Chapter 161 (1/2)
The next day.
The news about the return of Eroiche spread throughout Konoha.
This news was like an earthquake that shook countless civilians and Shinobi, all of Konoha was seething.
Silver Flash-The Hero of Konoha!
Despite a long absence, during which Minato took his place, becoming the new hero of Konoha, the exploits of the Silver Flash can not be forgotten, they are already written in history!
As for people like Hiruzen and Danzo, the moment they received the news of Yeruashi's return, their hearts shuddered, and only one thought came to mind...
Trouble!
If Yeruashi's name had remained engraved on the memorial stone, the future change of power in Konoha would have gone extremely smoothly, under the patronage of Hiruzen, the position of Hokage would have passed smoothly into the hands of Minato.
But now everything is different, the current age of Yeruashi is not enough to become the Fourth Hokage, but if it drags on for a few more years, Yeruashi will already have the right to claim the post, or if Orochimaru enlists the support of his student, he will instantly be able to return to the fight!
Immediately.
Hiruzen held a private meeting, with only Danzo and a few elders, such as Homura and Koharu, participating.
At the same time, Erase visited the laboratory of Orochimaru.
Orochimaru looked at the student who had just appeared and smiled, ” As expected, you couldn't leave this world so easily, Yeruashi.»
”Ah, there was an accident.»
Yeruashi didn't go into details and took out a small bottle of blood, immediately tossing it to Sannin: ”This is my gift to master, the blood of the Fourth Kazekage of the Race.»
”Improved Geaton Genome?»
Orochimaru caught the bottle, a light flashed in his eyes: ”It's pretty hard to get the blood of one of the Kage...You didn't go to Sunagakure, did you?»
Erase relaxed waved his hand: ”Yes, I looked there.»
Despite Yeruashi's words seeming insignificant and not worthy of attention, Orochimaru realized for himself one fact, the current Yeruashi has a power that surpasses an entire Great Village! Almost like the legendary Shinobi God Senju Hashirama from the past!
Of course, he could have infiltrated Sunagakure, obtained Kazekage's blood, and immediately retreated. Orochimaru believed that with proper training, he could also pull off such a plan, but Yeruashi's attitude was too relaxed.
As if it was something trivial.
With that phrase, Yeruashi almost directly told him that he had the power to surpass an entire Great Village.
”On the way back, I met Senior Tsunade and she told me that you seem to have lost interest in the Hokage position?»
Orochimaru paused for a moment and chuckled, ” Too many people don't want me to be the next Hokage, so I really lost interest. In fact, it seems like something completely trivial, compared to the d.e.s.i.r.e to gain eternal life.»
Erase looked at Sannine and said quietly: ”I will respect any teacher's choice. If you still decide to become a Hokage, I will definitely support you.»
After saying that, he turned around and left the lab.
With the current strength, Yeruashi is not even afraid of all of Konoha, so it all depends on the choice of Orochimaru. Whatever choice the teacher makes at the end, he will respect his decision and support him if the need arises.
”Hokage...»
Orochimaru looked after the departing of Erase and whispered.
...
Erase left in Konoha for a long time.
He only stayed here for one day, and after a brief chat with Hiruzen, he set off in the direction of Konoha's frontline camp, located to the east.
This frontline camp, designed to protect against Kirigakure, is responsible for monitoring and providing communication between several important regions, Kakashi was sent here a few days ago.
Erase arrived in the camp.
