His old partner remains the advisor elder, who still wields considerable power.
Rather than letting the Third Hokage and these elders scheme behind the scenes.
Why not strip three generations of their skin and send away all these elders who have colluded with them?
This forced him to relinquish all power to Orochimaru.
Based on Kawasaki's understanding of Orochimaru, this method at best only stripped these elders of their "face".
If Orochimaru were to come, it probably wouldn't be as simple as just "shamelessness".
Although Orochimaru looked grim when he left, he returned to his laboratory.
He fully recovered, after all, this was something Kawasaki and he had agreed upon.
Not long after he arrived, Anko followed Karin.
"Lord Orochimaru, Anko-senpai has arrived."
Karin said happily.
Orochimaru turned around and looked Anko up and down, examining her plump body.
Red Bean avoided eye contact, not daring to look at Orochimaru.

She felt she was too fat and not pretty at all.
"I understand, Karin, you can go now."
If the Third Hokage arrives, come and let me know.
"Understood, Lord Orochimaru!"
Karin skipped and hopped away.
Karin's Kagura Mind's Eye is very useful to Orochimaru.
With this, there's no need for any other guards.
"Red Bean, it seems you've made up your mind."
Orochimaru doesn't seem to care that Anko has gotten fat.
Seeing that Orochimaru didn't show any disgust, Anko breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Teacher, I was too naive before."
Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction and said:
·····Requesting flowers·········
"I happen to be short-staffed, so come and help me from now on."
Red Bean happily replied, "Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru walked towards the nearby laboratory and waved to Anko, saying:
"Let me give you a medical check-up first."
"Let's see if the missing curse mark is what's causing you to gain weight."
Hongdou was puzzled one second, and shocked the next.
He quickly ran up and said:
"Teacher, did I gain weight because the cursed seal is gone?"
Orochimaru said matter-of-factly:
"That's natural. A cursed seal needs energy to survive. Otherwise, do you think you'd be drinking every day?"
"How can someone who overeats and consumes so many desserts not gain weight?"
Red Bean was completely unaware of why Orochimaru knew so much about her lifestyle.
0 ....
After she gained weight, the anxiety about her figure and appearance almost overwhelmed her.
She is now eager to get back to how she was before.
"Teacher, is there any way? I don't want to go on like this anymore," Hongdou said with a worried look on her face.
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Don't rush, let's check it first."
...
After examining the area, Orochimaru had a better understanding of the situation.
Previously, when his soul fragments resided within the cursed seal of the red bean, they needed to rely on his body for nourishment.
Eating sweets can relieve the pain caused by the curse mark because the curse mark is absorbing her energy.
Sweets contain even more calories.
Therefore, Red Bean's love for sweets and her habit of overeating are both due to Orochimaru's soul fragments consuming energy.
Otherwise, you would definitely gain weight if you ate the same amount of food as a normal person.
Now that Orochimaru has extracted the soul fragments, and there's no longer any energy drain, Anko has naturally gained weight.
"It is indeed due to the cursed seal."
"You're not burning as much energy as you used to. If you keep eating and drinking like you used to, you'll get even fatter in the future."
Orochimaru said to Anko after examining her.
Hongdou asked hopefully, "Then, teacher, is there a way to solve this?"
Orochimaru said calmly, "This is normal for you. Just eat less and exercise more."
Red Bean said, both distressed and embarrassed:
"Teacher, I've gotten used to this kind of life. I feel really uncomfortable if I don't eat sweets."
Orochimaru smirked and said:
"Then how about I re-imprint the curse mark on you?" (Death)
Chapter 227 Rasengan! Effortlessly Mastered!
The curse mark on Red Bean used to cause her pain and sometimes made her feel weak all over.
But now, seeing how fat she looked, she gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and said:
"Even if the curse seal is replanted, that's fine."
I really think I look awful right now.
After Hongdou finished speaking, Orochimaru responded.
"Then I'll satisfy you."
Orochimaru grabbed Anko's shoulder, lowered his head, and bit down on the side of her neck, in the exact same spot as before.
Instantly, a sharp pain struck, just like when the curse mark was placed on the red bean back then.
"ah...".
Hongdou screamed, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground.
Orochimaru helped Anko up with one hand and placed her on the bed behind him.
At that moment, Karin entered and said to Orochimaru, "Lord Orochimaru, the Third Hokage has arrived."
Orochimaru nodded and said, "Understood, you can go now."
As Orochimaru, nicknamed "013," walked out of the room, the Third Hokage entered alone.
"Old man, now your reputation is ruined in your later years."
Orochimaru said with a half-smile.
The Third Hokage did not show any sign of frustration; it seemed he had already accepted the outcome.
"Anyway, I'm going to retire soon, so it's okay. It's just that you probably won't be able to slack off anymore."
The Third Hokage had fought Kawasaki many times and knew he was a difficult opponent.
Although this matter is tricky, at most it will only force him to completely relinquish power.
He had already transferred all the benefits to his family.
Even if he can't become Hokage in the future, he can still train Asuma properly.
If Asuma doesn't work, there's still Konohamaru.
Now that the Sarutobi clan has grown to such a large number, as long as the Sarutobi clan still exists, the sixth and seventh generation leaders will eventually come to be from their family.
Orochimaru snorted after hearing the Third Hokage's words:
"You promised me you wouldn't have to worry about those political affairs, and now you're dumping them all on me."
The Third Hokage took a drag of his cigarette and said:
"There's no other way. If I handle these matters now, the other elders will have objections."
Orochimaru seemed to say helplessly:
"Alright then, what are your plans regarding the elders?"
"As long as you don't speak up, they can't do anything to me."
"However, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado should probably retire."
Orochimaru thought for a moment and said, "Those members of the Sarutobi clan who voted, let's put them in the Anbu for now, and deal with them after things calm down."
As long as these people are in the Anbu, and as long as the Hokage doesn't give the green light, the other elders cannot summon them at will.
The third generation also thought this method was good, saying:
"Okay, that's fine too."
Where is Naruto now?
Orochimaru asked the Third Hokage.
