Chapter 37

After looking at these researchers, he looked at the surrounding environment.

As expected, it seems that Danzo has been engaged in the research of Hashirama's cells for some time.

It is estimated that when he received the order from the Third Hokage, Danzo was also doing research at the same time, and it happened that his own experimental data could be provided to him. He is really an old fox.

Cursing the old guy's treachery, Orochimaru came to the coffin on the experimental table.

Looking carefully, who else could it be if it was not Hashirama? This old guy is really good. He dug the whole coffin.

Not only the First Hokage's, Tobirama's, and Mito's. Orochimaru even saw the coffin with the Uchiha and Hyuga logo.

He is worthy of being Danzo. The precedent of digging graves was opened by Danzo. Now there is nothing for me, Orochimaru.

In the ninja world, ninjas whose graves have not been dug are not considered as figures.

"Ling, this is Orochimaru. He will be your boss from now on."

Danzo said to a female researcher, and then looked at Orochimaru.

"She will be your assistant from now on. If you need anything, you can tell her. She will meet your requirements as soon as possible."

Orochimaru glanced at the female researcher. Although she was wearing a mask and only showed a pair of narrow eyebrows and eyes, she was a capable woman from her sharp eyes.

And to put it nicely, she is an assistant, to put it bluntly, she is responsible for monitoring Orochimaru's every move.

"It seems that Danzo's hand is very big, which makes me feel a little itchy!"

Orochimaru also showed a very interested expression.

"Humph! I hope you don't disappoint me!"

After that, Danzo turned around and walked out first, and the female researcher named Ling also stepped forward to hand over the work to Orochimaru.

It was the same as his previous research, the only difference was that the progress was a little faster than before, but it was still within Orochimaru's control.

"Since I can't avoid it, I'll continue to study Hashirama's cells. Anyway, it will be useful for my future research."

Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. I'll study at home and here, just in a different environment.

Orochimaru didn't have any worries and started to prepare.

Just as Orochimaru was living a 996 office life again, a public opinion about whether the mission or the companions were more important was raised in Konoha.

The cause was that Konoha's God of War Hatake Sakumo chose to turn back to rescue his companions who were in danger at a critical moment during the mission, which made him miss the best opportunity to complete the mission and eventually led to the failure of the mission.

For civilians, this is just a choice, but for Konoha's top leaders, this behavior is a provocation to their authority.

Since the third generation of Hokage took the throne, the will of fire has been promoted all the time in the past 20 years.

What is the will of fire? It is dedication, sacrifice and obedience.

But Hatake Sakumo's behavior shook their rule. If everyone was like him and didn't take the mission seriously, but gave up the mission for his companions, wouldn't Konoha be in chaos?

Of course, there is nothing wrong with rescuing companions, but no one would be stupid enough to refute such a thing, even those who know that it is right to do so will remain silent.

But as Konoha White Fang, a ninja as famous as the three ninjas, who completed hundreds of S-level missions in his ninja career and got the Hokage Half Sleeves just for his military exploits, he has a very high prestige in the village.

Under normal circumstances, even if no one stood up to support him, no one should stand up to accuse him.

But things happened in a direction that no one could have imagined. Not only did his companions stand up to accuse him, but even the ninja whose life he saved turned around and accused him.

There are three things to get out of trouble: being cowardly, treacherous, and betraying brothers! You can also take care of your sister-in-law when necessary.

In this period of Hokage change, it is hard to believe that no one is behind the scenes pushing to kill Orochimaru.

The Hatake family is small, with only Sakumo and Kakashi, father and son. They are not as numerous and powerful as other families in the village, so they will certainly pick on the weak.

Although Hatake Sakumo is powerful, it is precisely because of his power that he can get the Hokage Half Sleeve by virtue of his military exploits, and he does not belong to any of the high-level forces.

If they jump out to compete for the Hokage, the voices of the common people will probably be very high, but this is not in the interests of the Konoha high-level. What's the big deal if someone suddenly appears to become the Hokage?

There are many people who don't want to see this scene, not just Danzo, Utatane Koharu, Mito Kado En and Sarutobi Hiruzen, these Konoha high-level people, the major families don't want to see anyone other than them become the Hokage.

If you look closely at the successive Hokage of Konoha, you will know that the two brothers Hashirama and the next three generations are the first and second generations.Disciple, the fourth generation is Jiraiya's disciple and also the grandson of the third generation. The fifth generation Tsunade is also the disciple of the first generation and the disciple of the third generation.

As for the latter, I won't talk about it. Kakashi is Minato's disciple, and Naruto is Kakashi's student and Jiraiya's disciple.

So it is impossible for someone like Hatake Sakumo who does not conform to their interests to run for Hokage. Now there is a chance. When will it be left?

Not to mention Hatake Sakumo, even Uchiha Madara can't be Hokage. Look at these candidates for Hokage. Uchiha Madara is not in this interest chain at all. It's really a waste of effort for so many years.

Things are almost as Orochimaru thought. Unknowingly, the direction of public opinion is developing in a direction that is unfavorable to Hatake Sakumo.

Orochimaru has already noticed many pushers in the dark. Not only is there a special push from the Konoha high-level officials, but also the big families that usually have some dealings with the Hatake family have all stayed away.

Konoha White Fang, a generation of war god, finally couldn't bear the huge pressure of online violence, and finally committed suicide in his own room.

Orochimaru also felt sorry for this result. A generation of legends became a victim of politics. In the face of interests, what's wrong with weakening the village's strength? Sacrificing one person to protect the interests of more people is a happy thing.

"Sure enough, people who play politics have dirty hearts!"

Standing on the Hokage Rock, Orochimaru looked down at the Konoha Village below. He thought he could get involved in this matter, but the system didn't move.

I think this matter should be the same as in the original work, and Orochimaru was not involved, so it didn't trigger the plot.

"So the kidnapping of Hinata Hyuga and the extermination of the Uchiha clan in the future have nothing to do with me?"

Thinking of this, Orochimaru also sighed heavily.

He thought he could stay in the village until the end, but he didn't expect the system to know how to serve people.

People or things that have nothing to do with him can't trigger the plot at all, which also shows that if he wants to continue to become stronger and continue to make progress, he must follow the original trajectory.

Isn't my life clearly arranged by the system?

"Forget it, things will work out when the time comes!"
