Chapter 627

After Sarutobi's voice fell, the meeting room fell into a brief silence.

The selection of the Yondaime Hokage is a very serious and important topic, it's the change of power, it's not something that can be discussed casually, every suggestion needs to be put forward with caution.

"I propose that my disciple Minato Minato should succeed the Yondaime Hokage."

Amidst the silence, Jiraiya slowly opened his mouth.

He glanced at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru sat there indifferently, he didn't respond to Jiraiya's gaze.

Kaede sat at the corner of the table, holding a teacup in his hand, he put it to his mouth and gently sipped it, he didn't speak, he just looked at the scene in the meeting room.

The meeting room was silent.

The patriarchs of the major clans didn't speak, and no one spoke in a low voice.

"Minato Jonin is indeed suitable to be the Yondaime Hokage."

Finally, the second person spoke, it was Homura Mito who was sitting next to Sarutobi.

Along with Homura Mito's words, Koharu also expressed her support for Minato Minato, and then the elite Jonin in the meeting room also expressed their opinions.

However, there were also some people who didn't speak, their eyes were looking in the direction of Kaede and Orochimaru. Everyone knew the importance of Orochimaru and Kaede in this meeting room.

Uchiha Fugaku was also looking at Kaede.

The patriarchs of the other major clans also didn't immediately express their position.

And in front of everyone's eyes, Orochimaru stood up and said with a light smile, "… I support Minato Jonin as the Hokage."

This sentence made the entire meeting room fall into silence.

The patriarchs of the major clans looked at Orochimaru, and after seeing that Orochimaru didn't look like he was joking, they looked at each other, sighed, and then spoke.

When the patriarchs of the major clans also expressed their opinions, Sarutobi looked at Orochimaru, and Orochimaru also looked at Sarutobi, and the two's eyes met in the air.

Orochimaru smiled lightly.

His smile was relaxed.

As if he had completely let go of something.

A trace of guilt and apology flashed in Sarutobi's eyes, but it was only a flash, and then he took a deep breath, stood up, and said: "It seems that everyone's opinion is similar, then in a few days I will report the matter of Minato's Hokage to Daimyo-sama."

After Sarutobi's voice fell, Minato Minato also stood up and began to express to the people in the meeting room that he will definitely lead Konoha to prosperity and so on.

Feng Ye didn't listen.

He just looked at Orochimaru.

"In the end, he still didn't choose to go against his Sensei's opinion …"

Feng Ye murmured in his heart.

He probably guessed the reason why Orochimaru made this decision.

In this era, Minato Minato's performance was indeed better than Orochimaru's, and he won more support, including Sarutobi. And Sarutobi supported Minato Minato, so if Orochimaru wants to compete for the position of Yondaime Hokage, he will inevitably have to go against Sarutobi.

Orochimaru gave up.

Not in front of Sandaime Hokage, but in front of his former Sensei.

…

Hokage Building.

At the top.

Orochimaru left the meeting room and came to the edge of the building. From here, he could see the scenery of most of Konoha, and he could see the village thriving again after the war.

"You still gave up …"

Feng Ye appeared behind Orochimaru.

Orochimaru didn't turn around, but continued to look at Konoha and said: "Yuan Fei Sensei chose Minato, and I respect his choice, just like you respect my choice."

"In fact, Hokage is nothing. You see, just like those fallen leaves, withering in the flame … Compared to that, isn't eternity something that humans should pursue?"

Orochimaru's voice was very light.

Feng Ye sighed.

He knew that Orochimaru had completely put down Konoha and Sarutobi, and now he was spitting out the last trace of his emotions.

After that, Orochimaru became the Cold Prince Orochimaru who really made people tremble.

"If you want to be a Hokage, you can try."

Orochimaru turned around, and the tears in his eyes disappeared in the wind. He looked at Kaede and smiled. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared.

Feng Ye glanced at the enemy where Orochimaru disappeared, then looked up at the sky.

"Hokage …"

Feng Ye didn't choose to fight for Yondaime Hokage.

It wasn't because he was too young or anything like that, in the face of absolute strength, he could ignore it. There were only two reasons why he didn't fight for Yondaime Hokage, one was because Kakashi was a disciple of Minato, and the other was because he obtained the Flying Thunder God Technique from Minato.

Although it wasn't difficult for him to obtain the Flying Thunder God Technique, and it wasn't a big favor, Feng Ye wouldn't oppose Minato becoming a Hokage.

And.

He understood.

Minato becoming Yondaime Hokage is just the beginning.

"I won't oppose you becoming a Hokage, but I won't stand on your side either. If Konoha can't accept my existence, then it will be the beginning of my purge."

Feng Ye looked at the sky and murmured, then his figure flashed and disappeared.

…

Half a month later.

After obtaining the approval of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and completing the ceremony, Minato's succession as the Fourth Hokage was officially announced to the people of Konoha.

For this result, only a small number of ninjas who were loyal to Orochimaru expressed their opposition, but after learning that Orochimaru also supported Minato as the Hokage, the voices of opposition quietly disappeared.

Compared to the last time.

When Sarutobi Sarutobi succeeded the Hokage, there were many bloody conflicts within Konoha. This time, the succession can be said to be calm, and there was almost no internal strife because of it.

On the day when Minato officially succeeded the Hokage, Orochimaru didn't show up. He was just doing experiments in his base, and after learning the news, he only paused slightly.

"You should be satisfied with this result, Sensei Yuan …"

"But."

"I'm afraid Konoha won't be calm."

The current Konoha is deformed.

Danzo controls the Roots, and the two advisors control the finances of Konoha. Sarutobi Sarutobi won't hand over the Anbu to Minato, and he will continue to control Konoha.

It seems to be a balanced situation, but in fact, as long as there is a little thing that breaks the balance, everything will be immediately overturned.

And Maple.

It's the existence of imbalance.

Orochimaru has already seen this, but it has nothing to do with him. He has only one goal now, and that is to obtain eternal life.
