In Naruto, Building the Strongest Hidden Mist Village

"Old man, don't be so gloomy! Things haven't reached a final conclusion yet."

Jiraiya scratched his long white hair and rocked his chair.

"If your place is stable, I will go to Kirigakure to retrieve Minato. You don't know that Katsuyuki has been going crazy these days."

"Let's go, Jiraiya."

"You don't need to worry about these things of mine."

Jiraiya pursed his lips, not knowing what to say. He was about to turn around, but was stopped by a sharp shout.

"Where's your forehead protector?"

"Jiraiya!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone became more serious than ever.

"It's just easier to do things. I'm still a Konoha ninja and will always be the old man."

Jiraiya said, reaching into his arms, taking out a clean forehead protector and wrapping it around his forehead.

"Don't worry about that."

"That's good."

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe and murmured a few words. Before he could finish his words, bursts of noise came from outside the window.

This made the two of them frown immediately.

How could there be such a sound outside the Hokage Building.

He's an old friend.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

He was familiar with Danzo.

This movement is inseparable from the companion who has always wanted to become Hokage.

"let's start."

Danzo glanced slightly at his old friend standing in front of the glass, and while a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he gradually became solemn.

This is the most critical step before becoming Hokage.

Hiruzen, you lose this time.

Don’t you always think that I am not recognized by the public?

After today, no more.

One month.

It only took me a month to get all the things to increase my prestige.

It turns out that everything becomes easier when you are bathed in the sun!

The root ninja standing beside Danzo unfolded the scroll.

Bang bang bang!

A continuous cloud of white smoke.

Several of the ninja swords were revealed.

Danzo raised his head, facing the sun, and raised the blade.

"Everyone, this is proof that I killed several of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen on the Kirigakure battlefield."

"Facing Kirigakure, our Konoha is not completely defeated. I also completely left several powerful ninjas on this battlefield!"

"As expected of Danzo-sama!"

The root ninja was the first to shout.

But the civilians who were so unfamiliar with this person standing on the high platform that they didn't know what to shout gradually began to shout.

Even if this Danzo-sama is not a good person at first glance!

Even though this Danzo-sama has never been remembered by anyone.

Even if they were just a few ninja swords, not Kaguya Naoki.

However, Konoha did suffer a complete defeat on the Kirigakure battlefield.

That's not all.

The Third Hokage also signed a treaty that was unacceptable to Konoha but had to be accepted in the place where the First Hokage had established his reputation.

If that's the case, why couldn't they choose a ninja who had won against Kirigakure before!

Tuan, what's going on?

Danzo-sama!

Listening to the shouts below, Danzo felt a strange emotion in his heart.

Is this what it feels like to be surrounded by people?

This is what Naruto feels like.

How wonderful!

"Danzo-sama, do you want to continue the plan?"

Danzo frowned, but still snorted.

"Go ahead."

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

The root ninja hides in the shadows.

Danzo waved his palms, and while enjoying the feeling, there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Don't blame me, Hiruzen.

Why do you, a defeated shadow like you, always want to stay in that position!

It was you who betrayed me first.

It was you who first forgot your original intention of protecting Konoha because of your greed for power.

Then, let you be my stepping stone to complete everything you promised to the teacher in the past!

"Hand over the war criminal Minato Namikaze!"

Just when the crowd's cheers gradually subsided, a few voices came from unknown places, which immediately made the crowd roar again.

"It was him who sent away the entire army of Konoha and made us completely defeated by Kirigakure!"

"Hand over Namikaze Minato!"

The sound exploded again!

Even more enthusiastic than before.

It is always difficult for humans to accept a point of view that is different from what they know, but criticizing a guy who was once superior is what everyone is willing to do!

A smile formed on Danzo's lips.

These civilians are so easily deceived.

Let Minato Namikaze become the next White Fang of Konoha!

Namikaze Minato, the leader of the defeated army, will suffer the wrath of these civilians.

So my friend, the Hokage who made all the plans, do you still have the dignity to stay on that stage again?

Put away that coldness and try to show yourself a sunny smile.

This smile that has been rehearsed thousands of times in front of the mirror will naturally have no flaws.

"Everyone!"

Danzo once again clenched his fists and raised his hands.

"I signed a peace treaty with Iwagakure not long ago!"

"They are equal, there is no unfair peace treaty!"

"Soon, I will personally work hard to completely suppress Kumogakure's storm. Bring peace to our Konoha."

"Let Danzo-sama become the Fourth Hokage!"

The root ninja just shouted. Although the Konoha civilians were hesitant, they still raised their fists after hearing more and more loud voices.

It's right to follow you, right?

I am the Yondaime!

Danzo's heart surged with passion, and he was about to raise his fist and say something else.

"Everyone."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know when he walked outside the Hokage Building, with a gentle breeze blowing and a kind smile on his face.

Just an opening.

This situation, which was like a boiling pot of hot oil before, was immediately poured with a basin of cold water.

The shouts disappeared, leaving only a few men, those were the root ninjas.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care either and kept his gentle voice.

"Everyone, this doesn't solve the problem, does it? I will give you an answer."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said softly, and shameful expressions immediately appeared on the faces of these Konoha civilians.

In any case, the momentum Danzo wanted to mobilize today has been weakened by more than half.

Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Danzo gritted his teeth.

No matter when, you will always come out to ruin my good deeds.

And your seemingly bright and majestic face.

It was me who blocked it for you.

"Hiruzen!"

"You will regret this."

"Danzo."

"Now, I am the Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were very calm, and he could not see his old appearance at all.

The one who looked at him calmly was a pair of eyes that seemed to be spitting out fire!

It belonged to Danzo. After looking at each other for a long time, he sneered.

"Not anymore, Hiruzen, soon."

"Do you think this is just for today?"

After that, he turned around and left immediately.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at that figure with a look of helplessness on his face.

Old friend, don't be swallowed up by the flames of power.

You have to remember, first for Konoha, then for power.

This is why I don't want to hand over this seat to you.

You are different from Minato.

You are just for your own power and your own interests.

Always has been and will always be!

Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed across the sky where the sun was still shining just now, and huge raindrops fell.
