Chapter 177 Rejection
To be honest, for a moment, Kadaki was really moved.
Orochimaru's talent and the bright future he described really impressed Kakugi.
But it was only for a moment.
Kazuoki soon calmed down.
Because Kakugi is very doubtful about what Konoha will be like if Orochimaru becomes Hokage.
Maybe it won't be as beautiful as Orochimaru described.
Orochimaru is essentially a scientist. Although he now also has certain political ambitions, his interest in scientific research is far greater than politics.
He is different from the Second Hokage, whose scientific research is limited to "techniques". As a Hokage, his focus is always on the village.
Orochimaru has always been pursuing the limits of ninjas, and because of the fragility of ninjas, Orochimaru also developed the art of immortality and reincarnation.
Only if you live forever can you have enough time to explore the mysteries of ninjas. Orochimaru's various experiments have been ongoing.
Although Konoha still has a place in Orochimaru's heart now, based on Kazumu's understanding of Orochimaru, it is impossible for him to give up his pursuit of self for Konoha.
In the original work, Orochimaru defected from the village and established an Oto Ninja Village in Tian Country. There was no ninja school in that village. The ninjas were all ninjas brought by Orochimaru, and there were also a large number of orphans.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest. These eight words are perfect for describing Oto Ninja Village.
The lower-level ninjas do have channels for promotion, and the atmosphere in the village is indeed "fair and just."
But the entire village is actually serving Orochimaru's ambitions, using the funds the village obtained from the Taino Kuni daimyo for scientific research, and stamping the abducted ninjas with curse seals to become Orochimaru's spare containers.
If Orochimaru becomes Hokage, what will Konoha look like...
Kazuoki shook his head. He would rather Konoha's politics continued to decay than the village would become like the Oto Ninja Village.
Moreover, why did Orochimaru ask Kakugi to cooperate?
His status as a third-generation disciple and good strength were only one aspect. What Orochimaru valued more was probably Kakugi's reputation.
Although Kazuoki is not yet 12 years old, his reputation as a powerful warrior and genius is already well-known, and the low-level ninjas in the village have begun to call him Kadomu-sama.
Although Kakugi has a reputation, due to his young age, it is impossible for him to compete with Orochimaru for the position of Hokage.
So, at this time, he would be a good helper for those who aspire to become the Hokage.
In Orochimaru's view, if he can get Danzo's support and then his own support, he may not be able to defeat Namikaze Minato and win the position of Hokage.
Only Kadomu knew that Danzo's support was purely nominal, and Danzo only wanted to become Hokage himself.
Although it is not a bad idea for Orochimaru, who has a close relationship with him, to become Hokage, it would be too much to ask Danzo to fully support Orochimaru.
And it is impossible for the third generation to let Orochimaru become Hokage. After all, the third generation only handed over the position of Hokage and did not intend to give up his power.
After much searching, only the young Namikaze Minato was the most suitable. He was a member of the Hokage lineage, with a bright and young temperament, but he was still young and needed help from the older generation.
Orochimaru's idea is, after all, just the moon in the mirror.
Moreover, Kadoki really doesn't want to deal with these nonsense things. What Kadoki wants to be the most is a person like Jiraiya.
He is strong, loves the village, and is not bound to the village.
Therefore, Kakugi could only regretfully say sorry to Orochimaru for his invitation.
"I'm sorry, Orochimaru-sama. I didn't expect a child under 12 years old to be of much help to you. I don't want to get involved in politics. It's too early for me."
Kakugi shook his head at Orochimaru and firmly refused.
Orochimaru looked at Kakumu steadily, and Kakumu looked at him openly.
After a moment, Orochimaru smiled.
"Haha, forget it, just think that we really have no fate."
fate? What is my fate with you? Evil~~~~~~
Kadomu secretly cursed.
Orochimaru sat back in his previous position, looking at the arena below and talking to himself.
"When you awakened the Burning Escape on the battlefield, I wanted to accept you as my disciple. Unfortunately, when I arrived at the Kingdom of Sichuan, you had already followed the team back to the village."
"After I completed my mission and returned to the village, I learned that you had been accepted as a disciple by Sarutobi-sensei. In this way, we did not become masters and apprentices, but became brothers."
Orochimaru tilted his head and smiled, seeming to be very self-deprecating.
"Now, I want to cooperate with you, but you rejected me again. Haha, think about it, it's really a trick of the world."
"Perhaps, if I had arrived in the Country of Sichuan earlier and met you the first time, we would be master and disciple now. What a pity..."
Orochimaru said with a sad face, just like chatting between friends.
However, Kadomu's muscles all over his body tensed up, and his vigilance was instantly heightened.
Kakugi's understanding of Orochimaru is based on his performance in the original work. The current Orochimaru doesn't know what will happen, but the future Orochimaru will definitely not give up if he is rejected.
Orochimaru looked at Kakugi's tense state and laughed with unknown meaning.
"Haha...haha...hahahahaha!"
Orochimaru couldn't stop laughing. Seeing that Kazuoki was still on guard, he laughed louder and louder, becoming more and more nervous.
After a while, Orochimaru finally smiled enough.
Orochimaru ignored Kakumu's wary eyes and looked at Kakumu seriously, his eyes full of regret.
"Kakugi-kun, I told you that you don't need to see the boundaries too clearly. I hope that when you grow up, you can truly understand the meaning of this sentence."
"I look forward to cooperating with you in the future. Goodbye, Kadoki-kun."
After saying that, Orochimaru smiled evilly at Kakugi and formed a seal with one hand.
"Peng!"
A burst of white smoke rose, and Orochimaru disappeared.
Shadow clone?
when!
No, it was the shadow clone from the beginning!
A drop of cold sweat slipped from Jiao Mu's forehead.
Although it is normal for shadow clones to be difficult to see through, especially those released by a strong man like Orochimaru.
But why did he think that this was Orochimaru's true form from the very beginning?
This Orochimaru, before leaving, left a nice warning, not too big or too small.
Facing Orochimaru's tense vigilance, Kakumu seemed to have become a joke.
Although Orochimaru had no ill intentions, using his shadow clone to watch the game was not a plan to target him in advance.
But what he did before leaving still made Kazuoki feel extremely embarrassed.
Still too weak!
Kadomu reluctantly punched the tree, causing the leaves to rustle.
At this moment, Kakugi no longer had the intention to continue watching the competition. The genin he was familiar with also passed the competition.
go home! Keep practicing! Must become stronger!
Kakugi secretly made up his mind.
