In Konoha 47, the most explosive news came.
The first news is that after Minato Namikaze defeated the AB combination of Kumogakure head-on on Battlefield, it was officially announced in the village!
Minato Namikaze! Officially joins the impact on the position of Fourth Hokage!
The reason for this incident is that Hiruzen Sarutobi is getting older and older, and under the rumors spread behind the old coin Danzo, the famous name of Land of Fire also wants Hiruzen Sarutobi to retire.
Therefore, after integrating Hiruzen Sarutobi's 'personal' thoughts, Land of Fire directly announced that Fourth Hokage would start the election.
As soon as the news of the election came out, everyone was excited, and some people who were capable and wanted to sit in this position began to take action. Overtly or covertly, these people also began to control a new round of rumors.
At least, if you go to Konoha now, everyone is more or less discussing the record of these people, but this matter was not discussed at all before the news of Fourth Hokage's election came out.
However, after competing again and again.
Fourth Hokage The three most powerful candidates have surfaced!
One is from the same generation as Hiruzen Sarutobi, and is also Shimura Danzō who served as the guard of Second Hokage Tobirama Senju!
One is the apprentice of Hiruzen Sarutobi! Cold Lord Orochimaru, one of Konoha Sannin!
The last one became famous after this war, Minato Namikaze who owns Yellow Flash!
Each of these three people has a very high voice.
Of course, everyone's characteristics are different.
However, when it comes to advantages, the votes of Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze are almost the same, while Danzo's votes are slightly less.
After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi retired because he was older, and Shimura Danzō and Hiruzen Sarutobi are of the same generation!
"Teacher Orochimaru, your election quota has been determined." In a Laboratory, Mitaraishi Anko walked behind Orochimaru with a scroll.
At this time, there was Yamato next to Orochimaru, and the two of them were observing the blood tissue in the culture dish.
"Yeah, I understand." Orochimaru straightened up, took off his goggles, took off his gloves, took the scroll in his hand and began to read it carefully.
"Teacher Orochimaru, do you really want to run for Fourth Hokage's position?" Mitaraishi Anko asked curiously.
"Why do you say that? Isn't it the wish of many people to become Hokage?" Orochimaru chuckled. Mitaraishi Anko's question is very strange.
"But Teacher Orochimaru, I remember you said before that you are not interested in that position now..." Mitaraishi Anko still remembers that he had asked this question when he had just become a student of Orochimaru.
But at that time, Orochimaru said very clearly and firmly that he did not want to become Hokage. His interest was to set aside more time to study various things. This is what Orochimaru wanted to do.
"Fufufu, Anko, people's thoughts are always changing, right?" Orochimaru looked at Mitaraishi Anko, and a trace of fluctuation seemed to flash in his eyes.
"Teacher Orochimaru... are you going to help Sōkū's father wash away his grievances?" Mitaraishi Anko stared at Orochimaru.
Sōkyū Hatake!
This name has not appeared in this Laboratory for a long time. Not only Orochimaru, but also Yamato on the side was also stunned for a moment.
"Fufufu, why do you feel like this?" Orochimaru looked at Mitaraishi Anko very seriously, as if he was thinking about something.
"Because... I think Lord Orochimaru must have his own reasons for wanting to be Hokage so much, but... Sōkū's death... and Sōkū's wish at that time..." Mitaraishi Anko looked at Orochimaru, these things have been on his mind since this time.
There must be a reason why Orochimaru is so actively campaigning for the position of Fourth Hokage.
But after thinking about it, Mitaraishi Anko always feels that this reason seems similar.
"Sōkyū Hatake... I haven't heard this name for a long time. Fufufu, I really miss the name, but Anko, do you think I would be so motivated to overturn what the old man did?" Mitaraishi Anko's words made Orochimaru smile.
"Orochimaru teacher has always been a person who is obsessed with experiments. If it weren't for these reasons, I think..."
"Lord Orochimaru won't have any obsession with the position of Hokage, right?" Before Mitaraishi Anko finished speaking, Yamato on the side spoke.
"Fufufu, you two have been by my side for so many years, and you still want to analyze my psychological activities?" Orochimaru said with some interest.
"Then Teacher Orochimaru, are you really..." Mitaraishi Anko said directly.
"Yes, since Little Sōkū is dead now, then as his teacher, I cannot fulfill his wish?" Orochimaru thought about it for a while, and both Yamato and Mitaraishi Anko could believe it, so they said it directly.
"Thank you... Thank you, Teacher Orochimaru!" Upon hearing Orochimaru's definite reply, Mitaraishi Anko couldn't help but reveal a smile.
Over the years, she has never forgotten Sōkyū Hatake. On the contrary, the image of that boy has been constantly replayed in Mitaraishi Anko's heart, even becoming more and more clear.
And every time Sōkyū Hatake's death anniversary comes, Mitaraishi Anko and Ayame will visit Sōkyū Hatake's grave at the location of Memorial Stone. Of course, they will also clean Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo's grave together.
"There are some things that since the dead can no longer complete, then the living will continue their wishes to complete this matter, so...Hatake Sakumo's matter, after I reach that position, I will solve this matter." Orochimaru said directly.
For him, the most important thing now is no longer the experiment, but fulfilling Sōkyū Hatake's 'last wish'!
After all, some things can only be accomplished after reaching that position, and only that position can be reversed.
This is why Orochimaru is so keen to participate in this Hokage election!
For the sake of those who have passed away, he must achieve that goal!
PS: I have always felt that Orochimaru is a very emotional person. As long as you can become his own person or form a bond with him, he will spare no effort to help you!
