Chapter 156 The Fourth Hokage Campaign

"What is Danzo doing with his arms?"

Che remembered that Danzo had a bandage on one of his hands.

"Used to transplant cells between pillars."

Orochimaru made no secret of Danzo's purpose.

Che's eyes flashed slightly and he murmured: "Hillary cells..."

"This is the research for your collaboration with Danzo, right?"

I remember that as early as when Danzo first recruited Che, Orochimaru mentioned the so-called cooperative research at the root organization base.

"That's right." Orochimaru had a half-smile expression on his face.

Che nodded slightly and asked, "What is Danzo doing in the Land of Rain?"

"I don't know. It is said that he is cooperating with Hanzo."

Orochimaru shrugged.

So Che stopped asking questions, and he didn't really care about Danzo.

Orochimaru said playfully: "Danzo should be returning to the village soon. One of the deals I made with him is that he will elect me to become Hokage when the third generation takes the blame and resigns."

After saying that, Orochimaru paused for a moment, looked at Che and asked: "Che-kun, do you think I can become the Fourth Hokage?"

"With all due respect...can't."

Che stated his point of view calmly.

"That's it." Orochimaru nodded calmly and said nothing more.

It seemed that Orochimaru didn't care about the position of Hokage, and he didn't seem to have any reaction to Che's answer.

But Che felt Orochimaru's emotional fluctuations, and used his six eyes to observe the loss hidden in Orochimaru's eyes.

In Che's view, Orochimaru does not care about the position of Hokage, nor does he care about the position of Hokage.

Orochimaru knew that there was competition from Namikaze Minato and that he basically had no hope of becoming Hokage.

But Orochimaru still wanted to try. After all, Orochimaru was the disciple of the Third Hokage.

Orochimaru has always had special feelings for his master in his heart, because Orochimaru is the third generation Hokage's most beloved disciple.

Orochimaru continued to explain other research in his institute, as if the question he just asked was not his.

The two talked for a long time in the research institute before Che left.

It happened to be dinner time, and Che was going back to Yuhi's house for dinner.

"Red, I'm back."

Che shouted as he rang the doorbell.

However, Che felt the presence of three people in the house. In addition to Yuhi Hong and Yuhi Zhenhong, there was also the presence of one person.

Hong came to the door and opened it for Che.

"Che, Uncle Fugaku is here."

"I know."

Che calmly touched Hong's head.

"Don't touch my head, I won't grow taller."

Hong's little mouth pouted, and she said with a sullen look on her face.

Che chuckled twice, entered the entrance hall, changed his shoes, and walked into the house.

"Uncle Zhenhong, captain."

Che saw Yuhi Makoto and Uchiha Fugaku sitting on the sofa talking.

"Well, I'm back." Xiri Zhenhong looked at Che with kind and kind eyes like an old father.

Fugaku then mentioned what his precious son told him today, "Che, I heard Itachi say that you led him to sign the Yatagarasu psychic contract and also told him the meaning of life."

"Yes, it happened that Itachi was seen by my psychic beast Yatagarasu." Che nodded and came to sit next to the two of them.

Yuhi Zhenhong looked at the two people next to her, then stood up and said: "Fugaku, you can stay and eat tonight, I will take the spoon."

Before Fugaku could say anything, Yuhi Mahong called for Kurenai to help.

Fugaku seemed to be aware of Yuhi Zhenhong's intention, so he did not refuse.

"Che, do you know that the third generation is going to take the blame and resign?"

"I've heard of it." Che nodded.

"So, what do you think about the election of the Fourth Hokage?" Fugaku asked again.

"What do you think? I actually don't know about the Fourth Hokage's campaign." Che was asked this question for the second time today.

"Among the candidates running now, there are Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru. Of course, there are also some who choose me, but most of them are from our clan." Fugaku simply explained the current situation.

Che nodded and said: "So no matter who is elected, Uchiha's situation will be better than now, right?"

There was a hint of surprise on Fugaku's face, and then it turned into understanding.

"Yes, you are right."

Fugaku caressed his eyes and sighed: "I didn't expect that I can't see it as clearly as you."

Fugaku's implication is that his kaleidoscope ability can predict the future, but he can't see it more clearly than Che.

However, Fugaku had long been accustomed to Che's sensitivity and intelligence, so he accepted it calmly.

A few days later, the Third Hokage officially resigned. At the same time, the Third Hokage and other senior Konoha officials held a high-level meeting to begin nominating candidates for the next Hokage.

meeting room.

"Let's start the nominations. Konoha cannot live without a Hokage for a day. After nominating candidates, we still need the appointment of daimyo and the vote of the Jonin Council."

"So, let's solve it as soon as possible."

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was a little low and his face was serious. After all, he had just resigned at the meeting and was now the former Hokage of Konoha Village.

"Orochimaru is good." Danzo held his hands in front of him and his eyes were quite sharp.

In addition to the reason for cooperation, Orochimaru's character is also more in line with the taste of a hawkish leader like Danzo, although Orochimaru occasionally contradicts Danzo.

However, even if Orochimaru is proposed as a candidate, it does not mean that he does not desire the position of Hokage.

This was also the reason why Danzo showed a sharp look.

Danzo still coveted the position of Hokage in his heart. When the second-generation Hokage chose the next Hokage, Danzo thought that he only lost because of his slow reaction and missed a move.

Now that Sarutobi Hiruzen has abdicated, his disciple Orochimaru taking over seems to be one of the most reasonable choices.

But Danzo knew that Orochimaru was obsessed with research and was not interested in political power.

At that time, Danzo would have the opportunity to touch the throne of Hokage.

Of course, this is Danzo's wishful thinking.

"No, Orochimaru is my apprentice. I know him best. He is cold-tempered and ambitious. He does not have the will of fire in his heart and cannot assume the important responsibility of Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen dismissed his favorite disciple with one sentence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was not relaxed either, because he had had high hopes for Orochimaru since he was a child.

Orochimaru possesses five attributes of chakra and is extremely talented in ninjutsu. He should have inherited Hokage according to the path set by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

It's a pity that Orochimaru grew longer and crooked after his parents died on the battlefield, and now he has become a gloomy and gloomy person who hides in the research institute all day long to conduct some unknown research.

For a traditional ninja like Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru was obviously not what he thought was a suitable successor.

Danzo lowered his head upon hearing this, his dark hair covering his eyes.

"Where's Jiraiya?" Mito Monobu recommended.

"Jiraiya is no good. He is too free-spirited and unfit to be Hokage." Hiruzen Sarutobi objected again.

"Where's Tsunade?" Koharu, who is also a female, recommended.

"Tsunade has not recovered from the psychological trauma after the last ninja war and cannot be Hokage." Hiruzen Sarutobi objected again.

"If there's no other suitable candidate, let me nominate one."

"Namikaze Minato."
