Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Chapter 320 I am the Hokage!
Just when Tamura Hao was discussing and communicating with Luo Sha and others in the Sand Village, a big war had already started in the Iwagakure Village, or it should be said that the war had started long ago, and the Iwagakure Village was devastated.

Even by the time the Third Raikage arrived, Yellow Earth had already been badly damaged and corroded by dark chakra.

Seeing the power of Danzo Shimura and the tens of thousands of dark troops, the Third Raikage decisively used the summoning technique to transmit the information back to the village. Then the Thunder God's clone came down with a red gourd on his back and released the sealed ninja army from the red gourd.

The arriving Kumogakure ninjas immediately joined the battle, assisting the Iwagakure ninjas in fighting against the dark ninja legions.

Uzumaki Kushina and others cooperated with the Third Raikage and Ōnoki to besiege Shimura Danzo, and they cooperated very well.

Although Danzo Shimura was very powerful, he had just swallowed half of the Five-Tails, which caused the Black Lotus of Destruction to be a little overloaded. He had to mobilize a large amount of dark chakra to suppress it, which greatly reduced the dark chakra that Danzo Shimura could burst out.

Seeing that he could no longer gain the upper hand, Danzo Shimura could only lead the Dark Army to retreat.

The Kumogakure Ninja Army and the severely damaged Iwagakure Ninja Army were also unable to pursue and could only watch those people retreat.

"loess!"

Ōnoki ignored the retreating Danzo Shimura and flew towards his son immediately, but unfortunately he only saw a corpse.

"loess!"

Looking at his son's face that had been blackened by the dark chakra, Ohnoki couldn't help but burst into tears.

I only have this one son, and now I have to bury him before him.

The Third Raikage and others came over and watched silently from the side, feeling somewhat sad, after all, they had fought side by side for so long.

Many Cloud Ninjas assisted the Iwagakure Ninjas in rescuing the wounded, and some even brought a lot of diluted water of life. As long as the internal organs were not shattered, it would not be difficult to save their lives.

On the other side, the retreating Danzo Shimura did not stop, but went straight to the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion, swallowed all the people inside into the Box of Bliss, increased the power of darkness, and used this to bless the power of the World-Destroying Black Lotus. This made him feel better and suppressed the Five-Tails and Six-Tails he had just swallowed.

"Uzumaki Nagato, please don't keep me waiting!"

Danzo Shimura, who destroyed the Fire Country Daimyo Prefecture, once again spoke to himself before heading to the Fire Temple and devouring the entire lineage of monks there.

The monks have always been at odds with their ninja lineage, and the Fire Temple is integrated with the Daimyo Prefecture. Now that they have swallowed up the Daimyo Prefecture, they will naturally swallow up the Fire Temple as well, to prevent these bald donkeys from causing trouble internally when they are fighting against foreign enemies in the future.

Faced with the power of Shimura Danzo, the Fire Temple was unable to resist at all, and soon became dead silent. All the people were swallowed into the Box of Paradise, and the power of darkness surged again.

After clearing out the Fire Temple, Danzo Shimura returned to Konoha.

"Hiruzen, you have sat in that seat long enough. It is time for me to take the seat."

Looking at the Hokage Building below the Hokage Cliff, I couldn't help but feel excited.

Although he no longer cares about the position of Hokage, and his goal is to establish a ninja country and unify the ninja world, the position of Hokage has been his obsession for decades after all.

"Lord Danzo!"

A Root ninja who had infiltrated Konoha earlier ran out of the gate and put the customized Hokage robe on Shimura Danzo.

The robe is black in color with blood-red flame patterns on the bottom edge, which is very gorgeous. The five big characters "Fourth Hokage" are embroidered on the back.

Shimura Danzo made quite a commotion, especially when he summoned tens of thousands of dark legions outside the gate. That kind of huge dark chakra could be sensed even by ninjas who didn't have the ability to perceive ninjutsu. It was an extremely terrifying force.

After a moment's silence, the whole Konoha became restless. Countless figures quickly ran and leaped on the houses and soon arrived at the gate.

Looking at Danzo Shimura wearing the Hokage robe and the dark army behind him, everyone was shocked and speechless.

"Things are going to change in Konoha!"

Looking at Danzo Shimura outside the gate, Mitarai Shishao murmured to himself, realizing that the world of Konoha was about to change.

