Hikaru Hokage

Be ruthless to the enemy and be sensible to yourself. The genin in front of you, no, I should say chuunin——

He really has a ninja vibe to him.

Looking at the young man in his prime in front of him, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

In contrast, this is what Kakashi lacks now.

"will not."

Hino Hikaru shook his head, and then...

He dodged a dark shadow that suddenly rushed towards him.

thump!

"Pfft!"

A piglet that tried to jump into his arms fell heavily to the ground, making a bewildered pig cry.

"Dolphin!?"

Shizune quickly picked up the piglet on the ground.

"Sorry, I don't really like pigs as pets."

And just now it was an instinctive dodge.

Because he just slept with Tsunade last night, Hino Hikaru was not surprised by Shizune's appearance.

"No, it's okay..."

Does this person smell like Tsunade-sama?

Shizune looked at the boy in front of her curiously, and soon began to blush on her face.

So, so handsome, right?

I had only heard of this man's name before, but this was the first time I had seen him up close like this.

Only then did the young girl finally understand why there were so many little sisters in the ninja school who liked this low-ranking student who often repeated grades.

This guy's face is even more handsome than Kakashi under the mask...

"By the way, I haven't formally congratulated you and Kakashi on your promotion yet. Let's go have barbecue together. I'll treat you."

Seeing Shizune's blushing performance and Hino Hikaru's "straight man" performance, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but smile again.

"And Lin and Shizune, come together. Obito...are you not here today?"

"I don't know, maybe I got lost somewhere."

Because Obito gave her a little teasing today, Nohara Rin was a little bit tempered.

"Sorry, thank you for your kindness, but I still have urgent matters to deal with at home, so I will take my leave now. I will invite you back next time I have the opportunity."

I still don't know how to deal with Tsunade's matter, Hino Hikaru really has no interest in eating with the Minato class.

"Me, me too! I still have to look for it...Anyway, I'm sorry!"

After Hino Hikaru left, Shizune also apologized, and then quickly followed the place where Hino Hikaru left with the pig in her arms.

Regardless of why the other party smells of Tsunade-sama, he must be related to Tsunade-sama's whereabouts.

It's just that there are so many people now, Shizune can't ask directly.

It's better to follow him secretly and find a place where no one is around to ask him properly.

"Unreasonable trouble!"

After watching Ryoma Aburame being escorted into his office, and listening to what the jounin said about what happened.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer understands Danzo's thoughts, he will no longer be worthy of being the Hokage.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen really didn't expect that just because he refuted Danzo's face once, he would suffer such revenge from the other party.

You don't have any tolerance at all, and you still want to covet the position of Hokage?

Fortunately, the teacher chose me over Danzo. I don’t know how the village will be distorted by him now.

"Go and surround the root gate, and call Danzo back to me!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen really lost his temper this time.

Although this was just a trivial matter involving civilian genin, Danzo's practice of sneaking damaging moves made him feel that his Hokage majesty had been seriously challenged.

However, just when he was giving instructions to the Hokage secretary beside him——

"Don't be so angry, teacher."

A fair face, a gentle smile, snake-like eyes, and a voice that was so low that it was sticky.

At some point, Orochimaru slowly appeared half of his body from the wall of the Hokage's office.

And with just one look, he froze the Hokage's secretary who was about to leave the office.

"Orochimaru."

The appearance of Orochimaru surprised Sarutobi Hiruzen a little.

But it's not unexpected.

"You will age faster if you lose your temper all the time."

"Hahaha, don't think of me as an old person. I am only over 50 years old. I feel like I can live another 50 years."

After seeing Orochimaru appear, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly changed his face, as if the angry look just now had never appeared on his face before.

Maybe it was because he hadn't seen his disciple for a long time, so he was a little happy. He even laughed "haha".

"No, I mean, you should decide on the candidate for the Fourth Hokage, my sensei, earlier."

But Orochimaru still had a cold aura about him.

It seems that he never likes being exposed to the sun.

"The candidate of the Fourth Hokage?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped smiling.

