One Punch Naruto

"If I remember correctly, Advisor Danzo has always wanted to be Hokage since decades ago." Jiraiya looked sideways at Danzo with a hint of smile in his tone: "Now the old man If he died, wouldn't it just leave a vacancy for Advisor Danzo?"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In my opinion, there is no need to look for Tsunade anymore. It is better for Danzo's advisor to succeed the Fifth Hokage. I believe that under Danzo's advisor, no, it is the Fifth Hokage. Under the leadership of Danzo-dono, our Konoha Village will definitely develop better, and eliminating these current crises is just a piece of cake." Jiraiya said, and gave Danzo a thumbs-up, but he In Danzo's view, this action was full of ridicule.

"Duan" Jiraiya wanted to continue to say something, but was rudely interrupted by Danzo. He looked at the strange Jiraiya and roared angrily: "That's enough! Stop talking."

Danzo pointed his finger at Jiraiya, his whole body was shaking, and even his lips were trembling with anger. The other person's words were like putting him on the fire.

"What's wrong?" Jiraiya looked surprised and looked at Danzo jokingly: "Did I say something wrong?"

"Could it be that Danzo you want to say that you don't want to be Hokage?"

Without thinking, Danzo almost blurted out: Of course I don't want to be Hokage.

But just when he was about to speak out, he suddenly realized that the three people present knew all about his little thoughts. When Namikaze Minato died, he was the first to jump up and down. If he wants to become the fifth generation, if he says that now, it will be like a thief who has stolen something and says in front of the police that he does not want to steal anything. It has no use except making the other party more contemptuous.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Danzo changed his explanation.

"I admit that I did have the idea of ​​competing for Hokage in the past." Danzo said slowly at first, then changed the topic and sighed deliberately, "It's just that I am almost seventy years old now, and my energy has been greatly reduced. , I no longer have such thoughts.”

"The position of Hokage should be left to you or Tsunade."

Of course, Danzo dreams of becoming Hokage, but he is not stupid. He is very aware of the extent of his disadvantages.

The election of the Hokage is divided into three steps. The first step is a high-level meeting, which is actually the discussion between the three advisors, plus Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage. The second step is to inform the Fire Country Daimyo of the results decided by the four of them. See if the other party agrees.

Of course, this step is actually just a matter of situation. Although Konoha nominally belongs to the Fire Country, and the Hokage is one level lower than the Fire Country daimyo and is the other party's minister, in fact, the two parties are only in a cooperative relationship, even if they are the Fire Country daimyo He is also not qualified to give any orders to Konoha. This has been negotiated with the other party since the founding of Konoha.

The third step is for the final jounin to vote. All jounin in Konoha vote whether they agree or not. This step is also critical. In theory, if the new Hokage is opposed by a large number of jounin, then he will only I can abdicate.

Of course, this is only theoretical. After all, the ninjas who can be shortlisted as Hokage candidates are generally the best people in Konoha. The ones who can finally stand out and become Hokage are even better and will not be boycotted on a large scale for no reason.

But Danzo is different. If he were twenty years younger, he might still have a chance to succeed. But now, unless Tsunade and Jiraiya are dead, even if he relies on Mito Gate Flame and Even if Koharu's influence is forced to pass through the first step, he will not be able to convince the public. He will be criticized by the Jonin and the Fire Country daimyo and will not be able to step down, so he can only abdicate in despair.

Although the Daimyo of the Land of Fire does not have direct control, he is still Konoha's money bag and the nominal boss, so he is still very influential. Otherwise, Konoha would not send Jonin to protect his safety.

"Yes, Jiraiya, Danzo is right. The three of us are already old. It would be better for Tsunade to succeed the Fifth Hokage. The three of us only need to help Tsunade with peace of mind. You It's better to set off quickly to bring Tsunade back." After Danzo finished speaking, Mito Kadoyan also said quickly.

But what makes the three of them helpless is that no matter how much they express their feelings, act rationally, or speak out, Jiraiya still looks like he is indifferent and refuses to go out to look for Tsunade.

Seeing this situation, the three of them were not stupid, and they all understood that Jiraiya was retreating in order to take revenge on them for rejecting his request just now.

In desperation, the three of them got up, leaving Jiraiya alone here, and walked to another room connected to the Hokage's office, and Jiraiya watched them leave without any haste, without stopping them at all. the meaning of.

After walking in, Danzo was the first to say angrily: "Damn it, Jiraiya actually dares to threaten us in this way. It's so lawless."

"But, judging from his appearance, if he doesn't agree to his request, Jiraiya will not go out no matter what." Mito Kadoen said with a frown.

Danzo said angrily: "Even so, we absolutely cannot agree to his request. The worst, the worst we can do is send people to find Tsunade ourselves."

"Konoha was founded by her grandfather. As Lord Hashirama's granddaughter, Tsunade will definitely come back to succeed Hokage and protect Konoha."

After hearing Danzo's words, Mito Kaden and Koharu didn't say anything on the surface, but they both disagreed in their hearts.

The two of them knew that Tsunade had always hated the three of them. Even Jiraiya, the companion who had the best relationship with Tsunade, was not completely sure that he could invite Tsunade back, let alone them. .

And if Tsunade was really what he said, she wouldn't have left Konoha before the Third Ninja War was over.

"Actually, Jiraiya's request is nothing." After a while of silence, Koharu turned to bed and said hesitantly, "Staying with Jiraiya may be the best protection for Naruto."

"If even Jiraiya can't protect Naruto's safety, then even if he leaves him in Konoha, it won't be much safer. After all, we can't use all our strength to protect Naruto."

"So you mean to compromise with him?" Although Koharu said it tactfully, Danzo immediately understood what she meant.

"I also think about the village. Konoha's current desolate life must not continue." Koharu defended herself. After saying that, she looked at Mito Kadoyan, "I think Kadoyan thinks the same way. Yes."

Under Danzo's gaze, Mito Monoyan also nodded.

"You, you two." Danzo said angrily.

"Danzo, I understand your feelings, but the most important thing now is to let the new Hokage succeed." Mito Kadoyan advised, "Besides, what Jiraiya said makes sense. In order to make Tsunade agree, It doesn’t really matter if you come back and agree to his request.”

Danzo had many calculations, but he missed one thing, that is, one thing has two sides. Although he took advantage of the indecisive characters of Koharu and Mito Monobu to make them give up supporting Jiraiya, But Jiraiya could also turn this around and use it against him.

Therefore, under Jiraiya's soft threat, the two changed their attitudes again.

"Anyway, it's impossible for me to agree to that guy Jiraiya's request!" Danzo roared angrily, and then left the room.

Seeing Danzo slamming the door and leaving, the remaining two looked at each other helplessly.

After turning to bed, Koharu said: "It seems that it is really difficult for Danzo to accept this."

"Alas." Mito Kadoyan sighed, "I have no choice but to aggrieve him. I believe Danzo will understand. After all, we are doing this for Konoha."
