Chapter 892: The Fourth Hokage Orochimaru! (Great Chapter)
"Everyone...what do you think?"
When Orochimaru said these words.
The atmosphere in front of Konoha's gate suddenly condensed.
Even the night wind that blew from time to time seemed to be dissipating under the heavy air pressure.
With a smile on his face, Orochimaru glanced around at the clan leaders, elders, and civilian-born Jonin with twinkling eyes and heaving chests.
The attitude of these people is the key.
As for those chuunin and genin, they are not worth mentioning...
"Orochimaru!"
Just when everyone fell silent.
Jiraiya's forehead veins popped out, he pulled his neck and shouted angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about? The old man was just killed by the other party, and you want us to surrender?"
"That's right. In this battle, too many people died in both the village and our tribes. How can we just write it off like this?"
Uchiha Fugaku also expressed his attitude.
At the same time, he stared coldly at Orochimaru with a pair of red eyes that had turned into three magatama sharingan eyes.
Yashiro, Inari and more than a dozen jounin, and more than fifty chuunin who have activated the two magatama sharingan.
At least nearly a hundred Genin clan members who had activated the Magatama Sharingan died in the sea of trees.
This can be said to be a heavy loss for the current Uchiha clan, even more tragic than the Second Ninja War ten years ago.
How can we make him, a patriarch who has only just taken office, give up?
Even after he learned the approximate casualty list and number of people, he was so stimulated that he almost activated the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan!
Well, just a little bit...
at the same time.
Behind Uchiha Fugaku, the dozen or so surviving Uchiha ninjas headed by Uchiha Tekka also had angry faces.
Those pairs of scarlet Sharingan looked particularly bright and terrifying in this dark night environment.
"Hehehehe~"
However, who is Orochimaru, how could he be frightened by this scene?
Instead, after seeing the expressions of more people, he asked indifferently: "So you want to resist to the end and let these and those who are still alive go to the Pure Land to reunite?"
"this......"
Jiraiya opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know how to answer.
Uchiha Fugaku and others' expressions changed even more.
The other jounin around him could no longer hide the hesitation and struggle in their hearts.
Are they afraid of death?
Not too afraid, after all, we are all ninjas who have been through life and death all year round.
So do they want to die?
Of course I don’t want to, let alone my own relatives and family members, to die.
"Jiraiya, you, me, and everyone here should be clear about this."
Orochimaru saw this with a smile on his face, and continued to hit their already shaken minds with words.
"This time our opponent is not another ninja village in the same ninja world as us, but a large cross-world force from another world that has conquered several worlds."
"This means that we, who only have one world, are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength and resources."
"If our high-level combat power has the advantage, we may still have a certain winning rate."
"But everyone has seen that even if the first-generation Hokage-sama and the second-generation Hokage-sama who returned from the Pure Land join forces, they can only compete with one of the other army generals, and the outcome is unknown."
"Since we have absolutely no hope of victory or even confrontation, why not stop the loss in time and sit down and talk with the other party while we still have some strength?"
When Orochimaru said this.
People like Jiraiya and Uchiha Fugaku who were still resistant before, the anger in their hearts was gradually extinguished as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them.
Because they know that what Orochimaru said is true, or correct...
"Also, the other party has only sent one person now. Have you ever thought about what we should do when the other party invades on a large scale?"
The words were loud and clear, and all the Konoha ninjas in the room who could hear Orochimaru's words showed shock and fear on their faces.
yes!
There are tens of thousands of them, but they can't beat each other alone!
What if the other party sends 10,000 people?
A force that has conquered multiple worlds, not to mention tens of thousands of people, even millions of people can take it, right?
this moment.
The ninjas of Konoha finally realized how important Orochimaru's words were.
He was using this sentence to shatter the luck in their hearts, forcing them to face the naked and cruel reality.
"Jiraiya, do you want everyone in Konoha Village to die?"
"Fugaku-kun, as well as the clan leaders and elders of each clan, do you want your clan to be completely exterminated?"
