35, Orochimaru's humility

The conference room of the Hokage Building brought together a number of high-level people in the village.

The heads of major families, such as Hinata Hinata, Uchiha Fugaku, and Nara Shikaku.

and some well-known Shangnin, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Bo Feng Shuimen, etc.

On the left and right sides of the Hokage, there are also two Hokage advisors and Shimura Danzo.

These people are sitting here to discuss the ninjas of the Mist Hidden who are constantly harassing their borders.

This ninja war is not over, but has entered a period of calm, both Konoha and Iwakure are seriously injured, but the remaining three parties of the five major ninja villages still have their strength left, and no one can be sure what the future will be.

"Who do you think is in charge of the mist ninja?" Ape Fei was in the lead, looking at the people on the left and right.

Everyone present looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to speak.

There are only two candidates for this so-called main general, Watergate and Orochimaru, everyone present knows it.

But at this moment, no one is the first to open their mouth to choose who they support.

Seeing that no one spoke, Sarufei looked at Jiraiya, who was still hanging his arm with a bandage on his right hand.

"Jiraiya, what do you think?"

Zilai was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and asked him to say that he was naturally a disciple who supported him.

But at this moment, Orochimaru was sitting opposite him, and what happened before made him feel guilty, and he couldn't answer Ape Fei's question at the moment.

"Or ...... I, I'm going? He said hesitantly.

Ape Fei was quite speechless: "Okay, don't die there like this." ”

Zilai immediately laughed dryly: "I said I wanted to go, but you didn't let me go." ”

Ape Fei didn't bother to pay attention to his evasive appearance, and looked at outsiders again.

Fugaku and Hizoku each sat in their places with their eyes closed, seemingly deaf to everything around them.

"I push the Watergate." Lu Jiu said suddenly at this time.

"In the battle with the Iwa Shinobi, everyone should know how the water gate performed, it is precisely because of the water gate that we can win again and again, and this war with the fog ninja Water Gate will definitely be able to successfully lead the defeat of the enemy."

Ape Fei nodded in satisfaction, and his gaze swept over the rest of the people: "Does anyone have any other ideas?" ”

There are deer who have been raising their heads for a long time, and many people present have spoken out in support of Watergate.

Orochimaru looked the same as usual, except that every time someone spoke, he glanced away.

"I think it should be Orochimaru-sama."

Eventually, there were different sounds in the room.

This man's reason was that Orochimaru had brought reinforcements in the previous battle with Iwa Shinobi, and he also claimed that if Orochimaru-sama had led them from the beginning, the battle with Iwa Shinobi would have been won.

His words also won a lot of supporters.

Listening to the voice of support for Orochimaru in the room, Tuan Zang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

But fortunately, the people who support Watergate and the people who support Orochimaru don't have any arguments with each other, they just simply explain their thoughts, and although they have their own supporters, they also respect the other of the two.

Seeing this, Ape Fei sighed secretly in his heart, he had already expected this meeting.

He had the intention of letting Mizumon be the main general, but he also knew that he would be dissatisfied with some people if he did so, and Orochimaru saved Konoha and everyone inherited his kindness.

He looked at Orochimaru and realized that he was also watching him.

After a little thought, Ape Fei spoke: "Orochimaru, what do you think ......?"

"I think it's better for Watergate to lead us to this battle." Orochimaru interrupted what Sarutobi was about to say.

As soon as these words came out, there was an instant uproar in the conference room, and everyone present was surprised, could this be the words that came out of Orochimaru's mouth?

Tuan Zang frowned instantly, his eyes became gloomy, he had specially reminded Orochimaru to fight for this position before, and now Orochimaru was going to give it up!

Shuimen sat there stunned for a long time, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly spoke: "No, I'm still inferior to Orochimaru's predecessors......"

"Watergate, you don't have to be humble." Orochimaru said with a light smile.

"You've been fighting side by side with everyone on the front line, and your fellow people in the village trust you more, and I believe you will definitely lead everyone to repel the Misty Shinobi."

Sarufei, Jiraiya, and other people who are familiar with Orochimaru seem to have reacquainted with Orochimaru, and their eyes are extremely surprised.

Sarufei thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of anything that Orochimaru could plot.

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya at this time and asked, "Jiraiya, what do you think?" ”

Jilai also reacted from his stunned gaze: "I...... Agree with your ideas. ”

Orochimaru's gaze swept over everyone present again: "Compared with Watergate, I am not suitable for this position, you don't need to recommend me, I believe that Watergate can do better than me." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and if it wasn't for the occasion, they couldn't help but whisper.

Ape Fei coughed lightly, and then made a decision.

"Since Orochimaru has said so, Wuyin's side will trouble Watergate."

Hearing this, Shuimen got up and bowed down and said, "Do your best!" ”

When the meeting dispersed, Orochimaru directly ignored Tuan Zang's incomparably cold gaze and left.

Looking at the crowd gathered in groups and whispering something, Orochimaru's heart was full of disdain, these people would never guess what he would do.

They are all in high positions, but their political acumen is pitifully low in Orochimaru's eyes.

In this regard, it really completely crushes them.

When he had this thought, he had already excluded himself.

Orochimaru thought that he just didn't bother to think about such things and be with them, and that it was enough to have real advice for him now.

On the side of the water gate, he left the Hokage Building with the three of them.

Lu Jiu was still frowning, thinking about Orochimaru's unpredictable behavior today.

Orochimaru also covets the position of Hokage, which is well known to everyone, what made him change his temper.

"Is it ......" Lu Jiu suddenly thought of something and muttered to himself.

"What's wrong?" Watergate asked.

Lu Jiu's face changed, and he whispered to Mizumon: "Have you forgotten why we were defeated when we fought against Iwa Shinobi? ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people changed their faces in unison.

Shuimen frowned lightly and said, "Lu Jiu, if you think so, you have determined that the matter of the inner ghost is related to the predecessor of Orochimaru." ”

Lu Jiu's meaning is very clear, the reason why Orochimaru gave up this position to Watergate is that he plans to secretly make some small moves in the rear to make Watergate fall on the front line.

Then he will play the role of savior again and reap all the fruits.

Lu Jiu said: "Watergate, the matter is big, and we can't afford to be careless. ”

Mizuto said: "If it is really the predecessor of Orochimaru, we must also come up with evidence, and then all the companions of Hokage-sama and Konoha will judge this sinner, if there is no evidence, everything is just our wild speculation, and we can't use this as a fact to speculate on other people's thoughts, since I am in this position, I will naturally do everything possible to bring victory to the village!" ”

Lu Jiu just smiled bitterly when he heard this, and he could only say beautiful words from Watergate, and they still had to do other things.
