He returned to Konoha and assumed the identity of the Fourth Hokage, which was also recognized by the daimyo.

At the same time, he also brought back the exciting news that Konoha's allocation has increased by 50%.

Suddenly, Konoha's recovery speed after the war was greatly improved again, and at the same time, many of Toner's construction and transformation of Konoha could be better realized.

What happened in the capital of the Land of Fire did not reach Konoha, so when everyone in Konoha learned the news, they were shocked and mixed with joy.

The first thing after returning to Konoha was to pick out twelve stronger ninjas from the root ninjas and rush to the capital of the Land of Fire.

It is euphemistically called the Daimyō who protects the Land of Fire.

It was also from this moment on that the organization that protected the Twelve Ninjas officially became a thing of the past.

At the same time, from now on, all the information about what the Fire Country Daimyo does every day, who he meets, how many times a night, whether he can do it, etc. will appear on Toneri's desk regularly every day.

In the next period, there were a lot of small things, but nothing major.

What people are most concerned about is actually the ninjas stationed by Konoha at the border of Yuno Country and when the Kumo ninjas are going to end this war.

Toneri also tried to contact the current Fourth Raikage Ai, but no matter what, he could not get a positive answer, as if he was particularly dissatisfied with the result.

This resulted in the need to keep a thousand Konoha ninjas and a strong man to guard there at all times.

However, in the Land of Taki and the Land of Rain, the Konoha ninjas who were on guard against the Iwa Ninja and the Sand Ninja could retreat.

The originally deserted Konoha gradually became lively again.

There have been many things going on with Toneri, the Hokage.

The only good thing is that there is a shadow clone, the ninjutsu, and Nara Shikaku, the wage earner.

During this time, Toneri devoted himself to experiments with his teacher Orochimaru.

Because of Toneri's intervention, Danzo did not fully tell the contents of Orochimaru's experiments. Sarutobi Hiruzen was no longer Hokage, so he was no longer willing to care about what Orochimaru's experiments were.

As long as he didn't harm anyone in Konoha, he would turn a blind eye.

Because Toneri participated in Orochimaru's experiment, he would naturally not be given the opportunity to do anything to the people of Konoha.

In the original work, part of the reason why Orochimaru directly used people from Konoha for human experiments was because at that time Sarutobi Hiruzen had given up on choosing him to succeed Hokage, so he simply broke the pot. The worst he could do was to be found defecting.

On the contrary, it makes you feel freer.

The other was because Danzo was among them and kept instilling various ideas into him. In addition, in the eyes of Orochimaru at that time, there was not much difference between Konoha ninjas and ninjas from other villages. They were all just

Just one person.

But it's different now.

Toneri did not prohibit Orochimaru from conducting human experiments, and even strongly supported Orochimaru in conducting human experiments because he knew that science has no upper limit.

Since the experiment he cared about most was not banned and was strongly supported, Orochimaru gave up the idea of ​​defecting.

They also failed to do experiments and ran out to start from scratch. How could it be more comfortable to develop under a big tree like Konoha?

His disciple is the Hokage, and he is also a scientist. He strongly supports his experiments and provides various resources.

Don't get too comfortable.

So during this period, after Orochimaru helped Toneri become the Fourth Hokage, he dived into the root laboratory.

His own laboratory is not as complete with various equipment as Gen's laboratory, and the information is also richer than Gen's.

In this way, Scheren directly gave him the empty title of deputy leader of Genbu. Anyway, whatever he wanted, Genbu would provide it.

But he won't be a ninja from Konoha, nor a resident of the Land of Fire.

Either they had captured a large group of rain ninjas before, or they were good resources.

Anyway, there are many small countries around, and many of them are at odds with Konoha, such as Taki Country, and in Rain Country, these are all resources that can be used.

Toneri will also conduct experiments with Orochimaru whenever he has free time.

The two of them have actually maintained their most ideal model until now.

This is probably something they themselves have not thought of.

Originally, Orochimaru had already thought of defecting, but who knew that the situation in Konoha suddenly changed drastically.

"Teacher Orochimaru, is there any progress this time?"

Toneri came to the laboratory at the deepest part of the root, put on a white coat very accustomed to it, and walked in.

