Chương 148: Give Me a Hard Punch!
Danzo's shouting had no effect.
Hiruzen ordered two Anbu to escort him, ensuring that no one intermediated for him at any time.
Even Danzo himself honestly released his resistance, preparing to wait for this wave of rhythm before finding a way to come back again.
After all, he still had a lot of black information about Orochimaru in his hands. Once spread, it would definitely tarnish Orochimaru's reputation.
Just prevent Orochimaru from truly ascending to the throne.
As for Hiruzen, this soft-hearted old man, he naturally had ways to vent his anger and regain his lost power.
In short, until he received permission and official appointment from the Daimyo, there was still a chance for everything!
Except for Danzo, most of the other Konoha ninjas generally remained watchful regarding the news of Orochimaru's success as the Fifth Hokage, while a small portion of ordinary ninjas were more positive.
After all, everyone knew that Orochimaru was also an ordinary person, and he had no bloodline limits or secret techniques. He had only advanced step by step through his own talent and hard work.
Therefore, Orochimaru undoubtedly valued talent and results more than bloodlines and status.
As long as your performance was good enough, you could easily be promoted.
This made some civilian ninjas full of expectations for the future.
Even though Orochimaru always appeared gloomy and cold, what difference did it make?
Most ninjas did not stare at Orochimaru every day.
What everyone needed was a new strong Hokage who was capable of protecting the village, allowing the community to live and work peacefully and contentedly, and enabling ninjas to showcase their talents!
Rather than a happy and fortunate Hokage, useless and flattering both internally and externally!
As for the various ninja clans in Konoha, Orochimaru's succession was not the best option, but it was also not too bad.
It was barely within an acceptable range.
No matter how cruel Orochimaru was, could he be as cruel as Hiruzen and Danzo?
The Uchiha clan was very large; they would be lost if they said no. Could other ninjas not be afraid?
If it were Orochimaru, such a valuable bloodline would not be able to eat and drink well, for fear that the Uchiha clan's bloodline would be damaged.
The same went for other ninja clans; as long as they had a little skill, there was no need to worry too much about the continuation of the clan.
Moreover, Orochimaru was not someone who liked to play with women; no matter how fierce he was, he couldn't create a family in a short time, just like Minato back then.
A civilian ninja was not a threat compared to ninjas from wealthy clans.
This was not a target but rather a silent agreement reached by each ninja clan.
Hiruzen and the rapidly growing Sarutobi clan had clearly experienced this reversal of scale, causing their level of support to decline rapidly over the years.
Unfortunately, Hiruzen did not have the absolute power of the First and Second Hokage. Even if he did not die today, it was only a matter of time before he abdicated in favor of someone worthy.
If he did not want to be a good person, there would always be someone to help him become a good person!
After today's battle, Hiruzen himself realized this situation and then firmly and completely surrendered to Orochimaru.
No matter what, it was just the anticipation and hope of the entire village for a new Hokage.
What would the final outcome be? Could Orochimaru lead Konoha to a strong revival?
Could they make the pie bigger and share the profits with everyone?
That was what everyone cared about the most.
It was also the key to whether Orochimaru could secure his position as Hokage!
All the Konoha ninjas dispersed.
The attack had just ended, and there were still many things to resolve.
However, compared to the previous anxiety, knowing that this attack was actually just a game, the Konoha ninjas at least felt a little more confident.
Initially, because of this attack, the Third Hokage was killed in battle, the Fifth Hokage was left in an unbalanced state, and the village had been in a negative and panicked atmosphere for a long time.
Konoha did not even dare to ask for more compensation from Sunagakure.
"Anko."
"Sensei, I'm here!" Anko puffed out her chest and said earnestly.
"You and Kakashi, go and retrieve Sasuke as soon as possible!"
Orochimaru ordered quickly.
Although Tobirama had previously promised that there would be no issues with the Bijuu, Orochimaru was still very concerned about Sasuke.
That was the key to him surpassing Itachi in the future! They couldn't die here in a daze.
To be honest, Orochimaru didn't even know what Hiruzen was thinking. The important jinchūriki, Naruto and Sasuke, didn't send some more elite ANBU to protect them at all times?
And even let them hunt the enemy village's jinchūriki?
This was truly a big heart!
If Naruto hadn't defeated Gaara with his circle of light, Team 7 would have been annihilated by Gaara.
Wasn't that old man doing it on purpose? Did he hope that these two troublemakers would die at the hands of enemy village ninjas?
Could he still vent Itachi's anger against Sunagakure?
That old man wouldn't be that cruel, would he?
Orochimaru was slightly uncertain, but he was not ready to dig deeper.
After all, he had successfully occupied the position of Hokage, and Naruto and Sasuke were already on his plate; it was no longer the old man's turn to influence them.
"Hah? Oh! I will leave right away!"
Anko still wanted to show off her strength for a while, but she complied with the order and set off.
Kakashi also pulled Guy and hurriedly left.
His fear of Orochimaru did not dissipate for a while.
However, he didn't mind if Orochimaru successfully became Hokage. No matter who inherited it, it would be much better than the rotten Third Hokage still sitting there.
"Kabuto."
"Orochimaru-sama, I'm here!"
Kabuto waited very professionally.
Starting today, he had to work harder. Otherwise, he was likely to be replaced by a group of Konoha elites, something he would never allow!
"Take Kidomaru and the others back to Otogakure and move all the equipment and data there."
"Then Otogakure…"
"No more needed, understood?"
"Understood!"
After taking over one of the five great villages in the ninja world, there was no need to further develop the small village that was originally established by oneself.
It was better to acquire and merge.
Not only could it relieve some burden, but it could also provide a boost in both directions.
❀❀❀
After Kabuto led the four Otogakure ninjas away.
Only Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya remained.
They looked at each other. An awkward silence occurred for a moment.
