Naruto: Damn!!! I am OP

"Hehehe... no need to hide it..."

Orochimaru noticed Shin lowering his head, seemingly trying to conceal his emotional fluctuations, and let out a somewhat hoarse chuckle. "Whether it's your performance in the Chunin Exams or your constant forbearance, your ambition is something you can't hide. The first time I saw you, I was sure of it; I just don't know what your ambition is."

"So, can you tell me what you desire?"

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Shin appeared somewhat flustered, but his heart was very calm. This was because he understood that Orochimaru was different from Danzo; his desire for control was far weaker than Danzo's, and he wouldn't mind his disciples or subordinates having ambition.

In fact, from Orochimaru's perspective, ambition was also an excellent quality, meaning stronger conviction and greater potential for cultivation.

Shin's body swayed slightly. After hesitating for a few seconds, he took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Orochimaru, his eyes gleaming.

"...What I want is power."

It was impossible to completely conceal himself in front of Orochimaru, so Shin had thought many times about how to handle this situation, which was to not conceal his ambition.

There were different ways to deal with different people. Shin had even considered many ways to deal with the worst-case scenario of being forced to join Root after falling into Danzo's trap.

"I believe Father's death was due to weakness. If one were strong enough, there wouldn't be a situation where one had to abandon a mission to save comrades; instead, one could achieve both!"

Shin's voice grew a little louder, his fists clenched, seemingly unable to contain his surging emotions.

It wasn't all a pretense.

This was indeed his inner thought; not a single word was a lie, and no one could find any flaws.

However, his goal was not just to surpass the White Fang of Hidden Leaf, but to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world, to stand at the top of the Six Paths!

"I see."

Orochimaru looked at Shin, a smile on his face.

Shin took a breath, as if recovering from a momentary loss of control, and looked at Orochimaru with a slightly uneasy expression.

"Your thoughts are correct."

Orochimaru interrupted Shin, his snake-like eyes gazing at him, revealing a smile that seemed to penetrate and bewitch hearts.

"With enough power, you can indeed achieve anything and deal with anything. No one would find such ambition wrong."

"Although you are still weak now, as long as you follow behind me and keep moving forward, you will become stronger and stronger. You will inherit the name of White Fang and surpass it."

At this moment, it would naturally be best to show some signs of emotion, but that could easily reveal a flaw. After all, he had already used the method of exposing his true thoughts to deceive Orochimaru, so if he failed now, the trouble would be significant.

So Shin showed a confident expression, taking a deep breath.

"Orochimaru-sensei..."

"Mmm-hmm-hmm, you are excellent, and you have great confidence. I also believe you can surpass your father."

Orochimaru showed a faint smile, somewhat conflicting with his image, seemingly a little sunny. "Then go and continue your training. If you have any questions, you can come back and ask me."

"Yes."

Shin respectfully responded and turned to leave.

After leaving Orochimaru's research base, Shin maintained a calm expression, but inwardly, he let out a long sigh of relief.

By deliberately revealing his ambition for power in front of Orochimaru, he would likely be safe for a short period. Such dangerous topics probably wouldn't come up again in the near future.

As for the long term...

He didn't need to consider that.

The Great Ninja War would begin soon, and once the war started, everything would revolve around it. During this war, which would last several years, he would continuously improve his strength.

As long as he was strong enough, capable of surpassing Orochimaru, and even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen, he would be able to handle any situation with composure.

"My next goal is Kage level!"

Shin's eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself.

...

Time flew by.

Another two months passed.

The Ninja Academy finally ushered in the graduation and team assignments for this group of students. Everyone, including Obito Uchiha and Might Guy, passed the graduation exam.

At this moment, at Shin's home, Kurenai was looking at the silver-haired boy sitting on the sofa with a hint of shock.

"That Sannin, Orochimaru-sama, actually took you, Shin, as his disciple?!"

In the Ninja Academy's graduation team assignment list, she hadn't seen Shin's name. In her astonishment, she came to ask Shin and received the news that Shin had become Orochimaru's disciple.

"Yes."

"Orochimaru-sensei doesn't seem to plan on leading a three-man squad."

Shin nodded with a smile. He knew what Kurenai was thinking—that after he became Orochimaru's disciple, he wouldn't be able to be assigned to the same team as her.

Actually, Shin was also a little regretful about this. In his initial plan, he would graduate normally, be assigned to a normal team, and become a normal Hidden Leaf genin.

Then he would happily and easily carry out genin missions, and also have the opportunity to foster feelings with the girl in his three-person team, truly experiencing the vitality and beauty of that age.

But accidents kept happening.

Now, the possibility of being assigned to a three-person team had vanished.

After the initial shock, Kurenai said with a slight hint of disappointment,

"Then there's no way I can be on a team with you, Shin..."

If it were other circumstances, she could try to ask her father to change the team assignments, but since it involved Orochimaru, it would be impossible to make any changes.

"Shizune was also taken as a private disciple by Tsunade-sama, you know."

Rin said, standing nearby.

Shin calmly said,

"So, it seems that Jiraiya-sama is the only one who hasn't taken a disciple."

Rin smiled sweetly and said,

"While Jiraiya-sama hasn't taken any disciples, his only disciple has taken disciples. Your brother, Kakashi, is one of them."

"Minato-sensei?"

Shin chuckled softly.

"Let me guess... the other two are you and Obito Uchiha."

Rin looked at Shin in surprise, saying,

"Shin, have you seen this period's team assignment list?"

"No."

Shin shook his head.

"Kakashi told me."

"I don't remember saying that."

Kakashi, who had appeared in the living room at some point, grumbled, then sighed,

"Why is it like this? A dead last, and a troublesome girl. This team feels like it's going to be even more problematic than before."

"..."

Being ruthlessly roasted by Kakashi, Rin showed a somewhat awkward smile.

Hearing Kakashi's comments that would surely lead to him being alone, Shin pouted, looked at Rin, and pointed a thumb sideways at Kakashi, saying,

"You heard that, Rin? He thinks you're troublesome, so you don't need to use medical ninjutsu on him anymore. Let him bandage himself."

"..."

Hearing Shin's words, Kakashi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Rin couldn't help but laugh at the sight, and looked at Kakashi, saying,

"I'll work hard to learn medical ninjutsu and won't be a burden."
