In the Hokage's office, the four senior Konoha officials discussed what preparations they would make if Orochimaru became Hokage.

Danzo pretended to be involved in the discussion, as if he really had no objection to Orochimaru's succession as Hokage.

He also gave a variety of well-organized and sound opinions.

During this discussion, the sky outside gradually became brighter, and just when it was completely bright.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the Hokage's office.

"Come in." The Third Hokage called.

The door is opened.

Orochimaru walked in.

The three elders Danzo, En, and Koharu frowned because Orochimaru's body smelled of blood that they were very familiar with. However, they were relieved when they thought about the commotion caused by internal and external collusion last night.

It seems that Orochimaru went to deal with the commotion.

"Orochimaru, how are you doing?"

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

The third generation nodded and said: "We just discussed your succession to the fifth generation of Hokage, and the three elders are willing to support you."

Orochimaru didn't seem to be surprised by this.

"Mitomon-senpai, transfer dormitory-senpai, and Shimura-senpai, thank you for your support."

Orochimaru's smile softened.

He is a smart man, and he also knows that after becoming Hokage, he needs to be more superficial.

"Then, let's announce our decision." Sandai decided.

"So fast?" Xiaochun was a little surprised when he went to bed.

"Without further ado."

Sandai picked up the pipe, took another puff, and puffed away the smoke. He said: "Everyone in the village also needs a new inspiration. A new and younger leader can give everyone new expectations."

"But it is the old leader who can calm people's hearts at critical moments. Hiruzen, the situation in the village is still a bit urgent. How about you support it for a while, wait until the urgent moment is over, and then hand over the position of Hokage to Orochimaru. ?" Mito Menyan gave such advice with a sound mind.

"..." Danzo Shimura really wanted to agree with this old friend Mito Monobu, but this kind of words was somewhat inconsistent with his long-standing personality.

But fortunately, it's Orochimaru.

At worst, target Orochimaru in advance.

So he remained silent.

"Yan, under the current situation in the village, a younger and more powerful leader can better show the people in the village that Konoha is determined to boost morale. You should understand, what does the new Hokage represent?"

Mito Kadoyan also fell silent. Of course he understood that the new Hokage represented new opportunities.

A bunch of people will be promoted because of the new Hokage.

As a result, the scattered people in the village will unite.

Many people will be eager for this opportunity. As long as they are eager, they will be better motivated.

However, such eagerness does not give the old interest factions a chance to adjust their interests. Although Orochimaru is also from the Hokage line, the new and the old are different after all.

Hiruzen, didn't he always like playing it safe?

When were you willing to make such a ‘drastic’ claim?

Danzo also looked at Hiruzen in surprise. He now also noticed that Hiruzen seemed to have changed a bit. Was it because of the continuous blows from the Nine-Tails Rebellion?

"Hiruzen..." This time it was Koharu who wanted to persuade him when he went to bed.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his hand to stop him.

"Everything is for Konoha." He said with a solemn expression.

Such a correct label was put on him, and with his identity as Hokage, everyone present was speechless.

"Okay then, let's announce our decision to the village and let Orochimaru succeed the Fifth Hokage."

As for voting?

There is a precedent in the village for taking orders at critical moments.

And now is the critical moment.

Of course, for a more formal appointment, it is necessary to communicate with the daimyo, and then in the presence of an envoy sent by the daimyo, Orochimaru can officially succeed as the fifth generation Hokage.

However, by announcing it first, you can also serve as the 'quasi-Fifth Hokage' first, so that everyone can get familiar with it first.

"I agree." Mito Menyan also nodded in agreement.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kaden, and Koharu all looked at the last Shimura Danzo.

"……I agree."

Danzo Shimura agreed with a dry voice.

He comforted himself in his heart, as long as there was no messenger from the daimyo to formally confirm the meeting, then Orochimaru was not the real fifth generation Hokage.

Before that, just expose what Orochimaru did.

Everything is under control, don't take it too seriously.

"Then issue the notice."

Mito Menyan moved to Koharu, two consultant elders of the administrative department, and signed the notice together with the Hokage.

As for Danzo? He is the person in charge of the root, and his opinions need to be consulted, but as a root that pursues secrecy, his name will not appear in public announcements.

Soon after, this announcement spread to the entire Konoha.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village was in an uproar over this.

After all, the fifth Hokage has been confirmed.

It's Lord Orochimaru!

All Konoha ninjas who were close to Orochimaru cheered up.

The other ninjas were also moved.

As we all know, Lord Orochimaru values ​​talents more than results. If you really perform well, you'll be more likely to be promoted. Although Lord Orochimaru is also more ruthless, this ruthlessness can be said to be fair to a certain extent!

There are really many ninjas who are looking forward to it.

The scattered people's hearts are really united.

Of course, the final result depends on how well Orochimaru, the new Hokage, does?

"Great! I knew the teacher would become the new Hokage!" A girl with a pineapple head waved her fist and shouted excitedly.

She had her hands on her hips, feeling proud.

This also means that she is the disciple of the Fifth Hokage! This is not going sideways in the village!

"Let's eat meatballs to celebrate!" She curled her lips, hummed a happy song, and went to eat her favorite glutinous rice balls!

The chain impact caused by the appointment of the Fifth Hokage began here.

Danzo, Mito Kadeni, moved to Koharu's bed, and left the Hokage's office.

Orochimaru finally stopped restraining himself, and his smile became rare and bright.

"Orochimaru, you seem to be in a good mood." Sandai said.

However, in his opinion, after being promoted, he still succeeded as the leader of the highest military and defense organization of a big country. It was natural for him to be in such a good mood.

But Orochimaru smiled and said: "Teacher, Danzo hides something that surprises me too."

"oh?"

"Wood Release."

Orochimaru didn't hide it either. After all, the wood escape experiment was initially promoted by the Third Generation and Danzo, who called for volunteers to recreate the wood escape power that the first Hokage used to intimidate the world!

But because too many volunteers died in the experiment, the third generation had to stop it.

But despite the call to stop, Danzo was still secretly studying Wood Release with Orochimaru.

The cells of the first Hokage were implanted into babies. In a certain period, there was Experimental Subject No. 60.

At first Orochimaru thought that all sixty experimental subjects had failed, but unexpectedly, one survived, inherited the power of Wood Release, and was hidden by Danzo.
