Naruto: Minato Namikaze, born evil

Chapter 53 Orochimaru

As Orochimaru left the Hokage Building, a playful smile played on his lips.

Ever since he witnessed Minato's talent, he had been restless and uneasy, as if a wild beast was about to break free of its cage.

He did not deceive Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He has no attachment to the position of Hokage now.

Because he saw an impossible possibility in Minato.

That is the transformation of a more powerful, superior, and higher level of life; it is a glimmer of hope for immortality!

This restlessness reached its peak after learning that Minato had killed Danzo!

Is Danzo some kind of weakling?

No!

Under normal circumstances, a standard Konoha Jonin should master at least one or two chakra nature transformations and have enough chakra to release 3 to 4 A-rank ninjutsu.

He has now mastered four chakra nature transformations, and is about to complete his training in the Wind Release technique. His strength is definitely among the elite of the Jonin.

But Orochimaru knew very well that, at least for now, he was no match for Danzo.

Although he always felt that Danzo was short-sighted and narrow-minded, Danzo was indeed stronger than him in terms of combat experience and ninjutsu skills.

But Danzo, despite all this, was killed!

This may seem absurd, but Orochimaru knew in his heart that Danzo did not die from a lack of experience or ninjutsu, but was crushed by a higher level of power...

He had experienced the laser beams of the Watergate, a speed that was simply beyond human reaction time.

But that alone shouldn't be enough to kill Danzo; at least he could think of more than one way to deal with him.

Danzo's death shows that he was unable to control, attack, or interfere with Minato, and he couldn't even escape.

This also indirectly shows that Watergate must have established an absolute speed advantage.

If he himself could achieve the speed of a laser, or even transform into light...

Ha ha……

This is so interesting!

They arrived at Tsunade's house, just as Minato had returned.

"Orochimaru-senpai," Minato nodded politely.

"It's been a long time, Minato-kun."

Orochimaru smiled faintly: "Would it be convenient for us to chat?"

"With me?"

Minato was somewhat surprised; he had thought Orochimaru had come to see Tsunade: "Yes, please come in, senpai."

Orochimaru said meaningfully, "What I mean is, let's talk alone about what happened last night..."

"Okay, fine."

Minato didn't hesitate and nodded. He was also curious about what the other party wanted to see him about.

After a while, the two appeared at the barbecue restaurant, where Orochimaru had booked a private room.

After all the dishes were served, he leisurely poured a glass of juice for Minato, and then poured one for himself as well.

The laws of the Land of Fire stipulate that one must be at least twenty years old to drink alcohol. Orochimaru is nineteen this year, not yet old enough to drink, but at eighteen, he is already legally eligible to marry…

"I never thought that Danzo would end up dying at Minato's hands."

Looking at Minato's handsome face, Orochimaru said with a hint of emotion, "It seems that Minato-kun held back a lot during our previous sparring session."

"A ninja's battle is a battle of intelligence. There is no technique in this world that is absolutely unbreakable. This is content from the first-year textbook. I am just relying on the advantage of my bloodline limit," Minato said modestly.

"Hehe, how modest of you."

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, I should thank you. After Danzo died, I took over his work, which was of great help to me."

"Then congratulations, senior."

Minato's arrival was not unexpected; Orochimaru taking over Root was a perfect fit for his profession.

In terms of ability and shrewdness, this guy is far superior to the likes of Danzo; at least Orochimaru doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve…

Not only Orochimaru looked down on Danzo, but Minato did as well.

Or perhaps he looks down on such fools who lack self-awareness yet are self-righteous.

It's easy to see from Danzo's behavior in the original work that he was completely immersed in a world constructed by his self-perception and was extremely self-centered.

Anything that is detrimental to oneself is also detrimental to Konoha.

He firmly believed that only he was worthy of the position of Hokage and that only he could lead Konoha to glory.

This can't be explained away by simply saying he's sick...

Because such people lack even the most basic comprehension skills; they can only have normal conversations, but they will never accept information passed on to them from the outside world, and only believe in the truth they construct themselves.

In modern society, this kind of person is generally called a "fool".

This is why Minato killed Danzo without saying a word.

Orochimaru, however, was different. Although he was obsessed with immortality, his rationality as a researcher made him understand the importance of self-examination.

He is very clear about what he is doing, what he wants, and he is able to confront his desires.

Moreover, if the other party is not stupid, they will be very honest and will not try to be clever by resorting to convoluted tactics. As people often say, talking to smart people is easy.

"So, your contact with me wasn't just to express your gratitude, was it?"

"Hehe, you're right."

Orochimaru licked his lips: "To be honest, ever since I witnessed Minato-kun's bloodline limit, I've been filled with a desire to explore Minato-kun's body..."

This guy is too honest!

Shuimen immediately got goosebumps and made a move to pull open the door of the private room: "I remember the police department is nearby."

Orochimaru wasn't annoyed by this and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm not so perverted as to have those kinds of thoughts about a five-year-old."

"Achoo!"

At that moment, Tsunade, who was at home, sneezed.

"I'm referring to Minato's power."

Orochimaru's tone held a hint of seduction: "Aren't you curious about the source of your power?"

Not curious at all!

Minato knew all too well where his power came from, but he couldn't tell Orochimaru that.

But he had no choice but to go along with him, because with Orochimaru's abilities, it was no joke that he was leading the core technology of the ninja world.

Given the current timeframe, if the connection between bloodlines could be pointed out to the other party, Orochimaru might have already evolved into the Otsutsuki clan by the time Kaguya breaks free of her seal.

Minato didn't answer immediately. He turned the roasting meat on the grill and said softly, "If I may, I'd like to ask, what was your purpose in telling me all this, senpai?"

"What's the purpose...?"

Orochimaru gave Minato a deep look.

He felt that his answer might influence Shuimen's choice.

Should we find some high-sounding reasons, or tell the truth honestly?

Orochimaru didn't think about it for long. Minato was just young, but he wasn't stupid and wasn't that easy to fool. Besides, children have an intuition for lies.

in addition…

Deep down, he also longed for someone to understand him.

Minato, who also lost his parents, may have had similar traits to himself.

"Don't you think human life is far too fragile, Minato-kun?"
