Naruto: I am the villain

"Master Orochimaru! Master Hatake!"

Hatake Sakuki and Orochimaru, who had been waiting for a long time in the dense forest around Konoha, greeted them in surprise.

The sudden appearance of the two did not surprise him, because he had seen Hatake Sakuki's space-time ninjutsu long ago, so he was not surprised by it.

What surprised him was that Hatake Sakuki, who went to meet Orochimaru, was injured!

His face was pale, there was no blood on his face, and even the clothes on his body were torn, as if he had been seriously injured, but Orochimaru who broke out from Konoha seemed to be fine.

"Master Hatake, are you injured? I am a medical ninja, and I can heal you now!"

"Let's talk about it when we get back to Yinyin Village!"

Hatake Sakuki was supported by Orochimaru, at this moment he looked weak.

"We are still on the border of Konoha. Namikaze Minato knows that my space ninjutsu can't teleport very far. He will definitely send people to hunt us down. The risk of healing here is too great!"

"Shuo Hui, can you still hold on?"

Orochimaru glanced at the shocking wound on Hatake Sakuki's back, even a ninja who had experienced many battles like him couldn't help but feel a burst of shock.

Ordinary people would have died long ago with such an injury, but Hatake Sakuki acted like a normal person, and was even able to use advanced ninjutsu like "Kamui" before.

"Hehe. Orochimaru, you care so much about me, it makes me uncomfortable! In my memory, you are not such a person!"

Hatake Sakuki braced himself up, and the wound behind him healed a little.

"Don't be a mother-in-law, let's go first!"

"Okay. Dou, let's go! Pay attention to see if there is a 'tail' following us!"

"Yes! Lord Orochimaru!"

Pushing the glasses to the bridge of the nose, he turned his head meaningfully and smiled behind him.

"Don't worry, with my scouting ability, no one in Konoha can find us!"

After saying that, the three figures quickly swept up and ran towards the direction of Yinyin Village
a few days later.

Naturally, the explosive news that Orochimaru, one of the "Konoha Sannin" had defected, could not be concealed.

Soon, the news spread like wildfire. Not only Konoha, but the whole ninja world knew that Orochimaru and Konoha had rebelled against Hatake Sakuki. While successfully defecting, they also brought Konoha suffered heavy casualties, and even wounded the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

For a while, Konoha's prestige in the ninja world was greatly reduced due to successive changes, and even the status of the first ninja village began to be in jeopardy.

Therefore, Konoha's ninjas hated the name Sakuki Hatake more and more. Before he knew it, Sakuki Hatake became Konoha's "public enemy".
Konoha Hospital.

After a busy day, Minato Namikaze walked into the hospital tiredly, his face was clouded with gloom, not as sunny as before.

In recent days, Konoha has a lot of miscellaneous things. He not only has to deal with the aftermath of the ninja who died in battle a few days ago, but also pays close attention to the diplomatic situation between Konoha and several other restless villages.

However, his predecessor, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was still in the hospital for serious injuries, and no one could share these trivial matters for him, so Namikaze Minato inevitably seemed a little bit overwhelmed.

Sighing, Namikaze Minato lowered his head and walked forward in silence, even the tone of the medical ninja who greeted him was much lower than usual.

After walking for a while, Minato Namakaze finally stopped in front of a ward.

Bang bang bang!
He knocked on the door lightly, and asked cautiously: "My lord, are you resting? I'm here to see you."

"Is it a water gate? Come in!"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice in the ward, Minakame took a deep breath, hid his lonely expression before, and walked into the ward pretending to be relaxed.

"Minato, there's no need for you to come to see me every day. Although I'm a little old, I haven't gotten hurt enough to make a fuss."

"My lord, the injury you suffered this time is not small!"

Namikaze Minato glanced sadly at Sarutobi Hiruzen's gauze-wrapped right hand, and couldn't help but lower his voice: "Your palm was completely crushed by that guy, I'm afraid you need to recuperate for a while."

"Hahaha Minato, why are you so lost? I just hurt my hand, not the whole hand."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi leaned on the bed, pretending to be relaxed and said: "I have suffered this kind of injury before, and it will be fine once it heals, and it will not affect my strength, so you don't have to worry about me!"

"I understand three generations of adults"

Minato Namikaze sat in front of Hiruzaru Sarutobi, but the trace of loneliness in his eyes did not escape Hiruzaru Sarutobi's eyes.

"Minato, you don't seem to be in a good state of mind, are you too tired recently?"

"I'm just fine"

The two figures suddenly appeared in Namikaze Minato's mind, and the feeling of loneliness in his eyes became stronger immediately.

"It's just Kiyoka and Kakashi. They haven't been doing well lately"

"What happened to them? Is it because of Sakuki Hatake?"

"Yes," Minato Namikaze nodded, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart, "They were all hit by Sakuki Hatake. Ever since that battle ended, Kakashi went out to perform missions like crazy , and then practice, desperately trying to improve his own strength, but Qinghua... Qinghua just locked himself in the mansion of the Hyuga clan and did not want to associate with anyone."

After listening to Kakashi's words, Hiruzaru Sarutobi couldn't help lowering his head, and there was a trace of despair in his eyes.

But this trace of despair was quickly suppressed by Hiruzen Sarutobi, he raised his head, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.

"What about you, Minato? Did you get hit by him too?"

"I"

Namikaze Minato lowered his head silently, without saying a word, unable to support the disguise just now.

"Although I don't want to admit it. But I was indeed hit by that guy. Although my strength has been improving rapidly, every time I fight against Hatake Sakuki, he can always firmly overwhelm me, let me show me Less than a little beyond his hopes."

"Minato, these words don't seem to come from your mouth."

"Well, three generations of adults?"

Namikaze Minato raised his head, just in time to meet Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes at this moment.

His eyes were full of something called "hope".

"Minato, you should know that at the beginning, the candidate for the Fourth Hokage in my mind was Sakuki Hatake and not you, right?"

"Yes. You. Why are you saying this now?"

"His talent is even better than yours, and his battle against Konoha is also greater than yours, but I want to say that even if he doesn't defect, I will choose you as the Fourth Hokage, do you believe it?"

"what?"

Namikaze Minato's eyes widened, and he subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Because... I have seen a lot of faith in you that can only be possessed by a Hokage!"
