Chapter 842: Making meritorious deeds

The Third Hokage's words made the entire office fall into silence.

When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan sighed silently, while Tsunade and Jiraiya stopped talking.

Everyone knows that after this battle, the conflict between the five major ninja villages and the Akatsuki organization has escalated again, and the next battle may be a decisive battle that will determine life and death.

Under this situation, Konoha obviously cannot let a useless person who has a broken arm and cannot form seals continue to sit in the position of Hokage and lead Konoha.

After a while, Tsunade said: "Teacher, with the technology we currently have in reserve, the success rate of transplanting an arm is still very high!"

Jiraiya also nodded in agreement: "Yes, old man! It's just a broken arm. This is not a problem for you at all, right?"

"Hey!"

The third generation sighed.

A broken arm was only one of the reasons why he chose to abdicate. What really contributed to his decision to abdicate was his increasingly incompetent state.

As Tsunade said, with Konoha's current technology, it is not difficult to transplant an arm.

But if having the original arms can't protect the village, what's the point of transplanting another arm?

So he said: "I have decided to abdicate. This does not conflict with whether to transplant a new arm, because what the village needs is a young and strong Hokage, and I am already old!"

Seeing that Sandai had made up his mind, Koharu and Mito Kadoren looked at each other secretly as they went to bed.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that currently the only two people in Konoha who are most suitable to succeed the Third Hokage are Tsunade and Jiraiya.

As for others, just like the two of them, they are either the same age as the third generation, or they are too young and lack strength to convince the public.

But the problem now is that if Tsunade or Jiraiya becomes the fifth Hokage of the village, then with the succession of the new Hokage, the power structure of the village will inevitably change. They, the advisory elders who work with the third generation, It is very likely that they will be squeezed out of the village's highest power center.

But now that the situation has deteriorated to this point, and the third generation has broken his arm, it makes sense to choose a new Hokage who is both affectionate and polite. Even if they are advisory elders, they can't directly hinder it.

At this moment, the third generation directly nodded: "Jiraiya, you will inherit the position of Hokage! I am your teacher, Minato is your disciple, and now it is time for you to assume the responsibility of Hokage!"

Jiraiya quickly took a step back: "Old man, I can't be Hokage with my personality!"

Sandai frowned: "At this time, are you still pushing back and forth?"

Jiraiya still shook his head: "I'm really not suitable. If you let me be Hokage, the whole village will be messed up by me!"

In addition to his unwillingness to be restrained, another important reason for Jiraiya's rejection of the position of Hokage was that he was still following the instructions of the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku and looking for the prophesied 'son of prophecy'.

And once he becomes Hokage, he may not have the opportunity to travel around the ninja world in search of the 'son of prophecy'.

Seeing Jiraiya's repeated refusals, Sandaime coughed angrily: "Ahem, you disappoint me so much!"

Jiraiya smiled and said: "There is obviously a more suitable candidate beside me, why didn't the old man choose it?"

Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Jiraiya shrugged: "Tsunade, if you let the Jonin start a vote of confidence, you will definitely get more votes than me!"

When Sandai heard this, he began to ponder.

If he followed his original intention, he would definitely still want to choose a man to assume the important role of Hokage. After all, the four Hokages were all men. But now that Jiraiya insists on refusing, it is not difficult to accept Tsunade as the fifth Hokage.

So the third generation stared at Tsunade: "Tsunade, what's your opinion?"

"I"

Tsunade hesitated.

If it was just for herself, she wouldn't care about the name of Hokage. After all, as the princess of Konoha, she didn't care about these false names at all.

But things are different now. She has a beloved disciple. If she successfully becomes the Fifth Hokage, then there will be no obstacles for Yakumo to become the second female Hokage in the future.

Seeing that Tsunade was a little moved, the third generation breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's settle it! The current situation is serious, and we don't have much time to spend on the election. I will nominate Tsunade as the fifth Hokage of Konoha. Let the Jonin hold a vote of confidence in three days!"

Koharu and Mito Kadoyan looked at each other as they went to bed.

The Third Generation did not give them a chance to object or raise any questions. Once the Jonin vote of confidence was passed three days later, Tsunade would be the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.

Knowing that he could no longer be so passive, Koharu went to bed and said to the third generation: "Our losses this time were too great. The ANBU losses alone were at least double digits. Many teams were wiped out by the establishment during the war. ! Now that you have lost your arm again, and our strength has been further weakened, should we consider letting Danzo come out and do his part for the village?"

Mito Kadoyan immediately followed: "Danzo's strength and loyalty are undoubted. Rather than letting him idle at home, it is better to let him serve his crime!"

"this."

The third generation tapped the table with his only arm, seeming to be thinking about something.

One Hiruhu and one Ranmaru almost threw Konoha into chaos. If Akatsuki Organization 'A' hadn't taken action, Konoha might have collapsed first.

Taking into account the fact that the elite ninja army was defeated by the main force of the Akatsuki organization, the third generation had to admit that the five major ninja villages were in urgent need of every strength, even Danzo.

After thinking for a moment, Sandai said: "In principle, he can come back!"

Tsunade, who is about to become the fifth generation, is categorical: "He can come back, but the roots are not allowed to be rebuilt. He only has the power to make suggestions, not to command the ninja army!"

After turning to bed, Xiaochun nodded: "I agree!"

Mito Menyan said: "Me too!"

The two of them moved Danzo out, just to repeat their old tricks and use Danzo to check and balance the newly ascended Fifth Hokage.

And just like they couldn't stop Tsunade from succeeding to the throne of Hokage, Tsunade, the fifth Hokage who is about to take over, can't stop their proposal to bring Danzo back, because the current situation no longer allows for any form of internal fighting in Konoha. .

After Koharu and Mito Kadoyan left for bed, Jiraiya hesitated several times.

Sandai asked: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Jiraiya tentatively said: "They are all doing meritorious deeds, should we let Orochimaru do the same?"

The third generation immediately raised his hand to stop Jiraiya: "His crime must be tried by the village. It is not a decision we can make easily!"

Jiraiya decisively chose to shut up, because he also knew how much trouble Orochimaru had caused this time.

Tsunade on the side had a twinkling look in her eyes.

The first update is here!
