Traveling through three generations: Orochimaru, you become the Hokage.

Chapter 18 The Road to the Future

Orochimaru looked at his friend next to him helplessly. He ordered two ramen noodles for his hand, and then used his hand to move away the hand that was pressing on his shoulder.

"Not yet."

"That's almost it. Some people have already called you the Fifth Hokage. What's wrong? Hokage, you won't be so unkind after becoming Hokage, will you? Then I will be really sad."

Seeing this guy who was still acting weird, Orochimaru sighed inwardly.I can't help but complain, I have always been so out of tune, no wonder my pursuit of Tsunade has always failed.

This is not the kind of guy Tsunade likes.

Finally, the ramen was served and placed in front of Orochimaru and Kabuto, and Kabuto's portion was relatively small.

Picking up the chopsticks and breaking them apart, the master and the apprentice started eating.

I have to say, Ichiraku Ramen tastes really good.

Ramen made with real dedication and care will make even the pickiest of people find it delicious and mellow.

"Phew, I'm full, I'm full!" The man next to him placed another big bowl on the pile of bowls piled high.

He patted his swollen belly, looking extremely enjoying and satisfied.

"Jiraiya-sama, are you satisfied with your meal?" he asked with a smile while squinting his eyes.

The man known as Jiraiya-sama waved his hand and said: "Satisfied, satisfied, it still tastes the same as in memory, no, it tastes better than in memory. Hand-made, you have made progress."

"Hahahahaha! Jiraiya-sama said whatever he said, I just want you to be satisfied." Teida said with a hearty smile.

Finally, Orochimaru and Kabuto finished their ramen, drank the soup in one go, and put down their bowls.

"What's the reason for coming back this time?"

Regarding Orochimaru's question, Jiraiya said while picking his teeth: "You are about to become the Fifth Hokage. Of course I will come back to celebrate."

"You're leaving after the celebration, right?"

"What? You can't bear to leave me?" Jiraiya asked in a funny tone.

There was a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.

But he only had a little expectation, but he knew that Orochimaru was not the kind of person who liked to say heart-warming words.

This stinky snake was probably going to taunt him again.

Of course, it would be nice to have a fight with him.

Come on, Orochimaru, Master Jiraiya is ready!This time I want you to look good!

"I do hope you stay."

"I just know...what?"

"Stay and help me, Jiraiya."

Orochimaru faced him with a rare solemn request.

"..."

Jiraiya stayed there in a daze, feeling like he was in a dream.

Orochimaru, that stinky guy, actually made such a sincere request to him?

Is this, finally admitting him?

For a moment, Jiraiya was not as happy as expected, but rather melancholy.

"...When you become Hokage, people will change, right?"

"People change."

"Yes, people will always change. Just like you, just like me, just like Tsunade, just like the old man... However, some things will not change. Orochimaru, I don't want to stay with you to fight for power. , that’s not what I want.”

Yes, from Jiraiya's point of view, Orochimaru asked him to stay, probably to consolidate his power.

After all, with the support of him, the Konoha Sannin and Orochimaru's good partner, Orochimaru's Hokage position will undoubtedly be more secure.

But Jiraiya was really tired of this kind of power tactics.

"You are still so naive, Jiraiya." Orochimaru sighed with emotion.

Zilai also pouted.

<divclass="contentadv">Get up.

Feeling bored at this time, he no longer wanted to deal with Orochimaru and wanted to find a place to stay by himself.

"I know that you long for peace. What if I say that I hope you stay and help me to make this world more peaceful?"

Take a step.

Turning around, Jiraiya sat down.

"Speak clearly to me, you stinky snake!"

"The teacher and I have a plan."

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya who was looking at him seriously.

"This plan would be better if you help me."

After a while, Orochimaru walked out of the Ichiraku Ramen House, and in the Ichiraku Ramen House, Jiraiya lowered his head and thought absentmindedly.

"Why does it have to be me?" He asked Orochimaru this question before.

"Only you will take this matter seriously. I believe you will not let it get out of control. You yearn for peace more than anyone else, and you will not let anyone desecrate any possibility of peace."

"For peace? I don't believe you would be so kind."

"It is better to create your dreams with your own hands than to indulge in an illusory dream called prophecy."

"Are you concerned about me? Orochimaru."

"If you must think so."

"...You are right, Orochimaru, I will not let anyone desecrate the possibility of peace. It is rare for an old man to make such a determination. If you want to do such a thing, it is indeed difficult for me to ignore it. Let me make it clear first, if I am asked to intervene in this matter, I will not care about the so-called factional interests in the village! If something unpleasant happens to me for the sake of profit during this process, Orochimaru, I will not hold back!"

"Just right."

Orochimaru's smile was eerie.

"I also don't like the rotten factions in the village. Jiraiya, go ahead and eradicate them."

"Ah, Orochimaru, are you a little too extreme..."

Seeing Orochimaru's mocking smile, Jiraiya reacted.

"You stinky snake! You're really looking for a fight!"

After a rare fight, it felt like going back in time, which made people nostalgic.

In short, recalling what had just happened, Jiraiya covered his face with his hands to hide the smile on his face.

This feeling that the whole world seems to come alive.

The feeling of longing for the future.

Just like when he was young, he, Orochimaru, and Tsunade were together.

Tsunade.

He lay on the table and wiped away the tears that overflowed from his eyes because he was so moved.

Really, he is already so old.

However, he really wanted to say something loudly.

Tsunade!I miss you so much!

If you come back and join us, the three of us, Tsunade, me, and Orochimaru, with great longing for the future, will continue to stumble together in this world...

"Orochimaru-sensei seems to be in a good mood."

This is what Kabuto was thinking while looking at Orochimaru next to him on the way, but he didn't say it out loud.

Yes, Orochimaru was indeed in a good mood.

He is not a very kind-hearted person who desires peace.

However, he does not reject it and continues to walk on the road to the future with those he is bound to.
