DC New Krypton

Hokage's office.

"Orochimaru..." Hearing the report from Mitarashi Anko, the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen paused holding his pipe, and the curling smoke seemed to blur his eyes.

It has been a long time since he received news from his beloved disciple.

If Orochimaru had not made a mistake and deviated from the path he had arranged for him, he would not have rebelled against Konoha and become an S-level rebel ninja of Konoha.

It has been more than ten years, and Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that he would never see Orochimaru again in his position as Hokage. Unexpectedly, Orochimaru chose to hide during this period and entered the second exam.

"Hokage, we should stop the Chunin Exam immediately..." Mitarashi Anko said sternly: "Orochimaru must have some unknown conspiracy. If the Chunin Exam continues, it will only be used by Orochimaru."

Sarutobi Hiruzen woke up a little, put down his pipe, and after pondering, he said in a deep voice: "Continue the Chunin Exam, I will arrange for the Anbu to strengthen defense.

No matter what kind of conspiracy Orochimaru has, since he covets the Chunin Exam, he will always appear in the end. We should remain unchanged in the face of all changes. This time, Orochimaru can't escape from Konoha Village!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was somewhat sonorous and resolute, and he had no intention of stopping the Chunin Exam.

The notice of the third battle of this Chunin Exam has been sent to the nobles of the Land of Fire and other countries. The nobles have also started to set off. What followed was the merchants from various countries coming to Konoha Village, bringing a series of economic revitalization. The issue of Konoha's interests could not be stopped by Orochimaru.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also believed that even if Orochimaru came to the end, he would not be able to do anything to Konoha.

As the largest ninja village in the ninja world, Konoha Village is not so easy to be slaughtered.

And Orochimaru is not qualified yet.

Ten years ago, he let Orochimaru go because he couldn't bear it. Now that Orochimaru has returned to Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't plan to let Orochimaru leave Konoha Village again.

"But, Hokage..." Mitarashi Anko was a little anxious. She was the one who could understand the horror of Orochimaru the most. If she continued to be a Chunin, it was hard to imagine what Orochimaru would do.

"Anko! Don't mess yourself up because of Orochimaru's appearance." Seeing Mitarashi Anko's anxious and flustered look, Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and shouted softly.

Konoha Village is not afraid of Orochimaru. On the contrary, it should be Orochimaru who is afraid of Konoha Village. Mitarashi Anko's appearance is obviously a bit embarrassing for the Konoha Village ninjas. She can't even control her emotions.

"Yes..." Mitarashi Anko knew that she was already in a state of confusion after seeing Orochimaru. Even if she was awakened by Sarutobi Hiruzen, she couldn't adjust her mentality.

At this moment, Hatake Kakashi's ninja dog Parker jumped in from the window of the Hokage's office.

"This is what Kakashi asked me to bring to you." Parker jumped from the window to the Hokage's desk and released the scroll he was biting. "My mission is completed."

With a bang, Parker completed the mission and disappeared in the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was slightly tense. It was probably not a simple matter for Kakashi to use the ninja dog to send a message.

Before that, Sarutobi Hiruzen already knew that Hatake Kakashi rushed over to deal with the problem of the curse seal of Uchiha Sasuke of Team 7, and it should not be so urgent that he needed to use the psychic thin ninja dog to send a message.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the scroll with a bit of an emergency mentality in his heart and opened it to see.

The first thing I saw was Hatake Kakashi reporting that Uchiha Sasuke's Heavenly Curse Seal had been sealed by him with the Sealing Evil Seal, and that he was safe for the time being. Uchiha Sasuke insisted on taking the Chunin Exam, and then Haruno Sakura heard the conversation between Orochimaru and Hyuga Neji, and confirmed that Haruno Sakura's report said that Hyuga Neji wanted to become the Hokage of Konoha after becoming a Chunin.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face changed, and his face became gloomy.

Want to become a Hokage?

Become a Hokage after the Chunin Exam?

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You are too talented, Hyuga Neji, can't you suppress your ambition? You are not satisfied with controlling half of the caged bird Hyuga branch, and you start to covet my seat!" Sarutobi Hiruzen originally planned to quickly make Hyuga Neji a Chunin and directly reach Jonin.

But he didn't expect that Hyuga Neji wanted to improve too much and wanted to take his own seat directly.

After calculating several times in his mind, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyes from the scroll: "You continue to pay attention to the second exam. I have sent the Anbu to search for Orochimaru's traces in the Death Forest and protect the second exam. If there is any news about Orochimaru, notify me as soon as possible."

"Yes, Hokage." Mitarashi Anko had no choice but to respond directly.

"Go down first." Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was cold.

"Yes." Mitarashi Anko left the Hokage's office and continued to rush to the Death Forest to supervise the second exam.

"Invite the head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi, to come to discuss matters." Sarutobi Hiruzen's calm face, his eyes flashed with coldness.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could tolerate Hyuga Neji's strength, and even planned to discuss with Shimura Danzo, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu to give Hyuga Neji a position so that Hyuga Neji could contribute to Konoha Village.

Hyuga Neji doesn't care about himself as the Hokage, and Sarutobi Hiruzen can tolerate it, because he can understand the arrogance of these young geniuses. As long as they don't cause damage to Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen can tolerate it.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen absolutely cannot tolerate people who are interested in the position of Hokage, except Shimura Danzo.

If it's just an ordinary teenage ninja who wants to become a Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen can encourage them to work hard.

But Hyuga Neji said that he would become the Hokage of Konoha after the Chunin Exam, Sarutobi Hiruzen is almost certain that with Hyuga Neji's strength, he must want to kill himself and use force to become the Hokage of Konoha.

Konoha Village must not fall into the hands of such a person who relies on force to rule, and Hyuga Neji will definitely lead Konoha Village to the abyss.

Without the recognition of other people in Konoha Village, he wants to use force to make everyone recognize him as the Hokage of Konoha. Sarutobi Hiruzen must not let Hyuga Neji do such a thing.

Soon, Hyuga Hiashi of the Hyuga clan came to the Hokage's office.

"Hiashi, you are right. Hyuga Neji has lost control because of his genius. After the Chunin Exam, I will bring people with you to deal with Neji." Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly.

Hyuga Hiashi once hinted that Sarutobi Hiruzen should cooperate with him to solve the trouble of Hyuga clan, Hyuga Neji.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen did not agree, nor did he refuse.

Until now, he made a decision.

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Hyuga Hiruzen's eyes flickered.
