Konoha: I’m Not the Villain You Think I Am

Chapter 26: 026. Great Changes, Compromise



"Hiruzen, the top priority now is to discuss how to resist Cloud Shinobi Village and Rock Shinobi Village. It's too late to find traitors."

Danzo banged the crutch in his hand on the ground hard and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen indifferently.

He always thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen was too weak, which caused such a situation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a few deep puffs from the pipe in his hand and was silent for a long time. Then he slowly stood up and picked up the Hokage hood from the table.

"I have decided that I will personally go to the front line and lead the ninjas of Konoha to resist the attacks of Cloud Shinobi Village and Rock Shinobi Village."

"Hiruzen, no." Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura quickly stopped him.

However, as soon as they opened their mouths, they were interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen waving his hand.

"Needless to say, I can only take action at this stage, otherwise if we lose the war, Konoha will be completely subverted."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't dare to think about the consequences. If his teacher knew that Konoha was destroyed in his hands, he would die in peace.

Danzo also fell silent at this time, because he knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen's move was the best option and the last resort at this stage.

Otherwise, once the frontline ninjas cannot resist Cloud Shinobi Village and Rock Shinobi Village, the enemy will be able to march straight in and attack Konoha.

Until then, Kiri Ninja and Sand Shinobi will never give up on beating the drowned dog.

At that time, Konoha might really be destroyed!

The Hokage office was filled with smoke. At this time, everyone in the f4 group had a look of despair on their faces. You looked at me, I looked at you, but no sound came out after opening your mouth several times.

They couldn't understand what happened, why did the situation suddenly reverse?

It's even a matter of life and death!

Just when the few people ended their silence and were about to discuss the next specific action plan, Anbu's shout suddenly came from outside the door.

"Hokage-sama, Hokage-sama, the daimyo is here."

"Daimyo?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned upon hearing this and subconsciously stood up.

"Why did the daimyo come?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked directly at Danzo.

Unexpectedly, Danzo turned his eyes away, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel bad.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu both looked surprised.

"Yes, why did the Daimyo come?"

"Konoha didn't receive the notification either?"

"Why is the daimyo coming to Konoha at this time?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not answer Anbu's words, but just stared at Danzo.

"Danzo, what exactly do you want to do?"

"What to do? Sarutobi Hiruzen, I would like to ask you what to do?"

Before Danzo could open his mouth, an angry questioning voice from the Fire Country Daimyo came from outside the door.

Then the Hokage's office opened, and the Fire Country Daimyo rushed in with several guards.

"Hello, Mr. Sonoichi Kyū!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said even though he was confused by the direct question from the Fire Nation daimyo, he still said respectfully.

"Okay? I'm not good. A few days ago, the ninjas from Rock Shinobi Village actually crossed the defense line and openly attacked me in the capital?"

"Is this happening? Why didn't I know! Is Rock Shinobi Village crazy?"

"Hmph, you'd better not know. Fortunately, Orochimaru arrived in time, otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to see me now!"

"These days, Konoha is setting under your fingertips. Both Rock Shinobi and Cloud Shinobi have entered the territory of the Fire Nation, and they have invaded many towns in a few days. I paid a lot of money to support you, and this is what you do to me. Doing things?"

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed not to hear what the daimyo said, and just stared blankly at Orochimaru who came in with the daimyo.

Thinking of Danzo's silent expression before, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to realize something for a moment.

I...are you trying to force me to have an abortion?

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly saw his surroundings.

At some point, Anbu's ninja slowly retreated together and finally stopped behind Orochimaru.

Although Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked worried and seemed to know nothing, Danzo remained motionless.

The scene before him made Sarutobi Hiruzen smell something different.

'No, I still have Namikaze Minato, and Ino-Shika-Chō, and...'

But the next second, Sarutobi Hiruzen's whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and his mind went blank.

Namikaze Minato is still on the front line, and so is Ino–Shika–Chō.

These days, the front line has been losing battles one after another, and Sarutobi Hiruzen has sent out all the people he can.

Even he was preparing to go to the front line. At this time, there was no one available around him.

In other words, the only people left around him now are Danzo's people and Orochimaru's people.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked past the figure of the Fire Country Daimyo to Orochimaru.

At this time, Orochimaru also raised his head, with a hint of obvious mockery on his lips.

Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly had a wry smile on his face, as if he had accepted his fate.

"I see."

Exhaling heavily, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Fire Country Daimyo.

"Lord Sonoichi Shu, I am responsible for the defeat of the war. I am willing to abdicate and give up the position of Hokage to my disciple... Orochimaru."

"From today... Orochimaru is the fourth generation Hokage of Konoha. Congratulations, Orochimaru..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru with a complicated expression.

He once had a fantasy that Orochimaru would take over his position in the future, become the next Hokage, and lead Konoha forward.

I just didn't expect it to be in such a situation.

I didn't expect it to be done in this way.

Sarutobi Hiruzen just thought silently, hoping that Orochimaru could do what a Kage should do and protect Konoha.

Otherwise, he will take back the Hokage in Orochimaru's hands even if he dies.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also thought about being tough.

However, Konoha is now surrounded by enemies and must not lose the power of Orochimaru and the daimyo...

Sarutobi Hiruzen compromised.

The Fire Nation Daimyo actually smiled happily.

"Haha, Sarutobi Hiruzen, you should have been like this."

"Orochimaru, I believe that under your leadership, Konoha can quickly defeat Rock Shinobi Village and Cloud Shinobi Village and restore my territory!"

"I will ask the Finance Minister to increase aid to Konoha now!"

"Orochimaru, please don't live up to my expectations."

"It is an honor to serve the daimyo." Orochimaru said leisurely.

"Hahahahaha...."

The daimyo laughed, and Orochimaru laughed too.

Although they are not happy about the same thing.

On the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were silent.

After a long time, Danzo stood up and looked up at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hiruzen, you are getting old. It is long past time for Orochimaru to succeed you."

Danzo did not recommend Namikaze Minato to become the Fourth Hokage from the beginning, the person Danzo recommended was Orochimaru,

Because he believed that Sarutobi Hiruzen's original intention was to use Minato as a puppet to try to control Konoha all the time.

It's a pity that Sarutobi Hiruzen's power is too strong. Even if Danzo is dissatisfied, he can only watch Namikaze Minato become the next generation of Hokage little by little.

Until this crucial turning point.

Danzo would rather Orochimaru become a Hokage than Namikaze Minato.

Of course, he would prefer that he be, but he knows that he doesn't have that power yet.

Just like Uchiha Suke, he does not have the conditions to become a Hokage at this stage.

To put it bluntly, the time it took for him to acquire the emotion collection system was too short. His current strength is not enough, and he needs to develop it in a low-key manner for a while.

Not to mention, Hokage is not about fighting and killing, but about worldliness.

Listening to the laughter in my ears,

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen only felt that the laughter of Orochimaru and the others was very noisy.

At this moment,

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly saw Uchiha Suke standing beside Orochimaru.

This is the first time he meets Uchiha Suke.

Seeing the clan emblem on Uchiha Suke, he knew that Uchiha Suke was a member of the Uchiha clan.

For some reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly thought of the person Orochimaru had specifically asked for from him before.

'Could it be that he is... Uchiha Suke? '

Uchiha Suke also raised his head and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen at this time, with a slight smile on his lips.

From today onwards,

Konoha will enter the era of Orochimaru...
