Does he really think that he will compete with Minato Namikaze for the position of the Fourth Hokage?
But now I really need to stay away from the center of power like that idiot.
His staying in the ninja village during this period will also make it difficult for the teacher.
It would be better to just go out for a while and come back to witness when the Fourth Hokage is about to take over.
At that time, Minato Namikaze had already become the dominant force, and his appearance would not have any further impact on the succession of the Fourth Generation.
This is the little friendship he has left for Sarutobi Hiruzen, the old man who is like a teacher and a father to him.
As for the destination...the Land of Rain.
So the next day he submitted a reconnaissance mission application to the Third Hokage, stating that he was going out to explore the intelligence at the junction of the three countries, and that he would return before the Fourth Hokage took over to reassure his teacher.
This very respectable way of retreating made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel very happy, and even a sense of guilt welled up in his heart. He was indeed a little too ruthless.
Orochimaru left without waiting for him to express his feelings. Hiruzen knew that this disciple still had some resentment in his heart.
Alas~~ It would have been great if you hadn’t gotten involved with that guy Danzo. The Kage of Konoha cannot be someone who goes towards darkness.
As soon as I went out, I received a secret letter.
He arrived as promised, and it turned out to be that old villain Danzo.
"Tsk tsk, Orochimaru, I didn't expect you to have feelings in your heart, willing to give Sarutobi so much respect."
"Elder Danzo is very respectable. He didn't even come out to compete for the position of Hokage. It seems that the mistake you made in the Land of Rain is really huge. Oh, no, you are no longer an elder now."
This sentence made Danzo's face turn pale. This was the second greatest pain he had ever endured in his life. The first was when Tobirama passed the position of Hokage to Hiruzen.
snort!
Danzo said with a look on his face as if he was constipated.
"The new laboratory location has been selected and equipment is being added. We can start human trials at any time."
"Use Sand Ninja? The place is heavily guarded by patrolmen. How many people can the Root send to me from the outside world right now?"
"Why do we have to use outsiders? It's difficult to catch those wandering ninjas now.
Aren't there some ninjas in the village? And the bloodstains you want to study are the most in Konoha."
……
Danzo had been tempting Orochimaru to attack his fellow villagers just to control this cold man. As long as he had the handle, he could naturally control this guy at will.
It was just that Orochimaru had not agreed because it was obviously more convenient to study foreign ninjas during the war. Now was the best time for the other party to fall into darkness.
Danzo, who thought he was very experienced in playing with people's hearts, seized this opportunity to launch an attack, intending to drag this cold gentleman into darkness completely, leaving Sarutobi Hiruzen feeling heartbroken but helpless.
Orochimaru knew exactly what the other party was thinking, but he was in no mood to talk any more with such a power-hungry idiot.
"Let's talk about it when I get back."
After saying this, the earth clones scattered on the ground.
Danzo snorted coldly and retreated into the darkness.
This junior was becoming less and less respectful of him. He was even more upset when he thought that even that brat Minato Namikaze could step on his head soon.
After leaving Konoha, Orochimaru felt relaxed.
His attention was diverted too much by the secular world and he lost the meaning and determination of studying the essence of ninjutsu.
While walking in the mountains and forests, I finally took my dream one step closer. As for the position of Hokage... Who is without regrets in life?
First, go to the Land of Rain to investigate the information of the mysterious organization that caused trouble to even that old bastard Danzo.
That guy is not good at doing serious work, but he is very strong in conspiracy and the roots.
There might be some interesting information here.
Orochimaru is still very confident in his ability to escape. He can also collect some special ninjutsu or bloodstains on the way and bring them back for research.
A week later, in the Rain Country.
Orochimaru, hiding in a tree, looked at the thriving Rain Country with some confusion. Was this the place where three wars had taken place that he had visited before?
Barren land, displaced humans, and the smell of decay are rooted in this country. This is the Land of Rain.
"interesting."
Xiaobai sensed the specially marked chakra target and stepped into the country, feeling sorry for the other party. Why bother stepping into hell?
Chapter 6 Orochimaru's Excitement
After entering the Rain Country, Orochimaru has been wandering around the periphery.
It's not that he doesn't have confidence in his own strength. The unique software transformation, earth escape, forbidden techniques and other ninjutsu all have special bonuses in protecting his own life.
Even his perception abilities developed based on cold-blooded animals and various props can ensure that he can escape from most traps. This is the confidence of a master who has experienced war.
The death of Ryuma Aburame at the Root certainly makes people dare not underestimate this place, but the upper limit of that kind of tamed dog has been locked, and Orochimaru is still very calm.
Whether it is the battlefield of the four countries or the S-level missions carried out in secret, he is an unparalleled genius with 100% success rate.
Originally, he should have sneaked into the Rain Village directly as he did before to obtain the necessary information.
But the atmosphere in the Rain Country was too weird, and he needed to investigate more on the periphery.
This kind of heated feeling shouldn't exist in this small place.
The Rain Village announced that it would not accept any communication, and the daimyo of the Rain Country also placed roadblocks at various intersections.
This time, the country is closed to the outside world not to protect itself, but to hide something.
For example, the plain after being reclaimed by ninjutsu looks very shocking. Although there is not much such land, Orochimaru can still infer that there was a small hill here before.
"You regard ninjutsu as an ordinary tool? Then the status of ninjas in this country may not be very high."
