34 Subsequent Impact

"Your Excellency, you..."

Although he was dissatisfied with his attitude towards Orochimaru, he had been a Hokage for so many years. There was no need to say more about his contributions and hard work. Hearing the other party take the initiative to admit his mistake and accept his punishment, some of the Konoha Ninjas presents could not bear it.

But at this moment, they were all interrupted by Hiruzen.

He was not pretending. Wrong was wrong. He was willing to bear all the consequences.

In addition, he took the initiative to express the end of his political life and transferred Konoha's power to Yuki.

In fact, after letting Orochimaru go, he already had such an understanding in his heart, but he didn't expect that Yuki would act so quickly.

The younger generation is really formidable!

Hiruzen looked at Yuki. With his decades of experience, how could he not see the shadow of the other party behind everything that happened today?

He only chose the path of no return and could not blame anyone else.

Moreover, the current Konoha Village could no longer afford to waste time.

"Yuki, I'll leave Konoha to you." With a trace of disappointment and frustration, Hiruzen finally let go of everything and looked at Yuki solemnly.

"I guarantee that Konoha will prosper in my hands." Yuki also looked at him.

This was the real power transfer between the 3rd and the 4th.

On the side, Hyuga, Uchiha, Nara, Ryo, Akira, Aburame, and the other leaders, as well as Konoha's famous Jonins like Minato, Shinku, etc., as representatives, witnessed this scene.

At this point, Yuki's plan was successful.

From today on, he truly controlled the power of Konoha, becoming the 4th Hokage.

After a simple but grand ceremony, Konoha's people left without any reluctance.

On the way, Hiruzen finally learned about the awakening of the Wood Style. He was shocked, and at the same time, he thought of the 1st Hokage.

Maybe he can really make Konoha more glorious!

Thinking of this, Hiruzen felt more at ease.

An hour later.

They were left behind in the vast battlefield where Yuki and Orochimaru fought, which was full of devastation.

A small white snake, the size of a palm, suddenly emerged from the corpse of a snake that was cut in half by Yuki at the very beginning. Its golden vertical pupils were full of complex emotions as it looked toward Konoha and finally disappeared into the sea of trees.

...

Originally, there should not have been any twists and turns in the first half of the year of Konoha.

However, Yuki's arrival made the first half of the year particularly unusual because, during this period, two major events that shook the world occurred.

One was that Orochimaru, one of the three Konoha Ninjas, defected and was killed.

The second was that the 4th Hokage of Konoha awakened the Wood Style.

These two things quickly spread when Yuki and a group of Konoha Ninjas returned to the village.

For a time, it became the talk of everyone.

Konoha, Root Base.

He hid most of his body in the darkness and did not move for a long time until the oily female dragon horse came in and reported,

"Lord Danzo, all the related laboratories have been closed, and the documents on the side of the human body experiment have been destroyed."

"I know." Danzo pressed his hands on the head and said in a deep voice, "Get the people from Root to move the experimental equipment out as soon as possible. Since the risk of the experiment in Konoha and even the Land of Fire is very high, then move to the surrounding small countries. In addition, tell them to be careful on the road. Yuki Senju has been trying to catch me. You should know that now is not the time for Hiruzen to be in power."

At last, when he mentioned Hiruzen, Danzo's eyes were obviously strange.

He never thought that his old friend, who had been struggling with him for so many years, would be seized by a junior.

And it was under such a simple plan.

So, Hiruzen, are you really old? But I won't accept old age! Back then, I wouldn't have waited until now if I weren't so slow.

Danzo muttered to himself in his heart and then asked: "Have you investigated Orochimaru's matter? Are you sure he is dead?"

Ryoma's face remained expressionless, and he said: "We've checked the place where the 4th Kage and Orochimaru fought, but we didn't find any special marks left behind by the latter. We saw it with our eyes, and Root confirmed that Orochimaru's death is true."

"What a pity! Although Orochimaru has his own ideas from time to time, I have to admit that he has unparalleled talent in research." Danzo said with sincere regret.

In his opinion, all the researchers in Root couldn't beat half of Orochimaru's talents.

For this reason, when he learned that the latter had defected, he was even willing to take the risk of sending Root Ninjas to help.

However, he was still a step too slow.

In this way, Root's research would undoubtedly be much slower, even to the point of stagnation.

Danzo's left hand subconsciously touched his right arm, which was tightly wrapped in bandages, and a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes. "In that case, how is the investigation on the wood style of Yuki Senju?"

Talking about the wood style, there was a rare fluctuation on Ryoma's face. "Very strong! Very strong! This is the conclusion that A personally went to the battle arena. He also said that his wood style effect might not even be half as good as the fourth generation goal."

"A fake is ultimately fake."

Danzo shook his head in disappointment and said, "During this time, let Root remain silent."

"Yes."

...

In the Sarutobi clan, in the family of Hiruzen.

As a second-generation Hokage disciple, Mitokado Homura, who had decades of friendship with Danzo, went to bed with Koharu, and Sarutobi also gathered together.

"Hiruzen, you are confused!" In the living room, Homura was very excited.

As a fellow member of the 3rd, he was also related to the interests of the 3rd, and the loss of Hiruzen was also a heavy blow to the two consultants of Konoha.

He did not think that without the 3rd's shackles, his two consultants could still greatly impact Konoha's Yuki Senju in the event of a major event.

Especially after the latter had the Wood Style, which could be called the symbol of Konoha, and had killed Orochimaru, one of the three Ninjas.

At this time, the reason why Homura was confused was not that he wanted to give him power.

It was already a certainty in that situation, and there was no way to change it.

What really made him upset was the fact that Hiruzen let Orochimaru go.

If not for this incident, there wouldn't have been a forced marriage in the first place.

In the past, he was always happy that his old friend was soft-hearted and could let his old friends control more power.

But now, this soft-heartedness welcomed a backlash, making him feel indignant.

At this moment, facing the accusations of his old friend, Hiruzen just smoked his pipe expressionlessly.

Although he had previously proposed to accept punishment, he was still the 3rd Hokage for many years. In the end, Yuki did not make things difficult for him and left him with dignity to let him truly enjoy his retirement life.

Soon, the pungent smell of smoke filled the room, making Homura, who was about to say something, cough hard as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Enough, Homura." "Now that things have come to this let's think about what to do next."

Then, the two of them continued to discuss this topic.

Hiruzen did not speak. He only took out the crystal ball that he had always treasured and placed it into the box. Then, he called Hiruzen's clansman over and handed it over to the other party.

"Hand this over to the fourth-generation leader. Tell him that it is my gift to him."

"Yes." The Sarutobi clan took the box and turned to leave.

Seeing this, the two Konoha consultants stopped talking and looked at each other. "Hiruzen, what do you think we should do next?"

"What should we do?" Hiruzen looked at the two people and finally said, "I have an example. I think you can learn."

"Who?"

"The two advisers of the Sand Ninja Village."
