Chapter 193 Sarutobi Hiruzen: Total Defeat

"Is this rice?"

"This looks like a red fruit!"

"And here, what is this? I can't recognize it!"

"Didn't you notice that these plants are all planted in water?"

That's right, this research institute studies nothing else but various plants, food crops, and vegetables!

"How did you find time to come here?" Orochimaru stood in the middle of the hall. He was wearing a white coat and a pair of glasses. His cold temperament was completely gone, replaced by an inexplicable gentleness.

"Lord Orochimaru, what are you doing?" Mikoto pointed to the plants around and asked curiously.

"As you can see, I'm studying food crops and vegetables!" Orochimaru said lightly.

"Why did you think of studying these?" Hinata Hiashi asked curiously.

"Yes, yes!" The others nodded. It was said that Orochimaru was most interested in forbidden techniques. Why didn't he study ninjutsu now and switched to farming?

"Why?" Orochimaru looked up at the sky with a gloomy look, and then said, "This is a long story. I just don't know if you are willing to listen?"

"I don't want to listen!" Sarutobi Hiruzen roared in his heart, but he couldn't speak.

It's not that someone blocked his mouth, but that people depend on food for their livelihood.

Researching food is even more correct than the will of fire!

"Of course we are willing to listen!" Someone has already spoken. It's the head of the Nara clan.

In addition to raising deer, the Nara clan also grows herbs, and also does some cultivation and breeding work.

So he can understand part of Orochimaru's research.

He found that Orochimaru's research was not to make plants poisonous or reduce production, but to increase production. It seems that he is also studying ways to plant without land.

This kind of research made Nara feel like he had met a colleague, and naturally his good impression doubled.

Others nodded one after another. Even if it wasn't for food, just because the three ninjas wanted to tell a story, just tell me if you want to listen or not!

Orochimaru nodded and said, "During the Second Ninja World War, I was awarded the title of the Three Ninjas, but I don't like this title at all!"

"It's not because this title was given to us by a victor, but because this title represents war and killing!" Orochimaru sighed, "I hate war and I don't like killing!"

The clan leaders nodded one after another. It didn't matter what they thought in their hearts. Anyway, Orochimaru spoke, so just listen.

"Then I started thinking, why did they start a war, obviously it's a small country!" Orochimaru pointed to the rice in a pond next to him: "I asked a ninja from the Rain Country, and got an answer!"

"Hungry, hungry!"

"I wonder if anyone here has tasted the taste of hunger?" Orochimaru asked.

Someone actually raised his hand, it was Might Guy.

Orochimaru curled his lips: "Tell me about it!"

"It's just that I feel very empty and painful. My whole stomach is like a hole that is craving for something, and the muscles all over my body seem to be telling myself that I am very empty and I need nutrition." Might Guy's writing skills are not good, but he described it very vividly.

"Can you bear this feeling?" Orochimaru asked again.

"I can't bear it!" Might Guy thought about it, then shook his head: "I'm so hungry that I even want to eat tree bark. Even with a firm will, I can't bear hunger!"

Ninjas are people who can endure everything, but this does not include hunger.

When Naruto is very hungry, he will eat expired instant noodles and drink expired milk.

Ninjas will carry military ration pills with them.

Iwagakure, which claims to have the will of stone and is harder than a rock, was directly defeated when its supply line was cut.

Orochimaru nodded: "Yes, hunger is a very difficult feeling to bear, and this feeling is experienced by the people of the Rain Country every day."

"Finally one day, they couldn't bear it anymore, so the war began!"

The reason for the launch of World War II was indeed that Hanzo wanted to seek the interests of a great power, but it was not enough to rely on his personal ambition to make the people of an entire country follow him to fight.

Orochimaru continued: "Later, the war ended, but I know that as long as this feeling still exists, as long as there are still people who are hungry, the war will start again sooner or later!"

"So, you study these to eliminate war?" Mikoto asked.

It has changed from you to you!

"More than that!" Orochimaru shook his head: "Over the years, I have not only visited various countries, but also walked through various cities and villages in the Land of Fire!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly remembered that Orochimaru did spend a lot of time outside, saying that he was looking for scientific research inspiration.

