Chapter 239 Hiruzen, You Should Call Me Godaime!

"Teacher, Danzo-sama can not only inject new vitality into Konoha, but also has sufficient strength, prestige, and qualifications! As a member of the second-generation master's direct guard, his status is also very suitable for the fifth-generation Hokage. !”

Orochimaru explained with a smile.

Two voices in his heart were telling him: Danzo is the most suitable person to be Hokage right now!

There is no one!

If Danzo Shimura is not qualified, the others are even less qualified.

"Orochimaru, you are my disciple; and, hasn't your goal all along been to become Hokage?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and changed his words.

Orochimaru nodded first, then shook his head:

"I do want to become Hokage and do something for the village, but if there is a more suitable candidate, I will fully support him. Just like the fourth generation, I voted for him back then.

Now, I think Danzo-sama is more suitable. Isn’t it appropriate to vote for him?

This is a good thing for the village, right? "

Teacher, teacher, please calm down quickly. If someone is angry or forced to leave because of the position of Hokage, Konoha will suffer a huge loss, or even get into huge trouble.

‘Alas, you have indeed been blinded by your desire for power these years. ’

‘You don’t even understand this? ’

Orochimaru secretly said.

Then he glanced at Mito Monobu, Koharu who was sleeping, the two major families behind them, and the thirty or so jounin of the Sarutobi clan present, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He was very aware of the nonsense that was going on in the village.

These three families, especially the Sarutobi clan, are almost ready to form an army like the Uchiha before!

On the other hand, Namikaze Minato is no different from a puppet.

As the Fourth Hokage, Minato was really heartbroken at that time.

Jiraiya's disciple is very outstanding, with excellent strength, intelligence, character and other aspects.

But the fourth generation Minato has been in office for more than a year, and he did not follow the usual practice of selecting elites from the many outstanding successors of the major families or the jounin class to form his own direct shadow guard; instead, he selected from a group of small and medium-sized ninja clans Select the 16-year-old Shiranui Genma who had just been promoted to chuunin for two years, the 14-year-old Hinazaki Doujin, and the 10-year-old Dieivashi to serve as the Hokage's guards.

It turned out that some brats who had some talent but were far from mature were selected and trained from scratch.

Let a ten-year-old kid serve as a shadow guard?

Is Konoha so short of people?

This has also caused the Fourth Hokage's Shadow Guard team to become a joke.

Just imagine, if the Fourth Hokage's Shadow Guard consists of a multi-functional team including the sealing class, perception class, intelligence class, barrier class, etc., which includes the Nara clan, Akimichi clan, Yamanaka clan, Hyuga clan, Aburame clan, A team composed of at least dozens of special jounin, outstanding jounin and even elite jounin from many ninja clans including the Inuzuka clan participated in the escort work of the Nine-tailed Jinchūriki during childbirth...

Will the Nine-Tails Rebellion really break out?

You know, Minato's friendship with Inuzuka Ghisari, his friendship with Akimichi Donto and Akimichi Choza, his friendship with Nara Shikaku, his friendship with Yamanaka Kaiichi, his friendship with Aburame Shimi... As long as Minato opens his mouth, these... The outstanding jounin and elite jounin of the middle and younger generations of the Konoha clan are bound to be willing to give their full support.

According to the information he collected, he mentioned: Inuzuka Jaw, an excellent jounin, and Akimichi Dontou, an elite jounin, treat Minato as younger brothers!

People like Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, Yamanaka Kaiichi, and Aburame Shimi also regard Minato as their brothers through life and death!

The Shadow Guards formed by these ninja masters of the same age as Minato, even if they can't prevent the masked man in black from attacking the jinchūriki production, at least they can't even give a warning. After all, with the cooperation of this group of outstanding Jōnin, even Orochimaru couldn't kill them all quietly at once.

If one doesn't handle it well, he may even be plotted and get into trouble.

"Teacher, when you were in charge and forming your team, you were not as humble as Minato..."

Among all the Hokage, Namikaze Minato's team is the easiest.

When his wife gave birth, she had to borrow direct ANBU guards from the previous Hokage.

To say that Minato couldn't understand the twists and turns was even more unrealistic. That young man just doesn't want to quarrel with you older generation, doesn't want to stimulate your nerves, and wants to slowly change the current situation of corruption in Konoha.

Unfortunately, time did not wait for Minato.

"Teacher, haven't you noticed that the roots of Konoha under your leadership are almost rotting? You should just stay at home and take care of your old age, and don't come out to make trouble again. Danzo's position as the Fifth Hokage... I Baoding ”

Orochimaru's inner activities actually lasted only a few breaths.

