Chapter 155: Orochimaru: Too Much to Learn!
Three days have passed since the Chunin Exams.
These three days have been chaotic in Konoha.
The Chunin Exams, the damage caused by the attack, the replacement of the Hokage, the compensation from Sunagakure, etc.
With so many major events intertwined and accompanied by drastic changes at the top, naturally the entire village isn't as peaceful as it seems on the surface.
However, this is what Orochimaru expected.
As long as the Third Hokage was alive, it was impossible for any ninja clan to oppose him.
Although the Third Hokage became more cowardly with age, and allowed Danzo to do many foolish things, he had been Hokage for decades, and his reputation still held some sway.
At least as long as he wasn't dead, no ninja clan dared to confront him.
The power shift went smoothly enough.
Of course, a change in power would inevitably harm the interests of some, coupled with Danzo's secret instigation.
It's true that a small number of ninjas protested and rejected Orochimaru's rule.
