Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

Orochimaru was also really curious about this matter, but since Danzo didn't want to say it, he was too lazy to ask. He even turned around and told Uchiha Zong about this matter!

After all, Danzo is competing with the Uchiha clan. Although he feels that he will not answer this question as long as there is nothing wrong with his brain, this matter still needs to be communicated in advance.

"Promise him, why not promise him?"

After learning about this, Uchiha Zong seemed extremely calm, as if he was not surprised at all.

“He is an elder after all. Although his influence and voice have been greatly reduced due to the loss of his roots, his identity is still somewhat useful.

As for what's left after it's used up, isn't it up to us to decide?"

Uchiha Zong's attitude is exactly the same as Orochimaru's. Orochimaru actually doesn't take Danzo seriously at all.

In his eyes, this guy is just a clown. If he could not provide him with enough materials and equipment, so that he could do his research with peace of mind.

Otherwise, Orochimaru would probably not be willing to have too much contact with someone like Danzo.

This kind of person is arrogant and self-righteous. I'm afraid that when the time comes, he won't even know how he died.

"We have prepared everything that needs to be prepared. Now it depends on how you make the decision, Sarutobi-sensei."

Orochimaru looked up and saw the snowflakes falling from the sky. He smiled, then turned and walked into the room.

Originally, for him, becoming Hokage was just a small idea.

So what if he didn't become Hokage? This was just the shattering of his dream of being a Konoha ninja.

Because his goal has not changed, what he desires more is to study the true meaning of ninjutsu.

At that time, he no longer limited himself to the identity of "Konoha Ninja".

However, his teacher's approach gave him different ambitions, and he also figured out one thing.

Becoming Hokage is not just about getting back what belongs to him, but becoming Hokage will also give him more resources, making it easier for him to do research.

"Sarutobi-sensei, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be able to see the path I should take..."

……

“The weather is really getting colder.”

Uchiha Zong walked alone on the street in silence, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky.

He knew that this eventful and complicated year was probably about to pass.

And the most important thing is that in a few days a new Hokage will be born and many things will be settled.

He silently tightened his clothes and continued walking forward, but many other things kept emerging in his mind.

Inevitably, the selection of the Fourth Hokage still made him feel a little nervous.

Even though he had made so many preparations to ensure that Orochimaru did not make any mistakes.

However, he was still deeply impressed by Sarutobi Hiruzen's stubborn behavior in the original work.

But this time, if Sarutobi Hiruzen insists on doing his own thing, the situation will probably be very bad!

He has already integrated the Uchiha clan, and Orochimaru is also intentionally guiding and gathering his subordinates, while also winning over so many families.

The most important thing is that this guy Danzo has become close to Orochimaru.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to talk nonsense at the meeting with the Daimyo, the Uchiha clan could have asked Orochimaru to convey Danzo what Sarutobi Hiruzen said at the meeting.

By that time, the one who would be disgraced would be the Third Hokage.

"Besides, I've grown quite well in this period of time. If we really start fighting, maybe I can even test my own condition."

After Uchiha Zong was injected with Hashirama Senju's cells, his body fever lasted for a whole month.

Although this kind of fever is not a fever and does not affect his fighting ability, this physical condition has always made him pay close attention.

But this time he found that all he got was good news!

His chakra continued to grow, and what he discovered during the first injection was not a coincidence, but a real thing.

Although the amount of growth was not particularly large, after all, the amount he injected was really too small, but this also made him very pleased.

In addition to the growth of chakra, Uchiha Zong also found that his Mangekyō seemed to have recovered a lot.

The use of a kaleidoscope will cause the loss of pupil power, there is no way to avoid it, and the worst thing is that such loss cannot be made up, which is also the key factor leading to blindness.

And now, Uchiha Zong discovered that his pupil power had actually recovered, and with it even his vision had recovered!

Although I knew that this result would happen, I learned it from others and it did not actually happen to me.

