Hearing Sasuke's explanation, Jiraiya was truly frightened.
"Is that true?
If Minato is still alive and pretending to be dead while hiding in Konoha's Anbu, Jiraiya couldn't even imagine it.
He didn't even dare to think about what Hiruzen and the others were planning.
What kind of grand conspiracy could that be?
Could he want to destroy the five nations and unite the ninja world?
Wasn't that too frightening?
Hiruzen and Orochimaru, of course, were unaware of Jiraiya's crazy thoughts, but they both vaguely guessed the truth.
So they looked at each other and silently brushed the matter aside again.
"I will personally verify this matter. If there are any results, I will inform you again."
Orochimaru casually dismissed Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was also very eager to take Naruto to the hospital for examination and treatnt, and he left imdiately.
As long as Minato was alive, Jiraiya was confident he could always find a trace of him, and he wasn't in a hurry.
"Orochi... Godai-sama, I'm also going for treatnt."
Seeing this, Kakashi hurriedly left.
He rushed to the hospital with Sasuke and Sakura, fearing that if he returned late, Orochimaru would really eat him.
Orochimaru did not hold back, just watching them leave with a smile.
After all, the entire Konoha Village was now his, so there was no need to rush.
No matter how hard Kakashi and Sasuke tried, could this cooked duck still fly?
Hiruzen beside him also noticed Orochimaru's desire for Sasuke, so he reminded:
"That's the only Uchiha ninja in the village and Itachi's younger brother. If you attack him, it will likely provoke Itachi's revenge!"
Orochimaru was montarily taken aback, once again forced to recall the embarrassing scene of his instant defeat by Itachi.
But he was not soone who could be easily defeated. He then shook his head and laughed, asking:
"Itachi that you sent to infiltrate Akatsuki, right?"
"That's ."
"What about the tragic genocide of the Uchiha clan back then?"
"Danzo was the one who pushed for it. Before I could stop him, he threatened and used Itachi to carry out the massacre. Even so Root ninjas participated in the capture and murder."
Hiruzen sighed, not wanting to rember the tragedy of that year.
After all, the genocide committed by the Uchiha clan had caused him to beco increasingly estranged from the entire Konoha ninja clan.
Apparently, this was also one of Danzo's goals?
"Oh? Old man, were you late to stop it? Or was it intentional?"
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
Such flawed rhetoric could not deceive a smart person.
The supre leader of Konoha, the Third Hokage, who held absolute power and could strip Danzo of all authority with just one word.
Danzo quietly planned a massive extermination operation against the entire Uchiha Clan? Did Hiruzen not even know about it?
Don't joke.
If the Third Hokage was really foolish, and if Danzo could truly cover the sky with one hand, this Hokage position would have long been his.
"..."
Hiruzen fell silent.
However, the silence itself represented a kind of answer.
After the genocide, Itachi would receive a mission assigned by him to infiltrate, and he would always report the situation of that infiltration only to Hiruzen, rather than reporting to Danzo.
That was enough to say the truth.
"Orochimaru."
Orochimaru shook his head and said with a smile:
"Don't misunderstand. I'm not interested in the foolish things you did back then, and I have no intention of pursuing them."
"Old man, you should think about how you will face the Shodai next ti. If he knows that you plan to destroy the Uchiha Clan, it will be difficult for him to see you favorably."
"..."
Hiruzen fell silent, sweat dripping from his forehead.
Tobirama was fine, but Hashirama was least accustod to betraying his teammates and hurting his companions.
If the other party knew, he would be in danger!
Otherwise, just sell out Danzo, an old friend?
After all, he was the main instigator of the night of the genocide.
Hiruzen was montarily in a dilemma, feeling very torn.
"As for the matter of Sasuke, you don't need to worry. Don't worry, I know it in my heart and will not take Sasuke's life."
He was the most valuable Uchiha material in the village, and it was too late for Orochimaru to protect Sasuke. No scientist was foolish enough to waste his only unique research material!
Orochimaru was not foolish enough to be like Hiruzen and Danzo.
Cutting off one's own arm, how foolish could soone be to do that?
After exterminating the Uchiha Clan in Konoha and committing suicide in madness, what was the point of being Hokage in the end?
A group of foolish and rotten old n.

Not long after, Orochimaru left the exam site.
Hiruzen was left alone, standing in a daze.
Before leaving, Orochimaru also took over all direct mobilization rights under ANBU from Hiruzen.
Although Orochimaru would not trust them all, and they would have to be thoroughly cleaned up afterward before reorganizing their new direct ANBU.
However, at this mont, it was more beneficial to use them for ergency needs, to issue temporary decisions and the like.
After all, it was better than handing it over to Hiruzen.
Once Minato ca to power, Orochimaru could see how frustrated he was when there was no one to help him!
How could he make the sa mistake again?
After that, even though Otogakure moved here, Orochimaru would not fully integrate it into Konoha. He still needed independent and pure strength under his command.
❀❀❀
Twenty minutes later.
Orochimaru had taken over the Hokage Office.
All of Hiruzen's personal belongings had been cleared out by ANBU beforehand and would be moved to his ho later.
As subordinates, don't bla these ANBU ninjas for being ruthless.
People also need to earn enough money to support their families!
Moreover, it was their duty to be loyal to the new Hokage.
Now, Orochimaru sat alone on the comfortable Hokage throne in the office, turning to the window to look down at the entire village in front of him. An indescribable and beautiful feeling gradually arose from his heart.
He had truly beco Hokage?
So absurd, so strange, yet so real.
From the notorious Konoha rebel fugitive to the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.
Less than an hour before and after?
There were also the teachers who abdicated, the previous Hokages who were mysteriously resurrected, Konoha dominated by him, and the ANBU suspected to be Minato.
This event was so extraordinary that it sparked Orochimaru's interest and curiosity.
"Interesting! So much fun!"
"Hahahahaha."
Orochimaru laughed loudly. It had been a long ti since he laughed heartily.
The ANBU ninjas hiding and waiting around felt their scalps tingle and held their breath. They almost thought their new Hokage was crazy?
Soon Orochimaru's laughter stopped abruptly, and he began to lick his lips loudly.
He started thinking about his future and the future of the entire village.
This Hokage could not be wasted.
The entire stagnant ninja world would start a storm!
"Soone co!"
Orochimaru commanded.
*WHOOSH*
Three ANBU ninjas imdiately landed in the office, kneeling on one knee, ready to obey orders.
