Chapter 42 Jealousy

The Kingdom of Fire, Daming Mansion.

Ever since Hiruzen Sarutobi ascended the throne of Hokage, the Daimyo of the Fire Country immediately extended an invitation to the new Konoha talker.

In order to maintain the relationship between the village and the daimyo, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was invited to participate with his guards.

At the banquet, carved plates and fine delicacies are naturally indispensable.

What's more important is that there must be beauties to add to the fun. The Daimyos of the Fire Country have long heard of the new Hokage's habit of seducing women, so they simply give in to her, clapping their hands, tapping the sandalwood board, playing slow silk and bamboo music, and several people are dressed in fancy clothes. The dancers swayed out gracefully, knelt down and bowed to the seats, then flicked their long sleeves, floated in a row, and started dancing.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was in a state of high spirits. Thanks to the strength of the wine, a group of dignitaries with bloated bodies, big bellies, and fat intestines were extremely flattering to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

An official with a big belly raised his glass and flattered him: "Your Excellency, the Third Hokage, from now on our Fire Country's national defense will depend entirely on you, brother. You don't have to worry about the budget. We will give you our full support even if we try to sell the pot."

"It's easy to say, it's all about protecting our homeland, and Konoha will do its best."

At first, Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little flattered when he saw how enthusiastic the Fire Country officials were. He had just become the Third Hokage and acted a little reserved. However, this restraint soon collapsed under the honorific title of the Third Hokage, and he became forgetful.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, power is really a wonderful thing. No wonder the adults at home have instilled in him since he was a child that he must become Hokage when he grows up. It turns out that there is such a meaning in it.

Looking at Hiruzaru Sarutobi with a face full of ecstasy, Danzo sitting cross-legged in a corner with a Sima face, his hands on his knees clutching his pants tightly, he felt very unwilling.

Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen grew up competing with each other, but for some reason they lost to each other every time, which made him very unhappy.

Some time ago, Danzo once again lost to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and this time he lost the most important dream in his life - Naruto.

The specific situation is that before the Second Hokage made the decision to become the queen, he posed a difficult problem to several of his disciples and asked them which of them was willing to stay as the queen.

As a ninja, Danzo had a high level of consciousness and immediately expressed his desire to take the throne, but in the end he gave up because of fear...

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and expressed his righteousness to sacrifice the queen.

In an instant, Sarutobi Hiruzen's image became glorious and upright.

Everyone was extremely surprised and admired his charisma. (Except Danzo)

The second generation Hokage was very satisfied with this, and immediately announced the appointment of Sarutobi Hiruzen as the next generation Hokage. He himself stated that he would stay behind and sacrifice himself to help others.

Originally, in this matter, if you lose, you lose. Who told Danzo to give up in the end? He is not a person who cannot afford to lose.

But after I went back and thought about it carefully, I realized something was a little bit wrong.

After a night of no sleep, he realized it.

He was young, Sarutobi Hiruzen was plotting, but he couldn't win with force.

It turns out that all this was arranged in advance.

We can get a glimpse of this from the fact that the second generation Hokage specially assigned the granddaughter of the first generation Hokage to Sarutobi Hiruzen as his disciple.

In fact, the Second Hokage had planned to select Sarutobi Hiruzen as his successor early in the morning, but he was always short of a suitable opportunity.

So I took this opportunity and deliberately said this.

Konoha was founded by the Senju and Uchiha clans.

If the choice of Hokage was from within their own clan, most of the ninja clan in the village would not make sense.

But the reality is that the Thousand Hands Clan has no leader and is unable to hold its responsibilities.

There are leaders in the Uchiha family, and they are strong enough, but Uchiha who has Sharingan is very likely to awaken the kaleidoscope to the extreme and become a time bomb.

Hiruzen of the Yuan Fei clan assumes the position of Hokage. Everyone will definitely criticize him, which is not conducive to internal unity. If he is not careful, he may be seized by external enemies and cause irreparable damage to Konoha.

Therefore, at this time, in order to let this disciple secure his position, the Second Hokage directed and acted in this play.

Sarutobi Hiruzen probably guessed the thoughts of the Second Hokage, so he was able to act so righteously and fearlessly without fear of life and death. After this incident, everyone was moved by Sarutobi Hiruzen's sacrificial spirit and had deep feelings for him. There will no longer be any criticism for becoming Hokage.

Ha ha……

Tobirama-sensei, you are so cruel!

To think that he could do this for Hiruzen.

I, Shimura Danzo, am also your disciple.

Tokaima-sensei, you are biased!

Thinking of this, Danzo seemed to be burned by a flame called jealousy, and his whole body felt extremely uncomfortable.

But what can you do if you are not convinced? The matter is now done, and for the stability of the village, Danzo must take into account the overall situation, suppress the jealousy and anger in his heart, and even use the power of his family to spare no effort to promote Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Danzo took a deep breath and glanced meaningfully at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was being praised, and an idea came to his mind. He could replace him...

The banquet was over, and the politeness that needed to be left had been exhausted. Danzo urged Hiruzen Sarutobi to leave the Daming Mansion and return to Konoha Village to take charge of the overall situation.

"Hey, are you leaving so soon?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the scantily clad dancer with a look of reluctance and some fascination.

Lustfulness is his weakness.

Since marrying Biwako, he has restrained himself a lot in this regard. At least he doesn't dare to act like that in the village. In addition, as Hokage, he has to pay more attention to his image.

Every word and action represents the image of the village.

"Nonsense, you thought that now, there are many important things waiting for your decision in the village, especially Yu..."

At this point, Danzo paused and did not continue.

It is not appropriate to discuss this topic of Uchiha here from time to time. We must go back to the village to discuss it carefully with the other two consultants Akimichi Tifeng and Koharu.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi was promoted to Hokage, these two people were directly promoted to the position of advisors.

"I see……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Maihime one last time in fascination and was about to leave.

"Hokage-dono, please stay..."

With the sound of this voice, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and saw a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. From the first sight, he gave people an honest and loyal first impression.

"His Royal Highness Prince Huang Ren."

Sarutobi Hiruzen recalled the other party's identity, carefully considered his lines, and then addressed him.

Huang Ren is the elder brother of the daimyo of the land of fire, he is honest and honest, he treats people with sincerity, he has a good relationship with the ministers of the DPRK and China, he is deeply trusted by the daimyo, and he personally handles all domestic affairs.

Prince Huang Ren had a kind smile on his face and spoke unhurriedly, giving people a feeling of spring breeze: "I'm very sorry. I missed something during the conversation just now."

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed magnanimity: "His Royal Highness Prince Huang Ren has already said it, tell me what it is."

Prince Huang Ren smiled and said: "This is not a suitable place for conversation, please come with me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "Then let's go."

Hearing this, Danzo and other guards were ready to follow.

"that……"

Huang Ren glanced at Danzo and others who were preparing to set off together, and hesitated to speak.

Sarutobi Hiruzen understood: "Danzo, wait for me here."

According to the rules, wherever the Hokage goes, these guards must follow them. This is their duty, but Danzo accepted Sarutobi Hiruzen's request without any beeps.

First of all, Daming Mansion is very safe and there can be no assassins.

Secondly, even if there are assassins, Sarutobi Hiruzen's strength is enough to deal with them, otherwise he would not be the Hokage.

Moreover, deep down in his heart, Danzo wished that Hiruzen Sarutobi would be attacked and killed. In this case, the position of Hokage might fall to him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Danzo and the others being taken away by the servants. He was confused as to why Danzo and the others were being sent away. He didn't ask any more questions and followed Prince Huangren silently. Soon he came to a room. Room.
