After arranging all the villagers and Genin to the shelter, the remaining 1,000 Chunins and Jonins finally returned to the village under the leadership of Orochimaru.
But the original village had been razed to the ground...
No! To be precise, it was a basin!
Only the part at the foot of the Hokage Rock remained horizontal, but it was also pierced beyond recognition by many trees!
Orochimaru looked up at the stone sculpture of the first generation and felt particularly mocking for a moment!
Looking at the big Buddha standing in the center of the village, he touched the storage scroll in his arms, and his heart was filled with infinite desire for power!
And the fear of Nanaya!
The opponent's strength was so terrifying!
"Lord Orochimaru! There are survivors here!"
"Lord! There are also survivors here!"
"Lord! There are too few traces left around, and the results of the battle are unclear!"
"Confirm the situation of the survivors first!"
Hearing Orochimaru's order, more than 20 Hyuga Chunins continued to investigate! The rest of them used ninjutsu to start digging!
"Sir! We have too few people to manage, and it will be too slow to dig like this! Please make an idea!"
Orochimaru pondered for a moment:
"Go to the outer defense cordon and call back the guards! Also, let the medical ninjas in the shelter come over!"
"Yes!"
Orochimaru took two steps and came to the survivors who were dug out, and used chakra to sense them for a moment.
Bone fracture... Chakra depleted... Cell activity reduced...
Orochimaru was very surprised. With the power of the Buddha, you can see how miserable Konoha was after the war. Why are there still survivors? And there are more than one!
He really doesn't understand Qiye!
After they came out of the root, Qiye didn't choose to escape directly as a rebel ninja, which was enough to surprise him.
But people die for money, birds die for food, and it is reasonable for the other party to go to Konoha to find another piece of Hashirama's cells.
But now he doesn't understand it again!
Qiye obviously has the power to massacre a village, why would he retreat? Wouldn't it be better to just wipe out Konoha?
Retreating is fine, but leaving someone alive?
Nanaya! What on earth do you want to do!
Although no direct evidence has been found and the battlefield has not been cleaned up, Orochimaru does not think that Nanaya will die here.
…
Two days later.
Beside the edge of the ruins of Konoha, earth houses made by earth escape are neatly arranged, and medical ninjas are constantly guarding back and forth.
On the other side of the open space, tens of thousands of people gathered together.
A stepped, semicircular ring platform faces the villagers.
And in the middle of the two, there is a separate round platform.
This is the first village meeting held by Konoha after the war.
The platform is full of representatives of various tribes and representatives of Konoha's confidential departments.
That's right, representatives! Not some leaders in power!
After two days of excavation, everyone got an astonishing result!
Konoha's high-level officials and high-level officials of various tribes are all missing!
Not only that.
They have excavated until now, and there is no body, all of them are Konoha's wounded!
This situation gives them a headache! Very headache!
"On behalf of the Nara clan, I support Orochimaru as the acting fourth-generation Hokage."
On the semicircular giant stage, Nara Shikaku stood up and said, then sat down with a sad face.
On the side, Uchiha Fugaku was also heartbroken:
"Uchiha gives up."
Hyuga Hizashi, not to mention, burst into tears:
"On behalf of the Hyuga clan, I support Orochimaru as the acting fourth-generation Hokage."
Representatives stood up one after another to vote on the decisions of each clan, but no one was over 25 years old!
And every time they mentioned Orochimaru's name, Orochimaru, who was sitting alone in the candidate seat, would twitch his eyelids once!
"Since Orochimaru has more than half of the votes, and the other candidates are also on the front line of the Rain Country, we will not have candidates speak, and now we will directly enter the public voting stage. Villagers, please raise your hands if you agree that Orochimaru will be the acting fourth-generation Hokage."
As soon as the host finished speaking, the villagers on the other side raised their hands!
Especially those villagers who were led by Orochimaru to escape were the most active!
While raising their hands, they kept promoting it to the people around them!
Even though they had said those words countless times in the past two days.
There was no need to count them, the host said directly:
"I announce that after a nationwide election, the current Orochimaru will serve as the acting fourth Hokage! Please ask the acting Hokage to come on stage and say a few words to everyone."
"..."
Orochimaru walked onto the central earthen platform in silence.
"Well... I'm just acting for a period of time. Strictly speaking, I can't even be considered an acting Hokage, because everyone knows now that we only have two tasks now! Build the village as quickly as possible and rescue all the supplies! The other is to track the whereabouts of the traitor Nanaya! Rescue those hostages! I'm done! Everyone follow the instructions."Let's distribute the tasks and carry out the excavation work in an orderly manner!"
Whether in the audience or on the stage, everyone was stunned, and then began to applaud wildly!
Orochimaru's mouth twitched!
He now hoped that the time would come to night! Then he would talk to Qiye!
This might be the surprise the other party said!
If it really is.
Then Qiye will definitely wait for him there!
Because as the Hokage, his role and status will be turned upside down!
"Hokage, are you free now? We have something to discuss with you."
The slightly immature family representatives stood beside Orochimaru.
Most of them had no more pain on their faces!
