Chapter 142 Danzo said I want to be Hokage

Konoha Village, meeting room.

After Tsunade returned to the village, she immediately alerted three high-level officials of Konoha. Before they could go to see Tsunade, Jiraiya came up first.

Koharu, who was over sixty years old and had wrinkles on his face, praised him: "Well done, I was able to bring Tsunade back."

Jiraiya scratched his cheek, a little embarrassed: "Although saying this will shock you, I think it is necessary to explain it to you."

After turning to bed, Xiaochun frowned slightly, with a confused expression of "What do you mean?" written on his face.

Jiraiya relayed what Tsunade meant: "Tsunade did not come back to the village to be the Hokage."

When he went to bed, Xiaochun opened his eyes slightly and looked stunned.

Another senior executive, Mito Monoyan, couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean?"

"That's what it means."

Jiraiya mentally complained that Tsunade had left this mess to him, and relayed: "She only returned to the village to take a look, and treat Kakashi and the others by the way."

"If Tsunade is not the fifth Hokage, then who will be the Hokage?" Confusion appeared on Mito Kado's old face.

"Uh..." Jiraiya drawled his tone, after a long time of brewing, he pointed at his nose and offered himself: "What do you think of me?"

As soon as these words came out, the three senior Konoha officials, including Danzo who had a bandage on his face, couldn't sit still: "Aren't you very resistant to the position of Hokage?"

Jiraiya sighed, as depressed as if he had eaten a fly: "You think I think it's not a compromise I had to make because I lost a bet with a bitch like Tsunade."

Danzo's ears twitched, thoughts growing in his mind.

When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Menyan looked at each other and thought that this seemed like a good idea.

After all, their first choice was Jiraiya. In terms of uprightness, popularity, and reputation, Tsunade was undoubtedly better than Jiraiya, but she was a woman after all, and she would be more intimidating without a man.

"If that's the case, then it's settled." Koharu and Mito Kaden immediately decided to inform the Fire Country's daimyo Jiraiya about becoming Hokage.

Jiraiya sighed, thinking that these two old guys really weren't as fast as they looked.

He felt extremely sad when he thought about becoming Hokage and not being able to happily collect materials from now on.

At this point, Jiraiya could only sigh: "Oh, I really don't want to be the Fifth Hokage."

Mito Kadenen scolded him severely: "What nonsense are you still talking about now? From now on, the burden of Konoha will be on your shoulders."

It's just because all the burden is on me that I don't want to be Hokage... Jiraiya sighed again. It felt like he had sighed more recently than in the whole year.

He originally thought that this matter was about to be finalized, but suddenly a voice came from the air, ushering in a turning point.

"and many more……"

Huh?

When everyone heard the sound and looked around, it was Danzo who had a bandage on his head and one eye exposed.

"What's the matter, Danzo, you have a different opinion?"

Danzo said solemnly: "Since Jiraiya is not interested in the position of the fifth Hokage, I think we can take it slow. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. If Jiraiya is forced to become the Hokage, there is no telling what will happen later. Chaos. It’s not like you don’t know his character.”

Jiraiya was stunned and faced Danzo. Others didn't know Danzo very well, but because of his age, he still knew him well.

This man is the leader of the root group, and his impression is that he is a strict self-discipline.

Jiraiya thought that he didn't seem to be such a talkative guy.

But since someone gave him the steps, he got off the donkey and looked at him gratefully.

Danzo coughed a few times and explained: "Even though I am usually like this, I am sometimes a reasonable person. Now that Hiruzen is gone, we must be more cautious about matters related to the village."

After moving to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoen felt that it made sense. Since the other party could make such remarks, they already had some strategy in mind, so they randomly asked what the other party's advice was.

Danzo pretended to ponder and spoke slowly: "Think back twelve years ago, on the night of the Nine-Tails, the Fourth Hokage successfully sealed the Nine-Tails at the expense of himself. Although it is touching, the consequences of this are the fate of the Hokage. There was a direct fault, and people in the village were panicked.

"At this time, the Third Hokage's strategy is to come out again and temporarily take over the position of Hokage, so as to stabilize the situation.

"And now, the Third Hokage also sacrificed himself to seal Orochimaru's hands, so that Orochimaru didn't destroy Konoha."

At this point, Danzo paused and said in a deep voice: "Since Jiraiya doesn't want to be the fifth Hokage, we can't force it, so I suggest that we learn from Hiruzen's strategy. When we find a suitable candidate, Let him take over the position of Hokage."

The purpose of quoting scriptures is to arouse everyone's resonance, pave the way for him to put forward his true thoughts later, and silence everyone's mouths.

Koharu and Mito Kadoyan went to bed. It seemed reasonable at first, but as they listened, they suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Danzo, what do you mean?"