Judging from Shimura Danzo's posture, he is obviously coming back to seize the throne, and the power he has accumulated over the years is also terrifyingly strong.

Especially now that Konoha has just completed the Ninja World War, the main ninja army was completely wiped out and it is simply unable to fight against Danzo Shimura and the ninja troops he led.

Moreover, those ninjas all had the same dark chakra as Shimura Danzo. He had seen that kind of dark chakra during the Second Ninja World War. It was an extremely terrifying chakra. Once it was contaminated, one would be quickly eroded. It was much more terrifying than the most terrifying poison.

Now that Danzo Shimura has brought such a large and powerful ninja army, it is enough to suppress the Sandaime's side. As long as he suppresses the Sandaime's side and then convinces others, becoming the Fourth Hokage will be a natural thing.

Not only Mitarai Shishao figured this out, many people also saw it clearly and knew that the next battle would be between Shimura Danzo and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the outcome between the two would determine who would lead Konoha in the future.

However, both sides seem to be tough opponents. I hope the situation in the village will not be too bad in the future, otherwise it will be a disaster.

Danzo Shimura said nothing. He was waiting, waiting for his old friend to come.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not let him wait long and soon led his men to the gate. Looking at the scene, especially the long robe on Shimura Danzo, even with his intelligence, his face could not help but become gloomy.

Danzo Shimura walked forward, took off the Hokage hat on the old friend's head and put it on his own head, and said in a condescending manner.

"Huruzen, I will take the position of Hokage today. Is that okay with you?"

As he said this, he used the power of his dark chakra on his old friend to show how powerful he is.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a gloomy face and was silent. He felt the power of Shimura Danzo, a power that surpassed that of the first generation teacher.

Moreover, that kind of dark chakra was too extreme, and even if he controlled the Impure World Reincarnation Army, he would find it difficult to resist.

In other words, he lost. His strength and power were not as developed as Danzo's, so he had no choice but to lose.

Seeing that his old friend didn't say anything, Danzo Shimura was very satisfied. He strode towards the Hokage Building, followed by tens of thousands of dark legions behind him. Their movements were in unison, and their power was extremely terrifying.

Especially since Konoha had just experienced the decisive battle of the Ninja World War, the main force was wiped out, and the high-level strongmen also suffered varying degrees of injuries. It was the weakest time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and looked at the figure moving forward. He struggled internally, but finally sighed. He did not choose to take action and silently walked towards the Hokage Building.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had surrendered, the other people in Konoha also remained silent, tacitly approving Shimura Danzo's seizure of the throne.

In other words, the Hokage of Konoha from now on will be Danzo Shimura!
After arriving at the Hokage's office, Danzo Shimura walked straight to the chair behind the desk and sat down, a smile appearing on his face.

After struggling for so many years, I finally got this position.

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked into the office, closed the door behind him, and questioned with a gloomy face.

"Those people of yours are filled with murderous aura. What did you do?"

He felt that this old friend had not only come back to seize the throne, but must have other big moves.

"Watch your attitude when you talk, I am the Hokage now!"

Shimura Danzo warned in a cold tone, "I am now the Hokage of Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned dark, but he still stared at Shimura Danzo, waiting for his answer.

“I have previously destroyed the Hidden Mist Village, the Water Country Daimyo’s Mansion, the Fire Country Daimyo’s Mansion and the Fire Temple, and severely damaged the Hidden Rock Village.

Next, I want you to help me establish a ninja nation and unify the ninja world."

Shimura Danzo did not hide anything, these things will spread after a while.

He hoped that this old friend could help him do things so that he could better build the Ninja Kingdom.

"You are crazy!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes went dark and he almost fainted from anger. Is this bastard crazy?
The Third Ninja World War was finally over, and everyone was exhausted, but you still wanted to continue the Ninja World War, or start the Fourth Ninja World War.

They even want to establish a ninja country, which is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of all the forces in the world. It is no longer just a matter of the ninja world.

"You have one day to think about it and give me your answer tomorrow."

Danzo Shimura didn't want to argue and just gave a deadline.

"Danzo, you're going to regret this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very angry and said, "If you want to die, don't drag us with you."

"Hiruzen, I am the Hokage!"

With a cold snort, Danzo Shimura once again revealed his current identity.

I am the Hokage, not you!
It took him a long time to suppress his anger. Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say much, turned around and left with a gloomy face.