Now it has been realized in his life, which finally made him feel relieved.

After all, he has never dared to use his kaleidoscope wantonly to enhance his eyesight, because his pupil power has been limited.

However, he still felt somewhat regretful, because he found that after he used the pupil technique, his pupil power recovered incredibly slowly.

If he didn't have strong control over himself and didn't observe carefully, he wouldn't even feel that his pupil power was recovering.

This made him realize that this might be related to the fact that the dose he injected was too small, but anyway it was good news.

Of course, he also felt a little helpless because he was not sure whether his way of using it was suitable for Shisui.

Moreover, with such a small dose, he was not sure how much pupil power could be restored at one time.

If the degree of eye consumption reaches that of Uchiha Itachi who was dying in the original work, or even Uchiha Sasuke who was already blind, then what is the recovery efficiency?

"The experiment must be accelerated, but unfortunately Xiangcai is still studying and training, and I only have so many materials..."

Thinking of this, Uchiha Zong's eyes couldn't help but become a little depressed.

Insufficient materials and inadequate personnel capabilities are all very fatal. At the same time, he also realized that maybe he had too few people under his command?

There is absolutely no problem with Uzumaki Kasai's potential, but it will take some time to transform it into ability, and since she is alone, the workload may be a bit too much.

After thinking it over, he felt that he really should find someone else to help him.

But he soon shook his head, because he knew that all this had a prerequisite, a prerequisite that would not take long to clear the obstacles.

"Let's start quickly."

Uchiha Zong once again raised his head and looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and this time his eyes also looked in the direction of the Hokage Building.

"I can't wait..."

……

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood quietly by the windowsill, his eyes fixed on the snowflakes falling outside the window. At this moment he was not in a good mood.

While waiting for the Hokage election to come, he has done a lot of work, but he obviously found that the situation is not as easy to handle as he imagined.

It was as if there was an invisible force pushing everything forward, making it impossible for him to do what he wanted to do.

In terms of public opinion, he has been constantly increasing his efforts to promote Minato Namikaze, and there is indeed an effect, but it is not as good as he imagined.

In particular, he noticed that someone was deliberately emphasizing the achievements of the Uchiha clan.

In contrast, those who returned from the battlefields of the Grass Kingdom and the Whirlpool Kingdom obviously felt uncomfortable with the current public opinion.

Although Minato Namikaze did defeat the main force of the Hidden Cloud Village, did the Hidden Cloud Village really launch a large-scale attack?

And although the mission in the Land of Grass was carried out by Minato Namikaze, the plan seemed to be made by Uchiha Mune, right?

In addition to this, the commander-in-chief of the Iwagakure Village, Huang Tu, was also captured by the Uchiha clan, right?

Adding to that the Uchiha clan's achievements in the Land of Whirlpools, why do Minato Namikaze's achievements become so great now?

"Someone is doing something in secret, is it Orochimaru, or those Uchiha people?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered to himself. He was also a little confused by this matter, because he felt that both Orochimaru and the Uchiha people could have done this!

Because Orochimaru might have noticed something. After all, he knew very well how perceptive Orochimaru was.

If this is the case, it seems to explain why Jiraiya chose to leave after this guy met him.

But if it was Uchiha, then this would make sense.

The Uchiha clan's achievements have been stolen, and those Uchiha people will never let it go!

What he is most worried about now is whether Orochimaru has joined forces with Uchiha, although he prefers to believe that it is Orochimaru who is constantly blowing the wind with the help of Uchiha.

After all, Orochimaru was taught by himself, so he should have accepted his ideas, and he was not liked by the Uchiha clan.

But there are two things that made Sarutobi Hiruzen think deeply. The first is that Orochimaru is the old boss of the little brat Uchiha Mune in the Land of Whirlpools.

