As time goes by, the initial stage of the election of the Fifth Hokage is approaching, and Konoha has welcomed many foreign tourists one after another.

These wealthy ninjas and wealthy people who came from other parts of the Fire Country were greatly stimulating Konoha's sluggish economy.

The daily flow of water made all the families have mouths full of food. They were originally a little opposed to the Hokage election being too grand, and those who did not conform to the ancestral system have now shut up.

There was a lively atmosphere below, but the upper floors felt like a storm was about to come.

The last three Hokage candidates, except for Danzo, are doing things that everyone thinks are useless.

The remaining two Hokage candidates either chose to disappear or have not cooperated with the work, taking their reluctance to the extreme.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also troubled by this. According to his idea, it would be most appropriate for Jiraiya to ascend the throne of Hokage, and then Orochimaru would receive the root tissue and carry forward his own lineage.

But Jiraiya's character was that of a person who couldn't sit still. He wanted to strike several times. If Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't still a bit thin, Jiraiya would have run away long ago.

And Orochimaru...

Because Orochimaru has not come forward to promote himself several times, there are more and more rumors about Orochimaru.

Some say that Orochimaru is now planning to re-establish a ninja village, others say that Orochimaru has found the password to immortality and has no intention of competing for Hokage, and some say that Orochimaru is becoming more and more successful in scientific research, and has even developed a new blood inheritance. Limits.

These are still good, and there is also a lot of news that Orochimaru is conducting human experiments and restarting the previous first-generation cell plan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen paid attention. Most of these messages came from the darkness quietly. This behavior was very similar to Danzo's style.

This gave Hiruzen Sarutobi an even bigger headache. Danzo was still determined to become the Hokage and wanted to stigmatize Orochimaru, just like Sakumo Hatake.

And based on his understanding of Danzo, his methods are definitely more than that.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was really tired at this time, not only about the village, but also about things in the Fire Country.

His son was successfully elected as the twelve guardian ninjas of the daimyo, which was a good thing.

But for some reason, four jounin from the Uchiha family came and joined the twelve guardian ninjas, and they also bore the name of Konoha.

Then, Asuma had a conflict with these jounin of the Uchiha family, and as expected, was severely punished.

Then, the twelve guardian ninjas were divided into two factions, one was headed by the four Uchiha families, and the other was headed by Asuma.

The two factions were constantly fighting openly and secretly, but Asuma's side basically suffered.

Then Asuma had no choice but to look down and ask Hiruzen Sarutobi for advice on how to deal with these Uchiha family members.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very happy when he saw the letter from his son, but his face fell when he saw the content.

If he knew how to deal with the Uchiha family members, he wouldn't have kept the family alive.

However, he does know that the Uchiha family has a problem, that is, they especially like to take action against those who 'think they are powerful'. The more you compete with him, the happier he will be.

By the way, he was also very confused, aren't you guys going to be someone's bodyguards?Why split into two factions?

Could it be that there was a dispute over who would watch the night?

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. He felt that some unreasonable things would always happen wherever the Uchiha family members were present.

No, his son was led astray.

But considering that Uchiha went out under the banner of Konoha, if he did something outrageous, he would be the one to lose Konoha.

So even though he really didn't know what the Uchiha's plan was, he still let Sarutobi Asuma stay there and monitor every move of these Uchiha people.

Because it concerns his son, even though Sarutobi Hiruzen is busy, he still pays attention to the situation in the Land of Fire every day, for fear that there will be a big mess with the daimyo.

Under this situation, it was inevitable that Hiruzen Sarutobi had some oversights regarding Konoha's side of things.

……

After tracking Orochimaru for several days, Shisui finally discovered the location of the research institute where he was hiding.

That night he sneaked in to find out what was going on, and then he saw what a scientific madman's laboratory was.

There were also stumps and broken arms all over the room, as well as various people and unknown plants that were dead in horrible conditions.

Even Shisui was a ninja who had killed countless people. He couldn't help but be shocked and horrified when he saw this purgatory-like scene.

What made him even more angry was that in many petri dishes, there were actually many newborn babies and some helpless women and children. They were also floating quietly in tubes, not just nutrient solution but also of preservatives in the Petri dish.

Zhisui clenched his fists and resisted the urge to burn the place to the ground. He recorded everything in front of him, cleared the traces and left the laboratory.

He rushed to Yuan Shuyi's residence without stopping and reported everything he saw to Yuan Shuyi.

Gen Shuyi nodded after hearing this, then looked at Shisui's trembling appearance and said to him: "Relax, we still need some time, Orochimaru is a candidate for Hokage. So even if we have evidence in our hands, we can't If we can arrest him directly, I will report to the Sandaime and get his consent before we can take action."

He was afraid that Shisui would rush over rashly in his youth and anger, which would not only alert the enemy but also cause unnecessary consequences.

This is a special period in Konoha, and a slight mistake may set the whole place on fire. Gen Shuyi is not afraid of trouble, but he does not want to add some unstable elements at this juncture.

Shisui took a deep breath and his expression slowly calmed down. As a ninja, his ability to regulate his mood was still above the standard.

Ninja, the word "nin" represents their core ability.

"Then I'd better keep an eye on him first to prevent Orochimaru from running away."

Shisui still felt uneasy about telling his plan.

Gen Shuyi thought for a moment before agreeing, and at the same time told Shisui to be careful.

The opposite Orochimaru is a well-known strong man in the Naruto world, and he is one of the few characters who can survive to the end as a villain and even be cleared.

Countless people have wanted to kill Orochimaru, but neither Uchiha Itachi, the Third Generation, nor Uchiha Sasuke could do it. In terms of strength, he may not be the most terrifying, but in terms of difficulty, he is definitely second to none.

For a character like Orochimaru, even the slightest negligence can be fatal.

Shisui also had a big problem with negligence. The reason he was successfully attacked by Danzo was because of his negligence.

Gen Shuyi didn't want his younger brother who had finally obtained a good guide to be ruined in the hands of Orochimaru.
