Chapter 412：

There is nothing to say about people like Lu Qingkui. If caught, they should be put in jail and they should be killed.

Morinoida's identity can be manipulated by Orochimaru.

It should make the old-fashioned Morino talk a little more than she likes.

"Okay, I understand what Xia Mu means. You go down and rest."

…

The Hokage's office.

Minato, who used the transformation technique to become Orochimaru, was dealing with government affairs.

Now Konoha's various ninjas are sending frequent messages.

Most of them are reporting that intelligence personnel from other ninja villages are frequently active in the Land of Fire.

Konoha Village has also caught a lot of spies recently.

Konoha ninjas who are on missions outside will be harassed by some unknown forces.

Sometimes it escalates into friction.

This kind of thing happens in normal times, but after Uchiha became independent, these things suddenly started to happen more and more.

Wait until the third Hokage dies and most of the Hyuga clan has left.

There are more such things.

Minato knew that some forces were already testing Konoha.

Although Uchiha did not live in Konoha Village before, he still wore Konoha forehead protector.

It can be considered a part of Konoha.

Now that Uchiha is independent, except for some old and weak members of the clan, all the others have left Konoha.

There was a rebellion in the Hyuga clan, and the entire branch family died and disappeared, and there were far fewer branches left.

Moreover, spies have already found out that all the dead members of the Hyuga clan are elites.

There are very few jounin and special jounin of the Hyuga clan now.

Only Nizu and Hizashi supported the appearance, and almost all the other powerful ones died.

Most of the remaining Hyuga clan members are chuunin and genin.

Although many people from the Sarutobi clan have returned, there are no masters.

Once these forces show that Konoha is weak, there may be some disturbances afterwards.

…

Chapter 461 Don’t feed idle people

Although Minato has his own ideas, after all, Orochimaru is the Hokage now.

Minato sorted out a lot of the information that came back.

I was about to inform Orochimaru and ask Orochimaru how he planned to deal with it.

At this time, the ANBU came down below to report, and Hizashi came to see him.

Minato had no choice but to sit back and let Hizashi come in to see him.

Minato hasn't seen Hizashi for a while.

Seeing Hizashi's radiant face, he said with some surprise: "Hizashi, you have become younger."

Hizashi looked at Orochimaru in Minato's disguise a little strangely.

Why is there something wrong with this tone of voice?

Minato reacted immediately here, and quickly changed the topic, switching to Orochimaru's usual hoarse tone:

"What do you want to see me for?"

Hizashi didn't take what happened before to heart. After all, he never imagined that the Fourth Hokage would impersonate the Fifth Hokage.

"Lord Hokage, when Naruto and others were on a mission, they met Natsuki by chance and captured two rebel ninjas."

"One of them is Morinoida, who was instigated by his teacher to steal the Thunder God's Sword and defect from the village."

"Ida Morino is the younger brother of Ihiki Morino."

"Morino Ihiki cares very much about this younger brother and has covered up for him many times over the years."

"With Ibiki's deliberate downplaying, few people remember that his brother is a rebellious ninja."

Minato imitated Orochimaru's tone:

"I understand. Let's put them all in prison first and no one is allowed to visit, especially Ibixi."

"I will deal with it."

Hizashi hesitated and said:

"Naruto and the others broke their hands and feet when they sent him back. You can send a medical ninja to treat them first."

Minato was dumbfounded, this must have been taught by Natsuki.

"You should go to the hospital first and find a medical ninja."

Ri almost nodded and went out.

After Hizashi went out, he always felt that Orochimaru was a little weird today.

But Hizashi hasn’t figured out what’s weird about it yet.

…

Here Minato exhaled awkwardly.

I wonder if Hizashi has found any clues.

We have to find Lord Orochimaru quickly.

Minato told the ANBU outside the office that he would leave for a while.

Then he found a place where no one was around, used Flying Thunder God, and went directly to the outside of Orochimaru's laboratory.

Although Minato also carved the mark of the Flying Thunder God on Orochimaru, he usually would not fly towards Orochimaru.

Because Orochimaru might be doing a more important experiment, he rashly flew a living person over.

If you disturb Orochimaru's work, even Minato will have to peel off some skin.

One good thing is that Orochimaru's experiment this time will not keep Orochimaru in the laboratory all the time.

He will come out to debug and calculate and modify the data.

Minato was lucky. After waiting for a while, Orochimaru came out.

When Orochimaru saw Minato coming, he asked calmly:

"What happened?"

Minato summarized everything and reported it all to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's expression flickered:

"Has anyone from the Sarutobi clan been returning to the village recently?"

Minato is very familiar with this kind of data.

"After 500 people from the Sarutobi clan returned to the village last time, in the next month, 82 people came back one after another."

"On average, two to three people come back every day. Most of the Sarutobi clan members who come back are chunin and genin."

"Before, I was either stationed at the border or doing ultra-long-distance missions."

Orochimaru pondered for a long time: "Minato, go and make an announcement."

"We in Konoha will hold the Chunin Examination in two months."

"Send invitations to all ninja villages, including those small villages."

"Every ninja clan in the village must send someone to participate."

Orochimaru paused, then stuck out his tongue and turned it around:

"There are still two months to tell those ninjas that Konoha does not support idlers."

"Konoha's finances are not subsidized to the waste family."

Minato understood what Orochimaru meant.

The central factory established by Orochimaru and Natsuki at the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Although it will be stable every month, it will provide Orochimaru with an income of 200 million.

However, this income is decreasing month by month.

Orochimaru would not send this money to Konoha.

His funding is directly linked to the number of experiments he performs.

If there is a shortage of funds, it will slow down the progress of his experiments.

For him, the identity of Konoha Hokage is a tool that provides him with convenience.

Rather than a responsibility.

After Orochimaru took over Konoha, he discovered that Konoha's financial deficit was very large.

But at that time, the Third Hokage was still there, and Orochimaru was still thinking about how to deal with the Third Hokage.

Just let it go for the time being.

As a result, after the Uchiha became independent, just after they moved away, the Third Hokage suddenly died, and the Hyuga clan was also hit hard.

Under this situation, it is normal for other forces to want to test Konoha.

At this time, Konoha is indeed a bit strong on the outside but dry on the inside.

Orochimaru's purpose in holding the Joint Chunin Examination was to show off his strength.

Orochimaru has already assigned this task. One is to express his political stance.

The two are just to spur the major ninja clans.

When the time comes, Orochimaru can use this to reduce the funding for those ninjas who perform poorly.

According to Natsuki's assumption, in the future Otsutsuki's invasion, the human wave tactic will have no effect.

It is better to let each ninja clan have a choice and cultivate some elites.

Only in this way can it play a certain role in future battlefields.

Even if the performance of those ninja clan is too disappointing.

It made other forces really feel that Konoha was in trouble.

I want to give it a try.

Orochimaru is also acceptable.

After all, Minato is here now.

There are so many Sarutobi tribesmen who can be used as cannon fodder, and Natsuki can also come to support.

Not only will Konoha not be destroyed, it will also be able to consume a bunch of disobedient people.

Of course, no one will die in a war.

Orochimaru just happens to be short of some experimental materials.

"Reveal the news of Morinoida's arrest to his brother and see when Ibiki will come."

"My recent experiments are more important, so don't come over if nothing happens."

"If you really can't make up your mind, discuss it with Xia Mu. He is good at this."

After finishing speaking, Orochimaru immediately got into the laboratory again.

Seeing Orochimaru like this, Minato had no choice.
