Chapter 156 The Fourth Hokage Election

"What is Danzo going to do with his arm?"

Che remembered that one of Danzo's hands was bandaged.

"To transplant Hashirama cells."

Orochimaru made no secret of Danzo's purpose.

Che's eyes flickered slightly, and he murmured, "Hashirama cells..."

"This is the research you and Danzo are doing together, right?"

I remember that when Danzo first recruited Che, Orochimaru mentioned the so-called cooperative research at the Root Organization Base.

"That's right." Orochimaru had a half-smile on his face.

Che nodded slightly and asked again, "What is Danzo doing in the Rain Country?"

"I don't know, it is said that he is cooperating with Hanzo."

Orochimaru shrugged.

So Che stopped asking any more questions, and he didn't care much about Danzo.

Orochimaru said playfully, "Danzo should be returning to the village soon. One of the terms of the deal I made with him is that he will nominate me to be the Hokage when the Third Hokage resigns."

After that, Orochimaru paused for a moment, looked at Che and asked, "Che-kun, do you think I can be the Fourth Hokage?"

"Excuse me... No."

Che said his opinion lightly.

"Is that so." Orochimaru nodded calmly and said nothing more.

It seems that Orochimaru does not care about the position of Hokage, and does not seem to react to Che's answer.

But Che felt the emotional fluctuations of Orochimaru, and observed the loss hidden in Orochimaru's eyes with his six eyes.

In Che's view, Orochimaru is not indifferent to the position of Hokage, nor does he care about the position of Hokage.

Orochimaru knows that there is competition from Minato Namikaze, and he basically has no hope of becoming Hokage.

But Orochimaru still wants to try, after all, Orochimaru is the disciple of the Third Hokage.

Orochimaru has always had a special feeling for his master, because Orochimaru is the most beloved disciple of the Third Hokage.

Orochimaru continued to explain other research in his research institute, as if the question just now was not asked by him.

The two talked in the research institute for a long time before Che left.

It was dinner time, and Che was going to go back to Xihi's house for dinner.

"Hong, I'm back."

Che rang the doorbell while shouting.

However, Che felt the breath of three people in the house. In addition to Xihi Hong and Xihi Zhenhong, there was another person.

Hong came to the door and opened the door for Che.

"Che, Uncle Fugaku is here."

"I know."

Che calmly touched Hong's head.

"Don't touch my head, it won't grow taller."

Hong pouted her little mouth and said coquettishly with a sullen look on her face.

Che chuckled twice, entered the entrance hall to change shoes, and walked into the house.

"Uncle Zhenhong, captain."

Che saw Xihi Zhenhong and Uchiha Fugaku sitting on the sofa and talking.

"Well, I'm back." Yuhi Shinku looked at Che with a kind and gentle look like an old father.

Fugaku mentioned what his beloved son told him today, "Che, Itachi said that you took him to sign the summoning contract of Yatagarasu and told him the meaning of life."

"Yes, Itachi happened to be seen by my summoning beast Yatagarasu." Che nodded and came to sit next to the two.

Yuhi Shinku looked at the two people next to him, then stood up and said, "Fugaku, you also stay tonight to eat, I'll be the chef."

Before Fugaku could say anything, Yuhi Shinku called Hong to help.

Fugaku seemed to realize Yuhi Shinku's intention, so he didn't refuse.

"Che, do you know that the third generation is going to resign?"

"I've heard about it." Che nodded.

"So, what do you think about the election of the fourth generation Hokage?" Fugaku asked again.

"Thoughts? I don't actually know about the election of the fourth generation Hokage." Che was asked this question for the second time today.

"Among the candidates now, there are Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru. Of course, some people choose me, but most of them are from our clan." Fugaku briefly explained the current situation.

Che nodded and said, "So no matter who is elected, the situation of Uchiha will be better than it is now, right?"

Fugaku showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then turned into a smile.

"Yes, you are right."

Fugaku stroked his eyes and sighed, "I didn't expect that I couldn't see it as clearly as you."

Fugaku's implication was that his Mangekyō ability could predict the future, but he couldn't see it more clearly than Che.

However, Fugaku had long been accustomed to Che's sharpness and intelligence, so he accepted it calmly.

A few days later, the Third Hokage officially resigned. At the same time, the Third Hokage and other Konoha high-level officials held a high-level meeting and began to nominate candidates for the next Hokage.

Meeting room.

"Let's start the nominations. Konoha can't live without a Hokage for a day. After nominating the candidates, we still need the appointment of the Daimyo and the vote of the Jonin Council."

"So, let's solve it as soon as possible."

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was a little low and serious. After all, he just resigned at the meeting and his current identity is the former Hokage of Konoha Village.

"Orochimaru is good." Danzo held his hands in front of him, his eyes were quite sharp.

In addition to the reasons for cooperation, Orochimaru's personality is more in line with the taste of hawkish leaders like Danzo, although Orochimaru occasionally contradicts Danzo.

However, even if Orochimaru is proposed as a candidate, it does not mean that Danzo himself does not desire the position of Hokage.

This is also the reason why Danzo showed a sharp look.

Danzo still covets the position of Hokage. When the second generation Hokage chose the next Hokage, Danzo thought that he just lost because of his slow reaction.

Now that Sarutobi Hiruzen has abdicated, his disciple Orochimaru is one of the most reasonable choices.

But Danzo knows that Orochimaru is obsessed with research and is not interested in political power.

At that time, Danzo will have the opportunity to touch the throne of Hokage.

Of course, this is Danzo's wishful thinking.

"No, Orochimaru is my apprentice, I know him best, he is cold and ambitious, he has no will of fire in his heart, and he can't take on the responsibility of Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen denied his favorite disciple with one sentence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was not relaxed, because he had high hopes for Orochimaru since he was a child.

Orochimaru possesses five attributes of chakra and has a high talent for ninjutsu. He should have inherited the position of Hokage according to the path set by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru became more and more crooked after his parents died on the battlefield. Now he has become a gloomy person who hides in the research institute all day to conduct some incomprehensible research.

For a traditional ninja like Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru is obviously not the right successor he thinks.

Danzo lowered his head when he heard this, and his dark hair blocked his eyes.

"What about Jiraiya?" Mito Kado En recommended.

"Jiraiya is not suitable either. He is too free and undisciplined and not suitable to be Hokage." Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected it again.

"What about Tsunade?" Utatane Koharu, who is also a woman, recommended.

"Tsunade has not recovered from the psychological trauma after the last Ninja World War, so she cannot be Hokage." Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected it again.

"If there is no other suitable candidate, let me nominate one."

"Namikaze Minato."
