Time flies, and the time flies by.
One month has passed, and as the new year is approaching, the Fourth Hokage takeover ceremony is about to come to an end.
Of course, this process still requires village elections and Jōnin voting in the village, but it is basically just a formality. Orochimaru defeated all competitors including a certain Shimura Danzō with an absolute overwhelming advantage.
He has been operating in Konohagakure for many years, and he has been paying attention to publicity in public opinion since early on. Danzo has not thought of repeating White Fang's matter again, but with Hiruzen Sarutobi's pressure from above and Orochimaru's people's wishes below, he can no longer easily instigate public opinion.
If there is any Root ninja who still wants to sneak into the villagers, he will be taken to Security Force by a group of Uchiha who stared at Sharingan in the name of instigating unity in the village and being suspected of being a spy.
Next, before the arrival of the new year, he will go to the capital of Land of Fire and obtain the consent of Daimyo. Then when he returns, it will be the time for him to take over as Fourth Hokage.
There were no surprises in the interview with Daimyo.
Daimyo also knows that he is just going through the motions. Even though he usually makes some small moves, he does not make any trouble in such a big event. In order to show his support for Orochimaru, he also specially increased the funds for Konohagakure for the next year to use in the reconstruction work after the war.
Returning to Konohagakure, Orochimaru found that as the protagonist of this Hokage succession ceremony, he could actually do nothing.
All the work that needs to be done is done, and the rest is left to others to take care of.
Orochimaru was naturally happy and leisurely, and came home to continue his experiment.
The changes that have occurred in Space Gem have not yet been fully studied.
Some experimental supplies are not suitable for Tsunade to see, such as the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu information taken from Orochimaru in another world, or the human experiment data about First Hokage's Cells.
These things need to be transferred as soon as possible. Fortunately, I still have some sub-bases outside.
No matter what happens, you can also transfer it to Snake Shadow.
Being idle and bored, Orochimaru took out the Sky Sword inlaid with Space Gem and began to think about it.
Place the end of the sword hilt against your wrist, hold the sword hilt clockwise with your fingers, and slowly draw Sky Sword out of the scabbard.
A dazzling blue light appeared, and a thin crack appeared around the sword body inlaid with Space Gem. The crack also exuded wisps of blue light.
Injecting Chakra into it, the blue light on the sword becomes even brighter.
Orochimaru took out a Kunai and put it against the blade.
Smoother than a hot knife cutting butter, Sky Sword cut Kunai into two pieces without any resistance.
When the two pieces of Kunai are spliced together, no gap can be found. If it were not easy to separate them, judging from the appearance, this is a Kunai with excellent workmanship.
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, came to the laboratory, placed it under Electron Microscope and observed it carefully.
"This is simply... incredible! The gap cannot be observed at the microscopic level, but the gap does exist and manifest itself!"
This should be cut directly from the spatial level!
For this counterintuitive phenomenon, Orochimaru can only provide this explanation.
This means that Sky Sword's slashing attack can ignore all defenses!
In fact, this is just one of the features discovered by Orochimaru so far.
When Orochimaru held Sky Sword, he had a vague premonition.
If you activate the power in Space Gem, you can even sense the veins of space!
In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright.
On this day Konohagakure, colorful flags are flying everywhere.
On the rooftop of Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi and two consultants stood in the middle, followed by Tsunade and. Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, Fugaku Uchiha and Hyuga Hiashi are Jōnin or the head of the Ninja clan who have a certain status in the village.
Orochimaru was standing opposite them wearing a red and white imperial robe, while Hokage Building was surrounded by a dense crowd.
He could even see the admiration and admiration in Minato Namikaze's eyes, and the fanaticism in Shikun Mitarashi's eyes.
This is just below Hokage Rock.
This means that he will become the new Hokage under the witness of previous generations of Hokage.
Starting from tomorrow, his avatar will also appear on Hokage Rock.
"Fourth Generation, are you ready to shoulder the responsibility of the entire Konohagakure, and even the future of the entire Shinobi World!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also wearing a Hokage robe. He took off his Hokage bamboo hat from his head and handed it to Orochimaru.
"No excuses!"
A different kind of light flashed through Orochimaru's golden hole. He took the Hokage bamboo hat from Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand and put it on his head. Then he slowly walked to the railing and looked at the crowded crowd under the stage.
"From today on, I am Konoha's new Hokage, Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru lifted Hokage's bamboo hat, his long flowing hair fluttering in the wind, his cold and fair handsome face staring down. The clouds on the horizon dispersed, and a golden morning light fell on Orochimaru's face, making the golden boy's hole shine even brighter.
From the crowd below, there was a sudden roar of cheers.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped back slightly, leaving the stage to Orochimaru, and then looked at him with a smile on his face, thinking that he was so high-spirited and high-spirited when he took over Hokage.
Teacher Tobirama, I finally lived up to your expectations and found a better future for the village.
Tsunade stared blankly at Orochimaru wearing Hokage Robe, and for some reason thought of his grandfather.
Grandfather was like this back then, standing here wearing a Hokage robe with long hair flying?
Thinking of this, Tsunade couldn't help but stretched out a hand and covered his lower abdomen.
Will you... be like this in the future?
A breathtaking smile bloomed on Tsunade's face.
"Well, Minato, do you want to have a drink with us today to celebrate? After today, that guy Orochimaru will be busy."
Jiraiya put his arms around Minato Namikaze's neck, winking at his azure boy's hole that was full of envy but without a trace of jealousy and asked.
"Hey! Teacher Jiraiya, what are you planning? I won't allow you to lead Minato astray!"
Kushina pulled Minato back, put his hands on his hips, and looked at Jiraiya angrily.
As Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina also has a high status in the village.
"Eh? Don't worry! Jiraiya and Tsunade are here too! I won't mess around!"
"No, I have to go too!"
"But Kushina, weren't you just pregnant?"
"I don't care, I don't drink, I'm just supervising you!"
