Two years after the war with Hoshiki.
Also known as Shinobi World the second year of the new calendar.
Konoha.
In a grand gathering.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood on a high place with a smile on his face, waving his arms to the enthusiastic people below and saying hello with a smile. Orochimaru followed the teacher step by step, looking a little dazed.
Not so long ago...
While Orochimaru stayed up late working at his desk, Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared in front of Hokage Office with a smile and placed a handover letter in front of him. It was Hokage's letter of appointment!
Orochimaru is extremely surprised. The teacher is in his prime, why is he about to abdicate now?
Orochimaru originally wanted to work for another few decades, relying on his and Hiruzen Sarutobi's physique and trust to set a record of "the longest river of Hokage's assistants"...
As for the highest mountain, the position of Hokage's assistant has been determined to be "Danzo', and it is certain that no one has ever questioned it. Everyone knows that this person is Hokage's beloved relative and friend.
Even though there were still many doubts and unexplained remaining issues on his body, after Danzo seriously injured Zoshiki with his life, these things drifted away with the wind...
Special issues receive special treatment.
Moreover, death is a big deal.
"Am I going to be Hokage now? Fourth..."
Orochimaru stood half a step behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, feeling the cheers and heat waves of the crowd, and felt a little unreal for a moment. He has served as the assistant of Hokage, Scientific Research Department Minister, the commander of the battlefield, thought that he was used to such big scenes. But on this day, even with Orochimaru's character, he still felt some unexplainable pressure.
After all, Konoha is now more than just a village...
But a whole Shinobi World!
What has to be dealt with is not just the affairs of Shinobi World, but also concerns the economy, technology, people's livelihood, order and other aspects of the people in each administrative region...
The challenges we face will be brand new and historic.
But no matter what, Hiruzen Sarutobi has prepared enough space for his disciple to develop, and he helped Orochimaru to assist Hokage early on...
Let this Crown Prince of Konoha be able to form his own "East Palace" and have a team that runs smoothly and is easy to use. The effect is also significant. During the war with Hoshiki, Orochimaru also had the authority to command everyone in Shinobi World under extremely critical circumstances. "It's still not until that day..."
Orochimaru looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi waving to the ninjas and the people, with friendly expressions and relaxed postures, without any feeling of nervousness, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
When could I have such magnanimity?
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the people and ninjas of Konoha, smiling and saying hello to the people below, and occasionally pointing somewhere would cause a burst of excitement.
"Big brother, big brother, big brother!"
This is Land of Fire Daimyo Kujo Gen.
"Did you see it? I told you that I know Lord Hokage very well! Lord Hokage gave me a pack of cigarettes more than ten years ago. Look at this iron box..." "There would be no Wood Dragon Brand Cigarettes! Young man, my qualifications are not bragging..." This is Uchiha Hono who is mingling with young people and bragging.
The Konoha young ninjas around me want to tell Mr. Yan to stop reading. It has been three minutes since I heard the story about Lord Hokage giving you a cigarette... But when I saw Hokage waving and greeting Uchiha Hono on this occasion, I was still extremely envious...
I also understand why Uchiha Hono talks so much!
If it were them, they would probably remember it in their hearts and want to tell their grandson the story of Grandfather when he was young...
Orochimaru imitated Hiruzen Sarutobi and waved his hand, but obviously he couldn't do it that naturally, showing a hint of restraint and deliberateness. Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed this, but didn't say anything, just smiled.
No one is born Hokage...
Everything will take some time to get used to.
And Hiruzen Sarutobi has such confidence in its carefully selected and carefully cultivated apprentices.
Shinobi World, which has entered a period of peace, is led by Orochimaru, who is led by scientific research, has an enterprising spirit, and is even slightly radical. The main tone is also very consistent.
And.
Hiruzen Sarutobi just abdicated, not died or anything...
As long as he is there, even if he does not appear in front of the stage.
It has a radiation effect on Konoha ninjas, officials, and the people, and can inspire Will of Fire in everyone's hearts... In other words, it is the backbone and a deterrent.
"This, I don't think I need to introduce you too much..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.
There were no unnecessary actions or instructions, just the sound of Hokage, and the sea-like crowd below stopped moving, and the scene quickly returned to silence.
Orochimaru smiled in his heart.
The teacher's prestige is clearly reflected in these small details...
