Chapter 256 Hiruzen: What does Tsunade becoming the candidate for Hokage have to do with you?

Taking the initiative will make the Third Hokage feel threatened, but being passive will be different. At that time, Konoha will face two situations.

Either the Third Hokage died, or the Third Hokage disappointed everyone to the point where he had to give up his position.

At this time, it is reasonable for Tsunade to become Hokage.

After hearing what Jingyi said, Tsunade finally felt relieved.

"You and the old man are really something. You didn't even discuss such an important matter with me. I'm scared to death. By the way, how about having barbecue later?"

Tsunade felt very tired and exhausted after relaxing, and she might fall asleep at any time.

She's been working overtime so much lately that she's almost going crazy.

"your treat?"

Jingyi asked.

“Ahaha…”

Tsunade responded to Jingyi with a series of yawns.

Jingyi: "........."

I knew that Tsunade was just trying to take advantage of you by wanting to eat barbecue but not spending any money.

Forget it, since you’ve been looking for so much trouble, I’ll treat you to some barbecue.

The news that Tsunade became the candidate for Hokage quickly spread throughout Konoha, and spread towards the Land of Fire with Konoha as the center, and then spread step by step to other countries and villages.

No one in the ninja world was surprised by Konoha's announcement.

Just as the Third Hokage said, Tsunade is more than capable of becoming Hokage in terms of strength, identity, status, and prestige, and is the least competitive one.

Even if other people have the dream of becoming Hokage, they can only give up regretfully when they meet a rival like Tsunade.

The cooperation was reached.

The Third Hokage came to the prison and met Danzo Shimura.

"I have reached a cooperation with Hyuga Shizuka. If I release you, they will not object, nor will they take the initiative to target you, but Tsunade will become the candidate for Hokage."

As soon as they met, the Third Hokage told Danzo Shimura this heartbreaking news.

This news may not have much impact on other people, but for Danzo Shimura, who dreams of becoming Hokage, it is like a bolt from the blue.

His dream of becoming Hokage seemed to be shattered.

With thunder rumbling in his mind, Danzo Shimura froze in place.

Not only is the Third Hokage still in his prime, he will not give up the throne of Hokage at least in the short term. After he gives up the throne, Danzo Shimura will also be quite old. Then Tsunade will become Hokage, which means that Danzo Shimura's dream of becoming Hokage will be completely shattered.

By the time Tsunade is old and has to give up the throne of Hokage, the grass on Danzo Shimura's grave will probably be several meters high.

"bump!!!"

Just as the Third Hokage had expected, after a moment of silence, Shimura Danzo, with a red face, angrily slammed against the cell fence, holding the fence tightly with both hands, and yelled at the Third Hokage: "Sarutobi! Why did you agree to their unreasonable conditions! Why?"

"Because I think Tsunade is suitable."

The Third Hokage replied calmly.

Danzo Shimura was devastated because if Tsunade was chosen as the next Hokage, he would have no hope of becoming Hokage.

He would only have some hope if Tsunade died suddenly after the Third Hokage abdicated.

However, the hope of causing Tsunade to die suddenly is somewhat slim.

"What about me? What about me!!"

Danzo Shimura felt like he was about to lose his mind and kept yelling.

The Third Hokage just watched him make a fuss.

He even wanted to say to Shimura Danzo: "Danzo, you can never become Hokage, give up."

Considering that these words would irritate Danzo Shimura, the Third Hokage held back.

He was afraid that Danzo Shimura would not be able to withstand the stimulation and would eventually do something that no one could accept.

Because the Third Hokage understood Danzo Shimura, and knew that this old friend would dare to do anything when forced into a corner.

In the original time and space, Danzo Shimura once sent people to attack the Third Hokage, wanting to kill the Third Hokage who was going to the Daimyo Mansion, but unfortunately his attack did not succeed.

"Danzo, Tsunade becoming the candidate for Hokage doesn't seem to have much to do with you."

The Third Hokage reminded him that this was not your concern.

It has nothing to do with you.

"........"

Shimura Danzo, who was furious just now, suddenly froze.

There is nothing wrong with what the Third Hokage said. Whether Tsunade was chosen as the Hokage candidate or not has nothing to do with Danzo Shimura, so his anger is puzzling.

"Sarutobi, you're going to regret this!!"

Shimura Danzo gripped the fence so tightly that veins on the back of his hands bulged.

"maybe."

The Third Hokage has heard this sentence for many years. Whenever Danzo Shimura encounters something unpleasant, he will say this.

The Third Hokage was already accustomed to this.

"After you get out, don't bother Tsunade and Shizuka anymore, and don't have any ideas about Kushina anymore."

"Humph."

Shimura Danzo walked out of the cell and snorted coldly:

"So, where will you assign me to work?"

What about my position?

"I will first appoint you as the captain of the Hokage Guard. As for the appropriate position, I will arrange it for you when there is an opportunity."

At this time, it was really difficult for the Third Hokage to assign a position to Danzo Shimura. Given Danzo Shimura's personality, he would definitely not take up some unimportant positions.

But the important positions are already occupied, and we can’t just kick anyone out.

Who can I kick?

Shimura Danzo has a big appetite, and the positions he wants are all in the high-level circle.

There are only so many positions in this circle, and it's hard to create a vacancy.

The logistics department is out of the question, and the medical system department is even less likely to work, otherwise Koharu will explode.

The Ministry of Finance cannot be handed over to anyone for management and can only be held in hands. The same applies to the Anbu. Tsunade and Shizuichi will not allow anyone else to enter the Anbu.

After all this, there was only one position left that could satisfy Shimura Danzo, and that was the position of leader of the jonin squad.

But the Third Hokage did not dare to give this position to Danzo Shimura.

Judging from Shimura Danzo's ambition, God knows how much trouble he would cause if he were to sit in this position.

You have to know that the leader of the Jonin squad has considerable power.

This is a position with real power.

Can directly and indirectly command many Konoha ninjas.

So I can only let Danzo Shimura bear with it for now, and find a chance to find a suitable one for him later.

For example, Hokage assistant.

Currently, the village's Assistant Hokage is the fat man Akimichi Norifuge who doesn't care about anything. He has no power and is just an idle position. Akimichi Norifuge doesn't need to go to the Hokage office building to work. He can just stay at home and study food all day.

However, this position belongs to Tsunade and her faction, so it is not easy to get it. At least it requires paying a certain price.

Even if it is a sinecure with no power, it is one of the few positions in the high-level circle and it is impossible to give it up casually.
