Leaving aside whether he can fight again, just being able to live like a normal person.
This is what many disabled people dream of.
Although the cost of cloning is still very high.
However, as Orochimaru's research progresses, the cost will inevitably decrease.
Orochimaru's contributions were enough to secure him the position of Hokage.
Jiraiya thought for a moment and asked, "Old man, are you planning to let Orochimaru succeed you?"
The Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya and asked, "What do you think?"
Jiraiya laughed and said, "I have no objection. Orochimaru's research can indeed help many people."
Even the seemingly carefree Jiraiya, as seen by the Third Hokage, knew that Jiraiya had no interest in the position of Hokage.
"That's good. If Orochimaru becomes the Fifth Hokage, will you come back?"
Jiraiya shook his head and said, "We'll see. After all, I don't know if we can find them."
"Alright, when do you plan to set off?"
Jiraiya, concerned about the prophecy of the chosen one, said, "I will go to Kawasaki first, and then set off immediately."
Konan's previous visit was at Kawasaki's invitation, and Kawasaki was also the first place Jiraiya thought of.
The third generation nodded and said, "I understand. Come back soon."
In the Uchiha clan's territory.
Kawasaki created a shadow clone to join Nagato and the others.
He himself remained with his clan.
It's not because Nagato and the others aren't important.
He alone has the privilege to access dream cultivation.
Whether it's perfecting Susanoo or practicing the rebirth of a self.
Every single one of these actions was a massive drain on his time and energy.
Cultivating in dreams requires no cost; Kawasaki neither needs to recover his physical strength nor his eye power, which saves him a lot of time.
As for the minor inconvenience of time synchronization, it's practically negligible in comparison.
Kawasaki has received word that the Third Hokage will hold a meeting this afternoon.
Most of the discussions revolved around the war in the Land of Water.
Just then, Iori came to report:
"Clan leader, Lord Jiraiya requests an audience."
"Oh?"
Kawasaki was quite curious about Jiraiya's purpose in coming here.
"Where are the others?"
Yizhi replied, "I have been led to the reception room."
Kawasaki responded, after all, as one of the Legendary Sannin, he couldn't just leave them waiting outside.
"Understood, I will go immediately."
...
Kawasaki entered the conference room and immediately saw Jiraiya all dressed and ready to go.
"Oh ho ho, it's Jiraiya-sama who has graced my humble abode with his presence."
Kawasaki made a joke, but his face showed no sign of joy.
After all, Jiraiya had been the Third Hokage's right-hand man before.
It seemed strange to greet him with a smile.
Jiraiya was slightly embarrassed; in fact, he didn't want to do those things.
But he was even more unwilling to see the Uchiha clan turn against Konoha.
Kawasaki appeared indifferent, but he was secretly making plans.
With Pain's reputation soaring lately, the Third Hokage is probably getting restless.
Jiraiya's trip was probably to find Konan and the others, as he still regarded Nagato as the child of prophecy.
"Kawasaki, you must have heard about the recent battle in the Land of Water."
Kawasaki tilted his head back, showing no intention of cooperating, and said, "Did I hear that? Oh dear, I can't remember, I forgot."
Jiraiya could only smile wryly and say, "Kawasaki, stop joking. I want to ask, do you know where Konan and the others are right now?"
really.
Kawasaki stroked his chin; Jiraiya had indeed come to find the three.
However, Nagato and Konan have no intention of seeing Jiraiya again.
Kawasaki snorted coldly, remained silent for a moment, and then replied impatiently:
"I don't know much about her; Xiao Nan contacted me on her own initiative."
“They haven’t had any contact with me since the last incident.”
"But we can be sure that Konan and the others should be in Amegakure."
"That's all the information I have. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't see you off any further."
After saying that, Kawasaki left.
Jiraiya was humiliated, but with his thick skin, this matter was naturally no problem for him.
Besides, he felt that Kawasaki wouldn't deceive him.
Since Kawasaki had already left, Jiraiya had no choice but to give up.
.....
Within Konoha Village.
In the conference room.
Apart from Fugaku, who was busy cloning the eyes, all the other elders had arrived.
Everyone had already been notified.
This meeting is very likely related to the sudden conclusion of the war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure.
And the recent movements of the Uchiha clan.
Undeniably, the Uchiha clan has been riding high lately.
Because of the war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure, the Third Hokage was unwilling to antagonize the Uchiha clan at this time.
The title of Honorary Elder was specially bestowed upon Uchiha Kawasaki.
Kawasaki took advantage of the fact that the third generation was unwilling to engage in direct conflict to carry out extensive activities.
They bribed various ethnic groups with large sums of money.
Even Kakashi was not exempt; the Hyuga clan was also won over.
In recent days, rumors detrimental to the Third Hokage have been circulating throughout Konoha Village.
The Third Hokage, however, handled the situation effectively.
Instead of refuting these rumors, they did not.
Instead, they made Orochimaru's cloning technology public.
Chapter 195 Orochimaru! Tsunade-neechan!
Orochimaru, whom everyone used to avoid.
Now everyone is vying to see him.
Many disabled Jonin are hoping for physical recovery.
The family also longs for them to return to the front lines and serve the family.
Orochimaru was very warm towards these people.
After all, they volunteered to become cloning test subjects.
If the clone mutates, Orochimaru will have to pay out of his own pocket to try again.
This is tantamount to paying money to provide Orochimaru with experimental subjects.
Although Orochimaru loses millions of resources with each defeat.
But the value created by enabling a disabled Jonin to be reborn far exceeds this.
In the end, a happy ending was achieved for everyone.
Orochimaru's prestige in the village is growing day by day.
Many speculated that the third generation might have some new plans at this meeting.
The Third Hokage tapped his pipe and said:
"The war between Kumogakure and Kigakure suddenly ended."
The ninja world may enjoy peace for the time being.
Some of the previous preparations can be put on hold for now.
The Third Hokage cast a meaningful glance at Uchiha Kawasaki.
"In recent years, I have felt that my energy is not as good as before, and I am unable to handle the various political affairs of Konoha."
"I have decided to formally elect the Fifth Hokage!"
