Outside Konoha Village, inside Root's Secret Base.
"Is this the power of Hashirama cells? Truly impressive. Orochimaru really chose the right person for his research."
Danzo's greedy voice echoed in the back room.
"Lord Danzo, Uchiha Nanaya has been designated as a special Jōnin by the Third Hokage."
At this time, a ninja wearing an Anbu mask kneeled and reported to Danzo.
Uchiha Nanaya—the kid who survived alongside Uchiha Sasuke on the night of the massacre?
"Yes, Lord Danzo, that's him. He defeated Kakashi and went straight from Genin to Jōnin."
Danzo frowned. That Hiruzen, always doing things that benefit him.
The age of graduation from the Ninja Academy is ostensibly 12 years old.
After graduation, he directly promoted a Genin to a Jōnin without considering tasks and achievements.
He's developing them into his own combat power. The Third Hokage is very adept at this.
Winning people's hearts with an eclectic approach, using them for his purposes.
This is why the Third Hokage has been able to maintain his position for so long.
But Uchiha Nanaya's development really surprised him.
Kakashi has worked under him, and he has a certain understanding of his strength.
And now, this boy named Uchiha Nanaya was able to defeat him.
Is this the power of the Uchiha clan's bloodline?
Danzo asked curiously.
"Even Kakashi, who owns the Sharingan, is not an opponent? Did he also activate his Sharingan?"
"The situation is like this, Lord Danzo. We did not find that Uchiha Nanaya activated his Sharingan, and Kakashi did not use his Sharingan. Kakashi was defeated in his normal state."
This suggests there were significant factors in this battle.
But the man Uchiha Nanaya deserves their attention.
"By the way, have you found any traces of Dingshui, Moonlight Hayate, and Sarutobi Kirito?"
These people have been missing for some time, and Danzo's Root has also sent people to look for them, but there have been no results.
Moonlight Hayate and Sarutobi Kirito are associated with the Third Hokage, so Danzo doesn't care much.
But the Root member codenamed Dingshui is his capable subordinate, and they also want to find out what happened during this period.
"Lord Danzo, we have searched the entire Land of Fire, but we haven't found them. Maybe ninjas from other countries made them disappear."
Ninjas deal with corpses in various ways, and there are methods to leave no trace.
"By the way, Lord Danzo, Dingshui's last mission before disappearing was to gather information about Kirigakure. The information has been submitted to the Third Hokage by Uzuki Yugao."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shared Mist Shinobi's information with Danzo. He also knows that the current Kirigakure Fourth Mizukage is dead, and the Three Tails have become wild tailed beasts.
Uzuki Yugao turned out to be the only one who survived the mission.
Danzo's eyes narrowed, and he immediately ordered: "Pay more attention to Uzuki Yugao, Anbu, the direct subordinate of the Hokage."
"Got it, Lord Danzo."
...
On the other side, Nanaya is still talking secretly with Orochimaru.
"Then Orochimaru, since you are so confident, how about I leave the Third Hokage for you to deal with?"
"Nanaya-kun, it's easy to say, but what's the benefit for me in killing the Third Hokage?"
"Whatever you want, take it as long as Konoha has it."
This statement was bold.
"There are so many excellent ninjas around the Third Hokage, the Anbu, it's not easy!"
Since Nanaya can say these words, he naturally has confidence in himself.
"I will create the conditions for the battle between you and your master."
Orochimaru still harbors certain resentment towards the Third Hokage.
The Fourth Hokage was not his recommendation, and his scientific research was banned by the Third Hokage.
In his eyes, the Third Hokage was nothing more than a pedantic old man who couldn't keep up with the new era.
If someone can kill the Third Hokage, then he wants that person to be himself.
Even so, Orochimaru was cautious.
"Nanaya-kun, with your strength, you could also deal with the Third Hokage. Why do you want me to do it?"
"You both have a master-disciple relationship, and you are a renegade. You are very suitable for this matter. Besides, don't you and the Third Hokage want to settle this without others interfering?"
This statement struck a chord with Orochimaru.
He has many ties with the Third Hokage and really doesn't want others to interfere.
So in the original series, during the Chūnin exams, Orochimaru faced the Third Hokage alone.
He didn't want help, and certainly didn't want others to interfere in this matter.
Therefore, the Four Violet Flames Formation created by the Sound Four provided a favorable environment for him and the Third Hokage to continue their master-disciple relationship.
Orochimaru chuckled.
"Nanaya-kun, you understand other people's minds very well. So what do you intend to do after dealing with the Third Hokage?"
"Then Konoha will make a convincing man the Fifth Hokage, and he will be my puppet."
Controlling the Hokage means controlling the entire Konoha Village.
That's how Uchiha Obito manipulated Kirigakure.
The next Hokage is Uchiha Nanaya's tool.
"Orochimaru, who do you think is most likely to become the Fifth Hokage after the Third Hokage dies?"
Nanaya asked with interest.
Orochimaru couldn't help but think for a moment.
He is already a traitor to Konoha, so it's impossible.
Jiraiya?
This guy's character is simply not suitable for Hokage, given what he knows about Jiraiya.
Even if the two advisors, Homura and Koharu, asked Jiraiya to be the Hokage, he would refuse.
Danzo?
It is impossible at present. At least the current Danzo's mind is not set on becoming Hokage; he is still developing his own power.
Having the powers of Uchiha and Senju is what Danzo wants most at the moment.
Even if Danzo becomes Hokage, that would be advantageous for Orochimaru.
They are allies and share common interests.
If Danzo is impossible, Orochimaru considered the new generation of Elite Jōnin and some clan chiefs of Konoha.
Hatake Kakashi, who has this reputation, is still very young and lacks the necessary qualifications.
Nara Shikaku, the head of the Nara clan, is Konoha's military advisor.
It's not suitable for a Hokage to be a support figure, and the higher-ups would not agree to a Hokage from the Nara clan.
Konoha was founded by the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama. The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is from the Sarutobi clan, became Hokage is because both the First and Second Hokage were his teachers.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is said to have inherited the will of the First and Second Hokage.
Although the position of Hokage is meant for the able, it is actually passed down through certain families.
The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, was a disciple of Jiraiya, and Jiraiya was a student of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Orochimaru thought about so many people, yet he couldn't figure out who would be the next Hokage.
"Mr. Orochimaru, you seem to have missed someone, someone like you, one of the legendary Sannin."
Orochimaru's snake-like pupils suddenly narrowed, and his incredulous eyes locked onto Uchiha Nanaya.
