The room was so quiet that Orochimaru seemed to be able to hear the sound of liquid flowing into his body through the infusion tube.

He looked at Danzo in confusion, and Danzo was also looking at Orochimaru across from him, with what could be called a faint smile on his calculating face, and his eyes were full of determination and determination to win.

After a brief moment of shock, Orochimaru came to his senses. He snorted coldly, as if he had heard a not-so-funny joke, with a hint of mockery in his hoarse voice.

"What are you kidding, Danzo-sama?"

"This is not a joke. I have thought about this issue carefully. Tsunade and Jiraiya can ignore the position of Hokage if they don't want to. The remaining ones, whether Minato or Sakumo, are not suitable for the position of Hokage. The superior Minato has no regard for those of us. Experiments that cannot be put on the table are disadvantageous. In Sakumo's words, this person is too kind, and a person who is too kind is not suitable for the job of Hokage."

"I'm not suitable either, I'm not interested." Orochimaru said truthfully.

Danzo didn't agree with Orochimaru's words on the surface, "One of the most important reasons why I want you to take the position is for the ongoing experiments, for the cells of Hashirama-sama and Kagura-sama not to be discovered by others, and for you Qianxin The forbidden technique that Wan Ku stole from Teacher Tobirama can be learned smoothly and used by you."

Danzo and Orochimaru have known each other for many years. A politician who is good at playing with people's hearts knows how to use the other's weaknesses to manipulate him. Danzo knows very well where Orochimaru's seven inches are.

At this time, Orochimaru is actually still a very naive person. His hobbies and goals are very clear. All his daily actions are to serve his own goals. He is not good at figuring out people's hearts, and he doesn't care about it. Do it.

Orochimaru, who is very capable and somewhat simple-minded, is exactly what Danzo thinks is easy to control.

"Whether it's experiments or learning forbidden techniques, it takes a lot of time. You must keep doing it. If you want to do something for a long time, you have to be prepared for the risk of being discovered. These..." Danzo intentionally or unintentionally He glanced around, and it was clear what Orochimaru was referring to.

"I don't need to say more about what will happen to you and me after these things are discovered, right?"

Orochimaru suppressed his physical discomfort and his face became increasingly ugly.

"This is also for your own good. As long as you become Hokage, many things that were buried deep in the ground can be put on the table. Then no one dares to disobey you, and you can do it freely. As for the daily affairs of Hokage, , with me and the senior consultants, you don’t need to worry anymore.”

Orochimaru listened silently, and it wasn't until Danzo said this that he understood the other party's true intention.

"As you said, Minato will be Sarutobi-sensei's puppet. What about me, do you want me to be your puppet too?"

Danzo raised an eyebrow, the snake didn't seem to be a hopeless fool.

He smiled and said, "It's too ugly for you to say that. This is called mutual benefit. Besides, judging from what I'm doing now, whether Hiruzen is in office or you are replaced, what I do is not much different. For me, For me, there is no difference between you and Hiruzen in the position of Hokage."

After a pause, Danzo added, "It would be hard to say if someone else was in charge. I am only protecting my own rights and interests. There is no conflict between the two."

For a suspicious person, it is easier for the other party to accept his purpose by directly expressing his purpose. Hiding it is not conducive to gaining the trust of the other party and is not conducive to cooperation.

Different strategies need to be used for different people. Danzo, who has lived for most of his life, understands this very well.

"Becoming Hokage has only advantages and no disadvantages for you. It is just a false name. Instead, you can focus more on your own experiments. You no longer have to hide and hide. Everything becomes justifiable, and there is no need for Hokage's affairs. You do it, it seems like this, Orochimaru, you’ve made a lot of money!”

Danzo was like the best lobbyist, constantly tempting Orochimaru, watching him break down his will little by little in front of him, from the initial disdain and ridicule to the current silence and serious thinking.

Orochimaru understands Danzo's intentions, but it has to be said that becoming a Hokage with a false reputation is not a bad thing for him.

Although this identity will bring constraints to oneself, on the other hand, it can also open the door for one's own research. Everything has two sides. As long as you carefully weigh the trade-offs, you can get what you want. .

"I will consider your proposal carefully, but Sarutobi-sensei will not back down so soon."

Orochimaru said this, and Danzo felt a lot better. The anger he had received from his son and wife during the day was now gone, and even the little bit of discomfort Hiruzen gave him was gone.

Danzo smiled and said lightly: "You are still too young. Cultivating a qualified successor to Hokage does not happen overnight. You must plan in advance. In addition to the support of strong supporters, you also need to get support from powerful supporters. All jounin voted to pass, all of this must be planned in advance."

"It's no longer the past. Daimyos are interfering more and more in ninja villages. If you want to be a candidate who can't find fault with the ninjas, and if you want to get the vote of confidence from all jounin, in this period, you have to go to the battlefield. For the choice of meritorious service, simply relying on your reputation as a Sannin is not enough to get all the Jonin to vote for you."

Danzo glanced at the IV tube on Orochimaru's arm, and there was a hint of sadness in his brows.

"Looking at you now... I don't know exactly how you were injured, but it's not the right time."

Speaking of Orochimaru's injury, Orochimaru couldn't help but frown again. Danzo could see that Orochimaru didn't mind mentioning his injury.

Having said all that needed to be said, Danzo didn't want to stay here any longer, so he stood up and left.

After feeling that Danzo had indeed left here, Orochimaru's heart that had been raised finally fell back to its original position.

His body was weak and he leaned heavily on the back of the chair. In order to maintain a reasonably good condition as much as possible, he worked very hard.

The white yukata she was wearing now had already soaked her back, and it was uncomfortable to stick to her body.

"It happens to be at this time..." Orochimaru spat angrily.

His health is worse than Danzo imagined. In addition to researching Hashirama cell adaptors over the years, he has also been doing other research behind Danzo's back using the money and experimental subjects Danzo provided him.

After reading countless ancient books and doing countless experiments, he finally succeeded not long ago.

Orochimaru has always had a clear goal. He has known how fragile the human body is a long time ago. The death of his parents when he was young made him question life.

Especially during the last ninja war, after he actually went to the battlefield and watched the fresh lives passing by in front of him, he became more determined to want to live forever.

He wants to learn all the ninjutsu in the world. He can never finish learning one ninjutsu after another. However, human lifespan is limited. It is unrealistic to learn all the ninjutsu in a limited life. This requires another condition. ——Maintain immortality.

And immortality was something he studied secretly in private.

The purpose of the dark forbidden technique that deviates from the principles of all things is to obtain immortality.

It took a long time, the process was arduous, and many experimental subjects died, but in the end there was a good result.