"My beloved disciple, my most proud disciple Orochimaru, will take over the position of Fourth today..." Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly, "I am relieved to leave the future of the village and Shinobi World to him."
"In the past, Orochimaru has also fully proved his ability and won the respect and trust of everyone. He has made great and outstanding contributions in scientific research, military, and economy..."
"First Hokage's cells, popularization of Cursed Seal and Natural Energy, Ninja Academy and Orphanage, integration of Land of Fire's original ninja clan, military command, development of "Sage Land Pill'..."
"My Spirit Release, my beloved disciple has also provided me with considerable help and inspiration." Hiruzen Sarutobi said without changing his expression. Orochimaru was startled in his heart.
When did he provide the teacher with Spirit Release inspiration?
You know, Orochimaru is the shrewdest. He hardly ever sparred with Hiruzen Sarutobi and spent all day in the Scientific Research Department completing the tasks in hand... Because Orochimaru saw that Hiruzen Sarutobi really couldn't find anyone to sparring with, so he beat the whole Konoha in the village in the name of sparring...
It's just that I've had two encounters with Mito Uzumaki!
Therefore, even if the sparring with Hiruzen Sarutobi can be greatly improved, Orochimaru does not want to suffer the iron fist of love. After all, he is the teacher's most favored disciple...
If there are any techniques you want to learn, just tell the teacher.
As for actual combat, Orochimaru feels that he does not have the talent of Hiruzen Sarutobi, so there is no need to force himself to be perfect but to give full play to his strengths... The same goes for Jiraiya and Tsunade who are sparring with their teachers...
"Has Lord Orochimaru Jingran helped Lord Hokage develop Spirit Release?"
"That's awesome!"
"Except for Orochimaru, such a talent can only be achieved by the resurrection of that adult! By the way, I have heard rumors that Lord Tobirama is very optimistic about Orochimaru..."
"Really! Does that adult think highly of Lord Orochimaru? It's really amazing that he can be watched by that person and still work so well..." The people and ninjas below were talking about it.
Obviously because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, the people and ninjas have more trust and expectations for Orochimaru.
Along with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Spirit Release has become the supreme technique of Shinobi World today, and it also has signs of gradually becoming the iconic inheritance of Hokage Faction...
This puts a lot of pressure on Obito, whose ninjutsu performance is not very satisfactory...
Tobirama, who was at the bottom, was quite emotional at first. Seeing this scene of alternation of inheritance, he recalled the scene of the breakup between Hiruzen and Danzo...
But when he heard others talking about his name, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Tobirama discovered...
The so-called "Tobirama" name has almost become some kind of extremely terrifying Jashin, as if being noticed will bring huge opportunities or misfortunes... It has become the most prestigious existence among Shinobi World except Hiruzen Sarutobi!
What Tobirama doesn't know is that Sage of Six Paths, who has been searching for Pure Land for a long time recently and has not found his presence, is in great shock. Sage of Six Paths has always thought that Tobirama is at most among Pure Land, staying awake and calling Pure Land who is controlled by him. The power of Chakra or Dragon Vein...
As a result, Sage of Six Paths discovered that Pure Land had no trace of Tobirama at all. Sage of Six Paths teamed up with his brother Hamura to scan the entire Shinobi World, but no trace of Tobirama was found...
Brother Six Paths was shocked to come to a fact...
"It turns out that Senju Tobirama is real!'
Tobirama doesn't know yet, but after Sage of Six Paths posted this post on Shinobi World Forum, the sense of oppression and prestige of this name will probably rise to the limit in a short period of time...
Becoming an existence comparable to or even surpassing Sage, ranking as the biggest mystery of Shinobi World!
"Ahem..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi obviously did not expect that in such an occasion, someone would mention Teacher Tobirama's name, and it would also trigger a certain degree of discussion. "Teacher Tobirama is very optimistic about Orochimaru. He told me about this. Regarding his disciple's moral character, Teacher Tobirama has praised me many times..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart moved and he said this.
As soon as these words came out, Orochimaru, who was recognized by both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tobirama, immediately received a tsunami of applause from the ninjas and the people! Tobirama smiled and applauded too.
He couldn't remember when he praised Orochimaru.
You know, at the beginning Tobirama still had the mentality that "Konoha can only trust him and Hiruzen" and came to monitor Orochimaru and Danzo... Even recently, Tobirama has not given up vigilance, and monitors everyone equally with the mentality of First Darkness of the Shinobi... On the white list in his heart, only Hiruzen Sarutobi is forever exempted.
