Just grasp the soft spot, the weakness of people's hearts, and give the other person what they desire most.

That so-called strong will is simply vulnerable.

Before coming, Orochimaru already knew all of Gaara's information.

Already guessed.

His mother and uncle may be the weakest line of defense in his heart.

Using this as temptation, are you still afraid that Gaara won't obey?

that's it.

After successfully capturing Gaara, Orochimaru left behind two clones to begin research, and then his real body left the experimental base.

As a Hokage, there are many things to consider.

Orochimaru couldn't devote himself to the experiment wholeheartedly until the situation was completely stabilized and the threats were eliminated.

But fortunately, it won’t take long.

...

Orochimaru quickly returned to the Hokage's office and began to handle various government affairs.

An hour later, new information came back.

Except for the Sand Village, the Kages of the other three large villages have all agreed to Orochimaru's invitation to the [Five Kage Summit].

At this moment, they were still not very clear about the changes of Hokage within Konoha.

After all, the official appointment from the daimyo has not yet been issued, and the announcement of Orochimaru's succession to the position of the Fifth Hokage has not yet been announced to the entire ninja world.

Therefore, they all thought that this was the Five Kage Summit initiated by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi still has some face.

It is estimated that other countries also want to take this opportunity to test the strength of Konoha and the Sand Village in order to decide their own future development and strategies.

Therefore, the Five Kage Summit was tentatively scheduled to be held in the [Iron Kingdom] a week later.

"In a week?"

"Very good, good time."

"Enough for me to deal with all threats and truly succeed to the throne of Hokage."

Orochimaru looked at the report and smiled with satisfaction.

Everything is within my calculations.

Very good, very good!

...

Just like that, time flew by.

at dusk.

Dou is back!

He also returned with three injured Anbu ninjas and rushed to report to Lord Orochimaru without stopping.

"Lord Hokage!"

"How's it going?"

"As you expected, we were attacked only half a day after leaving Konoha."

"This is Danzo's work, right?"

"There are nine attackers, divided into three teams. They deliberately concealed their identities and ninjutsu styles. But they should be correct. I can sense the paranoid aura of Root ninjas in them."

"It seems that old dog Danzo is really anxious! As for Anko?"

"They captured him?"

"Deliberately captured alive?"

"Yes, the enemy was extremely ruthless to us except for Hongdou, but they spared Hongdou-sama. It seems that they received the order to capture him alive."

"Normal. After all, that girl is my disciple, so old Danzo has his concerns. Killing Red Bean would mean going to war with me and the entire Konoha."

"He doesn't have the courage, nor the strength..."

Orochimaru smiled faintly and said, everything is going according to plan.

"What about Anko-sama?"

"He can't die. This is the only thing Danzo has. He thought he could threaten me with this bargaining chip. How could he destroy his own bargaining chip?"

"But Lord Orochimaru, I still don't understand why you gave Red Bean to Danzo? Isn't this asking for trouble..."

"It's just a trap set for that old guy Danzo. That old guy has an arm full of Sharingan. It's not easy to get rid of him completely, so we naturally need to prepare more..."

"You, you want to kill Danzo?"

"Why, don't you want to?"

Dou's breathing quickened, his heart aching.

Of course he also wanted to get rid of Danzo. After all, his beloved Dean Nono was forced to death by Danzo!

Kabuto is willing to give everything to kill Danzo!

"I want to, please give me a chance!"

"There will be a chance. But I don't intend to trade your life for it. That old thing with no future is not worth your sacrifice..."

"Hokage-sama, I..."

"Go down and prepare well. I'll let you know when the time comes."

"understand!"

Dou disappeared quickly, with a fiery heart, and went to sharpen his knife secretly.

Orochimaru couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

That old guy Danzo finally took the bait!

It’s worth it to put all the red beans out as bait.

Of course, even if Danzo didn't attack Red Bean, Orochimaru had other ways to trap him.

After all, Danzo is much more anxious than himself now.

His future was bright, but ahead of him was an abyss...

He had to fight! He had to fight!

...

into the night.

Below the Shimura clan’s residence, in a secret root base.

Danzo was leading several death ninjas to torture the 'prisoners' here.

These few days were the most difficult time in Danzo's life.

Sarutobi completely ignored him and deprived him of his position and power, and Orochimaru used the Anbu to force him crazily.

The power and manpower of the entire Root were rapidly disintegrating and it was almost on the brink of collapse.

Most of the Root ninjas are either controlled or monitored by the Anbu.

All Danzo can command now are a dozen or so death-defying ninjas who were secretly trained from orphans.

