Chapter 48 Danzo: How can anyone compete with me for the title of Hokage?

Two days later, the roots are within the base.

Shimura Danzo looked at the letter in his hand with an ugly face, his body filled with a chilling chill.

The Genbe ninjas on the side looked at Danzo with a depressed expression, not daring to take a breath for fear that they would get into trouble.

"Damn monkey! It will only suppress me from becoming Hokage!"

"Before it was Hatake Sakumo, followed by the Sannin and Namikaze Minato, but now an eight-year-old kid can spread the news about becoming Hokage!"

Danzo cursed viciously.

Regarding the recent rumors in the village that Sarutobi Hiruzen intends to train Link to become the next Hokage, although he does not fully believe it, he also remains deeply skeptical!

After all, who in the Leaf Village doesn't know that Danzo wants to be Hokage, and who doesn't know that Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't want Danzo to be Hokage? !

What if the other party is planning to train Link to become the next Hokage?

Moreover, although Link is still young at the moment, don't forget that Sarutobi Hiruzen is also the Hokage at his peak at this time!

Whether it is chakra, taijutsu or ninjutsu, they are all at the peak of the shadow level. It can be said that they stand at the top of the ninja world today.

Even if the other party continues to be Hokage for another ten years, there will be no problem at all!

Ten years later, Link will be eighteen years old, the time to be strong!

In this way, the other party really has a chance!

"Haha, but Hiruzen! You don't think everything can develop as you imagined, do you?"

Danzo took out another piece of material, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

This other piece of information stated that Kirigakure had conducted many testing and frictional contacts with Konoha on the front line.

With Danzo's keen sense of war, he instantly realized that this might be a sign that war was about to break out.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen still hopes to negotiate peace with Kirigakure, and is just fighting back against the temptations of other villages.

From Danzo's point of view, although Konoha is still strong today, it has lost the dominance it had when the first and second generations were still there.

If we cannot take the initiative to defeat a ninja village very decisively, but are attacked jointly by various ninja villages, we will fall into a long-term battle and only increase the number of sacrifices.

By then, Sarutobi Hiruzen will most likely be responsible for the Konoha ninjas who died in the war, and will be forced to voluntarily resign as Hokage.

And if he can make achievements in this battle, it will be a perfect opportunity for Danzo to succeed the Fourth Hokage!

Even if Link can really grow up in the future, as long as he doesn't give up his position!

Thinking of this, Danzo said to the root ninja beside him: "You continue to collect information from the village. The situation on the border is not good recently. I need to go to the front line in person to contribute to Konoha!"

The root ninja nodded and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

…

Hokage's office.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the information in his hand and looked confused.

"When did I say I wanted to train Link to be the next Hokage?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was confused for a moment.

Regarding the choice of the Fourth Hokage, his favorite candidate is Orochimaru or Namikaze Minato.

How did Link escape? !

Isn't he just an eight-year-old kid?

"The other party wanted to be Minato's disciple before...but now that the news comes out, it's going to be difficult."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought silently.

Among the top brass in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen was tacitly aware of the candidate for the next Hokage.

It's nothing more than a choice between Orochimaru and Namikaze Minato.

If the people in the village choose to believe this rhythm, then if he recommends Link to Namikaze Minato as a disciple at this time.

Wouldn't the top brass of Konoha think that the next Hokage will be Minato, and the next Hokage will be Link?

Although his heart does favor Minato at the moment, Minato is too young after all, and his achievements and qualifications are not as good as Orochimaru's.

If he expresses his attitude during this period, it will cause some waves within the village.

"Now that foreign enemies are facing us, we must not let this happen. It seems that we can only talk to Link and return half of the fee. Anyway, he has also accepted Matt Dai as his disciple, which can be regarded as completing half of the mission. It’s reasonable to get half the reward for the task.”

…

The residence of the Thousand Hands Clan.

"Why am I the next Hokage candidate?"

"Aren't these newspapers just spreading rumors? Which ninja village would let a child who is just eight years old become the next Hokage!"

"No one would really believe such an obvious rumor."

"And why has no one asked me my opinion and asked me if I would like to be Hokage?"

"Is it possible that they just assume that everyone wants to be this miserable Hokage?"

Link was speechless when he saw the prominent headline on the newspaper.

Unlike those Konoha elders who dreamed of becoming Hokage, Link had no idea at all about the position of Hokage.

To be more precise, in his opinion, the so-called Hokage is a hard-working position that involves overwork every day.

Not only are there a lot of external things, but internally the various families and old people like Danzo are also in trouble.

In the original book, Naruto, who became the Hokage, was as tired as a dog all day long, and even his shadow clone looked languid.

This is true even for a physical monster like Naruto, so I'm afraid he will become useless after just two years of work.

Wouldn't it be great for him to just be an ordinary ninja? He could just complete a few tasks and basically don't need to worry about money.

You can even work for a day and rest for a month.

After becoming Hokage, I am afraid that half of the day will be wasted on office work.

He doesn't want to be Hokage, whoever wants to be one can be one.

Link just wants to practice diligently and improve his own strength as much as possible to deal with various troubles in the future.

"These newspapers probably think that I and those second-generation villagers are wearing green tights, including Asuma, the son of the third generation, so they think I may be the next Hokage.

It seems that I have to explain clearly and tell everyone that this is just an ordinary training suit!"

Thinking of this, Link stood up and walked towards the newspaper office in Konoha.

He planned to ask the guys in the newspaper office to write a statement that this green tights is just an ordinary training suit.

The activities of these people are not like the ninja group training of the Anbu and the Root, but just ordinary exercise together.

The most important point is that he, Senju Link, has no intention of becoming Hokage at all!

"Brother Link, you are out!"

Just as Link was about to go out to the newspaper office, the little ghosts from the ninja school surrounded him with excitement: "Congratulations, Brother Link, for becoming the candidate for the next Hokage!"

"I heard from my family that this is true!"

"Then will we have the opportunity to become Brother Link's Anbu in the future? Don't worry, we will never be a drag!"

Looking at the excited expressions of the little ghosts from the ninja school, the corners of Link's mouth twitched slightly.

He suddenly realized that he might not be able to explain it clearly.
