Naruto Orochimaru: I must win this time

The sound of the door opening brought Orochimaru back to his senses, and when he looked up, a familiar figure came into view.

Orochimaru glanced at the visitor with emotionless eyes, and then began to sort out the pile of information on the table.

"Orochimaru has done well recently!"

Danzo, who was holding a cane in one hand and a piece of information in the other, walked in slowly. As a disciple of the third generation, Orochimaru pushed him out. It was indeed a good move.

Putting the information in front of Orochimaru, it was the voting data about the election for Hokage.

Although Danzo was a little unwilling to withdraw from the Hokage campaign, the deal was already done. He had no hope and could only count on Orochimaru.

Judging from this week's data, Orochimaru's performance really surprised him, and he thought to himself that I had indeed seen the right person!

Orochimaru just glanced at it and ignored it. He had received all the rewards and was just going through the process of running for Hokage.

If he hadn't agreed to Danzo, the old thief, to stand up for the election, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to these nonsense things.

"Is this why you came here?"

Realizing that Orochimaru was completely unimpressed, Danzo's originally smiling face turned gloomy in an instant. The person involved in the relationship was not interested, and he was still too busy to do so.

"Orochimaru, this is a matter of running for Hokage! I hope you can take it seriously!"

Danzo said with a gloomy expression, his tone more or less reproachful.

If Orochimaru becomes Hokage with his support, not to mention becoming his puppet, at least his own interests can be maximized. Danzo's hands are stained with blood, but Orochimaru is not much better either. The two of them can Said they were people on a boat.

But the premise is that Orochimaru can be successfully elected, so we should pay more attention to it at this time.

"As long as you work harder, you can surpass your biggest competitor Namikaze Minato. Huh! How can a young, yellow-haired kid compare with you!"

Danzo began to chatter in Orochimaru's ears, completely regardless of what Orochimaru thought.

"This is the historical Hokage information I found for you, take it and study it."

Apparently Danzo had also collected the contents of Orochimaru's lectures and was currently courting him.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

Orochimaru was not used to his habit of treating himself as a gun user, and he said in a ruthless tone.

"I don't mean that...!"

"Don't slander my nephew in front of me in the future! I will do things well naturally, so don't come here to point fingers!"

Danzo was a little angry for a moment after being interrupted, but now that Orochimaru was in the limelight, he was still a tool to take advantage of, but it was not the time to fall out.

"I just admire your attitude towards doing things, your principle and ambition."

Not to mention that outsiders didn't believe these words, even the people involved scoffed at them, but Danzo actually ate his ramen with the noodles down, and he was really open-minded.

After asking about the progress of the experiment again, Danzo walked out of the laboratory feeling refreshed, and the root ninja guarding the door quickly followed behind him.

After looking forward to it for so many years, now he felt that he was one step closer to becoming the Hokage, which made him involuntarily come over to show his courtesy.

On the other hand, many people also knew that Orochimaru came out to run for Hokage.

The news has spread among the ninja circles, ranging from elite jounin to newly graduated genin.

"Minato, I heard that Orochimaru is also running for Hokage?"

The only one who was concerned about this matter was Jiraiya. He knew Orochimaru's character and also understood his thoughts relatively well.

Orochimaru has always shown no interest in things like Hokage. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. It is definitely unusual to stand up and canvass for votes at this time.

You can tell with your butt that there is someone behind him. You can get a rough idea of ​​who it is by checking which force in Konoha he has been close to recently.

"It seems so. I see a lot of people are talking about it, but I don't know the details."

This matter is all handled by the Hokage, and he doesn't care much about these things. He just needs to do his own thing.

"You said that if Orochimaru wanted to be Hokage, wouldn't he have told the old man earlier? Is there any need to compete with you at this time?"

Jiraiya smelled a conspiracy from this incident. If Orochimaru really had that intention, he would have stood up and waved his hand during his peak years, and his followers would have gathered long ago.

The Hokages all came out to run for office in their early twenties like Minato. I think they were not even twenty-five when the Sannin became famous. At that time, their fame and strength were developing at a rapid pace.

How could someone like Orochimaru come out and say he wants to run for Hokage in his thirties? How could he make such a fuss? What did you do early?

This matter was unusual inside and out, and Jiraiya vaguely thought that it was a political game between the top leaders of Konoha. If that was the case, he would have no way to interfere.

Don't look at them as the famous Sannin, look at the Konoha White Fang. In the power struggle, these ninjas are just tools in the hands of some people, and heroes are no exception!

Only when Konoha encounters major events, they, Konoha's elite jounin, and the heads of major families are qualified to participate in Konoha's power hierarchy.

As for normal times...you have to take tasks after tasks, and you have to obey orders when you need to do it. When you need it, you can call it and go away.

"Don't worry about this. Your uncle has no choice but to do it. Just do your job well."

Jiraiya explained to Minato that he was afraid that this disciple would have random thoughts. After all, Orochimaru was an elder, so it would not be a honorable thing to stop him at this time!

"Haha, of course I won't blame Uncle Master. If Uncle Master really wanted to be Hokage, he would have run for it seven or eight years ago. But anyone can run for the position of Hokage. Even if Uncle Master becomes Hokage, it will still be his." ability!"

Minato said with a bright face. He was no longer the ignorant boy he once was. He also had some feelings about the power struggle in Konoha.

The most common thing in daily life is that whenever he takes on a difficult mission, some families will always add some genin or chuunin to the team.

On the surface, it is about gaining experience and seeing the world, but to put it another way, it is to find a master to guide you and clear the dungeon.

Of course, the purpose of brushing dungeons is to upgrade. The ninja resumes of these family members will look better in the future. Otherwise, do you think those A-level and S-level ninjutsu were all completed alone?

Someone as strong as Sakumo Hatake needs to form a team. After the mission is completed, isn't it reasonable to add a bonus to his teammates by participating in an S-level mission?

Regardless of his status among ninjas, he is one step ahead of his peers within his family.

He already has a reputation and a resume, and one step further will lead him to the position of family elder and patriarch.

Seeing Minato's heartless look, Jiraiya felt that Minato was smiling like half a hundred people. He couldn't help but wonder, is his proud disciple really suitable to be Hokage?