Orochimaru's words became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Jiraiya shook his head with a bitter look on his face: "You... are right, we should consider everyone in the village..."
He suddenly understood why Miao Mushan chose to cut off contact with him.
It's probably the big toad sage who has 'seen' the future where the ninja world is conquered by the world government.
So in order not to offend the other party, I just chose to stay in seclusion.
But Jiraiya still had some resentment. Why didn't the Great Toad Sage tell him in advance?
But he didn't want to think about it. With his character, even if he was told in advance, how could he be willing to surrender to the intruder?
For people like him, words alone are useless. Only through personal experience can he become honest.
From this point of view.
The Great Toad Sage actually understands himself better than Jiraiya.
"Hehehehe~"
Orochimaru was very happy to see these people finally see the reality clearly.
He then used Earth Release to create a simple stone platform under his feet and lifted himself to a height of about five meters.
From here he can overlook everyone, and everyone can look up and see him.
The bright moon disk in the sky now became the best spotlight above Orochimaru's head, and the starlight in the sky was a beautiful background.
The constant roar of the battle in the distance provided him with the most shocking sound effects.
"Everyone in Konoha!"
"Now Konoha Village is at a critical moment of life and death!"
"Unfortunately, my teacher, the Sandaime Hokage, has died in battle!"
"But we need a Hokage to negotiate with the World Government to get the best interests of everyone in Konoha!"
"So I am here to officially recommend myself to become the fourth generation Hokage!"
"Who agrees and who opposes?"
Orochimaru's husky voice with great personal charm.
Although it didn't sound so high-spirited or heroic, it made most of the exhausted Konoha ninjas present feel inexplicably at ease.
Maybe it's because of this time.
Compared to hot-blooded strong men, they need calm leaders more, right?
"I agree."
The elder of the Hyuga clan spoke first.
"I agree."
This time it was Nara Shikaku, the leader of the Nara clan, mainly because he felt that only Orochimaru was suitable for Konoha at the moment.
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I agree."
A jounin-level ninja spoke one after another.
In the end, only the ninjas of the Uchiha clan remained silent. Their eyes were all focused on the head of their clan, Uchiha Fugaku.
"I....."
Uchiha Fugaku sighed, raised his hands and said, "Agree!"
"We don't agree!"
Just as he finished speaking, the mixed voices of a man and a woman spoke in unison.
Everyone turned back to look at the gate of Konoha Village.
I saw Mito Kaden and Koharu standing there, staring at Orochimaru on the stone platform with livid expressions.
"As for the first candidate for the next Hokage, we have already discussed it with our two advisors when the Sandaime Hokage was still here!"
Then the two of them looked through the layers of people and looked at someone.
"That's Jiraiya!"
Jiraiya, who had kept his head down, suddenly raised his head and looked at them in shock.
"Orochimaru, what you said does make sense, but you can help Jiraiya complete them!" Koharu said coldly as he went to bed.
"That's right, the Fourth Hokage, let's follow the advice of the Third Hokage." Mito Kadoyan also echoed from the side.
In fact, they also knew in their hearts that Orochimaru was more suitable to be Hokage.
But Orochimaru is too smart and rational.
If this becomes the Hokage, how can these two consultants have any say?
In comparison, the carefree Jiraiya is easier to support.
And because of his personality, he probably doesn't have the patience to sit in the office and process documents, so he will have to rely on them when the time comes.
"Hehehehe~"
Orochimaru on the stage smiled nonchalantly.
"This is considered a war period, but apart from the two of us, has anyone else heard that the teacher named Jiraiya as the next Hokage?"
As long as Konoha is at war, everything can be kept simple according to the rules, and the current Hokage will appoint a suitable candidate to be the next Hokage.
Just like when the Second Hokage appointed Sarutobi Hiruzen to be the Third Hokage.
But at that time, in addition to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, there were also Uchiha Kagami and Akimichi Kaifeng.
"this......"
Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, who was transferred to the dormitory, looked at each other. The former frowned and shouted: "What do you mean, are our two consultants not enough to determine this matter?"
