Hinata was incredibly shy but also very happy inside. Finally, she called out, "Mom!"

At this time, Naruto was still training at Mount Myōboku, completely unaware that his mother had already bonded with Hinata.

The news of Naruto and Hinata being together in the future didn't spark much discussion. After all, Naruto wasn't that famous in the ninja world yet, known mostly as the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki and the son of the Fourth Hokage. As a result, people didn't care much about his personal affairs. More importantly, the third questioner had been revealed in the livestream.

Third Questioner: Orochimaru

Orochimaru was walking through the streets of the Sound Village when everything suddenly fell silent. He found himself standing in a void where he could only see the livestream and nothing else.

"Have I been chosen as the third questioner?" Orochimaru thought with great interest.

Not far away, Kabuto noticed that Orochimaru was surrounded by a barrier of light. After seeing the livestream, he immediately realized that Lord Orochimaru had become the third questioner. At this point, no one could contact Orochimaru, so Kabuto decided to wait nearby.

Tsunade: "The third questioner is Orochimaru? That guy's luck is really something—chosen out of so many ninjas!"

Jiraiya: "I'm curious, what kind of question will Orochimaru ask?"

Third Hokage: "Knowing Orochimaru, he won't ask a simple question."

Kabuto: "Lord Orochimaru's question won't be simple, so stay tuned!"

"What kind of question will Orochimaru ask?" Sasuke wondered.

Soon, Orochimaru came up with a question.

Orochimaru: "In the future war between the Akatsuki organization and the Five Great Ninja Villages, Kabuto uses Reanimation to resurrect Uchiha Madara. What role will I play in this war?"

Orochimaru asked this question out of concern for his future. Based on the information he had, it seemed that Sasuke would be fine, and Kabuto would use Reanimation to resurrect Uchiha Madara, but there was no mention of him. Naturally, he wouldn't directly ask if he would die in the future, so he cleverly phrased the question to possibly gain more insight into his future.

Tsunade: "Heh, what future could there be? He'll definitely die and become a mere bystander in the Pure Land!"

Jiraiya: "I agree. Orochimaru is the type who would definitely end up dead in the future!"

Kabuto: "Lord Orochimaru is incredibly powerful; he won't die so easily!"

Fourth Raikage: "I think the answer is simple. There are two possibilities for Orochimaru's future: either he's dead, or he's one of the instigators of the war, siding with the Akatsuki organization!"

Third Tsuchikage: "It's very possible that Orochimaru is one of the war's instigators."

Hidan: "Orochimaru is a traitor to the Akatsuki organization. There's no way we'd cooperate with him. If he shows up, we'll kill him!"

Nagato: "For a traitor like Orochimaru, the Akatsuki's policy is death. Hmph, if it weren't for other matters, he'd already be dead!"

"This question is quite interesting."

Ye Tian guessed that Orochimaru suspected his plan to take over Sasuke's body would fail and thus feared he would die. Hence, he wanted to ask this question in a roundabout way to learn more about his future. However, Orochimaru's fate would surely surprise everyone!

Then, Ye Tian began to answer the question.

Ye Tian: "Orochimaru will be a key figure in the future war, one of the saviors of the ninja world, and an ally and collaborator with the Five Great Ninja Villages. In the future, he will have a good relationship with Konoha!"

Everyone was stunned by this result.

Third Hokage: "This rebellious student of mine, who killed me, will have a good relationship with Konoha in the future?????"

Tsunade: "Ye Tian's answer is ridiculous. Orochimaru will become one of the saviors? And a future ally of the Five Great Ninja Villages?????"

Fourth Raikage: "Orochimaru is someone who opposes the Five Great Ninja Villages. How could he possibly be a savior? It doesn't add up!"

Kabuto: "???????"

Kakashi: "Orochimaru, such a sinister person, can't possibly be a savior. This answer has to be wrong!"

"I'll become a savior??? What kind of joke is this?!"

