Chapter 118: Fish slipping through the net in compulsory education

At the end of Konoha 47, the Three War ended.

The Third Hokage failed to gain benefits for Konoha in this battle, and chose peace talks with a huge advantage.

Therefore, the third generation of Hokage must be responsible for this battle. Under pressure from all parties, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to step down as Hokage.

Before he retired, he highly recommended the yellow flash who became famous in this battle, Namikaze Minato!

Danzo also strongly recommended his partner Orochimaru, who also had a shining point in this battle.

"Minato Namikaze single-handedly planned the battle of Kannabi Bridge!"

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Hiruzen Sarutobi said these words to the daimyo. As expected, this was a big killer!

"Oh? It looks really amazing!"

The daimyo covered his mouth with a fan and said with some shock. The other daimyo were also shocked by the news.

Although Orochimaru initially fought with the Four-Tailed and Five-Tailed Ones, he and the Five-Tailed Ones both suffered losses.

They still don't know that the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki is dead. This will need to wait for subsequent investigations or the Five-Tails to be resurrected.

It was this uncertain battle that gave Orochimaru some fame.

On the other hand, Namikaze Minato was really outstanding in this battle.

One person fights against the Abby team of Kumogakure Village, one person fights against more than 60 ninjas from Iwagakure Village, one person leads the battle of Kannabi Bridge, etc.

"In this case, Minato Namikaze will be the next Hokage!"

The daimyo made the final decision and decided the position of the next Hokage. Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression immediately relaxed, while Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen hatefully.

Can it be said that he is worthy of his old rival Hiruzen Sarutobi, who has been overwhelming him for so many years.

This reminded him of what the second Hokage had said to him:

"You will always be like this, playing smart, showing off yourself, and grabbing credit. Sooner or later, this kind of character will lead to bad things. If you don't change, don't follow me anymore!"

Even if he was unwilling, Danzo could only bite his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

After the next Hokage was confirmed, the news spread back to Konoha and the whole village was excited.

Hyakusen Minato will take over as the next Hokage!

Metkai trotted up to Kakashi with excitement on his face and shared this matter with him.

Since Kakashi lost his two companions, Obito and Lin, his whole person has become depressed, and his already silent character has become even more silent.

Simply having Metkai, a carefree little brother, enlighten him, but it didn't make his character become withdrawn.

"Kakashi, did you hear that Minato-senpai is going to take over as Hokage!"

"Oh!"

Kakashi didn't seem to hear it, and he still sat on the chair indifferently, and his expression didn't even change at all.

"Are you still blaming Minato-sensei?"

Seeing his expression, Metkay's excited expression also cooled down, and then he asked with some concern.

It turned out that when Obito was killed in battle, Minato was late, and when Rin was killed in battle, Minato was performing other tasks. It would be impossible for an ordinary person to not have any ideas.

But Kakashi really doesn't blame Minato. He can be called a genius. His mind is not stupid.

Not to mention that it was all the enemy's conspiracy, he was already a Jonin. If he relied on others to support him in everything, he would put his life in the hands of others.

So if he still wants to be a jounin, he can just go back to the ninja school and rebuild himself.

"No, of course I'm happy Minato-sensei becomes Hokage!"

After saying that, Kakashi got up and walked in one direction. Metkai looked at him suspiciously, then came to his senses and followed his footsteps.

After a while, Metkai knew where Kakashi was going, the cemetery in Konoha.

This exciting news needs to be shared with Obito and Lin as soon as possible.

As the saying goes, one general's achievements lead to thousands of bones. The past generations of Hokage have stepped on white bones to rise to the top. Behind the Hokage is the accumulation of life and blood.

When the two came to the cemetery, they also saw two familiar faces.

"Lord Orochimaru, I would like to ask you what is the meaning of ninja?"

A half-grown child of four or five years old was standing in front of Orochimaru, asking questions with a respectful expression.

Orochimaru also didn't expect that the inertia of the plot would be so strong. The little guy Uchiha Itachi came to ask him for advice just like in the original work.

"If you want to understand the meaning of ninja, you must understand your mission and the meaning of your life!"

Different from the original work, Orochimaru did not talk to him about the eternity of life or the mystery of ninjutsu.

In this life, Itachi still wanted to kill him instantly with a look, and also wanted to teach him a lesson, what was he dreaming about?

However, he did not rely on the nonsense of his seniors, but combined Itachi's life to give him guidance.

Isn't his mission to safeguard the glory of Uchiha, to maintain the stability of the village, and to live for his brother?

His life has already been doomed, and as long as he understands these things, he will no longer be confused.

Itachi was slightly startled after hearing this. He originally thought he could get the answer directly, but unexpectedly he was asked three questions by the soul, which really surprised him.

Although his little face is still a little immature, his eyes have gradually become mature.

Orochimaru knew that this was a look that was honed on the battlefield. He had this extraordinary awareness at a young age. He seemed to see his own figure as a child, and he was even more outstanding.

It wasn't Orochimaru who wanted to flatter himself, but he was spotted by Sarutobi Hiruzen at the age of 5. In terms of ninjutsu alone, his talent was the strongest among the three ninjas.

In terms of ideological awareness, Orochimaru will think about the meaning of life at the age of 5. If he is much worse than Itachi, Orochimaru will never admit it.

"Everyone has to go through this stage. When they see a mountain, they want to know what is behind the mountain.

I want to tell you that maybe if you climb over, you will find that there is nothing behind the mountain.

Looking back, you will feel that it is better here, but you don’t believe it. With your character, you will not be willing to give it a try! "

37 years of snake life experience is more than enough to serve as a life mentor for Itachi. Orochimaru, who has survived a hundred battles, shared all practical information.

Itachi's heart seemed to be severely tugged when he heard these words. Could it be that Orochimaru saw what he wanted to do?

But when he met Orochimaru's deep eyes, he quickly lowered his head.

"Thank you Orochimaru-senpai!"

After finishing speaking, Itachi bowed to Orochimaru and left politely.

Little did he know that Orochimaru's last words would be useful to everyone who had a story to tell. It could be said to be like panacea.

It's just that Itachi was thinking wildly after hearing such profound words at a young age.

Every age has things that every age should think about and do. If you are too premature, you will lose the happiness you deserve.

“I don’t know whether I should be sad or happy!”

Orochimaru shook his head. There were no similarities between the two. Itachi wanted to change Uchiha by himself, while Orochimaru wanted to change the entire Konoha through bloody revolution.

The method is equally radical, and it is also a fish that has slipped through the nine-year compulsory education!
