Chapter 193 Sarutobi Hiruzen Is Defeated

No. 1 was completely defeated

"Is this rice?"

"This looks like a red fruit!"

"And here, what is this? I can't recognize it!"

"Didn't you notice that these plants are all planted in water!"

That's right, this research institute studies nothing else but various plants, food crops, and vegetables!

"How did you find time to come here?" Orochimaru stood in the middle of the hall. He was wearing a white coat and a pair of glasses. The cold temperament on his body had completely disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable gentleness.

"Lord Orochimaru, what are you doing?" Mikoto pointed to the plants around and asked curiously.

"As you can see, I'm studying food crops and vegetables!" Orochimaru said lightly.

"Why did you think of studying these?" Hinata Hiashi asked curiously.

"Yes, yes!" The others nodded. It is said that Orochimaru is most interested in forbidden techniques. Why is he not studying ninjutsu now and switching to farming?

"Why?" Orochimaru looked up at the sky with a gloomy look, and then said: "This is a long story, but I don't know if you are willing to listen?"

"I don't want to listen!" Sarutobi Hiruzen roared in his heart, but he couldn't speak.

It's not that someone blocked his mouth, but that food is the first necessity of the people.

Researching food is even more correct than the will of fire!

"Of course we are willing to listen!" Someone has already spoken, it's the patriarch of the Nara clan.

In addition to raising deer, the Nara clan also grows herbs, and also does some cultivation and breeding work.

So he can understand part of Orochimaru's research.

He found that Orochimaru's research was not to make plants poisonous or reduce production, but to increase production, and it seemed that he was also studying ways to plant without land.

This kind of research made Nara feel like he had met a colleague, and naturally his favorability doubled.

Others nodded one after another, even if it was not for food, just because the three ninjas wanted to tell stories, just say whether you want to listen or not!

Orochimaru nodded and said, "During the Second Ninja World War, I was awarded the title of Sannin, but I don't like this title at all!"

"It's not because this title was given to us by a victor, but because this title represents war and killing!" Orochimaru sighed, "I hate war and I don't like killing!"

The clan leaders nodded one after another. It didn't matter what they thought in their hearts. Anyway, Orochimaru spoke, so just listen.

"Then I started thinking, why did they start a war? It's obviously a small country!" Orochimaru pointed to the rice in a pond next to him: "I asked a ninja from the Rain Country, and got an answer!"

"Hungry, hungry!"

"I wonder if anyone here has tasted the taste of hunger?" Orochimaru asked.

Someone actually raised his hand, it was Might Guy.

Orochimaru curled his lips: "Tell me about it!"

"It's just that I feel very empty and painful. My whole stomach is like a hole that is craving for something, and the muscles all over my body seem to be telling myself that I am very empty and I need nutrition." Might Guy's writing skills are not good, but he described it very vividly.

"Can you bear this feeling?" Orochimaru asked again.

"I can't bear it!" Might Guy thought about it, then shook his head: "I'm so hungry that I even want to eat tree bark. Even with a firm will, I can't bear hunger!"

Ninjas are people who can endure everything, but this does not include hunger.

When Naruto is very hungry, he will eat expired instant noodles and drink expired milk.

Ninjas will carry military ration pills with them.

Iwagakure, which claims to have the will of stone and is harder than a rock, was directly defeated when its supply line was cut.

Orochimaru nodded: "Yes, hunger is a very difficult feeling to bear, and this feeling is experienced by the people of the Rain Country every day."

"Finally one day, they couldn't bear it anymore, so the war began!"

The reason for the launch of World War II was indeed that Hanzo wanted to seek the interests of a great power, but it was not enough to rely on his personal ambition to make the people of an entire country follow him to fight.

Orochimaru continued: "Later, the war ended, but I know that as long as this feeling still exists, as long as there are still people who are hungry, the war will start again sooner or later!"

"So, you study these to eliminate war?" Mikoto asked.

It has changed from you to you!

"More than that!" Orochimaru shook his head: "Over the years, I have not only visited various countries, but also walked through various cities and villages in the Land of Fire!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly remembered that Orochimaru did spend a lot of time outside, saying that he was looking for scientific research inspiration.

