For Zhang Miao, it had nothing to do with him whether Orochimaru defected or not. He never had any problem with Orochimaru, so he remained indifferent.
However, Hiruzen wasn't as easy as him.
A year ago, the Kyubi attacked Konoha, causing the death of both Minato and his wife Kushina. Konoha lost both its Fourth Hokage and Jinchuuriki at the same time. In addition, many of their ninjas died in battle, which was a serious blow to its military power.
Tsunade of the Legendary Sannin suffered from blood phobia because of the death of his lover, and left Konoha. Jiraiya, another member of the trio, taveled abroad all the year round, so only Orochimaru remained around the village .
But now Orochimaru had defected, which was undoubtedly caused a serious blow to the already declining Konoha.
Today's Konohagakure could be said to have relied entirely on Hiruzen.
"Orochimaru, what was he thinking?!"
Among the three disciples, Orochimaru was the one who Hiruzen had high hopes for. His defection made him angry, disappointed, and regretful at the same time.
Thinking of Orochimaru, Hiruzen immediately thought of Zhang Miao. If Orochimaru was a genius, then Zhang Miao was a genius among geniuses!
Especially Zhang Miao's IQ. In Hiruzen's view, it was beyond the category of genius, and he could be called a monster!
Many times Hiruzen even thought that when his teacher Senju Tobirama said about "the one who could be entrusted with the next generation", he should be referring to a genius like Zhang Miao!
It's a pity that Zhang Miao doesn't seem to be interested in being a Hokage at all, which makes Hiruzen very helpless, and he also heard that even the old fox Danzo suffered a loss from Zhang Miao's scams and was fooled by him.
"This kid has completely got his eyes on money now. With his character, if he becomes a Hokage in the future, God knows what will happen!"
Apart from this reason, Zhang Miao also had some darkness in his heart.
Hiruzen remembered that as early as when Kushina was alone, he mentioned that Zhang Miao had darkness in his heart, and Zhang Miao's actions later proved this.
Another important reason is that Hiruzen has never known the origin of the organization behind Zhang Miao!
Looking at the Wuy's mission records on the table, Hiruzen's brows flashed a trace of complexity.
"In just three months, he has completed two S-rank missions and twelve A-rank missions. It's incredible that such a ninja only obeys a child who is less than two years old!"
If it was before, Hiruzen would not have thought too much, but this time Orochimaru's defection made him pay close attention to Zhang Miao again.
Because he was worried that if he didn't teach him properly, Zhang Miao would become the next Orochimaru!
Hiruzen was sure that if Zhang Miao becomes a person like Orochimaru in the future, it will be a huge threat not only to Konoha, but even to the entire ninja world!
Thinking of this, he immediately summoned an Anbu member and gave him an order.
"Go check what that brat Ryunosuke have been doing these days!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Hiruzen's words, the Anbu immediately nodded, then turned around and immediately left the Hokage's office.
About an hour later, the Anbu came back with a scroll in his hand.
"Hokage-sama, this is the record of Ryunosuke's activities for the past half month."
Hearing his words, Hiruzen immediately picked up his pipe and took a whiff, then nodded: "Read it!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Hiruzen's words, the Anbu immediately opened the scroll and began to read.
"I woke up at eight in the morning, went to Ichiraku Ramen for breakfast, went to Uncle Shikaku's house at nine, went to Uncle Inoichi's house at ten, and went to Uncle Choza's house at eleven o'clock,
"At twelve o'clock, I went to the Uchiha settlements, then went home to do wood sculpture at one o'clock in the afternoon, then went to Yakiniku Q for dinner at six o'clock in the evening.
"
"Uh..." Hearing the report, Hiruzen was taken aback for a moment.
"Is he like this every day?"
"He's basically like this, and there's..."
Speaking of this,the Anbu hesitated for a moment, and Hiruzen immediately noticed his weird attitude, and immediately frowned.
"What else, say it!"
"Yes!" Anbu immediately replied when he heard Hiruzen 's words.
"When I came back from the Uchiha settlements this morning, I transformed into Hiruzen's son Asuma, and pinched Kurenai's buttocks and legs on the way. She got really mad and went around the village to search him!"
Hiruzen: "..."
"Damn it, I already know that this kid is going to do something bad. Forget it, just don't trouble me!"
Thinking of this, Hiruzen suddenly picked up his pipe and took another huff, then looked at the Anbu who was standing opposite him again.
"Anything else?"
"About that..." Hearing Hiruzen's words, the Anbu nodded again, "The other thing is that he often goes to the bathhouse to peek at girls' bath recently!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
As soon as the Anbu's voice fell, Hiruzen couldn't help laughing, and he waved his hand while laughing.
"As a child, it's normal to be curious about the opposite sex. It's okay, don't worry about it!"
At this time, Hiruzen was basically relieved, because compared to Orochimaru, he would rather Zhang Miao become a person like Jiraiya. Although he was a bit lustful, he at least loved the village.
Looking at the laughing Hiruze, the Anbu, who was in charge of the report, suddenly flashed a hint of hesitation, but he finally opened his mouth.
"About that... Hokage-sama, he didn't go with his true appearance, he went there disguised as you, my lord. He was already caught once, and now there are rumors in the village that you are a pervert, Hokage-sama!"
Hiruzen: "Cough, cough, cough..."
"That damn brat!"
Originally, Hiruzen was still wondering, why Zhang Miao, the troublemaker, didn't cause any trouble for him for so long.
"This kid is so nasty!"
Thinking of this, Hiruzen suddenly took a deep breath, and a helpless expression appeared on his face.
"Besides this, does he have any other troubles concerning me? If so, tell me about it!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Hearing Hiruzen said so, the Anbu no longer hesitated, and immediately opened his mouth again.
"Recently, there have been rumors in the village that the Hokage's office was destroyed before because, you, Hokage-sama, planned to marry consultant Koharu, but your son Asuma did not agree, so you fought each other!"
"What?" Hearing this, Hiruzen's eyes widened immediately, "How could there be such a false rumor? When did I say I was going to marry Koharu? Who the hell is making that rumor?"
"I don't know, there is no way to find the source." Upon hearing the Hiruzen's question, the Anbu, who was in charge of the report, immediately shook his head.
"But there is a high possibility that it was done by Ryunosuke. Fortunately, advisor Koharu has already suppressed this matter, and she also sent a precious lighter to Asuma, according to our judgment, she should be interested with you, Hokage-sama!"
Hiruzen: "..."
"Although she is interested with me, I am not interested with her, I don't like old women! And this Ryunosuke, it seems that I have to stop him no matter what!"
Thinking of this, Hiruzen immediately waved his hand.
"Go, and get me Danzo and Ryunosuke. And on your way, please tell advisor Koharu to come. I must make things clear today!"
"Yes!"
