Chapter 147: The Reason

Konohagakure Rooftop

"Fifth Hokage?"

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows and laughed. He looked at the fallen Third Hokage and never thought that this old guy would be so stupid as to directly appoint Naruto as the Fifth Hokage.

Not to mention whether Naruto is willing or not, even if he is willing, the people in the village probably won't accept it.

Wait...

If the Third Hokage's purpose was not to make Naruto the Fifth Hokage, but to use his own mouth to nominate Naruto to clear up the problem of his identity, and to pave the way for him to become the Sixth or Seventh Hokage in a few years, wouldn't that become much more reasonable?

This old man, he thinks a lot!

Compared to becoming the Fifth Hokage itself, his words are more of a nomination, allowing Naruto to have the qualification to become Hokage. This qualification is the really important thing.

And even if Naruto agrees, those people like Danzo will definitely not let him easily succeed the Fifth Hokage, and will raise various objections, spreading unfavorable remarks about Naruto all over the sky. Danzo will not even care about Naruto's own wishes, and will definitely take the initiative to attack.

In the future, contradictions are bound to arise!

The Third Hokage saw this point clearly and acted accordingly. No one understands Danzo better than him. Just when the contradictions are about to explode, he just needs to casually activate his backup plan, letting his subordinates expose Danzo and others' dark secrets in a coincidental way...

The scene would be explosive!

The final result is probably that Naruto will still not succeed as the Fifth Hokage, but he will gain the understanding and sympathy of others through various events. The current high-level officials of Konohagakure, on the other hand, will gradually lose the support of the people, and they will not be able to become candidates for the Hokage of Konohagakure. At the same time, they will also lose control over Konohagakure and control over the future situation.

In this way, the real Fifth Hokage in the future will have a lot of convenience in political handling. When considering the succession of the Sixth Hokage, they will consider Naruto, allowing him to have his own choice at that time, rather than directly becoming the Fifth Hokage now.

So that's how it is? Hehe...

Orochimaru laughed, looking at the peacefully fallen body of the Third Hokage, and said in a hoarse voice, "I really didn't expect it, old man, you would actually do such a thing one day, it's really interesting."

"After your death, the Fifth Hokage of Konohagakure will not fall into Naruto's hands, but their choices are only Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kakashi. No matter who among these three, they are all related to Naruto."

"Jiraiya is the teacher of Naruto's father, Tsunade also has a good relationship with Namikaze Minato, and Kakashi is Naruto's guiding Jonin, with full relationship points. In addition, whether it's Jiraiya or Tsunade, they are all dissatisfied with the current political situation of Konohagakure's high-level officials, they just haven't said it directly. If they really have this opportunity, they might make some reforms during their tenure, and try to reuse Naruto as much as possible."

"If Naruto shows a little willingness, then he will be able to easily become the Sixth Hokage when his predecessors clear obstacles for him, it's just that the time will be extended a bit. If he doesn't want to, Konohagakure will not fall into decline because of this, because the new pattern has been opened."

"It's perfect!"

After a brief sigh, Orochimaru waved his hand to signal his subordinates to open the barrier. He looked at the great battle in Konohagakure village, the Seven-Tails with the Rinnegan and the summoned beasts, the Pain Six Paths fighting with Naruto, and Deidara and Sasori who were being chased by Jugo on a white dragon on the other side, and gradually fell into thought.

What is all this?

Where did the Three-Tails come from?

Where did the Pain Six Paths come from?

...

"Sage Art - Water Release - Water Dragon Dance!"

"Water Release - Bubble Dance!"

"Strange Bird Exploding Egg!"

The three water dragons created by the Three-Tails and Ino are facing the seven summoned beasts. But whether it's the crab's bubbles or the strange bird's bombs, they can't resist the water dragons. The rhino and the black bull are also directly exploded by one of the water dragons. Only the Split Dog has always been tough, the number is getting more and more, now there are dozens of Split Dogs attacking the Three-Tails together.

Although these summoned beasts are very strong, they are not creatures of the same level as the tailed beasts, let alone the Three-Tails who have practiced Senjutsu.

"Preta Path - Sealing Technique Absorption Seal!"

Soon, the Preta Path Pain came to the side of the water dragon, his hands emitted a faint light to absorb the water dragon, the absorption speed was very fast, a giant water dragon soon disappeared.

The strength of Senjutsu released by the water elemental force is indeed very high, but it still cannot avoid being absorbed. The attack with Toad Senjutsu will also be easily absorbed by the Preta Path.

The principle is very simple. Whether it's Toad Senjutsu or Water Elemental Force Senjutsu, the final attack released only covers part of the elemental force, and is not a technique composed of pure elemental force, so the Preta Path can absorb it.

But if natural energy or elemental force is directly infused into the Preta Path, the Preta Path will not be able to withstand it. Although he can't digest too strong natural energy, if it's not too strong Senjutsu, he can still easily absorb it.

"Laser Cannon!"

The Asura Path lowered its head, and its head suddenly split open, forming a powerful weapon. The blue light instantly condensed on the top of its head and shot towards the Three-Tails at high speed.

"Boom!!"

The three tails of the Three-Tails blocked in front of him, directly taking this hit hard, and at the same time said, "Really, it made my tail a bit painful."

Although the power of the laser is very strong, it cannot break through the tail defense of the Three-Tails. After all, the Three-Tails itself is a kind of tailed beast with its own armor, and the defense power of the three tails stacked together is naturally very high.

And on the other side of Pain, he has to control the Tendo, Ningendo, and Jigokudo to resist Naruto's attack. He dares not concentrate all his chakra on the Asura Path, so the power of the laser cannon will not be too strong.

On the other side

"Oh yeah oh yeah, your Shinra Tensei just now seems to have been emptied."

Naruto looked at Tendo Pain on the side, crossed his arms and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your different puppets share vision, but your eyes don't have enough pupil power to capture my actions. You can only barely see my movement trajectory and then guess my actions."

His expression gradually became playful, and he said provocatively, "So, if I just leave an afterimage, and not directly attack, can you still predict my actions? Want to bet and try?"

"Damn it."

Tendo frowned, and gathered the three Pains together at the fastest speed. The three Pains looked in three different directions back to back. He currently has no better solution and can only use this clumsy method to temporarily transition.
