Chapter 98

"Are you worried?"

"I don't have any."

After hearing Mei Terumi's answer, Master Yuan smiled: "Is it that Uchiha Mirai kid?"

Mei Terumi widened her eyes: "Master Yuan, how did you know?"

Master Yuan said indifferently: "That guy is indeed good-looking, but he is a complete dangerous person."

"You'd better stay away from him."

Mei Terumi fell silent after hearing this.

Master Yuan was right, Uchiha Mirai was indeed a dangerous person.

Such a person, no matter how much he fits her aesthetic taste, she must never fall for him.

But...

Such a handsome guy is really hard to find!

Throwing away the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Mei Terumi glanced at the Master: "Master, you seem to be in a good mood."

The Master smiled: "Of course, this peace talk went very smoothly."

"As long as we act a little stronger, Konoha's Third Hokage will immediately make concessions, but only ask for some war reparations."

"And... in order to be on good terms with Kirigakure, he took the initiative to return the seven ninja swords to us."

"It's a pity that the Three-Tails was sealed into his body by Uchiha Mirai, and there is no hope of taking it away."

"It's our luck that Konoha Village has such a Hokage."

After listening to what the Master said, Mei Terumi was a little surprised.

You know, Kirigakure was not only the party that took the initiative to provoke the war, but also suffered a disastrous defeat in the war with Konoha.

Originally, they were ready to bleed heavily when they came, but they didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to be so generous.

"Hahahahahaha... this time we have lived up to everyone's expectations."

The master laughed heartily.

Mei Terumi was also very happy at first, but the figure of Uchiha Mirai suddenly flashed in her mind.

Thinking of what Uchiha Mirai had said to her, Mei Terumi could not help but become silent again.

The Third Hokage was indeed very weak, but he was already old.

Once the next Hokage came to power, would Konoha still be like this?

Especially the representative of the new generation of Konoha ninjas, Uchiha Mirai, still dreamed of unifying the ninja world.

Once the Konoha regime changed, he became the party that took the initiative.

What kind of situation would the ninja world be in?

"Mei Terumi, why are you distracted again?"

After hearing what Master Yuan said, Mei Terumi came back to her senses and said in a deep voice: "Master Yuan, we must not take it lightly."

"The Hidden Mist Village must continue to become stronger!"

Master Yuan looked at Mei Terumi with some surprise and said softly: "Mei Terumi, you have changed a lot these days."

"But don't worry, no matter how the ninja world changes, the Hidden Mist Village must be one of the strongest ninja villages."

Mei Terumi sighed softly.

I hope so.

The Hidden Mist Village delegation left.

The specific details of the negotiations were not revealed, and even many villagers did not know that the Hidden Mist Village delegation had come to Konoha.

In recent days, the attention of the villagers of Konoha has been attracted by another thing.

"Have you heard that there are a lot of rumors about Orochimaru recently. It seems that Orochimaru is involved in some very serious things."

"Keep your voice down... I heard that Orochimaru seems to be secretly conducting human experiments."

"How is it possible? Orochimaru is the disciple of the Sandaime. After the Sandaime abdicates, Orochimaru is likely to be the Fourth Hokage."

"Who knows? Anyway, everyone is saying that Orochimaru secretly uses criminals and orphans to conduct human experiments. It can't be groundless, right?"

"I absolutely don't believe this kind of thing. Without Orochimaru, I would have died on the battlefield. Someone must be slandering Orochimaru!"

In the first few days, everyone scoffed at the so-called rumors.

But as time went on, the villagers of Konoha began to have doubts in their hearts.

If the matter was false, how could it be spread so widely in Konoha?

And... until now, neither the Sandaime nor Orochimaru himself has come out to clarify.

Is there really something hidden in this?

Hokage Building.

Hokage Office.

Shimura Danzo pushed open the door and walked in with a cane.

"Hiruzen, what do you want me to do?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "Danzo, did you send someone to spread the news about Orochimaru?"

Shimura Danzo said indifferently: "So what?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table suddenly: "Danzo, you acted without my consent!"

"Do you want the incident with Hatake Sakumo to happen again?"

Shimura Danzo snorted coldly, said disdainfully: "First of all - you acquiesced to what happened to Hatake Sakumo back then."

"You personally promoted him to the position of 'Hokage Half Sleeve', and watched him fall into the abyss with your own eyes."

"Secondly - I was just telling the truth about Orochimaru."

Looking at Shimura Danzo who was making a strong argument, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath: "No matter what, Orochimaru is my disciple and one of the candidates for the next Hokage in my heart."

"Danzo, you have crossed the line this time."

Hearing this, Shimura Danzo said firmly: "The most You should know that the relationship between Orochimaru and Uchiha Mirai is getting closer and closer, right? "

"If you let him become Hokage, the Uchiha clan will definitely be able to turn things around. Then won't the teacher and our decades of efforts be in vain?"

"Also... Orochimaru is no longer the civilian genius who had nothing back then. He is now the leader of the famous three ninjas in Konoha and has many followers."

"Now that he is in power, do we still have a say in Konoha?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly sat down in his seat.

What Shimura Danzo said makes sense. Orochimaru now has a high prestige and his own power.

Once he becomes Hokage, with Orochimaru's character, he will definitely not be willing to share power with these old guys.

In addition, Orochimaru is also entangled with Uchiha Mirai.

The most important thing is——

He doesn't plan to abdicate now, but the ninjas below have been speculating when Orochimaru will be able to take over as the next Hokage...

If this goes on, he will definitely be criticized if he continues to stay in the position of Hokage.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's uncertain expression, Shimura Danzo knocked on his cane: "Hiruzen, it was because of your weakness that Uchiha Mirai grew to this point."

"The same mistake, are you going to make it again?"

"Leave this to me, I will kill Orochimaru and get rid of the ninjas related to him."

"When the 'Root' was first established, it was used to do these things."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly raised his head, and his momentum burst out without any concealment.

Just like a lion suddenly awakened, the strong sense of oppression made Shimura Danzo a little frightened.

"Danzo, you don't have to worry about Orochimaru."

"Since you are my disciple, let me sever the bond between us."