Orochimaru was dumbfounded because this answer was just too unbelievable. If the answer had been that he would die in the future, he might have believed it. But to say he would be a savior and help the Five Great Ninja Villages? That was hard to believe.

At this moment, Kumoko, Yaya, and Honghong were also wide-eyed in disbelief. They couldn't believe their master would give such an answer.

"Master, although I've never met Orochimaru, he attacked Konoha, killed the Third Hokage, and is currently an enemy of Konoha. How could he possibly be on good terms with Konoha in the future? And how could he become one of the saviors?" Kumoko asked, puzzled.

"Kumoko, remember, anything is possible in the future!" Ye Tian replied mysteriously.

"Alright then!"

Kumoko and Honghong nodded slightly, continuing to wait for the results. What if the master was actually right?

At this moment, the results were announced in the livestream.

"Congratulations to Ye Tian for answering correctly!"

Third Hokage: "?????"

Tsunade: "That guy who killed my teacher is actually a savior? Could it be that the Golden List made a mistake?"

Third Tsuchikage: "The Golden List can see through the past and future, so it's not impossible for Orochimaru to be a savior. Of course, he probably doesn't have the mindset of being a savior now, but something might happen in the future that changes his perspective. But if there's even a slight change in the future, Orochimaru might no longer be a savior, so don't get your hopes up."

Tsunade: "I don't expect anything from Orochimaru. I only believe in my own fists!"

Orochimaru: "I'm a savior? This answer is a bit far-fetched!"

Hidan: "Orochimaru, you as a savior is too funny."

Kakuzu: "If Orochimaru can be a savior, then so can I. That guy is even colder and more ruthless than me!"

Uchiha Itachi: "Regardless, the Golden List's answer is final and cannot be changed!"

"Orochimaru-sama, I'm surprised that the Golden List recognizes you as a savior!"

Kabuto walked over after seeing the light screen disappear and said calmly.

"It's just one possible future, nothing to worry about!" Orochimaru replied indifferently, seemingly dismissing the result without much thought.

But Kabuto thought more deeply.

In the future, he would use Reanimation to resurrect Uchiha Madara, who would likely be allied with the Akatsuki. This implied that Kabuto would be an enemy of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. But if Orochimaru was on the side of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, wouldn't that mean he would become an enemy of Orochimaru?

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to learn more and prepare for the future!" Kabuto thought to himself.

"Orochimaru as a savior? Ridiculous!"

Uchiha Sasuke sneered inwardly.

No matter what, he would not care about this future outcome. He had to increase his strength, confront Orochimaru, and ultimately kill him!!!

Tsunade: "Ye Tian has answered all three questions correctly, which means he's about to receive an unimaginable reward. But what exactly is this reward?"

Third Hokage: "It must be something extremely precious, more valuable than the first-place prize!"

Might Guy: "I'm so envious of Ye Tian. He always answers correctly and receives incredibly valuable rewards!"

Kakashi: "I'm also envious of Ye Tian, but envy doesn't help. We still have to work hard ourselves!"

"Wow, master is amazing, you even got this one right. Master is invincible!"

Kumoko raised her small hand and exclaimed.

Honghong looked at her master in shock, "Master, can you see into the future? Otherwise, how could you know everything?"

"Ahem, just think of me as being able to see into the future!" Ye Tian shrugged.

In reality, he was just a transmigrator who could roughly predict the general trends of the Shinobi World.

And from this, it was clear that the future trajectory of the Shinobi World was more or less fixed. It wouldn't drastically change due to the Golden List or his presence; only certain events might be altered, but the overall trajectory wouldn't be affected.

At this moment, everyone eagerly awaited Ye Tian's reward, and Ye Tian himself was also quite excited.

"I hope I can get an extraordinary treasure that will be really useful to me!"

Ye Tian secretly anticipated.

Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Tian's reward was announced.

In the Golden List livestream.

A treasure appeared in the image, though its name had not yet been revealed—just the image.

After seeing it, Ye Tian immediately made a guess.

"So it's this treasure; it really is incredibly valuable!!!"

Ye Tian murmured to himself.
