Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 234 The Fourth Hokage Delayed Succession

Two days later, the jounin vote of confidence regarding who would be Hokage, Namikaze Minato or Orochimaru, began. More than three hundred jounin gathered in the Hokage Building, and the large conference room was packed to capacity.

The Third Hokage sat on the high platform in the center, with Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru standing on either side of him.

After doing it all night long, Aburame Tetsumaru decided to change his mind and came to watch this big show. Originally, he wanted to squeeze in next to Aburame Shiwei and ask him about Shino.

But the Anbu who managed the order took him directly to the first row and sat next to Nara Shikaku. On the other side was the annoying Mito Gate. Aburame Tetsumaru looked around and found that the first row was full of villagers.

The top jounin, and Uzumaki Kushina is also sitting in this row.

The first thought was that the Sandaime wanted to show off his family background and scare people, and then he immediately thought that Namikaze Minato was competing for the position of Hokage, and Uzumaki Kushinasaku was also a Jonin. As the family members of the preparatory Hokage, it was very reasonable to be placed in the first row. This way

It seemed easier to hide her jinchuriki identity.

As for Aburame Tetsumaru being placed in the front row, it is more reasonable. Anti-mura weapons that have been officially used on the battlefield should not be displayed as much as possible.

In fact, Aburame Tetsumaru is just like Orochimaru. He stays in his laboratory and never participates in various activities. Even if he is invited by the Hokage, he can throw it into the trash can in front of the ANBU.

And the Third Hokage never got angry when he heard Anbu's angry feedback. He would smile and ask Anbu to back down every time. He wouldn't be angry. The Hokage liked this kind of ninja the most. He usually kept a low profile and was busy with his own work.

Don't fight for power if you like it, and you can put it to use at critical moments.

Moreover, Aburame Tetsumaru's hobby is fruitful. Recently, the village's "Giant Insect Troop" replaced their insects. Compared with the new giant insects, those insects turned out to be really small.

The "Giant Insect Troop", which has replaced shotguns with cannons, has been very impressive in the country of Taki recently, and some offenses in the past are not a big deal, so they must sit in the front row.

This is the favor given by the Third Hokage to the Aburame Tetsumaru Jonin. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that this guy may be the person behind the New Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water, absolutely nothing.

After the classic Spirit of Fire speech, the Third Hokage stepped down from the stage and handed the stage over to the two Hokage candidates. The other Jonin stepped up one by one to vote for the two candidates.

Seeing the scene of public voting in person, Aburame Tetsumaru almost laughed. Can this method reflect the personal will of the voters? Of course not.

This method can only reflect power and influence, but it can actually convince the loser, because it can really make the loser realize what power means and that it means being stronger than you.

At first, civilian ninjas voted, with the veteran Jonin Orochimaru having a big advantage. But as ninjas from small families began to vote, none of them went to Orochimaru, and they all voted for Namikaze Minato.

Gradually, the great ninja clan also appeared. Except for a few stupid young people from the Inuzuka family who voted for Orochimaru, all the votes also went to Namikaze Minato.

The funniest thing happened. After the Hyuga family came on stage, they were half on one side and went through the motions.

Finally, the Uchiha family came on stage, and they voted for Minato Namikaze. Minato was so embarrassed that he could only touch his head and giggle.

At this time, it was the turn of the ninjas in the first row. In fact, the situation was decided at this time, but due to the Hokage's advance explanation, the remaining ninjas walked up one by one to vote for Minato.

Naruto's face gradually became ugly. He did not expect such a one-sided situation to occur. Did Orochimaru really not canvass for him at all?

If this is true, then something is wrong.

As a result, the situation really took the worst direction. Seeing that everyone had voted for Minato, the remaining ninjas were afraid of becoming a different person in the Hokage's eyes, so they could only follow the trend and vote for Minato.

At this point, the flavor of the vote was completely wrong, from selecting Minato Namikaze to a public humiliation of Orochimaru.

Knowing that Aburame Tetsumaru stood up, passed by Namikaze Minato and smiled at him, then walked straight to Orochimaru and gave his vote to Orochimaru without any hesitation.

At this time, the Aburame clan leader, Namikaze Minato, and Mito Kadeni in the hall all breathed a sigh of relief, and even Sarutobi Hiruzen felt relieved, as someone finally gave everyone a step down.

Immediately afterwards, Mito Kaden and others all voted for Orochimaru, and finally this candidate did not end the voting with double-digit votes.

After the last Jonin cast his vote for Orochimaru, Orochimaru suddenly said: "The voting is over. I won't have anything to do next, so I will go back."

After saying that, without even looking at his teacher, Orochimaru was swallowed by a giant python that came out of the ground and disappeared.