So this is what you are looking for?

The story of Orochimaru continues.

"I thought that the Rain Country, which started the war, suffered from hunger, but the rich Fire Country should not, but that's not the case!"

"In every town, every village, even in the most prosperous Kyoto, there are people who starve to death because of lack of food." As he said, Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Including our Konoha, there is also such a situation!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care. How can there be no starvation in this world? Isn't this normal?

"Then, I came up with the idea of ​​solving this problem!" Orochimaru's words finally came to an end: "And the solution to this problem is to increase the output of a single piece of land!"

"Five years ago, the most fertile land in the Land of Fire produced only 400 kilograms of grain. If we can double this number, wouldn't those who would starve to death be able to survive?"

At this point, someone's voice began to tremble.

Might Guy should not have the right to speak here, but he still spoke, and asked in a trembling voice: "Then, did you succeed?"

"Of course I succeeded!" It was not Orochimaru who answered Might Guy, but another boy.

Shiranui Genma!

"Our teacher developed a rice that can produce 800 kilograms per mu three years ago. The year before last, this number increased to 1,200 kilograms. Last year, it was 1,600 kilograms. This year, it has reached 2,000 kilograms!"

"Is there such a thing?" Sarutobi Hiruzen widened his eyes: "2,000 kilograms per mu, this is impossible!"

"Hokage-sama, you will know this if you go out and take a look. This kind of good variety has already been spread in the Land of Fire!"

"I think I can testify!" Uchiha Mikoto raised her hand cautiously: "I did see that kind of densely packed, full-grained rice in the fields. The village chief also said that their land can produce 2,000 kilograms of grain per mu."

"Ah, this." Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless.

"And, haven't you noticed?" Uchiha Mikoto said again: "The price of grain in our Konoha has been falling in the past three years!"

"It seems to be like this!" Many clan leaders have never left the village in their lives, and they really don't know whether there is high-yield grain outside.

But they are responsible for the food, drink, defecation and urination of the clan members. They really know about the price of grain!

"I" Sarutobi Hiruzen's head was dizzy. He also knew about this!

But he thought it was because he managed it well, so Konoha had too much food to eat and had to reduce the price. It turned out to be the credit of his apprentice?

"Lord Orochimaru!" Might Guy shouted: "You are simply the living Yuzhongjin!"

"Yes!" The head of the Nara clan also nodded: "It is such a huge improvement to increase the grain yield from 400 catties per mu to 2,000 catties. Even Yuzhongjin back then did not have such power!"

The praise of the two was not exaggerated at all. The output increased fivefold. How many more people can it feed?

This achievement is really greater than Yuzhongjin. If this matter is publicized, the Inari God of the Ninja World in the future may not be Yuzhongjin. Maybe it will really be replaced by Orochimaru!

Moreover, Orochimaru's achievements are not limited to the Land of Fire. Even the Land of Wind, Land of Earth, Land of Lightning, and Land of Water have to thank Orochimaru. No matter which country he goes to, he is a guest of honor in that country!

Even the Raikage and the Tsuchikage dare not have the slightest idea of ​​murdering him, otherwise they will really be stabbed in the back by the people of the whole country!

Whoever does this will even be infamous for thousands of years!

"We have not only studied high-yield rice, but also wheat, and many fruits and vegetables, such as this red fruit. It was poisonous at first, but after several years of research, not only the toxicity was completely eliminated, but the yield and size were also much larger. We are going to promote this new variety this year!"

"And this one, called potato, the yield is even more exaggerated, more than 4,000 kilograms per mu, and it is not picky about the land, it can be planted on all kinds of terrains, we are going to promote it to the Land of Sand and the Land of Earth."

Everyone was excited, only Sarutobi Hiruzen, his face was red with anger.

He slammed the cabinet containing vegetables, thinking that the transparent cabinet would crack, but it actually held up!

But this muffled sound still attracted everyone's attention.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru with hatred and said sternly: "Orochimaru, didn't I ask you to study Wood Release? Why did you study plants?"

