Konoha: Something's not right with this Uchiha

Time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.

The cold wind and white snow have quietly appeared in Konoha, but the entire Konoha seems particularly enthusiastic at this time.

Because at this time, there was less than a week left before the fourth generation Hokage's general election.

In a courtyard in a relatively remote location of the village, Orochimaru, dressed in a white kimono, sat on a wooden corridor, quietly watching the snowflakes fall.

There was light snow in the sky again, and the prismatic snowflakes fell into the hands and quickly merged into water droplets, which could not be saved even for a moment.

He was wearing very thin clothes, which did not change at all due to the change in weather, and the cold weather could not hide his hot heart.

The general election is less than a week away, and it is impossible to say that he is not nervous.

Perhaps more than half a year ago, he really wouldn't have felt anything, because the position of Hokage was already within easy reach for him.

Even at that time, he only regarded Naruto as a special feeling and thought.

But since he came into contact with the Uchiha Sect and had many exchanges, he now had to admit it.

He was irritated by his teacher's thoughts and actions, and he also had more ideas and ambitions for the position of Hokage!

During these times, he has maintained a low-key attitude, and at the same time, he has restrained his subordinates who supported him and fought with him.

Uchiha Sect's words make sense. What they have to do now is not to make mistakes. As long as they don't make mistakes, they won't be caught in the wrong corner and won't be crushed by public opinion.

Moreover, although he is indeed no opponent in the field of public opinion, it does not mean that he cannot find someone to help him with publicity.

His original plan was actually to help Minato Namikaze build momentum, and he even simply attributed all the achievements of the Uchiha Sect to Minato!

And when the time comes, if Namikaze Minato dares to recognize him, then many people in the Country of Whirlpool and the Country of Grass will probably speak out.

Especially since there are many people who support him, such noise will directly defeat Namikaze Minato.

If he dares not admit it, then such publicity will be a stain on him and will make people think he is flashy.

In terms of means, Orochimaru will not be afraid of anyone when he is serious!

But in the end he didn't do it, not because of Jiraiya, but because he knew that doing so might expose him.

"My teacher is not just for show."

Therefore, Orochimaru chose a more pragmatic approach, just to publicize the real things on the battlefield through other people's mouths, and that was enough.

Although the voice was relatively low, and it was not him who was being promoted, but the Uchiha Sect that was focused on, this would also take away from the reputation Namikaze Minato gained through Jiraiya!

While he was doing all this, he did not forget to contact people from other families to gather his supporters.

The purpose of the proposal given to him by the Uchiha Sect was very clear, and Orochimaru was also seriously implementing it.

But it is a pity that many families did not fully express their stance, but acted ambiguously.

This made Orochimaru not very happy, even if he knew that these people were just trying to protect themselves, and there was absolutely no way they could easily tie the family to a tank.

But at this time, he didn't have any courage, and he only held the idea of ​​"I don't care who the Hokage is, I will support whoever is the Hokage", which somewhat made Orochimaru look down on him.

But fortunately, he was not completely without gains.

At least many small families, especially those that began to decline due to war and resource allocation in the village, have made their attitudes clear.

Although their power was small and they did not have enough voice, he suddenly thought of what Uchiha Zong said jokingly with him once.

"A concentrated will can break through stubborn rocks."

This sentence is really applicable now!

"And, there is a bigger harvest."

Speaking of which, Orochimaru felt that there was something different about this harvest, that is, Danzo found him and made it clear that he would support him in becoming Hokage!

Danzo's pursuit and desire for Hokage, Orochimaru is well aware of it.

Now this guy suddenly found himself and said such words, even Orochimaru was stunned.

Although he still maintained that domineering look, Orochimaru knew that he was someone who would do anything for the Hokage.

If he can compromise, something interesting must have happened.

Sure enough, when Orochimaru used the power in his hands to figure out why Danzo had undergone such a 180-degree change, he was a little dumbfounded.

This guy led all the elites from the Roots out some time ago, and looking at the direction, it seemed that he was going to the Kingdom of Rain.

But when he came back, he and Aburame Ryoma were the only two people left!

This almost shows that his roots were completely wiped out in this operation, so he changed his attitude to support himself.

