I'm doing scientific research in the Ninja World

Konoha, Hokage Building.

"Hokage, we searched all over Konoha but couldn't find any trace of Orochimaru!"

An Anbu ninja knelt on one knee and reported to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had taken over the position of Hokage again.

From last night till now, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been active on the front line. As soon as he dealt with Minato's affairs, he thought of Orochimaru the first time.

He thought that Orochimaru was too tired after the war and returned to the village to rest early. At that time, many people did see him returning to the village.

In that case, no one thought much about it. Minato died after explaining his funeral affairs.

Kushina held on a little longer, but she also passed away this morning.

Since then, Konoha's fourth generation Hokage and his wife have died one after another.

This news has not yet spread completely, and Sarutobi Hiruzen does not intend to make it known to everyone.

Konoha is already in a panic now. If the impact of this matter is further expanded, the villagers will probably fall into panic.

"Are you sure you have found it? What did Danzo say?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked a little haggard, with dark circles under his eyes on his wrinkled face, and his hair was half white, as if he had aged a dozen years overnight.

He was smoking a pipe, and his expression became sinister after hearing the report from the Anbu ninja.

"Humph! I suspect that guy has defected!"

Without waiting for the Anbu ninja to reply, a murderous voice came from the door.

The man was leaning on a cane, with one hand hanging on his chest with gauze, and the only remaining eye was full of anger and murderous intent!

"Danzo! What did you say?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very surprised to see the man coming. He was not surprised that Danzo would come here, but what he said.

Last night, he saw with his own eyes the terrifying strength displayed by Orochimaru, which was no less than Minato, and even stronger.

But now, you told me that the man ran away so early in the morning?

Is it because I stayed up late and my eyes are blurry, my ears are ringing, or is it because you, Danzo, have taken gunpowder!

How can a mouth with a temperature of 37 degrees say such cold words? You can't talk nonsense like that.

"The roots have already gone to his house and scraped the ground three feet, and there is no one there!"

At this point, Danzo kicked the half-kneeling Anbu ninja with an angry face.

"Hmm?"

The ninja was kicked aside unexpectedly, and then glared at Danzo.

Who did you offend? Don't vent your anger on innocent people. Do you really think you are a stray dog ​​on the roadside? Just kick it if you don't like it?

However, when he met Danzo's ferocious face that was abstinent and spitting fire, he swallowed the words that just came to his mouth to greet his mother.

"Tell me what happened in detail?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't sit still after hearing this, and stood up quickly, staring at Danzo.

He knew that Orochimaru had great ambitions and might be somewhat dissatisfied with not being able to become Hokage before.

But now that Minato died in battle, shouldn't it be the best time for him to take the throne?

These are not the most important. The most important thing is that if a ninja with such terrifying strength like Orochimaru really defected, it would not only be a great loss for Konoha.

If Orochimaru harbored resentment towards Konoha, the consequences would be disastrous!

"The laboratory I provided him was burned down by a fire last night, and the root ninja guarding the laboratory has been destroyed!"

Danzo gritted his teeth and said hatefully, while angrily slapping the desk.

"His disciple named Hongdou also disappeared with him. I'm sure he must have defected!"

There was another thing he didn't say. He gave him the Byakugan that he had obtained with great difficulty last night before it was warm.

I thought today would be a good day. Not only did the Fourth Hokage die, but there was also hope for his Sharingan arm.

I didn't expect that the office desk was not only empty this morning, but I learned from my subordinates that the laboratory was burned.

This is how Orochimaru, the scoundrel, repays me!

At the critical moment, he turned around and took my money, and then he disappeared!

You can imagine how angry he is now. If this is not the Hokage's office, he would have flipped the table.

"Is it possible that he went out for something?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen still didn't want to believe that Orochimaru would defect, because the figure who fought against the tailed beast alone last night was really deeply rooted in people's hearts.

He just stood up to save Konoha last night, and defected today.

He was a hero of Konoha one moment, respected by all the people, and a traitor with heinous crimes the next moment?

"Do you believe what you said? I knew Orochimaru was not a good bird, and he was a traitor. I didn't expect that he has really become a traitor now!"

Danzo spitted and pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen's nose when he was excited.

Anyone would be qualifiedCan you imagine that this is said by Danzo with righteousness!

"What kind of disciples have you taught? They either ignore the village or run away every other day. Now, they just disappear without a word!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned pale when he heard Danzo say that Orochimaru was a traitor. After all, he was the disciple he taught, so he was in the wrong.

But when he heard that he also blamed Tsunade and Jiraiya, he finally couldn't sit still.

"Enough!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also slammed the table and shouted loudly!

The two old guys looked ugly and glared at each other with gloomy expressions.

It stands to reason that they should have good qi-cultivation skills after living a long life, and they are not easy to get angry.

It's just that too many things happened overnight, and the two of them were so upset that there was no result if they continued to rant like this.

"Ah...!"

After a long stalemate, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed heavily, and his face seemed to have aged a few years.

How could his three proud disciples be so troublesome?

Tsunade ran away from home, Jiraiya failed at a critical moment, and Orochimaru really went to the rescue, but he did this afterwards.

"It's so hard for me, alas! It seems that I'm really old, and the fledgling has grown into an eagle, and I can't control it!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe again and smoked it. Danzo also sat opposite him without saying a word, and the atmosphere fell into silence again.

The Anbu ninja had long disappeared. When the gods fight, mortals suffer. It's enough to be kicked for no reason!

"The group of dragons cannot be without a leader. The most urgent task is to re-elect a shadow to lead Konoha. The village cannot be in chaos!"

After a while, Danzo spoke first. It seems that he still has not given up on the position of Hokage.

Isn't it just the boss? He, Danzo, has no choice!

If Orochimaru is still in the village, he is likely to become the next Hokage with his achievements against the Nine-Tails last night.

But now that the man is gone, Danzo is still somewhat thankful in his heart. Maybe he can give it a try?

Even if he is still in Konoha, he can't be the Hokage.

Why? Because it's against the rules!

If Orochimaru knew Danzo was thinking this way, he would definitely slap him twice.

"Last year you said I wasn't qualified, this year you said I'm against the rules! It's better to save a dog than to save Konoha. At least the dog will wag its tail at you!"

"I plan to come out again and continue to lead Konoha until the right person for the Hokage appears!"

Before Danzo could fulfill his inner thoughts, Sarutobi Hiruzen's words brought him back to reality, and in an instant he fell into the abyss again!