I don't know when he started to understand his disciple's mind less and less.

"Orochimaru, do you really want to be Hokage?"

Looking at his favorite disciple who was also currently the most troublesome, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes gradually deepened.

It's not like he didn't think about letting this disciple succeed him as Hokage.

However, since Tsunade's brother Naoki died in front of Orochimaru, in the past ten years, Orochimaru seemed to be undergoing changes that he could not control every day.

Because of this, there was always a voice in his heart telling him——

Orochimaru is not a suitable candidate for Hokage.

"It seems that many people want to be Hokage, and many people die with the dream of becoming Hokage..."

One step at a time, Orochimaru slowly walked to Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk, and then sat on the Hokage's exclusive office chair.

But after sitting for a while, he stood up again and walked to the window, looking downstairs at the streets of Konoha Village.

"I want to live longer, learn more ninjutsu, and be the Hokage of the village like Sensei, and enjoy the feeling of being admired by everyone, isn't that okay, Sensei?"

"I didn't say you couldn't do it, it's just that you can become Hokage only if you are recognized by most people. And now you, like Danzo, have drifted away from most people in the village."

"Most people agree?"

Orochimaru couldn't help but sneer.

"Ninjas have always been respected by their strength. Besides, didn't the teacher become Hokage just because of the words of the second generation?"

What needs to be recognized now?

Orochimaru didn't believe this.

"I had no choice at that time. The second generation of adults died, and the village needed someone to stand up!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked solemn.

He planned to continue preaching to this troublesome disciple, but he remembered the seriousness of the current situation where Konoha was about to fall into the quagmire of war.

"Orochimaru, if you really want to be Hokage, help Konoha win the alliance between Iwagakure and Kumogakure in the next war. When the time comes, not only will I recommend you, but everyone in the village will also recommend you. , makes you Hokage."

"I see."

Orochimaru nodded casually.

"I didn't say I wouldn't help you, teacher."

war?

At that time, I didn’t know how many people would die.

Orochimaru stretched his hand out of the window and caught a yellow leaf blown by a gust of wind.

"Where is Danzo now?"

After hearing that Orochimaru was willing to participate in the war, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart was mostly loosened over the past few days.

The tense atmosphere in the room also relaxed a lot.

"He hid in Yuyin Village. It is said that the poisonous old man Hanzo invited him for something."

"Poisonous old man..."

Hearing this title, Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly speechless.

Only Orochimaru, a Sannin, would have such a derogatory name to call Sansho Hanzo, who is called the demigod of the ninja world.

"The war is coming soon, and Danzo still has time to go to Amegakure Village."

Thinking of Danzo's operation today, Sarutobi Hiruzen still couldn't help but feel angry.

However, even so, he still has to be responsible for the aftermath.

After all, today's Konoha still needs organizations like "roots" to deal with some things that are inconvenient for him to deal with.

"Tsunade seems to have returned to the village. If you have time, you can go find her, Orochimaru."

"Tsunade? She is already a useless person. What will happen if she returns to the village?"

Orochimaru shook his head coldly.

"In contrast, I am very curious about the genin who survived today. If you don't mind, can you let me accompany you, Mr. Sarutobi? By the way, let me learn your 'Way of Hokage'..."

-

"Does that pet pig still have the ability to stalk people?"

Without even looking back, Hino Hikaru knew that there was a little tail following behind.

"By smell?"

Well……

Hino Hikaru sniffed his collar.

It was only now that he realized that his body seemed to be mixed with a lot of Tsunade's scent.

The smell of body odor, sweat, and some unknown liquid.

Well, after all, I did it almost all night, and I haven’t taken a shower yet, so it’s normal that there will be a strong smell.

No wonder Kakashi hesitated to speak at that time.

I'm afraid it was because he smelled something.

"Ah, I almost forgot about eating."

Not paying attention to the people following behind him, Hino Hikaru walked to the Ichiraku Ramen stall.

"Three bowls of ramen, please pack them. Please put more fish plates (Naruto rolls)."

"no problem!"
