Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

Not to mention the Seventh Hokage Uzumaki Naruto, all the top power circles were his friends and brothers.

It can be said that there are many ties between them, and the most difficult Hyuga clan is his in-laws.

In addition, he has strong abilities, so his coming to power can be said to be the popular choice, and he also fulfilled his long-cherished dream.

Similarly, Orochimaru now has both prestige and connections.

Look, as soon as Konoha let out a little news, the Nara clan had already sent people to assist Orochimaru, so it can be imagined that he is also considered to be the "popular choice".

Therefore, he really didn't understand what Uchiha Zong meant by this sentence.

"Lord Orochimaru is confused?"

Uchiha Zong could see Orochimaru's confusion, he shook his head and spoke slowly.

"I know that Lord Orochimaru is now the most popular leader in Konoha, but Lord Orochimaru seems to have overlooked one thing, or rather, one person's will."

"Are you talking about my teacher?"

When Orochimaru heard this, his face couldn't help but darken slightly. He stared at Uchiha Zong and said indifferently.

"Zong Jun, can I understand that you are using a very low-level method of sowing discord?"

“There is no high or low method of instigation, but it depends on whether it is effective.”

Uchiha Zong shook his head slightly, and he looked at Orochimaru calmly as he spoke calmly.

"If I really want to stir up trouble, I can definitely do it quietly. There's no need to talk to you openly.

As for what I am going to say today, Lord Orochimaru, if you believe it, then believe it. If you don’t, just pretend that I have never been here.

But there is something I think I need to tell Lord Orochimaru..."

Having said this he paused slightly, and then he continued quietly.

“I have convinced the two main elders of the hawk and dove factions within the Uchiha clan.

Now I just need to get rid of the last person, and I think I can get everything of Uchiha."

Uchiha Zong's words made Orochimaru stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Uchiha Zong with a more serious look.

He originally thought that he had already had an adequate estimate of Uchiha Zong, and sometimes he even asked himself whether he had overestimated this kid.

But now it seems that he has underestimated the Uchiha clan.

"In that case, I'm all ears."

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's fingers tapped the table involuntarily, and then he smiled.

"Lord Orochimaru, strictly speaking we are here to support you. I think you should know better than any of us what the Sandaime Hokage thinks of the Uchiha."

Uchiha Zong nodded slightly, and then he continued to tell the story.

"But, strictly speaking you are not the only one we have to support. After all, there are other people in Konoha that can be supported besides you."

"Who are you talking about, Jiraiya or Tsunade?"

Orochimaru showed a disdainful expression, and then he shook his head lacking interest. It can be seen that he seemed a little disappointed.

"No, neither."

However, what he didn't expect was that Uchiha Zong shook his head slightly, then smiled mysteriously and spoke slowly.

“Although Jiraiya is young and strong, he does not have the heart to be Hokage. I think Lord Orochimaru should understand this better than I do.

As for Tsunade, she is higher in rank than you in terms of status, and is also more suitable to be Hokage than you.

However, the existence of 'hemophobia' and the deaths of her brother and ex-boyfriend may have made her somewhat dissatisfied with Konoha.

So I guess, as long as the Sandaime is still around, she won't be the Hokage, what do you think?"

Uchiha Zong's words made Orochimaru nod slightly. It was indeed true. Both of them had their own problems, and such problems also destined them not to become Hokage.

But if it’s not these two people, then who else can get the Uchiha’s support?

"Danzo?" Suddenly, Orochimaru seemed to have discovered something funny.

"Of course not." Uchiha Zong shook his head: "Lord Orochimaru, it's better not to make such a joke."

"Then I can't understand what Zongjun means."

Orochimaru sighed slightly, then he asked with a smile.

"As it stands now, I really don't know if there is anyone more suitable than me. Does Zong-kun intend to let Uchiha run for Hokage?"

"I'm not that stupid. Uchiha has no chance and will never have any chance, so I don't have such thoughts."

Uchiha Zong smiled lightly, he also stretched out his hand, and slowly tapped the table with one finger.

“I said that Lord Orochimaru ignored the will of a person, the will of a very important person.

Think about it carefully, how did the power pass from the Second Hokage to the Third Hokage?

The Sandaime Hokage is about to abdicate now. If I'm not mistaken, it's probably because the losses in the Third War were too great, and he was forced to "resign".

But now the war has changed. You led Konoha to defeat the Whirlpool Kingdom, and Konoha only has two opponents left.

The two opponents disliked each other and had considerable conflicts between them. Although Konoha was still at a disadvantage, it still had a chance of winning overall.

In this situation, do you think your teacher would be willing to retreat into the background? "

Uchiha Zong's words made Orochimaru's face darken. He didn't say anything but looked at Uchiha Zong quietly, and his heart began to analyze everything quickly.

When Uchiha Zong saw this, he knew that Orochimaru had indeed begun to think seriously about all of this, and once he began to think seriously about this matter, many things would change.

"Then..." After a long while, Orochimaru said with a sullen face: "Who else among you Uchiha can support?"

"There are very few people who do not discriminate against Uchiha, hope to change all this, and belong to the third generation interest group, but there are some."

Uchiha Zong's smile faded slightly. He looked at Orochimaru calmly and asked in a low voice.

"Let me ask you a question. Whose reputation is rapidly increasing on the western battlefield?"

