Master, Please Become a Hokage

It's impossible to read all memories.

However, many important junctures leave deep impressions in a person's brain.

What Yamanaka Hui needs to do is like extracting an outline from an article, taking out those key points one by one.

The dignified Root leader, Shimura Danzo.

After experiencing such brutal mind reading, his eyes are dull, and his brain is clearly damaged.

After learning the news of Tobirama Senju's resurrection, Sarutobi Ryo no longer cared about Danzo's affairs.

Because Tobirama Senju's resurrection meant that Danzo had ultimately become a pawn pushed to the forefront.

"Ah Hui, thank you for your hard work..."

However, merits and demerits cannot cancel each other out.

Danzo's harming of his own people had already touched Sarutobi Ryo's bottom line.

Therefore...

"Arrange a decent death for him..."

Sarutobi Ryo decided to personally send Danzo off.

Sarutobi Ryo, who had been influenced by political persecution in his previous life, knew far more methods than the people in this world.

Sarutobi Ryo was very clear about how to decently send Danzo away.

He let Yamanaka Hui and Uchiha Shisui leave first.

Sarutobi Ryo then looked at the Root leader, whose eyes were slightly dull...

His sinful life would come to a dramatic end here.

And perhaps even Danzo himself would not have imagined that Sarutobi Ryo's methods were so sharp and completely disregarded his status.

After all, Sarutobi Ryo did not have the indecisiveness of his old father, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Sarutobi Ryo never equivocated about what needed to be done.

"Danzo, it's time to go..."

Sarutobi Ryo said indifferently, his eyes cold...

......

The next morning, before dawn.

A message came from the prison from an Anbu member.

Danzo... committed suicide out of fear of his crimes.

Danzo, who died in prison, died in the prison, blatantly using cloth made from his own clothes to hang himself.

The slightly rotating corpse indicated his true death.

By the time the Anbu members discovered it, Danzo had been dead for a long time.

And this explanation naturally could not satisfy everyone.

Especially Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

The two were shocked and immediately realized that this was political persecution.

They, who were usually best at persecuting others, were now being plotted against by their juniors.

And when the sun rose.

The newly appointed Orochimaru appeared in the conference room.

Today... was the day he was officially appointed.

Orochimaru, who had changed into a new suit, had hair comparable to silk.

The corner of his mouth hooked up, representing his high spirits.

Regarding Danzo's death, he couldn't help but take another look at Sarutobi Ryo.

The latter looked calm and composed, seemingly completely indifferent to it.

Danzo, as an elder of Konoha, secretly harmed his own people, the incident came to light, thought about it all night, and felt unbearably ashamed... so he committed suicide, very normal, right?

Right, everyone.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, sitting in the conference room, trembled slightly.

There was anger, and also... a little fear.

No matter how they discussed with Tobirama Senju in the second half of the night.

They couldn't stop or even anticipate Sarutobi Ryo's ruthlessness and swiftness.

He beat up Danzo in the first half of the night and then killed him directly in the second half...

This kind of ruthlessness was really rare.

"Is that so..."

Kakashi Sakumo and Hiruzen Sarutobi whispered, discussing Danzo's death.

The two Hokage wondered if they should go and see for themselves.

In the end, they decided to solve the problem of Orochimaru's appointment first.

Wait until the morning... then go over.

After all, Danzo was indeed dead.

Although the news was shocking, the affairs of the living were obviously more important.

Minato Namikaze, who arrived at the scene, had a very solemn expression as soon as he stepped in.

Because he really didn't expect Sarutobi Ryo to act so quickly.

That was... Root Leader Danzo-sama.

He killed him as soon as he said he would.

The last person who was so swift and decisive was Sasuke Uchiha in the first timeline.

However.

Sasuke Uchiha and Danzo had a deep blood feud.

Young Master Sarutobi Ryo... only had political disagreements with Danzo.

Danzo's death sounded an alarm bell for Minato Namikaze.

In such a strange atmosphere...

Sarutobi Ryo waited for everyone to gather.

"Since everyone is here, then let's start the appointment meeting..."

Sarutobi Ryo looked at everyone.

Tenzō was also on the scene.

He would become Orochimaru's right-hand man, assisting Orochimaru in completing the work of Root.

And with Orochimaru's personality, he would definitely do his best.

After all... he had no reason to betray Konoha.

Controlling Root only had endless benefits for him.

In fact, Sarutobi Ryo really needed someone to do certain things.

Chapter 154. Aftermath

The new generation does not need to follow everything of the previous generation.

Danzo will inevitably become dust in history.

Although history always moves forward, the current history has already begun to be created by the younger generation.

The handover of Root's work is not a big secret.

But it is not known to everyone.

Only the upper echelons... the Jōnin know that Konoha has a department called Root.

Chūnin, Genin... and even some Special Jōnin do not know the specific position that Danzo controls.

Therefore, this meeting is a meeting of a small number of people.

Only those with status and influence participated.

Minato Namikaze frequently looked at Sarutobi Ryo at the meeting.

The latter did not have any emotional fluctuations regarding Danzo's death.

That indifferent appearance made Minato Namikaze feel a chill in his heart.

He began to wonder if what he had done was right.

Was it the right operation to recall Tobirama Senju to the world?

However, things had already happened after all.

Even he was powerless to change anything.

He could only take it one step at a time, or rather... go all the way to the dark.

Minato Namikaze tried his best not to show any other expressions in the conference room.

But he knew very well that Young Master Sarutobi Ryo already knew what he had done.

Would the two become enemies?

Or... was there room for maneuver?

"Congratulations, congratulations..."

When the appointment came to an end, everyone congratulated Orochimaru.

From today onwards, he would be one of the Konoha elders.

"Hehe..."

Orochimaru accepted everyone's compliments, and then... looked at Sarutobi Ryo.

The newly appointed elder meant the formation of a new faction.

Orochimaru had personally witnessed Sarutobi Ryo's rise and also knew about Danzo's death, so he would naturally not go against Sarutobi Ryo.

He understood that the young man in front of him would stir up the situation and become the true controller of Konoha.

Kakashi Sakumo was a salted fish Hokage who was pushed up.

Most of the affairs were usually handled by Sarutobi Ryo and Nara Shikaku.

That is to say, Kakashi Sakumo's appointment was more or less a forced factor.

At that time, it was also the best solution.

After all, the Konoha elders were persecuting him, and Kakashi Sakumo had to become the Hokage.

Since this was the case, the most suitable person to become the Hokage also meant that he would appear in the next Hokage election.

Sarutobi Ryo... seemed determined to win the position of Hokage.

Orochimaru pondered Sarutobi Ryo's actions to eliminate dissidents.

But no matter what, he was walking on the correct path of the Will of Fire.
