Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san

Sarutobi Hiruzen sincerely felt that he was lucky to have a disciple as talented as Orochimaru.

"Uh……"

Orochimaru probably guessed what his teacher was thinking.

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Orochimaru on the shoulder to encourage him, as if to say "come on" I am optimistic about you.

Orochimaru laughed dryly and said with a smile, "I am ashamed to say that I did not develop this ninjutsu."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned when he heard this.

Even the hand that patted Orochimaru's shoulder became a little stiff.

"Huh? You didn't develop the ninjutsu? Who developed the ninjutsu?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was puzzled.

Who in the village would teach Orochimaru this level of ninjutsu, and even if he taught it, Orochimaru would probably not accept it given his cold personality. "

Orochimaru gave a brief reply: "Ao Pheasant."

Yuan Fei Rizhan was stunned: "Qing Pheasant?"

Orochimaru hummed and further explained: "Uchiha Aokiji."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rounded his eyes slightly and took a breath: "Is it him?"

Orochimaru confirmed: "Yes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen once suspected that he heard wrongly: "Wait a minute, my mind is a little confused. Are you saying that this Rasengan was developed by Aokiji?"

Orochimaru nodded and remained silent, leaving Sarutobi Hiruzen aside to let him calm down.

After calming down, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked confused: "Why would Aokiji teach you this ninjutsu?"

In Orochimaru's view, it was normal for his teacher to have such a problem, so he used the excuse Aoji had prepared for him: "How should I put it...Actually, Aoji-kun owes me a lot of money."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked confused, obviously he didn't expect this answer: "Ow money?"

"Yes, because in the past six months or so, Qingzhi-kun has been traveling all the time. The expenses were huge, and there was no income, so he quickly couldn't make ends meet. In order to raise money for the trip, he took the initiative to find me to borrow money, and because, He had no money to repay the debt, so he chose to teach me the ninjutsu he developed to pay off the debt."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was dumbfounded that this was the reason.

Under normal circumstances, ninjutsu is like life to ninjas. They would rather starve to death than sell their ninjutsu on the roadside.

But considering Qing Pheasant's long-standing style, it doesn't seem surprising.

"Qing Pheasant, this kid is really unexpected."

After that, he asked about Qing Pheasant by the way: "Is he still traveling outside? Isn't he willing to go back to the village?"

After hearing what Orochimaru said just now, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to doubt himself. Every time Aokiji returned to the village, it was because he ran out of money on the road, so he made a special trip back to the village to ask someone to borrow money.

Orochimaru nodded.

Sarutobi Hiruzen:...

Seeing the other party's sudden silence, Orochimaru looked confused: "What's wrong? Sarutobi-sensei?"

"nothing."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and hesitated.

Being able to develop a ninjutsu like the Rasengan at such a young age was such an outstanding talent that he was really worried about it.

His original evaluation of his beloved disciple was that he had the qualifications of the first generation, and he wanted to know the truth. Naturally, this evaluation fell on Aokiji.

It would be fine if he was an ordinary ninja, but after all, his surname is Uchiha. Fortunately, he does not have a Sharingan. This is the only thing that Sarutobi Hiruzen feels more at ease about at the moment.

Mentioning the assets of the first generation, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but think of it, and felt a shiver in his heart.

The spy placed in the Uchiha family once told him this sentence: Aokiji has qualifications comparable to those of Uchiha Madara.

To be compared to Uchiha when he was young by that Itachi elder is not as simple as having talent.

Even though Aokiji is extremely talented and even possesses the Blood Succession Limit, he does not have the Sharingan after all, so it is impossible for him to receive such a high evaluation within the Uchiha family.

Although Aokiji has never had a Sharingan in the eyes of outsiders, who knows if he is just faking it.

Of course, given Aokiji's age, he shouldn't be so scheming, but that doesn't mean that the family members behind him won't instigate him not to expose his Sharingan.

There may be a question mark as to whether Aokiji has the Sharingan.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked one after another: "By the way, Orochimaru, I want to ask you something."

"what is the problem?"

"Aoji..." After a pause, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a meaningful look in his eyes, and even his voice became a little lower: "Have you ever shown the Sharingan in front of you?"

"Okay, why do you ask this question?"

When Orochimaru was suddenly asked this question, Orochimaru's stunned reaction was a normal reaction for Sarutobi Hiruzen. He continued: "Well~ if Aokiji has the Sharingan, I would like to try to assign him a more important task. Even It was to drag him into the ANBU for training."

"Anbu?"

Orochimaru was very familiar with this title. This was a unit directly commanded by the Hokage. He thought for a while and said: "Aochiji's character is not suitable for staying in ANBU."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said softly: "The specific reasons are more complicated. I can't tell you at your current age, but I can tell you that I did this for his own good."

Orochimaru didn't ask any more questions and showed a reasonable look: "Okay, I understand."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked satisfied: "Then can you tell me now?"

"Sorry, Sarutobi-sensei, Aokiji has never shown the Sharingan in front of me."

Orochimaru's expression was well controlled, and Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't notice anything strange.

Although he felt a little sorry for deceiving his mentor, he still respected Qing Zhi's opinion and did not tell the truth.

Perhaps because he trusted his disciple too much, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not become suspicious when he heard the news, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Aokiji had the Sharingan, it would be really scary. After all, with his talent, he must have the qualifications to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

But just because it’s not happening now, doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future, so we shouldn’t take it lightly. After all, Aokiji is not very old, so it is not impossible for him to awaken his Sharingan.

Should we send someone to monitor him?

As soon as this idea came up, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately rejected it and gave up the idea. It was not because of any feelings, but because Aokiji was getting stronger and stronger now, and the surveillance was likely to alert the enemy, which would be self-defeating.

What he just said to Orochimaru that he planned to recruit Aoki into the Anbu was not just talk, but a real plan.

Judging from the intelligence, Aokiji has a close relationship with the elder Weasel. If the truth is learned that day, it is likely to become a time bomb. For the stability of the village, it must be stopped before this happens.

Although Aoki's character doesn't seem like someone who would do that kind of thing.

The key question now is not whether he wants to, but whether he has the ability.

And Qing Pheasant is exactly the kind of person who has that kind of innate ability.

Making Aokiji a member of ANBU is, on the surface, a friendly message to the Uchiha family, making him a bridge between the village and Uchiha. In fact, it uses the power of ANBU to allow the team members to control Aoki to a certain extent. Monitor him to prevent him from losing control.

Rather than leaving this time bomb, it is better to place him within a controllable range and train him while he is still young and has little experience in the world.