But it's already like this, this guy has made a condition, he actually wants the entire ANBU.

"It's really interesting. But what happened in the Kingdom of Rain? Can we kill all the crazy people at the root?"

Orochimaru was also really curious about this matter, but Danzo didn't want to say it and he didn't bother to ask. He even turned around and told the Uchiha clan about it!

After all, Danzo was competing with the Uchiha Sect. Although he felt that he would not be able to answer this matter as long as his mind was clear, he still needed to get some advice on this matter in advance.

"Promise him, why not promise him?"

After the Uchiha clan learned about this incident, they seemed particularly calm and seemed not surprised at all.

"He is an elder after all. Although the loss of his roots has greatly reduced his influence and voice, his identity is still of some use.

As for what’s left after it’s used up, aren’t we the one who has the final say? "

Uchiha Sect's attitude is completely consistent with Orochimaru's. In fact, Orochimaru doesn't pay attention to this guy Danzo at all.

Even in his eyes, this guy is just a clown, if he can not provide him with enough materials and equipment, and allow him to do research with peace of mind.

Otherwise, Orochimaru might not be willing to have too much contact with people like Danzo.

This kind of person's eyes are higher than the top, and he is self-righteous. I'm afraid he will die without knowing how.

"Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. Now let's see how you make a decision, Mr. Sarutobi."

Orochimaru raised his head and looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky. He smiled, then turned and walked into the room.

Originally, for him, becoming Hokage was just a small idea.

So what if he didn't become Hokage? This was just the shattering of his dream of being a Konoha ninja.

Because his goal has not changed, what he desires even more is to study the true meaning of ninjutsu.

At that time, he no longer limited himself to the identity of 'Konoha ninja'.

But his teacher's approach gave him different ambitions, and he also wanted to understand one thing.

Becoming Hokage is not only about getting back what belongs to him, but becoming Hokage will also give him more resources, which will make it easier for him to do research.

"Sarutobi-sensei, I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be able to see clearly the path I should take."

——

"The weather is really getting colder."

Uchiha Zong walked silently on the street alone, watching the snowflakes falling in the sky.

He knew that this eventful and complicated year was probably coming to an end.

And the most important thing is that a new Hokage will be born in a few days, and many things will be settled.

He silently tightened his clothes and continued walking forward, but many other things kept popping up in his mind.

Inevitably, the selection of the Fourth Hokage still makes him feel a little bit nervous.

Even though he had made so many preparations to ensure that Orochimaru did not make any mistakes.

But the performance of Hiruzen Sarutobi's insistence on going his own way in the original work left a very deep impression on him.

But this time, if Hiruzen Sarutobi insists on going his own way, the situation may be very ugly!

He has integrated the Uchiha clan, and Orochimaru is also deliberately guiding and rallying his subordinates, while also winning over so many families.

The most important thing is that this guy Danzo has moved closer to Orochimaru.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi continues to talk nonsense at the Daimyo meeting, Uchiha Sect can ask Orochimaru to convey Danzo and ask him to tell what Hiruzen Sarutobi said at the meeting.

At that time, the third generation Hokage will be the one who is disgraceful.

"Besides, I have grown very well during this period. If I really want to take action, I might be able to test my status."

After Uchiha Zong was injected with Senju Hashirama cells, his body's fever lasted for a full month.

Although this kind of fever was not a fever and did not affect his combat effectiveness, the fact that his body was in such a state always made him highly concerned.

But this time he discovered that all the news he got was good news!

His chakra continued to grow, and what he discovered during the first injection was really not an accident, but something real.

Although the amount of growth is not particularly large, after all, the amount he injected is really too small, it also makes him very gratified.

In addition to the growth of chakra, Uchiha Sect also found that his kaleidoscope seemed to have recovered a lot.

The use of the kaleidoscope will cause the loss of pupil power, which cannot be helped, and the most terrible thing is that this loss cannot be made up, which is also the key to causing blindness.

But now, Uchiha Sect discovered that his eye power had actually recovered, and with this recovery, his sight had also recovered!

Although I have known for a long time that there will be such a result, I only learned about it from others and did not actually appear in myself.

Now that it was actually reflected in him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he has never dared to use his kaleidoscope recklessly to further improve his eyes because his pupil power was limited.

