Control Time From Hokage

Chapter 172 Orochimaru’s Choice [3/7]

After Sarutobi Hiruzen’s voice fell, there was a brief silence in the conference room.

The selection of Fourth Hokage is a very serious and important topic. It is the change of power. It cannot be discussed casually. Every opinion needs to be cautious and cautious.

“I propose that my disciple Namikaze Minato should succeed Fourth Hokage.”

In silence, Jiraiya spoke slowly.

He glanced at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru sat there calmly, and did not respond to Jiraiya’s gaze.

Feng Ye was sitting at the corner of the table, holding a teacup in his hand, and gently sips it in his mouth. He didn’t speak, but just looked at the scene in the meeting room.

The meeting room was quiet.

The patriarchs of the major families did not speak, and no one whispered.

“Minato Jōnin is indeed suitable for Fourth Hokage.”

Finally the second person spoke, it was the consultant Mitokado Homura sitting next to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Following Mitokado Homura’s opening, Utatane Koharu also expressed support for Namikaze Minato, and then the elite Jōnin in the conference room also expressed their opinions.

However, some people did not speak. Their eyes were in the direction of Maple Ye and Orochimaru. Everyone knew the importance of Maple Ye and Orochimaru in this conference room.

Uchiha Fugaku is also looking at Kaedeya.

The patriarchs of other major families did not immediately express their positions.

And under everyone’s attention, Orochimaru stood up, smiled, and said, “…I support Minato Jōnin as Hokage.”

This sentence plunged the conference room into silence.

The patriarchs of the major families all looked at Orochimaru, and after seeing Orochimaru not showing any joking, they looked at each other, exhaled, and opened their mouths.

When the patriarchs of the major families also expressed their opinions, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru, and Orochimaru also looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, the two eyes met in the air.

Orochimaru smiled faintly.

The smile is very relaxed.

It seemed to let go of something completely.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyes flashed with guilt and apology, but it was only a flash, and then he took a breath, stood up, and said: “It seems that everyone’s opinions are the same. Will report Minato’s succession to Hokage to the master.”

After Sarutobi Hiruzen’s voice fell, Namikaze Minato also stood up and began to express to everyone in the conference room that he would definitely lead Konoha to prosperity and so on.

Feng Ye didn’t listen.

He just looked at Orochimaru.

“In the end, I still didn’t choose to contradict my teacher’s opinion…”

Feng Ye murmured in his heart.

He probably guessed why Orochimaru made this decision.

In this era, Namikaze Minato’s performance is indeed better than Orochimaru, winning more support, including Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Sarutobi Hiruzen supports Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru must compete for Fourth Hokage, it must be against Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Orochimaru gave up.

Not giving up in front of Third Hokage, but in front of the former teacher.

…

Hokage building.

top.

Orochimaru left the meeting room and came here, standing on the edge, where he could look around most of Konoha and see the village that was thriving again after the war.

“You still gave up…”

Kaedeya appeared behind Orochimaru.

Orochimaru did not turn around, but continued to look at Konoha below, and said, “Ms. Sarutobi chose Minato. I respect his choice just like you respect my choice.”

“In fact, Hokage is nothing, you see, just like those fallen leaves, withering in the flame… Compared to these, isn’t eternity the thing that humans should pursue?”

Orochimaru’s voice was very soft.

Feng Ye sighed.

He knew that Orochimaru at this time had completely put down Konoha and Sarutobi Hiruzen, and what he revealed now was the last trace of emotion.

The Orochimaru after that was the cold-kun Orochimaru that was truly terrifying and trembling.

“If you want to be Hokage, you can give it a try.”

Orochimaru turned around, and the gleam in the corner of his eyes disappeared in the wind. He looked at Feng Ye, smiled, and then his figure flashed and disappeared.

Kaedeya glanced at the enemy where Orochimaru had disappeared, then looked up to the sky.

“Hokage…”

Fengye did not choose to compete for Fourth Hokage.

It’s not because of being too young. These can be ignored in the face of absolute strength. There are only two reasons for him not to fight. One is because Kakashi is a disciple of Namikaze Minato, and the other is because he got it from Minato. Flying Thunder God Technique.

Although for him today, Flying Thunder God Technique is not difficult to get, and it is not a big favor, but Feng Ye will not oppose Namikaze Minato as a Hokage.

and.

He knows.

Namikaze Minato’s role as Fourth Hokage is just the beginning.

“I will not oppose you as Hokage, but I will not stand by your side. If Konoha finally cannot accept my existence, then it will be the beginning of my cleanup here.”

Feng Ye looked at the sky and murmured, then his figure flashed and disappeared.

…

Half a month later.

Recognized by the Daimyo of the Fire Country, and after completing the complete ceremony, Namikaze Minato succeeded Fourth Hokage, and it was officially revealed to the public of Konoha.

For this result, only a few ninjas who were loyal to Orochimaru expressed opposition, but after learning that Orochimaru also supported Namikaze Minato as Hokage, the opposition quietly disappeared.

Compared to last time.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen succeeded Hokage, there were many bloody conflicts within Konoha. This time Hokage’s succession can be said to be smooth and hardly any infighting.

On the day Namikaze Minato officially succeeded Hokage, Orochimaru did not show up. He was only doing experiments in his base. After learning this information, he only paused slightly.

“Such a result, you should be satisfied, Mr. Sarutobi…”

“but.”

“Konoha will probably not calm down.”

The current village is deformed.

Danzo Master only obeys his roots. The two consultants Master Konoha’s finances. Sarutobi Hiruzen will not give Anbu all to Namikaze Minato, and will continue to control Konoha.

It seems to be a balanced situation, but in fact, as long as a little something breaks the balance, it will overturn all at once.

And Feng Ye.

It is the unbalanced existence.

Orochimaru has seen this, but none of this has anything to do with him. His current goal is to obtain eternal life.
