Parallel World 3, Konoha, year 63.
While Amegakure Village and the Akatsuki Organization were still fuming over Fugaku's attack.
On the other hand, Orochimaru had successfully completed the Hokage inauguration ceremony. Under the attention and support of Konoha, he had successfully officially ascended to the throne of the Fifth Hokage, and openly and publicly informed the entire ninja world.
At the same time, along with the news, Orochimaru himself, who had just ascended to the throne, and two elite ninja guards departed.
He left Konoha and immediately rushed to the Land of Iron to prepare for the Five Kage Summit.
It must be admitted that although Hiruzen was no longer as heroic as he was in his old age, he still gathered prestige throughout the ninja world after decades.
At least other villages were willing to attend the invitations he sent out for the Five Kage Summit.
Especially on Kumogakure's side, they weren't worried about any tricks Hiruzen would play.
When the Five Kage arrived in the Land of Iron and received the news that the Hokage had changed to Orochimaru, the rice was already cooked.
If other villages had known beforehand that Orochimaru would succeed as Hokage, the Five Kage Summit might not have been held.
❀❀❀
Land of Iron, Three Wolf Mountain, inside the City Fortress.
The Land of Iron, responsible for hosting this Five Kage Talk, had been waiting for a long time.
"Hokage-sama, please come this way."
"Hey, who are you?"
When the samurai on duty at the reception saw the team wearing the Hokage robes, they immediately greeted them, then looked closer.
Only then did they realize that the leader of the other party didn't seem to be the Third Hokage in the circulating rumors.
"I am the new Fifth Hokage. Perhaps the news hasn't reached you yet. Just lead the way, no need to hesitate." Orochimaru replied politely.
He didn't have the habit of pretending.
The news of the Hokage change must have been received by the senior officials of the Land of Iron, but it hadn't reached the grassroots level yet.
This also proved that he had pinched it at the right time.
"Oh! Forgive me. This way, everyone!"
Orochimaru brought Kakashi and Kabuto and followed the instructions towards the Five Kage Conference Room.
This time when he went out, Orochimaru only brought Kakashi and Kabuto with him.
They weren't experts, but overall they were pretty good.
Below the Kage level, this was considered the first level. Except for Jiraiya being involved, Konoha wouldn't be able to draw more combat power cards now.
However, with Jiraiya's character, he would never come to the Five Kage Summit, and he would probably only do bad things if he came.
After all, Orochimaru wasn't afraid of most attacks and threats at this time, and didn't care whether he had guards or not.
❀❀❀
After reaching the conference room.
Except for Sunagakure Village, the other three villages had already taken their seats. A U-shaped round table, with a U-shaped gap in the middle, sat the host, Mifune.
Cloud, stone, fire, wind, and mist; the five were arranged in order from left to right.
Coming from Kumogakure was the Fourth Raikage, A, as well as the guards: Darui and Shii.
From Iwagakure Village came the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, as well as the guards: Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi.
Coming from Kirigakure Village was the Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, and the guards: Ao and Chojuro.
"Good morning everyone!"
Orochimaru greeted with a smile and sat down in the Hokage's seat very skillfully.
Kakashi and Kabuto stood behind him with serious expressions. Not to mention, this feeling was quite new for Orochimaru.
Especially when they saw Orochimaru, representing the Hokage, come in, everyone was surprised.
Onoki was the first to speak: "The Hokage has actually changed to you. I thought Sarutobi would be Hokage for his entire life!"
Orochimaru didn't show any weakness and immediately replied: "Sensei is old and no longer able to take care of the village. It's natural for him to retire and enjoy a comfortable life."
"Tsuchikage, your back doesn't hurt while you're still sitting here at your age?"
"You—"
Just when Onoki was about to reply, he felt pain in his waist and groaned softly. He had to hold it in his throat and hold back.
"Fifth Hokage Orochimaru? Hmph! That's an unpleasant person."
Fourth Raikage A crossed his arms and protested while snorting coldly.