Only Hashirama and Mito are partially exempted.
Maybe reluctantly, I can add a bastard named Izuna Uchiha...
"Orochimaru, the future of the village is in your hands."
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru turned sideways, one master and one disciple facing each other.
Hiruzen Sarutobi dignifiedly took off the Hokage Hat on his head, slowly placed it on Orochimaru's head, straightened his clothes, and handed the Haori in his hand to his apprentice...
Orochimaru nodded solemnly. "I will go all out, teacher! I will always remember to Will of Fire and use my life to fulfill the duties of Hokage!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and patted Orochimaru on the shoulder.
And with this shot, special energy was injected into Orochimaru's body, raising the upper limit of his life level with a gentle progress without side effects...
This is a new ability that Hiruzen Sarutobi realized from Shibai's Corpse. It has not been fully understood yet, so the energy it has condensed is not too much.
And enjoying this treatment, besides Orochimaru, there is also his wife Biwako Sarutobi...
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a step back.
Orochimaru adjusted his mentality and slowly took a step forward, holding Hokage Hat on his head, enjoying the cheers from the ninjas and the people for him... So far.
Hiruzen Sarutobi retired Hokage position.
And his apprentice Orochimaru officially became Konoha Fourth Hokage, creating his own place in the history books.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Orochimaru's back, and suddenly his heart moved.
His talent seems to have improved again...
Through the layers of different spaces, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to notice a few particles, among which were the shadows of his brother Shimura Danzō... "I will bring you back, Danzo."
"Wait a little longer."
Hiruzen Sarutobi whispered in his heart, "Even if the entropy flow is reversed, I will find a way to do it. Except for you, no one dares to contradict me..."
Even Orochimaru couldn't imagine it.
During his Fourth Hokage passing ceremony, the teacher actually remembered that man...
All I can say is, maybe this is the great bond of Konoha!
"Now the inauguration list of the new Hokage Office Building is announced."
"Hokage assists Tsunade!"
"Konoha consultant Jiraiya, Hatake Sakumo, Hiruko, Hizashi Hyuga, Uchiha Fugaku!"
Orochimaru Read the names on the list.
Every time a name is read out, there will be a burst of warm cheers.
"Uchiha Madara, who has made significant contributions to the village, was awarded the honorary lifelong Hokage, and the honorary lifelong consultant Izuna Uchiha!" When the names of Madara and Izuna were read, Asura of Shinobi was obviously a little stunned.
But he stood up quickly after being reminded by Izuna, and waved to the slightly unnatural and enthusiastic people and ninjas...
He becomes Hokage now?
Although it is honorary, it is also Hokage!
Madara even felt a little embarrassed.
Because at the meeting the day before yesterday, Madara also questioned Orochimaru taking over as Hokage position, believing that young people still need more experience, work harder Hiruzen, or choose the best among the best...
Madara didn't have any bad intentions, he just had a rebellious personality.
Obviously, the list left by Hiruzen Sarutobi for Orochimaru calmed Asura of Shinobi's restless heart...
In this grand ceremony, the coffin was finally set for Madara, and he was given the honor of "Hokage" for life, eliminating Uchiha's unique high sensitivity...
Madara slowly exhaled a long breath and laughed from the bottom of his heart.
From then on, he can openly say that he is a Konoha person!
Not only is Konoha a person, but it is also an honor to be able to stand side by side with Hashirama Hokage!
Orochimaru looked at Madara and smiled gently.
The first thorn in his Hokage road has been smoothed over half...
But what Orochimaru obviously didn't expect was that Hokage didn't seem to be that easy to fuck. It was a painful and happy position...
#
Shinobi World New Calendar Three Years.
Hokage Office.
Orochimaru looked at the list of Shinobi World graduates and the assessment teachers, and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
How to arrange this...
Where is this Ninja Academy graduation exam?
This is obviously going to hit Shinobi World War!
Precocious pocket, Totsuka Blade healthy ferret, Senju Yamato, Hyuga Toneri...
A duel against Obito who has been tortured by various heroes from Shinobi World!
People from all walks of life gathered to watch this Ninja Academy Graduation Ceremony. Whether they were the ancestors of each village or Hashirama Mito Izuna and others, they all asked to be present to watch...
