"Let's go, our work is done." Principal Stone watched Oyama and others walk into the base camp and stood still without moving.
John and the others naturally followed him and had no intention of entering the base camp.
The four of them each activated their own Sacred Tree bracelets and prepared to exit this timeline.
However, just when John was about to activate it, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man with fair skin in the distance, wearing a Konoha vest, eyes like snake eyes, and a demeanor that kept strangers away, walking out of a tent and glancing slightly in his direction as if sensing something.
Orochimaru?
John hesitated for a moment and suddenly shouted something to Principal Stone and the others who were about to disappear.
"Principal, please go back first. I want to stay here until the time limit."
"No..." Principal Stone disappeared without finishing his words.
Once the Sacred Tree bracelet is activated, it is irreversible. Even if he disagrees, he can't stop John. He can only see him again after reaching the upper limit of ten days each time he enters the Sacred Tree world.
After the three people left, John secretly apologized. He changed his mind temporarily after seeing Orochimaru, thinking that now there was a rare opportunity to get some benefits from the other party.
"I hope Uncle Snake won't be too willful. I don't want to die here."
John walked into the camp with a silent sigh.
Although Orochimaru in this time period has not rebelled against Konoha, nor has he colluded with Danzo to conduct human experiments, he does not have a good temper.
John was worried that he would be killed if he accidentally offended him. Orochimaru was really capable of doing this.
However, the risk is worth it compared with the benefits. There is no penalty for dying in the Sacred Tree world for the first time. John thinks it is worth a try. If he can benefit from Sannin, he will make a lot of progress.
The Konoha camp is very large, and no one pays attention to John when he is wearing Konoha clothes.
Although he had a simple plan, he didn't know where to go. At least he needed to find a place to live.
"Uchiha John." At this time, Nawaki came out of Orochimaru's tent and called him.
John immediately turned around and saw a very beautiful woman in her mid-twenties with blond hair and a striking figure next to him, and quickly bowed his head respectfully.
"Nawaki-senpai, Lady Tsunade."
"The brat from the Uchiha family?" Tsunade frowned, "Is the village already so short of people? They even sent ninja apprentices."
"Sister, don't say that. Uchiha John is very strong. He even killed a Rain Shinobi on the way here." Nawaki is very kind. He inherited Hashirama's character and is kind to everyone.
In contrast, when she was young, Tsunade had a bad temper and was prejudiced against the Uchiha clan, so she ignored John.
"I'm going to find Jiraiya, Nawaki, don't leave here without permission. The damn old woman Chiyo's poison is too tricky."
Tsunade shook her pair of rare big breasts and left. Nawaki smiled apologetically at John and spoke.
"Sister, she is like this. In fact, she is a very nice person. Don't worry about it."
"I dare not." John waved his hand, "Lady Tsunade has superb medical skills. She saved many people in the village from death. She is the senior I admire most."
Tsunade has Senju bloodline, and the Chakra is naturally much larger than ordinary people.
In addition, she pioneered medical Ninjutsu, and she also has strange powers. She is one of the strongest in the current ninja world.
Nawaki invited John to his tent, lit a fire, and poured him a glass of water.
"John, can I call you that?"
"Of course." John was eager to get closer to this person. This was the current crown prince of Konoha. After getting to know him, he could pass on one or two Ninjutsu to him and he would be prosperous.
"You are so easy to talk to. You are very different from other Uchiha." Nawaki seemed to be willing to communicate with John, sitting next to him with his chin in his hands and an innocent look on his face.
"I really miss the time my grandfather talked about when Uchiha and Senju lived in harmony, working hard to end the troubled times and build a village together."
"Yeah, I miss it too. The village is so uneasy now." John followed the trend and wanted to understand the current situation.
Although the general time is correct, some details cannot be understood by reading comics or anime in previous lives.
After all, this is the living world of Hokage, and you have to discover many things by yourself.
At this moment, he is looking at this sub-world with the mentality of playing an open game. It is quite interesting to explore freely and interact with the people here.