So this is what you are looking for?

The story of Orochimaru continues.

"I thought that the Rain Country, which started the war, suffered from hunger, but the rich Fire Country should not, but that is not the case!"

"In every town, every village, even the most prosperous Kyoto, there are people who starve to death because of lack of food." As he said, Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Including our Konoha, there is also such a situation!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not care. How can there be no starvation in this world? Isn't this normal?

"Then, I came up with the idea of ​​​​solving this problem!" Orochimaru's words finally came to an end: "And the way to solve this problem is to increase the yield of a single piece of land!"

"Five years ago, one acre of the most fertile land in the Fire Country could only produce 400 kilograms of food. If we could double this number, wouldn't it mean that those who would starve to death would be able to survive?"

At this point, someone's tone began to tremble.

Metkay should not have the qualifications to speak here, but Metkay still spoke, and he asked in a trembling tone: "Then, did you succeed?"

"Of course it worked!" The person who answered Metkai was not Orochimaru, but another boy.

Shiranui Genma!

"Our teachers developed rice three years ago that can yield 800 jins per mu. The year before last, the number increased to 1,200 jins. Last year it was 1,600 jins. This year it has reached 2,000 jins!"

"Is there such a thing?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened: "The yield per mu is two thousand catties, this is impossible!"

"Hokage-sama, you will know this when you go out and take a look. This kind of refined seed has already been spread in the Land of Fire!"

"I seem to be able to testify!" Uchiha Mikoto raised her hand cautiously: "I did see that kind of densely packed, full-grained rice in the fields. The village chief also said that one acre of their land can produce two thousand kilograms. food."

"Ah this." Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless.

"Moreover, haven't you noticed?" Uchiha Mikoto added: "The price of food in Konoha has been declining in the past three years!"

"It seems like this!" Many clan leaders have never left the village in their lives, and they really don't know if there is high-yielding food outside.

But they are responsible for the food, drink and litter of the whole clan, and they really know about the price of food!

"I" Sarutobi Hiruzen was dizzy, he also knew about this!

But he thought it was because of his good management that Konoha had too much food to eat and had to lower the price. So it turned out to be the credit of his apprentice?

"Lord Orochimaru!" Metkai shouted: "You are simply the most powerful person in the world!"

"Yes!" The Nara clan leader also nodded: "It is such a huge progress to be able to increase the grain yield from four hundred kilograms per mu to two thousand kilograms. Even the imperial diet of the year did not have such power! "

The compliments of the two are not exaggerated at all. The output has increased five times. How many more people can be fed by this?

This achievement is really greater than that of Goseijin. If this matter is publicized, the Inari God of the ninja world in the future may not be Goseijin, and he may really have to be replaced by Orochimaru!

Moreover, Orochimaru's achievements are not limited to the Kingdom of Fire. Even the Kingdom of Wind, Earth, Thunder, and Water must bear Orochimaru's affection. No matter which country he goes to, he belongs to this country. Welcome!

Even the Raikage and Tsuchikage didn't dare to have the slightest idea of ​​murdering him, otherwise they would really be stabbed in the back by the people all over the country!

Whoever does this will be infamy for thousands of years!

"We have not only studied high-yielding rice, but also wheat, and many fruits and vegetables. For example, this red fruit was poisonous at first, but after several years of research, not only has the toxicity been eliminated, but the yield and size have also increased. Quite a few, we are planning to promote this new variety this year!”

"There is also this one called potato. Its yield is even more exaggerated, with an output of more than 4,000 kilograms per mu. Moreover, it does not have to pick the land and can be grown on various terrains. We are ready to promote it to the land of sand and the land of soil."

Everyone was excited, except Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose face turned red with anger.

He suddenly slapped the cabinet containing vegetables. He thought the transparent cabinet would break with the sound, but he didn't expect it to hold on!

But the muffled sound still attracted everyone's attention.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru hatefully and said sternly: "Orochimaru, didn't you ask you to study wood escape? Why did you turn into studying plants?"

