The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated.

Chapter 238 Hiruzen, calm down!
She just wanted to rely on the Yin Seal and the Hundred Healing Techniques to test the opponent's strength.

Who would have thought that the attacker knew that she suffered from hemophobia?

Jiraiya positioned himself as the ultimate flower protector, so how could he bear to see the precious girl in his heart suffer any injustice?

"Advisor Danzo, Tsunade is just..."

"shut up!

If it weren't for your trouble, Konoha wouldn't have suffered this disaster!

Why don't you think about how to appease those families first?"

Li Xia slammed the table heavily, making everyone's hearts tremble:
"Humph, you are the mentor of the attacker this time. Many people who fought with you against Tendo Pain already know this! Jiraiya, what do you think of those villagers who sacrificed their lives for the village? What do the relatives of those who died think of you?"

Still want to be a flower protector? Still want to help Tsunade get out of trouble?
In this Hokage battle, you two will be eliminated first.

"Everyone, let's postpone the Jonin meeting for a few days! Each family has suffered heavy losses and is immersed in grief. Let's take a break first..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suggested while taking a puff of his pipe.

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu thought it was reasonable and were about to agree, but Li Xia refused decisively:
"No! We must hold a jonin meeting this afternoon!

Hiruzen, you are confused.

Although Shisui and I relied on the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan we obtained not long ago to scare off Nagato once, are you sure he won't come back to kill us again? We must redeploy the village's defenses and not give outsiders the opportunity to easily get to the village gate and use a killing move."

Wait a few days?

After a few days, the day lilies will become cold.

God knows what kind of ideological work you will take advantage of this opportunity to influence the major families!

When it comes to garnering votes, Danzo Shimura has never won.

So, absolutely no delay.

"Also, I have asked the Root to convey the intention of convening a jonin meeting to all the jonin in the village. The jonin of each clan will arrive on time. According to the rules set by the first generation, let's select the fifth generation Hokage today; the candidate for the fifth generation must be finalized today."

Want to postpone the selection of the Fifth Hokage?

Want to continue on your own?
Oh, I welded all the doors and windows shut for you.
"Hiruzen, you want to continue to take charge of the situation, right? Are you so intoxicated by the taste of power?"

This was definitely the question that Danzo wanted to ask the most, and it was finally said by Li Xia.

As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room suddenly fell into deathly silence!

Orochimaru's eyes suddenly sparkled, and he couldn't stop the smile on his lips.

Jiraiya and Tsunade looked up suddenly, full of disbelief. They were not stupid, and they understood the hidden meaning. They had thought of many possibilities, but never thought of the possibility of their teacher's comeback.

Why is it that the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Zi in the Iwagakure is getting more and more at odds with the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki? Isn't it because Ohnoki has always occupied that position?

Several decades had passed since the First Ninja World War, and Ōnoki had been in power for more than thirty years, but he had never moved, and had not given any chance to newcomers in the village other than the third generation.

And Lao Zi, who is in his thirties, undoubtedly wants to get promoted and do something for the village.

As a strong man of the same period as the Three Ninjas of Konoha, in terms of status, strength and reputation, Lao Zi is fully qualified to be the Fourth Tsuchikage.

But Ōnoki didn't give him a chance.

Besides training his own son Huang Tu, he had no intention of training any good talents from the Hidden Rock Village other than his own bloodline! Otherwise, bloodline masters like Bakutun Hunter could definitely make an impact and strive for further advancement!

Since the Iwagakure can form an elite blasting unit, it must have powerful bloodlines!
From this, it is not difficult to see that Ōnoki was determined to leave the position of the Fourth Tsuchikage to his own son or grandchildren.

It’s just that my son Huangtu is a little disappointing.

He has no blood-related talent, is dull and cannot learn Dust Escape.

Although he has the strength to reach the threshold of Kage level, he cannot win overwhelmingly over his peers, for example, he cannot beat Lao Zi! This is naturally not enough to be qualified for the throne of the Fourth Tsuchikage.

Seeing that Huang Tu could no longer be relied upon, he has only now begun to train Deidara, Akagi, and his granddaughter Kurotsuchi, who are only a few years old.

The age gap between them directly shows the old man's obsession with the Tsuchikage throne.

(In the end, Deidara was kidnapped by Uchiha Itachi, but his granddaughter Kurotsuchi succeeded in becoming the Leg Shadow many years later by relying on Lava Release and long legs. The question is, isn't Explosion Release like Explosion Release Hunter stronger than Lava Release? Why didn't Ohnoki focus on training him?

There is no need to say more about Lao Zi's Lava Release and the power of the tailed beasts.

These people's ages and identities are also quite suitable, so why can't they catch Ohnoki's eye?

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu knew more about the intricacies of this matter, so they chose to remain silent.

After Minato's death, his old friend Sarutobi Hiruzen did not immediately replace him with the very suitable Orochimaru, which shows the intention of this old friend.

