Konoha 44th year
"Ah! Uncle Snake, you're back!"
Shizune, who had just returned home, heard the noise and hurried out to check. When he saw Orochimaru, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he ran over excitedly.
After graduating from the Ninja School, Shizune devoted himself to learning medical ninjutsu from Tsunade, and occasionally took on some tasks.
Ninjas need to perform a certain amount of tasks every year, otherwise they will not be able to meet the task indicators during the Chunin Exam.
But for Genin, the tasks they perform are not difficult, not to mention that they must have the corresponding strength to take on difficult tasks.
It doesn't mean that you can take on any task when you are hot-headed, and the task manager will not let the ninja die in vain.
After this period of training, Shizune's immature face has become much more resolute, and the kind of soft and weak girlish aura on her body has also decreased a lot.
With a violent teacher, the disciple can't be so cowardly!
"Well! Long time no see, Shizune."
Orochimaru habitually rubbed her little head with his large palm.
"Oh, Uncle Snake has grown up!"
Shizune pushed away Orochimaru's arm with a look of disdain, but how could she escape from Orochimaru's clutches?
He's grown up, will you stop calling him Uncle Snake and start calling him Orochimaru in a few years? It seems to be true!
"Where's Tsunade?"
Ruffling Shizune's hair, this may be one of his few bad tastes.
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Shizune pouted in dissatisfaction:
"Hey... She's lying on the table!"
Sure enough, Tsunade was unconscious just after lunch at noon, and Orochimaru was no longer around, and she really returned to a state of drunkenness and dreaming.
"Forget it, you handle it yourself! I'll go report my work."
Before Shizune continued to ask more questions, Orochimaru disappeared.
He came back just to store the scroll. After not seeing him for so long, he still had to report to the third generation, and he also had to go to Danzo to see him.
Let's see how the research progress of the old thief Danzo is going, and there are two pairs of eyes of his own.
"Hiruzen, when are you going to step down?"
The third Hokage was sitting at his desk smoking a dry pipe, and opposite him was a middle-aged man with one eye and one arm, who was the old thief Danzo.
"This matter still needs the villagers to elect the best candidate for the next Hokage before it can be determined."
The third generation looked at Danzo's fiery expression and snorted in his heart.
In his opinion, no matter who sits in this position, it is impossible for Danzo to sit. He still knows the right and wrong of this.
The two grew up together and had the same teacher. They relied on each other and competed with each other for so many years, and they knew each other very well.
The two cooperated with each other and opposed each other. The third generation was responsible for the overall management on the surface, while Danzo was responsible for coming forward to solve some things that were difficult to solve on the surface.
All the dirty and tiring work was done by Danzo. The two were one yin and one yang, and there was even a rumor that there was Hiruzen outside and Danzo inside.
After so many years of development, the root forces formed by Danzo have become extraordinary, and as a high-level Konoha, the authority is very heavy.
However, this old shady guy does not know how to publicize his own personality. He has paid so much for Konoha, and most of the things he has done are not visible.
Therefore, he has a very bad reputation among the masses. In addition, the militarized root organization, what he has done is not known to outsiders at all.
When he heard that the third generation wanted to run for Hokage according to the formal procedures, Danzo's eyes were also full of haze.
This method has no chance of winning for him. It is obvious that he is telling him that the position of Hokage is not impossible to give you, but you need to fight for it yourself. Don't say that I don't give you a chance, it's you who are useless.
The third generation Hokage was appointed in the first Ninja World War and did not follow these procedures, but now it is a peaceful time.
If he wants to win the position of Hokage, he must either run for it or deal with the Konoha high-level officials who oppose him.
But the latter is obviously impossible. Not to mention that the Third Generation will not agree, Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En will not stand on his side for no reason. This is not in their interests.
"Humph! I have devoted so many years to Konoha, and my qualifications and merits are enough to take this position!"
Danzo still did not give up. In his opinion, the Hokage will take over this year.
He has been doing all the dirty work for so many years. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard! If he is not qualified, who else is qualified?
As long as the Third Generation nods, even if the other two elders have opinions, it will be useless. By then, the Anbu and the Root will be in his hands, and he will control the most important military power. Two old guys without real power can't make any big waves!
I have been the Hokage for more than 20 years. What's wrong with letting me do it for a few years? As long as you nod,Boss, I will be the next Hokage, Shimura Danzo!
My own failure is terrible, but my brother's success is even more worrying!
"Danzo! This position is not something you can do just because you want to. Even if I agree, the villagers will not agree. Even if the villagers agree, the major families will not agree!"
Seeing that Danzo was still dreaming of abdication, the Third Hokage was also annoyed. What era do you think it is now? The two Ninja World Wars are over!
Look at who you are again? If you are honest and conscientious for the development of Konoha, it's fine, but you don't take a mirror to look at yourself. What kind of work are you doing? You exude a bloody smell on your body. You are destined to be in disgrace in this life!
Besides, you have been developing the Root Organization that serves you behind my back for these years. Do you think I am blind? Besides, you are not my disciple. There are many excellent ninjas in the village over the years. Why should you let an old guy who can't stand up to the stage be the Hokage?
Hearing the words of the Third Generation, Danzo's face turned pale and then blue, and finally he roared with red ears:
"Just tell me! Hiruzen, do you support me to be the boss?"
In his opinion, the will of the villagers and the opinions of the major families are shit. If they dare not obey, they will be suppressed. Under the iron-blooded means, they are not afraid that they will not recognize their status.
"You have so many people supporting you, it's enough without me!"
You think I'm your godfather when you say this? After a pause, the Third Generation continued:
"Danzo, I'm going to retire after so many years. Konoha needs new blood and energetic young Hokage to lead Konoha. There is no ship to carry us in the new era!"
The Third Generation looked at Danzo seriously, and his tone became less aggressive. These were his heartfelt words.
But these words had a different meaning when they fell into Danzo's ears.
"You, Sarutobi Hiruzen, have been the Hokage for more than 20 years. You have had enough, you are tired, and you want to retire.
What about me? I have been working day and night for more than 20 years. Now I finally waited for you to retire, but you come to me and tell me to stop, Azo, there are young and excellent ninjas out there.
If I can't kill you, I really want to slap you a few times!"
You can imagine how devastated Danzo was at this time. A hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes.
