Volume 1 Chapter 275: Something is wrong with Orochimaru
If Hatake Sakumo continues to make achievements and build up his reputation, with the support of the daimyo, he may not be unable to become the Fourth Hokage.
But Danzo wanted to become Hokage, so he objected.
The Third Hokage didn't want to retire so early, nor did he want to hand over power, so he temporarily cooperated with Danzo.
Anyway, his starting point is good. If Hatake Sakumo has any resentment, he can just go towards Danzo.
It is Danzo who is against you, not me, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Orochimaru, can I trust you?"
"I'll be there."
Orochimaru, who was working with Danzo, did not refuse.
Orochimaru during this period probably still had some ideas about the position of Hokage.
Plus, he had been working with Danzo, so since Danzo had chosen him, he might as well step forward.
Orochimaru agreed, and the Third Hokage continued:
"I will let Jiraiya and Tsunade assist..."
"I will stay in the village, let Jiraiya go."
Tsunade stood up and expressed her attitude without waiting for the Third Hokage to finish his words.
She will not leave the village.
In fact, Tsunade had no intention of refusing, but as soon as the Third Hokage opened his mouth, Chitsuki pinched her waist.
Tsunade then stood up and objected.
You little bastard, I'll teach you a lesson later. Don't you know that you can't touch a woman's waist?
You pinched so hard! !
Tsunade did not forget to glare at Chiyue.
Qianyue responded with an innocent look.
"Then Jiraiya, you select some other suitable people to form a jonin team.
I will ask Nara Shikaku to help you."
Nara Shikashin is old and has already pushed his son out.
In order to respond to the loyalty of his old subordinates, the Third Hokage naturally had to send Nara Shikaku out to gain experience and gild himself.
"good."
Orochimaru glanced at Nara Shikaku who was standing aside like a wooden stake, and did not refuse.
He really needed someone to help him deal with some troubles.
"The sea is the main battlefield of the Kirigakure Ninja, so I hope the village will form an elite force that is small in number but strong enough to be stationed at the border."
"This force will be composed of some people selected from each family. I hope everyone can cooperate."
Before the war actually comes, what Konoha needs is to be prepared for it.
At the same time, a group of people were dispatched to the border to guard against sudden enemy attacks.
This team needs to be composed of elite forces and will go to the border under the leadership of Orochimaru.
In response to the Third Hokage's request, the ninjas representing each family also expressed their full support.
Leaving the Hokage office building, Nawaki asked curiously:
"Chizuki, Minato, do you think we can go to the front lines?"
"Who knows? It depends on the choice of Hokage-sama and Orochimaru-senpai."
Minato said he didn't know.
Even though Jiraiya and Orochimaru are their teachers respectively, no one can know the outcome of such a thing before being chosen.
"Perhaps."
Qianyue had no idea whether the team would be selected and sent directly to the front line.
However, through today's meeting, he discovered a problem, that is, Orochimaru seemed to be trying hard to fight for something.
This is not like Orochimaru's usual style.
You know, although Orochimaru had some ideas about the position of Hokage, he never fought for it.
In the original work, even though he knew that the Third Hokage chose Minato, he didn't say anything, he just became more completely evil.
But now Orochimaru is striving for something...that he didn't care about in the original work, which is very strange.
Could it be that Orochimaru has also decided to try hard and strive for the position of the Fourth Hokage?
Qianyue couldn't help but be amused by her own thoughts.
But people will change, maybe Orochimaru has figured it out.
Although in his eyes, the position of Hokage might not be as interesting as doing research.
"What do you mean by maybe?"
Looking at Qianyue who was walking in front, Shengshu turned around and asked:
"Minato, what do you think Chizuki wants to express?"
Is it what I think?
Minato also felt that Chitose's "maybe" had something to it:
"Maybe they think we might not be selected."
"Why?"
Rope Tree doesn't understand:
"Our team is strong enough, especially Qianyue, who is also good at lightning escape. If he arrives at the front line, he will definitely be able to curb the enemy's battle. Why don't you choose us?"
"Could it be Hokage-sama?"
Nawaki naturally mistakenly thought that the Third Hokage was targeting Chizuki again.
After all, the other party has a criminal record and is a repeat offender.
Should this be explained?
Minato hesitated. He was not Rope Tree and did not have so many naive ideas.
He analyzed a lot of things from Qianyue's confusing words. The key point was not the Third Hokage, but Orochimaru!
"Qi Yue is probably trying to say that Orochimaru-senpai might not choose us."
"????"
The teacher won’t choose us?
Now Sheng Shu was even more confused.
It's understandable that the Third Hokage didn't choose their team because of Chitsuki, but Orochimaru...
He and Qianyue had no hatred, and they had no grudges against each other.
"Why don't you go and ask?"
Minato smirked and encouraged Nawaki to go find Orochimaru.
Sheng Shu looked at him speechlessly. Do you think I'm stupid?
Is it okay to ask about this?
Without talking nonsense with Minato Nawaki, Qianyue came to the second floor of the hot pot restaurant alone, made some hot tea and waited.
After a long time, the door of the private room was pushed open, Tsunade walked in, and sat on the chair opposite Qianyue.
"Are you afraid that if I go to the border, some people in the village will start to become restless?"
Tsunade originally wanted to assist Orochimaru, but after being reminded by Chitsuki, she chose to give up.
Then he pushed Jiraiya up and held him against the ground.
“It’s not that some people are restless, but that some people must be restless.”
If it was just a guess at first, now I am 100% sure.
As long as Tsunade leaves, some people will not behave themselves.
Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En are fine, but what we are worried about is that Danzo will take the opportunity to cause trouble.
If nothing unexpected happens, he must be doing some shady research with Orochimaru.
For the sake of his blind eyes and his almost disabled arms, Chitose had reason to believe that Danzo would do this.
Hashirama Senju's cells are his hope for recovery.
It must be those old guys.
Tsunade frowned unhappily:
"I will pay attention to it. They won't take advantage of the opportunity to move things that they shouldn't take. I will carefully review anything that leaves the logistics department."
It was fine in the past, Tsunade didn’t bother to care.
But now she has taken the position of Minister of Logistics, and there are still people who do this. I'm sorry, I won't give you any chance.
"Where are the two boys?"
Tsunade looked around and sensed around, not finding any chakra from Nawaki and Minato, so she looked up.
Qianyue shrugged:
"They are discussing whether the team will be selected and go to the front line."
“Yo.”
Having been together for so long, Tsunade is considered one of the people who knows Chitsuki better. She guessed something from Chitsuki's tone and couldn't help but teasing:
"You think Orochimaru won't choose you?"
"Unless the war is intense, it is unlikely."
Anyway, it was just a guess, and she wasn't saying anything bad about Orochimaru, so Chitsuki didn't hide it:
"Today's Orochimaru made me think about some things."
"What's wrong with Orochimaru?"
Tsunade didn't notice these. In her eyes, Orochimaru was still the same Orochimaru.
But the smell that she didn't like was getting stronger and stronger.
Something was wrong, only Orochimaru knew it, maybe Danzo knew something.
Just as Qianyue guessed, Orochimaru selected a number of people from various families, some of whom were elites among the civilian ninjas.
But the Qianyue team was not among the options.
