Chapter 515: A New Era
Sasuke thought seriously: "Then how are you going to let me use natural energy?"
A small snake appeared on Orochimaru's shoulder. "As long as my snake bites you and leaves a curse mark, you can absorb the natural energy from the outside world through my curse mark. This process is a bit dangerous. I have done many experiments, and the number of survivors is very small. Most of them died in the first stage. Their bodies could not accommodate the natural energy and collapsed."
Orochimaru licked his tongue and said, "Sasuke-kun, do you want to try?"
Sasuke grasped the important information in his words: "Your curse seal? In other words, this ability is controlled by you?"
Orochimaru said without hesitation: "Of course, if your consciousness disappears, I can use the curse seal to revive in your body. With your ability, I think you are not afraid, right?"
Sasuke sneered: "Provocation? Do you take me for a three-year-old? It seems that you have no interest in the deal. Just wait to die here."
He turned and left without any hesitation.
The side effects of the Mangekyō Sharingan are serious, but it's not that he has no way to treat it.
Kakashi had said that Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan was in his and Ino's hands. If it came to the last resort, Sasuke would definitely replace his eyes. There was no need for him to agree to Orochimaru's condition, which was full of hidden dangers. Knowing that Orochimaru would set up a back-up plan in the curse seal, he was still foolish enough to take the bait? Is he sick?
"Sasuke-kun, if you change your mind, you can come to me anytime." Orochimaru's voice came into his ears as he closed the door. Sasuke did not respond and left the prison calmly.
A week after the attack of the Sky Ninja and Pain, Orochimaru also ran away. Jiraiya took all the blame for failing to guard Orochimaru and Konan properly. He felt he had no face to be Hokage anymore, so he resolutely submitted his resignation to the Daimyo, officially resigning from the positions of Fifth Hokage and leader of the Ninja Village Alliance.
The next question is who will be the Hokage.
According to the normal order of succession, it should be Kakashi. This is unanimously recognized by both the previous Third Hokage and the Fifth Hokage who just stepped down.
The problem is that the Fourth Hokage has officially appeared, and Kakashi is still his disciple. From a moral and logical point of view, from all aspects and angles, including Kakashi's own wishes, he is not suitable to succeed the Sixth Hokage.
Kakashi's attitude was very clear. If there was really no one in the village to be Hokage, then he could take over and do the job for a few days. The problem now was that there were many candidates, so there was no need to force him to do it.
Tsunade’s qualifications are enough to succeed the Sixth Hokage, not to mention the “returning” Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
The Fourth Hokage had done nothing wrong, had not been dismissed, and had not resigned. Now that he was back, he should be the Hokage.
Compared to Kakashi, who has a dark past, the sunny Minato Namikaze is obviously more suitable for today's Konoha Village.
The Konoha high-level officials and many ninja families held emergency consultations, and after Tsunade made it clear that she had no interest in the position of Hokage, they unanimously agreed that Namikaze Minato would continue to be Hokage.
The routine of Konoha's third generation resigning and being replaced by the fourth generation, the fourth generation died and was replaced by the third generation, the third generation died and was replaced by the fifth generation, the fifth generation resigned and was replaced by the fourth generation surprised the other four major ninja villages. Can it be played like this?
No matter what outsiders thought, Konoha had made the decision. After obtaining permission from the new daimyo Enichikyuu, Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage, resigned. After that, Namikaze Minato, wearing the Hokage hat and the divine robe, succeeded to the throne as the new Hokage in the presence of many villagers.
After all, there is no overnight hatred between father and son.
Naruto could even forgive Nagato and Obito in the original time and space, so it is not a big problem for him to forgive his biological father now.
With Iruka's active persuasion, the father and son resolved their grievances.
The succession ceremony of Minato Namikaze was very lively, and the other four major ninja villages also recognized him as the new leader. After all, the name of Golden Flash was basically brushed out from the Iwagakure ninjas and Kumogakure ninjas. The Third Tsuchikage could pretend to be confused and pretend not to know him, but the Fourth Raikage could not do this.
Namikaze Minato returned to the position of Hokage, but did not make any major changes to the village's policies and positions.
Kakashi is still the leader of his jonin squad and the first candidate for the Sixth Hokage. Tsunade, Utatane Koharu, and Mito Kado En continue to serve as advisors, and Shikaku is still the chief of staff.
The situation in the other classes did not change much.
The only change is probably Naruto.
Even though Naruto did not get the credit for defeating Pain, he still gained the "heartfelt" recognition of the entire village because he now has a father who is the village chief.
The title that once belonged to Konohamaru now fell to Naruto, and he became "Master Naruto".
He got 20% off on meals, no need to queue when buying things, and was always successful in the lottery. Everyone greeted him with a smile, and the bad words he heard before were no longer heard.
At the gate of Konoha Village.
Jiraiya put on his own "Oil"-shaped forehead protector, red outer coat and high-heeled wooden clogs.
Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze have exchanged roles. Now that Minato has come to the front, Jiraiya, the retired fifth generation, will go into the dark. He will continue to investigate the intelligence of the Akatsuki and the Kara organizations. He wants to find his "illegitimate son" even more.
"Hahahahahahaha - I'm finally free! I'm going to collect materials!" Jiraiya was so excited that he danced with joy, which made Tsunade, who came to see him off, very upset.
"Teacher, don't be impulsive! He is just like that, and this is not the first day you have known him."
"Yes, yes, Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama must be under too much pressure and has some hallucinations. It will be gone in a few days."
Ino and Shizune tried to persuade her.
Did Tsunade not know Jiraiya's character? Of course she knew. Ino and Shizune gave her a way out, and she stepped down on her own.
Tsunade said angrily: "If it weren't for Minato's sake, I would definitely beat this bastard to death!"
When Jiraiya left the village, everyone tacitly left the task of seeing him off to Tsunade.
Ino and Shizune are the two people who are used to ease the atmosphere in this situation.
The two old people were strolling in front, and the two servants were following far behind, holding the pigs.
More than ten miles away from the village, Jiraiya and Tsunade had a drink at a roadside tavern and the two old men said goodbye formally.
"Okay, you guys go back and help Minato. Wandering around is my destiny. The Hokage is simply not suitable for an old man like me!" Jiraiya faced the sunset with his back to Tsunade. He waved his hand casually, and then no longer lingered, and strode forward.
Less than a hundred meters away, he started running like crazy: "Beautiful ladies, this immortal is here to play with you!"
