"It seems that our evaluation of this Orochimaru is still a little conservative."
Next to Hidan, Kakuzu nodded.
After seeing Orochimaru's performance, his original disdain for Orochimaru gradually dissipated.
Kakuzu claims to be a figure of the same era as Senju Hashirama.
Even if it's just a lie, this guy is from the Warring state period.
This is enough to prove that he is an arrogant person with strength.
Seeing that Orochimaru was able to summon Senju Hashirama now, how could it not surprise Kakuzu?
He asked himself if it was to replace himself with Hiruzen and fight Orochimaru.
He's not necessarily better than Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Hiruzen has at least the destructive Forbidden Technique.
But he did not have such a ninjutsu that could kill his enemy in one hit.
If the enemy were someone else, it would be fine, but if it was an existence like Orochimaru that was not easy to kill, Kakuzu felt that his ninjutsu might not be able to play a good role.
After Kakuzu's words were finished, the other Akatsuki members in the dark room nodded.
Except for Payne, people's evaluation of Orochimaru involuntarily is much higher.
'Orochimaru's power is really good.'
'If he is properly prepared, he may be able to play a good role.'
'However, this man's mind is too complicated.'
At this time, Nagato thought.
At this moment, Nagato was a little wary of Orochimaru in his heart.
After all, he is Jiraiya's partner. For Orochimaru, who is his teacher's partner, Nagato has a little more admiration in his heart.
Of course, it's just a little admiration.
If he really wants to fight, with Rinnegan at his disposal, he doesn't think Orochimaru will be his opponent.
Beside Payne, Konan glanced at the expressionless Payne.
After a little thought, she guessed what he was thinking.
Konan blinked and turned her head to look at the golden list projected on the ceiling.
Just in time to see Orochimaru and Hiruzen chatting over, and using the Kusanagi sword to end Sarutobi Hiruzen's life.
- Orochimaru Vs Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, winner Orochimaru!
—Orochimaru replaced the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen to become the 6th place in the "Kage Ninja List", and obtained the scheduled reward of 20 Years of Life potion!
——In view of Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's second fall on the "Kage Ranking", he will no longer have the right to continue the challenge!
"Um?"
Konan frowned slightly and muttered in her mouth:
"He no longer has the right to challenge the rankers after falling down the Kage Ranking for the second time?"
"This golden list actually has other restrictions."
Although there will be more restrictions on the Golden List, Konan has some guesswork in mind.
But after actually seeing such a golden text prompt, she was also very surprised in her heart.
After all, this also proves that it is impossible for a person to keep challenging the rankings by continuously fighting in the Kage Ninja Ranking.
"Heh. It's also to limit those Hokages who were planning on hoarding the scheduled rewards. "
Kakuzu crossed his arms and said coldly.
There was a hint of joy and ridicule in his eyes.
Seeing Konoha's ninja humiliated, how could he, who didn't have the slightest affection for Konoha, not be happy?
Not to mention, it was the disciple that Sarutobi Hiruzen taught himself that caused him to lose his qualifications.
For this kind of behavior of shooting himself in the foot, he is quite happy to see it.
Konoha Village, in the Hokage building office.
Hiruzen, who had just returned to the office from the Golden List Challenge Arena, looked at the Golden List in the sky with a blank expression on his face.
"No... no way, there is such a restriction?"
"Am I no longer able to challenge anyone on the Golden List?"
"Then what should I do with my 20-year-old life potion?!"
Originally, although Hiruzen had already lost, there was not much panic in his heart.
As long as he doesn't die, he can continue to challenge Orochimaru, after seeing his fighting style.
Hiruzen is confident that Orochimaru will be defeated.
However, now, the golden list directly denied him the right to continue to challenge the rankers.
How could Sarutobi Hiruzen not be stunned?
He does not believe in evil and wants to contact the golden list and challenge Orochimaru.
However, no reply was received.
He really can no longer continue to challenge people on the list!