The matter was done, and he could only think carefully about how to deal with it next.

"Danzo-sama's ambition is truly beyond my expectations."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen left, a figure walked into the office. It was Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was quite surprised by the ambition and strength shown by Danzo Shimura today.

"What's your choice? Orochimaru!"

Looking at the black-haired young man opposite him, Shimura Danzo attached great importance to this former partner, and he could also vaguely see the unusualness of his body, proving that he had improved a lot over the years and was good enough to be his future partner. "Although the wind brought by the adults is a bit dark, it is better than the rotten wind of the old man. I think it will be enough to blow the windmill of Konoha to start turning again."

Orochimaru smiled and expressed his support for Shimura Danzo becoming Hokage.

To be honest, he didn't like Konoha under the old man's rule. Every aspect of it was lifeless and there was not a trace of vitality.

Although Danzo Shimura is not the best choice, he is at least stronger than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Konoha needs such a Kage to lead the way forward, even if it means taking a dangerous path.

Danzo Shimura was very satisfied with Orochimaru's answer. He knew that this was a man who knew how to act and the choice he made this time did not disappoint him.

"What suggestions do you have for my plan for the Ninja Country?"

He was not completely sure about the Ninja Country's plan. Not only did he have to face the powerful Kumogakure, but most importantly, Konoha was not stable internally. Both Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku held powerful forces.

Orochimaru himself is not weak either, and his old friend also controls a huge army of Impure World War II soldiers.

It would be a disaster if we fail to gather the strength of these people, or even if they become our enemies.

In addition, there are third-party forces hidden in the dark, such as Otsutsuki Shari, Uzumaki Nagato, Uchiha Madara, etc., who are all tricky characters.

“To the outside world, as long as we can defeat the Hidden Cloud Village, Lord Danzo will be able to control the entire ninja world.

Internally, I can go and persuade Hiashi-kun and Fugaku-kun, but as for the old man, only Danzo-sama can make an effort."

Orochimaru knew what Shimura Danzo was referring to, and took the initiative to take the responsibility of persuading Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi. This kind of high-end force will be the main force in the next war.

"Where are Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze?"

After thinking for a while, Danzo Shimura mentioned the other two people, who were also a considerable threat, especially Minato Namikaze.

"Minato-kun has been badly injured and it will be difficult for him to recover in a short period of time, not to mention that Uzumaki Kyuubi is pregnant with Danzo-sama's son and cannot go to fight. I will persuade Jiraiya to take them away from Konoha temporarily. It will not affect Danzo-sama."

Orochimaru said some good things for his friend, not wanting Shimura Danzo to be in conflict with that idiot, and even revealed the fact that Uzumaki Kyuubi was pregnant.

Although what happened back then was a bit bloody, the child is indeed the bloodline of Danzo Shimura. I hope he can still have some humanity.

As expected, when it comes to children, Shimura Danzo fell silent.

Even though it wasn't his doing, the child was indeed his, and from what Orochimaru said, it was confirmed to be a boy.

He only had one daughter in his life, and not having a son had always been a regret. Unexpectedly, this regret was now made up for by accident.

"Go and persuade Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi as soon as possible."

After a moment of silence, Danzo Shimura signaled Orochimaru to persuade the two men as soon as possible.

The Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Iwagakure Village, and the Hidden Sand Village will take action soon, so we must prepare as soon as possible.

"Master Danzo, please wait for my good news."

Orochimaru agreed with a smile, then turned and left, first going to the Hyuga clan's territory, and then came to the Uchiha clan's territory with Hyuga Hiashi.

"Is Danzo crazy?"

After hearing what Orochimaru said about the Ninja Country's plan and what Shimura Danzo had done, Uchiha Fugaku was so shocked that the speed of his three-magatama Sharingan increased by one point.

This is really crazy!
"You agree to his plan? Are you crazy too?"

Looking at Orochimaru who looked calm and elegant, Uchiha Fugaku understood that he came here to act as a lobbyist, which meant that he agreed with Shimura Danzo's plan for the Ninja Country.

This guy is crazy too!

Everyone says that the Uchiha ninjas are crazy, but compared to these people, they are completely on a different level.

"From the Second Ninja World War to the Third Ninja World War, according to the previous development of the situation, the next Ninja World War will only be a few years away, and the next Ninja World War is not far away. Aren't you tired of it, Fugaku-kun?"