Aburame Tetsumaru's eyes lit up. This ninjutsu was obviously a reference to his Insect Technique, and it had been upgraded with black technology to accommodate the elements of space and achieve teleportation without drilling holes in advance.

Good stuff, exchange it with Orochimaru.

Aburame Tetsumaru didn't care about the Hokage's face. He used the teleportation technique and left the conference room without waiting for the Hokage to announce the result.

The third person who didn't give the Hokage face was Uzumaki Kushina. She jumped up from her seat and rushed towards her lover. She hugged Minato's neck across the table and shouted excitedly: "

You are the Hokage, Minato, you are the Hokage."

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, let out a long sigh, took off his hat, and walked to the stage. Although there were some problems with the arrangement, the handover process still had to be completed.

"Kushina, you go down first and let me have a few words with Minato."

The Third Hokage announced the voting results and gave the Hokage hat that he had worn for nearly thirty years until it was smooth and smooth to Namikaze Minato. The candidate for the Fourth Hokage was finally determined.

Although, it is delayed by more than half a year than in history.

…

Not to mention how the Third Hokage gave the hat to the Fourth Hokage, Aburame Tetsumaru found Orochimaru's laboratory, but there was no one inside, and then he found the second and third secret laboratories, but no one was there.

in.

After finding the sixth secret laboratory, Tetsumaru finally found Orochimaru who was concentrating on doing experiments. This laboratory was not as clean and tidy as the previous ones.

Rough thick wooden boards were erected next to the unmodified walls, with rough restraint iron rings nailed on them, and unknown corpses were tied up. One corpse after another filled the unventilated basement, and the smell was so strong that it made people's heads spin.

.

The previous Orochimaru was not such a vegetarian. Although he became more and more perverted on the road to immortality, the bottom line in his work was still there. When conducting human body research, he chose enemy village ninjas from captives. He had never been interested in the Fire.

The people of the country took action.

But Aburame Tetsumaru found Fire Nation costumes in the corner of the room, which meant that these corpses contained people from the Fire Nation, or even from the Leaf Village.

[Orochimaru, this guy’s hands are quite dark, and he is indeed a perverted person. Should we absorb him? 】

Suddenly Orochimaru said: "You can indeed find it here, Tetsumaru-kun. It seems that I have no secrets in Konoha Village that I can hide from you."

Aburame Tetsumaru first adjusted the genital suit to internal circulation to prevent Orochimaru from taking advantage of the smell to release any strange poisonous gas, and then said with a smile: "Orochimaru-sama is joking, I have something to ask you this time.

of."

"Haha, as soon as I heard you call me 'sir', I knew that someone was interested in me. What do you want?"

"I really liked the python-swallowing ninjutsu you used when you just left the venue."

"Okay, what can you give me?"

A few minutes later, Aburame Tetsumaru left Orochimaru's laboratory. The negotiation went very smoothly. He was holding a ninjutsu scroll in his hand. He really didn't expect that Orochimaru would choose to ask for money this time.

Although the amount of money is huge, for Orochimaru and his Aburame Tetsumaru, money is something they cannot use. They have the support of a huge production system behind them, and Orochimaru also has the support of Konoha Village.

Orochimaru asked Tetsumaru for money, which means that he needs to find resources outside the support of Konoha Village. Coupled with the ninjutsu scrolls prepared in advance, the newly decorated laboratory with rough decoration, and the unscrupulous human experiments, it seems that Orochimaru has already

He was mentally prepared for losing the position of Hokage, and he was preparing to leave Konoha.

Orochimaru's defection is destined, he is a prodigal, and he is not born to be restrained.

But Orochimaru's parents died early, and he became a student with Hiruzen Sarutobi when he was a child. Hiruzen had high hopes for him and regarded him as his own son. For Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi was more than just a teacher.

The mentor also firmly occupies the position of father. The depth of love between the two is definitely not comparable to that of Jiraiya and Tsunade.

For the sake of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru suppressed his prodigal heart, fought for Konoha Village through life and death, gave up precious research time, and commanded the ninja army to fight fiercely with the enemy.

Even when Tsunade ran away and Jiraiya was looking for the son of destiny, only Orochimaru stood firmly behind the Third Hokage, watching his "father" who became smaller and smaller with age, silently

Shen Sheng takes on more responsibilities.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi ascended to the position of Hokage, he expressed his hope that Orochimaru would become the next Hokage, so he worked hard to act as a perfect Hokage successor and work conscientiously for the interests of the Leaf Village.

Until recently, Sarutobi Hiruzen broke the promise he made twenty years ago and publicly campaigned for Namikaze Minato to succeed the Fourth Hokage.

