Chapter 190: 1 Empty Danzo

Chiba proposed the candidate for the next Hokage, and it is very likely to be Minato Namikaze.

Orochimaru was very surprised at this guess and asked Chiba why he thought it was Minato Namikaze.

Qianyu analyzed: "First of all, Namikaze Minato is Jiraiya's apprentice, the grandson of the Sandaime, a true Hokage, and has no involvement from other forces.

In the Third Ninja World War, Minato Namikaze's performance was also very remarkable, and his reputation in Konoha was also very loud.

Then, Namikaze Minato was born a commoner, which made it easier for reforms. Konoha's next moves should be centered around the Uchiha clan. The Sandaime abdicated, probably because he wanted to retreat behind the scenes and concentrate on dealing with the Uchiha clan.

Another point is that Minato Namikaze's lover, Uzumaki Miyuki, is Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. It is said that Minato Namikaze also learned the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan, and successfully helped Uzumaki Miyuki prevent her from going berserk several times.

After becoming the Hokage, Namikaze Minato will also stay in Konoha, so that he can arrive in time whenever Uzumaki Miyuki encounters an accident."

Orochimaru still felt that Chiba's analysis made sense.

but...

Orochimaru raised a question again: "There are still several candidates to become Hokage, some of whom have more experience than Minato Namikaze and have made greater contributions on the battlefield. Minato Namikaze is still very young and may not be able to convince the public. He may not be able to pass the test of Danzo alone."

Qianyu judged: "The current Hokage is still the Sandaime, right? And the appointment of a Kage requires the authorization of the Fire Country Daimyo. In other words, as long as the Sandaime Hokage and the Daimyo agree, then even if someone objects, it will be useless."

Orochimaru nodded, then sighed: "What a pity, if Chiba was not targeting the Uchiha clan, you might have been a candidate for Hokage."

Qianyu spread his hands and said, "Even if I don't target the Uchiha clan, I can't become Hokage. I can't get past this pair of Sharingan. And if I become Hokage, no one in Konoha will obey me. Now it's just because I'm strong and they are afraid of me, so they seem to respect me.

But if I become the Hokage, they will definitely not accept it, also because of fear. I think they don't want to live in fear all the time.

And even if I could become the Hokage, I wouldn't do it. After all, I'm only staying in Konoha temporarily. When Konoha can't give me what I want, I'll leave with Kushina and Kakashi."

Orochimaru said indifferently: "It seems that neither of us, the master and the disciple, want to become Hokage. However, Danzo is not so willing to do so. If I can't become Hokage, he might set his sights on you."

Qian Yu sneered and said, "It's useless even if he sets his sights on me. He's not the one who makes the decision."

Orochimaru asked, "By the way, how is your seal of extermination of tongue? You joined the Root and wanted to gain Danzo's trust, so you must have been sealed with this seal, right?"

Qianyu stuck out her tongue and said, "The seal is still there, but there's only an empty shell left."

Not long after Qianyu was given the seal of eradicating tongue trouble, he exchanged it at the exchange shop at the witness point and learned the method.

The seal of eradicating tongue troubles has little effect, but it is still quite disgusting to keep it in the body.

After chatting for a while, Chiba asked Orochimaru: "Teacher Orochimaru, I plan to propose to Kushina in a while, and I would like to ask you to be our witness at the wedding."

Qianyu's face was filled with a happy smile.

Now that he and Uzumaki Kushina were both 23 years old and had spent so many years with each other, Chiba thought it was time for them to get married.

Orochimaru showed a rare smile that didn't look like a sneer on his face and said, "Okay, just let me know when the time comes. If you need me to do anything, just let me know."

Qianyu nodded and said, "Kushina and I don't have many friends. The wedding is very simple, so there shouldn't be any trouble. Then, Mr. Orochimaru, I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave first."

Chiba left Orochimaru's base, bought some groceries, and then returned home.

...

A few days later.

Inside the Daming Mansion of the Country of Fire.

Konoha's top brass and the Daimyo's confidants gathered together.

Daimyo fanned himself and said with regret: "What a pity, the third generation did a pretty good job..."

Danzo looked at the Daimyo with sharp eyes.

The daimyo's voice suddenly stopped.

After all, this world is centered around ninjas.

Although the Daimyo seems to be the supreme leader of the Fire Nation, he is actually just a tool to make money.

Daimyo is just an ordinary person, and he still felt scared when Danzo glared at him like that.

Danzo said: "If we trace back to the root cause, it was because the third generation was too naive that the village was forced to that point. The Hokage we need now is someone who can lead the village to change and implement the ninja code. We need such talents."

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and said nothing.

The daimyo inquired, "Is there anyone suitable?"

Danzo immediately said: "I recommend Orochimaru, one of the three legendary ninjas!"

The Daimyo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and asked, "What does the Third Daemon think?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes and said solemnly: "It can be said that Orochimaru was indeed a talented genius in the war-torn era..."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen say this, Danzo couldn't help but curl up a smile.

But the next moment Danzo couldn't laugh anymore.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "However, there is malice and ambition hidden in his eyes. We cannot entrust the responsibility of Hokage to such a person!"

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in disbelief.

Wasn't Orochimaru his disciple? How could he say this about his own disciple?

Danzo's voice was already panicked as he shouted, "Third generation!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored Danzo and continued, "I recommend Namikaze Minato!"

Utatane Koharu introduced to the Daimyo: "Jiraiya's apprentice, and the third generation disciple's grandson."

Mitomon En continued, "He is an elite known as the Yellow Flash."

Daimyo looked interested: "Oh?"

Danzo stood up suddenly and retorted: "Minato is too young!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also stood up: "He won the battle of Kannabi Bridge and was the hero who ended the Third Ninja World War!"

Danzo said angrily, "I object! If that's the case, Chiba has made a greater contribution! He was also present at the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, and he also killed the Sandaime Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, and played a very important role in various major battles. Then Chiba is also qualified to become Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen only said one sentence to Danzo, and left Danzo with no choice.

"Don't you know what Chiba is going to do now, Danzo?"

Danzo's face looked extremely ugly. Chiba was now in charge of the Uchiha clan's affairs and could never become Hokage.