He admired violence and disliked wicked men like Orochimaru. It seemed like there were always a lot of poisonous plots.
This was similar to the former Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.
Orochimaru didn't care about this. Fourth Raikage A was unhappy with almost everyone, not just for a day or two.
After all, what could he do if Fourth Raikage A was unhappy?
Could he still pounce on him and bite?
It wasn't like Orochimaru became Hokage because of Fourth Raikage A.
"Then, new Hokage, who organized this Five Kage Summit? Was it the Third Hokage?" Terumi Mei was more pragmatic and asked directly.
Kirigakure Village had just emerged from the dark years of the blood mist when the Fourth Mizukage was manipulated. This was also the first time Elder Genshi officially asked her to be the Mizukage's envoy.
She was also very eager to make achievements to prove her ability.
"Of course, sensei initiated it. I happened to attend the meeting, not sensei."
Orochimaru smiled thinly and blamed Hiruzen without any burden.
'If I refuse to admit it, what can you do to me?' Shameless gaze.
Moreover, wasn't a teacher like this just blaming himself?
In this way, he didn't need to lift the 'Darkness of Konoha' with white-gloved hands. Hiruzen was my most suitable 'root'!
"You!"
Fourth Raikage A was a little angry and couldn't bear his impatience.
It's a pity he couldn't do anything to Orochimaru.
He knew Orochimaru was lying, and Orochimaru knew he knew he was talking nonsense, but what difference did it make? They were all the same village leaders, how could they disagree?
The last Kage had arrived.
The attendant of the Fifth Kazekage: Chiyo, and two Jonin guards.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
Grandma Chiyo apologized with a smile and looked around the conference room. Then she stopped in front of Hokage Orochimaru in an instant, her face turned black, a huge burst of anger suddenly surged, and she couldn't help but shout:
"Orochimaru!"
"Hey, isn't this Grandma Chiyo? I didn't expect Sunagakure Village to send you. It seems no one is available!"
"It's your fault! How dare you show up here!"
"As a Hokage, coming to the Five Kage Summit is a normal thing, right? What do you think?"
"You!"
As soon as the two sides met, the atmosphere became tense.
After all, Sunagakure Village already knew that the Fourth Kazekage was most likely killed by Orochimaru!
Moreover, Orochimaru also pretended to be the Fourth Kazekage and tricked the Jinchūriki of Sunagakure Village into capturing them alive, and lost a large number of elites.
Coupled with the high compensation and ransom of two billion before and after, Sunagakure Village was almost drained.
Now, almost everyone in Sunagakure Village hates Orochimaru.
This was also what Orochimaru had guessed.
After this disaster, there was actually no one available in Sunagakure Village.
There were great Jonin, but their reputation and strength weren't enough to convince the public, they had no choice but to ask Grandma Chiyo, who was a consultant, to temporarily take over the position of Kazekage.
She led Sunagakure Village and weathered the storm.
"Mifune-sama, how can this person represent the Hokage at the Five Kage Summit? He's the one who killed the Fourth Kazekage in my village! He's the murderer!"
Kazekage guard Yura jumped out and pointed at Orochimaru.
All figures turned their gazes.
Everyone knew that there was a conflict between Konoha and Sunagakure in the recent Joint Chunin Exams, but they weren't very clear about the details.
Now it seems that Orochimaru was the one who killed the Fourth Kazekage!
Interesting, this is very exciting!
In response, Orochimaru remained motionless, smiling contemptuously, and asked:
"Do you have any evidence? What are you showing without evidence?"
"Even if he was killed by me. Doesn't the fact that the dignified Kazekage died in such a cowardly way prove that he wasn't worthy of the name Kazekage?"
"I helped Sunagakure Village get rid of a loser who wasn't worthy of the name Kazekage. Shouldn't you thank me?"
"Have you collected enough compensation from Sunagakure Village? Do you think you can do it again? Don't forget your current situation!"