Orochimaru didn't want to fight in that endless ninja war anymore, mainly because it was too boring.

It would be a good thing if Danzo Shimura could unify the ninja world.

At the same time, this Ninja World War is led by Danzo Shimura, and the pair of Rinnegan will inevitably appear. He has been coveting those eyes for a long time.

Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku was silent for a long time, then looked at Hyuga Hiashi.

"Hiashi-kun, do you agree as well?"

Ever since he was rescued by Hyuga Hiashi during the final battle of the last Ninja World War, his relationship with him has become much closer, and the two families have even joined forces many times.

The situation in the village was too complicated, and he could only huddle together with Hinata Hiashi for warmth.

Now he wanted to hear Hinata Hiashi's choice and opinion.

"During the battle to destroy the Hidden Rain Village, Otsutsuki Shari showed up and took action. He is likely to show up again this time. This is an opportunity for me."

The reason why Hyuga Hiashi was able to come here was naturally because he was persuaded by Orochimaru. He didn't care about Shimura Danzo's plan for the Ninja Country. The only thing he cared about was the Otsutsuki relic.

That eye must be brought back!

"I need you to help me get my eyes back from the Hidden Cloud Village."

After thinking for a while, Uchiha Fugaku finally spoke up and agreed. He also had needs in this battle.

Losing his eyes twice in a row has always been a pain for him, and his own potential has been exhausted. It is impossible for him to awaken the Kaleidoscope again. He needs to get his eyes back, and two pairs of eyes.

Only by getting those two pairs of eyes back can I achieve a major breakthrough.

"I've always been looking forward to Fugaku-kun's eye fusion."

Orochimaru licked his lips. It would be best if he could take back the two pairs of eyes of Uchiha Fugaku. He wanted to see if the two pairs of eyes could be transformed after the fusion of their pupil techniques.

Although he had Uchiha Mingjing's eyes, Uchiha Mingjing's eyes were fused with his father's eyes after all. Even though they were of similar blood, they were still not as good as Uchiha Fugaku's eyes that were awakened by the same person.

If those eyes could merge, it would be a surprise.

I just don’t know what the Hidden Cloud Village and Haojun did with the two pairs of eyes. I’ll ask Haojun when I have the chance.

After convincing Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku, Orochimaru returned home and told Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato about the matter.

"Is Shimura Danzo crazy?"

Jiraiya had the same reaction as Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Fugaku. They all thought that Shimura Danzo was crazy, otherwise how could he make such a crazy decision.

"Shimura Danzo is more sober than all of you. He knows that if the Ninja World War continues, Konoha will eventually be dragged down, so he can only take risks and seek change.

Although the risk is a bit high, the rewards will be huge if successful.”

Orochimaru spoke up for Danzo Shimura, but this made Jiraiya very dissatisfied.

"Are you on Shimura Danzo's side again?"

"Don't you want me to show you the list of people who died in the two Ninja World Wars?"

Orochimaru retorted, he really didn't want to communicate with this idiot, he was a complete stubborn person, he came here mainly to talk to Namikaze Minato.

He had always been very satisfied with this junior, but also always regretted that he was not able to accept him as a disciple and trained him, and instead let Jiraiya raise him to waste.

"Teacher Jiraiya, I would like to ask you to stay in the village and help the village through this difficult time. I will take care of myself and Kyuubin outside."

Minato Namikaze didn't think twice and asked his teacher directly.

Compared with his own safety, he cares more about the village.

Shimura Danzo's plan is too crazy. If he is not careful, the entire Konoha will become history.

Even if I survive, my heart will be filled with guilt and regret.

He couldn't fight now, so he had to ask Sensei Jiraiya to stay.

Jiraiya did not agree, but frowned and thought, with a hesitant look on his face.

"I will find a completely safe place for Minato-kun and the others to stay, and I will also arrange for my clone to assist them to ensure that they are not in danger."

Orochimaru looked at Minato Namikaze with satisfaction and immediately made a promise.

He did not intend to let the body with the Six Paths bloodline appear in front of Danzo Shimura, as he would definitely be sensed by him. What he was using now was the Otsutsuki bloodline clone.

He will arrange six bloodline clones to protect the safety of Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kyupin. He attaches great importance to this nephew and the child in Uzumaki Kyupin's belly, and will never let anything happen to them.
