Naruto: Our Goal Is To Dig Every Corner of Konoha

"It's because the news you gave me is too unsettling, but I am very curious, how did you know about me? I am indeed pursuing eternal life, but I have never disclosed it to others!"

Orochimaru was quite puzzled. After seeing the note Asahi gave him, he could no longer control his desire for longevity, and what surprised him was that this secret was always buried in him. In my heart, but Asahi knows.

"You don't need to worry about this, Orochimaru-dono, I naturally have my own method, but since Orochimaru-dono came out here, it means Orochimaru-dono is very interested, right?"

"Yes, I am indeed very interested, so what do you guys want?"

Orochimaru is quite obsessed with eternal life, but he is curious about what Iwagakure intends to do.

"It's very simple, our Iwagakure has only one purpose, that is, to invite you, Orochimaru-dono to join our Iwagakure!"

Asahi stated his purpose, but Orochimaru was lost in thought, even felt a little bit unbelievable. He had seen others poaching people, but the Kage-level powerhouses who directly poaches other people's villages may be too much.

"Do you think you can recruit me with the eternal life I haven't even seen yet? You should know my position in Konoha, and I have the confidence to find a way to get eternal life. So why should I give up Konoha and join Iwagakure?"

Orochimaru immediately spoke up. He had absolute confidence in himself, and he believed he can find the key to eternal life by himself. Since Iwagakure has found it, then why would Onoki still grow old? That means, Asahi might be lying.

"No, no, you don't seem to have a clear view of the situation, Orochimaru-dono. Let alone eternal life, do you think you can be the Hokage?"

Asahi didn't panic at all, as Orochimaru's reaction was already within his expectation.

"Why not? In Konoha, the only ones who can become the Hokage are me, Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato, and Danzo, but Jiraiya doesn't care about Hokage's position, Namikaze Minato has too little qualifications, and Danzo can't beat me, so the Hokage's position could only be mine!"

Orochimaru felt that the Hokage's position must be his own, after all, he has been famous for a long time.

"Well said, although I don't want to destroy your dream, but I still tell you, the most unlikely person to become the Hokage is you, even if Danzo becomes a Hokage, you can't be become the Hokage!"

"What do you mean?"

Orochimaru's expression changed after hearing Asahi's words.

"Don't worry, I'll make it clear to you slowly. Let's not talk about the many dirty things you did behind Konoha, do you think Danzo, who has been targeting Hokage's position for a long time, will let you go? You and Danzo have some deals, and you don't have an authority like Danzo. He can tell Sandaime what you are doing at any time, and with this, let alone Hokage, you will even go to prison."

"As for the possibility of Danzo stabbing you from behind your back, I don't need to say more, as you should be aware of it yourself. Even if this one reason is removed, neither Danzo nor Sandaime will allow you to become the Hokage, because they won't be able to control you."

"For the Hokage's position, Danzo can even kill Konoha's White Fang. Not to mention you. He may not be able to compete for the Hokage's position with the ones you mentioned, but he can kill the others to take the position himself."

"If there's no one suitable to be the Hokage, then there is only him left. Therefore, even if he can't be in the top position himself now, the person at the top must be someone who is easy to control and can be overthrown at any time. With this condition, only Namikaze Minato is suitable."

"So, regardless of whether Danzo can be the Hokage or not, you definitely have no such possibility. Danzo already has your evidence of crime. So even if you want to kill Danzo now, Danzo can still take care of you before you could do anything."

"So, do you still think you can be the Hokage now?"

Asahi's remarks caused Orochimaru to fall into contemplation. The Hokage's position he believed has already in his pocket suddenly began to become a little illusory. He wanted to refute Asahi's words, but he couldn't find any reason to refute.

As a Hokage, he must reduce his own negative information to zero, not to mention that when it is cleaned up, it can't be too obvious. However, Orochimaru is different. In order to pursue eternal life, he has done a lot of human experiments with Shodaime Hokage's cells.

And this kind of evidence is still in Danzo's hands. Right now, Danzo is like someone holding his only life-saving straw. He can strangle him to death at any time to become the Hokage. With his understanding of Danzo, Danzo will do it with 100% probability.

So after thinking about it, Orochimaru discovered that the possibility of becoming Hokage is not close to zero, but it's already at absolute zero, and there is no possibility of becoming Hokage.

"There is no possibility of becoming the Hokage, and there are only two paths left in front of you, become a prisoner or bereaved dog. Although Sandaime is not a good person, he should not directly kill as you are still his disciple."

"So you don't have to worry about dying, but if you become a prisoner, your eternal life dream will be shattered, so your only way is to become a traitor, a bereaved dog."

"I believe you can find a way to live forever. You indeed have incomparable talent, otherwise, I would not come to recruit you, but your efforts alone are not as good as the support of a whole village, and we also have mastered a lot of secrets about this world. Even Konoha didn't know about such secret, so I can reveal a little bit to you."

"In this world, there are still some people who has eternal life. Now, it's up to you to choose!"

Asahi said and threw a scroll to Orochimaru, which recorded some things about Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Six Paths' brothers. It even recorded that Kaguya was sealed for thousands of years and stayed in the moon.

In fact, Asahi doing this is considered trapping wolf barehanded. This kind of news will also be exposed by Madara in the future. At that time, it will not be too much of a secret, so he just took it out in advance. (T/N: Trapping wolf barehanded means gaining rich benefit or making big profit by paying little or no price.)

So, if Orochimaru is really recruited, it will be a real trapping wolf barehanded.

"These things......"

Orochimaru's face changed as he read the content of the scroll, and his face was almost like a Sichuan opera's actor. Asahi stayed by the side as he wasn't in a hurry, and just looked at Orochimaru calmly. As for Konga, well, he is very confused. He also heard the analyzation Asahi said, but he was still a little confused.

However, he still sorted out some things that he understood, that Orochimaru will definitely be a traitor and run away in the end.