If you don't study Wood Escape, you'll turn it into food, and you can study it so well!

Do you want to be a saint?

You have such a high reputation, how can I blackmail you?

"Wood Release?" Orochimaru smiled slightly and pointed to the grains and vegetables around him: "Aren't they all these?"

"Huh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned: "Are these all products of Wood Release?"

Orochimaru shook his head: "Of course not, but they are pretty good!"

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was trembling with anger, Orochimaru curled his lips: "In my opinion, high-yielding food and vegetables are a thousand or ten thousand times more important than a wood escape!"

The clan leaders nodded one after another. These three generations were really bad, and they even studied wood escape!

Who wants to have the first generation standing over them!

On the contrary, it is food, which is a good thing!

Except for the Uchiha clan, the other ninja clan more or less have their own land. Well, the increase in food production means that their income has increased!

Not to mention there are fruits and vegetables. Although ninjas don’t care about their appetite, who wouldn’t be happy if they can eat better!

Seeing that all ninjas, and even civilian ninjas, were conquered by Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He knew that there were only a day or two left in the economic investigation, and his position as Hokage would definitely be unstable by then.

What was the result of his own reputation plummeting and Orochimaru's reputation soaring?

Of course Orochimaru is the new Hokage!

This is definitely not the result you want!

From the fact that he was asked to study Wood Release but he studied food instead, we knew that Orochimaru had no control over it at all!

And Orochimaru is not alone. It seems that he only has three disciples now, but as long as he makes a call, his subordinates will quickly return to their hearts.

Five of his own people in the mission management office have been arrested. Now there is no time to replace their own people, and they will definitely be replaced by Orochimaru.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke is dead. Although the current Anbu chief is one of his own, he does not have the strength at all.

Orochimaru will definitely replace this person.

The Root may not be saved.

Interrogation Department? Intelligence Department?

The one who is loyal to Ino-Shika-Chou is the Hokage, not him, Sarutobi Hiruzen!

As soon as Orochimaru takes office, they will definitely turn against him!

The Medical Department cannot be saved either. Tsunade and Orochimaru are companions. Tsunade who he cannot call back, can’t Orochimaru call her back?

Even if Tsunade is really dead, isn’t there still a

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly saw Ning Yuan standing next to the devil and picking cucumbers.

This kid is a rare medical ninjutsu genius in a thousand years. Why have I ignored him all these years!

He is still Biwako's disciple, so it is natural for him to replace him!

After calculating all these departments, Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked to find that when Orochimaru came to power, he would inevitably lose his control over the position of Hokage and the power of Konoha!

Now it seems that it is impossible not to perish together. He must be more decisive, even if he sacrifices himself, to prevent Orochimaru from coming to power.

At most, he will pay some benefits and let Mito Kadokawa become Hokage!

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly planned what to do after he stepped down. Even if there will be losses, he must minimize the losses.

Mito is not a big family, and there are no talents in the family. If he wants to hold his position firmly, he must cooperate with him. At least the Anbu can have some of his own people, and the Root can belong to him completely.

As his wife, Sarutobi Biwako may not be able to sit in the position of Minister of Medical Affairs and Director of Konoha Hospital.

However, Ning Yuan can be promoted. As a branch of Hyuga, he is naturally impossible to be loyal to Hokage. If he does not want to be controlled by the main family, he must cooperate with him.

Moreover, Ning Yuan and Tsunade have also communicated. When the time comes, they will spread the word that Ning Yuan has also learned from Tsunade and is Tsunade's disciple.

Then Tsunade still has the nerve to grab Ning Yuan's position?

A part of the Anbu, the entire Root, and the medical department are almost enough!

Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief. The situation is not too bad.

In this case

"Orochimaru, I have something to ask you!" Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke.

Orochimaru nodded: "Teacher, please ask!"

"Since Elder Danzo disappeared, Danzo's Root has been taken over by me!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "And I found some interesting things in the Root's files!"

"From the 42nd year of Konoha to the 44th year, you took away 6,000 adults and 3,000 children from Danzo in three years, and in the name of studying Wood Release!"

"Excuse me, where did these people go?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen firmly believes that it is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change one's nature!

