Chapter 439 Orochimaru’s Purpose (Ch 439)

And when Tsunade accompanied Kazekage Rasa to the Hokage Building, no one expected that they would meet someone here who surprised everyone.

At the very front of the Hokage Building, there stood a short old man in ordinary clothes. He was holding a pipe in his hand and took a puff from time to time.

The appearance of this old man made Tsunade and his group stop involuntarily, and the eyes of the Kazekage Rasa flashed with a very complicated look, and he said in a hoarse voice:

“If I’m not mistaken, you should be the Third Hokage, right?”

Tsunade came to her senses after hearing what Kazekage Rasa said, and immediately introduced:

“Yes, this gentleman is the Third Hokage of our Konoha Village, and he is also my teacher.”

At this time, the Third Hokage also came up, with a kind smile on his face, and said with a smile:

“Old man, I’m retired now, you can just call me Sarutobi Hiruzen.”

At this point, the Third Hokage turned his gaze towards the Kazekage Rasa and continued;

“I heard that the Kazekage of the Sand Village has come to us. It has been a long time since I have seen such outstanding young people from the Sand Village, so I am very happy to see them. I just wonder if I, an old man, can introduce you to our Konoha Village during the rest of the trip.”

Hearing the words of the Third Hokage, Kazekage Rasa was also slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded and said:

“It would be my great pleasure to have the Third Hokage personally accompany me.”

At this time, Tsunade also reacted and turned to look at Uchiha Qiushan next to her.

The current Third Hokage is basically in seclusion, and the only person who can bring him out is Qiu Shanjun.

After meeting Tsunade’s gaze, Uchiha Qiushan did not deny it, but just nodded slightly.

Although Tsunade didn’t know why Qiu Shanjun did this, but out of trust in him, after talking to the Kazekage Rasa for a few words, she left him to the Third Hokage on the side.

When Uchiha Qiushan saw this, he teleported away with Tsunade and Shizune.

On the top of the Hokage Rock, a gentle breeze was blowing. Uchiha Qiushan and Tsunade stood there, looking at the Kazekage Rasa and his group in the distance.

At this moment, Tsunade on the side finally spoke:

“Okay, Qiu Shanjun, you’ve brought me out. Why on earth did you do this?”

Uchiha Qiushan heard what Sister Tsunade said, stepped forward and gently hugged her in his arms, and then said:

“I have confirmed that the Kazekage Rasa is actually Orochimaru in disguise, and the real Kazekage should have been killed by him.

And Orochimaru has become something new after all these years, but Sister Tsunade, you are pregnant now, and you are the bloodline that Orochimaru wants most.

In case Orochimaru really goes crazy and attacks you, I will let the Third Hokage come out to accompany him.”

After hearing what Qiu Shanjun said, Tsunade’s pupils also trembled wildly. She raised her head and looked at Qiu Shanjun, and said in a lost voice:

“Is the Kazekage really that guy Orochimaru pretending to be him?”

Although before this, Qiu Shanjun had more or less given her a heads-up, saying that Kazekage Rasa might be killed by Orochimaru, and that Orochimaru would pretend to be Kazekage Rasa and come to Konoha Village to watch the Chunin Exam on his behalf.

But Tsunade just thought that Qiu Shanjun was thinking too much. No matter how crazy Orochimaru was, he would never do such a thing.

You know, Kazekage Rasa is the leader of the Sand Village. If he is really killed by Orochimaru, and then uses his identity to cause trouble in Konoha Village,

Orochimaru offended two major ninja villages at once.

Before this, Orochimaru was already an S-rank traitor wanted by Konoha Village.

But because he was very cunning, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was kind to him, Orochimaru lived a very comfortable life even after he defected from Konoha Village.

However, if Orochimaru really offended the Sand Village and the Konoha Village in one fell swoop, it would be difficult for him to survive in the future.

After hearing Tsunade’s words, Uchiha Qiushan pointed to his eyes and continued:

“Although I have never seen Orochimaru, I know his aura, and Kazekage Rasa is definitely Orochimaru in disguise.”

After hearing what Qiu Shanjun said, Tsunade fell silent, smoothed her hair against the breeze, and then continued:

“So, what do you think, Qiu Shanjun?”

Although Orochimaru was her teammate with whom she had shared life and death together, Tsunade was not a soft-hearted person. What Orochimaru was going to do when he came to Konoha Village this time would definitely not be a good thing, and she would never allow such a thing to happen.

Although he didn’t have to kill Orochimaru, he had to be expelled.

Hearing what Sister Tsunade said, Uchiha Qiushan smiled slightly, looking at the group of people who had entered the Hokage Building in the distance, and said with a smile:

“Sister Tsunade, I actually admire Orochimaru very much, because he relies on his own talent, and can do things that are more powerful than those who have bloodline limits.

Before this, I had looked for Orochimaru several times, but he escaped every time.

But this time, Orochimaru came to my door, how could I bear to let him go? “

Hearing Qiu Shanjun’s words, Tsunade was also slightly stunned, then looked at him and said in astonishment:

“You, you want to subdue Orochimaru?”

Hearing what Sister Tsunade said, Uchiha Qiushan shook his head and continued:

“Let’s wait and see. Although I admire Orochimaru, I don’t want to restrict his thoughts. You know, an Orochimaru whose mind and thoughts are restricted is no longer Orochimaru.”

After hearing what Qiu Shanjun said, Tsunade looked thoughtfully at the Hokage Building in the distance. She vaguely felt something from Qiu Shanjun’s words.

At this moment, Uchiha Qiushan seemed to remember something, looked at Tsunade and said:

“Speaking of which, Sister Tsunade, how is Nawaki’s training going? Can he participate in this Chunin Exam?”

When Tsunade heard the name of Nawase, her expression softened a lot, and she said with a smile on her face:

“Well, Nawaki has almost adapted. He has also carried out several missions alone. Although they were small B-rank and C-rank missions, he performed quite well. Now, he has adapted to the current ninja world.”

After hearing what Sister Tsunade said, Uchiha Qiushan also nodded.

It may be because of Wood Release, or it may be because Rope Tree was resurrected by him.

Nawaki has always been very close to him, especially after knowing that Qiu Shanjun was his brother-in-law, and has never had any hostility towards him just because he is a member of the Uchiha clan.

This is also why Uchiha Qiushan likes Rope Tree very much.