They said they would observe the situation further, but in fact they were just delaying it.

If Orochimaru makes a mistake, there's nothing to say.

If Orochimaru doesn't make any mistakes, he will mainly use the tactic of procrastination.

Give it a few years and things will turn around.

(In the original timeline, Orochimaru was sentenced to leave Konoha more than a year later, which was also unexpected by the Third Hokage! He wanted to leave Orochimaru alone, but he didn't want to drive away this most valued apprentice!)

If you want to blame someone, just blame Orochimaru's philosophy for the conflict with Hiruzen's will of fire.

Hiruzen's Will of Fire is [Conservative].

Orochimaru's philosophy is [innovation].

The former focuses on stabilizing the interests of all parties and maintaining internal stability and a peaceful transition.

The latter focuses on breaking the rules and redistributing the pie based on battlefield performance and Konoha's needs.

The two are like tit for tat.

As for why Minato was able to rise to power?
That is the trend!
It’s Minato Namikaze who is so dazzling and outstanding!
In terms of reputation, he completely overshadowed Hiruzen, who had no outstanding record. He also had the support and acquiescence of Jiraiya and Tsunade, and more than half of Konoha's jonin expressed admiration. They simply couldn't be suppressed! And Minato had no intention of touching everyone's cake! This is crucial!
It can be seen from the fact that Namikaze Minato has been in power for more than a year, but has not established his own direct Anbu system!
Kushina's delivery still needs to be supervised by Sarutobi Hiruzen's direct Anbu, emmm...are you sure this is okay?
In more than a year, the original body of Danzo could ask the major families for people to replenish the Root with a new batch of people.

Over a year, Tsunade was able to suppress the original Danzo in a corner and make him afraid to show up. Only a few Root members were still loyal to him. This situation lasted until the Six Paths of Pain appeared. Over a year, Kakashi was able to see more than a dozen elite jonin who could open six gates of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu appear in Konoha Village. The Eight Gates of Ninjutsu could be used to mass-produce special forces.

Therefore, don’t ever say that Minato has no channels to form his own ANBU directly under him.

The resources in Minato's hands are incomparable to those of Danzo and Kakashi.

Just look at the kind of teammates he has been on missions with and you will understand his appeal.

therefore.

When Li Xia tore off Sarutobi Hiruzen's fig leaf, the old man directly broke the pipe he was smoking.

I looked up suddenly and heard a very serious voice:
"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

...

Sarutobi Hiruzen was really a little angry.

It feels like this old friend is becoming increasingly difficult to control.

Well, it should have been out of his control.

No, he directly challenged the opponent:

"Hiruzen, you are only the retired third generation, not the fifth generation who is about to take office! You have to be aware of your identity!"

These words made the old man breathe heavily and it was difficult for him to calm down.

She almost developed a second personality like Haruno Sakura, who was good at Chinese culture.

"Hurizen, calm down!"

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu advised.

They don't want to see the two good friends fall out.

But it seems that we have to stand in line again.

"Humph."

...

As expected, the Jonin meeting was held in the afternoon.

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw the Third Hokage and Advisor Danzo sitting separately.

It wasn't until the nominations for the Fifth Hokage began that I realized how unusual this parliament was.

"The Uchiha recommends Danzo-sama to be the fifth Hokage!"

Shisui stood up and was the first to speak.

The third-generation old man's hands trembled.

He glanced at Shisui calmly.

Then, he didn't even wait for his loyal fans to express their opinions.

"The Shimura clan recommends Danzo-sama as the fifth Hokage..."

There's nothing much to say about this.

"The Aburame clan recommends Danzo-sama as the fifth Hokage..."

Aburame Ryoma expressed the meaning of the entire Aburame family.

There’s nothing much to say about this.

"The Hyuga clan recommends Danzo-sama as the fifth Hokage..."

The elders of the Hyuga clan represent the entire Hyuga.

This put pressure on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The Senju clan recommends Danzo-sama as the fifth Hokage..."

An old man from the Senju clan expressed his opinion with a smile.

A month ago, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Shimura clan invited the Senju clan to a gathering at the Hokage Rock, and they were extremely lucky to avoid the disaster of the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, which would have wiped out the clan. The Senju clan was very grateful. In addition, Danzo's performance this time was too impressive, so he might as well do a favor.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen is no longer calm.

How come even Thousand Hands...

Have you forgotten how many members of your clan were killed when Danzo instigated your clan to transplant Hashirama's cells? Are the Senju clan so forgetful?

And what's wrong with you, Tsunade? Why don't you try to persuade your tribe members?

But the voice he heard the next moment broke his defense:
"I, Orochimaru, personally recommend Danzo-sama as the fifth Hokage!"

"Orochimaru!"

The three generations almost instinctively slammed the table and stood up.

This disciple, this disciple...

Why do we have to turn our elbows outward?

"Hiruzen, calm down..."

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu hurriedly reminded them.

Image, image.

But you can't lose everything.
