Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san.

Aokiji nodded: "In that case, I will serve as Hokage for the time being."

After saying that, he looked at everyone and smiled slightly: "Who of you agrees, who of you disagrees? If you have any opinions, you can raise them now. I have always been very "Ming" Lord.

Everyone looked at each other and accepted it helplessly.

At least Aokiji didn't say anything final, leaving a thought, although not much.

After everyone agreed, Aokiji basically became Hokage, except for the formalities.

Uchiha Inahide said: "Lord Aokiji, the murder of the high-ranking Asuma and his accomplices..."

Qingzhi glanced at him.

Uchiha Inahime understood and immediately changed the subject: "Uh, Hokage-sama, should we immediately investigate Asuma and his accomplices who murdered the high-ranking officials?"

Aokiji pounded his fist on the table, showing his ruthless side: "Of course, this matter must be repaid with blood."

◎

On the rooftop.

Aokiji put his hands on the fence, feeling the wind and looking at the scenery below.

Jiraiya stood behind him and taunted him, "You're the Hokage now, you're happy, right?"

"..."

Aokiji didn't respond. It was indeed satisfying at the moment of revenge, but it became empty afterwards.

After a long while, he slowly said, "Where are you going next?"

Aokiji didn't think Jiraiya would stay in the village now.

Jiraiya is still staying in the village, just to see how he will win the position of Hokage, and to mock him by the way.

“It’s none of your business.”

The goal has been achieved, and Jiraiya is ready to leave this place of doubt.

"This is indeed not my business, but it is Sarutobi Hiruzen's business."

"What do you mean?"

"I didn't actually kill all of the Sarutobi clan except Asuma. I left one person behind, did you know that?"

"What did you say?"

"That child's name is Konohamaru, and he's Sarutobi Hiruzen's grandson."

Jiraiya glanced at Aokiji, not understanding him.

Is it that he still has a conscience?

No, that's not possible.

All the unrelated people in the Aokiji Sarutobi clan were killed, so it was impossible for this direct descendant to be left behind.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not crazy, I'm deliberately causing trouble for myself. Aokiji smiled and said, "This is part of the deal."

"trade?"

"This is the deal between Asuma and I. To prevent civil unrest in the village, he chose to kill all the high-ranking officials and take on everything alone. In return, I will leave a bloodline for the Sarutobi clan, and I will not even expose the dirty deeds done by the Hokage."

Jiraiya lowered his head, his expression gloomy.

Aokiji has completely changed and can even think of such a vicious method.

Aokiji smiled and said, "Hey, you know what? This inspiration was given to me by the Konoha high-level officials."

"What do you mean?"

"Remember when I told you that the higher-ups were planning to kill all of my people?"

Jiraiya: "..."

"And their method is the same method I am using now, except that the target is Uchiha Itachi, and the child left behind is Sasuke, Itachi's biological brother." Aokiji said in a deep voice: "If I hadn't returned to the Uchiha clan in time, then the scene you are seeing now would be Uchiha Itachi killing all his clan members, taking on everything, and becoming a traitor."

The truth was far more cruel than he knew. Jiraiya took a deep breath and said, "…Why are you telling me this?"

"I'm just telling you again, I don't regret doing these things."

"..."

Aokiji said: "Take Konohamaru away, and change both your given and surname. Don't be like Naruto, who has an Uzumaki surname in front of him, afraid that others don't know whose child he is.

"He's only one or two years old now and doesn't remember anything. I think the pain I've caused him is far less than the pain the higher-ups originally intended to bring to Sasuke. After all, Sasuke doesn't know anything at this point."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice: "Where is he?"

Aokiji told the location.

Jiraiya turned and walked away.

Aokiji shouted, "You'd better take him away and never set foot in the village. If I meet and recognize him next time, I will kill him without saying a word out of prudence."

Jiraiya closed his eyes and disappeared from the place the next second.

Jiraiya carried Konohamaru, left Konoha, and walked onto the road.

Suddenly, a figure caught his attention. He was leaning against a big tree, as if he was waiting for him here on purpose.

The man had pale skin and prominent purple eyeshadow around his eyes.

Jiraiya instantly recognized the man's identity, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Orochimaru..."

Chapter 421 Now I am the Hokage

Chapter 421 I am the Hokage Now

"long time no see."

Orochimaru's eyes fell on the child beside Jiraiya, and his laughter was teasing: "But then again, when did you become a nanny?"

"How will you be here."

Since Orochimaru's rebellion, Jiraiya has been investigating his whereabouts, but he didn't expect that he would find him today.

Orochimaru said lightly: "Adapt to the new life in advance."

Jiraiya frowned and said, "What do you mean by adapting?"

"After a while, I think the wanted order on me will be cancelled." Orochimaru said with a smile: "Before that, I will live quietly in the village."

With Qing Pheasant's current power, it would not be that difficult to revoke his wanted order.

