"Tianyuan, perhaps the future of Konoha." Minato Namikaze looked at the departing Tianyuan, a faint smile on his face.
He thought of his master, Jiraiya.
In Jiraiya's mouth, Tianyuan was Jiraiya's younger brother.
The seniority between Minato Namikaze and Tianyuan was indeed a bit strange. Of course, neither of them had mentioned it. In Konoha, strength was still the prerequisite.
"Kakashi, you failed, didn't you? You're no longer Konoha's number one genius," Obito Uchiha said from the side.
"When did I ever say I was Konoha's number one genius?" Kakashi looked at Obito indifferently.
"Cough, cough, isn't that so?" Obito Uchiha coughed dryly.
"No," Kakashi's expression didn't change.
"Stop talking, Tianyuan is very strong. Perhaps he can compare to our First Hokage," Rin Nohara suddenly said.
"First Hokage," Obito Uchiha murmured.
The First Hokage founded Konoha Village and also inspired the other five great nations in the ninja world to do the same, establishing their own ninja villages.
One could say that the current state of the ninja world owes much to the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
But at that time, there was another person, that was Uchiha Madara.
However, Uchiha Madara was a topic that could not be discussed, neither in Konoha nor within the Uchiha clan.
"Alright, Kakashi, Obito, Rin, since you're all here, I'll train you now," Minato Namikaze said, looking at his disciples.
"Understood, Sensei," Obito Uchiha and the others replied.
At the same time.
Inside a certain building in Konoha, this building appeared very grand.
In one of the rooms.
Two figures very familiar to Konoha were here: Danzo, and Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.
"Orochimaru, what's wrong? You look a bit off," Danzo said, looking at the pale Orochimaru.
"Nothing, just experimenting with some things," Orochimaru said indifferently, his gaze calm.
"Experimenting with things," Danzo nodded. "How is the research on the First Hokage's cells going?"
"Don't you have a test subject there who can use Wood Style, although this Wood Style isn't very powerful?" Orochimaru glanced at Danzo.
"You mean Yamato? His ability is indeed not bad," Danzo said.
This Yamato was the only survivor among Orochimaru's test subjects, who would later become Yamato.
Although this Yamato could use Wood Style, his Wood Style was too far from the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju's.
Later, Yamato was just an ordinary Jonin who knew Wood Style ninjutsu.
He was completely incapable of using powerful Wood Style ninjutsu like Wood Dragon Jutsu, or Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, like Hashirama Senju.
"Don't worry, we're still researching this. After all, we're partners," Orochimaru sneered.
As Danzo of Root, he had done countless dirty deeds over the years.
Collaborating with Orochimaru for human experimentation was just one part of it.
Other matters even involved disrupting fellow Konoha ninjas due to power struggles.
"That's good," Danzo nodded. "Today, I called you over because I wanted to ask you something. About your disciple Tianyuan, is it possible for him to join Root?"
"Tianyuan." Orochimaru's face darkened slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. "You want Tianyuan to join Root?"
"After all, this person is a rare genius. If he enters Root, I have special ways to control him. And don't you want to research him? He seems to possess a certain special Bloodline Limit, doesn't he?" Danzo's words were very tempting.
"Danzo, you should go talk to Sensei Hiruzen about this," Orochimaru said.
"Hiruzen," Danzo said slowly. "He won't allow it. But Tianyuan is executing missions with you, so we can do it secretly."
"Do it secretly." Orochimaru sneered. "That's impossible, Lord Danzo."
"Impossible?" Danzo's face darkened. He looked deeply at Orochimaru. "Orochimaru, are you serious?"
"Naturally, I am serious..." Orochimaru said.
"Alright, then I'll listen to you." Danzo took a deep breath.
"Lord Danzo, currently I need more ninjas, especially ninjas from the Uchiha clan," Orochimaru said in a deep voice.
"Sharingan." Danzo's eyes flashed with apprehension. Danzo had experienced the powerful era of Uchiha Madara.
"Yes," Orochimaru said in a deep voice.
"Alright, but the experimental materials for this aspect won't be many," Danzo said. "After all, there are only so many Uchiha clan members."
"I know," Orochimaru nodded.
"Then, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," Orochimaru nodded to Danzo and then left the room.
Looking at the departing Orochimaru, Danzo's gaze was contemplative.
"Orochimaru, protecting your disciple, that's not like you. Is there something I don't know?" Danzo touched his face, deep in thought.
Orochimaru's behavior towards Tianyuan was unlike his usual self.
But how could Danzo know that yesterday, Tianyuan had shown Orochimaru his immense power using the Mangekyo Sharingan.
If Orochimaru didn't betray the village, his relationship with Tianyuan would be a strange one.
On the surface, Tianyuan was Orochimaru's disciple, but deeper down, the two were indeed enemies.
However, this relationship was very deeply hidden.
Until the very end, both would maintain this harmonious relationship. At least, Tianyuan was sometimes very interested in some of Orochimaru's research.
Let's not talk about these things for now.
Whether it was Danzo's conversation with Hiruzen or with Orochimaru, it naturally wouldn't affect Tianyuan.
Tianyuan only needed to understand one thing: in the ninja world, strength would always be the most important.
If one day his strength could dominate the world of Hokage, or even break through it, then what would there be to fear?
After bidding farewell to Minato, Tianyuan first returned to his home.
He opened the scroll given by Minato. On it was a special ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God Technique.