However, he was still somewhat regretful, because he found that after he used the pupil technique, the recovery speed of his pupil power was incredibly slow.

If he didn't have strong control over himself and observed carefully, he wouldn't even feel that his pupil power was recovering.

This made him realize that this might have something to do with the small dose he injected, but no matter what, it was good news.

Of course, he was also a little helpless, because he was not sure whether his way of using it was suitable for the boy Shisui.

And with such a small dose, he was not sure how much pupil power could be restored at once.

If the level of eye consumption reaches that of Uchiha Itachi who is about to die in the original work, or even Uchiha Sasuke who is already blind, then what is the recovery efficiency?

"The experiment must be further accelerated, but unfortunately Xiangcai is still studying and training, and I only have so many materials in hand."

Thinking of this, Uchiha Zong's eyes couldn't help but sink a little.

Insufficient materials and insufficient personnel capabilities are very fatal. At the same time, he also realized that he had too few people under his command?

There is absolutely no problem with Uzumaki Kasai's potential, but it will take some time to transform into abilities, and since she is the only one, the workload may be a bit heavy.

After thinking about it, he felt that he should really find someone else to help him.

But he soon shook his head, because he knew that there was a premise for all this, a premise that would clear the obstacles in a short time.

"Let's start quickly."

Uchiha Zong once again raised his head and looked at the falling snowflakes in the sky, and this time his eyes also looked in the direction of the Hokage Building.

“I can’t wait any longer”

——

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood quietly by the window sill, staring at the falling snowflakes outside the window. He was not in a good mood at this moment.

While waiting for the Hokage election to come, he had done a lot of work, but obviously he found that the situation was not as easy to handle as he imagined.

It was as if there was an invisible force pushing everything, making it impossible for him to do what he wanted to do. ,

In terms of public opinion, he has been increasing his efforts to promote Namikaze Minato. The effect is indeed there, but it is not as good as he imagined.

In particular, he noticed that some people were deliberately emphasizing the achievements of the Uchiha Sect.

Comparing the two, these people who returned from the battlefields of the Country of Grass and the Country of Whirlpool obviously felt uncomfortable with the current public opinion.

Although Namikaze Minato did defeat the main force of Kumogakure Village, did Kumogakure Village really launch a large-scale attack?

Moreover, although Namikaze Minato was responsible for carrying out the mission of Grass Country, the plan seemed to be made by the Uchiha Sect, right?

In addition, the commander-in-chief of Iwagakure Village, Huang Tu, was also arrested by the Uchiha Sect, right?

Coupled with the Uchiha clan's achievements in the Land of Whirlpool, why has Minato Namikaze's achievements become so great now?

"Someone is doing something secretly, is it Orochimaru or the Uchiha people?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered silently, and he was also a little confused by this matter, because he felt that whether it was Orochimaru or someone from Uchiha, it was possible for him to do this!

Because Orochimaru is very likely to have noticed something. After all, he knows very well how keen Orochimaru is.

If this is the case, it seems to be clearly explained that after this guy met Jiraiya, Jiraiya chose to leave.

But if it was an Uchiha, then it would make sense.

The achievements of the Uchiha Sect have been robbed, and those Uchiha people will never let it go no matter what!

What he is most worried about now is whether Orochimaru and Uchiha have joined forces, although he prefers to believe that Orochimaru is constantly blowing the wind with the help of Uchiha.

After all, Orochimaru was taught by himself, so he should have accepted his own ideas, and he was not popular with the Uchiha clan.

But there were two things that Sarutobi Hiruzen had to think deeply about. The first was that Orochimaru was the old boss of the brat Uchiha Sect in the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

Secondly, when the Uchiha clan was on a mission in the Land of Grass, they once captured a double-blooded ninja from Hidden Kiri Village. In the end, he was not handed over to Jiraiya but to Orochimaru!

Sarutobi Hiruzen had received a letter from Kirigakure, and this letter made him feel extremely uneasy.

Especially through the description in the letter, he can completely confirm that the Uchiha Sect definitely has the Mangekyō Sharingan!

"He has such terrifying power at such a young age, and this guy pushed Uchiha Fugaku down. This kid may be the next Uchiha Madara!"

