Chapter 208 The 6th Hokage? My time has finally come!!

Ten days later.

The work of rebuilding Konoha is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The ruins of Konoha Village no longer had the hustle and bustle of the past, but were replaced by silence and desolation. However, above these ruins, there was hope and vitality.

Groups of villagers and ninjas shuttled among the ruins. Although their faces were tired, there was a determination gleam in their eyes.

They wielded tools, moved stones, and cleared rubble, and everyone was working hard to rebuild their homes.

At the entrance of the village, several older ninjas were directing the reconstruction work. They were experienced and knew every inch of the village like the back of their hands. Under their leadership, the reconstruction work was proceeding in an orderly manner.

And in the center of the village, a new Hokage building is rising from the ground.

The workers were busy moving materials and the architects were carefully drawing the blueprints.

In a newly established meeting room, the Fire Country Daimyo sat in the main seat.

"Now that Princess Tsunade is in a coma, the village cannot be left leaderless. The first thing we must do is choose who will be the new Hokage," Danzo suggested.

"I think it should be Jiraiya's turn this time... Too bad he's gone. I was quite optimistic about him."

"Then, who else can we choose?" asked the daimyo.

"In that case, this..." Before Danzo could finish his words, Nara Shikaku directly put forward his proposal.

"I recommend Hatake Kakashi!"

There was an unknown anger in Danzo's eyes. From the old guy Sarutobi to now, he has outlasted three and four generations. Now even the fifth Hokage Tsunade is in trouble. How can he miss such an opportunity that he finally has?

"Whose disciple is Kakashi?" asked the Fire Country Daimyo.

"It's from the Yondaime Hokage!"

"Oh! I see! Now I remember, the Fourth Hokage seems to be Jiraiya's disciple, and Jiraiya is the Third Hokage's disciple."

"Is that all right?"

"Okay, if there's no problem..." Just as the Daimyo was about to make the announcement, Danzo flew into a rage and interrupted him.

"It is equivalent to saying that the weakness of the Sandaime Hokage almost caused the village to suffer a devastating disaster!"

"Nagato, the leader of Akatsuki who destroyed the village, was once Jiraiya's disciple."

"This is the result of sympathizing with people from other countries and teaching them ninjutsu."

"It is this naivety and weakness passed down from generation to generation that led to the betrayal of our ally Sunagakure!"

"And it pushed Orochimaru to attack Konoha..."

"And the rise of Akatsuki."

"What's more, now the remnants of the Uchiha clan, the culprit who destroyed the village, Uchiha Kanon, and his brother Uchiha Sasuke have become defector ninjas and are operating in secret."

"This is all due to the Sandaime's weakness at the time. If he had listened to me, would this be the result?"

"If we allow someone who has a connection with that Sarutobi guy to come, Konoha will only continue to be weak."

"Therefore, what is needed now is someone who can handle this most troublesome situation, bring change to the ninja world, and implement the iron law of ninja."

Danzo stood up, looking sanctimonious. He coughed and said softly, "The one and only Hokage will be held by me."

After this statement was made, the Daimyo did not say anything and directly made the decision: "Well, it's decided, Danzo, I will appoint you as the Sixth Hokage!"

While on their mission, Sai and Mitarashi Anko learned the news that Danzo had become the acting Hokage.

After Sai returned to the village, he half-knelt in front of Danzo.

"What are your orders?"

"Watch Naruto and report anything unusual to me!"

"Yes!" Sai nodded and asked another question.

"Um...can I ask you a question?"

"what?!"

"What are you going to do with Naruto?"

"Don't worry, Naruto is the village hero now."

"Everyone in the village trusts Naruto very much."

"Far beyond me, the Sixth Hokage." Danzo said lightly.

Danzo then analyzed the pros and cons for Sai. After all, it would be a waste of time for him to attack Naruto now.

Now is the important period for the vote of confidence for Danzo's election as Hokage.

