Konoha, outsiders can also be Hokage

When this topic was brought up, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo suddenly fell silent.

It's ridiculous. Launching a line of candidates for the next generation of Hokage is a good idea acceptable to all parties, but the two in front of them are somewhat inappropriate.

After a moment of embarrassment, Danzo was the first to speak, "I think Orochimaru is very good. In terms of strength, prestige, and command ability, he is one of the best in Konoha. If you give him another chance, in 5 years, he will definitely become A great Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Although Orochimaru is not bad, he is somewhat lacking in personal strength!"

At this time, Orochimaru was not the master of forbidden arts in later generations. Although the Five Elements Ninjutsu was the true inheritance of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Five Elements Ninjutsu was not enough to deal with ordinary ninjas. Shinwa Wooden and Tailed Beast Tama , Susanoo and other top ninjutsus seem a bit weak in comparison.

Orochimaru's snake-type ninjutsu is also considered unique, but in the final analysis, this thing is just a variant of necromancy. If you want to rely on this little trick to gain a foothold among Konoha Kage-level powerhouses, I'm afraid it's not enough.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and walked slowly to the window, many candidates flashing through his mind.

"Tsunade can't do it, her identity is too sensitive!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said thoughtfully, excluding another disciple.Seeing the two people opposite him nodding at the same time, he added, "What do you think, Jiraiya!"

The two of them thought of the little white-haired guy who liked to spy on women's bathhouses at the same time, and they couldn't help but shudder. If Orochimaru has the true inheritance of Sarutobi Hiruzen's ninjutsu, then Jiraiya also has a side with women and obscenity. Not to mention too much.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Sarutobi Hiruzen's head was covered with black lines. He also knew that Jiraiya was unreliable, but there really were no good candidates nowadays.

"After the war with the Kingdom of Thunder ended some time ago, Jiraiya returned to Mt. Myoboku to intensify his training for a period of time. According to him, he has now mastered senjutsu!" Sarutobi Hiruzen felt quite proud when he said this.

This is celestial magic, one of the two great treasures of the first Hokage, Hashirama-sama!

Danzo's face was a little gloomy. He didn't expect that the cheerful guy had grown to a point where he couldn't even handle it.

Hashirama-sama's Senjutsu Danzo has been witnessed with his own eyes. There is no doubt that at this time, he felt like a mirror. In terms of frontal combat effectiveness, Jiraiya has already surpassed him by a large margin.

"No!" Danzo voted against, "We can't just look at strength. In the Second Ninja War, although the three of them commanded the battlefield of Rain Country at the same time, the final decision-maker was Orochimaru and Jiraiya. You also know his character, are you really relieved to hand over Konoha to him?"

Of course, Danzo did not vote against it because of his personality. Unlike Orochimaru, Jiraiya has never expressed ambition for the position of Hokage. If he becomes Hokage, all power will be in the hands of the Third Hokage. ?Then how long will it take for you to take over?

"This won't work, that won't work either. What do you think I should do? Should I ask you to do it in person?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little angry. Each of the three disciples had their own shortcomings, which he naturally understood, but relatively speaking, Jiraiya was more It was easier to control, so he wanted to push it down to the front desk.

It's not impossible, Danzo secretly complained in his heart, but unfortunately he couldn't express it clearly.

Mito Kadoen, who had been silent at this time, suddenly suggested, "I heard that Jiraiya's apprentice is practicing Flying Thunder God recently? Do you think it is possible for him?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes suddenly lit up. He had seen that little guy named Namikaze Minato. He was sunny, cheerful, and talented in ninjutsu. He ranked first in the final exam every year in the ninja school.

His physical talent was also outstanding. According to records, his parents should have been a branch of the Senju clan, but they died on the battlefield a few years after the separation and had no connection with the main Senju clan.

The family background is clean, he is a direct descendant, and the key is that he is young, which is suitable for him to help for a few more years. The more he thinks about Sarutobi Hiruzen, the more satisfied he becomes.

Now Minato Namikaze is 12 years old, but his strength has already caught up with the special jounin, and Shinnosuke is 14 years old. The two are considered peers, and with their own help, Minato Namikaze will not be left behind too much in terms of credit.

"Yes, but first he must learn the art of Flying Thunder God!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "If he is not strong enough, everything is false. It is impossible for us to launch a waste to face the powerful Uzumaki clan!"

Shimura Danzo asked anxiously: "How can you put the treasure on a 12-year-old child?"

He naturally has his own little thoughts, so Orochimaru is fine. This guy is a gloomy person at first glance. After many years of observation, Orochimaru is completely a madman who has been suppressing himself for the sake of being the Hokage.

When he becomes Hokage, he can use any means. This can be seen from the fact that he did not care about the casualties of Konoha ninjas in order to win on the battlefield of Rain Country.

When the time comes, if I stand up to correct the chaos, won't the position of the Fifth Hokage be within easy reach?

But if Sarutobi Hiruzen really did what he said and let a young boy like Namikaze Minato become Hokage, then he would have no chance at all.

Now Minato Namikaze is only 12 years old, and Shinnosuke Uzumaki is only 14 years old. Whenever the two of them ascend to the position of Hokage, they can continue to work for many more years. How can he have a chance?

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about the beauty. Namikaze Minato became Hokage in his 20s, and he would be in his 50s by then. He helped him get on the horse and gave him a ride. It would be 60 years since he arrived in Konoha. It was time for him to retire in his 60s.

"I think it's better to put Orochimaru and Namikaze Minato side by side, otherwise the other party will really think that we have no one!" Danzo's seemingly mature and solemn speech made Mito Kaden who had nothing to do with him couldn't help but nod.

To be honest, it is a bit difficult to just skip the Sannin and choose the next generation. It is a bit difficult to expect a 12-year-old child to lose his mind and become a genius without growing up. It would be a waste to invest a lot of resources and die in the middle. Big loss.

Are there still few ninjas like this in Konoha?The rope tree is still lying in the main house of Senju.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded thoughtfully, but he didn't want to give up like this, "Then do as you say. Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru are both our next-generation candidates, but Orochimaru still needs to be suppressed. Sharpen his temperament, if Minato Namikaze learns to fly the Thunder God, we will build momentum for the two of them, if Minato Namikaze does not grow up, we will invest all resources in Orochimaru!"

Danzo and Mito Kaden looked at each other and nodded. Sarutobi Hiruzen's proposal was good and in line with the interests of all parties.The old guys can still work for a few more years now, and the young people should wait for a while.

Just when the two were about to leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Duanzo is staying, and it just so happens that my future arrangements for Orochimaru are related to you."
