Chapter 149 Please call me Hokage!
"Teacher Hiruzen, Orochimaru, what's going on with you? Why did you suddenly..."
Jiraiya was full of doubts, but he couldn't help asking first.
Orochimaru smiled:
"Why? Jiraiya, do you also oppose me being the Hokage?"
"No, no... I just..."
"How about you be the Hokage?"
"Me? No, no, I'm not that kind of material at all!"
Jiraiya immediately shook his head and refused, fearing that the crown of Hokage would really fall on his head.
Compared to the heavy work of Hokage, he still prefers to travel and collect materials as he pleases.
"Jiraiya, you are still so naive!"
"Give up everything for an illusory prophecy..."
"Or is this your true nature?"
Orochimaru deliberately sneered, he just couldn't stand Jiraiya's casual look.
Always pretending to be casual, but when he really lost something he cherished, he felt more guilty than anyone else.
Lived in cowardice and self-blame all his life.
What kind of bullshit "lecherous sage" do you call yourself?
Pah!
If regret is useful, what's the point of ninjutsu?
"I... the prediction of the Great Toad Sage can't be wrong, I must find the child of prophecy! And, I, I may have found it..."
"Are you talking about that kid called Naruto?"
"Yes! But I'm not sure yet..."
"Humph! Always like to pin your hopes on others. Jiraiya, you haven't changed at all in all these years!"
"Orochimaru! What qualifications do you have to say about me..."
Jiraiya retorted indignantly. Regardless of whether it was planned or not, he was still dissatisfied with Orochimaru's attack on the village.
"Jiraiya, I'm the Hokage!"
"Orochimaru, you..."
Jiraiya was choked, but unfortunately there was no door around for him to slam and leave.
"Enough!"
"If you two want to quarrel, go somewhere else!"
Sarutobi shouted, brought out the teacher's shelf, and stopped the dispute between the two.
…
"Jiraiya, are you going to leave the village again this time?"
The third generation took a puff of cigarette and asked faintly.
"I don't think so in the short term. I will continue to teach Naruto for a while."
"Then stay and assist Orochimaru. You are all my disciples, and you should work together to help each other."
Once, Sarutobi Hiruzen also considered letting Jiraiya succeed him.
But on the one hand, he was too obsessed with traveling, and on the other hand, his personality was not suitable for being a Hokage.
If he succeeded the Hokage, he would probably change all the baths in the village to mixed baths on the same day, and then build dozens of baths, right?
But if he was to assist the Hokage, it would be a good choice.
At least his strength and qualifications are there. Orochimaru + Jiraiya alone are enough to suppress most of the objections in the village.
"I, I will consider it."
Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru, his old face was embarrassed, and he tactfully agreed.
"But, old man, why do you suddenly want to pass the throne to him?"
Sarutobi and Orochimaru looked at each other and chose to conceal it tacitly for the time being.
After all, there was not enough time just now, and they didn't know where the first and second generations came from? How did they come back to life?
When they meet next time, they will ask clearly.
It's not too late to tell Jiraiya.
"The specific situation is more complicated. I'll tell you when the time is right."
Jiraiya touched his head, not knowing what the old man was talking about.
But he didn't like to get stuck in a rut, so he stopped tangling with this issue.
"In short, from now on, Orochimaru is the new fifth generation Hokage, right?"
"Of course!"
Orochimaru grinned, feeling unusually happy.
"Don't be too happy too early. It's hard to say for others, but that Danzo obviously won't let you succeed easily."
Jiraiya is not stupid, or most people, as long as they are not blind, can see that Danzo covets the position of Hokage.
With his understanding of Danzo, the latter will never give up easily.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Orochimaru is not stupid. He has to face those difficulties and deal with those opponents when he becomes Hokage. He has already planned and rehearsed many times.
It's just that the old man never gave him a chance.
Now the opportunity is in hand, and it's legitimate.
I can't beat a mere Danzo? That's too much of an underestimation of me, Orochimaru, right?
The only thing Orochimaru cares about is Sarutobi's attitude.
"Old man, can you kill him?"
Sarutobi was slightly startled.
After pondering for a long time, he still couldn't bear it:
"Try to keep him alive!"
"Although he has done a lot of dirty work and made a lot of mistakes."
"But it's still for the village, so keep him alive if you can."
"If he really resists, it's okay to abolish his ninjutsu."
"In the last few years, I will take care of him personally..."
