People raise Hokage in Yunyin

Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire, wearing a long fan-shaped hat and holding a folding fan, was sitting in front of the long table.

The three flame patterns on the fan above his head symbolize his identity.

On the left side of the long table, four ministers of the Fire Nation were sitting solemnly.

Opposite the four people, the ninjas of Konoha Village are located here.

Koharu, Mito Kadeno, Shimura Danzo and their capable subordinate Ryoma Aburame are located on the right side of the long table.

"Your Excellency Daimyo, we are here this time to elect the fifth Hokage of Konoha."

After turning to bed, Xiaochun said with some respect.

"Oh? Which talent is going to be the fifth Hokage?"

The daimyo asked casually, waving his folding fan.

"It's this one - Shimura Danzo, the leader of the village's secret force, a powerful ninja."

Mito Monobu stretched out his left hand at the right time and pointed at Danzo beside him.

"Oh?"

The daimyo's face was a little tangled, and there was a bit of struggle in his tone.

"Is this new Hokage a little old?"

After a little hesitation, he asked.

On the eve of the Fourth Hokage taking office, he came here to signal to himself, and the image of the young and sunny Fourth Hokage was deeply rooted in his mind.

Maybe, the new Hokage should be younger?

What's more, there was some hesitation in the daimyo's eyes.

If he didn't admit his mistake, he seemed to have seen the recommended ninja in front of him several times.

This ninja with fierce eyes appeared at the inauguration of the Third Hokage, the inauguration of the Fourth Hokage, and at various meetings of all sizes.

Looking at this middle-aged ninja who was aging almost at the same time as himself, the daimyo thought with some embarrassment, could it be that there is no one left in Konoha?

Boom!

Danzo stood up immediately after being questioned, and the stool he squeezed away fell to the ground due to the violent movements.

"Konoha was damaged in the Third Ninja War, and the Third Hokage died in the battle!"

"Konoha was invaded not long ago, and the Uchiha clan was completely wiped out!"

"The Hokage needed in such a situation can handle these situations and lead Konoha to prosperity..."

There was a hint of anger in his expression and his words were passionate.

"The Hokage everyone is waiting for...is me!"

His words were so confident, and he stared directly at the daimyo. The fighting momentum on the battlefield shocked the daimyo, and he had to use a folding fan to cover his face.

The atmosphere was a bit stalemate for a while. Historically, daimyo should not interfere too much in Konoha's internal affairs, but he just mentioned it casually and received such a rebuttal. Would it seem too weak to agree at this time?

The daimyo hesitated...

At that moment, a minister on the left immediately said: "Lord Daimyo, in this case, it seems good to entrust the position of Hokage to Danzo. I believe he will be able to give a satisfactory answer."

"Well……"

The daimyo pretended to be deep in thought for a moment, and waved his folding fan gently in front of his eyes.

"It's decided, you, Danzo, will be the fifth Hokage!"

The folding fan pointed suddenly at Danzo who was standing, and where the folding fan pointed was Danzo's ecstatic expression.

……

'I often think about what Naruto is...'

Wearing a black and white cat face mask on his face, wearing a ninja vest and carrying a short sword, Uchiha Itachi stood in the gloomy corridor.

In front of him was the top platform of the Hokage Building. Shimura Danzo, wearing a Hokage robe and holding a shadow hat, was walking by.

The sunshine in April is warm, but it cannot illuminate the cold hearts.

Danzo, who was walking slowly, faced the dazzling sunlight with a rare smile, unable to conceal his inner excitement.

The bandage that had been wrapped around his forehead all year round was removed, and his black hair was shortened and replaced with a short, spiritual look.

The two eyes are red with black stripes. Under the bright red blood, the black windmill has a strange attraction, which is fascinating when viewed from a distance.

Outside the pure white short-sleeved shirt, a plain coat was draped over the body. On the long cloak behind him were the words "The Fifth Hokage" written on it.

The sleeves fluttered as he walked, revealing his right arm that was completely wrapped in bandages.

The whole person was a little more energetic because of his clothes. Danzo, who was less than sixty years old, looked particularly young today.

The square below, directly opposite the high platform, was crowded with people.

Ninjas in vests, various civilians, and people in different costumes gathered together to watch this important event.

Danzo Shimura, wearing Hokage robes, walked to the front of the platform and had an unobstructed view of the scene in front of him.

"It's Danzo-sama!"

"Idiot, I'm going to call you Hokage-sama!"

"Hokage-sama is so handsome!"

Various sounds reached his ears, and Danzo couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated.

When the sound died down, Danzo put the shadow hat on his head and straightened the hat.

"From this moment on, I... Danzo Shimura..."

His voice was low and powerful, and his expression was solemn and upright.

"Will become the fifth Hokage!"

"I will lead Konoha... to a whole new level!"

He is so high-spirited and confident, and firmly believes that Konoha will be better under his leadership.

This overflowing self-confidence easily infected everyone in the audience, and cheers began to appear, coming in like waves.

'I once thought that Hokage was a person recognized by everyone and trusted by everyone...'

Uchiha Itachi, who was standing against the wall, looked at Danzo in the sun with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

His eyes easily swept through the dense crowd, and those older ninjas hiding among the fanatical crowds easily came into view.

Such a large base of Ninja clan members would show cold expressions from time to time, full of suspicion and uneasiness.

Or perhaps the two elders a little further behind Danzou, Koharu and Mito Kadobu, were also whispering at this time, and the breeze carried their voices.

"Is it really good for Danzo to become Hokage?"

"I don't know, but the matter has come to this, and there is no choice left..."

Even if he is a good friend of his classmate, don't you completely trust him?

'So what exactly qualifies as Hokage? ’

‘Is it strength? ’

The power of the Shodaime to calm the ninja world emerged in Itachi's mind. His poor brain could not imagine it, but he could vaguely understand the weight of the "God of Ninja".

Danzo's figure appeared before his eyes, his original body covered with Uchiha brand pendants.

There was a chill in his heart, he couldn't recognize such power.

'Then what exactly is Hokage? ’

He continued to look around, and in the shadows of the Hokage Building, one after another Root Ninja came into view.

Even in Konoha, Danzo was protected by a large number of root ninjas.

It is impossible for Danzo to have his house stolen in the village!

After the brief inauguration ceremony, Danzo turned around and walked back, his former gloomy look restored.

One after another, the root ninja stepped out of the shadows and bowed their heads humbly to signal to Danzo.

The root ninja hidden behind him stepped forward and patted Itachi on the back, waking him up from deep thought.

He knelt down on one knee like the seniors around him, signaled to Danzo, and followed behind him.

Looking at his fellow Nebe colleagues next to him, and then at Danzo's back in front of him, Itachi suddenly had a realization.

'It turns out...it's power...'

'The Hokage...is the most powerful person in the village! ’