"People won't be in awe of a class that would cast ninjutsu in the fields to level the land."
"interesting."
“Even the drainage channels are planned in a unified way?”
The rainfall in the Rain Country is indeed exaggerated. It is either cloudy or rainy.
Too much rainfall in a short period of time will wash away the drainage ditches dug by the tenant farmers themselves, so the ninjas of Akatsuki are trying to change this situation.
Orochimaru felt awkward watching many people deepening the drainage ditch under the command of some ninjas.
The way these ninjas are gesticulating with the blueprints is really inappropriate.
The next thing that attracted his attention was the new farm implements.
It is very simple to pick up leaks. But this very simple structure has increased the efficiency of farming and digging by more than three times.
This is a remarkable invention. Orochimaru would not despise these because of their crude inventions. The meaning behind the agricultural tools is worth pondering.
Although the ninja world has done some research on electricity and electromagnetic force, televisions, refrigerators, and so on.
However, the most basic agriculture is still very primitive, and its development seems to be suppressed by some force.
This breakthrough from 0 to 1 is a kind of ideological liberation.
Not to mention the electric poles that are still erected in the fields.
What a scary country! Orochimaru didn't know what the significance of the Second Industrial Revolution was, but he could feel that this country was desperately catching up with the great powers.
You have to know that the application of electricity is only necessary in a city of the level of Konoha Village, and it is also a symbol of national strength.
Where does the funding for the Rain Country come from, and who can arrange and organize people from all over the country to participate in these projects.
Who can decide the distribution of power and resources? It seems that this place is slowly turning into another country that does not belong to this continent.
Too many unsolved mysteries made this cold man excited.
After using the advanced transformation technique to sneak into the small farm, what he saw was still a scene completely different from that in the Land of Fire.
The vassals belonging to the nobles disappeared, and it turned out that this place was also managed by ninjas.
A ninja from Akatsuki.
An organization that was very active in the Rain Country during the Third Ninja World War and was quite powerful.
There is a record of fighting with ninjas from the Three Kingdoms. Teacher Yuan Fei also once lamented that in addition to Hanzo, a new generation of successors has now appeared in the Rain Kingdom.
I didn't expect that they have now extended their power to the lower levels of the Rain Country. This is different from what a ninja organization would do.
Such a change made Orochimaru interested. Was it his unparalleled ambition?
The change triggered this person's habit, and he found moving things very interesting.
And he also has a little bit of responsibility as a Konoha ninja, so he still wants to observe the changes in the Rain Country more.
After tracking for a day or two, he discovered a term that was often mentioned among the ninjas in the villages, which was the second land rights reform.
It seemed that when the entire ninja world was fighting to the point of their brains popping out, there was a land distribution within the border area of the three countries.
Ok?
Is the Land of Rain so magical? During the Second Ninja World War, even with the protection of Hanzo the Salamander, it was turned into a mess.
So some unknown changes must have happened here in the past two years.
Because from the intelligence we know that all the changes started two years ago, it's really mysterious.
As for the secondary distribution of the land, it is very simple. The ninja will first level and measure the land, and then distribute it according to the population reported by the settlement.
It not only controls the population and achieves secondary distribution of resources, but also attracts refugees to come down the mountain to farm.
This move basically eliminated banditry in most areas of the Rain Country.
And because the fields were contracted to these tenants, they delivered grain in proportion to the annual taxes.
It may seem like a lot at first glance, but by eliminating the exploitation at each level, you actually have more in your hands.
A simple thought will show how much this policy will help the Rain Country in terms of food production.
I am afraid that this country will soon have a large output of grain and a large amount of mineral refining products, and its population will explode, and its comprehensive national strength will also increase.
"Interesting." This is a word that Orochimaru has said countless times during this period.
While being shocked by this land distribution model, he also saw the other party's change in thinking, a glimpse of the transformation that transcended the ninja world.
The Akatsuki organization is really courageous and they are really not afraid of death.
The strange feeling that this country would be razed to the ground in an instant just by sending one letter from him struck Orochimaru's heart.
But inexplicably, I did not quit at this moment, but wanted to take another look at this country.
So he continued to wander throughout the Rain Country.
We have seen not only basic changes in farmland, fisheries, and mining, but in fact all resources related to people's livelihood have been redistributed, and what has been highlighted is fairness.
The Rain Country - Common people. The officials and ninjas in the middle are all part of the administrative link, not a class.
What was even more outrageous was that he actually saw a large number of schools being built.
It is not a ninja school like the one in Konoha Village, but a general education school for ordinary people.
After Akatsuki gained full control of resource allocation, it also simultaneously carried out grassroots education work.
The education system that was originally promoted only in the camps was promoted nationwide.
Basic literacy education and basic natural science education have been put on the agenda.
Xiaonan has been working 24 hours a day. There was even a period of time when he wore a white coat to work overtime all night to make copies.
Chapter 7 Scientists also need their peers
It is obvious that there is no regular publishing house in the Rain Country at present, and we dare not look for publishing houses outside, so Xiaonan can only trouble herself temporarily.
Uh...it’s hard work for Xiaobai too.
After possessing the body, you can set up the program to activate the copying technique, which is really useful.
Noah regretted not asking for a few more White Zetsu. Once he gets Hashirama's cells, he can ask Nagato to do some research and make a few more.
