Naruto Time Control

Chapter 81

At this moment.

Konoha Camp, Land of Grass.

Orochimaru received Sarutobi Hiruzen's final instructions and smiled at Feng next to him, and said, "It seems that Sensei has already believed it."

Feng said helplessly: "Having this kind of strength at just ten years of age, of course everyone would be suspicious of how I got it.. So I would also like to thank teacher for helping to clear things up but not revealing everything."

Orochimaru only said to Sarutobi that Feng had a Kekkei Genkai that would boost his speed, he didn't reveal that it was a Kekkei Genkai of the time attribute.

In reality, Feng actually didn't care about his ability to accelerate time being exposed, But he needed to hide his ability to revert it, because it was his ultimate trump card.

Orochimaru deliberately didn't disclose everything for his own benefit.

Feng probably guessed why Orochimaru covered up for him, maybe Orochimaru doesn't mind if Sarutobi knew about Feng's Kekkei Genkai, but he was worried about Danzo finding out.

Orochimaru and Danzo have collaborations in secret, so Orochimaru has a very clear idea about what Danzo will do if he knew of Feng's abilities, so he needed to be careful of not exposing it.

"If I have not studied the human body to a certain degree, even I would find it difficult that what you're using is related to a time attribute Kekkei Genkai... So let's just use the excuse that your Kekkei Genkai has the ability to solely increase your speed as a cover up. Although it's not a big deal if your ability is exposed, because your enemies would not have any way to restrain you in the shortest amount of time. It's just that if some people knew what your ability is, some unnecessary trouble may arise."

Orochimaru chuckled.

Having been in contact with Feng for quite a while now, Orochimaru knew that the kid in front of him was far more intelligent than teenagers older than him. Feng was a rational, and cautious ninja, he knew that he would understand the underlying meaning behind his words..

Hearing Orochimaru, Feng could not help but sigh. If Orochimaru was really protective of him because he was his disciple and had no hidden intentions about his ability, then Feng would really be touched. (Editor's note: Yes I know, touched, and it's Orochimaru, but that's not what I meant alright? :p)

There is actually no difference between his time acceleration ability and those who really have a Kekkei Genkai that increases the individual's speed. That is to say, if the enemy has a way to deal with speed ninjas, then they could also use it against Feng, so whether his ability is exposed wouldn't really matter.

But the unnecessary trouble it would cause after being exposed is what they are preventing. And it was obviously Danzo.

"Well, Danzo has always been interested in me."

Feng chuckled lightly, and simply said out: "When I showed some of my talent previously, Danzo already tried to let me join his organization."

With his current strength and status, there is no need for him to hide anything from Orochimaru, not to mention they're on the same side.

Orochimaru gave a low scoff and said: "Danzo has always been interested in young talented ninjas, but what he values most is his interests and he doesn't care about rules. If you showed your talent early on, then maybe one of you and your brother might have already been pulled into his organization."

"I think so too."

Feng shrugged, and said: "That man should still have plans about taking me in, but he wouldn't act rashly during the war."

Orochimaru smiled faintly and said: "Don't be too worried about him, Sensei will not let him act as he pleases, especially if it concerns you... But the current system in the village is still rotten. If I can successfully become the Fourth Hokage, I'll reform the entire village."

With all that happened, Orochimaru knew that Feng was on his side, at least until before Hidden Leaf had no change in power, so he doesn't mind talking about his opinions on the village.

"I'll be there to support you, teacher."

Feng nodded gently.

Namikaze Minato has nothing to do with him. In the future, the two will probably fight for the position of the Fourth Hokage, but he will definitely stand on the side of Orochimaru.

No matter how you look at it, Orochimaru is indeed qualified to be the Fourth Hokage. In this time period...even in the original story, Orochimaru had always had passionate feelings toward the village.

Disappearances of individuals only happened after Namikaze Minato was appointed as the Fourth Hokage. It was clear that Orochimaru was disappointed by his teacher's decision.

In the original story, Namikaze Minato becoming the Fourth Hokage had nothing to do with his battle achievements on both the Second and Third Ninja Wars, in fact, the accomplishments Orochimaru made was no lower than his, his experience and seniority was even higher than Minato.

The reason why Namikaze Minato became the Fourth Hokage is actually very simple. Compared to Orochimaru, Namikaze Minato would be more amiable and would not wrest control of the entire village, affecting the status of the elders.

If Orochimaru was to be placed as the Fourth Hokage, then he would definitely not allow the elders to make decisions easily, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane and the rest would have to retire their positions in the Konoha Council.

Because of this.

Those elders will naturally support Namikaze Minato.

Hidden Leaf's system was terrible, and this can be clearly seen from how they handled the events prior to the Genocide of the Uchiha Clan.

Feng really didn't want to leave Hidden Leaf, he knew many people there, but his presence would threaten those with high status, the only choice would be for him to leave or be the Hokage!

But being Orochimaru's disciple was not within his plans.

Feng's original plan was after becoming Hokage, he would fix Hidden Leaf's system then pass the position to his brother Kakashi and then just retire early on.

"I wonder what would it be like if Orochimaru became the Fourth Hokage..." Feng murmured in his heart and couldn't help but smile.

In his opinion, it is necessary to deal with the Konoha Council, however, fixing the village system would take a lot of time not to mention keeping the balance between the clans within the village.

After all of this, Orochimaru might no longer have any time to do his research on techniques such as the Edo Tensei, and just focus on work until he retires as the Hokage.

"He-he-he! With your support, I'll have more confidence." Orochimaru said with the corner of his mouth raised

Orochimaru knows full well how difficult it is for him to be the next Hokage. The Konoha Council would collectively oppose it. One of his greatest advantages is that both Tsunade and Jiraiya have no interest in being the next Hokage, but now, Jiraiya's disciple would be his rival for the position.

Without enough power and strength, if he really wanted to be the Fourth Hokage he can only look for Sarutobi's help, and not just neutrality, but he needs his full support or else there would be no hope for him to obtain the position.

Now with Feng's support, he now holds a tremendous advantage.

There is really some hope now.

With Feng's current strength and status, he now holds a certain prestige in Konoha.
