Chapter 104 The Fourth Hokage, Danzo!

Chapter 104 The Fourth Hokage - Danzo!

Seeing that Ebizo had no objection, Luo Sha was relieved and immediately looked at Ye Cang.

"Ye Cang will be responsible for the alliance with the Hidden Rock Village. Is that okay?"

Ye Cang was slightly startled, as if he had not expected Luo Sha to leave the alliance to him.

"Okay, leave it to me!" Ye Cang nodded and accepted the task without thinking too much.

In her opinion, since the village has decided to send troops to the Land of Lightning, the alliance with the Hidden Rock Village, whether it is against the Hidden Cloud Village or the Star Ninja Village, is indeed beneficial to the village.

"Very good, then I will immediately send someone to contact the Hidden Rock Village first. After confirming that the other party is willing to form an alliance with us, you will go to the Hidden Rock Village as an envoy." Luo Sha seemed to put aside the conflict between them because Ye Cang took on the task, and gave instructions with a smile on his face.

Seeing Luo Sha's smile, although Ye Cang felt a little weird, he didn't think much about it.

The Hidden Sand Village acted quickly.

In just a few days, the Sand Village had assembled its troops to march to the Land of Thunder again.

Although the main force was concentrated in the battle with Konoha, the troops sent to the Land of Thunder were limited.

But the attack of the Rock Village undoubtedly forced the Cloud Village to immediately mobilize troops for defense.

At the same time, the Sand Village's actions seemed to have a chain reaction.

On the second day after the Sand Village sent troops to the Land of Thunder, Konoha actually took the initiative to attack the Cloud Village troops stationed in the Land of Hot Springs.

You should know that Konoha had been in a passive defense in the war before, except for assisting the Rock Village to besiege and kill the third generation of Raikage.

Active attacks like now are very rare.

Of course.

Facts have proved that Konoha's abnormal reaction is not without reason.

Because on the day when Konoha took the initiative to attack, a piece of news also came from Konoha.

With the death of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the position of Hokage, which had been vacant for a long time, has ushered in a new owner.

The person who took over as the Fourth Hokage was Danzo Shimura, one of the former Hokage's advisors.

"Danzo Shimura? Who is this? Why haven't I heard of him?"

"Hokage advisor? I remember that the Hokage's advisors were Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu. When did another Danzo Shimura appear?"

"That's because you are ignorant. Danzo Shimura is an extremely dangerous person. He is a disciple of the Second Hokage like Sarutobi Hiruzen, but unlike Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu, this person is not responsible for Konoha's affairs on the surface after becoming the Hokage's advisor, but for the dark side of Konoha."

"The root of Konoha, I didn't expect that the rat in the gutter would come into the sun one day. It seems that Konoha's style of doing things will change a lot in the future."

"."

With Konoha's status, any movement will attract the attention of various forces, not to mention the replacement of Hokage.

Almost immediately, the name of Danzo Shimura and various related information were quickly spread among various forces.

"You are quite capable. For such a long time, I thought you were no longer capable, Danzo!"

In a town in the Land of Earth, Naraku, who had just completed another robbery, was about to take Natsuki to the next target when he suddenly received a memory from a shadow clone.

This memory made Naraku startled for a moment, and then a playful look appeared on his face.

A snake cannot survive without a head.

It has been a long time since he killed Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Naraku naturally wanted to know who would be the new Hokage of Konoha, so he specifically asked Nono to pay attention to the news of Konoha.

Up to now, the lingering position of Hokage has finally come to a conclusion.

The person who ascended to the position of Hokage was Danzo.

Naraku was surprised but not too surprised.

The reason is very simple, because he knows very well that there are only a few people in Konoha who are qualified to compete for the position of Hokage.

The inheritance of the five major ninja villages has its own system.

For example, Konoha, although it has not been stated on the surface, in fact, since the second generation Hokage, the inheritance of the Hokage has set a rule, that is, it must be a Hokage lineage.

In other words, it must be a direct disciple of the Hokage.

Therefore, the only candidates who are qualified to compete for the position of Hokage are Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, who are direct disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Danzo, who is also a disciple of the second generation Hokage.

As for Namikaze Minato.

In theory, as a disciple of Jiraiya, he is also a Hokage lineage and has the qualifications to compete for the position of Hokage.

But unfortunately, Namikaze Minato was able to take the position in the original plot because he had the support of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen has long died, and with Namikaze Minato's qualifications, it is naturally impossible for him to participate in the competition.

Similarly, it stands to reason that even if Danzo has the qualifications to compete for the position of Hokage, with his prestige in the village, any one of Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru can easily defeat him.

But now it is the opposite, it is Danzo who has the lowest prestige who has won the position of Hokage.

Such a result would be very surprising to outsiders.

But Naraku knows the inside story.

Tsunade, a doctor who can hardly treat herself, a patient with mental illness, can be directly ruled out.

Jiraiya, said to be a Konoha ninja, but his butt has long been wrong, and he has become a tool of the Myoboku Mountain Toad, obsessed with the child of destiny, can also be ruled out.

Orochimaru, with prestige and means, can be said to be the strongest competitor for the position of Hokage.

But unfortunately, he was obsessed with immortality and had an affair with Danzo, so Danzo already had a lot of black material in his hands.

In the case of the above three people, without the restraint of Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu, as long as Danzo was not as stupid as a pig, it would be a normal result to take down the Hokage.

Similarly, this is also the result that Naraku wants.

Why did he kill Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu together with Sarutobi Hiruzen? Wasn't it to create conditions for Danzo to take the position?

What can I say about Danzo?

Regardless of the description of the original plot or the experience of the Root organization in this life, Naraku's impression of this person is that he knows small etiquette but no great righteousness, and is particular about small details but no great virtue.

To put it simply, it is arrogance.

Maybe he is too obsessed with the position of Hokage, or he may be stimulated too much by Sarutobi Hiruzen. In short, Danzo is a solid supporter of "Konoha Invincible".

He said more than once that Konoha should actively expand outward instead of passively fighting.

In his speech, he even regarded the other four of the five major ninja villages as grass, and as long as Konoha attacked, it could easily destroy them.

Well. It cannot be said that Danzo's idea is wrong, but it can only be said that he was born in the wrong era.

If it was the era when Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were in charge of Konoha, Konoha really had the power of the invincible ninja world.

But unfortunately, Danzo only inherited the invincible confidence of Konoha when it was just established, but ignored the source of this invincible confidence.

"Konoha will be very lively in the future. I wonder what kind of surprises Danzo can bring." Naraku turned into a fun person, full of interest in the future development of Konoha.
