"Have you all heard that Danzo-sama personally led the team yesterday and rescued both the Kyuubi Jinchuriki and the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan!"
"I heard about it last night..."
"It is said that he was rescued from the defected Orochimaru. If Orochimaru hadn't escaped so fast, I'm afraid even he would be dealt with by Danzo-sama..."
In the streets and alleys of Konoha, people gathered in twos and threes to discuss.
And the topic of discussion was all about the fact that Danzo personally led the team to rescue Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the eldest daughter of the Hinata clan and returned in a big victory yesterday. In just one night, the news spread to the streets and alleys, and there was a lot of excitement.
What's even more coincidental is that Danzo's rescue of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Hyuga Sect's eldest daughter happened to be the day before the village's vote of confidence in the third generation.
With this rescue operation, Tuanzang's popularity in the village soared.
In the past, the villagers only heard that there was such an elder advisor as Danzo in the village. As for the details of what kind of person Danzo was, what achievements he had, etc., they didn't know at all.
Not to mention ordinary villagers, even the ninjas of Konoha, not many are really familiar with Danzo.
Most of the Konoha ninjas in the middle and lower classes only know that there is a secret agency called 'root' in the village, and Danzo is the controller of this agency.
It is precisely because Danzo has been hiding in the dark, and his prestige in the hearts of ordinary villagers is not high, so even if the third generation is forced to step down, it is not easy for him to take the position directly. After all, there are qualified Hokage candidates like Jiraiya and Tsunade in the village, so he and Orochimaru teamed up to direct and perform this rescue operation.
Undoubtedly, under the vigorous publicity of Genbu Ninja, this self-directed and self-acted rescue operation has achieved very good results, because the frustrated village urgently needs a victory to vent its emotions and boost morale, and Danzo gave the village a victory at this time, satisfying the inner needs of most Konoha ninjas!
In Naruto's office.
The three generations clasped their hands behind their backs and stood in front of the window looking at the rebuilt village.
Because of the unified planning, the layout of the reconstructed village is more reasonable than before, and various areas have been utilized to the maximum. This makes the reconstruction of the village cost a lot of money, but the effect is obvious. It only took a few months to restore the prosperous scene before the catastrophe.
Jiraiya and Tsunade were also in the office, but their faces were a bit gloomy.
swish...
Suddenly, an Antribe came to the office, first bowed to the third generation, and then reported: "Master Hokage, the vote of confidence has begun!"
The third generation waved his hand: "Thank you for your hard work, you can step back."
After Anbu left, Tsunade frowned and said, "Teacher, are you just letting him mess around like this?"
The 'he' referred to in Tsunade's words is obviously Danzo who single-handedly set off this farce of the vote of confidence.
Sandai sighed softly, and said with a tired expression: "The position of Hokage has carried too many people's expectations. Since he wants to try, let him try."
Jilai also had some doubts: "Is it really appropriate to hand over the village to someone like Danzo?"
Sandai cast his eyes on Jiraiya, and said displeasedly, "It's not that you are unwilling to take on this burden!"
Jilai also shrank his neck and kept silent.
When Danzo created public opinion against the third generation in the village, the third generation had already decided to take responsibility for the destruction of the village, remove the position of Hokage, and let Jiraiya succeed him as the fifth generation of Hokage.
It's a pity that Jiraiya, who was used to laxity, directly rejected Sandai's proposal. As a last resort, Sandai found Tsunade again, and the result was the same as Jiraiya. Tsunade refused without hesitation.
Looking at the two disciples in front of him, the third generation had a headache. Whenever this happened, he would unconsciously miss the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato who died early.
Time passed by little by little, and the three people in Hokage's office fell silent, and no one spoke again, quietly waiting for the final voting result.
After a long time, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Uchiha, Fugaku Uchiha, Higashi Hyuga, Shikahisa Nara and several Konoha executives, as well as the patriarchs of the powerful clan, came to the Hokage office.
Boom...
Throwing the crutch in his hand to the ground heavily, Danzo announced to the third generation: "Hizan, the result has come out, unfortunately, you did not pass the vote of confidence of all jounin."
Turning to the bed, Xiaochun took over the conversation and said: "Hizawa, from now on, you will remove the title of Hokage. But as the third generation, you have the qualifications to nominate the next Hokage, do you have someone to choose?"
Three generations were not surprised by the results of the vote.
As the head of the five great ninja villages, Konoha Village, which has survived three ninja world wars and survived three times, was destroyed overnight. No matter what happens, one person must stand up and take the blame.
Therefore, the third generation calmly accepted the result of the vote, and turned their attention to Jiraiya and Tsunade aside.
However, both Jiraiya and Tsunade avoided the gaze cast by Sandai and turned their faces away.
If the third generation is gone, driven by the sense of responsibility, some of them may stand up and take on the burden of Hokage, but with the third generation still there, they have no desire for power, and they really have no interest in the position of Hokage on the crater.
Seeing that the third generation was silent, Zhuanzhu Xiaochun sighed.
After Sandai resigned from the position of Hokage, the elders of the village were eligible to nominate the next Hokage candidate, but Zhuanju Xiaochun encountered the same embarrassment as Sandai, that is, he was eligible for nomination, but there was no suitable candidate.
Jiraiya and Tsunade are obviously unwilling to take over the position of Hokage, and the new generation of Hokage, such as Kakashi, Shizune, etc., lack strength and prestige, and cannot bear the burden of Hokage at all, and cannot cope with the current complicated situation in the ninja world.
At this moment, Danzo stood up, glanced coldly at everyone in the office, and said, "I nominate myself to succeed Hizhan as the next Hokage!"
Uchiha Fugaku stared at the words, but finally remained silent.
Although Danzo has a bad attitude towards Uchiha, he is single and weak after all. This time he completely turned against the third generation for the sake of superiority, so even if Danzo ascended to the position of Hokage, Fuyue felt that he would not dare to do anything to Uchiha.
Hyuga Hyuzu showed hesitation, but because Danzo had just rescued his eldest daughter Hinata, he really couldn't openly question Danzo, so he had to choose to remain silent.
Seeing the third generation, turning to bed Koharu, Jiraiya, high-level Konoha like Tsunade, and wealthy patriarchs like Fuyake and Nikzuru all chose to remain silent, and the patriarchs of other clans represented by Nara Shikahisa had no choice but to remain silent.
Ever since, in the silence of everyone, Danzo became the only candidate for Hokage...