Only Orochimaru was seen immersed in experiments.

After hearing Toneri's words, Orochimaru immediately turned around and looked at him with eyes full of eagerness, as if he had seen some precious experimental materials.

Stick out your tongue and lick your lips gently.

Because he has been conducting experiments underground for a long time, his skin looks paler, but the enthusiasm on his face is growing day by day.

A hoarse voice sounded, "Jun Sheren, you would never have imagined that your body hides more than just the two things you mentioned."

Hearing this, Shiren was stunned.

He walked quickly to Orochimaru, picked up the report he put on the table, and started to read it.

No matter what, a person's power is always limited, especially in this kind of scientific research.

He knew how much he weighed, and many scientific research results were based on Orochimaru's research results, with some supplementary adjustments, and after many attempts, he made adjustments.

If he was really left alone, he might not have a clue, or he wouldn't be able to find a point of entry.

In order to continue to improve his body and fuse many Senju Hashirama cells, he needs the help of Orochimaru to make it smoother.

So Toneri provided Orochimaru with his own body cells.

"A large part of my current strength is due to the cells of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama and the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. And it is precisely because these two energies have reached a balance in my body that I can

coexist."

Looking at the scroll, he once again told Orochimaru about the situation inside his body at this time.

He had no intention of hiding this from Orochimaru.

First, because of his intervention, Orochimaru's current character does not have a high desire for power. He is more interested in exploring the truth and the nature of things, which is a scientist's desire to know the truth.

But this scientist is a little bit crazy.

The second reason is that Orochimaru didn't realize how much power would help him.

Strength, now his strength is not weak in the entire ninja world, just for experiments, it is enough.

Even Orochimaru in the original work is more of a pursuit of eternal life.

Before he left Konoha, he had actually almost figured out how Senju Hashirama's cells combined with human cells.

I also know that the Senju Hashirama cells and the Uchiha clan's Sharingan restrain each other.

But he never used it on himself, not even once.

Because he is actually very proud, and he does not look down upon the power of Senju Hashirama and the power of Uchiha.

It was not until later, when he was defeated by the Mangekyō Sharingan of Uchiha Itachi, who was many times younger than him, that he realized how terrifying the power of the Uchiha clan was.

But even so, what he is pursuing is the most perfect way to obtain Sasuke Uchiha's body, not transplanting the Sharingan.

However, he gradually became lost in the pursuit of Uchiha's power. It was not until the Fourth Ninja War that he finally understood his true intentions and gave up the pursuit of power.

After the Fourth Ninja War ended, because of the support of Konoha and Naruto, he devoted himself to scientific undertakings.

In one fell swoop, Konoha's scientific power surpassed the entire ninja world, and it even created powerful artificial humans.

Therefore, Orochimaru is not actually a person who pursues excessive power, especially before he has experienced the power of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan head-on.

Coupled with the support of Sheren, I entered that kind of crazy experiment in advance.

And Toneri also has great trust in Orochimaru.

If there was anyone in Konoha whom he trusted the most, it was Orochimaru.

Because whether it is Minato, Kushina or Nara Shikaku, they all have a strong balance in their hearts, they know right and wrong, and they also know right and wrong. If Toneri does something that is unreasonable and unreasonable that they cannot agree with, then they will also

Will choose to stand on the opposite side of others.

But Orochimaru is different.

Just when Toneri forced Sarutobi Hiruzen to step down, he could already clearly feel that Orochimaru really treated him like his disciple. If he had chosen to defect at that time, Orochimaru would definitely follow him.

This is an indescribable feeling. It may be the relationship cultivated by doing experiments together for a long time, or it may be because Toneri is currently the only person in the entire ninja world who can share a common language with Orochimaru and wants to use values. Of course

Or maybe it's just because Orochimaru is his teacher.

It's a bit like the feeling that during the Fourth Ninja War, Orochimaru took Sasuke's choice as the direction of his actions.

Now he is almost taking the choice of sacrificing others as his direction.

Of course, he would never give up on eternal life.

Orochimaru stood next to Toneri, watching with interest as he continued what was recorded in the scroll.

As expected, Orochimaru saw the surprise in Toneri's eyes, which could even be said to be shock.

"Teacher Orochimaru, is this true?"