The moment he finished reading the letter, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally connected everything that happened in Uchiha.

No wonder Uchiha Fugaku behaved so "open-minded", no wonder the Uchiha clan became stable so quickly. It turns out that all this is because they have the kaleidoscope again!

But at this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen really can't do anything, especially Danzo, who has completely destroyed his roots.

Moreover, based on his understanding, he seemed to have discovered that Danzo was also very close to Orochimaru at this time.

What this means is self-evident. In order to find a new way out for himself, Danzo has chosen Orochimaru.

"You're such a confused guy. How could Orochimaru let you get everything you want so easily? He's just as good at killing a donkey as he is!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a hint of betrayal. He looked at the falling snowflakes outside the window and became a little distracted.

"There is also the Uchiha Sect's Mangekyo. If he really gets involved with Orochimaru, then Konoha"

Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer dared to think about it anymore. In such an extreme situation, he knew that he had to make some choices.

He couldn't learn from his teacher and directly force him to decide who the Hokage was. After all, it was a war at that time, not that the war was over now.

And even if he doesn't want to admit it, one thing he has to admit is that he may not have as strong an influence as his teacher.

If he makes a forced decision, I'm afraid it will cause some unfavorable chain effects, which is not a good thing for Konoha now.

So he has made two decisions, and he must carefully evaluate the impact of these two decisions.

And now he is waiting for a person. Only by meeting this person can he confirm many things, and this person is Namikaze Minato.

In his heart, he still refused to give up. He always believed that only under his own leadership could Konoha become strong!

"Hokage-sama, are you looking for me?"

While Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking about it, Namikaze Minato had already gently pushed the door open, and then he walked behind Sarutobi Hiruzen and spoke respectfully.

"Here we come, Minato."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. He turned around and looked at Namikaze Minato very seriously. It took him a long time before he slowly spoke.

"There is still about a week until the Hokage election. Who do you think will be the Hokage this time?"

"Hokage-sama, you shouldn't ask me this question."

Namikaze Minato lowered his head slightly, as if he had no intention of answering the question.

In fact, Namikaze Minato had already made some mental preparations when he came today.

Since the previous conversation with the Third Hokage, Namikaze Minato clearly noticed that the situation was a little unusual.

There is no doubt that Namikaze Minato is a smart man. Even if he has not received similar education, one advantage he has is that he is good at thinking.

After his teacher met Orochimaru, he chose to leave Konoha, and on the night he left, he specifically found himself and the words he said to himself.

This has caused him huge doubts, and after meeting the Third Hokage, he heard words that sounded similar to his teacher's words but had completely opposite meanings.

He already understood that he might have fallen into a whirlpool.

He was also very confused, because through these conversations and the various voices that came out of Konoha after that to exaggerate his achievements, he already understood.

"Maybe the Sandaime-sama wants me to be Hokage?"

After this idea appeared in his mind, he was really excited for a long time. He could never deny how much he longed for Naruto in his heart.

In other words, 'Hokage' is the greatest desire in the hearts of most children in Konoha, and it is also the goal that they strive for throughout their lives.

Now that this opportunity was placed in front of him, he was really excited and excited with the feeling that he was only one step away from his biggest dream.

However, Namikaze Minato is also a very responsible person. Although he was extremely excited, he did not forget about Kakashi.

It was during the time when he was taking Kakashi on a mission to check whether he had reached the standards for entering the ANBU that the excitement in his heart began to slowly cool down.

Now he began to think seriously about one thing, that is, is he really qualified to be the Hokage?

The question had come up at the beginning, but was then buried under the longing of his heart.

But when he calmed down, this question came to his mind again, and he also recalled what Jiraiya said to him.

Those words kept echoing in his ears, and those words kept him thinking.

He didn't tell Kushina about his situation. He didn't want Kushina to worry about him, and he didn't want to give Kushina some inexplicable expectations.

And after so long of calming down, he also thought about a lot of things clearly, and he had to make a decision.

To be honest, he suddenly envied his teacher for being so free and easy, but he was different from Jiraiya. He had his own dreams.

Taking a deep breath, Namikaze Minato raised his head and looked at the Sandaime Hokage seriously, and he spoke with great seriousness.