"certainly."
Orochimaru responded unceremoniously.
"you!"
After turning to bed, Koharu raised his finger angrily and pointed at Orochimaru: "Are you going to disobey your teacher's wishes?"
"So I'm confirming whether what you said is what the teacher meant."
"Also, even if the teacher said it, how can you prove that it was said recently? If it was before the invasion of Aramaki, it was not during the war, and it is invalid."
Orochimaru is not Jiraiya, he is very knowledgeable about the rules of Konoha Village.
"Then whether I can become the Fourth Hokage requires the vote of the entire village of Jonin and the approval of the daimyo."
"Although the two are advisors to the Administration Department, their ranks are calculated based on one Jonin vote."
After saying that, Orochimaru looked around at the Konoha ninjas again.
"Now that you have two votes against, the Jonin who just agreed, could you please raise your hand again and show them?"
Everyone below looked at each other.
next moment.
After going to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan were shocked to see hands raised one after another in the crowd in front of them.
"You, you guys!"
The two were furious but helpless.
Then I heard Orochimaru from above say with a smile: "Thank you everyone, then I will be the acting Hokage until I get the approval of the daimyo."
The words just fell.
His eyes once again turned to Mito Monobu and Koharu who were breathing heavily.
"Now, in the name of Acting Hokage, I am dismissing you two from their positions as advisors to the Administration Department..."
Jiraiya on the side didn't speak the whole time.
Because he himself did not want to be Hokage, and he also felt that Orochimaru was more suitable than him.
at the same time.
Just when Konoha Village was facing severe turmoil both externally and internally.
In fact, each place in the ninja world has its own situation changes.
Over there in the Kingdom of Wind.
The Iwagakure army led by the Third Tsuchikage Onoki.
Faced with the army of puppets and the incredible number of explosion traps in Sand Hidden Village, we can only retreat from this vast golden desert in frustration.
After all, it would be foolish to exchange a ninja's life and chakra for those countless mines.
So they must first figure out where Sunagakure Village got so many explosives.
As for those flying puppets, they have already been figured out.
After all, An Lushan stayed in Loulan for six years, which was long enough for Yan Yin to find out that these puppets came from Loulan.
But what puzzled Onoki was.
Why hasn't there been any news from Ai and Hanzo for so long?
If you think about it carefully, contact between the two parties has been broken for a long time.
This forced Onoki to send several teams of ninjas to investigate the situation...
But little did he know that Ai, Hanzo and the others had already followed the Sandaime Raikage back to the Hidden Rain Village.
"I'll give you three days to repair. After three days, you will raid Iwagakure Village. During this period, if any ninjas from Iwagakure Village come over, stabilize them first and then kill them!"
The Sandaime Raikage stood in the position that usually belonged to Hanzo.
He looked down at Hanzo, Ai, Yahiko, and the representatives of Kusagakure and Takigakure villages giving orders.
"yes!"
Hanzo lowered his head to hide his unwilling eyes, and then quickly left his room with everyone else. Only Ai continued to stay where he was.
After everyone left, Ai hurriedly shouted: "Father, you..."
"Shut up first!"
The Sandaime Raikage sat down and took a few sips of the wine served by the Amegakure ninja on the coffee table.
But he immediately showed a disgusted expression: "Why didn't you realize before that this sake tastes so bad?"
Then he put the bottle back and greeted his son.
"Come closer!"
After hearing this, young Ai was overjoyed and hurried forward, only to see his father take out a small creature that looked like a snail from his arms.
"Come on, calm down and after reading this, you will understand everything!"
The Sandaime Raikage whispered to his son while sensing his surroundings with his knowledge-color haki.
"Um?"
Ai looked confused, but nodded anyway.
And when he saw the clear light and shadow projected from the little snail's eyes, his eyes suddenly widened.
What is this!
The next image played in the video and the volume were lowered to the point where only they could hear it.
All of them made his penis tremble violently.
【Kacha——】
The Sandaime Raikage smiled slightly, as if he heard the sound of his son's worldview shattering.
