In just a few days, the situation in Konoha Village has become serious. Almost everyone is discussing things about the third generation, and rumors are flying everywhere.
If there were just one or two ordinary people today, this matter would not have a particularly big impact, because the vast majority of the people would choose to believe in the third generation, because the image that the third generation has always presented is too bright and majestic.
But when everyone starts talking, things get complicated.
The more the matter spread, the more everyone believed it. Later, even if there was a partial explanation, people began to question the behavior of the third generation. For a while, the credibility of the top management of Konoha Village was seriously declining.
Many big families in Konoha Village, such as the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan, have also started family meetings one after another.
After all, it is time to take sides. Everyone knows that if you want to support the third generation, you must support it very firmly at this time. In this way, if the third generation continues to become Hokage, they will benefit.
If there is no support for the third generation and the third generation continues to stay, then the problem will be very serious.
In fact, there is no other person in this team now. It is not that they want to support a certain person to become the new generation of Hokage, but they need to judge whether they should support the third generation to continue to be Hokage.
If the third generation is still the Hokage, then these families who have not supported the third generation will definitely not receive special attention from Konoha Village in the new era.
Almost every family is having similar discussions, and all families are very cautious and do not announce their ideas to the public at the first time.
This situation lasted for about three days.
Three days later something suddenly happened.
That was Orochimaru, the disciple of the Third Generation. He took the initiative to stand up and appeared above the Hokage Rock, just stepping on the head of the Third Generation.
Many people from Konoha Village gathered below.
These people have been notified in advance and understand that Orochimaru is going to announce something very important to everyone here.
The ninjas from Konoha Village also arrived at the scene.
This matter was notified secretly and was not informed to the third generation. It was not until the moment it happened that the third generation saw the scene outside from the rooftop of the Hokage's office. His face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were fixed on Orochimaru's face. His hands were clenched into fists, not knowing what Orochimaru was going to do now.
It has to be said that Orochimaru has always been his favorite disciple, but Orochimaru has also always been a disciple that he could not guess.
He had never sensed Orochimaru's thoughts from beginning to end.
Now that he saw Orochimaru standing above the Hokage Rock, he was even more unclear about whether it was right or wrong to refuse to let Orochimaru become Hokage.
Could it be that the matter can only be settled if the position of Hokage is given to Orochimaru
But.
Now he was not given any chance to bargain.
Isn't this important
There were little question marks in the third generation's head. He felt that if Orochimaru still wanted to become Hokage, then he should negotiate with him again before holding this party.
You can't just decide the future course just by meeting one time before.
That would be too hasty.
Not to the point.
Sandai's mood is very complicated now. In fact, during this period of time when he calmed down, he thought about who would be handed the position of Hokage if he really couldn't continue to be Hokage.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he was unwilling to hand over the position of Hokage to Orochimaru.
He really felt that Orochimaru was not suitable to be Hokage. If Orochimaru became Hokage, the village might become even more chaotic.
It is precisely because of this that after rejecting Orochimaru, he did not discuss similar related matters with Orochimaru.
The current third generation is just trying to keep the position of Hokage. Of course, if he cannot keep the position of Hokage, he hopes that the person who will succeed the position of Hokage is Namikaze Minato.
The reason is very simple.
First of all, he grew up watching this wave of Feng Shuimen. He knew that this person was kind-hearted and could be qualified for the position of Hokage. He would not lead the Konoha Village astray because he became Hokage.
Another point is that he can see that Minato Namikaze is a person who is relatively easy to control. He can place many of his cronies around Minato Namikaze and express his own opinions when making some decisions, even if he is not the Hokage. But he can still influence the village in other ways and hold substantial power.
These two points are something Orochimaru can't give, and Danzo can't give them either.
He knew very well that once Orochimaru became Hokage, he would not have any say at all, and everything would only depend on Orochimaru's thoughts. After all, Orochimaru would never follow other people's suggestions easily.
Similarly, if Danzo becomes Hokage, then maybe he will turn behind the scenes and become a role similar to Danzo's roots, but he will never have too much real power, and he will never stand on the stage again.
In other words, if these two people become Hokage, he will never have the chance to become Hokage again, but if Minato Namikaze becomes Hokage, then one day in the future, he may be able to make a comeback and become Hokage again.
Now that things have developed to this extent, the third generation has to think about the future, because he finds that he has no hope of continuing to hold the position of Hokage based on his own ability.
Maybe this is fate.
It's time for a period of change.
Of course, at this time, Sandai has heard some rumors outside, but he doesn't particularly care, because he feels that these things are not completely impossible to wash away. As long as he is given a chance to speak, he can still clear everything up. Pushed onto Danzo.
What worries him most now is that he doesn't know what the Master King is going to say. A large number of people have gathered at the scene. Almost everyone in the Leaf Village is already here. Each of their eyes is very curious. They all focused on Orochimaru, waiting for what the latter was about to say.
On top of the Hokage Rock.
Aoyu stood on top of the three majors. He used his Divine Paper User technique to disguise himself as Orochimaru. Even if he appeared in everyone's sight, he would not be seen through.
This disguise has no shortcomings, that is, it will be extremely difficult to meet the real owner.
Therefore, the role played by Qingyu has always been the role of confirmed death.