Hearing that Orochimaru was going back to the village, Jiraiya was very surprised, and suddenly thought of something: "Ao Pheasant has been in contact with you."

Orochimaru did not deny it: "Well, almost."

Jiraiya's expression turned ugly: "Are you also involved in killing high-ranking officials?"

Orochimaru shook his head and said regretfully: "Although I have this idea, Aojiji doesn't seem to want me to participate directly. Maybe he doesn't want me to bear the name of killing the master."

Jiraiya laughed at himself. He once wanted to bring Orochimaru back to the village, but he didn't expect that it would be completed in this way. He had to lament that fate had played a big joke on him:

"What are you going to do when you return to the village?"

If Orochimaru continues to engage in human research, Aokiji would probably choose to let it go in his current state.

Orochimaru didn't hide anything: "I will help Aoji to resurrect Tsunade."

Resurrect Tsunade?

Jiraiya was startled.

This kind of thing that goes against common sense is bound to be accompanied by a lot of sacrifices in the process.

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya's expression: "When Aoji and I revive Tsunade, do you want to return to the village again?"

After saying that, he extended his hand and made an invitation: "We are just like we used to be."

Jiraiya remained silent and his attitude was self-evident. If something like this happened, it would be difficult for him to go back to the past.

Orochimaru understood and stretched out his hand: "Yeah, that's really a pity."

Jiraiya asked: "Are you so sure of resurrecting Tsunade?"

Orochimaru shook his head: "If it's just me, of course I'm not sure, but if it's Aokiji, I think it should be possible."

In Jiraiya's view, Orochimaru's attitude of trust in Aokihiko is almost blind obedience: "Why do you still trust Aokihiko so much after so much time has passed?"

"He's fun to be with. That's something you and Sarutobi-sensei can never give me."

"What."

"truth."

Jiraiya shook his head: "As expected, I still can't understand you since I was a child."

After that, he no longer stayed, and left here with Sarutobi Hiruzen's grandson to wander around the world.

◎

The first thing Aoki did when he became Hokage was to set foot in the Forbidden Library and study all the jutsu. From the catalog, it can be known that there are two missing ninjutsu, namely the Reincarnation of the Earth and the Yamata no Jutsu.

It happened to correspond to the two ninjutsu that Orochimaru took away.

Aoki looked at the Flying Thunder God Technique in his hand, and didn't quite understand why Orochimaru didn't take it away in the first place.

He put the Flying Thunder God Jutsu in his arms, left the Forbidden Book Technique, and returned to the Hokage's office.

There was a mountain of documents on the table. Just waiting for him to come back and read it, Qing Zhi flipped through it and threw it aside.

He rubbed his chin, wondering if he should find a secretary to share the work with him.

In my impression, Raikage, that big boss, just found a secretary for himself. The secretary usually does all the miscellaneous things, while he does it. Only important things will be looked at a few times.

When choosing a secretary, strength is secondary. The most important thing is to have a good mind, and then someone must be trustworthy.

Qingzhi plans to find a secretary within his own clan to help him organize documents on a daily basis.

He kind of wanted to choose Itachi, he was smart enough, and Aokiji could always teach him by words and deeds.

However, Itachi's fighting talent was too high, and being a secretary was too humiliating.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door, interrupting my thoughts. I could only put aside the matter of finding the secretary for the time being: "Come in."

After a while, two middle-aged men walked in, namely Fugaku and Nara Shikaku.

"Hokage-sama, there is something I need to report to you."

When Aoki became Hokage, Fugaku's name for Aoki also changed.

"whats the matter."

Needless to say, Fugaku and Aokiji also knew more or less.

When he became Hokage, one of the orders he issued was to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the four major families. Among the people sent, there were Uchiha and other personnel to supervise each other to avoid saying that Uchiha was acting for public benefit.

"We found that these families relied on their high-level connections and engaged in a lot of kickbacks, and even the Yuan Fei family was involved."

Aoji showed a surprised expression and looked specifically at Nara Shikaku: "Are you sure?"

Nara Shikaku nodded.

"Hokage-sama, how should we do this?"

"No leakage of this matter is allowed, and anyone who leaks it will be severely punished."

Qingzhi is not trying to save face for the top management, but once something is announced, it will lose the trust of the masses, which will be detrimental to subsequent management.

Both of them are smart people. Qing Zhi does not need to explain too clearly. He can understand the meaning and should claim "yes"

Aoki crossed his palms and placed them on the table: "Fugaku, you go down and do your work first. I have something to do and I want to talk to Shikaku alone."

Fugaku clearly retreated, leaving a chance for him to chat alone.

"Come for a walk with me."

Aoji left his seat and stood up. Nara Shikaku couldn't guess what the other person meant, so he could only follow the other person's intention and follow him.

The news that Aokiji had become the Hokage had spread throughout the village. The two were walking on the street and were quickly recognized. They stopped and nodded to show respect.

Not long after, the two came to the ninja school and visited the children.
