"Hiruzen, Orochimaru has been mobilizing resources frequently in the past few years. What exactly do you want to do? How long has the war just passed now?"
Utatane Koharu said to Hiruzen Sarutobi worriedly, and Mitokado Homura beside him couldn't help but nod.
They have been influenced by First Hokage's concept of peace since they were young, and they are out-and-out appeasers among Konohagakure. When they were young, they could be said to be willing to sacrifice their lives and blood for Konohagakure. Although they are retired at home now, at least their loyalty to Konohagakure is beyond doubt.
But they are as old as Hiruzen Sarutobi, have lost the vigor of their youth, and are more weighing the pros and cons of doing things. Compared to ninjas, their high-level careers over the past many years have gradually transformed them into politicians who hope to exchange peace at the smallest cost.
After all, in their view, relying on war to win peace will cost lives. If peace can be obtained without war, that is the best choice.
It can only be said that the perspective of looking at things is different, and the understanding of the cost of treatment is also different, not to mention...
Whether peace is achieved through struggle or not, although both are peace, there is a huge difference!
Obviously, they don't know that there is a great man in another world who said:
If you seek peace through struggle, you will survive in peace; if you seek peace through compromise, you will perish in peace!
Hiruzen Sarutobi clicked his pipe and remained silent.
Over the years, he has not taken care of much, and has focused more on Konohagakure's education. In addition, although his eldest son became a disabled person at the beginning, he and his wife have now given birth to a baby boy, whom he named Konohamaru.
Compared with those years when he was working as Hokage, now he has no troubles and can entertain his grandchildren. As a Third Hokage, he has a high status and high welfare. He is also respected by the villagers when he goes out and his life is actually quite comfortable.
"In the past few years, you have all seen Orochimaru's ability to manage the village. It can even be said to be better than Teacher Tobirama back then. I believe that Orochimaru has his own reasons for this. So, I will take you to find Orochimaru."
Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the pipe in his hand.
To be honest, he was also a little worried that Orochimaru would start a war, but he still chose to believe in Orochimaru.
His most outstanding disciple has always had a very long-term vision. He believes that Orochimaru must have his own reasons for doing this.
Among Hokage's Office, Orochimaru were sitting in their own seats, typing on the keyboard in front of them.
These computers were all sold by the Trade Association, which was founded by Orochimaru by Snake Shadow. Some ninjas with sufficient status in Konohagakure knew that Trade Association had the shadow of Orochimaru behind it.
Of course, the products sold in the Trade Association do have their own uniqueness.
The electronic products that have gradually become popular in Land of Fire in recent years are the flagship products of the Trade Association. In addition, there are some experimental products leaked by Orochimaru that can be commercialized. For example, a fertilizer called Gold Dust Fertilizer can greatly increase the yield of crops and is sold well in several major countries.
As Hokage Assistant, Minato Namikaze is proficient in the use of office, excel and other office software. At this moment, he is carefully sorting out the data collected during this period and making statistics.
As for Orochimaru...
Fishing.
It can't be said to be a fish-out, because Orochimaru is working with J.A.R.V.I.S. to create the design of an arm of Mecha in the modeling software.
"Master Third Hokage!"
Anbu's greeting came from outside the door, and Hiruzen Sarutobi came with Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
Orochimaru raised his hand, and Anbu, who was guarding both sides of the door, pushed the door open consciously.
"Master Third Hokage?"
"Teacher Sarutobi, what are you doing today..."
Orochimaru frowned and glanced at Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura behind Hiruzen Sarutobi. Minato Namikaze, who was disturbed on the side, also raised his head curiously.
These two old guys themselves have not suppressed too much in recent years. Although their momentum is not as good as in the past when they were still in high-level positions, they have also made a lot of money by relying on some shops and other things they left behind when they were in office.
"Orochimaru, we old guys are just a little worried about your actions during this period. After all, you have mobilized so many resources over the years, but in the end their destination is unknown. It is easy for other big countries to think that Konohagakure is preparing armaments, causing them to overreact."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked a cigarette and smiled.
"Yes, it's not that we don't believe in Fourth Hokage's ability, it's just that Konohagakure has not yet fully recovered from the many years of ninja wars. Once war breaks out again, I'm afraid countless innocent lives will die again."
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at each other, and finally Mitokado Homura stood up and said to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru suddenly looked at Minato and laughed. Then Orochimaru sent a message to Shikun Mitarashi on Wristwatch to let him prepare.
"In this case, let's ask Teacher Sarutobi and the two elders to come with us to see what these things have done!"
Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze reached out and put their hands on the shoulders of several old people, and then activated Flying Thunder God Technique.
"This is..."
On a plain dozens of kilometers away from Konohagakure, three old guys stared blankly at the huge Rocket in front of them.
"Orochimaru, is this a weapon you made?"
"This is more than just a weapon!"
Orochimaru pointed to the huge electronic screen on the side.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., let us see the current scene of the Daimyo's Mansion."
"Okay, Mr. Orochimaru."
After the words fell, a panoramic view of the entire Daimyo's Mansion appeared on the screen. Orochimaru pressed his fingers on it, with his index finger and thumb, and the picture immediately enlarged, showing a bustling street, and everyone could even see individual pedestrians in it.
"This is..."
"This is just part of it. When Rocket launches enough Satellite, we will even be able to see several other major domestic scenes."
Orochimaru snapped his fingers and led everyone to the next area.
"This is..."
"This is Giant Ark Reactor. Just this one thing is enough to support the entire Konohagakure's electricity consumption for a year."
"This is..."
"Super Hybrid Rice has an output of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu. At that time, we can use it to dump food in countries such as Land of Wind that are short of food and affect their economies."
"Then what is this?"
"Elder Zhuanqiu, this thing is the Gold Dust Fertilizer currently on the market, but it is an upgraded version. It is enough to absorb nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from two meters underground, and the wheat yield is 1,800 per acre!"
