Chapter 280 Kakugi-san, I want to be Hokage

Kadomu shook his head and said, "No, I don't think now is the best time to end the war with Kirigakure."

"Kirigakure is currently severely lacking in high-end combat power, and the assassination technique that we are proud of has been restrained by our side. Although Kirigakure now occupies a large area of Fire Country territory, even if we do not increase our troops, we alone are enough to drive Kirigakure back. Go to the sea.”

"At that time, the conditions for our peace talks will be better."

Minato nodded in approval, let out a long sigh, and said, "Yeah, what a shame."

Kakugi glanced at Minato indifferently. He didn't know whether it was a pity for him to end the war prematurely, a pity for Orochimaru, or both.

"Maybe it's because the village's power is really too nervous." Minato said calmly.

"Yeah, it's one against four every time, so nervous." Kazuoki shook his head helplessly, raised his eyes, and met Minato's gaze.

"Hahaha!"

For some reason, the two of them suddenly laughed while looking at each other.

After a while, their laughter stopped.

"Hey, Kakugi-san, have you heard from Jiraiya-sensei that I might be the child of prophecy?"

Minato bent his elbows and pushed against the corner wood.

"Ah, I heard from senior brother Jiraiya and the toads, what's wrong?"

Kazuoki looked at Minato and said, his big clear eyes blinking constantly.

Minato was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, grabbed Kakugi's neck, and growled in a low voice: "You kid, call me Minato-sama!"

"Huh? This is what you said, let me spare the adults!"

"Canceled!"

The two struggled for a while, and finally Minato relied on the strength and size advantage of an adult to successfully pin Kakuzu to the ground.

Fortunately, this place is remote and has not been discovered by others.

Otherwise, the images of Golden Flash and Burning Release Hornwood would collapse.

"Huh...huh..."

Minato climbed off Kakugi and the two leaned against the tree, panting.

Minato nervously arranged his hair, while Kakuzu knocked off the debris of grass and trees stuck to his body.

They looked up and looked at each other, unable to help but smile again.

"Hahaha!"

The laughter between the two people was full of joy from the heart.

After the laughter, Minato and Kakugi continued to lean against the tree trunk, looking up at the sky, falling into a strange silence.

Both Kadomu and Minato seemed to be thinking about something.

Suddenly, Minato spoke up to break the unspeakable silence.

"Hey, Kadaki-san. I want to be Hokage."

Minato didn't even raise his head, as if he had mentioned it accidentally while chatting.

But from an angle that Kakugi couldn't see, his eyes were extremely serious.

"Okay." Kadomu looked at the blue sky and smiled lightly.

Until the two of them returned to the barracks, they didn't say anything else.

it is more than words.

------

Just one day later, there was movement in the distant Kirigakure camp. According to reports from investigators, a large number of Kirigakure ninjas had begun to evacuate.

Almost at the same time, Orochimaru also received an official document from the village. Orochimaru was transferred back to the Anbu to resume his post. His rank was promoted to captain, and the commander of the Kirigakure camp was replaced by Namikaze Minato.

Judging from Kakugi's experience working in ANBU, Orochimaru will only hold the title of ANBU Captain this time, and he will probably have to return to his roots.

On the ANBU command side, there is also Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

After the death of Konoha White Fang, Sarutobi Shinnosuke has been under temporary command without appointing a new ANBU minister. This is a very obvious signal.

According to an insider, Mitarai Anko revealed that it was the first time she saw Teacher Orochimaru lose his temper, and his face was so dark that ink dripped.

Just when he was about to reap the fruits of victory, even though this was not the kind of victory Orochimaru wanted, Orochimaru was transferred back to the village.

Almost the moment after receiving the order, Orochimaru began to pack his luggage, and he did not have a good look towards the Konoha ninja who came to test his words.

Even Anko suffered from Orochimaru's scolding.

Then regardless of the fact that it was getting dark, he took Hongdou and left the camp.

Behind them were a large number of masked ninjas who left together. They should undoubtedly be the root ninjas who followed Orochimaru this time.

Although Anko was a little reluctant to leave after seeing Kadomu just now, she could only follow her teacher back to Konoha and bid farewell to Kadomu.

Kakugi watched Orochimaru leave, sighing secretly in his heart.

Even though Orochimaru is not a positive character, Teacher Sandai was still a little too hasty this time.

The impact was not only on Orochimaru, but also many ninjas who secretly followed Orochimaru were affected, and they all felt the chill coming from the top of the village.

Judging from this time, Orochimaru's dream of becoming Hokage has basically been shattered.

It is obvious that neither the Third Generation nor Danzo wants Orochimaru to be Hokage, and Danzo's support for Orochimaru is probably just words.

Ninjas like Kakugi and Minato, who were clearly different from Orochimaru, felt sorry for the changes in the war situation caused by this decision.

I am afraid that it was the village's decision this time that planted the seeds for Orochimaru's future defection.

Of course, it's not all bad news.

Since Konoha and Kirigakure have effectively ceased war, many missions previously sent out have lost the need to continue.

So Minato Namikaze, the commander who took over Orochimaru, immediately issued an order to recall many teams that were performing missions outside.

The night after Orochimaru left, Umino Ikkaku returned to the camp with his Umino class.

Even though I was a little bit disgraced from the journey, I finally came back with all my hair and tail intact.

"Dad!"

After learning about Umino Ikkaku's return, Kakugi rushed to his father's barracks as soon as possible.

Counting the time, father and son have not seen each other for more than half a year.

Kakugi forcibly suppressed his excitement and walked to his father's side. The father in his eyes has already grown gray hair.

Looking at Kazuoki who had grown taller in front of him, Umino Kazuo was filled with emotions.

"You have grown up again, son." Umino Ikkaku looked at his proud son and gently stroked Kazuoki's hair.

"You've grown so tall, and soon I won't be able to touch your head like this."

Kadomu is already twelve and a half years old, which is also the age when his height suddenly increases. Now he has grown to over 1.6 meters, which is half a head shorter than his father.

"Of course! I'm still very long!" Kazuoki raised his chin pretending to be proud.

"Ha! You brat!"

Although Umino's mouth was unforgiving, his eyes were full of pride and love.

"By the way, boy, come with me." Umino Ikkaku smiled mysteriously at Kazuoki, and walked out while saying this to Kazuoki.

Kakumu didn't know what was going on, so he followed his father out.
