Chapter 151 Resignation
For a moment, loud laughter rang out in the office.
The next day, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately gathered the villagers and issued an apology.
In front of the square of Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on the stage with a sad expression on his face, allowing the villagers below to point and criticize him, as if he would not fight back or retaliate.
However, a four-sided barrier was set up around the podium to prevent a real riot or the villagers from throwing eggs, stones, etc.
At the beginning of the speech, Sarutobi Hiruzen first displayed the spirit of a craftsman by bowing three times.
Then he had a sad expression on his face, opened his mouth and mobilized chakra to transmit his voice to the distance.
"Everyone, I am the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and I am also the sinner in your mouth."
"These days I have deeply realized my crimes and have conducted serious self-examination,"
"Bilibili Balabala"
"I have made a decision hereby that I will step down as Hokage."
"Wow, really?"
"You should have abdicated long ago!"
After Sarutobi Hiruzen announced his decision, there was a lot of chaos in the audience.
Those who lost their loved ones in the war wished Sarutobi Hiruzen would die.
Although he heard his words of abdication, he still could not forgive him and started cursing at him.
"**horse,***"
"stupid*****"
When some people are happy, there will naturally be people who are unhappy.
They had been brainwashed by Sarutobi Hiruzen for a long time and had become his diehard fans, and today they heard his words.
They fell to their knees one by one, begging him to retract his decision.
"Sir, the Leaf Village cannot live without you!"
"You are the hero of Konoha, lighting up the whole village. How would we survive without you?"
Amid the noisy voices below, Sarutobi Hiruzen made his decision with tears in his eyes.
He took off the Hokage robe and the Hokage hat and gave them to Utane Koharu for safekeeping.
"Everyone, no more. I will have someone else take over the position of Hokage. You don't have to be sad."
"Why don't you open your eyes, get yourself together and look forward to the village's Fourth Hokage?"
"Each of you is a member of the village and has the authority to oversee the Hokage."
There was a lot of noise from the audience.
Uchiha Minami, who was sitting at home, also received information sent back by Tsunade and Nara Shikaku.
After knowing everything that happened today, he couldn't help but smile softly.
"Lord Orochimaru, do you want to become Hokage, ha."
Uchiha Nan has not forgotten the "kind" reminder he gave to Orochimaru on the battlefield of Iwagakure Village.
Then he clapped his hands and summoned a white dove to tell Danzo Shimura that it was time to proceed with the next plan.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, do you think the position of Hokage is so easy to decide?
You will be happy only when you get the information about Orochimaru and you and your master become enemies.
Two days later
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the information handed to him by an Anbu member with trembling hands.
It records in detail the human experiment projects conducted by Orochimaru, how many people are consumed every day, and the identities of these people.
After seeing the above research on Hashirama's cells and the Sharingan, Sarutobi Hiruzen was already very angry.
After seeing that these experiments required the death of more than a dozen people every day, he was very disappointed with this disciple.
As for the matter of choosing him to be the Fourth Hokage, it was completely forgotten.
If he became Hokage, who knows how many people would die in vain at his hands.
But after seeing the last one, Orochimaru actually used the ninjas in the village as experimental consumables.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes went dark and he fell down on the chair behind him, almost fainting.
"What a traitor! How could I raise such a disciple?"
For a moment, Sarutobi Hiru was filled with murderous intent and was thinking about killing Orochimaru to avenge those who died tragically at his hands.
But in the end, he still thought of the scene when he adopted Orochimaru as a child and accompanied him as he grew up step by step.
His clenched fists suddenly loosened, his body leaned back on the back of the chair, and he let out a long breath.
After a long time
Sarutobi Hiruzen straightened up, found an Anbu ninja, sealed the scroll in his hand and prepared to throw it to him.
But after thinking about it, he gave up and put it on his desk.
"Go inform Jiraiya and have him come to my office immediately."
"It's Hokage-sama."
Nowadays, all the people in the Anbu are loyal to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
So even though he was no longer the Third Hokage, they still respectfully addressed him as Hokage.
After a while, Jiraiya, looking impatient and in a somewhat dishevelled state, arrived at the Hokage's office.
He thought he was an old man and wanted to persuade him to stay in the village and take over the position of Hokage.
So as soon as he came in, he started yelling impatiently.
"What's the hurry, old man? Even my collection of materials for the intimate paradise was interrupted by the Anbu."
But after he finished speaking, he found that the old man did not scold him, but sat there with a gloomy face as if his father had died.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, did something big happen?
When he came closer, Sarutobi Hiruzen threw a scroll into his hand.
Jiraiya didn't waste any time, he opened it and looked at it carefully.
But after a moment he understood why the old man's expression became like this.
At the end, Jiraiya's face was full of disbelief. He was unwilling to accept this fact. He looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with trembling body.
"The old man told me it was fake."
"Although I also hope this is false, Jiraiya, the fact is the fact and cannot be changed."
Sarutobi Hiruzen answered Jiraiya in a low voice, breaking his last bit of luck.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"You follow me to capture Orochimaru. We must not let him escape from the village."
Move the time forward one hour
Uchiha Minami hid his body and sneaked to Orochimaru's experimental base.
He threw a fire-style ninjutsu to blow up a stone door, then left a scroll and ran away.
