NOVEL WEB Chapter 10 1 Ghost
The warm and genial sunshine in the afternoon hit an evil young man with black hair and white skin through the window, dispelling his somewhat gloomy aura.
Orochimaru observed everything in the conference room with his golden vertical pupils with great interest.
He was always tired of this kind of meetings where people were fighting for power and arguing with each other, but he didn't expect to see such an interesting show today.
There were twists and turns from Uchiha's proposal of "Madara's stolen eye theory" to the opening of the coffin and autopsy, but after it was verified that there was no Madara's body in the coffin, Uchiha was considered a complete victory.
Konoha is now at its weakest point since the village was founded, and can no longer withstand any turmoil.
Sarutobi Hiruzen could only choose to appease Uchiha.
The proposal to expand the Security Department was passed, the clan relocation was no longer mentioned, and Uchiha even included two more commercial streets in the village reconstruction plan.
This is nothing.
The most important thing is that although Uchiha did not clear away the suspicion of Kyuubi Night, he made the top brass of the Hokage department also bear the suspicion.
Shit is coming.
What should I do if I can’t shake it off or wash it off?
Then open the toilet and let the person who splashed you stink.
"Well done, Minamoto-kun." Orochimaru grinned and looked in the direction of Uchiha.
Uchiha Yuan, who was surrounded by the Uchiha tribesmen in the center, straightened his back like a victorious general and smiled modestly.
It was the youth and vitality that Orochimaru envied, longed for, and was fascinated by.
......
Today, the Hokage system could be said to have suffered a huge defeat in the confrontation with the Uchiha, but as usual, after the Jonin meeting, there is still a small meeting between the top management.
After the cheerful Uchiha and the Jonin who had their own thoughts left, only the third generation, three advisors, Jiraiya and Orochimaru were left in the conference room.
As soon as Uchiha was gone, Danzo immediately became arrogant:
"Sarutobi, what on earth are you doing? Ever since you pushed that coffin away, something has been wrong with you. Could it be that you were controlled by a genjutsu?"
Mito Menyan also frowned,
"Hiruzhan, you are too weak today. The policy of suppressing the Uchiha clan should be consistent."
Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored his old buddy's complaints, twisted out a few strands of tobacco from the small bag in his arms, stuffed it into his pipe and lit it.
Before, he always thought that someone had awakened the kaleidoscope, but now he was most likely to be involved with Madara. Could it be the same?
"You don't understand!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen squinted his eyes, his thoughts drifting to many, many years ago.
Although Danzo, En and the others were about the same age as him, they were almost adults when they became disciples of the second generation.
They had only heard of it, but had never seen with their own eyes the power of the two heroes in the ninja world.
In the opinion of these people, how strong can the two heroes of the ninja world be?
Being one and a half levels stronger than Hiruzen, and one level stronger than Senju Tobirama is a big deal, right?
Even if the mastermind behind the Night of the Kyuubi transplanted his Sharingan, the Sharingan is not an Uchiha transplant, which consumes a lot of money!
After all this calculation, how much stronger can the enemy be than Hiruzen Sarutobi?
But Sarutobi Hiruzen was brought up by the Nidaime since he was a child. During the Battle of the Valley of the End, the Nidaime took the young Sarutobi twenty miles away to prepare to support the First Daime.
He had seen it with his own eyes.
A huge blue samurai two to three hundred meters high, a Nine-Tails wearing Susanoo's armor, a Thousand-Armed Buddha that exceeds five hundred meters...
In the battle between them, the safe distance of twenty miles is not enough.
"A ghost!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a daze, and when he recalled the scene of the ground breaking apart decades ago, his voice involuntarily became sharp:
"A ghost of the Sharingan is wandering over Konoha!
In order to track down and suppress this ghost, all forces in Konoha, including Naruto and Uchiha, ninjas and civilians, ANBU and roots, should unite!
“Now is not a good time to weaken the Uchiha!
And originally I didn’t want to force the Uchiha into excess this time, just look at this. "
Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a scroll from his arms and said, "This is the information that came from the battlefield in the cloud and fog this morning."
Danzo unceremoniously took the scroll from the hands of the Third, and after reading it for a moment, his expression changed, "The Kumo ninja increased their troops by five thousand, and the Mist ninja increased their troops by two thousand. Are they crazy?"
The Third Ninja War has been going on for six or seven years. All countries are exhausted and their hearts are at ease.
Konoha has already signed a peace agreement with Sand and Iwa, and the intensity of the war with Kiri and Cloud has been decreasing again and again in the past year or two.
But now, Cloud Hidden Village and Kirigakure Village saw the hope of expanding their results. After confirming that the Nine-Tails Rebellion was true, they almost immediately mobilized troops to attack the Country of Fire.
"High, Hiruzen!" Danzo said with a sneer on his wrinkled face:
"The village suffered serious losses and Uchiha retained his strength, so you gave Uchiha another piece of cake.
In order to prove that the Nine-Tails Rebellion has nothing to do with Uchiha, and to prove that they are worthy of this pie, these crazy people will definitely rush to the battlefield. "
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. This was not his original intention. He had always agreed with the second generation's approach of trapping Uchiha in the security department.
The war will cause a large number of Uchiha personnel to be reduced, and it is also possible to temper elites...
But now, due to a combination of circumstances, the result cannot be said to be bad.
"Jiraiya!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment, his back that had been leaning on the chair suddenly straightened up, and he said loudly:
"I order you to command four thousand troops, and we will set off in three days. The Northern Cloud Ninja will stay outside the Fire Country Pass. As for the Kirigakure battlefield on the eastern front...
Let Uchiha send out 400 people, and the village will send another 600 and 1,000 people to support. Orochimaru, you just came back from the Eastern Front, so take a good rest. "
Sarutobi Hiruzen is now increasingly unable to see through his best disciple, and feels it is better to keep him under his nose.
"Alright!"
Orochimaru showed no disgust at being seized of power. Instead, he looked at the wrinkled and aged face of the third generation and smiled strangely, revealing his white teeth:
"Old man, you've aged a lot in just the past half month. If that doesn't work, you should ask Tsunade to learn the Yin seal!
Since I have nothing to do, I'll leave first! "
Orochimaru stood up and left.
He really couldn't stand his teacher's old look and wrinkled forehead.
This reminds him all the time, making him fear that one day he will become like that...
He has more important things to do than war and fighting for power!
"Orochimaru, wait for me!" Jiraiya also chased after him.
"What a good kid! He's just not as cute as he was when he was a kid!"
Oblivious to the hidden disgust and pity in Orochimaru's eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen proudly showed off his disciple's excellence to a few old friends.
After several advisors also left, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a slow drag on his cigarette and took off the Hokage hat on his head.
It had been more than a year since he had worn this item that had been with him for decades, and now he was still a little uncomfortable wearing it again.
The fourth generation passed away young, so I have to preserve this bamboo hat and pass it on to the fifth generation in the future.
For this reason, Uchiha can accept it even if he tolerates it temporarily. The village can no longer afford another civil strife...
"Orochimaru..." Sarutobi Hiruzen pressed his hand on the bamboo hat.
After a long time, he put the bamboo hat back on his head, shook his head and murmured:
"Orochimaru has snake eyes and a long tongue. He has no appearance of a king and must not shadow Konoha!
Jiraiya has no intention of being Hokage, and Shinnosuke lacks strength and prestige.
Let’s wait for Kakashi and Asuma’s generation to grow up! "
