Under the leadership of Orochimaru, Aoki and others arrived at Konoha Village safe and sound.

However, the team was missing many ninjas, probably only about one-third of the number in the Konoha camp, and there were no traces of Tsunade, Jiraiya and others among them.

Each of them led a dozen ninja teams, either hiding in the Kingdom of Kawa to investigate intelligence, or rushing to the northern border to replace Nara Shikakushin and keep an eye on the ambitious Kingdom of Thunder and Kingdom of Earth.

In the history of the ninja world, all the major ninja villages except Konoha have betrayed their allies, and the Third Hokage was not naive enough to believe whatever the Sunagakure Village said.

What's more, the reason why the Third Hokage agreed to negotiate a peace was to give an explanation to the Konoha villagers as soon as possible. This does not mean that he is naive or weak.

The connotation after being condensed is nothing more than two words, Naruto!

Among the Konoha troops, the frontline ninjas whose injuries had basically stabilized followed Tsunade and others to temporarily stay at the border. Those who followed Orochimaru back to Konoha Village were mostly wounded who needed to be recuperated. At this time, they were walking on the streets. He accepted the cheers of the villagers on both sides with peace of mind.

They can indeed feel at ease, after all, they are from Konoha Village, heroes!

only……

"Oh oh oh - they're back, heroes!!!"

"Look in front!! It's Lord Orochimaru!!!"

"Then, the person following Orochimaru-sama is his disciple, Aoki-sama. According to legend, like the first Hokage, he is a ninja who can use the secret technique of wood escape!!"

"So strong!! Maybe he can become the next Hokage! After all, this is Wood Release! The legendary Wood Release!!!"

"No, no, no, no matter how you say it, it's impossible. After all, Aoki-sama looks too young. Orochimaru-sama is more suitable to be the Fourth Hokage!!"

"Yes, that's right!! Lord Orochimaru is extremely powerful, and he is very gentle towards his companions. He is a commoner like us. This time he led Konoha Village to defeat Sunagakure Village and win the war. Only then did he Be a real hero!

I support Orochimaru-sama to become the next Hokage! ! "

"That's right, although Lord Aoki has mastered the secret technique of wood escape, Lord Orochimaru is his teacher. So, Lord Orochimaru is indeed more suitable to become the fourth generation!!"

"Me too……"

If other ninjas are the heroes of Konoha, Orochimaru is the hero among the heroes of Konoha Village.

He holds the most important position and bears the heaviest pressure in the frontline war. After winning the war, he deserves the most glory.

Aoki followed Orochimaru, heard clearly the conversations of the surrounding residents, and understood their fanatical attitude.

However, understanding is understanding, whether it is reasonable or not is another matter!

Normally, ordinary residents of Konoha Village would not discuss the election of the next Hokage in public. At most, they would just think about it in their minds and make some guesses.

Even in this case, facing Orochimaru who won the war for Konoha Village, he would only praise him with words such as "so awesome", "wow!" On behalf of the Hokage election.

You know, although Konoha Village will not convict based on words, this is disrespect for the current Hokage after all.

So far, the performance of the Third Hokage during his term of office can be said to be not only perfect, but also to say that his merits outweigh his faults. Under his leadership, the overall strength of Konoha Village has indeed been greatly improved. He is in the hearts of the villagers. It also establishes a good image.

Therefore, the villagers of Konoha will not discuss the Hokage election without reason. The reason for this situation is either Danzo started to stir up trouble, or some old immortals from the ninja clan couldn't sit still, or it was spread by the Third Hokage himself. information.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of the last guess is extremely high!

As for the purpose...

Aoki glanced at Orochimaru, and combined with the conversations of the people around him, he came up with a rough answer: This was to build momentum for Orochimaru and pave the way for him to serve as the fourth generation Hokage.

After all, although Orochimaru is excellent, there are still two or three people in this generation of Konoha ninja who can compare with him. If something unexpected happens during the election process, the candidate of the fourth generation Hokage may not be what the third generation Hokage expected. Orochimaru.

'Unfortunately, the Third Hokage may have miscalculated. Orochimaru-sensei's desire for knowledge is much stronger than the position of Hokage! '

Aoki had this thought in his heart and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he showed an interested smile: "However, if Orochimaru-sensei becomes the fourth generation Hokage, this will really happen." Interesting...'

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting in the Hokage's office, using the telescope technique to observe the situation on the street at any time through the crystal ball.

Seeing Orochimaru being surrounded by everyone on the street, admiring and praising him like stars holding the moon, he couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his face.

dong dong dong-

"Come in."

Nara Shikashin then pushed open the wooden door, walked in, and greeted respectfully: "Hokage-sama."

"You're here, Luxin."

After seeing him, the Third Hokage put down the pipe in his hand, looked serious, and said directly: "I need you as the envoy representative of the village to lead the envoy to Sunagakure Village to discuss alliance-related matters and war compensation issues. ,besides……"

Although the war ended with both parties negotiating a peace and forming an alliance, Konoha Village was undoubtedly the winner, not the loser.

Forming an alliance does not represent a past idea, and the winner often has privileges.

First of all, if Sunagakure Village wants to redeem the Sand Ninja captured by Konoha Village in this war, it will have to pay a certain price, not to mention that Konoha Village still holds a jinchuriki in its hands.

If Sunagakure Village wants to recover the tailed beast, it must shed a lot of blood. This is not only the price they pay for the war, but also the basis for the third generation of Hokage to balance the village and stabilize the people.

For more profound and specific matters, the Third Hokage would leave it to Nara Shikashin to handle. He was a smart man and an expert in this field. More importantly, he was one of his own, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Understood, I'm leaving now."

As a loyal supporter of the Hokage, Nara Shikashin immediately understood the Third Hokage's thoughts and directly accepted this mission without any hesitation.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lu Xin. You have just retired from the front line. I'm sorry that I immediately assigned you a task before I could let you have a good rest and spend time with your family."

The Third Hokage stood up, patted Nara Shikashin's shoulder, and said with a hint of apology in his pleased tone: "Shikashin, you are the hero of Konoha Village!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Hokage-sama."

Nara Shikashin showed a smile on his face, leaned forward slightly, and replied sincerely: "You are the real hero of Konoha Village!"