In this way, there will be no awkward scene after two people meet, and then all the previous efforts will be in vain.
Now that Orochimaru is dead, there will be no danger for him to use Orochimaru's identity, and Orochimaru's identity is very worth using.
"It's almost time."
Qingyu whispered softly using Orochimaru's tone. Although his tone was very soft, it could still be clearly transmitted to the scene. Everyone's ears were like there was a loudspeaker, and everyone was listening to him. of whispers.
In an instant, everyone was calm, and almost everyone's thoughts were extremely tense. They all stared at Orochimaru closely, waiting for his next words.
Now the people in Konoha Village already have a greedy heart. After experiencing the ninja war, they all want something to vent their inner boredom.
Recent events have put their hearts in a very active state, and they are waiting for all kinds of news to appear every day. Their favorite place to go is to go to various restaurants to discuss with good friends and listen to some news. Listening to other people's discussions, even the neighbors have come out to talk about these things.
It is precisely because of these public opinions that the originally depressed mood of the entire Konoha Village has become lively. It has reunited the Konoha Village to a certain extent and made the popularity of the entire village even more active. many.
They didn't know what Orochimaru would say, but they had a vague feeling that Orochimaru might tell a very important revelation.
After all, all current public opinions are related to Danzo and the Third Generation, and Orochimaru is the Third Generation's disciple, so what he is about to say must be related to the Third Generation, otherwise there is no need to gather everyone in such a solemn manner. Together.
Whether it's what the Fun Third Generation explains, or something more about the Third Generation, it's enough to make everyone's curiosity reach an unprecedented level.
"I called you here today because I have something to say to you."
Orochimaru's voice sounded slowly. Now every word he said was enough to attract everyone's attention. Even the third generation standing on the rooftop of the Hokage's office followed suit. When he became nervous, he was also expecting in his heart, was it Orochimaru? Maru can help him refute some rumors.
"Not long ago, there was a missing person case in Konoha Village. I was responsible for that case."
He said that Zhou Ran wanted to convey the painting clearly to everyone's ears.
It can be said to be the opening lightning strike!
He directly said something that shocked everyone!
"Ouch!"
Everyone at the scene was talking about it. Almost everyone was whispering to each other. They were discussing these things, and everyone's eyes were filled with surprise.
According to the information they learned, this case was done by Danzo, because it was mentioned in the snow-like message before.
Now Orochimaru stands up and takes this matter on his own head. What is his purpose
Almost everyone has a special idea in their mind.
Did Orochimaru get some instructions to take the blame
What exactly is going on
More question marks popped up in the heads of the people at the scene. Their eyes were fixed on Orochimaru, wishing that I had spoken faster so that they could know more clearly where things were going.
"Huh..."
The third generation stood on the stage, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it, trying to calm down his emotions.
His hanging heart had already dropped halfway.
Sure enough, Orochimaru didn't trap him.
Maybe this is a certificate of submission.
After all, everyone is now thinking about the team's problem, whether to stand on the third generation's side or not on his side.
"This case is mainly to study whether ordinary people can implant Senju Hashirama's cells and then become ninjas who can use Wood Release."
His voice sounded again after he finished speaking, instantly making the scene quiet. Almost everyone already knew the purpose of this case, because they all knew it clearly in these messages.
Now they are even more curious about what purpose Orochimaru has
Why do you stand up and say these things
What are the plans now
With such doubts, everyone still stared at Orochimaru.
"This matter was jointly planned by me, the Third Hokage, and Danzo-sama. Now the crew in the field said that it was the two of them who did it and took me out. I think this is unreasonable because the main person responsible I am the one who arrests people and conducts experimental research. Danzo-sama only comes regularly to inquire about the results and progress of the experiments. The Third Hokage is just helping us cover up. I should bear the main responsibility for the missing persons case in Konoha Village. responsibility!"
As soon as Orochimaru said these words, everyone at the scene was confused, even the third generation was confused. They had no idea whether Orochimaru's purpose in saying these words was to help the third generation or to destroy the third generation.
There is almost no position that can be heard from these words.
It's like explaining this matter very fairly and fairly.
"I am standing here to say this not to defend or excuse anyone, but to restore the truth of the matter!"
The corners of Qingyu's mouth curled up slightly. He started with the missing persons case in Konoha Village because this matter was real and not fictitious, so no one could find any fault with it.
The more real something is, the easier it is for people to believe it.
This is Qingyu's usual approach.
Now he has used such a true story to end the meeting, and then when he says some controversial things, because he has repeatedly told the real things before and said that he is restoring the truth, everyone will choose to believe him. .
This was his real purpose for starting this meeting.
"This Orochimaru!"
The third generation stood on the rooftop of the Hokage's office. He stared coldly at Orochimaru who was standing above the blind eye, and he no longer knew what to say.
All kinds of dissatisfaction surged in my heart.
What does this mean
Are you here to speak for him? Why did he feel that the description was getting darker and darker? After Orochimaru's explanation, he felt that although there was nothing light on his body, it was as if he had been hammered, turning what was originally a message into the truth.
In this way…
Even if he wants to clear himself, it will be very difficult.
"hateful."
The third generation stared at Orochimaru coldly. Now he wanted to grab Orochimaru directly, but at this time he could not interrupt Orochimaru, otherwise he would make everything true.
