In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 117 My Fourth Hokage! What right do you have to treat me like this?

"The day has finally come."

Danzo composed himself, his spirits lifted from the deliberate humiliation he had suffered at the hands of Kaguya Naoki. He looked up at the Konoha plaque and then raised his head again.

The Fourth Hokage, I've arrived.

Lift your foot and move forward.

As the figure of an old man wrapped in bandages appeared on the horizon, enthusiastic shouts rang out.

Among them, there were actors who were bribed with large sums of money by Root ninjas.

But there were also some who were genuinely grateful to Lord Danzo for bringing peace to Konoha.

Of course, there were many more people who were unaware of the situation, simply following the crowd, and began to encourage the unknown Danzo-sama.

They weren't very clear about who Danzo was.

However, as a defeated man, the Third Hokage should indeed no longer be in that position.

Danzo waved his hand, his face full of smiles.

But this familiar scene, corresponding to the distant, shrouded mist, still reminded him of Kaguya Naoki.

That wretched brat.

Even though you're an idiot.

But today, I still want to thank you for your wisdom.

You've learned to incite public opinion and create a stage at such a young age.

It's just a pity.

We are not at war now, otherwise I could lead an army and recreate you.

The word "human heart".

How could an old man be inferior to a young man?

but.

I will go a step further than you.

The true feelings of the people should not be shown to other ninjas.

It also needs to be shown to the official name.

Danzo smiled confidently, just then the sound of a rolling carriage came from behind him.

He suppressed his smile, stepped aside, and bowed respectfully.

"Lord Daimyo."

"Well."

The daimyo lifted the carriage curtain, looked at Danzo in front of him, and deliberately showed an expression of appreciation.

"Danzo, come up."

"You invited me here, how could I let you catch a cold outside in the car?"

Danzo chuckled, bent down, and peered into the carriage. He lowered the curtain, and the familiar light in the dimly lit carriage eased his tension.

"Danzo, he truly has the support of the people."

The daimyo waved his feather fan and sighed with emotion.

"I don't have a daimyo; it's just that I've consistently won against Kirigakure."

"Hidden Mist, huh?"

The daimyo put down his feather fan, and the image of the arrogant daimyo of the Land of Water in the past came to mind.

Looking at Danzo, I couldn't help but feel a little interested.

"Danzo, if you also want to become Hokage, then tell me what you can bring to Konoha."

Danzo straightened his back, looking very confident and powerful.

"I will make Konoha great again!"

“My lord, you must know that Hiruzen is too weak, while I am much stronger.”

"At this time, for Konoha, being tough is more important."

Furthermore…

Daming listened and nodded repeatedly, his resolve unwavering no matter how eloquently Daming spoke.

As the daimyo of the Land of Fire, he naturally knew Danzo.

He was a guy who did dirty work for Konoha in the shadows, and he was tough on both enemies and comrades, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Of course, he is also absolutely loyal to Konoha.

Frankly speaking, in his opinion, such a person is not suitable to become Hokage.

Moreover, such a turbulent time might not be the right time to change the Hokage.

"Lord Daimyo, Lord Danzo, they have arrived."

A voice came from outside the door, which made Danzo stop talking.

The daimyo still had a smile on his face, but it was hidden by the feather fan and the dim light, so Danzo could only vaguely see some traces of it.

He remained very confident. A daimyo will not trust a defeated man.

What's more, I am Danzo, who has been hardworking and incredibly tough since the time of the Second Hokage!

How could that be? It wouldn't have the support of the daimyo.

Danzo and the Daimyo entered the Hokage Building one after the other, crossed the corridor, and entered the Hokage's office.

"Lord Daimyo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi put on his straw hat and immediately greeted him.

After exchanging pleasantries, it was actually Hiruzen Sarutobi who took the initiative to bring it up.

"Lord Daimyo, thank you for coming here. There are currently two candidates for Hokage in Konoha, namely Danzo Kagesuke and myself. We are about to discuss and make a decision."

Before Daimyo could even utter a sound, Danzo had already preemptively responded.

"I think there's no need to discuss it anymore."

His expression turned serious, and his voice became very low.

"Hiruzen, as a defeated Hokage, the villagers have long been unwilling to let you remain in the position of Hokage."

"You saw it too, what kind of attitude those people outside the Hokage Building have towards you."

Hearing Danzo's question, the daimyo waved his feather fan, while Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression remained calm.

"It still needs to be discussed."

"While considering the will of the people, we must also think about their choices. Lord Daimyo, why don't we gather all the Jonin here and discuss the matter to reach a conclusion?"

"so be it."

The daimyo put down his fan, having no intention of continuing.

"Danzo, we should be more careful in selecting the Hokage."

"Yes, Lord Daimyo."

Danzo couldn't help but smile.

You actually took the initiative to comfort me, Da Ming.

It seems you're definitely on my side.

As for those Jonin...

snort!
Danzo couldn't help but sneer.

Is this your last resort, Hiruzen?

This was exactly what I expected.

How could the Jonin dare to disobey my orders and choose you?
-
"Lord Daimyo, what is your opinion on who should serve as Hokage?"

Where all the Jonin's eyes were focused, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo stood on either side of the Daimyo, while outside them were the two elders, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

The five of them faced a Konoha Jonin who had fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Therefore, faced with this overwhelming sense of oppression, the daimyo raised his feather fan to cover the saliva he was secretly swallowing.

"Of course not."

"Although Konoha suffered a defeat this time, it is not a reason for me to interfere in Konoha's affairs."

The daimyo chuckled softly, but Danzo's eyes gradually turned cold.

Of course, he invited Da Ming to compete for him.

He even promised many benefits.

Why are you making fun of this old man!

He certainly wouldn't challenge the daimyo's authority, but he was truly determined to kill him.

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke again.

"Everyone, those who agree that I should continue to serve as Hokage, please raise your hands."

Danzo composed himself and refocused his attention on what was in front of him.

Vote for me!
Wow!
Every ninja present, except for the Root Jonin, raised their hands without exception.

Shock, disbelief, resentment, anger, murderous intent!
You're all making a fool of me!

Danzo gritted his teeth, gripped his cane tightly, and was about to get up to retort.

Seeing this scene, Daiming felt cold sweat pouring down his hands and his heart growing even colder.

Are they all supporting Hiruzen?
Like the Hidden Mist?

If that's the case, wouldn't we have to endure unprecedented pressure from Konoha?
When did Konoha become like this?

Konoha, which has not uttered a single objection, is more terrifying than any external enemy.

Suddenly, Daiming raised his hand.

"I still have some opinions to express."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's calm and expressionless face suddenly changed, and a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Danzo, however, stopped and turned to look at the daimyo, a sense of anticipation in his heart.

As a daimyo, he is responsible for the crucial task of managing military funds. It's impossible for Hiruzen to ignore his opinion, right?
