Chapter 440 440 Take the blame yourself!
All in all, Uchiha Fugaku, as well as the Hinata, Hatake and other families, secretly forced Sarutobi Hiruzen to abdicate.
Since no one is here to take the blame for you, it’s up to you to take the responsibility yourself.
This time, the major families had a surprisingly tacit understanding.
Anyway, they couldn't tolerate Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting in this position anymore.
Otherwise, would their big family still have a good life?
Sarutobi Hiruzen also suddenly realized that the suppression plan against the big families that he followed and proposed by Danzo was developing too fast.
Now that Kaguya's defection has occurred, all the hidden dangers accumulated before have been exposed.
Danzo originally proposed to implement more severe suppression on these big families, but this time he was strongly rejected by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The two old partners also had serious differences for the first time.
Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that if he continued to suppress the big family so blindly, sooner or later something like the Kaguya clan's defection would happen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that this method of cutting off his own arm was absolutely undesirable.
After some deliberation, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally decided to abdicate!
Resigned as the Fourth Hokage and ran for the Fifth Hokage after the war.
Danzo, who had longed to become the Hokage of Konoha when he was young, became anxious as soon as he heard about it.
He also wants to become Hokage!
He believes that he has inherited the will of his mentor, the Second Hokage Senju Hashirama, and he wants to return to the glory of Konoha during the time of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama.
After the last disagreement, Danzo Shimura increasingly felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi's behavior was too merciful.
His approach of being content with the status quo is simply impossible to lead Konoha to prosperity.
Unfortunately, the Naruto selection that Sarutobi Hiruzen took out did not include his name.
The three people written at the top - Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato!
Below are those such as Uchiha Fugaku and representatives of major families.
Those who have not even reached the shadow level know that they are just making up the numbers, and there is no way they can win the election.
And he, Shimura Danzo, was not even qualified to make up the numbers.
Of course, one reason is because the major families have a lot of resentment towards Danzo.
Secondly, there is the issue of Danzo’s age.
Like the fourth generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, he is already in his sixties and his strength cannot grow any more.
In this life, the only way to survive is to cross the threshold of film level.
As for Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato, all of them were above him in strength and talent.
It's never his turn.
…
…
It's winter in Konoha 49.
Lasting for more than ten years, it was the largest Third Ninja War since the Warring States Period.
It finally ended with Iwagakure retreating.
Two of the three ninjas, [Toad Sage] Jiraiya, [Lengjun] Orochimaru.
[Golden Flash] Minato Namikaze.
[Sharingan] Kakashi.
The names of these people are as shining as the Three Heroes of the Warring States Period in the past.
And when Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato returned from the northern battlefield.
Naturally, they were treated and sought after at a heroic level.
And with the complete victory of the Third Ninja War.
The campaign for the Fifth Hokage was naturally put on the agenda.
After Jiraiya learned about this, he immediately found his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Tell the other person that he is not suitable to be Hokage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew the character of his disciple, so he said no more, nodded, and removed Jiraiya from the list of candidates for Hokage.
As a result, Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru became the two most famous contenders for the position of Hokage.
…
…
Not only the villagers, ninjas, but also the younger generations such as Metkai, Yuhi Kurenai, and Sarutobi Asuma are actively discussing the election of the new Hokage.
In fact, Yuhi Kurenai and the others did not know that Sarutobi Asuma's father was Sarutobi Hiruzen, and they only thought that he was an ordinary member of the Sarutobi clan.
Asuma is actually the son of Hiruzen Sarutobi in his old age.
Asuma was not very interested in everyone's active discussion.
After all, it was his father who abdicated.
On this day, students such as Yuhi Kurenai, Mitarashi Anko, Sarutobi Asuma and other students gathered at the meatball shop in Konoha to discuss the election of the new Hokage.
"Everyone, who do you think can be the Fifth Hokage? I think it should be Minato-sensei? I've seen his Flying Thunder God Technique once. It's so powerful!"
The watermelon-headed Metkai said excitedly.
"What nonsense are you talking about! It should be Orochimaru-sensei!"
Anko, who was devouring the meatballs, glared at Metkai and said unconvinced.
"Lord Namikaze Minato is a disciple of Lord Jiraiya, and Lord Orochimaru, like Lord Jiraiya, is a disciple of the Yondaime. In terms of seniority, Lord Orochimaru is more likely."
Shiranui Genma speculated.
"You can't say that seniority is absolute, right?"
Ebisu pushed up his glasses, "The ninjas around me all have a higher opinion of Namikaze Minato-sama."
Yuhi Hong looked around and said curiously: "Strange, why didn't Kakashi come? Didn't he also be invited?"
"That guy...isn't in the mood?"
Metkai looked complicated, "After all, both Lin and Obito..."
The atmosphere fell silent for a while.
Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin died in this war.
They all heard about it.
One can imagine how Kakashi feels.
"Yeah! That's..."
Yuhi Hong's eyes suddenly flashed with confusion, and she trotted out.
Under the curious eyes of other students, he ran to a passing man and said, "Mr. Sasuke, long time no see!"
"Who is that?"
Asuma frowned subconsciously.
Ebisu, Metkai and others all shook their heads, indicating that they did not recognize him.
Hongdou recalled it for a moment, then suddenly remembered and said: "Oh! I remember! He treated us to meatballs before!"
"It's Hong. Long time no see. She has turned into a very cute girl."
"Sasuke" smiled and touched Yuhi's slightly curly hair.
Yuhi blushed slightly and asked curiously: "I haven't seen Mr. Sasuke for several years. Where has he gone?"
"I am doing business among various countries, and I just passed by Konoha recently to have a look."
"Sasuke" said, glanced at Asuma, Metkai and others in the meatball shop, and asked with a chuckle: "Is that your friend?"
"Yeah, I'm a classmate too."
Yuhi Kurenai invited: "Mr. Sasuke, I haven't seen you for several years. Let's eat some meatballs together."
"this……"
"Sasuke-san, please."
Yuhi Hong held up her little hand and said.
"Then...I won't be polite."
"Um!"
Yuhi Hong took "Sasuke"'s hand and walked into the meatball shop and introduced to everyone: "Everyone, this Mr. Sasuke is someone Anko and I knew before!"
"Will you treat me to meatballs this time too?"
Anko asked enthusiastically.
Asuma asked in a jealous tone: "Red, don't hold the hand of strangers casually."
Metkai looked curious, "It feels... a bit like the Third Hokage on Yan Diao."
