Naruto Sakaki

Chapter 179 Naruto and Orochimaru
The news of Sarutobi's abdication, fueled by Danzang's forces, quickly spread throughout Konoha Village as if he had grown wings.

All the villagers in Konoha were in an uproar.

Konoha has experienced a total of three Hokages. The first generation was in office for a short period of time. What they did was to start a business, and the second generation was laying the foundation. At that time, the environment inside the village was a bit harsh. , thanks to the entrepreneurial foundation laid by the predecessors, coupled with Sarutobi's meticulous management, the village has reached its peak state, and at the same time, the internal environment of the village is relaxed. The first generation of Konoha is the most livable.

So it can be said that the people of Konoha are very willing to live under the rule of Sarutobi, and even those villagers who are moved by rumors and have slightly different voices just hope that Sarutobi will do better from the bottom of their hearts. They are just holding good hopes, and they definitely don't want to oppose Sarutobi, let alone abdicate Sarutobi.

The Konoha villagers are not dissatisfied with the current Konoha. They all want to continue living under Sarutobi's rule, and they don't want to make too much change, so there is a wave of urging Sarutobi to stay in office.

Sarutobi was very moved by this, and the performance of the villagers was the best compliment for his hard work for Konoha for so many years.

However, what Sarutobi decided would not be easily changed.

For this reason, Yuan Fei gave an emotional speech to appease the villagers, and finally expressed his affectionate longing, saying that the younger generation in the village has grown up enough to take on great responsibilities, and they will definitely do better than the old man like him. The future of Konoha will definitely be better.

Although the villagers don't think anyone can do better than Sarutobi, they can only hope for it. After all, Sarutobi has personally admitted to abdicate and can no longer be changed.

The abdication turmoil ended, but a bigger storm broke out.

Sarutobi's abdication means that the position of Hokage is vacant. As the saying goes, a village cannot live without a village chief, and Konoha must also elect a new Hokage as soon as possible to lead the entire Konoha to move forward.

The Konoha villagers were discussing who the next Hokage would be, and Sakaki heard a lot of related comments whether he wanted to hear it or not, and concluded that there were about five Hokage candidates with the highest voices.

Danzo: A top ninja of the same generation as Sarutobi, he has held important positions in Konoha for a long time, and he is also very reliable in his work. His own status is only a thin line away from Hokage, and it is natural to succeed Hokage.

Orochimaru: One of the three ninjas, a disciple of Hokage Sarutobi, with outstanding achievements, Megatron Ninja World, known as a genius who meets once in decades, he is definitely qualified to be Hokage!

Jiraiya: The reason is the same as above. Although he is not that talented, he is still a top-notch powerhouse.

Tsunade: Compared with the previous two, Tsunade has the biggest halo, that is, she is the granddaughter of the first Hokage, and the second Hokage is his uncle. Her identity is against the sky, plus Tsunade It is undoubtedly very good, and it is more than enough to be Hokage.

Namikaze Minato: The late star of Konoha's rise, in terms of qualifications, he is not enough to be Hokage, but in the third Ninja World War, his performance is too dazzling, it can be called Konoha's final victory The number one hero, might as well be Hokage.

Among the five people, if the two with the highest voices are selected, the villagers of Konoha will choose Tsunade and Minato Namikaze.

Because Tsunade is a medical ninja, things like saving lives and healing the wounded are the things that can arouse goodwill, and in view of Tsunade's status as a god-defying one, it is only natural that Konoha villagers would recognize her as Hokage the most.

As for Namikaze Minato, the dazzling achievements are the basis, but what makes the villagers more willing to believe him is the popularity that Namikaze Minato has accumulated in his daily dealings with people. Many villagers know what kind of person Namikaze Minato is. What kind of light is exuding from his body, such a person as Hokage can reassure them.

It is a pity that Konoha does not have the excellent system of one person, one vote for village chiefs in the Celestial Dynasty. Everything is subject to the results of consultations made by Konoha's senior management, so that the two most admired by the villagers were eliminated immediately.

Konoha executives only want three people to be Hokage, namely Danzo, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru. As for Namikaze Minato and Tsunade, each has its own problems and is not suitable for Hokage.

Let’s talk about Namikaze Minato first. From the perspective of many high-level people in Konoha, they will not only focus on merit and character like the villagers in Konoha, they will consider more, such as very critical seniority issues.

Among the five villagers with the highest voices, Danzo is the older generation, Sannin is the Mesozoic generation, and only Namikaze Minato is the younger generation. The previous two generations are still alive. How can it be the turn of the younger generation to take the lead? Let’s take a step back. However, even if Namikaze Minato became Hokage, how would his teacher Zirai, who was in his prime and also a candidate for Hokage, deal with himself?The disciple defeated the teacher?This is not appropriate!

Besides Tsunade, there is only one reason why she will be out, of course it is not gender discrimination, but because Tsunade suffered from blood phobia after experiencing the death of a loved one, she trembles when she sees blood, and loses her fighting power. With so many talents, how could a Tsunade with obvious weaknesses be allowed to serve as Hokage?