"But Naruto is the Jinchuriki, and as the Hokage you must keep an eye on the Jinchuriki!"

"We can't just leave it alone like Tsunade did." After saying this, Danzo asked Sai to leave.

Looking at Sai's back, Danzo smiled.

"I have finally waited for this day. The day that will make me the Hokage has finally come."

......

Karui, Omoi and Samui from the Hidden Cloud Village were now standing on the high wall of Konoha, looking at Konoha in horror.

It was at this moment that two Konoha ninjas blocked their way.

"Who are you?!"

"I'm Samui from the Hidden Cloud Village! I'm the village chief of the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Raikage sent me here."

After these words were spoken, the two ninjas nodded slightly and brought the three people to the ruins of Konoha.

Karui and Omoi looked at the ruins around them with shock.

"I'm sorry, everyone in Konoha has been very cautious recently." The Hyuga clan ninja said softly.

"Konoha no longer has surveillance personnel, and the village has become like this again."

"We are still wondering what happened," Samui asked.

"It was done by people from Akatsuki. The leader was Akatsuki's leader Nagato. The one who destroyed Konoha was a member of Akatsuki, Uchiha Kanon."

"What?! Uchiha?!" Samui was surprised.

"In short, please let us see the Hokage-sama as soon as possible!"

"We brought a letter from the Raikage to Hokage-sama."

Samui then learned that the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, was in a coma. Eventually, the Raikage's letter was finally handed over to the Sixth Hokage, Danzo, who is currently the Acting Hokage.

After reading it, Danzo also understood the above information. It was the question from the Raikage, why he protected Sasuke from being a rebel ninja for many years without doing anything, and the fact that Sasuke joined Akatsuki and captured Killer Bee. Finally, it was the Five Kage Meeting initiated by the Raikage to discuss the Akatsuki matter.

"Sasuke..."

"It turned out to be like this after all."

Samui looked at Danzo and said softly, "What about the Sixth Hokage's reply?"

"Put Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Kanon on the same SSS-level wanted list. I'll send someone to take care of him."

"Are you satisfied with this answer, Yunyin?"

Samui sneered, then nodded slightly: "It seems that there are still reasonable people in Konoha. This is exactly what our Raikage-sama meant."

"Everyone, please rest in Konoha first. I should also prepare for the upcoming Five Kage Summit."

......

Flower space.

The bandages in front of Kanon's eyes were still wrapped, but at this moment she could already feel the new light, which meant that she would be able to take off the blindfold soon.

"What have you been doing keeping yourself secluded for the past ten days?" Xiaonin asked.

"I think about my past experiences, but every time I do, I am replaced by despair," Hanane said softly.

"I don't know what's going on in the outside world."

"Don't worry, your eyes have been successfully transplanted and you will soon regain your new sight."

"I can already feel the light, but within this light there is only a new darkness."

"They should all be dead. Maybe Senior Brother's plan is back on track. The peace that Akatsuki hopes for should not be far away."

"Who knows." Xiaonin smiled faintly.

"I am still somewhat looking forward to the peaceful future that Senior Brother mentioned."

"Shinobu, it's time to start practicing today's ninjutsu."

"What ninjutsu should I practice?" Kanon fell into thought.

"Your eyesight is not healed yet, so the ninjutsu you can learn is very limited. I recommend that you wait until you regain your sight before learning."

"Rest well before that. You have been through too many battles before and are exhausted."

Shinobu said in a commanding tone, not giving Kanon any chance to bargain.

Hanane had no choice but to lie down on the flower field with her legs crossed. Although she couldn't see the blood-red sky due to the bandages, she still raised her head.

Gradually, Hanane fell asleep. She was sleeping soundly in her long straight black hair.

Xiaoshinobu got a blanket from somewhere and gently covered Kanon with it, looking at her face, as if this face, which was so delicate that it could be described as a painting, could allow Xiaoshinobu to see through everything.
