Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan Chapter 555: The only candidate for Hokage
"Have you all heard that Danzo-sama personally led the team yesterday and rescued both the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki and the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan?"
"I heard about it last night..."
"It is said that he was rescued from Orochimaru who defected. If Orochimaru hadn't escaped quickly, I'm afraid even he would have been killed by Danzo-sama..."
In the streets of Konoha, people gathered together in twos and threes and talked.
The topic of discussion was all yesterday about Danzo personally leading a team to rescue the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki and the Hyuga Clan's eldest daughter returning home with a great victory. In just one night, the news spread to the streets and became a hubbub.
What is even more coincidental is that Danzo's action to rescue the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki and the Hyuga clan's eldest daughter happened to be the day before the village held a vote of confidence on the third generation.
With this rescue operation, Danzo's popularity in the village has greatly increased.
In the past, the villagers had only heard that there was an advisory elder named Danzo in the village. As for the details of what kind of person Danzo was, what achievements he had, etc., they had no idea at all.
Not to mention ordinary villagers, even among the ninjas of Konoha, not many are truly familiar with Danzo.
The vast majority of 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 will not be easy for him to directly ascend to power. After all, there are Jiraiya and Tsunade in the village. Such a qualified Hokage candidate was why he and Orochimaru teamed up to direct and act in this rescue operation.
Undoubtedly, under the vigorous publicity of Root Ninja, this self-directed and self-acted rescue operation had a very good effect, because the village that had suffered successive setbacks urgently needed a victory to vent its emotions and boost morale, and Danzo was in At this time, the village was given a victory, which satisfied the inner needs of most Konoha ninjas!
In the Hokage's office.
The third generation stood in front of the window with their hands behind their backs, looking at the rebuilt village.
Due to the unified planning, the layout of the reconstructed village is more reasonable than before, and various areas are maximized. This makes the reconstruction of the village cost a huge amount of money, but the effect is obvious. In just a few months, it was almost restored to the prosperous scene before the catastrophe.
Jiraiya and Tsunade were also in the office, but their faces were a little gloomy.
Ugh...
Suddenly, an ANBU came to the office. He first saluted the third generation and then reported: "Hokage-sama, the vote of confidence has begun!"
Sandai waved his hand: "Thank you for your hard work, please step back."
After the ANBU left, Tsunade frowned and said, "Teacher, are you just going to let him act like this?"
The 'he' that Tsunade was referring to was obviously Danzo who started this confidence vote farce.
Sandai sighed lightly and sighed with a tired expression: "The position of Hokage carries too many people's expectations. Since he wants to try it, let him try it."
Jiraiya was a little confused: "Is it really appropriate to hand over the village to someone like Danzo?"
The third generation turned his attention to Jiraiya and said displeasedly: "It's not that you don't want to take on this burden!"
Jiraiya shrank his neck and remained silent.
When Danzo created public opinion in the village that was unfavorable to the third generation, the third generation had already decided to bear the responsibility for the destruction of the village, removed himself from the position of Hokage, and asked Jiraiya to succeed him as the fifth generation Hokage.
Unfortunately, Jiraiya was used to being undisciplined and directly rejected the Third Generation's proposal. As a last resort, the Third Generation found Tsunade, and the result was the same as Jiraiya's. Tsunade refused with almost no hesitation.
Looking at the two disciples in front of him, the Third Hokage had a headache. Every time this happened, he would unconsciously miss the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato who died young.
Time passed like this little by little, and the three people in the Hokage's office fell into silence. No one spoke again, quietly waiting for the final voting results.
After a long time, Danzo Shimura, Koharu, Uchiha Fugaku, Hinata Hizashi, Nara Shikaku and several other high-level Konoha officials, as well as the heads of wealthy clans, came to the Hokage's office.
Boom...
Punching the crutch in his hand on the ground, Danzo announced to the Third Generation: "Hiruzen, the results have come out. Unfortunately, you did not pass the vote of confidence of all jounin."
Going to bed, Koharu took over the conversation and said: "Hiruzen, from now on, you will be relieved of the title of Hokage. However, as the third generation, you have the qualifications to nominate the next Hokage. Do you have a candidate?"
Three generations were not surprised by the voting results.
As the leader of the five major ninja villages, Konoha Village, which had gone through three ninja wars unscathed, was destroyed overnight. No matter what, someone must stand up and bear the blame.
Therefore, the third generation calmly accepted the results of the vote and turned his attention to Jiraiya and Tsunade. ~IndoMTL.com~ However, both Jiraiya and Tsunade avoided the eyes of the third generation and turned their faces to the side.
If the third generation is gone, driven by a sense of responsibility, some of them may stand up and take on the heavy responsibility of Hokage. However, while the third generation is still there, they have no desire for power. They have no desire for Naruto. The location on the crater is really uninteresting.
Seeing that Sandai was silent, Xiaochun turned to bed and sighed.
After the third generation stepped down as Hokage, the village's advisory elders were all qualified to nominate candidates for the next Hokage. When Koharu moved to the next generation, he encountered the same embarrassment as the third generation, that is, he had the qualifications to nominate, but 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 and others, lack strength and prestige and cannot bear the heavy responsibility of Hokage. , unable to cope with the current complex situation in the ninja world.
At this time, Danzo stood up, glanced coldly at everyone in the office, and said, "I nominate myself to succeed Hiruzen and become the next Hokage!"
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes narrowed when he heard this, but in the end he remained silent.
Although Danzo has a bad attitude towards Uchiha, he is weak after all. This time, in order to get the upper hand, he completely turned against the Third Generation. Therefore, even if Danzo ascends to the position of Hokage, Fugaku feels that he will not Dare to do anything to Uchiha.
Hyuga Hinata looked hesitant, but because Danzo had just rescued his eldest daughter Hinata, he really couldn't openly question Danzo, so he had no choice but to remain silent.
After meeting the third generation, Koharu, Jiraiya, and high-level Konoha leaders like Tsunade, as well as powerful clan leaders like Fugaku and Hizu all chose to remain silent. The clan leaders of other clans represented by Nara Shikaku He had no choice but to remain silent.
So, in the silence of everyone, Danzo became the only candidate for Hokage...
