Chapter 81 (1/2)

Konoha's camp on the border of the Land of Grass.

Reading the order of Hiruzen, Orochimaru looked at Erase: ”It looks like Master Hiruzen believed me.”​​

Yeruashi spread his hands, ” No wonder they started asking about the source of my power, it's really too much for a ten-year-old child, thanks to the teacher for helping me explain and disguise.”

Orochimaru provided Hiruzen with information that he possessed some kind of Enhanced Speed-boosting Genome, but did not mention the power of time.

In fact, Yeruashi is not worried about revealing his ability to accelerate the flow of time, he only needs to hide the reverse flow of time, because relying on this ability can cope with almost any unforeseen situation.

Orochimaru carefully concealed information about the power of time on his own initiative.

Yeruashi has a rough idea of why Sannin did this, probably doesn't care if Hiruzen finds out about it, but he wanted to hide the time ability from Danzo.

Orochimaru has always secretly collaborated with Danzo, and understands perfectly well how he will act after learning about the ability of time, so he decided to hide it.

”Without examining your body to a certain extent, it will be quite difficult to link your strength to time manipulation...In fact, even if the time ability is revealed, the enemies still won't be able to find a special way to suppress it, I used the Enhanced Acceleration type Genome as a cover to avoid attention from certain individuals and causing unnecessary trouble.”

Orochimaru explained his actions.

Communicating with Yeruashi all this time, Orochimaru realized that he does not think like a ten-year-old child, but rather like a m.a.t.u.r.e and reasonable shinobi, so Sannin did not worry that the student might not understand the essence of this issue.

Hearing these words, Yeruashi sighed a little helplessly, if Orochimaru was just protecting his student and wasn't interested in his improved genome, it really could be a very touching scene.

Sannin's thoughts were obvious.

In fact, there is not much difference in the ability to accelerate the flow of time and in the improved genome type of acceleration, it is in any case nothing more than acceleration. In other words, the methods of counteracting shinobi of the speed type are also effective against Yeruashi, so in this regard, the impact of exposure will be small.

Just exposing an ability can cause completely unnecessary trouble, and by” certain personality ” is clearly meant Danzo.

”Ah, Senior Danzo has always taken a keen interest in me.”

Erase shook his head: ”When I started to reveal my talent, he tried to get me into his Root.”

Given the current strength of Erase, it is no longer necessary to hide from Orochimaru too much, not to mention the fact that now they are definitely on the same side.

Orochimaru nodded: ”Danzo has always shown an increased interest in the young and talented Shinobi of Konoha, for this person there are only goals that need to be achieved, and there are no limits or rules. If you had discovered your talent too early, it is very likely that you or your brother would have fallen into his clutches.”

”I think so too.”

Erase agreed with the teacher, and continued: ”This old man should still be targeting me, but in times of war, he can't act too lightly.”

Orochimaru smiled wryly: ”It's unnecessary to worry too much about this, Teacher Hiruzen will not allow Danzo to do whatever he wants, especially with regard to you...But the current village system is slowly rotting away, I will definitely make some reforms if I can become the Fourth Hokage.”

After this event, Orochimaru understood that the student is now completely on his side, at least until the change of power in Konoha, so he was not averse to express his opinion about the current Konoha.

”I will support the teacher.”
