Master, Please Become a Hokage

"However, considering your contributions to Konoha, I think... the higher-ups might consider sparing your life..."

Sarutobi Ryo didn't say he would directly kill Danzo.

Because he had a lot of information in his head.

It's the same to get the information first and then kill him.

Moreover, Sarutobi Ryo mentioned the higher-ups, which means that he is not the only one who knows.

Danzo's matter has already been known to others.

When Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane learn about the matter, they will probably be busy trying to clear their names from Danzo.

Of course, as the two high-level figures who are close to Danzo every day, their investigation... is also indispensable.

As for whether Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado expected this, that's another matter.

Chapter 148. End

Hearing that he still had a chance to breathe, Danzo's idea of fighting to the death disappeared for the most part.

Of course, he was suspicious and afraid that Sarutobi Ryo would directly kill him.

But he waited for a while, but Sarutobi Ryo didn't make a move...

So, he couldn't help but believe most of it.

Because with the strength shown by this kid, he can indeed kill himself at any time.

So...

In such a stalemate.

Danzo waited for dense footsteps.

Soon.

The two Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Sakumo Hatake, appeared on the scene with Anbu.

Tsunade and Jiraiya were also on the side.

Minato Namikaze also appeared on the scene with a figure.

Tobirama Senju, temporarily wearing a cloak, disguised himself as an Anbu and mingled in the crowd.

The last to arrive were Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

Seeing Danzo defeated and Sarutobi Ryo standing proudly, plus the traces of the underground fight.

Everyone immediately understood the whole story.

Now that everyone has arrived, the matter can be handled properly.

"Sarutobi Ryo, what are you doing?!" Koharu Utatane was the first to speak, anxious and angry, which was very much in line with her persona.

"Elder Koharu..."

Sarutobi Ryo turned around and looked at everyone.

Facing faces with different expressions, Sarutobi Ryo began to tell about the crimes committed by Danzo.

When Sarutobi Ryo mentioned that Danzo was plotting against his own people.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

Because the two of them didn't expect that Danzo would really attack the Uchiha.

It's okay to suppress them with policies... but really killing people is too risky...

That's right.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado also wanted to eliminate the Uchiha.

However, directly taking action will inevitably get a bad reputation and leave a handle.

The best way, of course, is to imitate the Second Hokage.

Cultivate an Uchiha and use Uchiha to deal with Uchiha.

The best candidate is Obito Uchiha.

But...

Danzo was too impatient and actually caused such a thing.

Now he can't escape his crime.

"Danzo..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his old friend with heartache, who had actually fallen to this point.

Of course, he knew that Danzo was carrying the darkness of the Second Hokage.

But no matter how dark it is, he shouldn't attack his companions in the village.

Of course, if Hiruzen Sarutobi was still in power, he would definitely be soft-hearted and forgive Danzo like he let Orochimaru go in the original work.

But now the times have changed.

The Hokage in office is Sakumo Hatake.

So some things are not up to Hiruzen Sarutobi to decide.

Sarutobi Ryo finished telling the whole story.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado knew that Danzo was finished.

Plotting against companions is a serious crime.

Even considering that Danzo has served the village for many years and made great contributions, he can only be exempted from the death penalty at most.

The punishment of life imprisonment cannot be escaped.

What they thought was exactly what Sarutobi Ryo wanted to announce.

On the surface... first arrest Danzo.

After a meaningless trial, Danzo was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Then, privately, pry open Danzo's head to obtain information.

Finally... kill Danzo once and for all.

Sarutobi Ryo, who had already made a plan, waved his hand and issued an arrest order.

Anbu personnel stepped forward to arrest Danzo.

The dozens of Root ninjas around were at a loss, not knowing where to go.

As small pawns, the higher-ups will naturally not make things difficult for them.

After all, they were just following Danzo's orders, and essentially they were still serving Konoha.

The point is, after Danzo loses power, who will take over the responsibility of Root... 亽....

"Young Master Ryo actually defeated even Lord Danzo..."

Minato Namikaze was calm on the surface, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.

Because the extent of Sarutobi Ryo's strength improvement was too exaggerated.

He was unscathed, and Danzo was completely defeated. This is really...

"Who is the leader among you?"

Sarutobi Ryo looked at the dozens of Root ninjas.

The ninjas in Root are also divided into different levels, and their strengths are different.

Depending on the level of strength, there is naturally a difference in position.

Everyone looked at each other slowly... Soon, a chestnut-haired teenager was recommended.

He looked a little smaller than Kakashi, and because he was in the development period, he was not very tall.

Among a group of tall Root ninjas, he looked very special...

Tenzō, huh...

Sarutobi Ryo looked at the other party's appearance and nodded.

"Very good, from today onwards, you will temporarily lead the people of Root and wait for the new superior..."

Sarutobi Ryo arranged a position for Tenzō.

Tenzō, wearing a mask, nodded, and then stared at everyone gradually leaving...

Walking all the way.

The crowd was mighty.

Everyone was thinking about different things.

Danzo will be escorted back and dealt with by the higher-ups personally.

So the next step is the trial of Danzo.

As for Root, Sarutobi Ryo did not ask to search here.

After all, as long as Danzo confesses, all the information can be obtained... That's what everyone thought.

Minato Namikaze and Tobirama Senju looked at each other.

Originally, the two were worried that Sarutobi Ryo would directly order a search to find some clues...

Now it seems.

He didn't care at all about the idea that Root's lair still hides some secrets.

"Tsunade, Sarutobi Ryo is amazing..."

Jiraiya and Tsunade whispered.

He originally thought that his disciple Minato and Sarutobi Ryo could be evenly matched.

Now, it's not the same thing at all.

Defeating and capturing Danzo without injury, this kind of thing... even he probably can't do it.

Could it be that Sarutobi Ryo's strength has surpassed the Sannin?

Is that so?

"Heh heh... Seeing is believing... The fact is so."

Orochimaru, who had witnessed everything with his own eyes, nodded and affirmed Jiraiya's idea.

In this way, if he competes for the position of Fifth Hokage, Sarutobi Ryo probably has a much higher probability.

But it doesn't matter.

Even if he can't compete with Sarutobi Ryo, once he obtains the method of immortality.

In a few decades, when Sarutobi Ryo gets old...

Orochimaru is very good at comforting himself.

That's what he originally planned.

It's not like Konoha will always have talented people emerging.

There will always be a time when he, Orochimaru, will become Hokage.

"Tsk tsk..."

Jiraiya kept clicking his tongue in wonder.

Tsunade, on the other hand, was full of depression.

Not long ago, she was shocked by Sarutobi Ryo...
