Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

The kiss was light and there was a fleeting trace of blood at the corner of the lips. Ye Cang's beautiful eyes turned and she continued to smile.

"No reaction at all? You're at a disadvantage."

"Since I've suffered a loss, do I have to smile for you? Now that I've recovered, let's go."

He stood up and stretched hard. His stiff joints crackled like firecrackers. Ye Cang shook his head helplessly, marveling at the wonders of the world.

"I never thought that I would live in Konoha one day. Is this really okay?"

"There were some problems originally, but now there are none. The Sand Ninja just announced the death of the Sand Ninja hero, the Scorch Release Ninja Ye Cang. I will take care of your identity issue."

Ye Cang's eyes were full of sarcasm. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the Sand Ninja and sneered.

"There are only two ways to be a hero: to be engraved on a tombstone or to become someone who controls power. If you deviate even a little, you will be seen as an eyesore by others."

"Oh, forget it. My life depends on you. If you dare to betray me, even if I die in hell, I will bite a piece of flesh off your body."

Huayue nodded perfunctorily, and the two figures disappeared from the spot in an instant. The white fog that lingered in the desert and stretched for dozens of miles dissipated with the wind.

The Land of Fire, Konoha Village, at Kazuki's home.

"From now on, you are the leader of Konoha's medical class, the sister of Yakushi Nono, and your name is still your real name."

A stack of personal information as thick as a dictionary appeared in front of Ye Cang. With a flash of his body, the two of them appeared in a remote hut on the edge of Konoha, near the orphanage.

"The conditions are simple, so be patient for now. If you encounter an Anbu, you can show them my kunai. Don't leave the village easily, or you will be detected by Konoha's perception barrier."

With his eyes flickering, Ye Cang had not expected that the infiltration and investigation as he had expected were completely non-existent, and he could easily create a flawless identity.

"Are you used to this kind of thing?"

Huayue smiled brightly. Orochimaru had experience with this kind of thing more than once or twice.

The information in Konoha's archives, the Anbu's style of work and secret orders, plus Danzo covering for Orochimaru, naturally Hanazuki can do what he can do, and even more secretly.

Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen's direct Anbu investigated, they would only find the truth behind Danzo in the end. The Third Hokage's greatest weakness was his excessive kindness and indulgence.

What would happen if they found out? At best, Danzo would be dismissed from his post. It would be more difficult to get the Third Hokage to kill his old friend than to kill him.

"In life, we always have to deal with the darkness that we don't want to face. This is not an unacceptable choice, provided that the darkness can bring convenience to ourselves."

"Enjoy this long-lost peaceful time. For some time in the future, perhaps for about ten years, we will no longer face the cruel battlefield. Are you interested in developing a hobby to pass the time?"

Before Ye Cang could speak, Hua Yue disappeared again. The face that came into view had stiff lines, but a smile was hidden in the eyes.

"Long time no see, my most proud disciple, are you interested in waiting with me for the victory?"

Orochimaru laughed, which was rare, and his snake-like vertical pupils were full of smiles. Seeing this, Huayue's mind moved and some guesses emerged in her heart.

"Has there been any breakthrough in the First Hokage's cell experiment?"

Orochimaru shook his head slowly, and as soon as he spoke, Kagetsu froze in place, complaining inwardly.

"No, Iwagakure has agreed to a ceasefire agreement. The long-awaited peace has come. Isn't this worth being happy about?"

"Eh hey hey? What are you talking about? There seems to be something wrong with my ears. Are you a peace-loving person? Could it be that..."

As if she remembered something, Huayue suddenly realized something and the smile on her face became more obvious.

"I understand, Third Hokage, your beloved teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen is ready to resign, right?"

After the abdication of the Third Hokage, there are only two people who are qualified to compete for the position of Hokage: Orochimaru in front of Kagetsu, and Minato Namikaze, the yellow flash who is known as a 'hero' and is invincible on the battlefield.

"Sarutobi-sensei and several Hokage advisors have traveled to the Land of Fire to meet with the Daimyo and discuss the selection of the Fourth Hokage. Who do you think it will be?"

After a moment of thought, Kagetsu kept smiling, but the answer she gave made Orochimaru's smile stiffen, and murderous intent flashed across his face.

"In terms of achievements, the teacher who participated in the Ninja World War twice is not much different from Minato-sensei, but in terms of reputation in the village, Minato-sensei is obviously more than one level ahead of you."

"Correspondingly, the existence that can influence the judgment of the Third Hokage can be completely ignored in Konoha Village. In other words, you bribed the daimyo and many councilors of the Land of Fire, right?"

There was murderous intent on his face and Orochimaru spoke in a cold tone.

"Don't be so blunt. It seems you need to learn more about the art of language. This is just a necessary measure..."

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

In the Fire Nation, in the council meeting room, the Fire Nation Daimyo waved his folding fan and shook his head repeatedly.

"Why do you want to resign if there is nothing to do? Isn't the Third Hokage doing a good job?"

"We are old now, and it is time to make way for the new generation of Konoha. Witnessing the growth of the new generation of Konoha is also the pleasure of us as the older generation, hahahaha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed out loud, and then got down to business.

"Regarding the selection of the next generation Hokage..."

"Konoha's current policies are too weak. The Fourth Hokage should choose someone who can lead Konoha to become stronger. I recommend the Third Hokage's disciple, Orochimaru!"

Danzo suddenly interrupted, and the candidate he recommended made the Fire Nation council members look at each other with different expressions.

"Orochimaru, um... I've heard that this guy is pretty good, how about choosing him as the Fourth Hokage? What's your opinion, Third Hokage?"

As soon as the daimyo opened his mouth, the words that Sarutobi Hiruzen had been brewing for a long time were immediately stuck in his mouth. Danzo had a smile on his lips and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Orochimaru has offered money that even the daimyo and many councillors are tempted by. Now we have the upper hand. Do you dare to go against the daimyo's opinion? Hiruzen."

boom!

Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were stunned to see Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was always known for his calmness, slamming the table angrily with a serious tone.

"I object! Although Orochimaru is excellent and can be called a genius in war, the ambition hidden in his eyes is enough to prove that he is not a good person!"

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, what is the meaning of your actions in front of the Daimyo? Do you dare to disregard the Daimyo's opinion?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Utane Koharu on the side quickly acted as a peacemaker and whispered to persuade them.

"Calm down, Sarutobi Hiruzen must have his reasons for doing this, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen barely suppressed his anger, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Danzo's veins bulged and his face turned cold.
