Naruto: Kakashi is back with the system

The defense of Kikyo Castle has ended here, with only some finishing work left.

After arranging the follow-up work, Orochimaru set off back to Konoha with Ton-Ton, the captured Sand Ninjas, Minato's squad, and most of the ninjas who participated in the war.

To be honest, Orochimaru never expected that Kakashi would spare the lives of these Sand Ninjas.

If Orochimaru hadn't been worried about accidentally injuring the little guy by using too many detonating tags, he would have originally planned to blow all of them up into the sky, and would not have chosen such a gentle method as adding sleeping pills.

"Did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

"Lord Orochimaru led the ninjas of Konoha to repel the attack of Sunagakure in Kikyo Castle and will be returning to the village soon!"

"Kikyo Castle? Where is that?"

"You don't even know this?"

"Kikyo Castle is our country's last line of defense against the Wind Country!"

"If it weren't for Lord Orochimaru who blocked the Sand Ninja outside Kikyo Castle, we wouldn't be able to live so peacefully..."

In his words, he attributed the relatively peaceful and harmonious life in Konoha Village to Orochimaru.

……

In the basement of Konoha, at the root, Danzo swept all the documents and office supplies on his desk to the ground.

The Root ninja guarding the door lowered his head and showed no intention of going in to check.

This is not the first time such a thing has happened. Since the news of the victory in the Battle of Platycodon Mountain reached the village, it has become more and more frequent.

When Lord Danzo calms down and his anger subsides, he will naturally ask them to go in and clean up.

Just when Danzo was helpless and furious and could only vent his anger on things, the pitcher plant that he had once cooperated with came again.

"Oh my, what's going on? Who made our Lord Danzo angry?" Jue's tone was full of teasing, and it was obvious that he had been watching the show for a while.

Danzo stopped his somewhat irritable steps, snorted coldly, and sat down angrily on the only chair that was still placed upright in the room.

He wanted to say something, but swallowed it back angrily.

"Alright, alright, there's nothing to be angry about~" Having seen enough of the drama, Zetsu finally showed mercy and spoke to comfort Danzo.

"Humph!" Danzo snorted coldly, "It must be those ninja families who are doing something in secret!"

He had finally gotten rid of the Konoha White Fang who was blocking his way!

Originally, having a successor to the Fourth Hokage like Minato Namikaze was already enough of a headache for him.

But after all, Minato Namikaze is just a civilian ninja with no power or influence, so it is hard to say whether he can eventually succeed in ascending to the top.

What's the result now?

Another big Orochimaru shows up to block his way!

Although Orochimaru is also a civilian ninja, he became famous early, and he is also a disciple of the Third Hokage, so he must have the support of the ninja family behind him.

It's not that easy to deal with.

The widely-circulated news in Konoha is that the ninja families behind Orochimaru are building up momentum for him!

This is really unfair to Orochimaru. He is still on his way back to Konoha and is completely unaware of the public opinion in the village.

However, Danzo was right about one thing: this public opinion was fanned by some ninja families behind the scenes.

"Do you think that the Third Hokage pushed Minato Namikaze to the top with all his strength because he really wanted him to become the Fourth Hokage?"

"What do you mean?" Danzo was stunned. Is there some deeper meaning behind this that he doesn't know?

"The Third Hokage is not that old now, how could he be so willing to give up his power?"

"And Namikaze Minato is just a civilian ninja with no power or influence behind him."

"Even if he becomes the Fourth Hokage, when faced with difficulties from the Elders and the major ninja clans, what else can he do except seek help from his master who was the Third Hokage?"

"So, what you mean is..." Danzo hesitated. Is his friend so scheming?

"That's right. In this way, even if the Third Hokage abdicates, the actual power is still in his hands. The so-called Fourth Hokage is just a puppet chosen by him!"

Danzo still didn't believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was always kind-hearted, would have so many tricks up his sleeve, but he still wanted to hear Zetsu's opinion.

"so?"

"So, Orochimaru is nothing to worry about!" Jue said firmly.

"Oh, so we can just ignore Orochimaru?"

"No, quite the opposite! Orochimaru is your best chance of breaking through!"

"What do you mean?" Danzo frowned, unable to understand Zetsu's somewhat contradictory words.

"The Third Hokage can launch a puppet, why can't you choose a puppet?" Jue Yu said temptingly.

Danzo was shocked. This idea was too bold.

But he likes it!

"You mean... Orochimaru?"

"That's right!"

With the help of various ninja clans, Orochimaru has already become famous. If he has the support of Danzo's Root, it is not impossible for Orochimaru to compete for the position of the fourth Hokage.

At least it's much more feasible than Danzo doing it himself.

The position of Hokage doesn't have to be taken by oneself~

If you really want to try sitting on it yourself, you can ask Orochimaru to pass the position to you, and you can become the fifth Hokage yourself~

Great, it’s such a happy decision!

"But why would Orochimaru stand by me and listen to me?"

"No matter how you look at it, he is closer to Sarutobi Hiruzen, right?"

"Besides, what makes you think Orochimaru will definitely ask me for help? He has a lot of supporters, right?"

Danzo's three consecutive questions left Zetsu silent. He had never thought about such specific questions.

"Give me a few more days, and I will definitely give you a practical plan." After saying that, Jue disappeared into the ground as if escaping.

Why don't you leave? This was the first time he was so speechless when asked this question. He had never been like this before even in front of the class.

However, it is not time to give up on such an ally.

He has not yet selected a suitable person to implement the plan, and he needs someone to cover him, and Danzo is the most suitable person to do this.

"Someone come here!" After venting his anger, Danzo calmed down a lot. He shouted to the Root ninja guarding the door to come in and clean up the office.

Danzo was not idle either. He was thinking about how to implement the plan proposed by Zetsu.

Although Jue has not given him a specific and executable plan yet, he is not a vegetarian, okay?

Since Orochimaru was about to return, this seemed like a good time.

"You, go and call a few more people over."

"Yes!" Although the Root Ninja didn't understand why his leader suddenly went crazy, he still faithfully carried out his orders.
