Chapter 19: Danzo is sweating

The Nine-Tails Rebellion caused a large number of casualties and financial losses to Konoha.

Broken buildings, dead people, and a lot of work that needs to be done.

But before that, there is something more important.

"...Total casualties...Amount of property lost...The above is the loss caused by the Nine-Tailed Fox incident. The detailed data is still being compiled."

In the office, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo and other high-level officials were all there, as well as the heads of various ninja clans.

After deciding on the aftermath and compensation work, everyone began to talk about the Hokage.

Minato sacrificed himself, and the village cannot be without a Hokage.

Now it is urgent to select a new Hokage.

Utane Koharu was the first to mention it.

"It will take some time to recover from the disaster."

"Now, the most important thing is to select a new Hokage."

"What do you think?"

Representatives of several ninja clans looked at each other, and finally, Nara Shikaku of the Nara family put forward their opinions.

"The Fourth Hokage died, so it would be better to hand over the position of Hokage to the ninja after Minato."

"Seconded."

"Seconded……"

The heads of the Akimichi and Yamanaka clans all agreed. The Ino-Shika-Cho clans basically stood together, and Nara's opinion was theirs.

Not only them, but the ninjas present also had no objection to this proposal.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En frowned.

Utatane Koharu said: "Minato is already very young. The ninjas after him are too young and not experienced enough to lead the entire Konoha."

As a senior member of the family, she naturally understood the thoughts of each family.

The younger the person in power is, the more he needs to rely on the support of the ninja clan. If the new Hokage is a young person, regardless of which ninja clan he comes from, the voice of each ninja clan will be enhanced to a certain extent.

However, this did not conform to the ideas of the top management.

Konoha, which has just experienced a great chaos, does not need a young helmsman.

"Does anyone else have any ideas?" Utane Koharu looked at the other ninja representatives.

Everyone exchanged glances, but remained silent for a while.

When your leader asks you to give your opinions but does not adopt them, you should know that the leader has his own opinions.

In the field, the heartbeat of a well-known dark ninja began to speed up.

Danzo controlled the expression on his face, exerted force with his hips and thighs, and was about to stand up.

however.

The old rival in destiny had already sensed someone's thoughts in advance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up suddenly and said, "Everyone!"

"At a time like this, an old man like me can only take on the responsibilities of Hokage once again."

"If everyone still approves of me, then I can temporarily resume the position of Hokage."

Before the representatives of the various ninja clans could express their opinions, Danzo could no longer bear it.

He said with some anger.

"Huruzen, you have been the Hokage for quite a few years now, your achievements are obvious to all."

"You who once resigned from the position of Hokage, are you really capable of being the Hokage?"

"Yesterday, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, although you rushed to the scene, you were also helpless against the Nine-Tails, and failed to rescue the Yondaime."

Mitomon En frowned: "Danzo, you are going too far."

There was also a flash of dissatisfaction in Utane Koharu's eyes.

"That's enough, Danzo."

"Huruzen was unable to rescue the Yondaime because of special circumstances."

"Besides, where were you yesterday, the one who accused Hiruzen?"

“Where are your roots?”

Danzo gritted his teeth.

He couldn't answer.

This question is too difficult.

The representatives of the Ninja Clan were eating melons, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen broke the silence with his laughter.

"Hahaha, alright, everyone. This old man like me is just going through a short transition."

"After this period of time, the position of Hokage will have to be handed over to a more suitable person."

The top brass had no objection to this. Danzo was too busy to take care of himself.

The ninja representatives couldn't think of a better candidate and finally agreed to the proposal.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say how long this period of time would last.

Even Danzo, who cared the most about this matter, didn't ask.

Because he has his own plans.

A few days later, the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is out, so no one can stop Danzo from entering here.

After closing the door, he slowly walked over to his desk and sat down in the chair that represented the Hokage.

The chair turned slightly, and he saw the scenery outside the window, and saw the most prosperous hidden village in the ninja world - Konoha.

This will be his kingdom!

Recently, he found the ninja Hatake Kakashi who was beside Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The young man is just naive, just like his foolish father, who only has great strength.

He just said a few words like "Sarutobi Hiruzen caused Rin's tragedy" and "Sarutobi Hiruzen prevented you from joining the battle against the Nine-Tails and rescuing the Fourth Hokage" and he successfully instigated the rebellion.

Now, Sarutobi Hiruzen is on his way to meet the Daimyo.

Calculating the time, perhaps Sarutobi Hiruzen is already dead at this moment.

Looking at the increasingly bright sunlight outside the window, he, who had been hidden in the darkness, felt a rare surge of emotion.

[Hiruzen, you have been sitting in the position of Hokage for too long.]

[The past has proven that you are not suitable for this position. ]

[Only I, who seek light from darkness and find the future from killing, am a qualified Hokage. ]

[Just wait and see, Hiruzen. Under my command, Konoha will become the strongest in the ninja world.]

The heart beats strongly in the chest.

Danzo closed his eyes, trying to suppress his excitement.

He seemed to hear it.

Hearing the people of Konoha cheering for him.

I heard that people in the ninja world were spreading his fame.

He heard...

The sound of breathing behind me.

"I'm sorry, Danzo."

"This position cannot be given to others for the time being."

The slight sound was like thunder exploding in my ears!

The air was stagnant, and his heartbeat and breathing suddenly stopped.

The chair slowly turned, and a familiar old face slowly came into view.

The old friend who was supposed to be dead looked at him with a playful look.

Even if the other person's face is very serious.

He could still clearly feel the mockery in the other person's eyes.

It felt like I was masturbating in the dormitory and was caught by my mortal enemy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "You seem surprised that I'm still alive."

Danzo wanted to say that he didn't.

But I couldn't open my mouth.

Cold sweat oozed from his cheeks.

After a period of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again.

"If you like this chair, sit on it for a while."

Then he walked towards the office door.

"But, Danzo, this is the last time."

"Boom."

The door closed. Danzo then began to breathe heavily.

The single exposed eye was filled with shame and anger.

[Hiruzen, damn it!!!~]

With Danzo's blessing, Sarutobi Hiruzen took office smoothly.

Although there was no grand ceremony, the news spread quickly throughout Konoha Village.

The top leaders of the ninja clan remained silent about this.

In the meatball shop, young people including Kai, Xiurihong, Gangzitie and others were talking about it.

"What? I thought we would have a new Hokage."

"That's right, we made a bet on who would win, but now we've all lost."

"Hey, hey, you guys are taking this too lightly." Gang Zitie's opinion was different from everyone else's.

"After all, he is our Hokage, so we should show him some respect. Besides, it must be very hard for the Sandaime-sama to be in charge of the job of Hokage again at such an old age."

Others did not agree with him.

Regarding the Third Hokage, the opinions of the people in the major ninja clans and the civilian ninjas outside are not exactly the same.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xihihong tried to smooth things over.

"Well, well, after all, it's Hokage-sama who has taken over. Come, let's celebrate with meatballs."

"Hong, you celebrated with meatballs when the Fourth Hokage took over."

"That's why the third generation continues to use meatballs to celebrate when they come to power, to continue the tradition." Xihi Hong didn't think there was anything wrong with it and raised the meatball in her hand.

"Use meatballs, cheers!"

"...Cheers!~"