Secondly, when the Uchiha clan was on a mission in the Land of Grass, they once captured a double-blooded ninja from the Hidden Mist Village. In the end, they did not hand him over to Jiraiya but to Orochimaru!

Sarutobi Hiruzen has received a letter from Kirigakure, and this letter makes him feel extremely uneasy.

Especially through the description in the letter, he can fully confirm that the Uchiha clan definitely has the Mangekyō Sharingan!

"He's so young but has such terrifying power. Moreover, this guy even pushed Uchiha Fugaku down. This kid might be the next Uchiha Madara!"

The moment he finished reading the letter, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally connected everything that happened in Uchiha.

No wonder Uchiha Fugaku acted so "open-minded", no wonder the Uchiha clan stabilized so quickly, it turns out all this was because they regained their Mangekyō!

But at this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen really can't do anything, especially since Danzo actually destroyed all the Root.

Moreover, according to his understanding, he seemed to find that Danzo was particularly close to Orochimaru at this time.

What this means is self-evident. In order to find a new way out for himself, Danzo has chosen Orochimaru.

"What a fool! How could Orochimaru let you get everything you want so easily? He would almost kill you after you've done what you want!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a sense of betrayal, and he became a little dazed as he looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window.

"There is also the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō. If he is really involved with Orochimaru, then Konoha..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't dare to think any further. In such an extreme situation, he knew that he had to make some decisions.

He couldn't learn from his teacher and directly decide who would be the Hokage. After all, there was a war at that time, not like now when the war was over.

And one thing he had to admit, even if he didn't want to, was that he might not have as much influence as his teacher.

If he makes the decision by force, it might lead to some unpleasant chain reactions, which would not be a good thing for Konoha now.

So he has made two decisions, and he must carefully evaluate the impact of these two decisions.

And now he is waiting for someone. Only by meeting this person can he confirm many things, and this person is Minato Namikaze.

In his heart, he still refused to give up. He always believed that only under his leadership could Konoha become strong!

"Hokage-sama, are you looking for me?"

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, Namikaze Minato had already gently pushed open the door, then he walked behind Sarutobi Hiruzen and spoke respectfully.

"Here you go, Minato."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, he turned around and looked at Namikaze Minato very seriously, after a long time he slowly spoke.

"There is still about a week until the Hokage election. Who do you think will be the Hokage this time?"

"Hokage-sama, this question shouldn't be asked to me."

Minato Namikaze lowered his head slightly, and it seemed that he had no intention of answering this question.

In fact, when he came here today, Minato Namikaze had already made some mental preparations.

Ever since the previous conversation with the Third Hokage, Minato Namikaze clearly realized that something was wrong.

There is no doubt that Minato Namikaze is a smart man. Even though he has not received similar education, he has one advantage which is that he is good at thinking.

After his teacher met Orochimaru, he chose to leave Konoha, and on the night of his departure he specifically looked for him and told him the words he had said to himself.

This had already caused him great doubts, and after meeting the Third Hokage, he heard words that sounded similar to those of his teacher but had completely opposite meanings.

He already understood that he might have fallen into a whirlpool.

He had also been very confused, because through these conversations and the various voices that subsequently emanated from Konoha exaggerating his own achievements, he had understood.

"Perhaps, Sandaime-sama wants me to be Hokage?"

After this idea appeared in his mind, he was really excited for a long time. He could never deny how much he longed for the Hokage in his heart.

In other words, 'Hokage' is the greatest desire in the hearts of most of the children of Konoha, and it is also the goal they strive for their entire lives.

Now that this opportunity is in front of him, he is extremely excited and moved by the feeling that he is only one step away from his biggest dream.

However, Minato Namikaze is also a very responsible person. Although he was extremely excited, he did not forget about Kakashi.

It was during the time when he was taking Kakashi on missions to see whether he had met the standards to enter the Anbu that his inner excitement began to slowly cool down.

Now he began to think seriously about one thing, that is, is he really qualified to be the Hokage?
