period, Orochimaru still has feelings for Konoha, otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at Konoha with tears in his eyes when he attacked Sarutobi.

Capturing Konoha's ninjas for human experiments was also after Sarutobi chose Minato as Yondaime Hokage, and he was completely disappointed with Konoha.

Moreover, Minato's methods were too gentle.

In the original work, Minato became Yondaime Hokage, but in fact, it doesn't have much to do with his achievements, because Orochimaru's achievements from World War II to World War III are not much worse than Minato's, and in terms of experience and qualifications, Orochimaru is also far superior to Minato.

The reason why Minato can become Yondaime Hokage is actually very simple, that is, compared to Orochimaru, Minato is easier to control, and he won't threaten the position of Konoha's elder group.

If Orochimaru became Yondaime Hokage, Orochimaru will not obediently hand over so much power to Danzo, Zorin Koharu, and Mito Homura.

Because of this.

Konoha's elders will collectively support Minato.

After all, Konoha's system is already in shambles, and this can be clearly seen from the handling of the Uchiha Clan's annihilation and so on.

Feng doesn't really want to leave Konoha, because there are many people he is familiar with in Konoha, and since he doesn't want to leave, then his existence will definitely threaten the position of Konoha's elders. Either he will be pushed out, or he will become a Hokage and clean up Konoha!

Becoming Orochimaru's disciple was an accident.

Feng's original plan was to become a Hokage himself, and after cleaning up Konoha, he will replace the position of Hokage to Kakashi and retire early.

'I wonder what will happen if Orochimaru becomes Yondaime Hokage.'

Feng murmured in his heart, and couldn't help but smile lightly.

It is estimated that on the one hand, he will have to deal with the rotten elder group, and on the other hand, he will have to deal with the extremely busy political affairs of Konoha, and finally, he will have to coordinate the relationship between the major families.

With such a big pile of things to do, maybe Orochimaru won't have time to study ninjutsu such as Edo Tensei and Undead Reincarnation, and he will directly work as Yondaime Hokage until he retires.

"Hehehe, with your support, I'm more confident."

Orochimaru's mouth slightly raised.

He knows very well how difficult it will be for him to become the Hokage, and the elders of Konoha will probably collectively oppose it. The only advantage is that neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade is interested in the position of Hokage, but now Jiraiya's disciple Minato is being trained as the heir.

Without enough influence, without enough strength, if he wants to succeed as Yondaime Hokage, he can only rely on Sarutobi's opinion, and he must have Sarutobi's full support to have any hope of succeeding, even if he remains neutral.

Now with Feng's support, it is equivalent to having a strong helper.

There really is some hope.