Hearing this, Orochimaru licked his lips fiercely.
"Okay, I'll try my best to save his life!"
The old man was so indecisive in the end and indulged Danzo; Orochimaru was obviously very disdainful in his heart, but seeing that the old man was very tactful, it was not a bad idea to give him a face in the end.
Anyway, one of Orochimaru's goals was just to surpass Sarutobi and prove that he was better than his teacher.
Killing Danzo or not was actually not important.
If Danzo really refuses to repent, he can arrange a sound ninja to send him off, and then let Sarutobi deal with the scapegoat. It is not impossible.
Orochimaru has many means!
…
Not long after.
Just as the three of them were chatting.
Kakashi and Red Bean also brought back the injured Sasuke and the other two.
After seeing Sasuke and Naruto, Orochimaru licked his lips fiercely, and the greed in his eyes was not concealed.
"Orochimaru, I warn you, don't think about Naruto!"
Jiraiya flashed in front of Naruto, while checking his injuries, he turned back to warn Orochimaru.
He still protects his own disciples.
Besides, Naruto is very likely the legendary son of prophecy!
"Please call me Hokage!"
"You..."
Kakashi and the others looked at each other, not daring to participate in the quarrel between the new Hokage and his old friend.
However, he still carefully dragged Sasuke behind him, guarding against Orochimaru's covetousness.
Of course.
Sasuke himself was even more confused.
In the previous Chunin Exam, Orochimaru attacked them several times, and Team 7 had long regarded them as enemies.
Even though Sasuke envied Orochimaru's strength, he never regarded him as a good person.
And how did he suddenly become the new Hokage?
Wasn't the Third Hokage still alive?
What did he and others miss?
…
Orochimaru didn't care about Jiraiya's warning. He did covet the Nine-Tails very much, but at this stage he was obviously more interested in Sasuke.
After all, the painful experience of being defeated by Itachi in seconds has always been on Orochimaru's mind.
He has relied on his talent and hard work to get to where he is now, and you actually told him that all his efforts are not as good as his innate bloodline and eyes.
His life and pursuit are like a joke?
How can Orochimaru accept it?
He targeted Sasuke just to fight for this breath, to see if he could defeat the so-called bloodline!
"Sasuke? Don't hide, I won't eat you."
"Come here quickly."
"Now you are the only one awake, tell me what happened to you? Has the tailed beast of Sand Village been unsealed?"
Orochimaru waved at Sasuke, trying his best to squeeze out a "nuclear-kind" smile on his face.
Kakashi was obviously a little worried.
But Jiraiya and the third generation Sarutobi were there, and in front of so many people, Orochimaru couldn't do anything bad to Sasuke.
Besides, they had no qualifications or reasons to disobey the "new Hokage".
He could only let Sasuke show his head and began to retell everything that had just happened.
Sasuke suppressed many doubts in his heart and described the events that had just happened truthfully.
When they heard that Gaara had actually unsealed and released the one-tailed Shukaku, everyone was shocked.
It's hard to imagine that three ninjas can still escape from the hands of the tailed beast?
And it's even more shocking when it comes to the end.
Gamabunta summoned by Naruto, and the mysterious ANBU ninja that suddenly appeared.
Everyone couldn't believe it.
They all suspected that Sasuke was under some illusion?
Kakashi: An ANBU ninja who can kill the tailed beast alone? So powerful? Why haven't I seen it before? And he can also use Rasengan?
Might Guy: There is such a powerful ninja in the village? I must find him to exchange the art of youth!
As for Sarutobi, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, they were even more shocked:
Yellow hair? Wearing a mask? Extremely fast? Can he also use Rasengan?
Hiss...
A yellow light flashed in Orochimaru's mind...
Could it be that guy? ! !
Considering that the first and second generations have appeared, it seems that it is not unacceptable to add another dead fourth generation?
No wonder the second generation Tobirama said that the tailed beast is not a concern.
In front of that guy, the small one-tailed Shukaku can indeed be easily controlled.
Although it is not certain, it is likely to be correct.
There was no other way, Orochimaru could only secretly warn himself:
It seems that I have to be gentler to Naruto in the future.
At least when studying him, I have to inject two more anesthetics and feed him a few more bowls of ramen.
That kid had a hard childhood, a few more bowls of ramen should be enough to deal with him.
As for Sasuke!
He is helpless in the village, so he is at my mercy?
Hehehehe...