At the Jonin meeting, voting ninjas and ninjas are still appearing one after another.

"Nara clan, Nara Shikama recommends Danzo-sama to be the fifth Hokage!"

"The Akimichi clan..."

"The mountain clan..."

"The Kurama clan..."

What is the general trend?

That's it!

The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan are the two most important clans.

Even though these two families have declined, their remaining power still affects the attitudes of many other families. Not to mention the one-sided agreement between many other large clans and the small and medium-sized ninja clans.

And the most important thing is Orochimaru's platform.

Orochimaru, in addition to being the disciple of the Third Hokage, is also one of the three ninjas of Konoha! He also has the honor of having fought in two great ninja wars.

Orochimaru's words can influence a large number of jonin.

But Orochimaru himself gave up the competition and chose to support someone, so this person would get more support from the jonin.

Then there are Jiraiya and Tsunade.

These two made mistakes frequently:

One taught a good apprentice, who came to Konoha to sweep the floor and almost flattened the village with the land.

The other one was obviously a nurse, but she had to charge into battle and was the first to be beaten, causing her team to fall into a passive situation of lack of nurse. In addition, before the hemophobia is cured, don't jump out and make trouble for everyone.

Therefore, no one present would be so tactless as to nominate these two as the fifth generation.

As for the Third Hokage?

He is the previous generation of Hokage, so why does he need to compete for the fifth generation? Do you have any shame? Everyone is competing for the fifth generation now, and the third generation and the like can just listen and watch quietly, and don't jump out to make yourself look bad.

The third generation came out to be the fifth generation?

Konoha can't afford to lose this person.

No one will agree to set this precedent.

"The Mitomon clan recommends Shimura Danzo as the fifth generation Hokage..."

"The Utatane clan recommends Shimura Danzo as the fifth generation..."

After Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu nodded, the other ninjas and jonins who didn't speak up actually didn't need to express their opinions.

In the jonin voting session, more than 70% of the jonin present chose Danzo.

The remaining 20%, no matter who they recommend, will not cause any waves.

The overall situation is determined!

A crushing victory!

Seeing this, Li Xia stood up, nodded with a satisfied smile, and then bowed to the people who supported him:

"Thank you for your trust in me...

Thank you for your support...

Thank you for your expectations of me...

Then, the position of the fifth Hokage, I, Shimura Danzo, will take the responsibility!"

"Pa pa pa..."

The whole audience applauded.

"Here, I would like to make a few more points... First, I will hire Orochimaru to assist the fifth Hokage and work with me to formulate the five-year plan for Konoha in the future..."

This also indirectly indicates that the next Hokage is Orochimaru!

Suddenly, the applause became stronger.

Those families and senior ninjas who are very close to Orochimaru have more brilliant smiles on their faces.

"In addition, I hire Nara Shikaku as a staff officer and the leader of the senior ninja class..."

This is also a high-ranking position.

It is the most powerful position under the consultant.

"The Konoha Finance Department will fund the expansion of the Konoha Hospital, and Tsunade will be the dean, responsible for training medical ninjas for the village... Koharu, is that okay?"

After hearing this, Koharu sighed and nodded:

"No problem."

After receiving such a positive answer, Li Xia's smile became even bigger.

Then he turned his head and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen again.

"Expand the ninja school, and any child in the village who has the qualifications to become a ninja can enroll. Build a Konoha library, add ten types of ninjutsu of the five basic attributes of wind, earth, water, fire, and thunder, open specialty training classes, and improve the early ninjutsu skills of ninja school students...

And I will be the principal!"

In terms of the school's ninjutsu, when Sarutobi Hiruzen was the principal, he only provided students with the basic three-body training methods.

This is not completely wrong, but it greatly delayed the good seedlings among the civilian children.

If civilian children do not show talents like Minato Namikaze, it is pure wishful thinking to want to obtain other ninjutsu from the school before graduating from the ninja school. Either the family provides it, or the instructor of the class will teach after graduation.

But what family background can civilian children have?

This is not friendly to the children of civilian families with good talents.

"Danzo, is there anything wrong with this?"

The old man of the third generation frowned:

Danzo, Danzo, don't mess around. Without the distinction between the ninja clan and the civilian family, it is equivalent to touching some people's cake.

Are you sure this is a good thing for Konoha?

And, he actually took away his position as the principal of the ninja school? Too much! How can he promote the will of fire?

He can't tolerate this!

"Hiruzen, you should call me the fifth generation..."