"Hokage is chosen by everyone in Konoha and is recognized by everyone, so if you ask me alone, I can't give an objective answer.

People are subjective, and everyone has different thoughts, so I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, but I really can't give such an answer. "

Namikaze Minato's words made Sarutobi Hiruzen frown involuntarily.

At this time, he already had some bad premonitions. He looked at Namikaze Minato seriously before finally speaking quietly.

"It is true that Hokage is elected by everyone. After all, only those who are recognized by everyone can become Hokage, but..."

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen paused slightly, and then he continued to speak.

"You also said that everyone has different thoughts in their hearts, and many of them make choices based on emotional considerations.

As the current Hokage, I actually have the obligation to regulate it and choose a more suitable Hokage more rationally.

I think you understand what I mean, Minato. "

These words of Sarutobi Hiruzen have completely exposed the deeper side of Konoha with Wave Feng Shui.

All of this made Namikaze Minato feel stunned, but at the same time he also understood more clearly what his teacher meant when he said, 'Konoha is not as simple as he thought'.

"Hokage-sama, please forgive me for not being flexible enough."

Although Namikaze Minato sighed deeply in his heart, and even felt a little disappointed, he still spoke extremely seriously.

"Although I think I can understand the Hokage-sama's thoughts and know that the Hokage-sama is for Konoha, I have always felt that the Hokage should still be left to everyone to choose.

Hokage-sama, you also said that only those who are recognized by everyone are the real Hokages, just like you, Hokage-sama. "

After saying this, Namikaze Minato felt a little disappointed because he knew that after saying these words, he might not have a chance this time.

But while feeling disappointed, he also felt a burst of relief.

In fact, he also felt that the Third Hokage might be right, but this time he really wanted to follow his heart.

It's hard to miss this opportunity, but it's also what he needs to experience to grow.

He would not give up on his dream of being Hokage, but he also understood better what his teacher's 'self-knowledge' meant.

He is not qualified yet, whether it is his knowledge reserve or his clearer understanding of Hokage and Konoha.

Therefore, he does not intend to force it. He hopes that one day in the future, when he has grown enough to fulfill his and his teacher's dreams, he will compete for Hokage again.

By that time, he will definitely be recognized by everyone, including the future Hokage!

"Are you sure?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Namikaze Minato with some confusion. After a long time, he asked in disbelief: "Isn't your dream to be Hokage?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Namikaze Minato nodded seriously, and at this moment he also showed a smile.

"But now I'm not qualified enough. Jiraiya-sensei told me when he left that he is a self-aware person.

Although he supports me and supports all my choices, after thinking about it, I feel that I should also be self-aware.

Now I still have to study hard, improve myself, and get everyone's recognition, and I won't give up.

My dream is to be Naruto, this has never changed! "

——

In Konoha Village, Namikaze Minato stood on the balcony and looked at the falling snowflakes. He suddenly smiled.

Looking back on what I said in the Hokage's office, although I have some small regrets, I feel more of a sense of relief.

He finally broke free from the whirlpool this time. Although he missed the Hokage, he also had a clearer goal.

He also relies on his own efforts to strive to become a real Hokage!

"Minato, you are in a good mood today." At this moment, a voice interrupted Namikaze Minato's thoughts.

Namikaze Minato immediately smiled and turned around to look at the beautiful figure with red hair. This was his wife Kushina.

"Ah, I probably figured something out." Namikaze Minato said with a smile on his face: "So I am really in a good mood now."

"Really, with such heavy snow, you have to pay attention even if you are in a good mood."

Kushina helped Namikaze Minato clean up the snow stains on her body, and then she also laughed.

"But this is better. Ever since Jiraiya-sensei left, you have been worried a lot. It's really worrying."

"Sorry." Namikaze Minato touched his head in embarrassment. He thought he was pretending well and wouldn't let Kushina find out.

As a result, it seems that he is not performing well now.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. I am afraid that no matter who encounters such a situation, he will be uneasy.

As a Konoha ninja, there are probably very few people who have no thoughts about Naruto.

Especially since his dream is to be Hokage, it is naturally difficult to suppress his restless heart, but now everything is over.

Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato reached out and took Kushina into his arms. He quietly looked at the falling snow in the sky, and it took him a long time before he spoke.

"It's so beautiful. This is the first time I've discovered that Konoha in winter is so beautiful."

"To be precise, it is a peaceful and peaceful Konoha without war."

Kushina didn't know what her husband was thinking, but she also enjoyed the peace now.

"Kushina, I have to work hard."

After a while, Namikaze Minato spoke again.

"The Fourth Hokage is about to be elected, and I have to work harder. I have to work hard to become the Fifth Hokage!"

"Then you have to work hard!"

When Kushina heard this, she couldn't help but smile even brighter.

"I also have to work hard, and then we will compete to see who will become the Fifth Hokage!"

"Okay." Minato reached out and gently touched Kushina's face: "We will compare it then."

"Hmph." Kushina snorted softly: "I will not lose to you."

At this point, the two couldn't help but smile at each other, their eyes met, and they could see the happiness in each other's eyes.

"Come on, Kushina."

"You too, come on, Minato."

——

In the capital of the Fire Nation, the four giants of Konoha gathered in an office.

Their expressions were relatively calm, because they all knew the purpose of their coming this time.

They were mentally prepared, and Nara Shikaku sitting next to them lowered his head.

"What a pity. The Third Hokage did a pretty good job."

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who was sitting at the front, fanned the fan in his hand and said with emotion after reading the reports submitted by the Third Hokage and others.

He himself still has a certain fondness for the Third Hokage.

Not for anything else but because during the Third Hokage's reign, he handled the two wars against the ninja world well, making the Fire Nation a victor.

The relationship between daimyo and daimyo is not like the relationship between village and village.

Because the relationship between the famous names in each country is really not necessarily too bad.

And there may be a blood relationship between them to some extent.

After all, it is normal for daimyo to intermarry with each other for certain purposes and interests.

For them, the so-called ninja war is actually just a game, and ninjas respect them just because they have money.

And in some moral sense, the country does need prestigious families to manage it.

Winning the ninja war would give them face and get a lot of benefits, of course they would be happy.

But if they lose, they will naturally not be happy. Not only will they be embarrassed, but they will also lose a lot of things.

When Danzo heard what the Fire Country Daimyo said, his expression suddenly changed.

His eyes were calm and sharp, and the Fire Country Daimyo suddenly felt pressure when he looked directly at him.

The Fire Country Daimyo immediately picked up a fan and started fanning himself. He hoped to use this method to hide his embarrassment and his inner fear.

Danzo made him feel so bad that he really didn't want to face this bandaged man if he could.

"If you want to trace the root cause, it is precisely because the Third Hokage's ideas were too naive that he pushed the village to that point."

Danzo's voice was steady and strong, while the Third Hokage closed his eyes and said nothing.

“Although Konoha won this time, the losses were very heavy.

Our purpose for this meeting is to create a new Hokage, a Hokage who can lead Konoha to move forward steadily. "

"Oh." The Daimyo of the Fire Country gently flapped his fan: "Is there a suitable candidate?"

Danzo paused for a moment, and then he spoke firmly: "The person I recommend is Orochimaru, who is known as one of the legendary three ninjas."

As soon as Danzo's recommendation was finished, it immediately aroused whispers from the officials of the Daming Palace.

It can only be said that Orochimaru's reputation is too great. The entire ninja world, whether they are ninjas or not, has heard of him more or less.

"What does the Third Hokage think?"

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire did not make a statement. He looked at the Third Hokage. In fact, to him, it didn't matter whoever was the Hokage.

It's just that who is worse than the other. Of course, if you can have a better attitude towards his name, you will be a good Hokage.

The Third Hokage slowly opened his eyes at this time, and his memory returned to the day Namikaze Minato left.

——

After Namikaze Minato left, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became a little ugly.

Namikaze Minato made such a decision, which was really difficult for him to accept. This boy was simply a replica of Jiraiya!

Ignorant and rigid, this guy didn't seize such a good opportunity. What else was he thinking about getting everyone's approval?

How long will it take for you to be recognized by everyone? And even if you know that you are inadequate, where will you have the opportunity to learn outside?

Self-study? Who will teach you these things!

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was full of fire, knew that he had lost this time, completely.

