Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

"I also heard about what happened to Kakashi. He really has endured too much."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and sighed as well.

"It's a good idea to let him immerse himself in the mission for the time being and forget about the grief. I can promise you that when you think he's ready, I can let him join the Anbu."

"Thank you, Lord Hokage." Namikaze Minato immediately bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

"That's not necessary, but I have another question for you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took another puff of his cigarette, looked at the young face of Namikaze Minato, then asked with a smile.

"Your teacher has been avoiding becoming Hokage. I'm curious if you will be the same as your teacher?"

"Hokage-sama, I only have one answer to this question."

When Minato Namikaze heard this question, he took a deep breath and then spoke very seriously.

"I have always had a dream of becoming a Hokage, not only me, but also Kushina. For the sake of both of our dreams, I will work hard no matter what!"

"good, very good."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter, and he spoke slowly with a hint of meaning.

"I support you, Minato, such a dream..."

"I will always support you."

……

"What kind of monster is that!"

In the Land of Rain, heavy rain continued to pour down from the sky. In this thick rain curtain, Danzo and Aburame Ryoma quickly rushed towards Konoha.

Danzo still can't forget what happened before. His mind is still echoing with the huge monster and the person who controlled the monster to slaughter them.

He now feels a little regretful. He regrets why he wanted to cooperate with Hanzo.

Although cooperating with Hanzo can gain the assistance and recognition of the Hidden Rain Village, it can also win over another powerful ally for Konoha.

He can also win over a powerful ally who is not in Konoha, giving himself more chances to become Hokage.

But now, all of this has been ruined!

In order to assist Hanzo in eliminating dissidents, he did not hesitate to mobilize all the elite troops of the Root.

He knew very well that in order to convince someone like Hanzo, he had to demonstrate strong enough strength.

However, he never dreamed that so many elite Root members would be slaughtered by one person, and only he and Aburame Maron escaped!

If he lost the Root, he would lose his voice in Konoha, which would mean that he would fall from grace. This kind of thing really made him lose all hope.

He really only had one thought now. He hoped that the bastard Hanzo would just die there. Only in this way could he feel at ease.

But he knew that this was unlikely, as Hanzo could run faster than him. Especially since the Rain Country was Hanzo's home ground, this guy might have already returned to a safe place, right?

"Now, what should I do..."

Although Danzo was a little bit devastated, he was a man who had seen a lot of storms after all, and he knew that he had to remain calm at this time.

Only by calming down can he find a way out, only by doing so can he find a way to preserve his voice in Konoha, and only by doing so can he make a comeback!

"Now that the roots have been destroyed, new blood must flow in if it is to develop again."

While Danzo was running towards the Fire Country like a lost dog, he began to think about his future in his heart.

Now he no longer needs to consider the position of Hokage, at least until he rebuilds the Root.

Whenever he thought of this, he felt extremely painful inside. Hokage was his eternal obsession, and what he had been pursuing all his life.

However, the current situation forced him to extinguish his dream with his own hands.

"But it's not easy to collect and cultivate fresh blood. I have to find a more suitable place with authority no less than the Root."

Danzo's mind was still quite sharp, and after temporarily putting aside his dream of becoming Hokage, his thoughts and ideas instantly became clear.

Konoha actually has a place that is no less powerful than the Root, is suitable for their transition, and can cultivate and screen outstanding talents for the Root.

"That's the ANBU!"

Thinking of this, Danzo's eyes lit up slightly. Although the Root and the Anbu had different divisions of labor, and because of their respective functions, they needed to supervise each other.

But as the head of the Root, if he also takes over the Anbu at the same time, wouldn't all the power of Konoha buried in the darkness belong to him?

But it is not an easy task to get the Anbu. If Sarutobi Hiruzen continues to sit on the throne of Hokage, he will probably never allow himself to do this.

"So, Hiruzen you have to leave the position of Hokage."

Danzo thought coldly in his heart that he and Sarutobi Hiruzen were friends, best friends, there was no doubt about that.

But friends are friends, but once it comes to political stance, their identities will change.

This change will cause them to often quarrel over their respective ideas and goals, but it will not affect their friendship as friends.

Now Danzo is thinking from the perspective of the Root leader who has lost everything, and he will not take personal feelings into consideration.

"It seems that I have to support Orochimaru."

Danzo's eyes turned somewhat vicious, he had thought things through.

“Orochimaru already has a lot of support, and if I support him further, then his success will be inevitable.

But in exchange for my support, you must give something, then I can legitimately make the request to the Anbu!"

Thinking of this, Danzo suddenly started to speed up. He had already thought of a new way out, so he had to complete it all as soon as possible.

As for the dead root members, although it was a pity for him, they died here...

We can only blame them for their lack of skills. There is nothing worth thinking about!

……

slam-la-

Heavy rain poured down from the sky, and Nagato stood there expressionless.

Ninja corpses were lying everywhere around him, and everything looked so cold in the rain.

The fight was over, and except for those who escaped, Xiaonan and him, all the others were left with only corpses.

The power of the Outer Path Demon Statue is really too terrifying, and the power of that chakra dragon is beyond imagination. This may be the power of the Rinnegan!

