After coming out of the Hokage's office, Dawn returned home, took out the money his father left behind, stroked it and said, "Tianming, what do you think this bloody aura is? Could it be the transformation of my father?"

"Probably not, but it definitely contains part of your father's consciousness, otherwise he wouldn't have had such emotional fluctuations after seeing Danzo." Tianming analyzed. After all, this thing was something outside the original work, so Tianming didn't dare to confirm it casually.

"Anyway, judging from its performance, it seems to have no ill will towards me. Forget it, don't think about it anymore. The most important thing now is to find Orochimaru." Then, Dawn used summoning magic to summon the "courier" blue snake.

"Hiss, what are you going to send this time, Dawn?" asked the blue snake.

"Take me to find Orochimaru." Dawn said immediately.

"You know my rules. Ten corpses are needed this time." said the blue snake.

"I understand, but you also know the relationship between me and Orochimaru. Pay when you get the money." Dawn said indifferently.

The blue snake was secretly delighted. It had earned a few more bodies last time because of Orochimaru's generosity. This time, when he heard Dawn say that it was still payable on delivery, he couldn't help but regret it. He felt that the price he offered was a little too low. He then rolled his eyes and said, "If you want payable on delivery, you have to pay more. I want twenty bodies."

Poxiao waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll ask Orochimaru for it for you then."

Then the blue snake opened its mouth, ready to swallow Dawn.

"Wait, what are you going to do?" Poxiao asked puzzledly.

"I'll take you to find Orochimaru. Don't you want to look for him?" the blue snake said curiously.

"Can't I just stand on your head?" After saying that, Dawn used the instant to fly directly onto the head of the blue snake.

"No, I'm one of the top ten strongest snakes in Longdi Cave. How can a human like you stand above me? You have to pay more." The blue snake bargained again.

"Okay, okay, one price, fifty corpses, how about that?" Dawn said impatiently.

"Your Excellency Lord Dawn, I will serve you immediately. Please hold me tightly. We will set off now." When the blue snake heard the price, it immediately became docile again.

Under the leadership of the blue snake, Dawn quickly found a cave where Orochimaru was hiding.

"Hiss, Orochimaru, someone is looking for you." The big blue snake shouted at the entrance of the cave.

"Is that you, Mr. Aoki? Just come in and take the fork on the right. The body is on the fork on the left when you come in. Go and get it yourself." Orochimaru's voice came from the cave.

Dawn followed the path pointed out by Orochimaru and arrived at the cave. This place had been turned into a research institute by Orochimaru, but it was only a short time ago, so it looked a bit crude.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm here to arrest you?" Poxiao walked in carelessly and found a chair to sit down.

"Haha, I don't think Mr. Dawn will catch me." Orochimaru laughed.

"That's right, but I want to know what Danzo said to you that made you defect." Dawn looked at Orochimaru and asked.

"As expected of Mr. Dawn, you guessed the reason so quickly." Orochimaru said to Dawn with admiration.

"That day, Danzo came to me and asked me to summon all the bodies of Konoha's missing ninjas during the succession ceremony of the Fourth Hokage. In this way, the succession ceremony will definitely be interrupted. At least before Minato investigates the cause of death of these missing people, he will not become the Fourth Hokage."

"These missing ninjas were basically killed by people sent by Danzo. At this time, he asked me to hand over all the evidence to the Third Hokage. With my record in the Second and Third Wars, and the cause of death of the missing ninjas this time, I might be the Fourth Hokage of Minato. After the matter is done, I will appoint him as the Hokage's assistant. He will handle all the practical matters, and I will do my research with peace of mind. He will provide me with everything I need." Orochimaru recounted what happened that day.

"Then you rejected him, and he threw all the dirty water on you, forcing you to defect, right?" Dawn immediately guessed what would happen next.

"Yes, after I rejected him, he told me that among the corpses provided before, there were many ninjas from Konoha Village. If I didn't agree, then all the evidence would point to me. You know, with his many years of experience in Konoha, he could easily do that, so I had to defect." Orochimaru continued.

"But, after you defected, didn't you confirm the dirty tricks that Danzo had thrown at you? Why didn't you tell the Third Hokage?" Dawn asked in confusion.

"Mr. Aoki, the teacher is no longer the same teacher as before. If it would have worked to tell him, White Fang would not have died, Tsunade would not have left, and Jiraiya would not have used the excuse of traveling and not even returned from the Third War. For the teacher, if he touches Danzo now, it will hurt the foundation of Konoha. Once this happens, I'm afraid the Fourth Ninja World War will not be far away."

Even though Orochimaru usually focuses on his research and doesn't care about worldly affairs, he knows Konoha's current situation better than anyone else.

"Anyway, there is no difference between me before and now. I just need to spend some time training a few reliable subordinates to help me collect experimental subjects. It doesn't make much difference whether I am in Konoha or not." Orochimaru said with a faint smile.

After listening to Orochimaru's words, Xiao didn't know how to persuade him. Orochimaru was now very disappointed with Konoha.

Orochimaru looked at Aoki's hesitant expression and said slowly: "If Aoki-kun has nothing to do, I suggest you don't stay in Konoha. The upper echelons of Konoha are too dirty. They are not suitable for you or Minato, unless the old man is determined to wipe out all the roots of Danzo. It's a pity that it could be done thirty years ago, but now..."

Then Orochimaru took out a few scrolls and said, "I heard that you have made a breakthrough in your research on Wood Release recently. Here are all the Wood Release Ninjutsu of the First Hokage that I got from Danzo. It happens that you can use them. There are also some skills in the Sealed Book that I secretly recorded when I was copying the Wood Release Ninjutsu. I will give them to you as well."

After Poxiao took the scroll, he took a look and found that the first generation Hokage's signature wood-style ninjutsu, such as "Grafting Technique", "World Advent", "Wooden Man Technique", and "True Tree Thousand Hands", all had corresponding ninjutsu scrolls.

In addition, there is the Darkness Walking Technique created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the Multiplying Explosive Talisman Technique, etc.

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru." Dawn thanked Orochimaru sincerely.

"Hehe, I'm not an adult now. I'm just a defected ninja." Orochimaru shook his head and said with a smile.

"Lord Orochimaru, if one day, Danzo is completely eliminated by the Third Hokage or the Fourth Hokage, will you return to Mokuyo?" asked Dawn.

Orochimaru listened to Dawn's question, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Impossible, the old man is qualified, but he doesn't have the courage, and Minato may have the courage, but he doesn't have the foundation. Danzo only needs to use some tricks to make Minato busy."

"Then...what about me?" Dawn asked seriously again.

Orochimaru looked at Dawn, who didn't seem to be joking, and said seriously: "Dawn-kun, although you are strong and courageous enough, your status is not enough. If you act rashly, I'm afraid you will become the enemy of the entire Konoha Village, so it's better for you not to have such an idea."

"I just said it casually. Okay, I have to hurry up and look for the Konoha rebel Orochimaru." After saying that, Dawn stood up from the chair and walked out.

Orochimaru looked at Poxiao's back and muttered to himself, "Poxiao-kun, you didn't look like you were just talking casually just now..."
