Defection!
"Muye's higher-ups recently held another meeting, but you didn't attend.”Orochimaru continued," The fourth generation Naruto is dead, and the third generation is exhausted. Therefore, it is imperative to select the fifth generation Naruto!”
"Yes." Aizen nodded. Indeed, he knew that Koba would choose a new Naruto soon. After the fourth generation Naruto's memorial ceremony, he would take office. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before he gathered the ninja crowd to vote.
"You don't know, right? Just yesterday, all the major clans in Muye had already drawn up a list of candidates and sent them to the Fire Country for confirmation.”Orochimaru threw out the latest breaking news.
" And there are still three candidates!" Orochimaru continued," These three people are: Selaiya, me, and you!”
"There's actually me?" "Isn't this too childish?" Lan Zan asked curiously. I'm not even 15 years old yet."
"You should have been one of the candidates last time, but because of your age, you were crossed out in the end. However, this time, it was everyone's wish to have you on the list of candidates. Almost all the ninjas treated you as the second fourth generation Naruto.”
On the battlefield and in the battle against Nine-Tailed, Aizen could indeed be said to have sacrificed herself for others. The village was the highest. In that case, other than the lack of blond hair, Lan Ran was almost another fourth generation! The gentle smile, the approachable attitude, the powerful strength, and the love for the village were all copies of the fourth generation.
"Oh, even if that's the case, it has nothing to do with you coming to my place, right?”Lan Ran said.
"No, it's too much of a connection. Among the three candidates who entered this time, Zi Lai also forfeited again. In that case, only you and I can compete. Actually, I don't really want to be this Naruto. Moreover, I'm afraid I can't compete with you. You have to know that your popularity is the same as the fourth generation Naruto before the election. No one can stop you.”
"In that case, I'm going to be Naruto?”Lan Ran said.
"Yes." Orochimaru replied," However, some people obviously don't think so.”
"Group storage?" Although Lan Zan's tone was doubtful, his expression was firm.
"Yes, the group. No one could deny Tuan Zang's love for the village. He also participated in my experiment, so he naturally couldn't let someone like me be chosen as Naruto. Even if there was even the slightest possibility, he had to eliminate it. He was a stubborn person who wanted everything to be completely in his hands. He naturally would not believe in something as unpredictable as the election.”Orochimaru said helplessly," So, the safest thing to do is to prevent me from participating in the fifth generation Naruto. When the time comes, you'll be the only candidate, so you'll definitely become Naruto.”
"Fifth generation Naruto?" Lan Ran smiled playfully.
Orochimaru also laughed and said," Of course they don't know about your human experimentation. If they knew, even if the fifth generation Naruto couldn't be chosen, they wouldn't have let you be." Just now, the group treasury gave me an ultimatum, telling me to prepare to defect. Tomorrow, he will inform me about the human experiment in the village, so I have to prepare to leave the village.”
"Lord Orochimaru defected, why did you come looking for me?”Lan Ran said.
"Of course I have something to tell you. You can either stop your experiments from now on and continue being the fifth generation Naruto. "If you continue to do so, then it's inevitable that you'll be discovered. There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. Therefore, I want to tell you that if you betray me, I hope you can come and find me. We'll work together to develop the strongest technique, a technique that combines eternal life and the strongest power!”Orochimaru said excitedly. Originally, he only wanted to develop the Art of Immortality. However, after discovering Aizen's experiment, he had this idea. Since he was immortal, why not make his strength stronger?
In fact, eternal life and the strongest power were the domains of gods!
Lan Ran did not reject him on the spot. Instead, she said vaguely,"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Maybe I can't stand the temptation of the fifth generation Naruto and choose to give up.”
Orochimaru smiled and said with certainty," You won't, Aizen-kun. You and I are the same kind of people. You won't be content with this kind of life."”
"Maybe." Lan Ran did not comment.
"Alright, I'll be leaving first. I'll wait for you outside, Aizen-kun. Don't make me wait too long."”
Undoubtedly, the next morning, the group had informed the Dark Group and had them find Orochimaru's laboratory. Orochimaru was caught red-handed and blocked on the spot. However, Orochimaru was prepared and easily broke free from the blockade of the Dark Group and escaped from the village.
The third generation Naruto instantly aged ten years after being hit by this unforeseen event. Aizen and Kuraiya were ordered to pursue Orochimaru.
At the border of the Fire Country, Aizen and Kirai had caught up to Orochimaru. His touching words and urging him to stay were met with Orochimaru's merciless attack. In the end, he was killed by Aizen and his brother. However, when the corpse was returned to the village, it was discovered that it was a fake corpse. The real Orochimaru had long disappeared, and the matter was over. On the same day, the Kinoba Village issued a notice announcing that Orochimaru was an S-class renegade ninja. All the Ninja Village would kill him together.
It took Aizen a few days to chase Orochimaru back and forth. When they returned, the voting ceremony for the Jonin crowd had already ended. Of course, there was nothing much to vote for. There was only Aizen as a candidate. Originally, Naruto's voting ceremony would not be so trifling. The election would begin without the presence of the candidates. However, Danzang's insistence was not because he liked Aizen and supported him. In Tuan Zang's opinion, he was the most suitable person to be Naruto. However, the current him, whether in terms of strength or reputation, was far from Naruto. Helpless, he could only support the most suitable person to be Naruto. For example, the previous Wave Feng Water Sect, Tuan Zang had also fully supported it. After this blow, the third generation was almost unable to recover and was no longer in the mood to compete with Danzo. After the Nine-tailed incident, he trusted Aizen very much and followed Danzo's advice.
After Aizen returned to the village, she looked like Naruto. A large number of Dark Forces were densely packed around the house to protect Aizen. As for Aizen, she was also allowed to handle official business with the third generation and learn the work of Huo Ying. Aizen naturally learned humbly. If he did not understand, he would ask. He was unusually respectful to the third-generation successor. This situation made the third-generation successor almost mistakenly believe that Aizen was the fourth-generation successor. He often sighed helplessly.
Just like that, the days slowly passed, and the fourth generation Naruto's memorial service was about to begin!