Did Orochimaru really change his career to study food and give up Wood Release?

Researching food is true, but giving up Wood Release is not necessarily true.

How can I believe that a person who has been passionate about forbidden ninjutsu since childhood has changed his dream after experiencing a war!

He looked at Orochimaru steadily. It would be useless if Orochimaru quibbled, because Sarutobi Nobu was already on his way.

And those documents were signed by Orochimaru himself, so don't even think about denying it!

The heads of the major ninja clans, 40 senior ninjas from the Anbu, 40 armed ninja police from the security team, and six newly graduated Genin, all looked at Orochimaru, waiting for his answer.

Orochimaru's expression did not change, and he was still as calm as usual: "Nine thousand people, it is true!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up, and then frowned instantly. How could he admit it, how dare he admit it?

"Where are these nine thousand people?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked sternly, "Did they die in the Wood Release research? Did you change your career and start researching food because the Wood Release research was not going well?"

"Alas!" Orochimaru shook his head, "Teacher, in your heart, am I a person who will do anything to study forbidden techniques?"

"Or do you think I am such a person because you have done this before?"

"Don't talk about irrelevant things!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said sternly, "Where are these people!"

"Mingchuan Town, Xinyuan Town, Anning Town, Anping Town" Orochimaru shook his head and casually named a dozen villages.

"What are these?" Sarutobi Hiruzen blinked, not knowing why.

"This is where these people are settled!" Orochimaru smiled and said, "Since I didn't do the Wood Release experiment, how could they die? I just moved them out of Konoha!"

"Is there such a thing?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned. He really didn't study Wood Release?

This kind of thing is easy to verify. Just send someone to ask and you will know, so Sarutobi Hiruzen tends to believe that Orochimaru did not lie.

But

"Why are you doing this!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said sternly: "You are transferring the population of my Konoha Village, you are weakening the strength of my Konoha Village, your behavior is not a spy, but worse than a spy!"

Orochimaru sighed, and a song Rise responded.

"I have no choice!"

"I don't want to study Wood Release, but the village pushed me too hard. I refused on the grounds that the mortality rate of studying Wood Release would be very high, but Elder Danzo didn't care at all. Instead, he kept sending people here. I thought the disappearance of so many people would be discovered by the village, but this matter lasted for a month and no one was investigating!"

"At that time, I understood that this matter was not something that Danzo could push forward. There must be another powerful person involved!"

Everyone present is smart. Who is this talking about? Do you still need to ask?

"I think everyone knows the relationship between that person and me!" Orochimaru slowly closed his eyes, and a tear rolled down: "The teacher's kindness is as heavy as a mountain. I can't disobey his orders, but using human life to study forbidden techniques violates my morality as a human being."

"I cherish life so much, how can I use other people's lives as a stepping stone on my road to success!"

"On one side is the teacher's kindness, and on the other side is the common people." Mikoto took out a piece of paper from somewhere and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Lord Orochimaru, you did nothing wrong!"

"This is the best way, no one will blame you!"

"Yeah!" The other clan leaders nodded one after another. If they were Orochimaru, they would not be able to think of a better way!

And at that time, Konoha had just won the Second World War, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was as powerful as a mountain. Even if Orochimaru stood up and reported it, it would be useless.

"I'm glad you can understand me!" Orochimaru wiped the tears from his eyes, then turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen, knelt heavily on the ground, and kowtowed: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I can't do it!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also had tears in his eyes, trembling to help Orochimaru up, and then took Orochimaru into his arms.

"It's not your fault, it's me who didn't consider your feelings!" Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart inexplicably: "Orochimaru, you won, when did you start planning this?"

"Teacher, I don't understand what you are talking about?" Orochimaru still had a pure and simple expression.

Sarutobi Hiruzen only felt a chill in his heart: "This expression doesn't suit you!"

"Really!" Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Then I'll think about it later"

Everyone was moved by the mutual understanding between the master and the apprentice, but only three people knew.

After this kneeling, this master-apprentice relationship has come to an end!

In this game, Sarutobi Hiruzen was defeated!
