I Thought I Could Raise Hokage

When Shimura Danzo received the order, he was at a loss.

The ostensible order is to assist in the defense of the Daming Mansion, but isn't the inner meaning to let him monitor every move of the Daming?

This is treason!

A task that will be taken out as a scapegoat if it is not handled well!

What does that old friend think he is, a trash can? Leave all the dirty work to him? Is this what a Hokage should do?

Shimura Danzo really thinks he has no temper!

Leaning on his ninja sword, the old man gloomily glanced at his old friend in Hokage's position, and shook his head lightly: "Monkey, you can just write a handwritten letter to me, kill the daimyo, and you will be relieved." Konoha's worries..."

"Don't try again, Danzo..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi played with the match in his hand and squinted at him: "The Kingdom of Fire will fall into civil strife without a famous name. This is absolutely not allowed."

"Do you think Konoha will be able to live in peace with the daimyo after the Fourth Kazekage usurped the throne in Sand Hidden Village?" Shimura Danzo closed his exposed eye, and continued softly: "However, I did think of a way ..."

"That's not something you should be thinking about."

The Third Hokage sat on his chair with his head up, and blew out a smoke ring leisurely: "I don't want to hear it either, you just need to execute the order..."

"..."

Danzo Shimura took a breath, and clenched the ninja sword in his hand!

Don't be too bully!

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi chuckled a few times, stretched out his hand symbolically to calm his emotions, and said: "Jiraiya and Tsunade are indeed younger, what's so good about you Any ideas?"

Shimura Danzo is really good at doing these shady things sometimes. His thinking is always very peculiar, which can be described as unconstrained. Although it will leave some troubles, it can also receive some miraculous effects.

The country of fire is such a difficult problem, maybe Shimura Danzo really has some special way? It's better than they sit and wait to die!

"hostage…"

Danzo Shimura got up slowly, and stood in front of Hiruzaru Sarutobi's desk: "Taking Hokage candidates as hostages can temporarily exchange for Daimyo's trust... We can calmly arrange the situation in the Nation of Fire, whether it is an offensive wind The country of the land is still attacking...the country of the earth."

Well, his well-thought-out plan.

In the Warring States Period, there was once a country that sent important people as hostages to the enemy country to ensure peace. Danzo-sama’s idea was very simple, but he sent Konoha’s Hokage over. This method would definitely not be approved by Hokage himself...

Then let Hiruzaru Sarutobi designate the next Hokage candidate, and send that Hokage candidate to the Daimyo Mansion, since he cannot come back alive anyway!

In this way, he can solve a stumbling block on his way to the position of Hokage!

"Are you asking me to appoint Konoha's Fifth Hokage?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi stared at his old friend's one eye, and said word by word: "But what if there is something wrong with the Hokage candidate in Damingfu?"

"Isn't that just right..."

The Dark Cloud of Konoha sat back on his seat lightly, and continued lightly: "We have the name of dealing with the daimyo, at least the village won't have any opinions... isn't it, monkey?"

Sarutobi Hiruza: "..."

What this guy said really made sense!

If Hokage candidates encounter any unfair treatment in the Daimyo Mansion or are even assassinated by the daimyo, that will just give Konoha an excuse to enter the Daming Mansion. At that time, whether it is to abolish the daimyo or choose another candidate...

And there is a problem with the Hokage candidate,

That is an insult to the entire Konoha Village. Not only will the Konoha ninjas not have any opinion on Hokage's resolution, but they will fight against each other...

The most critical issue here is that the ninja who was selected as the Naruto candidate is basically the Fifth Hokage who is going to designate Konoha.

The Third Hokage took a look at Danzo, waved to summon Anbu, and whispered: "Notice, I'm going to hold a Jōnin meeting!"

He chose to adopt Shimura Danzo's opinion.

Because the situation in the ninja world has indeed reached a critical period, the next Hokage is appointed in advance, and he can help take care of it for a while...

As for sending Hokage candidates as hostages in Damingfu, these are minor issues. There are two teams of ninjas stationed there all year round, so what could go wrong?

Hiruzaru Sarutobi felt a little pleasing to his eyes when looking at his old friend. Sometimes, he really couldn't underestimate Konoha's wisdom!

This kind of idea can also be thought of!

"Of these people in the village, who do you think is the most suitable to become the fifth generation?" Third Hokage smiled kindly, looked at his old friend and continued: "I think the most suitable people at present should be Jiraiya and Tsunade. Come on!"

"If you think your disciple can endure the life of a hostage, I have no objection!" Shimura Danzo snorted coldly, and continued: "That guy Jiraiya, I'm afraid he will cause some trouble in the Daming Mansion soon. Bar!"

"If you want Konoha and the Daimyo to live in peace, you'd better think carefully. This matter can also test how Hokage, who is Konoha's future, can get along with the daimyo!"

In the whole Konoha, apart from the Uchiha clan, the ones he dislikes the most are Sarutobi Hiruza and Jiraiya! Two vicious men who have no awareness of being a ninja at all!

More importantly, once Jiraiya becomes Hokage, it basically means that Jiraiya's young disciple Uchiha Itachi also has the qualifications to compete for Hokage...

And Uchiha Itachi is currently the only disciple in Konoha Village... This is something Danzo never wants to see!

From the current point of view, it is no longer allowed to set off a storm to eliminate Uchiha inside Konoha, but we cannot allow that evil family to continue to grow...

Now that Uchiha Fugaku is targeting him everywhere, sending people to assassinate him if he has nothing to do, and when his son becomes Hokage's only disciple, won't that guy Fugaku become even more rampant?

But anyway, the Hokage candidate they are going to select now is also sent to the Daming Mansion to die. After Hiruzaru Sarutobi sends the hostages out, he plans to find a way to get rid of him!

If Jiraiya also had an accident in Damingfu, wouldn't it completely cut off the Uchiha clan's attempt to ascend to the position of Hokage?

Thinking of this, Shimura Danzo coughed a few times, and suddenly said: "After all the calculations, Zilai is indeed the most suitable person, and he was originally a candidate for the fourth generation..."

"…Um?"

The Third Hokage gave him a strange look, and suddenly said: "I thought you would say that you are the most suitable person!"

Shimura Danzo: "..."

It seems to be too!

He is a disciple of the second Hokage, and a fellow of the third Hokage at the same time, and he also has some prestige inside Konoha!

If he was designated as a Hokage candidate by Konoha's senior management in the Ninja class meeting, as long as there is no accident, he will be a ninja with a daimyo outside and a ninja inside, wouldn't he be a proper Fifth Hokage!

Why didn't this old fellow Sarutobi Hiruza say it earlier!

He should have suggested himself just now! In order to solve the best candidate for the next generation of Hokage, I almost forgot that this is a great opportunity to reasonably inherit the position of Hokage!

"Ahem, I'm joking..." The Third Hokage glanced at Danzo's face, chuckled a few times in his heart, and said solemnly: "Our generation is already old, and we should give more opportunities to young people..."

Shimura Danzo glanced at him coldly: "Hehe..."