That's all the manpower we have.

Fighting to the death with Orochimaru would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

Therefore, Danzo could only try to use various tricks.

Including the previous incitement of opposition, the elimination of the Hokage's messenger, lobbying the top leaders of Konoha, etc...

Unfortunately, they were all resolved by Orochimaru one by one, with no effect.

of course.

Danzo still has information in his hands about various experimental scandals that Orochimaru and he had participated in before.

If all this were to come to light, it would certainly deal a heavy blow to Orochimaru's prestige in inheriting the position of Hokage.

After all, no one wants their leader to be an unforgivable scientific lunatic.

But Danzo knew very well.

This move is effective, but it can't take down Orochimaru in one blow.

If public opinion can kill the idiot Hatake Sakumo, can it also kill Orochimaru?

Do you expect to make Orochimaru resign or commit suicide by just a few gossips?

Do not make jokes.

Danzo wouldn't even dare to think this way...

Orochimaru would just ruthlessly eliminate all the public opinion spreaders, and then take the opportunity to accuse Danzo of slandering the Hokage, and then get rid of himself directly!

Therefore, Danzo did not dare to disclose the evidence of these scandals rashly unless he had decided to fight to the death with Orochimaru.

but.

If we continue like this, it will be very dangerous!

I am almost certain to lose!

If he really waits for Orochimaru to officially succeed as Hokage, then he will definitely lose everything, and there is a high probability that he will die!

As the Hokage, there are so many ways to kill Danzo.

Even assigning Danzo an S-rank mission and asking him to complete it alone would be enough to kill him.

what?

If one S-level mission isn't enough, then give me ten! One hundred!

It will always wear you down.

what?

You don't accept the mission assigned by the Hokage himself? What do you want to do? Are you going to betray the village?

Someone come!

Take him to the laboratory and teach him a lesson!

Danzo could already foresee his own tragic end at that time.

So he has no way out at all, and he must do everything possible to overthrow Orochimaru and prevent him from becoming the Hokage!

then.

When he learned that Orochimaru's apprentice, Mitarashi Anko, was rushing to the Fire Country Daimyo's mansion with a letter.

Danzo, who was almost insane, immediately sent out his death squad ninjas to stop Hongdou.

However, Danzo still has at least some rationality.

The order was given to capture Hongdou alive.

As long as you grab the red beans, you will have an extra chip.

Whether it was the information in Anko's head; or herself;

Perhaps they can check and balance Orochimaru!

And his death squad ninjas did not disappoint Danzo and successfully captured Red Bean alive.

Danzo was overjoyed and immediately began to interrogate Red Bean.

Unfortunately, this girl is very stubborn and can endure the extreme pain of the Heavenly Curse Seal. How could Hongdou succumb to ordinary torture?

She would never betray Sensei Orochimaru!

Seeing that Red Bean was so stubborn, Danzo did not dare to delay and immediately found a Root ninja who was good at illusion to extract Red Bean's memory.

Although Hongdou has a strong will, all beings are equal under the illusion.

Soon he could no longer hold on, fell into the illusion, and began to reveal information.

...

ten minutes later.

Having obtained important information, Danzo left the torture room contentedly.

"I see!"

"Reincarnation without corpse? Container? Need to change the body regularly?"

"So this is why Orochimaru targeted Sasuke? Intending to use Sasuke as the perfect vessel for reincarnation?"

"Hahaha!"

"Orochimaru, I didn't expect that you would be so careless and I would still be able to intercept such a secret!"

"In that case, Sasuke is probably Orochimaru's most important target and vessel."

"So... if we can control Sasuke, we can control Orochimaru's weak spot?"

"Compared to the Hokage, that guy should be more afraid of death, right?"

"Want to take a gamble?"

"Sasuke, Sasuke..."

Danzo narrowed his eyes and tapped the ground frequently with the cane in his hand, showing his anxiety and confusion.

After all, he really couldn't find any other way to defeat Orochimaru.

With Sarutobi's support, Orochimaru is invincible in Konoha...

that's it.

After weighing for a long time, Danzo finally made a ruthless decision.

"Someone, go and capture Uchiha Sasuke for me! Try to be as secretive as possible and don't leave any traces!"

"As ordered!"

Several Root warriors followed the order and left. They had almost no self-will and would only obey Danzo's orders completely.

"Orochimaru...I will definitely win!"

"I will definitely become Hokage!"

Danzo touched his right arm, then touched his right eye, with a gloomy look on his face, but he said with full confidence.
