Chapter 178 Confused Red Bean

Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

Jiraiya was talking to Orochimaru with a communication frog.

"Orochimaru, Danzo has been imprisoned in the dungeon by the old man, and his entire roots have been uprooted."

"Your grievances have also been cleared by the old man, and now the villagers know that you are wronged."

"Tsunade has also returned to the village, why don't you come back and take a look?"

Jiraiya contacted Orochimaru again. This time the third generation did not speak, and it was completely Jiraiya who talked to Orochimaru.

Jiraiya told Orochimaru about the recent actions of the third generation.

Orochimaru replied: "I owed the old man a favor last time, I came back to take a look, and we'll talk about it later."

Then the communication frog said that Orochimaru had left.

After sending the communication frog back, Jiraiya asked the Third Hokage, "Old man, Orochimaru only said he would come back to see. What should we do?"

The Third Hokage looked very calm: "It doesn't matter. If he can come back, he will find that the village can provide him with more convenience."

Jiraiya shrugged. The recent Third Hokage made him feel a little strange. But it's good to not have to think about it.

"Where did Naruto go?" asked the Third Hokage.

"He went to Uchiha."

Jiraiya scratched his head. The Third Hokage asked him to keep an eye on Naruto and try to have a good relationship with Naruto so that he could take better care of the Nine-Tails and pass on the Will of Fire to Naruto.

As a result, Naruto is now extremely repulsive to Jiraiya. Not to mention being a master and apprentice, even being an ordinary friend is impossible.

"Tsunade protected Naruto and didn't let me go to Naruto. She also recognized Naruto as her brother."

When the Third Hokage heard that Tsunade actually recognized Naruto as her brother, he didn't know what he thought of, and a trace of fluctuation flashed in his eyes.

The third generation took a puff of cigarette: "Let's do this for now. With Tsunade taking care of it, I'll feel relieved."

"As for Tsunade being able to be closer to Naruto, there's no harm in that."

"Knock knock knock..."

There was a knock on the door.

"Hokage-sama, Mitarashi Anko wants to see you."

The third generation Hokage thought for a moment and nodded: "Let her in."

Anko pushed the door open and ran in, asking anxiously: "Third generation, I saw the village announcement as soon as I returned to the village."

"Teacher Orochimaru, are the things about Orochimaru... all true?"

Anko was wearing a khaki windbreaker, a short skirt, a fishnet lining, and a pendant around her neck.

The whole person's face flushed with excitement.

The Third Hokage nodded:

"Yes, the matter of Orochimaru was indeed framed by Danzo maliciously. Danzo has been arrested and imprisoned in the dungeon."

"As for Orochimaru, when Uchiha Natsuki succeeds as the clan leader this time, Orochimaru will return to the village."

"Orochimaru... is going back to the village?..."

Red Bean staggered and walked out absent-mindedly.

The Third Hokage took a puff of cigarette and didn't care about Red Bean's rudeness.

Red Bean has suffered a lot because of Orochimaru's betrayal of the village over the years.

Orochimaru once had great achievements on the battlefield, so it is naturally impossible for him to be alone.

Orochimaru has a large number of followers.

And when Orochimaru betrayed the village, some of these followers chose to leave Konoha with Orochimaru.

And the other part chose to stay in the village.

This part of the people who stayed behind actually didn't live well.

If they are capable, they will be monitored by the Anbu every day. If they are average in ability, they must also report to the Anbu regularly.

For these people, this is a kind of personal insult.

But there is no way, who let these people follow Orochimaru.

And Hongdou is a special one among them. She followed Orochimaru for a long time and was Orochimaru's disciple.

But when Orochimaru defected in the end, he did not take Hongdou with him.

Hongdou even lost part of her memory and thought that Orochimaru abandoned her.

So she had a love-hate relationship with Orochimaru.

It is no wonder that after Orochimaru was rehabilitated, Hongdou came to the Third Hokage to verify the news as soon as she received the news.

It can be said that Hongdou is just a representative of Orochimaru's old subordinates. Other people who once followed Orochimaru, I don't know what kind of feelings they have for Orochimaru now?

After all, some of them were abandoned by Orochimaru, and some of them chose the village instead of Orochimaru.

Now Orochimaru has been rehabilitated, making these people feel like a nobody.

Hongdou's thoughts are a little confused. When she suddenly heard the news that Orochimaru returned to the village, she didn't know how to face Orochimaru.

Missing the teacher? The resentment of being abandoned? Or something else?

She lost her memory and didn't even know that staying in Konoha Village was her own choice, not that Orochimaru abandoned her.

She didn't know how to face Orochimaru, but she had a hunch that Orochimaru would come to find her.

She stroked the curse seal on her neck.

"He will definitely come."

...

Late at night.

The Hyuga clan.

In the house of Hyuga Kaito, the fourth elder of the main family.

Hyuga Kaito was sleeping soundly.

He didn't know that something was eroding his body from his left leg after he recovered from the injury.

This erosion was very, very slow...

The progress is basically in months, and deep assimilation is going on every moment.

So even if Kaito has the Byakugan, he still doesn't know the condition of his body.

In this silent night, Hyuga Kaito's body, starting from his left leg, the skin under the skin is like a worm stirring inside, the membrane is slightly undulating, and then it goes up along the meridians.

Now these protruding meridians have spread to the neck.

But the higher they go, the slower the protruding meridians are.

After a night, the final position is still near the neck.

If you don't look carefully, you would think it is the same as yesterday, no change.

At dawn, the abnormality of Kaito's body disappeared completely.

After Kaito woke up, he didn't find any discomfort in his body, and stayed in the family as usual.

Although his body has recovered, because of what he did before, before Uchiha Xiamu came back.

Kaito has been under house arrest.

Now Xiamu is finally back, and he picked it up heavily and put it down gently.

Just let the Hyuga clan do some small things.

He completely pardoned Kaito's sins.

The entire Hyuga clan was very grateful.

Although Kaito is now released from the ban, the situation in the village is turbulent.

Kaito doesn't want to go out now, fearing that he will cause trouble for Hyuga.

However, Kaito's habit of supporting the younger generation remains the same as before, especially now that his body has recovered.

He even put aside his status and practiced actual combat with his nephews and nieces in the training ground.

As a genius back then, Kaito's actual combat ability is still good.

Moreover, Kaito retired from the battlefield, compared to the rookie who hits wooden stakes every day.

Kaito, who has seen blood, has even more actual combat experience.

It is rare to have such a good sparring partner, and Elder Kaito is very popular.

Whether it is the main family or the branch family, as long as Elder Kaito is there, there is always no shortage of opponents.

Kaito also accepts everyone who comes, and originally thought that he could only wait to die slowly in a wheelchair.

Kaito felt extremely lucky that he would have the chance to show off his skills.

And Daisuke Kaizaki and others who were close to him were the ones he had been training for a long time, and their strengths were rising steadily.

Gradually, they became the backbone of the family.
