I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 187 187. Jiraiya seizes power

"The evidence has been collected long ago...but are you and Tsunade-sama really ready?"

"The Sandaime and Danzo control the ANBU, and behind them are the Sarutobi and Inokacho families."

Kakashi questioned Jiraiya and Tsunade's plan. Having served as an ANBU, he knew how terrifying the ANBU and the Roots were. Although there were only sixty-four official members of the ANBU, including alternate members and support staff, There were hundreds of people.

Although Lord Jiraiya has dealt with ANBU, he does not understand the importance of ANBU.

This number of ninjas has surpassed all ninja clans, and only the Uchiha clan can compare.

Moreover, the power of the two major organizations, Anbu and Root, is almost in the hands of the Hokage and Danzo, and others cannot mobilize it at all. Even when Mr. Minato was the Hokage, the Third Generation and Danzo still had the power to command the Anbu.

After pondering for a moment, Jiraiya looked in the direction of the Hokage Building.

It was not that he had not considered these factors, but it was impossible for him and Tsunade to slowly infiltrate the ANBU and the roots. Civil strife was a taboo for the village. The sooner it was ended, the more damage to the village could be minimized.

After seeing Jiraiya's decision, Kakashi sighed softly, and then said: "Jiraiya-sama, I wish you and Tsunade-sama a successful start and let the wind of change sweep through Konoha as soon as possible."

After saying that, Kakashi handed the scroll he had prepared in advance to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya took the scroll, looked at Kakashi and hesitated to speak, and then left the Hatake family's mansion.

…

The next morning, it was still a quiet and peaceful day in Konoha.

After visiting the ninja clan and the old tribe respectively, Jiraiya and Tsunade led their former subordinates and surrounded the Hokage building and the ANBU base under the slogan of 'Qingjun's side'.

After seeing Jiraiya, the building guard greeted him as usual: "Jiraiya-sama, are you here?"

Jiraiya glanced at the guard, and after signaling with his eyes, two chuunin appeared behind him and took down the guard directly.

The guard of the building struggled hard and said with a confused look on his face: "Jiraiya-sama, I have always performed my tasks conscientiously. At most, I only accepted some gifts. I have never betrayed Hokage-sama!"

It's me who wants to betray the Third Hokage...

Jiraiya didn't speak, and led his subordinates to block communication between the Hokage Building and the outside world, and headed to the office alone.

From the door on the first floor to the Hokage's office on the third floor, there is only a few dozen meters.

The distance that could have been spanned in a few steps was very difficult for Jiraiya, and his mood was extremely complicated.

He had already seen the problems in Konoha years ago, but he had always avoided the problems by carrying out his mission. But now, he had to face the problems head-on and solve them in the form of a coup.

Finally, Jiraiya arrived at the office on the third floor, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

In the office, the Third Hokage was wearing a somewhat faded robe of a god.

As a veteran Kage-level expert, he had long noticed the movements in the outside world, and also knew that the Hokage Building had been surrounded by dozens of ninjas, and the ninjas who launched a coup against him were his two apprentices.

The Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya and said, "You're already here, why don't we, master and disciple, sit down and have a good chat."

Jiraiya did not refuse and sat down opposite the Third Hokage. The two of them chatted like a close master and disciple.

"Jiraiya, why did you have to launch a coup? You even took Tsunade with you."

"With the prestige of the two of you, as long as you participate in the Hokage election, the position of the Fifth Hokage will definitely be yours. There is no need to go to war and make the ninjas in the village laugh."

Jiraiya stared at the Third Hokage and said in a faint tone: "Teacher Third, you know the reason."

The Third Hokage sighed softly, and then said: "Are you worried about me not dealing with Danzo's affairs? There is a figure like Danzo in every village. Although Danzo is a bit cunning, he has done a lot Things that the Hokage cannot do..."

"As the Hokage, what if you want to promulgate policies that are beneficial to the village, but there are always obstacles from the Ninja clan in the village? As the Hokage, you can't personally take action against the Ninja clan. This goes against the will of the fire. You can only Reveal some ideas and let people like Danzo take action. As long as Danzo is punished afterwards, the hostility of the ninja clan can be alleviated."

"Even if it goes against the will of fire?" Jiraiya asked in confusion.

The Third Hokage nodded, with reminiscence in his eyes: "Yes, I will do this even if it goes against the will of fire. Only in this way can the power of the village be united and the village survive crisis after crisis. .”

"There is nothing I can do about it. I don't have the power of the first generation, nor the ability of the second generation to build a ninja village system. I can only rely on these shady methods and tactics to make the ninjas under my command listen to my orders."

Jiraiya was not moved by the Third Hokage's inner thoughts and asked instead:

"Is this why you sat back and watched the Kumogakure mission attack Hinata and acquiesced in Danzo's attack on Uchiha? Because the Hyuga clan was not obedient enough? Did Uchiha threaten the Hokage Building?"

"Then how could Naruto do it? Let the villagers discriminate against him, and then become the only light in Naruto's life? The third generation teacher is worthy of being a ninja hero, and his methods are indeed aboveboard."

The Third Hokage's expression changed slightly, and his words were no longer so confident.

It is true that he did not spread the rumor that Naruto was a demon fox, but he did acquiesce in the spread of the rumor, and the thoughts deep in his heart were exactly the same as Jiraiya's.

Controlling the Jinchuuriki is what every Hokage should do.

The first and second generations of Jinchuuriki are all the wives of the Hokage. He can only play the role of a grandfather in front of the Jinchuuriki. Once the Jinchuuriki's position deviates from his own, the position of the Hokage will also be threatened.

From this aspect, Minato posed a problem for him.

After sighing slightly, the Third Hokage said slowly: "I will not stop you from taking over Konoha and becoming the Fifth Hokage, but I am curious about what you plan to do after becoming Hokage to deal with the current crisis facing the village."

Jiraiya smiled and said: "There are only three steps in the current plan. One is to occupy the Hokage Building, the other is to disband the ANBU, and then capture Danzo and make all of Danzo's crimes known to the public."

"I see... Completely take away the power of us old men. Is this the reason for your coup?"

The Third Hokage took a deep look at Jiraiya and sighed: "You were not like this before. These plans and actions were all told to you by Naruto. That child is simply a monster."

"However, under your governance, the village may be even worse."

Jiraiya shook his head slightly: "Tsunade and I will manage Konoha well, and the situation in Konoha will not be worse than it is now. Old man, you may not know that almost all ninjas are disappointed in you."

"Until now, they have not taken any action and are not worried about the Hokage's safety at all."
