Chapter 555 The only Hokage candidate (seeking the moon)
"Have you heard that, Lord Danzo personally led the team yesterday and rescued the eldest daughters of the Jiu-Tail Tsukijiriki and the Hyuga Soong family!"
“I heard about it last night”
"It is said that he was rescued from the defected Orochimaru. If Orochimaru had not escaped quickly, he would have been dealt with by Lord Danzo."
In the streets and alleys of Konoha, people gathered together in groups of three or three and discussed.
The topics of discussion were all about Danzo personally leading a team to rescue Jiutailujiriki and the eldest daughter of the Hyugasozo family, and returned home in a great victory in just one night. The news spread to the streets and was full of controversy.
What's even more coincidental is that Danzo's rescue of the daughters of Jiutail Tsukijiriki and Hyuga Soon's family happened to be the day before the village voted for trust for the third generation.
With this rescue operation, the people in the village were highly anticipated.
In the past, villagers only heard of a consultant elder like Duanzang in the village. As for the details of what kind of person Duanzang was, what achievements he had, etc., they didn’t know.
Not to mention ordinary villagers, even Konoha's ninjas, not many people are really familiar with Danzo.
Most of the Konoha Ninjas in the middle and lower levels only know that there is a secret mechanism called "Root" in the village, and Danzo is the controller of this mechanism.
It is precisely because Danzo has been hiding in the dark and has a low prestige in the hearts of ordinary villagers that even if he forces the third generation to step down, it is not easy for him to take office directly. After all, there is also a candidate for Naruto like Jiraiya and Tsunade in the village who meet the conditions, so he and Orochimaru jointly directed and acted in this rescue operation.
Undoubtedly, under the strong publicity of the Neizu Ninja, this self-directed and self-acted rescue operation has had a very good effect, because the repeatedly frustrated village urgently needs a victory to vent its emotions and boost morale. Danzang gave the village a victory at this time, meeting the psychological needs of most Konoha Ninjas!
In the Naruto office.
The third generation stood in front of the window with their hands behind their backs and looked at the rebuilt village.
Due to the unified planning, the rebuilt village is more reasonable in layout than before, and various areas have been 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 almost returned to the prosperous scene before the catastrophe.
Jiraiya and Tsunade were both in the office, but both of them looked a little gloomy.
Swish
Suddenly, a dark tribe came to the office and saluted the third generation first, then reported: "Sir Naruto, the vote of trust has begun!"
The third generation waved his hand: "Thank you for your hard work, you can step back."
After Anbe left, Tsunade frowned and said, "Teacher, are you just letting him do this?"
The ‘he’ mentioned in Tsunade’s words is obviously the tuanzang who set off this farce of voting for confidence.
The third generation sighed lightly and said with a tired expression: "The position of Naruto bears too many 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 Duanzang?"
The third generation turned their attention to Jiraiya and said unhappily: "It's not that you are unwilling to take on this burden!"
Jiraiya shrank his neck and kept silent.
When Danzo created public opinion that was unfavorable to the three generations, the three generations had already decided to bear the blame for the destruction of the village, remove the position of Naruto, and let Jiraiya succeed him as the fifth generation Naruto.
Unfortunately, Jiraiya was used to being casual and directly rejected the proposal of the third generation. As a last resort, the third generation found Tsunade again. As a result, he 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 time came, he would unconsciously miss the fourth generation of Naruto Shirou Fengmizu Gate who had risen up early.
Time flies by little by little, and the three people in the Naruto office are silent. No one speaks anymore, and quietly waits for the final voting results.
A long time later, Shimura Danzo, turned to Xiaoharu, Uchiha Fugao, Hinata Hirasa, Nara Kazuku and other senior Konoha, as well as the patriarchs of the rich clan, came to the Naruto office together.
Dong
He put the crutch in his hand onto the ground and Danzo announced to the third generation: "Hizhan, the result has come out. Unfortunately, you did not pass the trust vote of all the Shanginin."
Zhuannei Koharu took over the conversation and said, "Hizon, from now on, you will remove the title of Hokage. However, as a third generation, you are qualified to nominate the next Hokage. Have you chosen anyone?"
The voting results were not surprising.
As the leader of the five major ninja villages and has experienced three ninja wars, Konoha Village was destroyed overnight. No matter what, one person must stand up and bear the blame.
Therefore, the third generation accepted the vote calmly and turned their attention to Jiraiya and Tsunade on the side.
However, both Jiraiya and Tsunade avoided the gazes cast by the third generation and turned their faces to the side.
If the Third Generation is gone, driven by responsibility, some of them may stand up and take on the burden of Naruto. However, when the Third Generation is still there, they have no desire for power and are really unable to be interested in Naruto's position on the crater.
Seeing that the third generation was silent, Xiaochun sighed.
After the third generation stepped down as the Naruto position, the village consultant elders were qualified to nominate the next Naruto candidate. However, Xiaoharu encountered the same embarrassment as the third generation, that is, he was qualified to nominate but had no suitable candidate.
Jiraiya and Tsunade are obviously unwilling to take over the position of Naruto, and the new generations in the Naruto line, such as Kakashi, Shizune and others, lack strength and prestige, and cannot bear the burden of Naruto and cannot cope with the complex situation in the current ninja world.
At this time, Danzo stood up, coldly glanced at everyone in the office, and said, "I nominated myself to replace Hinaru and become the next Hokage!"
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes narrowed when he heard this, but he remained silent in the end.
Although Danzo has a bad attitude towards Uchiha, he is weak after all. This time, in order to get ahead, he completely turned against the third generation line. So even if Danzo ascended the Naruto position, Fugao felt that he would not dare to treat Uchiha.
Hinata 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.
When I met the third generation, I changed my mind to Xiaoharu, Jiraiya, Konoha seniors like Tsunade, and the patriarchs of the tyrant clans like Fugaku and Hirasa all chose to remain silent. The patriarchs of other clans represented by Nara Kazuku had to remain silent.
