"Whatever you want, the worst-case scenario is that we will find someone to take your place in the Akatsuki Organization."
"It's not me who will worry about it anyway."
Kisame spread his hands and looked at Payne not far away as if it had nothing to do with him.
"I don't need you to worry, Kisame~"
Orochimaru smiled and looked up - on the golden list in the sky,
The next moment, a new prompt appeared on the screen of the Golden List.
—— Orochimaru challenged the 6th place in the [Kage Ranking], Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
——The challenge field will open in 10 seconds, please be prepared; 10, 9, 8... 0, open the teleportation.
Within a second of the golden characters appearing, Orochimaru's figure turned into golden light and disappeared into the dark room.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Sunagakure, the home of Pakura.
"It's almost time, Guren, you can start preparing to challenge the Hokage of all dynasties on the golden list."
Lin Fan smiled and stroked Guren's smooth hair, and was about to continue to say something.
Suddenly, the large golden characters that appeared on the golden list caught his attention.
"Orochimaru challenges Hiruzen?"
"Interesting, to be on the challenge arena of the gold list at this time."
"Is it for the scheduled reward of '20 years of life', or is it for other purposes?"
Looking at the golden characters about 'Orochimaru Vs Sarutobi Hiruzen' on the golden list, Lin Fan's mouth turned up involuntarily.
"Teacher, what should I do?" Guren grabbed Lin Fan's hand and asked.
"Hehe, there is still time anyway, let's watch the fun first." Lin Fan laughed.
"Yes, since you have said so, teacher."
Guren nodded and looked at the figure of Orochimaru who had already appeared in the challenge arena. After a pause, Guren continued to ask:
"Teacher Lin Fan, if the guy with the long tongue wins against the Third Hokage, do I still need to challenge this Orochimaru?'
"That's a good question." Lin Fan touched his chin," Orochimaru is also interesting. "
"If he can really beat Hiruzen, leave the scheduled reward to him."
"But I think even he can beat Hiruzen."
"It's not easy to keep the scheduled reward of '20-year longevity' from other challengers."
In Lin Fan's view, even if the Third Tsuchikage Onoki does not challenge Orochimaru who won.
Among Konoha, there will be others who will challenge Orochimaru.
Tsunade, one of Konoha Sannin, may still have hyperphobia, so she won't be able to challenge for the Golden List.
But there is another Sannin Jiraiya, the possibility of his challenge to the golden list is very high.
"Hiruzen has fully revealed his battle intelligence on the battlefield of the Golden List."
"This Orochimaru may really be able to defeat him."
On the side, Pakura also expressed her opinion.
….
Somewhere in Konoha.
"This guy Orochimaru actually challenged Teacher? What is he thinking?"
Having returned to Konoha Village, Jiraiya, who was collecting new book materials somewhere, frowned tightly.
…
"This guy, Orochimaru, doesn't do things he's not sure about. Maybe, he already has the confidence to defeat the old man."
Tsunade walked behind Jiraiya and frowned as she looked at the golden list in the sky.
She got to Konoha Village at about the same time as Jiraiya.
However, neither she nor Jiraiya has any plans to participate in Konoha's current government affairs.
Even now Danzo is privately advocating the abdication of Hiruzen.
They both don't want to become involved in these matters.
Of course, although they have the strength to enter the challenge field of the Golden List, under the current circumstances, they have no plans to actually go to the Golden List Challenge Arena to fight.
But after seeing Orochimaru on the golden list challenge.
Tsunade and Jiraiya gradually had different ideas.
"Let's see first, if this guy Orochimaru really beats Sarutobi-sensei, then it's up to me to meet him."
"This time, I must have a good talk with him."
Jiraiya put away the notes in his hand and looked at Orochimaru in the sky with a serious face.
As for Jiraiya, not preventing Orochimaru from leaving Konoha Village is something he has always regretted.
He has also been looking for Orochimaru for many years.
But once Orochimaru doesn't want people to find him, there are thousands of ways that others can't find him.
Even Jiraiya, who was familiar with the anomaly, was the same.
