Hokage’s Final Candidate

Sarutobi Hiruzen refused quite simply and decisively. He seemed to have no intention of discussing with Shimura Danzo. On the contrary, Shimura Danzo did not react.

But then, Shimura Danzo’s face darkened, and his face that already looked sad now looked even more gloomy.

“Why?” he asked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up from behind the table, came to stand in front of the window, and took a puff from his pipe, which was filled with smoke.

“You also know how important this kid Yagawa Satoshi is to the village. His value is definitely not reflected in how many shady things he has to deal with for the village. If it weren’t for the fact that he is still too young, then the next Hokage The position definitely belongs to him.”

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and stared at Shimura Danzo with a solemn expression.

“This is a junior who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the Hokage. Danzo, don’t set your sights on him. This is my advice to you.”

Hearing this, Shimura Danzo’s face became even more gloomy, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words made him feel like he had been slapped in the face, which was very uncomfortable.

After a moment of silence, Danzo Shimura took a deep breath, and then spoke again, but this time he had a different target.

“Then… I want Uchiha Shisui.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned tightly, and did not respond immediately. Instead, he took another puff of his pipe, exhaled a long puff of smoke, and then slightly Shake his head.

Seeing this, Shimura Danzo’s expression changed again, and he couldn’t help but said: “That brat Uchiha Shisui, aren’t you willing to give it to me?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, and then said: “Danzo, Uchiha people , it is impossible to join the Anbu, you should know this well, why would you make such an unreasonable request?”

Danzo Shimura snorted, he naturally knew this, it was rooted in Konoha, and It is not an existence that can see the light. On the contrary, most of the village does not know that there are roots in the village, but this does not include the Uchiha clan.

And based on the character of the Uchiha clan and their emphasis on the Sharingan, they have basically eliminated the possibility of their clan members entering the root.

But Shimura Danzo naturally had his purpose when he said this. Seeing that his two requests were rejected, he finally expressed his true thoughts.

“Then, I want Hatake Kakashi.”

Hearing this name, even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn’t help but shake his head.

“What are you thinking about, Danzo? Hatake Kakashi is a disciple of Namikaze Minato, and Namikaze Minato is going to become…”

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, and his expression suddenly became solemn. , then raised his head and stared at each other closely.

“The purpose of your coming here today is this, right?”

Danzo Shimura’s heart skipped a beat. He ignored Hiruzen Sarutobi’s words and asked instead, “Sure enough, you want Namikaze Minato to be the next one.” Hokage, why not Orochimaru?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s thoughts were exposed, and he simply stopped hiding it. Instead, he shook his head and said: “Orochimaru is very good, but he is not suitable to be the next Hokage. I think you should be able to understand. That’s right.”

Danzo Shimura shook his head: “I don’t understand. No matter from which aspect, Orochimaru meets the requirements to become Hokage. Fame? Orochimaru has long been famous in the ninja world. Merit? Experienced the second time to be a ninja. He won the title of Sannin in the World War, and this time he led the Western Front troops to block the attack of Sunagakure and Kumogakure. If you talk about ability, as Orochimaru’s teacher, do you think that his ability cannot bear the title of Hokage? ”

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed after hearing this, feeling a little blocked for no reason. Apparently his thoughts were not understood.

“I said that Orochimaru is not suitable to be Hokage. His character has flaws. As Hokage, any flaws will be magnified. A little flaw may affect the entire village. You must remember this.”

“So, Minato Namikaze becomes the next Hokage and it cannot be changed?” Shimura Danzo asked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent and did not give a positive reply.

Seeing this, Shimura Danzo closed his eyes slightly, and then opened his eyes: “After you meet…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted him directly and shook his head slowly.

“No, I won’t regret it. On the contrary, you are a little confused about the situation, Danzo! Also, don’t forget, I am the Hokage! I have the right to choose my successor!” The two have been

friends for many years, He had heard similar words countless times, but for some reason, today’s words felt particularly harsh to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“Hmph!”

Danzo Shimura snorted, without saying anything else, he turned around and walked out of the Hokage’s office.

Looking at Danzo Shimura’s leaving figure, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head slightly, feeling quite helpless.

“When did you change? Danzo?”

Unfortunately, no one responded to this question.

On the other side, Shimura Danzo returned to his old lair, in the huge space beneath the Konoha Death Forest. It was dark, dark and silent. Like a giant beast hidden underground, it opened its bloody mouth and silently devoured everyone who entered here.

Danzo Shimura returned to his seat and sat down with a gloomy expression. After a moment, he took out a small scroll from his arms and made a slight seal with one hand.

Whisper…

From the shadow in the corner, a small snow-white snake crawled out, came to Shimura Danzo’s feet, raised its head and swallowed the small scroll into its belly.

The next moment, the little white snake turned into white smoke and disappeared with a bang.

Then, Shimura Danzo closed his eyes and fell silent, and the entire underground space fell into silence again.

However, the silence did not last long, and was soon broken by a sound breaking through the air.

Danzo Shimura opened his eyes and saw someone kneeling in front of him.

“What is it?”

The man knelt down on one knee and said without raising his head: “Sir, the person who monitored Yagawa Satoshinosuke was discovered by Hokage-sama’s ANBU.”

Danzo Shimura’s eyelids moved, and then he said coldly : “Let them withdraw.”

“Yes!”

Sa!

The visitor disappeared, apparently to inform the news.

Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth slightly: “Damn it!”

He was very angry because this was obviously a warning from Hiruzen Sarutobi to him not to do such a thing.

But Danzo Shimura knew very well that there must be some kind of secret hidden in Satoshi Yagawa. He felt this feeling when he first saw the child, but now, he cannot grasp Satoshi Yagawa in real time. How could he accept the information about Jie’s whereabouts?

But there is no way, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s warning is also very clear, all Shimura Danzo can do now is to accept this path.

“Hmph, wait, you will regret it, Hiruzen!”

In the Hokage’s office, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just sat down, muttered inexplicably: “I am the Hokage.”

Then he patted his head and felt I may have been under too much pressure recently and have become a bit nervous. I just had an auditory hallucination.

On the other side, at the Yagawa Residence, Satonosuke Yagawa leaned on the window sill and looked into the distance. His eyes seemed to sweep in one direction unintentionally, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

How could he not know that he had been monitored all along, but he had never cared about it, and in the induction just now, those who monitored him had left, which was very interesting.

“Shimura Danzo, haha, I hope you won’t do anything too outrageous. I don’t have time to deal with you recently. But if you do too much, then you… can only become my test subject.”

Yagawa Satoshisuke has always been aware that Danzo Shimura covets him, but he has never shown it in the past.

But now it seems that after he has achieved enough dazzling results on the battlefield, the roots of this tree with rotten leaves are finally a little unable to hold back.