But all this is irrelevant now. He stood quietly in the rain looking at Yahiko's body, water droplets dripping down his cheeks, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.

Xiaonan stood silently aside, she also looked so lifeless.

They thought they could resolve the issue through negotiation, but what they got was a scam.

Originally Yahiko was full of confidence and hope for this world, but now it seems that everything is so ironic.

Nagato looked at Yahiko's body and recalled what he said before he died. His heart became even colder.

And now he remembered what the guy who called himself Uchiha Madara said when he found them not long ago, and at this moment he seemed to be deeply touched.

This is a world full of despair, a broken world, a world that needs to be rebuilt.

And he, as the person who has mastered the Rinnegan, is the master of this world and the one who can reshape this ugly world!

"Uchiha Madara is right. This ugly world has no hope. But..."

Nagato muttered to himself, he raised his head and looked at the sky, at this moment he had made up his mind.

"Yahiko, don't worry, I will definitely help you realize your dream, and I will create a peaceful world with my own hands!"

……

Chapter 106 The Fourth Hokage!

Time passes quietly, and in the blink of an eye it is already the end of the year.

The cold wind and white snow have quietly appeared in Konoha, but the whole Konoha seems particularly enthusiastic at this time.

Because there is less than a week left until the election of the Fourth Hokage.

In a courtyard in a relatively remote part of the village, Orochimaru, dressed in a white kimono, sat on a wooden corridor, watching the snowflakes falling quietly.

There was another light snow in the sky. Prismatic snowflakes fell into my hands and quickly merged into water droplets, unable to survive for even a moment.

He was wearing thin clothes, and his condition did not change at all because of the change in weather. Moreover, the cold weather could not hide his burning heart.

The election is less than a week away, and it would be impossible for him not to be nervous.

Perhaps more than half a year ago, he would not have felt anything, because the position of Hokage was already within his reach.

Even at that time, he only regarded Hokage as a special feeling and thought.

But since he came into contact with the Uchiha clan and communicated with them time and time again, he now has to admit it.

He was angered by his teacher's thoughts and actions, and he also had more ideas and ambitions for the position of Hokage!

He has kept a low profile during this time, and at the same time he has restrained his subordinates who have supported him and fought with him.

What Uchiha Zong said makes sense. What they have to do now is not to make mistakes. Only by not making mistakes can they avoid being caught in a weak spot and being crushed by public opinion.

Moreover, although he is indeed no match in terms of public opinion, it does not mean that he cannot find someone to help him with publicity.

His original plan was actually to help build momentum for Minato Namikaze, and even simply attribute all of the Uchiha clan's achievements to Minato!

And by then, if Minato Namikaze dares to admit it, then many people in the Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Grass will probably speak out.

Especially since there are many people here who support him, such voices will directly defeat Minato Namikaze.

If he dares not admit it, then such publicity will be a stain on him and make people think he is flashy.

When it comes to methods, Orochimaru is not afraid of anyone when he is serious!

But in the end he didn't do so, not because of Jiraiya, but because he knew that doing so might expose him.

"My teacher is not just for show."

Therefore, Orochimaru chose a more pragmatic approach, which was to publicize the truth of everything on the battlefield through other people's mouths, and that was enough.

Although the voice is relatively low, and he is not promoting himself, but the focus is still on the Uchiha clan, this will also divide the reputation that Minato Namikaze gained through Jiraiya!

While he was doing all this, he did not forget to contact people from other families in order to gather his own supporters.

The purpose of the proposal Uchiha Zong gave him was very clear, and Orochimaru was also seriously implementing it.

But unfortunately, many families did not make a complete statement, but instead acted ambiguous.

This did not make Orochimaru very happy, even though he knew that these people were also trying to protect themselves and would never easily tie their family to a chariot.

But at this time he had no courage at all, and only held the idea of ​​"I don't care who the Hokage is, I will support whoever is the Hokage", which made Orochimaru look down on him a little.

Fortunately, he did not gain nothing.

At least many small families, especially those that were beginning to decline due to war and resource allocation within the village, made their attitudes clear.

Although their power was small and their say was not enough, he suddenly remembered what Uchiha Zong once said to him as a joke.

"Concentrated will can break through stone."

This sentence is really applicable now!

"Besides, there is an even bigger gain."

Speaking of which, Orochimaru felt that this gain was a little different, that is, Danzo found him and made it clear that he would support him to become Hokage!

Orochimaru was well aware of Danzo's pursuit and desire for the position of Hokage.

Now this guy suddenly found himself and said such words, even Orochimaru was stunned.

Although he still maintained that domineering look, Orochimaru knew that he was a man who would do anything to become Hokage.

Something interesting must have happened for him to compromise.

As expected, when Orochimaru used his own power to figure out why Danzo had made such a 180-degree turn, he was a little amused and helpless.

This guy led all the elite troops of the Root to go out some time ago, and it seems that they are heading to the Rain Country.

However, when he came back, only he and Aburame Ryoma were left!

This almost means that his roots were completely wiped out in this operation, so he changed his attitude and supported himself.

But it has come to this, and this guy has put forward conditions. He actually wants the entire Anbu.

"It's really interesting, but what happened in the Rain Country that could kill all those crazy people in the Root?"