The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. The role Orochimaru worked hard to play was denied by Sarutobi Hiruzen. He finally unlocked the last shackles and completely let himself go no longer hiding his perverted nature.

Orochimaru devoted all his energy to the pursuit of ninjutsu and immortality, and his behavior became more and more unscrupulous. He believed in ninjutsu and power and ignored life. He soon couldn't survive in Konoha Village and became one of the most powerful people in Konoha Village.

One of the top-rated rebel ninjas.

However, Orochimaru's character does not affect his talent. After Aburame Tetsumaru saw the new ninjutsu, he had to admit that this ninjutsu was really good. He even directly used it to improve the Insect Way Jutsu and the improved transmission speed.

And the scope of export application can be greatly increased.

[Well, aside from the fact that he is a pervert, Orochimaru is still very, very good.]

Aburame Tetsumaru made up his mind to recruit Orochimaru to join him. It was time for him to prepare for Orochimaru's defection.

First of all, when Orochimaru defected, Aburame Tetsumaru wanted to stop him, hit him hard, humiliate him, and leave a deep impression on him.

After that, he had to keep informing Jiraiya, and the chase left him with no place to stay and made him tired and haggard.

Finally, after Orochimaru went through all kinds of hardships to establish his own business, he used force to acquire his property, which made him despair.

Until he was forced to join civilization and work for Aburame Tetsumaru for life.

Plan passes.

…

Today, the handover of Hokage was officially completed, and a ceremony should have been held immediately to celebrate the fourth Hokage taking office.

Unfortunately, the third Hokage's haori was too small for the fourth Hokage to wear, so he had to urgently order a new one, and the ceremony could only be held tomorrow.

The above are all jokes made up by ignorant villagers. In fact, there is still one more procedure to go through before the Hokage succeeds to the throne, that is, the new Hokage needs to go to the Fire City to meet the Daimyo and obtain his approval.

Although the third generation of Hokages do not like this daimyo, this rule was set by the first generation, so you still have to go through the necessary procedures, otherwise you will always feel that something is missing, and it will be a bit strange when the Hokage asks the daimyo for money in the future.

Feeling, this is not good.

Moreover, it is not far from Konoha Village to the City of Fire. It only takes two hours for two senior ninjas to make the trip. It will not delay the ceremony the next day, or even delay going home for dinner today.

Therefore, the Third Hokage felt that it was necessary to take the Fourth Hokage in person and show him how the Hokage could confidently ask the Daimyo for money. This was very important.

Early the next morning, Konoha Village began to be decorated, and the busy villagers did not notice a white-haired ninja passing through the gate of Konoha Village.

But the appearance of this ninja cannot be ignored by Konoha ninjas, and soon the patrolling ninjas recognized him.

"Jiraiya-sama, you are back!"

Jiraiya took out a small fan from his arms, danced a sexy Noto dance, and then loudly announced: "The prodigal son Jiraiya is back."

But the next second, a piece of information hit him and he was stunned: "Jiraiya-sama, your disciple Namikaze Minato-sama has become the Hokage!"

Bang, the small fan fell to the ground.

"Really, today is the day when the Fourth Hokage takes over. We have been preparing for this early in the morning."

Jiraiya turned his head sluggishly, looked at the surrounding environment carefully, and then laughed wildly. With a smile, he used the teleportation technique and left.

…

Jiraiya, the Jounin of Konoha, is a great example of ninja in the eyes of ninjas in the ninja world.

But in Aburame Tetsumaru's heart, he couldn't understand this comment. For such a lazy, late man, and a man with no sense of responsibility, how could he deserve it?

Jiraiya grew up to be a top ninja by eating Konoha's resources, but his contribution to Konoha Village was not as good as Tetsumaru. Apart from his personal strength, how can Jiraiya be called a model of ninja?

For the sake of the so-called "child of destiny", he betrayed Tsunade's feelings, betrayed Hiruzen Sarutobi's trust, betrayed the responsibility of Konoha Village, and betrayed the great trust of Minato, Nagato, Yahiko, Konan and other disciples.

In the eyes of Aburame Tetsumaru, Jiraiya was deceived by the alien immortals and was toyed with all his life. He became a tragic character in the drama written by the boss, a complete wretch.

It happened that all the Konoha ninjas admired him very much. Aburame Tetsumaru couldn't understand this at all, or there was a cultural gap.

In any case, Jiraiya's return made the gloom that permeated the heart of Konoha Murakami dissipate. Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled again, and Orochimaru also got out of the snake hole, showing off his skills to Jiraiya.

Disciple and arrogantly angry.

Namikaze Minato put on the Hokage Haori and the Hokage hat, and made a public appearance in the Hokage Building, announcing the arrival of the era of the Fourth Hokage.
