Chapter 299 The Hokage Position Is Passed to You

The Third Hokage had just arrived at Orochimaru's territory.

Kagura saw it immediately with Kagura's inner eye, and immediately reported it to Orochimaru.

At this time, Orochimaru had just performed surgery on Kakashi.

After hearing the news, he had no intention of going out to greet the Hokage.

Instead, he told Kakashi:

"Your cloned eye was just created and is still relatively fragile."

"There is still a period of adaptation, about half a month to a month."

“Don’t overuse your eyes during this time.”

Kakashi could finally see with both eyes.

Unlike the Sharingan transplanted before, these were his own eyes without any burden.

He no longer has to cover his eyes every day.

You don't have to worry about not having enough chakra to use.

After Orochimaru's previous enlightenment and the kindness of cloning eyes.

Kakashi is now closer to Orochimaru.

And Kakashi is still thinking about the reincarnation of the dirty land.

But he also heard what Xiang Rin said just now, and knew that the Third Hokage was coming.

He can only come to Lord Orochimaru next time.

Kakashi walked out with his eyes wrapped in gauze, and bumped into the Hokage who came in.

"Hokage-sama."

Kakashi was stunned for a moment before saying hello, but some unknown emotions flashed in his eyes.

"Is Orochimaru in there?"

The Third Hokage couldn't care about Kakashi at this time.

After getting a positive reply from Kakashi, he walked inside.

Kakashi looked back and left.

Orochimaru was arranging the equipment. Kakashi's eye replacement surgery was just a minor operation for him.

What he cares more about is that the cloned eyeballs will eventually return to a state of the body.

Kakashi's eyes lingered for a long time, also because Orochimaru had been collecting data for a long time.

Now in another laboratory, Fugaku's cloned eyes are being cultivated.

Itachi's Sharingan is also merging with the Eternal Eye.

The last bit of data on Kakashi's side is simply not needed.

Orochimaru replaced Kakashi directly.

"Orochimaru."

The third generation walked in, and there was no ANBU behind him.

Orochimaru didn't even raise his head: "Old man, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Orochimaru's unhurried look, the Sandai breathed out slowly.

"Uchiha has taken action."

After hearing this, Orochimaru raised his head: "What did Natsuki do?"

The Third Hokage told Uchiha about his money-spending behavior.

"And the Uchiha clan has already bribed the Hyuga clan."

"There are already some rumors circulating in the village."

The Hyuga clan's rumors were very clever, just starting with the villagers.

Guide the villagers to tell some facts.

For example, the three generations have been in power for too long and have been reluctant to delegate power.

For example, the third generation allowed Danzo to do bad things, causing Konoha to suffer huge losses.

Danzo was arrested, but he was held on a separate floor, and finally ran away, among other things.

You know, there are ANBU under the Hokage.

If you talk nonsense, you can be arrested.

But what others are discussing are facts. You can't arrest all the villagers.

Orochimaru chuckled: "Old man, you are in trouble, this is a conspiracy by Uchiha."

Natsuki just revealed to Orochimaru that he was ready to make friends with the major ninja clans.

The specific method was not told to Orochimaru, and Orochimaru didn't care at the time.

Now after hearing the news about the Third Hokage, Orochimaru knew that Natsuki was more direct.

First, he bribed the Hyuga clan and spread factual information that was unfavorable to the third generation.

Then directly throw money at each ninja clan to bribe them.

It just so happened that the Third Hokage didn't have any good ideas.

Seeing Orochimaru like this, the third generation changed his mind and said to Orochimaru:

"You just watch Uchiha win people's hearts like this? The way Uchiha looks now, he is coming with bad intentions."

Everything Uchiha did was basically a conspiracy, and the third generation could see through what Uchiha wanted to do at a glance.

But the reason why Yangmou is so powerful is because you can't target it.

You can only do it head-on.

And now the third generation obviously wants to put his treasure on Orochimaru.

But Orochimaru just shook his head and said:

"Now Fugaku and Itachi still have to rely on me to clone their eyes. They can only beg me."

The Third Hokage felt a little helpless when he saw Orochimaru's lack of interest.

After Orochimaru deceived Uchiha, his hostility towards Uchiha was no longer deep.

After all, Uchiha suffered the loss of being dumb.

In terms of subsequent shares, Orochimaru can continue to cheat Uchiha.

