Chapter 231: Hiruzen's bad behavior and Danzo's attack
After listening to Haneda's explanation, Hiashi somewhat agreed with what Haneda said, but he was more surprised.
Hiashi saw clearly what Haneda was saying about the Sandaime.
Just like what he said, the Sandaime has always been weak in dealing with external affairs.
The Third Ninja World War was not so bad, as Konoha’s situation was really bad at the time, and the continuous wars forced the Sandaime to make compromises.
But it is different now. Konoha has withdrawn from the war with Iwagakure, and Kumogakure will undoubtedly be defeated if it faces Konoha alone.
Kakashi learned the Flying Thunder God Technique from the Fourth Hokage.
During the Third World War, the Fourth Hokage held back the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki many times by himself.
The Sandaime's weakness towards the outside world this time chilled Hiashi's heart, especially since the Sandaime even hinted at sacrificing his brother.
But Haneda arrives and promises to help resolve the Kumogakure issue.
The price was nothing more than following the rules, and through the alliance between the Uchiha and Hyuga, forcing the Sandaime to step down at the Jonin Conference.
After the Third World War, the Sandaime chose to resign from the position of Hokage under the heavy pressure of public opinion.
Now it is just a historical replay.
The key point is, with Haneda's strength and status, regardless of whether Hinata agrees or not, he can make Hinata agree "decently".
Rizu looked at Haneda with some gratitude in his heart:
"Excuse me, Master Haneda. We, the Hyuga clan, will support you at the Jonin Conference."
Haneda nodded slightly, not at all surprised by the result.
When he killed Ōnoki in front of tens of thousands of Iwagakure ninjas, he had a premonition that the succession to the Hokage would be unexpectedly smooth.
No matter which force in Konoha, in the face of absolute power, they can only choose to follow the trend of the times.
Especially those families with a certain background.
"The Jonin meeting will take place tomorrow morning, and the initiator is the Uchiha clan leader."
"You should also send a request for a meeting to the Sandaime before tonight."
"Just write the reason directly. The Sandaime is old and it's time for him to abdicate and let the younger generation take over."
After dealing with the Hyuga clan, Haneda looked towards the direction of the guesthouse.
Thinking that the people from Kumogakure dared to blackmail Konoha, he sneered in his heart and then strode towards the guesthouse.
…………
Sungai tribe.
After Haneda left, many elders frowned and retreated behind the clan leader and came to Rizu's house one after another.
At this moment, the usually serious Hiashi was obviously happy, and Hizashi beside him had a look of relief on his face.
Hiashi no longer has to die as a substitute for his brother Hiashi.
Neji would not lose his father and become an orphan.
Rizu glanced at the elders and said coldly:
"Master Haneda will help the Hyuga clan resolve today's matter."
"The price is that at the jonin meeting tomorrow morning, all jonin of the Hyuga clan must publicly request the Sandaime's resignation."
???
The elders were all puzzled, there was no need for the Hinata and the Hokage to go against each other just for a branch family!
Hitachi explained:
"Haneda-sama will most likely announce his candidacy for Hokage after the Sandaime steps down."
"He has made it clear that he is determined to run for the Fifth Hokage."
? !!
The elders didn't understand why Haneda suddenly wanted to become Hokage.
But they approved of the clan leader's behavior of standing on Haneda's side.
As long as Haneda runs for Hokage, only Kakashi can compete with him.
But Kakashi and Haneda are very good friends, and almost all the ninjas in Konoha know them.
This means that Haneda has no rival.
As for the third generation...
The elders tacitly agreed that the Sandaime must either step down voluntarily or be killed respectfully by Haneda.
…………
The information that Haneda took Naruto away and headed for the Hyuga clan's territory had already reached the Hokage Building.
The Sandaime continued to handle the Hokage's business as usual and assigned appropriate tasks to the ninjas.
In fact, when Shisui told him that Haneda was going to run for Hokage, the Sandaime acquiesced to all of Haneda's actions.
When Ōnoki was beheaded by Haneda in front of the Iwagakure army, the outcome was already determined.
Haneda is fully capable of leading the Uchiha coup.
But he didn't do that. Instead, he ran for Hokage within the rules.
The Sandaime did not try to drag his decayed body to resist.
In a sense, he is only the acting Hokage and will abdicate sooner or later.
rustling...
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the corridor, and Danzo pushed open the door and walked in quickly.
"Hiruzen!"
"The naturally evil Uchiha brat has reached a cooperation with the Hyuga clan!"
"He also went to the reception for Kumogakure and killed all the Kumogakure ninja there, leaving only one. He also announced in front of the villagers that Konoha would not sacrifice anyone's interests, and Kumogakure would fight if they wanted to!"
"Do you really think that wars between countries are just a game?!"
Danzo came in front of the Sandaime and stared at him with his left eye open.
The Sandaime said calmly:
"I know. He is in Konoha. Kumogakure doesn't dare to start a war."
"Also, Haneda is a naturally kind child. I have watched him grow up since a long time ago."
Hearing Hiruzen's words in favor of Haneda, Danzo suddenly realized that Hiruzen had given up struggling!
Danzo widened his left eye and questioned:
"Huruzen, have you forgotten what the naturally evil Uchiha brat said three years ago?"
"Hiruzen, have you forgotten what your teacher told you? The Uchiha are a clan that is born evil..."
"That's enough! Danzo! When the teacher was around, he didn't kill all the Uchiha!!"
"You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"
"I am the Hokage!!"
This time, Danzo did not leave in anger. Instead, his mood became calm:
"Are you still considered Hokage now?"
"As long as I sit in this position, I will be the Hokage!"
Seeing that Danzo had not given up, the Sandaime revealed Danzo's true colors:
"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking, Danzo?"
"You're not doing this for Konoha, you're afraid of death."
"I know that Haneda was destined to deal with you on the first day he took office."
Danzo stared at Hiruzen in amazement.
He couldn't understand why he worked so hard for Konoha and went through fire and water to carry out his teacher's will.
However, all of this was rejected by his lifelong best friend, on the grounds of fear of death.
Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, he loudly retorted:
"Everything I do is for Konoha! Hiruzen!!"
But this time, the Sandaime just took out a Hokage Order and a thick letter and handed them to him:
"You should leave Konoha, Danzo."
"Take this Hokage Order."
"The Fire Nation's ninjas guarding the border will not stop you."
"The money in the letter is all my salary as Hokage over the years. I saved it for my retirement. I'm giving it all to you."
"Take these and leave."
"Huruzen, you..." Danzo looked at Hiruzen with complicated eyes.
It turns out that my best friend has never abandoned me. He has arranged everything...
Danzo made up his mind at this moment that he would take away Shisui's eyes and turn everything around.
Whether it's for his own ideals or for Hiruzen!
He knew the inherently evil Uchiha brat too well.
When that brat comes to power, both himself and Hiruzen will die!
He cannot lose with his best friend and Konoha on his shoulders!
