Chapter 165 Hiruzen Sarutobi: I'm Back as a Member of the Board of Directors of Konoha, Who
Upon hearing this, some people thought it made sense, some didn't care, and some were already plotting their own schemes.
Seeing that many people agreed with his idea, Danzo moved closer to the Hokage's seat.
"Since I was the one who made this suggestion first, I'd like to cast my vote for myself as the new Hokage. What do you all think?"
As he spoke, Danzo looked at the people in the conference room, a strange light flashing in his remaining single eye.
Orochimaru was the first to raise his hand to show his support for Danzo. After all, he had already received benefits from Danzo, so naturally he had to do his bidding.
Right after Orochimaru raised his hand, many others raised their hands in agreement.
Some of them had been bribed by Danzo beforehand, while others simply followed the crowd and, seeing that many people agreed, raised their hands to show their approval.
Danzo was in a great mood as he saw more and more people agreeing with him.
However, Danzo also noticed a problem.
"Speaking of which, has any of you seen Hiruzen?"
Are you looking for me?
Just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi pushed open the conference room door and walked in.
"I'll kill you!"
The moment Danzo saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, his eyes widened in shock.
Hiruzen Sarutobi once again donned the Third Hokage's robes and wore the Hokage hat.
He walked straight to the Hokage's seat and sat down.
"I regret the death of the Fourth Hokage, but the more important thing now is to stabilize the village as soon as possible. I believe that someone must step up and take on the responsibility, so I plan to take over the work of Hokage again. Do you all support me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of people immediately expressed their support.
After all, Minato had only been in office for a little over a year, and his team in Konoha had not yet been formally formed. Most of the Konoha leadership were still the team he had left behind when he was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Now that the former Hokage is planning to return to power, he naturally receives widespread support.
Those who were opportunistic naturally saw that the Third Hokage had a significant advantage and sided with him.
"I'll kill you!"
Danzo Shimura's eyes were bloodshot.
Orochimaru shook his head and sat down in his seat without saying a word.
"What's wrong, Danzo? Do you have any other questions?"
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Danzo could only snort coldly and sit down.
The news of the death of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha and the return of the Third Hokage to power spread rapidly.
However, none of the major ninja villages reacted to this, since the mysterious masked man was not dealt with by Konoha.
Moreover, judging from the various messages coming from Konoha, that guy has the power to control tailed beasts.
But Konoha isn't the only ninja village that possesses tailed beasts.
In the Land of Grass, in the Daimyo Prefecture, four figures sat around a square table.
With white hair and red eyes, Tobirama's brows were furrowed.
"The mysterious masked man infiltrated Konoha while the Fourth Hokage's wife was giving birth, and took the opportunity to release the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha! The Fourth Hokage and his wife died in battle, a large number of the Hokage's direct ANBU were killed, and countless Konoha ninja were killed or wounded."
Upon seeing the news Tetsuya brought back, Tobirama's forehead veins bulged, clearly on the verge of exploding.
"Tetsuya, is all of this true?"
Tetsuya nodded.
"Yes, I saw all of this with my own eyes. Besides, what good would it do me to deceive you?"
"Damn it! This mysterious masked man actually dared to endanger Konoha. He is unforgivable. Tetsuya, give me a chance. I want to get rid of this guy myself."
"Heh, get rid of whom?"
Izuna gave a cold laugh and mocked.
"Back then, even the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage of Konoha couldn't stop the other party when they worked together. You, the Second Hokage, think you can eliminate him? Don't be ridiculous."
"Hmph, that guy only succeeded by borrowing the power of the Nine-Tails. Although I don't know much about the Fourth Hokage, I only saw him once during the Battle of Kikyo Mountain, but judging from the ninja world's evaluation of him, he is definitely not an ordinary person. If it weren't for the Nine-Tails, it would be really hard to say who would win or lose."
"Ah, right, right, what a pity, in the end, it was still your Fourth Hokage who died."
"you!"
Tobirama was furious. If he didn't know he was no match for Izuna, he would have slashed him again to show him that what came out red after being cut open wasn't just a watermelon, but also Uchiha Izuna.
"Alright, calm down, Tobirama. What's done is done. No matter how angry you are now, it won't change anything, will it?"
"Hoo~!"
Upon hearing Tetsuya's reminder, Tobirama took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"You're right, what's done is done, there's no use in getting angry."
"That's more like it. Instead of getting angry, we should focus on how Konoha will adjust its situation and get out of the shadow of the Nine-Tails' attack as soon as possible."
"Squeak~!"
Just as Tetsuya finished speaking, a weasel appeared.
He was a messenger from the Chiba Trading Company.
"Any new information? Where did it come from?"
"Boss, this is a message sent back by the Konoha Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh, Konoha? You've worked hard. Go to the kitchen and get a chicken leg from the chef."
"Thank you, boss!"
The messenger, the weasel, ran excitedly towards the kitchen.
"Tetsuya, is there any new news from Konoha?"
"Yes, that's right. It seems that Konoha is moving quite quickly. They've already made new moves in just one day."
As Tetsuya opened the envelope, the others crowded around to see what was going on.
Relying on the advantage of his Sharingan, Izuna glanced at the key information and immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Tobirama Senju, you've trained a fine disciple! Retiring and then taking over. Is it that your Konoha, a place so large, can't find a decent successor? Or is it that your 'fine disciple'...?"
"Impossible! Monkey can't be that kind of person! He must have just temporarily taken over all the work of the Hokage. After all, the handover of the Hokage is a very troublesome matter. What Konoha needs most right now is someone who can step up and take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible. He did all this to stabilize the situation in Konoha. That's right, it's all for Konoha."
Although Tobirama tried his best to defend Hiruzen Sarutobi, it was clear from his expression that he was not particularly satisfied with Hiruzen's actions.
Yes, Konoha does need someone to step up and lead everyone out of the shadows at this time, but Hiruzen Sarutobi's return to power has a different meaning in the eyes of outsiders.
The young and strong men of Konoha died in battle, while the elderly remained in the rear, enjoying the fruits of the labor sacrificed by the young and strong.
Hmm, this just doesn't feel right.