The storm is spreading.

……

Danzo's tricks are frequent, and although there is no action on Jiraiya's side, Namikaze Minato, as Jiraiya's disciple, immediately stood up to support the teacher. With the help of such a meritorious disciple, and Jiraiya The usual good popularity makes Jilai also take the lead in the Naruto battle.

Only Orochimaru is the only one. With his personality, he will naturally not have any good popularity. What's more, at this critical moment, any candidate for Hokage should come out to show his face in front of everyone in Konoha, to show his presence, at least You have to have supporters to advocate for you, but Orochimaru is quite mysterious.

I don't know, I thought Orochimaru was holding back some big moves in secret, and after holding it in, he came out to make a final decision.

In fact, it's not so suspenseful at all. Orochimaru is simply stuck in the underground laboratory of his own house, doing research work selflessly.

Since meeting Sakaki again in Konoha a few days ago, although Orochimaru didn’t get an answer from Sakaki, he at least got inspiration from Sakaki’s current state, the inspiration about eternal life!
And in order to demonstrate this inspiration, of course he has to work overtime, forgetting to eat and sleep to carry out research work, as for other nonsense, he doesn't care about it at all.

But on this day, Orochimaru finally temporarily stopped his research work, not because he finally remembered the Hokage candidate, but because of the arrival of a person.

"Sakaki, I'm glad you're back!"

That's right, the person who came was Sakaki. He didn't want to see Orochimaru again. Seeing Orochimaru's evil face gave him a headache. After all, who wants to stay with someone who treats him as a prey all day long? Sakaki doesn't have the will to become prey.

However, Sakaki still came.

Because the sakaki tree has been swaying in the leaves for so many days, the material life is good, but the real things I want to do have not been done at all.

For example, Danzo, who Sakaki wanted to find the most, was like a ten thousand-year-old tortoise. He didn't know which shell he was hiding in, but he didn't show up at all.

Originally, he thought that Danzo would definitely show up, after all, he was going to run for Hokage!
To become a Hokage, it is not enough to rely on the support of the villagers, but even more so without the support of the villagers. The villagers may not be able to directly decide who will be a Hokage, but at least it is a heavy weight, which is of great help to becoming a Hokage.

But even so, Danzo still did not show up in front of people to show his presence, but only let his supporters build momentum for him among the villagers.

Sakaki was helpless, remembering that Orochimaru had said that he had cooperated with Danzo, so he simply came back to find Orochimaru, planning to use the power of Orochimaru to approach Danzo.

"Oshemaru, you are so comfortable hiding here! Konoha is in trouble now, as one of the protagonists, shouldn't you join in the fun?"

"This excitement is meaningless!"

Orochimaru obviously didn't care about it, and Sakaki laughed dumbly.

"If the Konoha villagers hear your argument, I'm afraid they will die of rage, and no one will support you as Hokage again!"

"So what? I didn't expect you, Sakaki, to care about a meaningless title?"

"The title of Hokage is naturally meaningless to me, but this should be what all the ninjas in Konoha are striving for, right?"

Sakaki said with a slight tentative meaning, and Orochimaru unabashedly showed his fanatical expression.

"If they understand the beauty of immortality, they won't put all their energy into meaningless things like Hokage.

In the face of eternal life, the ultimate ideal of all things, Hokage is nothing more than a small thing that cannot be smaller.

As long as you live forever and get eternal time, what else can you not get? "

Sakaki is convinced that even Orochimaru, who is not willing to be Hokage, is trapped in the dream of eternal life. Even if he still has the identity of Konoha ninja, he no longer belongs to Konoha in his heart. It is precisely in this way that they have the basis for cooperation , after all, Sakaki is the enemy of Konoha.

"Oshemaru, I heard that you and Danzo are in a cooperative relationship. I need you to do me a favor and help me sneak into Danzo's side."

"Oh, what are you going to do?"

Orochimaru's snake pupils shrank slightly, and Sakaki answered very straightforwardly.

"I want to kill Danzo!"

"Interesting, I agree!"

Originally, Sakaki knew that Danzo and Orochimaru had a cooperative relationship, but he came to Orochimaru for help with the purpose of killing Danzo. Still, both of them still take it for granted.

"So, when will you help me?"

"What, Sakaki, are you in a hurry?"

Sakaki didn't say a word, but there was an absolute murderous intent in his expression, and when Orochimaru felt it, he smiled even more wickedly.

——This killing intent is very interesting, it's time to investigate the source of the killing intent, maybe this will be Sakaki's breakthrough.

"Danzo invited me to meet with Danzang today. I didn't want to go. This kind of thing that is not beneficial to my research is meaningless. But since you are in a hurry, then I will take you to meet with Danzang!"

Sakaki said with satisfaction: "Very good!"

"However, you can't go like this, you can't get close to Danzo in this way, let me help you!"

Orochimaru is really enthusiastic!