Hahahahaha!
The Sandaime Raikage looked at his son's increasingly shocked expression, but he felt happy in his heart.
This stupid son.
Why don't you have any concentration and Chengfu? It's far less calm than I was at that time!
the other side.
In the Snow Country, the northernmost part of the ninja world.
As its name suggests, this country has a cold climate, with snow all year round and thick dark clouds that rarely dissipate.
at this time.
A white-gold spaceship more than two hundred meters long is floating in the sky above the country's capital.
The spaceship was brightly lit in the middle of the night, like a small sun, illuminating the city below as if it were daytime.
[Boom, boom, boom...]
The current king, Fenghua Hayayuki, stood on the highest floor of the palace tower, looking worriedly at the shocking battle outside the city.
"My feet hurt!
"
Outside the city, a powerful woman's scream appeared in the ice and snow.
In the blink of an eye.
With a loud "boom", fierce air waves spread in all directions, shaking up large tracts of ice and snow, and even the frozen soil comparable to gold and iron cracked.
However.
Tsunade in mid-air was shocked to see her kick with all her strength.
She was unexpectedly held tightly by the woman with blue hair and blue eyes in front of her, who even she thought was incredibly beautiful, with only a slender hand that suddenly turned black.
And the violent energy that spilled out only blew up the opponent's blue hair.
"I told you, it's useless~"
Esdeath chuckled lightly: "As a woman, your strength is not bad, but it is only good. You can't even arouse my desire to fight."
"And I see hesitation and fear in your eyes, but you don't seem to be afraid of me..."
"snort!"
Tsunade's face was cold, and she immediately tried to break free, and Esdeath also cooperated and let go.
The former tumbled in the air and then landed firmly, biting blood from his thumb without hesitation, and then pressed it hard on the cold snow.
"Psychic art!"
The previous fight had made her realize that her 'strange power' was no match for Esdeath.
It's incredible, but I have to admit it.
【boom!】
Billowing white smoke poured out, and a huge white live dragon with blue lines on its body appeared under Tsunade.
This made Esdeath on the opposite side, as well as Guren, Akadou, Black Boy and others who were standing behind her silently watching the battle, suddenly show expressions of interest.
And Hei Tong's hand was holding a little girl's arm.
It was Tsunade's follower, Shizune.
"Tsunade-sama, I just want to find you, you..."
As soon as the live dragon appeared, he spoke first with a gentle voice.
But she immediately noticed Esdeath and the others in front of them, as well as the spaceship with the words "Hoof of the Sky Soaring Dragon" printed in the sky, which made her stop talking.
"Tsunade-sama, are these people from the World Government?"
"Yes, the woman who claimed to be Esdeath did indeed mention some kind of world government!" Tsunade was stunned, nodded and replied.
"But she actually wants the Kingdom of Snow to surrender. How can this be done? King Fenghua is a good person who helped me pay back the money. I must help him!"
"Um......"
After hearing this, Huobi was speechless for a long time, and then weakly suggested: "Why don't you, Tsunade-sama, sit down and talk with the other party? They should not be bad people..."
"ha?"
Tsunade lowered her head in surprise: "They just killed a lot of snow ninjas, and Shizune was also in their hands!"
All right.
She mainly wants to save her little Shizune.
"That's it, then... please tell them what to do. In short, try not to fight..."
After saying that, the living creature looked up at Esdeath.
"Everyone from the World Government, Tsunade-sama and Shizune-sama are not a threat to you. Can you please refrain from harming them?"
Tsunade was stunned.
What is the situation with this living beast? No matter who she faced before, he would help her fight without hesitation!
But now she seems to be very afraid of that world government?
How is this possible? After all, the living dragon is one of the immortals in the three holy places!
"Okay, it just so happens that I also need a guide in this world~"
Esdeath showed a beautiful smile. She was not prepared to stay in the Snow Kingdom, but the matters in the Snow Kingdom had to be settled.
"But before that, you and she both have to fight me with all your strength!"