……

Chapter 84 The Fourth Hokage

Whose popularity is growing rapidly?

The significance of this question is very obvious. Whoever's reputation is constantly rising is the person that the Uchiha clan may support.

To be honest, Orochimaru had never thought about it before, or he simply didn't bother to consider who might be more suitable for the position of Hokage than himself.

But now, Uchiha Zong has put this issue directly on the table, so he must think about it seriously.

But as he thought, a name clearly emerged in his mind - Minato Namikaze.

If it were before, Orochimaru would just smile indifferently when he thought of this name.

Because in his opinion, Minato Namikaze had absolutely no qualifications to compete with him.

But now, even though he guessed that the Uchiha clan might be setting him up, he really had to think about it seriously.

"Namikaze Minato is Jiraiya's disciple, so he is destined to be one of us..."

Orochimaru grasped the key in an instant. No matter where you are, the prerequisite for "queuing up" is to have your own people.

Since he is one of us, the most important prerequisite has been met. In addition, he thought of one more thing.

Minato Namikaze's girlfriend, Uzumaki Kushina, is Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!

This also helped the kid Minato Namikaze accumulate good political capital, making his future immeasurable.

And as he continued to think deeply, his eyes became colder.

"According to the Uchiha clan, if the war goes smoothly and Konoha has a better chance of winning, then..."

Then, my teacher might not be willing to leave the position of Hokage!

Although Orochimaru didn't care what Hokage meant, he knew it was the symbol of Konoha's highest authority and the symbol of control over the number one ninja village in the ninja world.

But he had already made his statement, and as a Hokage he couldn't go back on his word, but he was also unwilling to give up his power.

"Then, he must choose a young person who has no foundation and can stand in the front desk easily for him to control!"

In an instant, Orochimaru had sorted out all the problems, and as he figured it all out, his eyes became somewhat dangerous.

He doesn't care about the Hokage, but he is a proud man!

There are some things that he can choose not to have, but you cannot not give them to him. You should know that "not wanting" and "not giving" have two completely different meanings.

His eyes flickered slightly, and Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Zong again. For a moment, he was also full of thoughts.

After a while, he spoke quietly, "Namikaze Minato is indeed a good choice, and he does have a good chance, but can you afford the risk?"

"The risk that Orochimaru-sama mentioned is waiting for him to grow up, or are you worried that he will become a puppet completely?"

Uchiha Zong said with a smile, but he nodded in his heart, this is worthy of Orochimaru, he figured it out so quickly.

"I said before that the Hokage we support is a Hokage who is different from the Sandaime and is willing to make changes.

Although Minato Namikaze has nothing, I think Lord Orochimaru should have heard of a saying.

That's called 'it's easier to help someone in need than to add icing on the cake', he has nothing and if we help him now, then..."

“But you came.”

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Zong quietly, and suddenly he laughed, licked his tongue faintly, and said calmly.

"If I remember correctly, Uchiha Fugaku seems to have a good relationship with Namikaze Minato, and his wife also has a close relationship with Uzumaki Kushina, right?"

"Yes, so I came."

Uchiha Zong nodded calmly. He was not surprised that Orochimaru revealed the truth. Besides, there was nothing to hide.

"If I want to take action against the clan leader, then this will most likely lead to some conflict with this Namikaze Minato.

In addition, Namikaze Minato is still a junior in front of you, which means that I am not sure to what extent he will be influenced by the Third Hokage.

I need a new Hokage who is more stable, more resolute and can bring about change, and Lord Orochimaru is the most sincere person."

Uchiha Zong said calmly and Orochimaru nodded slightly.

Indeed, if he really wanted to bet on both sides, then Uchiha Zong wouldn't have to say so much to him.

And the fact that he told me this so clearly meant, to some extent, that he had already made his choice!

Making a choice means that the Uchiha clan is one of their own, and Orochimaru sees this very clearly.

Uchiha's support is very important to him, especially now that he has figured out his situation!

Although it was very possible that Uchiha Zong was setting a trap for him, but because of his understanding of his teacher, he knew that there was a high probability that this situation would happen!

Thinking of this, his eyes involuntarily looked outside.

In that direction was the Hokage Building, and there was a hint of inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

"Teacher, have you begun to degenerate and become corrupt?"

Orochimaru muttered silently in his mind, and a trace of lament could not help but appear in his heart.

In fact, he had already felt the changes in his teacher since Konoha decided to send those little brats to the battlefield.

But he didn't expect that his teacher would change so quickly, it was really beyond his expectations!

But soon, he withdrew his gaze. He was never a person who would sit and wait for death.

And he clearly felt that his desire for Hokage was beginning to grow stronger.

He didn't care at first, because he knew that the Hokage was his, and what he loved most was doing research. He naturally wouldn't care about things that already belonged to him.

Now he knew that the thing he originally regarded as his private property had changed and no longer belonged to him. This instead aroused his inner ambitions!

"I understand, Zong-kun."

Withdrawing his gaze, Orochimaru looked at the Uchiha clan in front of him and smiled.

"It seems that our challenge is not easy."

"That's right. After all, the Hokage can only belong to one person, but there are many people who desire to be the Hokage."

Uchiha Zong smiled, and then he said meaningfully.

"Just like Danzo, the Sandaime-sama, and those Konoha ninjas who dream of becoming Hokage."

"Danzo?"
