Chapter 228 Return! ?

In addition to the changes in teaching significance, the basic rules of the ninja school have also been adjusted by Orochimaru.

In the Book of Ninja, except for forbidden techniques and some powerful but difficult to control ninjutsu, all ninjutsu below level B are open to ninja school students.

Students who have passed the assessment and made contributions can borrow these ninjutsu even if they have not become Genin during their studies at the ninja school.

As soon as this rule came out, Konoha was in an uproar, and everyone shouted "Long live Hokage!"

After hearing about the changes in the ninja school, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed repeatedly.

As a person with similar thoughts to the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, Hiruzen believed that emotions were one of the most powerful weapons of a ninja.

He did so, but the village did not develop for the better. Instead, it gradually declined with the death of the second-generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

The most fundamental reason is that the first and second generations have powerful deterrent power, and Konoha has been incorporated into major families, and its strength is at its peak, so it works.

But now that Senju Tobirama is dead, all the major families have their own ulterior motives. Although they have not rebelled, there are many cases of them working without putting in any effort.

This means that most of the ninja work must be shared by civilian ninjas.

However, civilian ninjas have few resources, and their strength is far inferior to that of family ninjas who have various secret techniques and a comprehensive grasp of ordinary ninjutsu.

As a result, civilian ninjas became cannon fodder, and the spirit of dedication became a spiritual poison that had to be consumed.

Hiruzen couldn't tell whether Orochimaru's changes were good or bad. After all, before the changes, Konoha under his command was not very good, and after the changes, there was no effect.

But it is definitely too late to regret.

"I hope you're right, Orochimaru..."

At this time, Orochimaru was in the Uchiha clan's residence.

The other families were easy to deal with, except the Uchiha family. It was rumored that everyone in this family had a rebellious nature. After Orochimaru became the Fourth Hokage, he could finally investigate this with good reason.

Without waiting for Fugaku to find Orochimaru, Orochimaru drafted the reform document in the Hokage's office and came here right after, determined to do it himself.

"Patriarch Fugaku, you are in such a refined mood, hehe..."

Although he became the Hokage, Orochimaru still couldn't change his gloomy look, and the hood of the Hokage hat just happened to cover his face.

This caused him to laugh, causing Fugaku to drop the teacup from his hand.

He was scared not only because Orochimaru suddenly appeared, but also because Fugaku was thinking about how to communicate with Orochimaru, but he suddenly appeared in front of his face!

"Sir... Fourth-generation, why did you come to our clan's residence in person? Please come in."

Fugaku didn't care about the teacup, and quickly stood up and helped Orochimaru into the house.

"If I don't come, Chief Fugaku won't come looking for me?"

"Uh, hey, look at what the Fourth Hokage said. I was just thinking about preparing some gifts, but I never thought you would come to my house in person."

Fugaku chuckled.

Once upon a time, Fugaku and Orochimaru were commanders of their respective battlefields, and everyone was equal.

But now, Orochimaru's road is almost coming to an end, and Fugaku's road still depends on Orochimaru opening a door for him.

"Enough of the small talk, Chief Fugaku, you and I are both quite intelligent. I have just taken over the position of Hokage and have a lot to do. Come, I only want to ask one thing, Uchiha, what do you think of me as Hokage?"

There is a lot of meaning in this statement.

Orochimaru seemed to be asking Uchiha, but he was actually asking Fugaku.

It seems like he is asking Fugaku, but in fact he is deciding the future of Uchiha.

How do you see it? The Uchiha are not blind. When Orochimaru came to power, his popularity surpassed Sarutobi Hiruzen. How can the Uchiha see it? Isn't it Orochimaru who decides?

Although the brain-rotten elders in the clan are still stubborn and cannot be restrained, the one who has the final say among the Uchiha clan now is Uchiha Fugaku.

"The Fourth Hokage's prestige is high enough, and his support within the village is unprecedented. I think he doesn't need the Uchiha's opinion... all he needs is the Uchiha's unwavering support."

Fugaku said this beautifully, both hard and soft, and his attitude was clearly expressed.

I, Uchiha, will just follow you!

Mr. Gu Zang said that we should discuss it properly. Isn’t it discussed now? The Uchiha can’t rebel. As long as you, Orochimaru, give us a way, we can temporarily be on the same page!

"Very well, Chief Fugaku, I have reserved a position for you, Uchiha, as the Chief of the Anbu Operations Department. You... act according to your ability."

Orochimaru chuckled, turned around and walked out of the room.

The purpose is clear and there is no procrastination at all.

Before Fugaku could react, Orochimaru had already left.

Fugaku felt a little lost.

He had not had much contact with Orochimaru.

However, he really admired the character that Orochimaru was currently displaying.

Orochimaru is smart, decisive, powerful and reliable. Even the Uchiha clan cannot find any major faults with such a Hokage.

Fugaku originally wanted to communicate more with Orochimaru.

Even if the matter doesn't come to fruition, it's okay to communicate about feelings.

How could he have imagined that Orochimaru had no feelings at all. After getting the job done, he put on his pants and left, leaving Fugaku feeling a little unsatisfied.

As for the position of captain-in-chief of the Anbu Operations Department, Fugaku really wants to take it!

That is the highest level that the Uchiha clan can reach in Konoha at present, and the peak that he, as the clan leader of this generation, can reach!

Unfortunately, Fugaku was very clear-headed.

He still remembered that Mr. Kozo had told him to ask Shisui to contact Orochimaru.

That means he himself is absolutely unqualified to sit in that position.

Even if they could sit on it, they would not be able to sit firmly and it would be easy for the Uchiha to bring about fatal disaster.

The position of captain-general can only belong to Shisui, maybe in the future it will belong to Itachi, or maybe, in the future, it will belong to the Anbu, or even the Hokage...

Fugaku was already imagining the future.

After all, the Uchiha will be completely integrated into Konoha in this generation. So with the strength of their bloodline and their closeness to the Hokage lineage, will the Hokage... still be out of reach?

After Orochimaru returned to the Hokage's office, he wrote and drew on the desk.

The planning of the dark part is basically completed.

In addition, the planning of the new Hokage guards, Hokage assistants, and the orphanage has not been fully completed.

But these are not urgent matters yet, you can take your time.

Too many reforms at once can easily cause a lot of backlash.

Orochimaru took a deep breath and called over Anko.

"Hongdou, come with me to Konoha Hospital to see Kawanzo. Aren't you worried about that kid?"

"Who's thinking about that annoying guy? I'm just thinking about the meatballs he took out last time!"

Orochimaru chuckled and didn't point out Hongdou.

Is there any difference between the two kinds of thoughts?

Orochimaru takes Red Bean to Kaichuanzo, but the person he wants to see is not Kaichuanzo, but Konoha's living fossil, the god of summoning beasts, the true old man, Mr. Gu Zang.

Boss, you always appear last.

Orochimaru gave enough face to Gu Zang.

But before Orochimaru could leave, the Anbu ninja flashed in.

"Yondaime-sama, Hiruhu has returned."

......

(I was reading the comments out of boredom, and the sky fell. Why are there still so many readers talking about spirit beasts and so on? I have explained it countless times, both explicitly and implicitly, that Gu Zang is not a spirit beast o(╥﹏╥)o.

The identity of the summoned beast was created because Hashirama summoned it, and Kozo was kicked out, so the people of Konoha assumed it. This identity could survive in Tobirama's hands, and it could be profitable and hidden, with many advantages, so Kozo would definitely use it, but he is not one of them. Even Kawase's summoned spirit was disguised as Flying Thunder God!