There was no way he could stand behind a young man anymore and continue to promote Konoha with his ideas in this way.

In this case, he can only use the last resort, a method that he is not willing to use at all, but now he has to make a choice.

"Is Orochimaru here?" Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, and he controlled his emotions and suddenly asked.

"Hokage-sama, we are already here." An ANBU quietly appeared in the room. He half-knelt in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Waiting outside now."

"Let him come in." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly, and then spoke.

The ANBU silently disappeared into the room, while Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to adjust his emotions.

Soon, Orochimaru opened the door and walked slowly to him.

"Sarutobi-sensei." Orochimaru bowed slightly and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly and said.

"Actually, I have always wanted to ask you some questions." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru, and it took him a long time before he spoke.

"Teacher, please speak." Orochimaru still looked very respectful, but there was a smile on his face.

To Hiruzen Sarutobi, such a smile was like the smile of a winner.

"When did you start to counterattack?" Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes slightly and asked, "Don't say you didn't, that will only make me look down on you."

"It started when I saw the reluctance in the teacher's eyes." Orochimaru's eyes lit up slightly, and he knew that this was a showdown.

In fact, he had already communicated with the Uchiha Sect before coming.

He knew his teacher too well, especially since his teacher had just met Namikaze Minato, and no one knew what the outcome of this meeting would be.

Of course, the bad outcome would be nothing more than taking action from both sides, while the good outcome would naturally be the Third Hokage's compromise.

And after discussion, if the outcome is good, they all believe that if they speak out about the Uchiha Sect at this stage, it will inevitably cause trouble.

It's better not to talk about it for now, both sides can unify their rhetoric, and then give the Hokage a 'little surprise' when the dust settles.

"It seems that you are determined to be the Hokage." Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he spoke helplessly.

"Actually, I didn't care at first, but sometimes people are just so weird."

Orochimaru licked his lips lightly and said with a smile.

“When something that I thought was mine was stripped away, my ambitions were aroused.

From that moment on, I vowed that I would take back what was mine. "

"Is that so?" Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "The experiment, and the matter of helping to promote the Uchiha Sect."

"Since I want to get back what belongs to me, first of all I can't make a mistake."

Orochimaru's smile became even brighter, and he spoke unhurriedly.

"Danzo also has thoughts about Naruto, and the teacher is equally unwilling, and the experiments I did were human experiments.

So, I have reason to wonder if any news will leak out and affect me?

As for the Uchiha clan, the Uchiha clan is dissatisfied with the current publicity environment. After all, Namikaze Minato's contribution is indeed not as good as his.

And he also handed a double-blooded ninja into my hands. The teacher knew about this.

And promoting the ‘right thing’ doesn’t break the rules and is good for me, so why wouldn’t I do it? "

"You are really getting better and better." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and nodded: "I must admit, you may be an excellent Hokage."

"Then thank you for the compliment, teacher." Orochimaru bowed slightly again, but his winner-like smile became even brighter.

"That's it, you go down." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, his expression became grim: "But don't think you have won, the water in Konoha is very deep."

"It's the depth of the water that allows some people to fish in troubled waters." Orochimaru meant something: "I will have my own way to solve all this."

"Hmph, don't be devoid of awe, Orochimaru." Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted, and his voice became even colder: "Go down and wait for the news, Yondaime."

"Yes, Lord Sandaime Hokage."

Orochimaru bowed slightly again, but when he straightened up, he thought of something again, and he spoke again.

"Also, please give me your advice in the future."

——

Not good memories echoed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, but he also knew that he should take a stand now.

"It can be said that Orochimaru was indeed a talented genius in the war era, so..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and scanned everyone present, and then he spoke quietly.

"I also agree to let Orochimaru become the fourth Hokage."

Hearing these words, Danzo's lips showed a smile involuntarily, and he knew that he succeeded.

The ANBU belongs to Danzo from today on!

However, what he didn't know was that his smile was completely visible to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he could only sigh helplessly.

What he didn't even know was that Uchiha Sect and Orochimaru were sitting together in Konoha at this time.

The Fourth Hokage has finally come to an end, and the people who should be dealt with next have to be dealt with slowly. Mengxin please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket, thank you for the fight~
