Ninja World: I, Uchiha Nan, will defeat all who disobey me.

Chapter 153 New Candidate

Jiraiya looked in disbelief at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was standing there with a look of regret on his face.

"Teacher, what are you doing? Why did you let Orochimaru escape?!"

After hearing Jiraiya's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said nothing, but just looked into the distance.

After all, Orochimaru was the child he raised, and he really couldn't bear to execute him with his own hands.

"Hey"

Jiraiya sighed and understood his teacher's complicated feelings. Even if he caught Orochimaru with his own hands, could he have the heart to execute him?

But he absolutely could not tolerate Orochimaru escaping like this.

He flashed and broke through the barrier, chasing after Orochimaru, leaving only a voice echoing in the area.

"Teacher, I'm going to catch Orochimaru. If I can't find him, I won't come back."

"Jiraiya" Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his arm and scratched, and for a moment the expression on his face was extremely wonderful.

After the incident with Orochimaru, who was originally the most suitable person to become the Fourth Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very upset.

Now even Jiraiya has left Konoha because of this incident.

The village suddenly lost two Kage-level fighters.

Everything that happened made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel like he had suffered a major blow and couldn't accept it.

His originally straight figure became hunched over, as if he had aged 10 years in an instant.

But he has no right to be sad or upset, because all his actions were the result of his indulgence.

Now all Sarutobi Hiruzen can do is force himself to cheer up and think about what to do next.

On the other side, Orochimaru touched the wound on his abdomen, glanced in the direction of the village, fell silent, turned around and left without saying a word.

"Lord Orochimaru, is that all?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Orochimaru turned around abruptly, tensed his muscles, and looked around carefully.

"Don't be afraid Lord Orochimaru, but I mean no harm to you. I just came to see you, my old friend, before you leave."

Uchiha Nan jumped down from the trunk of a big tree and stood in front of Orochimaru, looking at him with a smile on his face.

It was as if he was not the mastermind behind Orochimaru's embarrassing escape and this situation.

“Nanjun, you betrayed me.” He recalled the miserable scene of himself being chased like a stray dog.

Orochimaru clenched his teeth and stared at the smiling man in front of him.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Lord Orochimaru? This was all done by Danzo. It has nothing to do with me."

"I just accidentally intercepted this information. I couldn't bear to see Lord Orochimaru become a traitor, so I came to see you specially."

Uchiha Minami stared at Orochimaru without fear, as if the person in front of him was not a dangerous poisonous snake, but a hyena with bared fangs and claws.

"Hmph, you don't have to pretend. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it is really Danzo who did it, then I will naturally repay him well."

"But if I find out that you did this..."

After making these harsh words, Orochimaru said nothing more to Uchiha Nando. He turned around and left, fleeing to an unknown direction.

Not long after Orochimaru left, Jiraiya came galloping over with a gloomy face.

Seeing Uchiha Nan standing there with a leisurely look on his face, he suddenly became angry and asked in a stern voice:

"Kid, did you see Orochimaru just now?"

"I saw Lord Jiraiya. Lord Orochimaru even greeted me very friendly."

Uchiha Nan spread his hands, not caring about Jiraiya's attitude towards him at all, and explained with a smile

"Asshole, why didn't you stop him? Don't you know he's a traitor to the village?"

Jiraiya took a step forward and stared into Uchiha Nan's eyes as if he wanted to see something.

"Are you his accomplice? Did you participate in all his human experiments?"

Uchiha Nan looked at Jiraiya, who had lost his usual calmness and was biting randomly.

He couldn't help but sneer and tapped his chest with a finger.

"Master Jiraiya, please don't wrongly accuse a good person."

"First, I have indeed not received any news about Lord Orochimaru's betrayal."

Indeed, Sarutobi Hiruzen had just asked the village's Anbu to spread the news.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Uchiha Nan to know it in advance.

Jiraiya was speechless after hearing his answer.

"Second, what is human experimentation? I've never heard of it."

Jiraiya was forced to take a few steps back by Uchiha Nan's unyielding attitude, his face full of unwillingness.

He knew clearly that there were loopholes in Uchiha Nan's words.

For example, why did he appear outside the village's barrier without permission?

Why was he not surprised at all when he heard the news of Orochimaru's defection, as if he had known about it for a long time?

But Jiraiya knew in his heart that now was not the time to pursue this matter, his top priority now was to find Orochimaru and bring him back to the village.

Let the old man and the others take care of everything else.

Jiraiya, who had figured it out, just glanced at Uchiha Minami and continued to follow the clues he had found.

Uchiha Nan stood there and smiled silently in the direction they left.

"The fun has just begun."

On the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to the office with a forced smile and drafted a wanted order for Orochimaru.

Then he sat on a chair and took out the information about this war, intending to study who had more outstanding achievements and was qualified to run for the Fourth Hokage.

After automatically filtering all information about Uchiha Nan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally discovered his apprentice Minato Namikaze, and remembered the husband of this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Although this time it was because Uchiha Minami intervened in the Third Ninja World War.

It did not make Minato as famous in the ninja world as in the original work.

But at that time, he led the ninja troops to repel the Sand Village and gained the upper hand over the AB combination that once defeated the Cloud Village.

This also spread his name of Yellow Flash within a certain range.

He is the most outstanding person of the new generation after Uchiha Minami.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was faced with a dilemma of choosing a general from among the short men he had no choice of, finally decided on him.

He immediately sent someone to call two advisors, and the three of them discussed it carefully. In the end, they unanimously decided to choose Minato Namikaze, who was easier to control, as the Fourth Hokage.

After all, he doesn't have many supporters in the village, and he will have to rely on them for everything after becoming Hokage.

This is simply the most suitable candidate for the Fourth Hokage.

Afterwards, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Utane Koharu and Mitokado En to leave, and sent someone to call Minato.

At the Minato family, Minato Namikaze, who was about to get intimate with Uzumaki Kushina, was abruptly interrupted by the Anbu.

After receiving an elbow from Kushina who looked unhappy.

Namikaze Minato covered his chest and followed the Anbu ninja to the Hokage's office.

As soon as they met, Sarutobi Hiruzen greeted him warmly, took his hand and pulled him to the chair.

"Minato, you're here, come and sit down!"

Minato Namikaze was just a grandson before, and had never seen such a scene.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen had always been nice to him before, it was only superficial politeness.

Now that he has adopted this attitude, even Minato Namikaze can’t deal with him.
