Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

The friendship with Mitarashi Anko is only part of it.

What’s more, it’s the dark purple magatama seal behind Mitarashi Anko’s neck.

When someone reaches Okamoto Dousuke's level, he will seize every opportunity to become stronger without hesitation.

The Heaven's Curse Seal behind Mitarashi Anko's neck is most likely the method used by Okamoto Dousuke to master the Shimokotsu Forest Sage Mode.

That's why Okamoto Dousuke touched Mitarashi Anko when she was at her most vulnerable.

In order to gain further favor.

Looking at the Heaven's Curse Seal on Mitarashi Anko's neck.

Okamoto Dousuke naturally knew that now was not the time to do research.

So after just a few glances, Okamoto Dousuke looked away.

There is Okamoto Dousuke, plus Mitarashi Anko, the dumpling destroyer, and the black and white snake who likes sweets just like Anko.

The three-color meatballs that Mitarashi Anko bought were all eaten by them in a short time.

"Well, I haven't eaten so well in a long time!!" Mitarashi Anko patted her bulging belly.

He smiled at Okamoto Dousuke.

It’s not like Mitarashi Red Bean hasn’t eaten so many meatballs before.

But before this, Mitarashi Red Bean always ate alone in silence.

The only person accompanying Mitarashi Anko was the snake.

Although Orochimaru was cold in the past, he treated his disciple Anko Mitarashi well.

I still care about it.

Orochimaru often eats meatballs with Mitarashi Anko.

Afterwards, Mitarashi Anko was left alone.

Until now, the appearance of Okamoto Dousuke.

The appearance of Okamoto Dousuke made Mitarai Anko feel that she was no longer alone.

"Thank you!!" Mitarashi Anko looked at Okamoto Dousuke and blinked her big eyes.

Suddenly he whispered thanks.

Mitarashi Anko's sudden action stunned Okamoto Dousuke.

Before Okamoto Dousuke could react.

Swish!

Mitarashi Anko suddenly flipped backwards.

The small body turned several circles in the air, with legs slightly bent, lightly unloading the force and landing perfectly.

Mitarashi Anko walked up to Daika.

He gently patted Dahua's snake head and said, "I'll come see you after I leave."

After saying that, he walked towards the village without looking back.

Okamoto Dousuke was left alone, sitting on the tree trunk with his stomach in the air.

"This guy!!" Okamoto Dousuke cursed with a smile as he looked at Mitarai Anko's departing back.

Hiss! !

The big snake raised its head and looked in the direction where Mitarashi Anko left.

Whoosh!

Okamoto Dousuke also jumped down from the tree.

Dahua, who was saying goodbye to Mitarashi Anko, heard noise behind her.

Turning around, after seeing Okamoto Dousuke, Dahua was so scared that she turned over.

Then he plunged into the bushes without looking back.

"Coward!!" Okamoto Dousuke looked at Dahua who was in a panic.

Just cursed directly.

This cowardly snake, except that it is a little bigger, its personality is still the same as before.

After saying this, Okamoto Dousuke also walked towards his home.

And Okamoto Dousuke just left.

The Third Hokage, who was reviewing documents in the Hokage Building, received a report from the Anbu about Okamoto Dousuke's contact with Mitarai Anko.

The Third Hokage looked at the information handed over by the Anbu.

Take a slow, deep breath.

Then he said in a deep voice: "From now on, there is no need to provide any detailed information about Okamoto Dousuke."

In the eyes of the Third Hokage, Okamoto Dousuke has been included in the line of succession to the Hokage.

Since he is the successor to the Hokage, he should be given a certain amount of respect.

At least things like coming into contact with Mitarashi Anko don't have to be reported.

However, in the mind of the Third Hokage, Okamoto Dousuke was not the Fifth Hokage, but the Sixth Hokage.

In the opinion of the Third Hokage, Okamoto Dousuke is still too young.

Moreover, Dousuke Okamoto became famous at a young age and has hardly experienced any setbacks.

In the eyes of the Third Hokage, this is actually a flaw.

That's why I want to train Okamoto Dousuke for a few more years.

As for the candidate for the Fifth Hokage, the Third Hokage planned to choose one of his disciples, Tsunade or Jiraiya.

Let Jiraiya or Tsunade serve as the fifth Hokage for a while, and then Okamoto Dousuke can officially take over.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!" The Anbu nodded after hearing the words of the Third Hokage.

Then he disappeared into the Hokage's office.

Time passes day by day.

More than a year has passed since Orochimaru's defection.

The border conflict between Kumogakure and Konoha is also intensifying.

There is not only friction between Kumogakure and Konoha, but Iwagakure and Sandagakure are also secretly testing Konoha's attitude.

For a time, the situation in the ninja world was precarious.

The military strength of Sunagakure is at the bottom among the five major countries, so at most it can only slightly harass Konoha.

As for Iwagakure and Kumogakure, although they have strong military strength.

But between the two countries and Konoha lies the rest of the country.

It's okay for a small group of troops to fight and harass.

If you want to mobilize troops on a large scale to invade Konoha, it would be somewhat difficult.

Therefore, although there are constant minor frictions on the borders of several countries, more violent conflicts have never broken out.

And far away from the Ninja Continent is the Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

At this time, the Hidden Mist Village was still in the midst of its own civil strife.

There is simply no energy left to care about the mess between Konoha and Sand Village, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure.

In a dark underground passage in Konoha.

A ninja with a ninja sword on his back walked slowly among them.

Squeak! !

A sound that makes one's teeth ache was heard.

The door opens.

The ninja carrying a ninja sword slowly walked in.

"Lord Danzo!" the visitor respectfully greeted Danzo Shimura who was sitting behind the desk.

Hear someone's voice.

Danzo Shimura, who was processing various intelligence, looked up.

After taking a closer look, he said, "It's Shisui!!"

"How is it, is there any new information?" Danzo Shimura asked Uchiha Shisui slowly.

"You haven't come to my place for a while." Although Danzo Shimura did not question Uchiha Shisui, his words and deeds put great psychological pressure on Uchiha Shisui.

"Yes!! Because I have been traveling back and forth between Kumogakure and Konoha during this period of time." Uchiha Shisui explained quickly.

"is it?"

"Then what information do you have about those radical Uchiha factions?" Shimura Danzo drooped his eyelids slightly.

Look at Uchiha Shisui.

"Report to Lord Danzo, everything is normal in the Uchiha family now, and there is no information worth noting!!" Uchiha Shisui said hurriedly.

When Danzo Shimura, who was sitting behind the long table, heard Uchiha Shisui's answer, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Then he looked at Uchiha Shisui intently.

An I-see-through-you look.