"Wherever the leaves are flying, the will of fire is endless. Now is the time for my old bones to burn myself. I propose that I, Shimura Danzo, temporarily take over the position of Hokage. Wait until the right person appears, and then Give up the position of Hokage."

Danzo waved his hand, as if he wanted to give up on me: "I've finished my proposal, who is in favor and who is against it?"

After saying that, he glanced at the two old guys specifically, with a hint of threat in them.

The situation was great, and his lifelong dream was right in front of him. No matter what, Danzo Shimura must become the Hokage today.

What he said, no one can stop it.

So, he simply stopped pretending.

When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoren closed their mouths and made such a big twist. I dare you to think that you want to be the Hokage. Don't you even hide your ambition?

Danzo looked at the two old guys who were silent, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

Just when he thought the Hokage throne was secure, an accident happened.

"I object……"

Danzo widened his eyes and forcibly resisted the urge to slap him with his backhand.

When he saw it was Jiraiya, he couldn't help but be startled.

Jiraiya sighed: "Forget it, I'll still be the fifth Hokage."

"Don't force it, Jiraiya."

Danzo frowned, not understanding what was going on in his head at this time.

Didn't you say you really don't want to be Hokage?

Jiraiya smiled bitterly and said: "Wherever the leaves of Konoha are flying, the will of fire is endless. If I hadn't been traveling around all day long, not in Konoha, and I was in charge during the night of the Nine-Tails, I'm afraid Minato would not have died." There is even a possibility that Orochimaru will not defect, and even if everything happened now, I have thought clearly that blindly evading will not solve the problem, so I don’t want to escape this time, I will take responsibility for the village."

These words left Danzo speechless, and he responded angrily: "As long as you figure it out."

If Jiraiya was really determined to be Hokage, he would have nothing to do with Danzo.

"Thank you very much." Jiraiya knelt down and thanked him.

Danzo snorted coldly, making him happy in vain.

hateful.

Mito Katoen and Koharu, who had transferred to the dormitory, breathed a sigh of relief. They still hoped that Jiraiya would become Hokage more than Danzo would become Hokage.

"If that's the case, then it's settled. The village will start preparing for the inauguration ceremony today."

After finishing the discussion with the top management of Konoha, Jiraiya left the room under Danzo's resentful eyes and walked on the road when he happened to bump into his young apprentice.

"Hey, Naruto." Jiraiya greeted.

"Ah, the lustful fairy."

"From now on, you are not allowed to call me this title. Please call me the Fifth Hokage."

Jiraiya felt the need to adapt to his role.

Naruto disagreed: "I think it's better to call the lustful sennin smooth."

"Well, forget it, call it whatever you like."

Jiraiya looked at Naruto with a kind of loving look, as if he was looking at his grandson.

He has observed the Mesozoic generation in the village, and the person most promising to succeed him as Hokage is Kakashi. Whether it is reputation or strength, it is no surprise that when he retires, he will be the Sixth Hokage.

What a coincidence is that he is the disciple of the Fourth Hokage, and what is even more coincidental is that Naruto is still his disciple.

Although Naruto may seem like a weakling to outsiders, Jiraiya knows very well that with Naruto's qualifications and his motivation, one day the clown duck will turn into a white swan. As long as there are no mistakes, the seventh generation Hokage has great hope.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya felt that this had quite a heritage significance.

"By the way, Naruto, why are you here? Are you not with Tsunade?"

"I also want to say that I obviously wanted to find her to treat Kakashi-sensei and the others, but she ended up in Konoha, and I don't know where she went." Naruto complained.

After making inquiries, the two finally found Tsunade and the others who were cooking at a barbecue restaurant.

When Tsunade saw them, she waved enthusiastically: "Want to come over for something to eat? It's been a long time since I've been back to Konoha, and I found that there are a lot of good things here."

"Hey, didn't you promise me?" Naruto pointed at his hand and shouted loudly.

The outline took a sip of noodles with his hand and looked confused: "What do you promise?"

Naruto stamped his feet anxiously, "Treat Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke, and Thick Eyebrow and the others..."

"Uh, I forgot..."

"Ah, you guy..." Naruto cursed.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to get treatment now." Tsunade stood up from her seat and called little Tsunade, Aokiji and Shizune.

On the way to the hospital, Tsunade and others met some acquaintances, including long-established ninjas. They all showed great respect for Tsunade.

Little Tsunade, who was walking beside Tsunade, thought to herself that her future self would be really respected.

Not long after, a group of people arrived at the hospital, entered a room, opened the door, and saw a simple and elegant interior. There was a white flower placed in the room. Judging from the luster of the flower, it was obvious that it was changed every day.

The pink-haired girl in the room was stunned when she saw so many people at once.

"Sakura, let me tell you, this beautiful big sister is a very powerful medical ninja, and she can definitely cure Sasuke." Naruto danced around, showing an expression as if he was about to praise me.
