Chapter 65 The deal between Orochimaru and Danzo

It didn't take long for four ANBU ninjas to appear where Kakashi and Satoru were standing. Looking at the deep ravine that appeared in front of them, all four of them were shocked.

"What ninjutsu is this?"

"Is it possible that the one who can cause so much damage to the ground is Earth Escape?"

"No matter what, this matter must be reported to Hokage-sama first."

After all, the noise Satoru made just now was too big, and it was normal for him to be discovered.

"Are there traces of unknown ninjutsu outside the village? Strengthen patrols outside the village. Although the war is over, we must not take it lightly."

The Third Hokage said seriously.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Although the big war has ended, small-scale frictions are already happening continuously, and from time to time there will be battles between teams from different villages.

In this way, this stumbling battle has continued for more than a year. Until now, each village is still fighting for the compensation that its own village can receive.

But what is understandable is that Konoha is the ultimate beneficiary of the Third Ninja War.

The Cloud Ninja Village, which was the first to initiate the war, would definitely be the first to compensate the losses of each village, followed by the Mist Ninja Village. In order to redeem the seven ninja swords, Konoha almost lost half of their family wealth.

This year, Hatake Satoru was thirteen years old, Kakashi was thirteen years old, and the Third Ninja World War had completely ended in this year.

"Hiruzen, it's time for you to abdicate."

On this day, the Third Hokage and the elders of Konoha Village were sitting in a conference room, discussing the matter of the Third Hokage's abdication.

"Our village must also give the villagers an explanation for the losses caused by this battle."

Xiaochun said after turning to bed.

"I know."

The Third Hokage took two puffs of cigarette, his expression slightly melancholy. After all, after staying in the position of Hokage for so many years, he still felt a little reluctant to leave.

"Have you decided who the next heir will be?"

Mito Kadenen also asked. After hearing this, Danzo, who had his eyes closed at the side, immediately opened his eyes and stared directly at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I have made my decision. The Fourth Hokage will be Minato Namikaze. Regardless of his strength, talent, and strategy, he is fully qualified to be the Fourth Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have not noticed Danzo's gaze and spoke to himself.

Upon hearing this, Danzo's eyes widened instantly. Although he had already known that the outcome of the matter would be like this, when Hiruzen announced it himself, he was still very unwilling.

"Well, Minato does have this qualification, and he has a good reputation among ordinary people."

Mito Menyan nodded in agreement.

"Then since the decision has been made long ago, let Minato take over as Hokage as soon as possible to give an explanation to the people."

"Um."

Hiruzen nodded.

Then, the news that Minato would become the Fourth Hokage immediately spread in the village, and everyone had a smile on their face, because everyone in the village recognized this yellow flash.

"The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze?"

In an experimental base, when Orochimaru heard the news, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.

Although he had long known that the position of Hokage might no longer be available to him, he was once one of the candidates for the Fourth Hokage after all.

Now that he was defeated for no reason, it really made him feel very unhappy.

But now he really has nothing to remember about the position of Hokage. After all, he has more important things to do now.

Thinking of his comrades who kept dying in front of him in the Second Ninja War and the Third Ninja War, Orochimaru felt that human life was really fragile, as if it would break with the slightest touch.

But this is not what Orochimaru wants, he wants eternal life.

"Orochimaru."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind Orochimaru. Upon hearing this familiar voice, Orochimaru already knew who it was.

"Duanzo, why did you come to me?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said, now that the candidate for the Fourth Hokage has been established, both of them are losers.

"As Hiruzen's disciple, it's really ridiculous that the successor he chose is not you."

Hearing what Danzo said, Orochimaru's expression immediately darkened.

"Do you have anything else? If not, you can leave. You are not very welcome here."

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, several little snakes surrounded Danzo, spitting snake letters as if they were threatening the other party.

But Danzo didn't even look at these little snakes.

"Orochimaru, do you know why Hiruzen chose Namikaze Minato?"

"Huh, if you have the ability, strength, and heart, isn't it normal to succeed as the Fourth Hokage?"

Danzo and Orochimaru also have strength and ability, but they are lacking in the aspect of human heart.

"I don't think you can't figure it out. Hiruzen is just concerned about the rights of the Hokage. Choosing Namikaze Minato is just a puppet that is easy to control."

"You think Minato is too simple, Danzo, you don't really think that when Minato succeeds as Hokage, my teacher will still have room to intervene. All his rights will slowly be taken away by Minato. , no one who runs for Hokage is without ambition, both you and me, we all have our own goals that we want to achieve.

If you want to achieve this goal, you must not let outsiders interfere, and the same is naturally true for Minato.

But it is useless to say anything here. The facts have been decided and the result cannot be changed.

Tell me, what do you want to do with me? You can go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. "

"I know what you are doing now. Are all the missing children in the village related to you recently?"

Hearing Danzo say this, a murderous aura erupted directly from Orochimaru's body.

"It doesn't have to be like this. Although you are pretty strong, you can't kill me."

"Tell me your conditions?"

Orochimaru said directly that since Danzo didn't expose his affairs, he must have something to ask him for.

"I need you to study the blood inheritance limits of the First Hokage. I want to get the Wood Release."

When he said the last two words, a hint of fanaticism suddenly flashed across Danzo's pupils.

"Wood Escape? It's indeed an interesting subject."

Orochimaru's pupils also showed interest.

"But if you want to study Wood Release, you must first get the remains of the First Hokage. I have no way to get that thing."

"Don't worry, just leave these to me. I only need a result."

"Okay, that's settled."

In this way, a series of secret agreements or transactions were reached between Orochimaru and Danzo.