You didn't study Wood Release, but instead studied food, and you studied it so well!

Do you want to be a saint?

With such a high reputation, how can I black you?

"Wood Release?" Orochimaru smiled slightly and pointed at the food and vegetables around him: "Aren't these all?"

"Huh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned: "These are all Wood Release products?"

Orochimaru shook his head: "Of course not, but they are good wood!"

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was shaking with anger, Orochimaru curled his lips: "In my opinion, high-yield food and vegetables are a thousand times, ten thousand times more important than a Wood Release!"

The clan leaders nodded one after another. This third generation is really bad. They even studied Wood Release!

Who wants a first generation standing above them!

On the contrary, food is a good thing!

Except for the Uchiha clan, other ninja clans have their own land to a certain extent. If the food production increases, it means that their income will increase!

Not to mention fruits and vegetables. Although ninjas don’t care about their appetite, who wouldn’t be happy to eat better!

Seeing that all ninja clans, even civilian ninjas, were conquered by Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally couldn’t help it.

He knew that the investigation by the economic investigation department would only take one or two days, and his position as Hokage would definitely be unstable by then.

What would be the result of his reputation plummeting while Orochimaru’s reputation soaring?

Naturally, Orochimaru would become Hokage!

This is definitely not the result he wanted!

From the fact that he was asked to study Wood Release but he was studying food, it can be seen that Orochimaru is a person who cannot be controlled at all!

And Orochimaru is not alone. It seems that he only has three disciples now, but as long as he calls out, his subordinates can quickly return to their hearts.

Five of our own people in the Task Management Office have been arrested. Now we haven't had time to replace our own people. They will definitely be replaced by Orochimaru.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke is dead. Although the current Anbu Minister is one of our own, he doesn't have the strength.

Orochimaru will definitely replace this person.

The Root may not be saved.

Interrogation Department? Intelligence Department?

The one who is loyal to Ino-Shika-Chou is the Hokage, not Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Once Orochimaru takes the position, they will definitely turn against him!

The Medical Department cannot be saved either. Tsunade and Orochimaru are companions. If Tsunade can't be called back by himself, can Orochimaru call her back?

Even if Tsunade is really dead, isn't there still a

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly saw Ning Yuan standing next to the devil and picking cucumbers.

This kid is a rare medical ninjutsu genius in a thousand years. Why have I ignored him all these years!

He is also a disciple of Lake Biwa. It's natural to replace him!

After calculating all these departments, Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked to find that when Orochimaru came to power, he would inevitably lose the position of Hokage and the control of Konoha's power!

Now it seems that it is impossible not to perish together. He must be more decisive, even if he sacrifices himself, to prevent Orochimaru from coming to power.

At most, he will pay some benefits and let Mito Kadokawa become Hokage!

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly planned what to do after he stepped down. Even if there will be losses, he must minimize the losses.

Mito is not a big family, and there are no talents in the family. If he wants to keep his position, he must cooperate with him. At least he can have some of his own people in the Anbu, and the Root can belong to him completely.

Sarutobi Biwako, as his wife, is afraid that she will not be able to sit in the position of Minister of Medical Affairs and Director of Konoha Hospital.

However, Ning Yuan can be promoted. As a branch of Hyuga, he is naturally impossible to be loyal to Hokage. If he does not want to be controlled by the main family, he must cooperate with him.

Moreover, Ning Yuan and Tsunade have also communicated. When the time comes, they will spread the word that Ning Yuan has also learned from Tsunade and is Tsunade's disciple.

Then Tsunade still has the nerve to grab Ning Yuan's position?

A part of the Anbu, the entire Root, and the medical department are almost enough!

Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief. The situation is not too bad.

In this case

"Orochimaru, I have something to ask you!" Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke.

Orochimaru nodded: "Teacher, please ask!"

"Since Elder Danzo disappeared, Danzo's Root has been taken over by me!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "And I found some interesting things in the Root's files!"

"From the 42nd year of Konoha to the 44th year, you took away 6,000 adults and 3,000 children from Danzo in three years, and in the name of studying Wood Release!"

