Train to Another World.

Chapter 140 Danzo
When William stopped crying, he returned to his previous depressed and indifferent appearance, as if nothing that had happened before had ever happened.

Arriving at the inn of the Land of Fire, the waiter checked the seal written by Shijimi, and everyone received the highest level of treatment.

Ariana was enjoying an oversized fruit platter, while Xiong Fa Cai was drinking honey water. He would add three spoonfuls of honey to a small cup of water.

Qin Daniu was simple and asked the waiter for a training room. Seeing this, Wei Changfeng gritted his teeth and followed him.

As for William, he asked the waiter for some rare materials, clothes that were convenient for movement, and a hand axe.

Li Zhuoguang went into the bedroom as he said and said he wanted to take a nap. He also told the waiter that no matter who came to see him, they should wait until he woke up.

But he was just talking, how could he sleep at his age? After closing the door, he sat cross-legged and began to practice the cultivation method given by Xiong Facai. The true qi he cultivated was constantly infected by the crimson magic power of the traitor, and then he used the method his body could accept to continuously strengthen his body in the direction of a human cultivator.

During the training, Li Zhuoguang slowly opened his circle and monitored the surroundings. To his satisfaction, he did not find any ninjas nearby monitoring him.

The only three ninjas around him were Danzo and his two subordinates who were waiting in the inn. During the time that Li Zhuoguang was leaving them alone, Danzo had already drunk three bowls of matcha and had no intention of asking anyone to urge Li Zhuoguang to meet the guests.

This situation made Li Zhuoguang quite satisfied, as it proved that Danzo still had a lot of respect for the high-ranking officials of the Land of Fire. After all, his position as the Acting Hokage was also designated by the Daimyo. Even after Danzo and the bridge perished together, Kakashi's position as the Sixth Hokage was also designated by the Daimyo.

Although Konoha and the Land of Fire are in an equal cooperative relationship in the setting, even the Hokage can be appointed by the Daimyo. What kind of equality is this?

Every time he saw this kind of plot, Li Zhuoguang always felt very confused. Isn't it true that power comes from the barrel of a gun? Looking at the original work, the only high-end combat force directly under the Daimyo was the Fire Temple, which was no match for Konoha.

From beginning to end, only the madman Obito had attacked the daimyo. The rest of the ninjas, no matter what camp they were in, still protected the authority of the daimyo of each country.

After leaving Danzo alone for three hours, Li Zhuoguang finally "got up". He was too lazy to even do a little face-saving work. When he saw Danzo, he confronted him: "Isn't this our Deputy Hokage? What's the matter? Are you here to apologize?"

"Because of the delay in intelligence, my ninjas disturbed the minister, and I was very frightened. Fortunately, the minister is not seriously injured, so I feel relieved." Danzo lowered his head slightly, and his attitude was very humble. He did not quibble.

After all, things are different now than in the past. In the past, when something like this happened, people could pretend to be ignorant and put the blame on the Hokage.

Now that he has become the Hokage, logically speaking, all the ninjas in Konoha are his subordinates, and any mistakes made by his subordinates can be blamed on him.

Minister? Isn't he an official? The minister in charge of finance is not on the same level as an official. Did that cheap aunt upgrade me?

Li Zhuoguang pondered in his heart. He did not suspect that Danzo had made a mistake. The incident had already happened for three hours. If he had not obtained the corresponding information, then his work as a secret agent in the ninja world would have been in vain.

"Acting Hokage, in fact, there has always been a lot of controversy in the country about your acting Hokage. Now this kind of thing has happened again. You make me doubt your ability, don't you?"

“I’m deeply sorry.”

"I am a straightforward person and I don't blame anyone for anything. What I am about to say is not intended to offend you." Friends who have rich social experience know that when they hear the above three sentences, they should understand them in reverse.

So when Danzo, who had rich social experience, heard Li Zhuoguang's "forward shake", his heart skipped a beat.

As expected, Li Zhuoguang continued, "Let's not talk about my business for now. I'm not a petty person, and I'm not injured. What I want to talk about is whether you are competent for the job."

"I have been through three great ninja wars and have always served Konoha with all my heart..."

Li Zhuoguang waved his hand, interrupting Danzo's story: "Three times? How come I only remember one? You probably didn't go to the battlefield the other two times.

Let's talk about the recent past. I didn't see you during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, nor did I see you during the Akatsuki invasion. The Third Hokage had already reported your founding of the Root.

Honestly, we didn't find that Root was any help to Konoha. Even the only spy mission that was done well didn't send back much useful information. As for counterintelligence, Root's role is not as good as the previous Konoha Guard. After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, we thought that Root would take the lead, but you didn't achieve anything. Even the interrogation unit was more useful than you, and that was just a small team.

A department that rivals the Anbu, losing to the Uchiha is fine, but after losing to the Uchiha, they also lost to the torture unit. If they continue to lose, they will lose face. "

Danzo lowered his head even lower, because what Li Zhuoguang said was the truth. Although "Gen" had accomplished many great things over the years, he was not the good-for-nothing as Li Zhuoguang described him.

But can we talk about the things that Gen did?
"Before, due to the need for secret work, I had many inconveniences in my actions. Now that I am the Hokage..."

"The Hokage."

"…Since you are the next Hokage, there will naturally be new things."

"Those who support you say the same thing, but there are more people who don't. The two groups are arguing with each other, and it's giving Daming a headache. So I came here."

"Why is the Minister here?"

"After discussions among all parties, we have decided on the principle of 'the capable will be promoted, the average will be replaced, and the mediocre will be demoted' to ensure fair competition for the position of Hokage. In order to highlight fairness, I will be the one to select a competitor for you."

Danzo's face was uncertain: "So does the Minister have a candidate in mind?"

Li Zhuoguang said indifferently: "I think Hatake Kakashi is a good fit, right? But we still need to consider the specific candidate. But these are not what you should care about.

The present is an era of natural selection and survival of the fittest. Reality is cruel. Only by actively adapting to the development of the ninja world and striving to improve one's own core competitiveness can one avoid being eliminated in the trend of the times.

"Current Hokage, you need to improve your core competitiveness!"

As an old man with a dark heart, Danzo understood what was meant, took a few steps forward, and said softly, "Please explain clearly, Your Excellency."

"I came out this time to select the Hokage, but I actually have another mission. However, I have few people available..."

"Konoha ninjas should serve the Land of Fire with all their strength!"

"You have a heart, Dai Hokage."

After that, the tense atmosphere between the two men dissipated, and for a moment, both the host and the guest were happy. Finally, Li Zhuoguang personally escorted Danzo out of the inn.

On the second day, Danzo received a message from Li Zhuoguang that he was going to nominate Uzumaki Naruto as the candidate for Hokage. What else could he say?

This is sure!

He immediately prepared a valuable gift and planned to go to Li Zhuoguang's house to thank him. However, he heard that Li Zhuoguang was drafting a letter to be submitted to the daimyo and could not be disturbed. He could only leave the gift and leave alone.

And what about Li Zhuoguang? He was really writing a letter.

He was sitting at the desk in his bedroom, thinking hard for a long time, and then he wrote:

Preface, dear aunt, I am your lovely nephew Li Zhuoguang...
