Swing the knife from the leaves

"Oshemaru, what did you say?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up on his own, and the aura from his body surged out, filling the entire conference room.

Despite the pressure, Orochimaru still sat in his position and said calmly:

"I know what the teacher wants me to do, but I quit. I want to leave the village, and I hope the teacher won't stop me at this point. I accepted the invitation of the adult."

As he spoke, Orochimaru stood up, bowed to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and spoke.

"Thank you for your cultivation, teacher, but I have to pursue my dream. Goodbye, teacher."

After that, Orochimaru turned into white mist and disappeared into the conference room.

Shadow clone.

Orochimaru did not send his true body to attend this meeting at all.

Looking at the disappearing disciples, Sarutobi Hiruzen's anger was directly wiped out, and the inner frustration directly filled his body.

Jiraiya quickly supported the teacher and made him sit down safely.

After breathing heavily for a few times, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his disciple Jiraiya and said:

"Do you also have something to say? Why didn't you show any signs of Orochimaru leaving?"

Jiraiya looked at his teacher a little embarrassed and said:

"Teacher, I actually have to leave the village, but you can give me some tasks and I can complete them."

In fact, Orochimaru had talked with Jiraiya before leaving. At that time, Jiraiya strongly opposed it and threatened that if Orochimaru wanted to leave the village, he would knock Orochimaru unconscious and lock him up.

But Orochimaru still convinced Jiraiya and asked him to agree not to care about the matter. The reason was that Orochimaru said that the person who invited him was Han Feng.

Jiraiya immediately calmed down and looked at Orochimaru with a complicated expression on his face.

When they still had to deal with Uchiha Madara, Jiraiya and Han Feng had a long conversation all night, and the man once mentioned who was the real child of destiny.

Although he later laughed and mocked the existence of the Child of Destiny, and then invited Jiraiya Station to go to the Country of Rain after the war to see how the three disciples he accepted back then changed that country.

Feeling the same, Jiraiya suddenly lost the motivation to stop Orochimaru and wanted to leave together.

"Ugh"

In the conference room, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. He looked at the once most disobedient disciple in front of him, and recalled the past training scenes in his mind.

Orochimaru and Tsunade are the most obedient in his eyes, but Jiraiya is the opposite, but now the two disciples are leaving him. Although Jiraiya is leaving too, he is much better than those two.

Looking at his teacher's eyes, Jiraiya suddenly felt flustered and quickly waved his hands and said:

"Teacher, you know me. I can't be Hokage. You should go and see the other juniors."

Jiraiya was used to having a loose personality. He once wanted to become Hokage, but he had no idea when he saw his teacher being tied up in that office.

"Oh, all right."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the disciple in front of him, with that determined look in his playful smile, and he knew that he couldn't keep Jiraiya.

In other words, he couldn't keep his three disciples.

After a while, Jiraiya also left. He left with some tasks for the third generation.

Before leaving, Jiraiya said to the third generation:

"Old man, I know your plan, just look at Minato, he is a good prospect."

In the conference room, the Third Hokage stuffed cigarettes into his pipe one after another, and the whole room was filled with white smoke.

Tsunade was about to leave, and he didn't know how to stop her. Her lover was dead, the rope tree was dead, and she also suffered from hemophobia. The village owed her.

Orochimaru was about to leave, and the Third Hokage didn't know what to do. The incident happened suddenly, and Orochimaru was probably far away from Konoha now, and he didn't even want the fruits he had detained.

Define him as a rebellious nin and then hunt him down? Sarutobi Hiruzen gave up this stupid approach.

A great hero was defined as a traitor by his village after the war. Such a situation caused too much fluctuation.

"Orochimaru, why did you take this path?"

After a long sigh, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out of the conference room.

One day later, the village started a memorial ceremony at the memorial monument. All the villagers and ninjas came to the tombstone to commemorate the ninjas who died in the war.

A few days later, the village began the election of the Fourth Hokage. This time there was no Orochimaru, and due to the departure of Jiraiya and Tsunade, there were no candidates among them.

But even without the Sannin, there are still not a few candidates in the Hokage Village who can serve as Hokage.

Namikaze Minato, Nara Shikaku, Uchiha Fugaku, Hinata Hizashi, and some even suggested that Matt should be the hero of Konoha to become Hokage.

There were more than ten jounin who recommended themselves and were recommended, and for a while each faction carried out a massive publicity campaign in the village.

The glorious deeds of each candidate were widely disseminated, causing waves in the village for a while.

Coupled with the fact that the Third Hokage blamed himself for all the faults in the war at the briefing, everyone was very enthusiastic about choosing the next Hokage.

In the streets and alleys, the ninjas gathered together were chatting about the deeds of the Hokage candidates they admired.

In order to suppress everyone's doubts about why the Sannin did not participate in the election, the Third Hokage emphasized that the village needed a young and energetic person to serve as the next Hokage.

Then the Uchiha clan put another young man as a candidate, and Uchiha Shisui became the second Uchiha to run.

Since there was no battle at Kannabi Bridge this time, nor was Minato able to end the war with the Iwa nin alone, the competition was a bit fierce.

Without seniors with such high achievements and fame as the Sannin, most candidates have the confidence to become Hokage.

Only Nara Shikaku, he saw through the situation, so he had no idea. He had been tired of being with his girlfriend these past few days.

The Hokage's campaign temporarily covered up Konoha's pain after the war, but the Third Hokage still couldn't bear to attribute Orochimaru's departure to a traitor.

It's just that Orochimaru and Jiraiya were brought together in the files to complete the secret mission together.

As soon as Orochimaru left, Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a very certain candidate in mind for the Hokage, and that was Minato.

With a civilian background, strong strength, outstanding military exploits, a gentle temperament, and a strong and courageous heart, it can be said that such a talent should be the best candidate for Hokage.

Without Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw how much his disciple liked him. What was even more rare was that the two advisors also agreed with Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision.

But as Hokage, choosing Minato is not just based on the superficial situation. Minato, who was born as a civilian, will protect the interests of the village more than the interests of the ninja clan.

None of those candidates could match Watergate's advantage at this point.

A disadvantage without the help of ninja forces has become Minato's greatest advantage in becoming Hokage. This is the point of drama.

After pondering for a long time, Sandai decided to call all the candidates to have a conversation one by one.

The young people in these villages will be the decisive factor in whether the village can go further. Even if only one of them can become the Hokage, the others will become high-level people in Konoha.

In Konoha Village, the campaign for the Fourth Hokage is in full swing, and Akatsuki, who is far away in the Land of Rain, finally takes control of the country.

Under the heavy rain, Han Feng flew in front of the huge mountain range, the rain knife in his hand ready to go.
