Started as a Hokage

The matter of Sarutobi Asuma did not end so easily, when a group of people headed by Inokacho came to the Hokage's office building to ask for an explanation.

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been unwilling to come out to face them, allowing the two elders to shirk him several times.

This attitude made these ninjas even more furious.

You said that your son's problem has harmed Konoha's reputation, don't you have anything to say?

Not to mention committing seppuku, you still have to give us an explanation!

As a former Hokage, is this all you have to realize?

In the end, it was the two elders who reluctantly persuaded these irritable ninjas to come back.

But this anger may be difficult to dissipate in a short time.

After turning to bed, Koharu looked at the retreating figures of these people sadly, and said bitterly: "It's really troublesome now! Hiruzen is no longer here, what should we do?"

Mito Kadoyan sighed, holding his right rib that was leaking blood, and sat on the chair and said: "Oh, there is no other way. We can only take one step at a time. No matter what, try not to let Hiruzen come back." Konoha is in chaos."

After going to bed, Koharu glanced worriedly at his old friend beside him, and used palm sensu to treat Mito Gate inflammation. He said dissatisfiedly: "Danzo has gone too far. He actually sent people from the Root Organization to assassinate Hiruzen. Fortunately, It's just a shadow clone, otherwise..."

When he said this, Koharu's face became particularly ugly, and he was also very angry when he talked about Danzo.

Mito Kadenen excused Danzo: "The people who assassinated Hiruzen were wearing the clothes of the Genji Group, and they were sent by Minamoto Sougi!"

After turning to bed, Koharu glanced at Mito Mono angrily, causing the old man to speak in a lower and lower tone, and in the end he had no confidence at all.

There was indeed something wrong with what he just said. If Minamoto Shugi really sent an assassin to assassinate Sarutobi Hiruzen, why would he wear his own clothes?

Moreover, the ninjas who had just taken action were all using ninjutsu from the village, and even secret techniques of the Nara family such as the shadow head-hanging technique.

This is obviously the Nara family who participated in the assassination operation, and there is a hairy Nara family subordinate over there.

Only the root organization under Danzo can have such core family ninjas who are direct descendants of the Hokage.

Koharu, who went to bed, felt particularly angry because of this, feeling that his intelligence was being despised by Danzo.

You said you were pretending, but you used something you only had at home to frame the blame so obviously. Do you think we two old guys are fools?

Such a fool for us!

It's normal for them to think so, because the secret techniques of the Nara family or the other two families are not so easy to learn, especially secret techniques such as shadow techniques, which require proficiency in the Yin attribute chakra to be used.

Judging from the proficiency of the assassinated ninja, he was at least a jounin-level ninja.

Ninjas of this level are still from the Nara family, and it is impossible to be recruited by people outside the Hokage line.

Apart from ANBU and the Nara family having such ninjas, only the root organization would have such ninjas.

They had never thought that although the Nara family did not sell special jounin-level ninjas, they did sell jounin-level ninjutsu scrolls.

I didn't even expect that Gen Shuyi would have scientific ninja tools that could use various types of ninjutsu and the technology to make scrolls smaller.

This led to Danzo, the pot king, taking the blame again for no apparent reason.

But if you think about it carefully, Danzo did indeed assassinate Sarutobi Hiruzen, so the blame is not in vain.

But what the two elders didn't expect was that not long after the assassination, the two men actually received an invitation from Danzo to come to the Shimura house for a talk.

The two elders looked at each other, eyes full of questions.

What the hell is this kind of thing after just assassinating someone and then coming here to invite someone?

Are you here to show off your muscles?

The two elders didn't know, but it was impossible for them not to go.

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen came back, they had to try their best to stabilize the situation.

Especially Danzo, this guy can't be controlled by others. Only the two elders can barely show some face in front of him, so they can at least make him fearful.

It was just that they had just been assassinated, which made them a little unsure whether Danzo was ready to bring them and Hiruzen together.

This old madman really has this possibility.

There is Danzo in front and Minamoto Sougi behind.

The two elders sighed, feeling that with their old arms and legs, it might be difficult for them to survive this year.

When they arrived at Shimura's house, they were surprised to find that Danzo was very polite.

There was no discomfort at all as he had just assassinated the two people opposite him, and his enthusiasm made both elders a little nervous.

The wary eyes of the two friends across from him made Danzo a little hurt. He restrained some of his disguised enthusiasm and returned to his expressionless face.

This made the two people opposite feel relaxed.

"..."

Danzo was speechless.

"Danzo, stop talking in circles and tell us your purpose?" Koharu had a bad temper when he was young, and now he is even more irritable as he gets older, not to mention that he was assassinated by someone from the Root Organization before.

It was not polite to treat Danzo at this time.

Danzo frowned, realizing that the two people opposite him were not very friendly towards him.

Why?

However, Danzo didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, most people over the decades were not very friendly when they saw him, and they were well aware of Koharu's temper, so he didn't take it to heart.

"I know that Hiruzen went to the Daming Mansion and wanted to come back and serve as Hokage again. It's just that I don't accept it. When the teacher asked us, that monkey was just one step ahead of me and became Hokage for decades. Why? ? Finally got off the stage, and now he has to become Hokage again. How come the Hokage belongs to his Sarutobi family?" Danzo burst out with resentment, and even gritted his teeth when talking about the previous grudges between Sarutobi and Hiruzen.

He had been dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi for many years, especially when he became Hokage, his dissatisfaction turned into jealousy.

This jealousy has been in his heart for decades, tossing him to the point where he is neither a human nor a ghost.

Now that he finally had the opportunity to become Hokage again and resolve some of his jealousy and resentment, Sarutobi Hiruzen jumped out again. How could this not make him crazy with hatred.

If you want to come back and be Hokage, you should have said it earlier!

Why didn't you say anything when I tested you before?

You were doing Tai Chi with me before, and now you are stabbing me in the back. Is this what you, Hiruzen Sarutobi, did?

Danzo has now been blinded by the position of Hokage, and he no longer treats Sarutobi Hiruzen with the comradeship he once had, but instead is full of resentment.

This appearance further convinced the two elders that the assassination just now was done by Danzo.

"Koharu, Men Yan, come and help me. I can do better than that guy Sarutobi Hiruzen. His character is too weak and cannot hold up to the weight of a Hokage."

Danzo waved his hand and looked at the two elders with burning eyes.

The two elders quickly lowered their heads and sipped their wine without speaking.

Damn, you just came to assassinate us, and now you come to win over us. This is a slap in the face, right?

With your crazy behavior, there's no way Konoha could change for the better if it's left to you.

Seeing the behavior of the two elders, the eagerness in Danzo's eyes faded a bit, and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to help me. Now that Hiruzen Sarutobi is not in Konoha, we can open a high-level meeting at any time and directly vote for the new Hokage. As long as Hiruzen Sarutobi becomes Hokage before he comes back, so what if he can convince the Daimyo? ! I don’t believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen dared to change the result regardless of Konoha’s decades-long reputation.”

At this time, Danzo discovered that the fifth generation election ceremony that Minamoto Sougi had done was really wonderful.

As long as you succeed in becoming Hokage in the voting, your success will be cooked, and then spread throughout the Fire Country through this grand ceremony.

With the character of Sarutobi Hiruzen, it was impossible for him to ignore Konoha's reputation for nearly a hundred years and force him to abdicate.
