Chapter 288: A retired old man probably wouldn’t care if his reputation got worse!

"Have you heard? Orochimaru is back."

"Which Orochimaru?"

"You are stupid, he is Orochimaru who is one of the three ninjas together with Hokage! A traitor to the village!

I was brought back by the Hokage Assistant himself and went to the Hokage's office."

"Was he captured by the Assistant Master?"

Hiko and Orochimaru walked into Konoha with great fanfare, not trying to hide anything from anyone.

Therefore, the news that Orochimaru returned to Konoha spread quickly and became more and more widespread.

Yan can actually bring Orochimaru back?

I have to say that when the news spread, many people were shocked.

Everyone was curious about how Yan found Orochimaru and how he convinced him.

The way he came back was also very special. He just walked back in a swagger without any precautions.

It doesn't feel like capturing a traitor, but more like bringing back a ninja who has been away from the village for too long.

When everyone was confused, the Hokage office building released the latest announcement, and the content of the announcement was all about Orochimaru.

The apology letter written by Orochimaru was also printed out and posted on the bulletin board.

"It turns out that Orochimaru did so many things that harmed the interests of the village because he was forced by Danzo."

"Danzo is really not a good guy!!!"

"Nonsense, don't you think about it? Orochimaru is the disciple of the Sandaime Hokage. How dare ordinary people treat him like this?

This Shimura Danzo seized on Orochimaru's desire to conduct experiments, and then gradually attracted him, pulled him to his side, and forced him."

Just as Yan said, Danzo is already dead, and there is absolutely no problem in putting the blame on a dead person.

The Third Hokage also memorized some of them, but does it matter?

As a retired old man, you shouldn’t mind having a worse reputation!

And since you are not in the village, I let you take the blame. What's wrong with that?

By the time you return to Konoha, everything will be a foregone conclusion, and there's no point in you being unhappy.

Orochimaru played a pitiful role, and with the guarantee from the Hokage's office building, the villagers of Konoha finally believed that Orochimaru had turned over a new leaf and returned to Konoha.

As for the dark experiments you mentioned Orochimaru did, wasn't that forced by Danzo?

what?

Orochimaru used the people of the village for experiments?

The person was captured by Danzo, who asked to do this, and Orochimaru had no right to refuse.

When the Third Hokage returns to the village and sees Orochimaru's review, he will probably be so angry that his face turns blue.

Unfortunately, he is not in Konoha.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with what Orochimaru wrote in his self-review.

The materials and even people used for the experiments were all captured by Danzo's Root ninjas.

Orochimaru was only in charge of the laboratory, and this alone was enough to put the blame on Danzo.

Since he is the one who caused the tragedy, he cannot rest in peace even if he dies, and he will continue to bear the blame.

The villagers' reaction to Orochimaru's return changed from disbelief at first, to sympathy for him, and then to acceptance.

After all, he is one of the three ninjas and has made countless contributions to the village. We can't let him be a sinner for the rest of his life just because of Danzo, right?

Besides, the Hokage Office Building has guaranteed that Orochimaru has completely turned over a new leaf and will not conduct any dark experiments anymore, so what is there to worry about?

On the contrary, he should be happy, after all, the village has gained a powerful ninja.

After Yan sent some people out to guide public opinion, everything was moving in a positive direction.

Orochimaru's laboratory was set up quickly.

There happened to be quite a few suitable places, plus a large amount of equipment seized from the Root, all of which could be used by Orochimaru.

After adding the necessary items, a brand new laboratory is ready.

"Yes, although Danzo is not a very good person, his vision in selecting equipment is still good. These things are enough, right?"

In the laboratory, Yan turned around a few times with his hands behind his back and nodded with satisfaction.

A lot of equipment confiscated from the base had been gathering dust in the warehouse, but now they are finally put to use.

I have to say that Danzo is really awesome. He spends the village's money without any regrets.

All the instruments and equipment were the best ones. Even after several years, they are still top-notch products, enough to satisfy Orochimaru in conducting various experiments.

The laboratories that Orochimaru built outside the village don't have so many high-end equipment.

The main reason is that he doesn't have that much money to squander.

Seeing these equipment, Orochimaru's eyes lit up.

With these things, it will become easier for him to do experiments.

"Kakashi, I'm giving you a choice now. You can either ask Orochimaru to help you get an eye that best suits you.

Or I can find a three-magatama Sharingan from Uchiha for you to replace it with."

Yan is not a stingy person. If Kakashi is still used to fighting with the Sharingan, it would be no big deal to transplant a Sharingan for him.

The Uchiha have a lot of these things in their collection. As an elder of the Uchiha, there will be no problem for him to take one out and transplant it to Kakashi.

"Sharingan?"

Kakashi touched his eyes, which were still covered by the forehead protector, thought about it, and shook his head:

"Assistant-sama, I don't need a Sharingan, I just want an eye that suits me."

Kakashi thought about it carefully during this period, and without the burden of the Sharingan, he focused his mind on Hatake swordsmanship. He felt that his swordsmanship was stronger and the duration of the battle was extended.

The Hatake clan has little chakra to begin with, and they also have the Sharingan as a burden, which means Kakashi has to count on his fingers during battles to see how much chakra he has left.

Now this predicament has been improved.

Without the burden of the Sharingan, he can fight as he pleases.

Although the amount of chakra is still limited, at least I don't need to calculate it by pinching my fingers.

"Well, the swordsmanship of the Hatake clan has been carried forward by your father. I believe you will not be any worse than your father. I am very optimistic about you."

Patting Kakashi's shoulder, Yan turned back and said to Orochimaru:

"Orochimaru, are you okay?"

"Leave it to me, but it will take some time."

Orochimaru smiled confidently.

If it was just a random eye transplant, he could do the surgery on Kakashi right away.

If we want to train him again, it will take some time to ensure that he is compatible with Kakashi.

"Well Kakashi, please lie down on the operating table. I need to take something from you."

"......"