Now Orochimaru is not short of funds and has a place.

He just stays in the laboratory every day, doing his experiments, and doesn't care about other things.

After Orochimaru came back, the Third Hokage also observed him for a long time.

The results of his observations made him happy and sad.

Happily, Orochimaru's intelligence and scheming abilities are obviously comparable to Natsuki's.

The sad thing is that Orochimaru is not interested in power at all.

I am more obsessed with experiments now than I was then.

In the past, they would still do tasks, and some people would spontaneously follow Orochimaru.

Orochimaru still has many followers behind him.

Orochimaru is no longer on a mission now.

There are only two or three kittens around him, and besides Guard No. 1, there are only a few children.

So until now, the Third Hokage has never asked Orochimaru whether he wants to be Hokage or not.

But today, the Third Hokage suddenly figured it out.

Even if Orochimaru doesn't want to be Hokage, he can be pushed out, as long as he holds the power in his own hands.

Just like pushing the Fourth Hokage out back then.

"Orochimaru, I want to pass the position of Hokage to you."

The Third Hokage said in a deep voice.

Orochimaru was stunned: "Old man, did you take the wrong medicine?"

But the Third Hokage's face was very serious, and there was no intention of joking at all.

Orochimaru slowly frowned, and then snorted.

He said unhappily: "Didn't you think Minato was better than me back then? Now you want me to be Hokage?"

The Third Hokage sighed in his heart, and Orochimaru really hated the fact that he didn't support him back then.

Orochimaru is extremely arrogant, he can refuse, but you can't not give it to him.

Orochimaru didn't necessarily want the position of Hokage back then, but the Third Hokage's actions at the time made Orochimaru very dissatisfied.

The Third Hokage was old and shrewd, and there was no situation where he couldn't put down his face at this time.

He said directly:

"I was wrong about what happened back then. I just realized now that you are the most suitable candidate to be Hokage."

Seeing that Orochimaru's expression was slightly relieved, the Third Hokage added:

"Look, if you become Hokage, you can read all kinds of secret techniques and secret books, and all kinds of precious experimental materials can be easily obtained."

Seeing that Orochimaru showed an interested look.

The Third Hokage continued:

"If you do experiments alone, how can you catch up with the progress of a team? You can set up an experimental team when you become the Hokage."

"When the time comes, we will have people and resources. Whatever you want to study, it will be done quickly."

Orochimaru was obviously tempted, but after thinking for a moment, he gave up and shook his head:

"What you said is good, old man, but I see you work in the Hokage's office all day long."

"If I were the Hokage, how would I have time to do experiments."

The Third Hokage hoped that Orochimaru would not be interested in these things, and hurriedly said:

"This matter is simple, I will help you deal with these official duties first."

"Except for the more important communication with you, you can do your experiments at ease at other times, and no one will disturb you."

"When you want to take over in the future, I will hand it over to you."

Orochimaru seemed to think it was not bad when he heard this:

"Okay, old man. I don't care about the voting, you go and do it."

Seeing that Orochimaru agreed, the Third Hokage was also relieved.

Orochimaru asked, "How are you going to deal with Uchiha?"

Since the Third Hokage insisted on making him the Hokage, there must be something about him that can deal with Uchiha's money-spending tactics.

The Third Hokage asked, "How effective is your cloning technology for cloning limbs?"

Orochimaru chuckled, "Old man, cloning limbs is a very simple thing, but there is also a chance of failure."

"The cost of stimulating the birth of organs is not cheap, and it is not something that ordinary ninjas can afford."

The Third Hokage was relieved and said with a smile, "It's much lower than the training costs of those elites."

"It would be nice if you could find me more living experimental materials."

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and turned it around.

The Third Hokage said, "Most of the people who withdraw from the battle sequence in Konoha every year are disabled."

"If your cloning technology can be improved, Konoha can increase its combat power."

"Old man, think about it. If the cloning technology is exposed, other ninja villages may covet it."

After all, being able to restore broken limbs can directly save many disabled ninjas.

Every ninja village has a lot of disabled people every year.

The Third Hokage was very satisfied that Orochimaru was still thinking about the village.

He nodded comfortingly: "This is the only way now. As long as the threshold is high enough, other ninja villages will not covet it."

Orochimaru nodded: "Okay, you arrange it. I'm busy cloning Fugaku and Itachi's eyes recently."
