Hokage: My destiny is me, I am Hokage

tower!tower!tower!

The dark mine cave should have been silent, but at this moment, footsteps suddenly came.

As the line of sight narrowed, four figures appeared in the mine.

One of them stretched out his palm, and orange-red flames continued to burn in his palm, illuminating the entire space.

"Ruri-san's fire attribute chakra control is very good."

Orochimaru's evil face became even more unpredictable under the light of the flames, but when his eyes looked at the flames in Liuli's palm, he still showed a hint of admiration.

These four people were Orochimaru's team who had cleaned up the traces of the battle at the mine entrance.

After hearing Orochimaru's words, Liuli's face remained cold, but she still responded modestly.

"Teacher Orochimaru, thank you. My Fire Style is still lagging behind Orochimaru's Snake Style."

After hearing Uchiha Ruri's words, Orochimaru's expression was undeniable, and his eyes returned to looking greedily into the depths of the mine.

On the side, Yota Mikado looked calmly at the greed in Teacher Orochimaru's eyes. He knew that Teacher Orochimaru was destined not to get his wish this time.

After all, when he and others provided information to Suna Ninja and Orochimaru, they had let Dawn dig in the veins of the Greel Stone for a long time, and the Greel in the veins had already died.

Coupled with the Suna Ninja's excavations during this period, there will definitely not be too many Greel Stones falling into the hands of Konoha or Orochimaru.

While Mikado Yota was thinking, the four of them soon came to the end of the vein where the Sand Ninja was mining the Grayl Stone.

Orochimaru looked at the green ore flashing on the mine wall and showed a satisfied smile. Even the cold smile that often hung on his face became gentler.

Immediately afterwards, Orochimaru pressed his hands on the ground and sensed the number of Gray's Stones in the veins through earth escape ninjutsu.

Such earth escape ninjutsu is not too difficult for a strong man like Orochimaru.

However, as time passed, the smile on Orochimaru's face became colder and colder. Orochimaru stood up and slowly glanced at Mikado Yota and the others.

At this time, Qianna, looking at Orochimaru's expression, said in a gentle tone

"What did Orochimaru-sensei find?"

"Hey, I just didn't expect that teacher, I would be plotted to this extent one day."

The greed in Orochimaru's eyes began to disappear, as if he had regained his usual calmness.

After hearing Orochimaru's words, Mikado Yota knew what Orochimaru should have guessed, but Mikado Yota still frowned and asked

"Teacher Orochimaru, what's going on? What's the plan?"

"Yangtai-kun, there are very few Gray's Stones in this vein. Not to mention the various experiments that the teacher wants to conduct, even recreating the Wood Release may not be successful. As for becoming a strategic resource for the village, , it is even more impossible for all ninjas to use it."

"Is there so little Gray's Stone in this vein? Is it because the Sand Ninja have over-exploited it, or is the vein resource not too rich in the first place?"

After Mikado Yota heard Orochimaru's words, he continued

"How could it be? To know that in such a large mine, no matter how little Gray's Stone is, it will never be so small. As for the over-exploitation of the Sand Ninja, it is unlikely. After all, according to the information I have, the Sand Ninja is also If you don’t mine it for a long time, you won’t be able to get much Greel Stone.”

"Furthermore, there are traces deep in this vein that have been mined by Earth Escape masters. Judging from the time of these traces, it is obvious that they were not mined by the Suna Ninja. This means that the first force to discover this vein was definitely not us and the Suna Ninja. There should be another force that is plotting against us and the Suna Ninja."

While Orochimaru was responding to Mikado Yota's question, he was thinking about the source of his information about the Gray Stone and all the things that had happened during this time.

'What is the purpose of this unknown force?He is actually willing to sacrifice the huge benefits of the Gray Stone to seduce himself and the Sand Ninjas. You must know that even if the quantity of the Gray Stone is much smaller, it still has very huge benefits. Such a huge sacrifice of benefits will definitely make this organization gain greater benefits. Only the interests of this unknown organization make such calculations. '

Orochimaru kept thinking in his mind, trying to find out the true purpose of this unknown force from the chaotic events in the past. However, he did not realize that the positions of his three students were a bit loose. Whether it was accidental or a coincidence, Orochimaru happened to intercept Orochimaru. Maru all retreat routes.

"Teacher Orochimaru, are you a little unfounded? The so-called unknown force does not exist at all. The reason why the Greel Stone is rare in this vein is probably due to the special nature of the Greel Stone."

Qian Nai looked at Orochimaru who was not only thinking, but spoke with a gentle face, but her tone had an inexplicable emotion, as if she didn't want Orochimaru to continue thinking.

Orochimaru, who was interrupted from thinking, suddenly remembered some information that came from the village a few days ago. The teacher's comrade-in-arms, the Hokage, assisted Danzo, was assassinated on the spot in the village, and there was no rescue during the entire assassination process.

Orochimaru didn't think carefully when he received the information. At that time, his mind was full of how to obtain the Grayl Stone. Now in retrospect, he realized that Danzo, the high-ranking member of Konoha, died in such a trivial manner.

Although the intelligence said that it was because of the barrier that Danzo did not send out a rescue, the Dark Ninja would never be captured so easily. How could Orochimaru, who had worked with Danzo, not guess this? There must be a means of seeking help arranged by this root leader outside the barrier.

Even if Danzo didn't arrange a so-called back-up plan if he took another ten thousand steps back, the sensing ninjas in the village didn't discover it within 10 minutes. There were more unknown barriers in the village, so the assassination force also had a lot of power in the village. power.

If the two things are really said by one force, then the purpose of this real force is to kill the darkness of the ninja world. What exactly did Danzo find at his root that made this unknown force willing to pay such a huge price.

Orochimaru also felt for a moment that the village where he grew up was so strange, and what role did the three students who followed him on the mission play in it.

Monitor!Assassination!Or use it!

With all the thoughts in his mind, Orochimaru did not respond to Qianna's words. At this time, Ruri, who had not spoken since Orochimaru started thinking, spoke coldly.

"Teacher Orochimaru, the traces excavated in the Greer Stone veins are likely to be traces of previous excavations by ancient countries. I have seen in my family's collection of books that the Kingdom of Kawa once belonged to a powerful country in the distant past."