"Excuse me, where did these people go?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen firmly believes that it is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change one's nature!

Did Orochimaru really change his career to study food and give up Wood Release?

Researching food is true, but giving up Wood Release is not necessarily true.

How can I believe that a person who has been passionate about forbidden ninjutsu since childhood has changed his dream after experiencing a war!

He looked at Orochimaru steadily. It would be useless for Orochimaru to quibble, as Sarutobi Nobu is already on his way.

And those documents have Orochimaru's signature, don't even think about denying it!

The heads of the major ninja clans, 40 senior ninjas from the Anbu, 40 armed ninja police from the security team, and six newly graduated Genin, all looked at Orochimaru, waiting for his answer.

Orochimaru's expression did not change, and he was still as calm as usual: "Nine thousand people, it is true!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up, and then frowned instantly. How could he admit it, how dare he admit it?

"Where are these nine thousand people?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked sternly, "Did they die in the research of Wood Release? Did you change your career and start researching food because the research of Wood Release was not going well?"

"Alas!" Orochimaru shook his head, "Teacher, in your heart, am I a person who will do anything to study forbidden techniques?"

"Or do you think I am such a person because you have done this before?"

"Don't talk about irrelevant things!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said sternly, "Where are these people!"

"Mingchuan Town, Xinyuan Town, Anning Town, Anping Town" Orochimaru shook his head and casually named a dozen villages.

"What are these?" Sarutobi Hiruzen blinked, not knowing why.

"This is where these people are settled!" Orochimaru smiled and said, "Since I didn't do the Wood Release experiment, how could they die? I just moved them out of Konoha!"

"Is there such a thing?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned. He really didn't study Wood Release?

This kind of thing is easy to verify. Just send someone to ask and you will know, so Sarutobi Hiruzen tends to believe that Orochimaru did not lie.

But

"Why are you doing this!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said sternly: "You are transferring the population of my Konoha Village, you are weakening the strength of my Konoha Village, your behavior is not a spy, but better than a spy!"

Orochimaru sighed, and a Rise responded.

"I have no choice!"

"I don't want to study Wood Release, but the village forced me too much. I refused on the grounds that the mortality rate of studying Wood Release would be very high, but Elder Danzo didn't care at all, and kept sending people here. I thought the disappearance of so many people would be discovered by the village, but this matter lasted for a month, and no one investigated!"

"At that time, I understood that this matter could not be promoted by Danzo alone. There must be another powerful person involved!"

Everyone present is smart. Do you need to ask who this person is talking about?

"I believe everyone knows the relationship between that person and me!" Orochimaru slowly closed his eyes, and a tear rolled down: "The teacher's kindness is as heavy as a mountain. I cannot disobey his orders, but using human lives to study forbidden techniques violates my morality as a human being."

"I cherish life so much, how can I use other people's lives as a stepping stone on my road to success!"

"On one side is the teacher's kindness, and on the other side is the people." Mikoto took out a piece of paper from somewhere and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Lord Orochimaru, you did nothing wrong!"

"This is the best way, no one will blame you!"

"Yeah!" The other clan leaders nodded one after another. If they were Orochimaru, they would not be able to think of a better way!

Moreover, Konoha had just won the Second World War at that time, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was as powerful as a mountain. Even if Orochimaru stood up to report it, it would be useless.

"I hope you can understand me!" Orochimaru wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen, fell heavily on his knees, and kowtowed: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I can't do it!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also had tears in his eyes, tremblingly helped Orochimaru up, and then took Orochimaru heavily into his arms.

"It's not your fault, it's me who didn't consider your feelings!" Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed inexplicably in his heart: "Orochimaru, you won, when did you start planning this?"

"Teacher, I don't understand what you are talking about?" Orochimaru still had a pure and simple expression.

Sarutobi Hiruzen only felt a chill in his heart: "This expression doesn't suit you!"

"Really!" Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Then I'll think about it later"

Everyone was moved by the mutual understanding between the master and the apprentice, but only three people knew.

After this kneeling, the relationship between master and disciple has come to an end!

In this battle, Sarutobi Hiruzen was completely defeated!
