Chapter 67

The sound of the door opening brought Orochimaru back to his senses. He looked up and saw a familiar figure.

Orochimaru glanced at the person without any emotion and started to sort out the pile of information on the table.

"Orochimaru has done a good job recently!"

Danzo walked in slowly with a cane in one hand and a document in the other. As a disciple of the third generation, it was a good move for Orochimaru to push him out.

The data was placed in front of Orochimaru, which was the voting data for the election of Hokage.

Although Danzo was a little unwilling to withdraw from the election of Hokage, he had no hope and could only count on Orochimaru.

Judging from the data of this week, Orochimaru's performance really surprised him. He thought that I really didn't make a mistake in choosing him!

Orochimaru just glanced at it and ignored it. He had received the reward, and the election of Hokage was just a formality.

If he hadn't promised Danzo to stand up and run, he wouldn't have bothered to care about these bullshit things.

"You came here just for this?"

Finding that Orochimaru didn't care at all, Danzo's face, which was originally smiling, suddenly became gloomy. It seemed that the person involved didn't care, but he was busy with it.

"Orochimaru, this is about the election of Hokage! I hope you can take it seriously!"

Danzo said with a gloomy face, and there was more or less a bit of blame in his tone.

If Orochimaru became Hokage with his support, not to mention becoming his puppet, at least his own interests could be maximized. Danzo's hands were stained with blood, but Orochimaru was also not much better. The two could be said to be people in the same boat.

But the premise is that Orochimaru can be successfully elected, so it should be taken more seriously at this time.

"As long as you work harder, you can surpass your biggest competitor, Minato Namikaze. Humph! How can a young boy who is still wet behind the ears compare with you!"

Danzo began to talk non-stop in Orochimaru's ear, not caring what Orochimaru thought.

"This is the information about the past Hokage that I found for you, take it and study it."

It is obvious that Danzo also collected the content of Orochimaru's lectures and was trying to please him at this time.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Orochimaru would not tolerate his habit of using himself as a gun, and said in a ruthless tone.

"I don't mean that...!"

"Don't slander my nephew in front of me in the future! I will do the things well, don't come here to make suggestions!"

Danzo was a little annoyed when he was interrupted, but now Orochimaru is in the limelight and is still a handy tool, so it's not the time to turn against him.

"I just admire your attitude towards work, you have principles and ambition."

Not to mention that outsiders don't believe these words, even the parties involved sneered at them, but Danzo ate ramen while eating noodles, and he really opened his mouth.

After asking about the progress of the experiment, Danzo walked out of the laboratory with a clear mind, and the Root ninja guarding the door hurriedly followed behind him.

After waiting for so many years, he felt that he was one step closer to the position of Hokage, and he couldn't help but come over to show his courtesy.

On the other hand, many people knew that Orochimaru was running for the position of Hokage.

The news had spread in the ninja circle, from the elite jonin to the newly graduated genin.

"Minato, I heard that Orochimaru is also running for the position of Hokage?"

The only one who was concerned about this matter was Jiraiya, who knew Orochimaru's character and also understood his thoughts.

Orochimaru has always shown no interest in being Hokage. There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. It must be unusual for him to come out and canvass for votes at this time.

You can tell who is behind him. You can find out who he is by checking which Konoha forces he is close to recently.

"It seems so. I see a lot of people are talking about it. I don't know the details."

The Hokage is in charge of this matter. He doesn't care much about these things. He just needs to do his own thing.

"If Orochimaru wants to be Hokage, why didn't he tell the old man earlier? Is there any need to compete with you at this time?"

Jiraiya smelled the smell of conspiracy from this matter. If Orochimaru really had that intention, he would have stood up and waved his hand in the peak years, and the followers would have gathered long ago.

Hokages are all in their early twenties like Minato who ran for election. Think about it, when the three ninjas became famous, they were not even 25 years old. At that time, their fame and strength were in a period of rapid development.

How could he be like Orochimaru, who came out to run for Hokage in his thirties? What's the point? What were you doing earlier?

This matter was unusual inside and out, and Jiraiya vaguely thought that it was a political game between the top leaders of Konoha.Even so, he had no way to interfere.

Even though they were the famous three ninjas, look at Konoha White Fang. In the power struggle, these ninjas were just tools in the hands of some people, and heroes were no exception!

Only when Konoha encountered major events, these elite jonins of Konoha and the patriarchs of major families were qualified to participate in the power layer of Konoha.

As for normal times... they should take the tasks when they should take the tasks, and they should obey the orders when they should obey the orders. When they are needed, they can be called and dismissed at will.

"Don't worry about this matter. I think your uncle is also forced to do it. Just do your job well."

Jiraiya explained to Minato, fearing that this disciple would have wild thoughts. After all, Orochimaru is an elder, and it is not a glorious thing to stop him at this time!

"Haha, I naturally won't blame my uncle. If my uncle really wanted to be Hokage, he could have run for the election seven or eight years ago. Anyone can run for the position of Hokage. Even if my uncle becomes the Hokage, it is his ability!"

Minato said with a sunny face. He is no longer the ignorant boy. He also has some feelings about the power struggle in Konoha.

The most common thing in daily life is that whenever he accepts a difficult task, some families will always insert some Genin or Chunin into the team.

On the surface, it is about experience and seeing the world. In other words, it is to find a master to lead and brush the dungeon.

Brushing the dungeon is of course for upgrading. These family members will have a better resume in the future. Otherwise, do you think those A-level and S-level ninjutsu are all completed alone?

Even a strong person like Hatake Sakumo needs to form a team. After completing the task, isn't it reasonable to add a contribution to the teammates that they participated in the S-level task?

Not to mention the status among the ninjas, just in the family, they can be one step ahead of their peers.

With reputation and resume, the next step is the position of family elder and clan leader.

Jiraiya saw Minato's heartless look and felt that Minato's smile was half Wu Bai. He couldn't help but wonder, is his favorite disciple really suitable to be Hokage?
