Chapter 146 Good People Are Easily Exploited
After staring at Orochimaru for a long time, Danzo sighed softly.
No matter how superior Orochimaru's start was, he was now a loser in the election for Hokage, just like himself.
Thinking of this, Danzo said to Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, you don't have to say those thoughts anymore. Let me ask you, do you want to impeach the Fourth Hokage with me?"
"If we unite with the other advisory elders, we might be able to drive Minato away."
Hearing this, Orochimaru glanced at Danzo and frowned: "Danzo, you can go and impeach Minato Namikaze by yourself, don't be stupid enough to take me with you."
"Now Namikaze Minato has touched upon the old man's interests. This is their previous matter. I will not stand out and attract firepower for them."
Hearing this, Danzo's face darkened a lot, but he had to admit that Orochimaru was more thoughtful.
Sarutobi Hiruzen chose Minato, who had a shallow foundation, because he was unwilling to give up the power of Hokage. However, he did not expect that Minato would soon break away from Sarutobi Hiruzen's control and have his own ideas.
In this contest between the old and new Hokage, there is really no need for them, the losers, to get involved.
But failure is not terrible, what is terrible is losing the fighting spirit to become Hokage. Orochimaru can indulge in ninjutsu experiments and forget about Hokage, but he can't do that.
He has been waiting for decades to become Hokage.
Even though he doesn't see any chance of becoming Hokage right now, he will continue to work hard.
However, the most important thing at the moment is to train a new team. Without enough subordinates, he would not even have the confidence to face the Third and Fourth Generations, let alone plan for the next Hokage election.
Time flies, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Unlike the situation in the past two months where he was taking advantage of the situation, Minato Namikaze's reform actions have been going exceptionally smoothly in the past few days.
The reason for all this is simply because Minato Namikaze has become serious.
Although Minato Namikaze is very young and has not much experience, he is the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.
When Minato Namikaze showed a moderate attitude, the advisory elders and the major ninja clans would try to prevent reforms that would affect their own interests, but once Minato Namikaze really wanted to do something, no one could stop him.
At least in the few days after Minato Namikaze issued the Hokage order, the voices of opposition in the village suddenly disappeared, and were replaced by affirmation of the Fourth Hokage's policies.
Faced with this situation, Minato Namikaze in the office felt somewhat complicated.
He had never expected that the Hokage had such great power that he could suppress all the dissenting voices in the village by himself.
But after thinking about it carefully, Minato Namikaze felt that the power of the Hokage was not that great.
If he compromises with the advisory elders and the ninja clan in the village this time, it will become extremely difficult for him to get anything done in the future, and he will become a puppet in the Hokage's office who can only stamp orders.
What was most difficult for Minato Namikaze to accept was the change in other people's attitudes after he became Hokage.
He felt that his former superiors, friends and even subordinates were much more unfamiliar, and their tone became much more reserved when they met and talked with each other.
Perhaps the only ninja he could open up to was Kushina.
Maybe this is the helplessness of becoming Hokage.
However, as long as it can make the village stronger, he can endure the pain. Becoming Hokage has been his dream since he was a child, and it is also Kushina's dream.
...When Minato Namikaze in the Hokage Building lamented that it was not easy to be Hokage.
The orphanage's pharmacist Kabuto is busy completing the tasks assigned by Bai Ye, hoping to get more rewards to keep the orphanage going.
After all, in addition to these healthy children, there are many children with congenital disabilities in the orphanage.
Even if they reach the age to enter the ninja school, it is difficult for them to pass the test of the ninja school, become a reserve ninja, and live a more affluent life from then on.
The task Bai Ye assigned today was very simple.
In addition to daily intelligence gathering, there are also chakra extraction and physical exercise, as well as Yakushi Kabuto's favorite part, reading.
He likes reading very much, on the one hand, he can see colorful scenery from books.
On the other hand, the knowledge recorded in the book can help the orphanage get rid of its current predicament and allow the children in the orphanage to grow up normally under the sun.
After reading the book in his hand, Kabuto Yakushi asked Bai Ye while trying to refine chakra:
"Senior, do you think that if I become a ninja, can I let everyone in the orphanage live a good life? I heard that ninjas have the ability to breathe fire and water, so it must be very easy for them to have enough food."
"It's because the dean isn't a ninja that she has to work so hard."
At this time, Bai Ye was analyzing the information collected by Kabuto Yakushi, thinking of sending it to the Akatsuki organization immediately.
Hearing the ignorant and immature speech of Kabuto Yakushi, Bai Ye couldn't help laughing: "Kabuto Yakushi, you live in the Konohagakure, why do you have fantasies about ninjas?"
Yakushi Kabuto didn't know why Bai Ye said that, but what he said just now was what he was thinking.
As if he had seen what Kabuto Yakushi was thinking, Bai Ye said meaningfully: "Kabuto Yakushi, you don't think that Nono, the director of the orphanage, is really just a powerless ninja."
The dean is a ninja... Kabuto Yakushi was a little slow to react and muttered to himself: "If the dean is a ninja, why doesn't she use ninjutsu in front of us?"
"Why would she use ninjutsu on you? And if you think she is not a ninja, why would she stay in Konohagakure with all of you?"
After a pause, Bai Ye continued, "Where do those children who left the orphanage go? Why doesn't anyone come back? Don't you think the orphanage is like a special training institution?"
After digesting these unbelievable news, Pharmacist Dou stood there in a daze, and then whispered to Bai Ye:
"Senior, are you asking me to stay away from the dean? I can't do that."
"Of course not..." Bai Ye shook his head: "I'm just reminding you. Anyway, the orphanage is not a good place, and your director must be a good person."
"You said the dean is not a good person? You are not a good person. Not only did you bribe me to steal information from Konoha, but you also slandered the dean who founded the orphanage."
Pharmacist Dou frowned, very unhappy.
In his opinion, there is no one better than the dean in the world. The dean is like a mother to him. He cannot tolerate Bai Ye's slander against Yakushi Kabuto.
Bai Ye didn't pay much attention to Pharmacist Dou's expression, and was too lazy to argue with the child.
What he said were all things that happened in the plot. The Root organization was indeed behind the orphanage, and Nono's real identity was Danzo's subordinate, a spy codenamed "Walking Miko".
However, in order to gain the trust of Kabuto Yakushi, Bai Ye still said:
"I never said I'm a good person, but your dean had better not be a good person. Good people can be easily exploited in this cruel ninja world."
