I have a restaurant in East Sakura

Looking at Danzo Shimura who was still unclear, Orochimaru didn't mind telling the matter more directly. Anyway, it was difficult to hide anything about the past and future of the Naruto world from him.

Especially after he mixed the natural energy between heaven and earth and gradually replaced pure chakra, his perception of the world was countless times beyond that of ordinary ninjas.

I learned more information and things than anyone imagined.

He even knew clearly that the former one of the founders of Konoha was not dead yet.

Unfortunately, that person's perception was too keen. Even after just observing for a while, he seemed to have suspicions, so Orochimaru had to give up the plan of monitoring.

But the guy next to him also looked familiar to Orochimaru, so maybe there will be more interesting things in the future.

There was a slight wave of excitement in the snake's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.

At this point in his life, apart from the goals in his heart, everything else is just a drama to watch.

And now, the competition for the position of Hokage is about to take place.

The corner of his mouth traced an arc, and Orochimaru's voice was hoarse and cold, ringing in Danzo Shimura's ears.

"The key is the record."

"No matter who the old man wants to push for the top position, he must choose someone with a good military record and convincing people. Even if the old man has the position of Hokage, this position cannot be 100% guaranteed for whoever he supports."

"In terms of other methods, Mr. Danzo, you and the old man are both 50-50, but in terms of publicity methods, within the village, you are more than one step behind!"

"With this weapon in hand, and the presence of the original Hokage Jounin, almost all Chuunin Jounin can be swayed by the old man's propaganda."

Hearing this, Danzo's expression also changed. Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen, he was indeed the same in all aspects. The key was to start the so-called propaganda machines under him after mastering the great cause.

That kind of ability to confuse people and incite public opinion is too powerful.

Among the three Hokages, the one who has the greatest control over propaganda and public opinion is definitely the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Of course, he is not only promoting it, but also giving real benefits to the villagers of Konoha. This is the reason why the ninjas of Konoha's Hokage series continue to grow and can compete with many ninja clans.

"So, when the old man wants to choose people, he must choose those who have strong records and are not too involved in the ninja clan. It is best to be jounin with a clean faction identity."

"It's better if you can easily be influenced by your personality."

After all, there were actually not many people Hiruzen Sarutobi could choose. During this period, there had not yet been a battle at Kannabi Bridge that would have allowed the Fourth Generation Eye to take over.

However, because he met the AB combination of Kumoyin Village, his combat power has now been revealed. After Orochimaru left and fought three battles on the battlefield, he began to stand alone.

It's just that at this time, although the Konoha Sannin have their own problems, they haven't disbanded yet. There is no shortage of high-end combat power, and there is Orochimaru, the cold lord.

Namikaze Minato hasn't completely risen to power yet.

It's just that his current identity and status are also regarded as the future shadow-level powerhouse of Konoha Village.

If Orochimaru hadn't mentioned it, Shimura Danzo wouldn't have remembered that there was such a person, and he would never have thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen would rather support a new jounin than let him rise to the top.

Anger suddenly burst out, and the remaining feelings of teammates were completely burned away by him.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, this old monkey."

With anger in his eyes, Danzo Shimura quickly noticed the key point in Orochimaru's words.

"So, I'm supposed to block these guys who are potential candidates, have enough track records?"

Looking up at Orochimaru, a glint flashed in his eyes.

"No, no, no, it's better to clear it than to block it."

"You want to help them, how can a candidate do that?"

"Doesn't this make the old man feel relaxed?"

"Let's bring in ten or eight candidates with similar records and clean identities."

"What do you think the old man will do?"

Upon hearing Orochimaru's method, Danzo's eyes suddenly brightened.

"The old monkey is probably going to have a headache because of this!"

"With so many people who can be promoted to the stage, it would take a lot of effort for him to even screen them."

"But this matter is only treating the symptoms. The key is to make Sarutobi Hiruzen speechless."

Seeing Danzo see the real key so quickly, Orochimaru nodded.

"So, Danzo-sama will achieve greater results next."

"Of course, the results are only the first step."

Looking outside the room, Orochimaru chuckled.

"Since there is propaganda in Konoha Village and the Fire Nation, Danzo-sama is not as powerful as the old man."

"What about outside the Fire Country? What about other ninja villages?"

"If I remember correctly, the purpose of establishing Roots is to target other countries and Ninja Villages, right?"

"After such a long time, it shouldn't be difficult to get those spies to promote something."

Danzo, who was deep in thought, still didn't understand.

Orochimaru continued slowly.

"Domestic flowers are never as fragrant as wild flowers."

"Danzo-sama, do you think a strong ninja recognized by Konoha Village has greater prestige, or a strong ninja recognized by the entire ninja world, which has greater prestige?"

Danzo suddenly clenched his fists and stood up.

"good!"

"I understand. As expected, you did not make a mistake when you came to Orochimaru."

"I have made a note of this favor. When you need those two conditions, just send someone to notify me!"

Vigorous and resolute is Shimura Danzo's current label, and it is precisely because of this style that many new generation ninjas on the battlefield, as well as hawkish jounin and chuunin, have turned to Shimura Danzo.

It can be said that the fact that he is now able to compete with the Hokage system is definitely not the result of Orochimaru's one or two empty words.

When fighting against the Mist Ninja Village in the Kingdom of Water, this overlord who was now vaguely known as the Dark Owl of Konoha actually started killing people.

Let them see the strength of Konoha's previous generations of strong men.

Growing stronger with age has become an inevitable symbol of Danzo Shimura.

This image will undoubtedly affect the results of the next Hokage election. As long as he can achieve a more outstanding record, suppress Hiruzen Sarutobi's suppression, and even counterattack to win the election results of the Hokage election, he really has a good chance. .

"These are considered evenly matched."

"I don't know how the old man will deal with it."

"However, with Namikaze Minato's talent, it would be a pity to die so early."

Not knowing what he thought of, Orochimaru sneered, and then he was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, the call from the Multi-World Restaurant sounded, which also made his eyes show a hint of surprise.

'This time it comes at the right time.'

With a thought, Orochimaru disappeared into the world of Naruto.

At the same time, underground a mile outside the research institute, a white weirdo also showed no signs of activity.
