Rated Hokage

Chapter 35 35, Orochimaru's humility

The meeting room of the Hokage Building gathered all the high-level people in the village.

The heads of the major families, such as Hyuga Hyuzu, Uchiha Fugaku, and Nara Shikahisa.

And some well-known Jonin, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato, etc.

On the left and right sides of Hokage, there are also two Hokage consultants and Shimura Danzo sitting respectively.

These people are sitting here to discuss the matter of Kirigakure ninjas who are constantly harassing their borders.

This ninja world war is not over, but has entered a period of calm. Both Konoha and Iwain are seriously injured, but the remaining three parties in the five major ninja villages still have spare strength, and no one can be sure about the future direction.

"Who do you guys think is in charge of Kirinin?" Sarutobi was the chief, looking at the people on the left and right.

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one took the initiative to speak.

There are only two candidates for this so-called chief general, Minato and Orochimaru, and everyone present knows it well.

But at this moment, no one is the first to choose who they support.

Seeing that no one spoke, Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya whose arm was still hanging by a bandage on his right.

"Jiraiya, what do you think?"

Ji Lai also heard the words but was a little embarrassed, asking him to say that he was naturally supporting his disciples.

But at the moment Orochimaru was sitting opposite him, and what happened before made him feel guilty, and he couldn't answer Sarutobi's question right now.

"How about... I, I go?" He hesitated.

Yuan Fei was quite speechless: "Okay, don't die there again like this."

Ji Lai also laughed dryly immediately: "I said I wanted to go, but you won't let me go."

Sarutobi didn't bother to pay attention to his way of avoiding the question, and looked at the outsiders again.

Fuyue and Nizuzu sat in their respective positions and closed their eyes to rest, seemingly turning a deaf ear to everything around them.

"I recommend Minato." Lu Jiu said suddenly at this moment.

"In the battle with Iwanin, everyone should know how Minato performed. It is precisely because of Minato that we can win time and time again. This time, Minato will also be able to successfully lead and defeat the enemy in this war with Mist Ninja."

Sarutobi nodded in relief, and glanced at the others: "Does anyone have any other ideas?"

Lu Jiu started, and many people present spoke out in support of Minato.

Orochimaru had the usual expression on this, but every time someone spoke, he glanced away.

"I think Master Orochimaru should be in charge."

Finally, there were different voices in the room.

The reason for this person is that Orochimaru brought reinforcements in the previous battle with Iwa Ninja, and he also claimed that if Master Orochimaru had led them from the beginning, the battle with Iwa Ninja must have been won long ago.

His words also won many supporters.

Listening to the voice in the room supporting Orochimaru, Danzo couldn't help but raised the corner of his mouth.

But fortunately, the people who supported Minato and the people who supported Orochimaru did not have any disputes with each other, they just simply stated their own ideas. Although they have their own supporters, they also respect the other of the two.

Seeing this, Yuan Fei secretly sighed in his heart, he had already expected this scene.

He naturally wanted Minato to be the chief general, but he also knew that some people would be dissatisfied by doing so. Orochimaru saved Konoha, and everyone owed his kindness to him.

He looked at Orochimaru and found that he was also staring at himself.

After thinking for a while, Sarutobi said, "Oshemaru, you think..."

"I think it's better for Minato to lead us to fight this battle." Orochimaru interrupted what Sarutobi wanted to say.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the conference room, and everyone present was shocked. Could this be something that came from Dashemaru?

Danzo frowned instantly, and his eyes became gloomy. He had specially reminded Orochimaru to fight for this seat before, but now Orochimaru is going to give it up!
Minato sat there in a daze for a long while, and after regaining his senses, he quickly said, "No, I'm still inferior compared to Orochimaru-senpai..."

"Minato, you don't have to be humble." Orochimaru said with a light smile.

"You have been fighting side by side with everyone on the front line, and the companions in the village also trust you more. I believe that you will definitely lead everyone to repel the fog ninja."

People like Sarutobi and Jiraiya who are familiar with Orochimaru seem to have re-acquainted with Orochimaru, and their eyes are extremely surprised.

Sarutobi thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of what Orochimaru could plot.

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya at this moment and asked, "Jiraiya, what do you think?"

Jilai also reacted from the daze: "I... agree with your idea."

Orochimaru glanced at everyone present again: "Compared to Minato, I am not suitable for this position, so you don't have to recommend me. I believe Minato can do better than me."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and if the occasion didn't allow it, they couldn't help whispering.

Sarutobi coughed lightly, and then made a decision.

"Since Orochimaru has said so, Kirigakure will trouble Minato."

Minato stood up and bowed when he heard the words, "You should try your best!"

When the meeting dissipated, Orochimaru ignored Danzo's cold eyes and left.

Seeing the people gathered in twos and twos discussing something in a low voice, Orochimaru was filled with disdain. These people would never guess what he would do.

All of them are in high positions, but their political acumen is pitifully low in the eyes of Orochimaru.

In this regard, it really crushed them completely.

In thinking this way, he has excluded himself.

Orochimaru thinks that he just doesn't bother to think about this kind of thing and is with them, and now it is enough for Zhen to come to make suggestions for himself.

On Minato's side, the Hokage Building that he and Zhuludie left together.

Lu Jiu was still frowning, thinking hard about the unpredictable behavior of Orochimaru today.

Orochimaru also coveted the position of Hokage, which is well known, what made him change his temper.

"Could it be possible..." Lu Jiu suddenly thought of something and muttered to himself.

"What's wrong?" Minato asked.

Lu Jiu's face changed, and he whispered to Minato, "Did you forget why we were retreating steadily when we were fighting Iwanin?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the rest of the people all changed.

Minato frowned lightly and said, "Lujiu, if you think that way, you've decided that the inner ghost has something to do with Oshemaru-senpai."

Lu Jiu's meaning is very clear. The reason why Orochimaru gave up this position to Minato is because he intends to secretly make some small moves in the rear to make Minato stumble on the front line.

At that time, he will play the role of the savior again and collect all the fruits.

Lu Jiu said: "Shuimen, this is a big matter, we cannot be careless."

However, Minato said: "If it is really what Oshemaru-senpai did, we have to produce evidence. At that time, Hokage-sama and Konoha's companions will judge this sinner. If there is no evidence, everything is just our random imagination. I can't use this as a fact to speculate on other people's thoughts, since I have taken this position, I will naturally try my best to bring victory to the village!"

Lu Jiu just smiled wryly when he heard the words, Minato could only say beautiful words, and they had to do other things.

　Piaopiao, please help the children!