Nawaki was a little surprised after hearing his words, "John, do you really think so? You have no resentment towards our Senju clan?"
"Why should there be resentment?" John asked knowingly.
Nawaki's eyes darkened and he said: "The position of Hokage, many people in the tribe say that it was you, Uchiha, who were dissatisfied with Grandpa Second Hokage's decision and passed the position of Hokage to Lord Third Hokage."
"If it weren't for the current war, I'm afraid we would have started fighting among ourselves first."
"Many of my Uchiha contemporaries have broken up now and they no longer associate with me because of family ties."
Nawaki looked lonely. John knew that this boy had this kind of character and was not pretending, so he took the opportunity to increase his favorability.
"Don't be sad, am I also Uchiha? From now on I will be your friend, and we will lead the village towards a better future like our ancestors."
"John..." Nawaki was stunned after hearing this, and a prompt popped up on the personal panel in John's mind.
[Nawaki Senju's favorability +10, current favorability is 10]
It's only 10 points? This guy is cautious.
John narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Nawaki, who looked moved.
"Nawaki, you don't want to be friends with me? Do you dislike me for being weak?"
"Ah? No, no, of course I am willing to be friends with you." Nawaki quickly waved his hand to deny it.
Changing the relationship between Uchiha and the village is his goal, and building a good relationship with every Uchiha member is his plan.
However, after all, John came to the sub-world without any reasonable background, which made Nawaki, who had never understood him in depth before, wary.
This is the disadvantage of world-wide tasks. It is not as perfect as the main world. After all, the original intention of the Sacred Tree is not to allow entrants to stay here for a long time.
Seeing that there was no prompt on the panel, John immediately tried to play the emotional card and looked at Nawaki seriously.
"Since we are friends, we must help each other from now on. I, Uchiha John, value my friends the most. If I encounter danger, I am willing to bear it on your behalf, even if the cost is my life!"
[Nawaki Senju's favorability +20, current favorability is 30]
[Trigger temporary mission: Change the fate of Nawaki Senju]
[Mission reward: Senju's favorability +50, Tsunade's favorability +50, Orochimaru's favorability +30, Jiraiya's favorability +10, Danzo's favorability +10, Hiruzen Sarutobi's favorability -10]
[The favorability of all worlds is common, but after the end of the divided world, people in the main world will not remember your behavior, but will only have an inexplicable liking for you]
"Huh? There is indeed something wrong with the old Third Hokage!"
Looking at the panel prompts, John felt amused. It seemed that the inexplicable disappearance of the Senju clan in the original work had something to do with Hiruzen Sarutobi.
However, it is understandable that people have selfish motives after all. If the Senju clan remains at its peak, the Sarutobi clan will not be able to become the largest clan in Konoha.
As for everyone else except Danzo, John couldn't figure out why this old schemer was happy that Nawaki was rescued.
Moreover, this task is still difficult to a certain extent. Other entrants might be confused and unable to understand the meaning.
But he is the person who knows the whole plot. He knows that Nawaki will die in this war. In this way, the meaning of the mission is clear at a glance, as long as Nawaki does not die.
The current Orochimaru is not as crazy as he will be in the future. Everyone can sacrifice in order to pursue the meaning of life. He is still the future of Konoha and a person who works hard for the position of Hokage.
Of course, he must have a favorable opinion of Nawaki as his disciple, and it is a full 30 points, which is already a lot. After all, the B-level mission only has 20 points.
Needless to say, Tsunade's favorability level will definitely be high after her brother is rescued. A good relationship with her will have a huge impact on the future. This is the future Fifth Hokage.
Jiraiya's 10 points of favorability is better than nothing, and there will be other opportunities to increase it in the future.
"John, I'm so touched..." Nawaki was so moved by John's "true confession" that he shed two tears, which made John even more proud.
The purpose of taking the initiative to stay has been achieved, and the mission can be completed by rescuing Nawaki at the critical moment.
John has decided that the favorability of this group of people is more valuable than a B-level mission. It is really important for him to save Nawaki and complete this mission even if he uses his first chance of death.
