Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

Neji's pupils contracted, never expecting the truth to be like this.

"So, Neji, what do you think the Senju clan's fate will be?"

Neji opened his mouth, but could not utter a word.

"But, since we already have the first generation of cells, why do we need more..."

"So you're being too naive. The chances of success with just the cells of the first generation are pitifully small."

What would you do in this situation?

Neji turned his head and stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Hokage-sama, is what he said true?"

"Ah!" Hiruzen Sarutobi readily admitted.

"The power of Wood Release is very strong. If, just if, it is possible to recreate the glory of the First Hokage, that would be the epitome of ending the war sooner."

"Although Danzo was the one who spearheaded and presided over this matter, it was also with my tacit approval!"

"Moreover, it is the responsibility of each Hokage to increase the strength of Konoha."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt guilty, but he did not regret it.

"But what was the result?" Neji asked.

"Just for this one reason? You think you can make an entire clan disappear? Hokage-sama!" Neji asked angrily.

Neji is not from this world, nor has he ever been Hokage, so we don't know why he did this.

"Heh, Neji, so what do you plan to do now?"

Chapter 51 I Oppose

Orochimaru looked at Neji with a sly smile, waiting for his next answer.

Neji looked at Orochimaru with a puzzled expression, then said, "I..."

At that moment, another loud shout interrupted Neji's words, and Neji's face darkened.

"Wait!" Hiruzen Sarutobi hurriedly shouted, almost using all his strength, fearing that Neji would fall into Orochimaru's trap.

At the same time, he glared at Orochimaru with ill intent, wishing he could beat this traitor to death, so angry that he couldn't even die in peace.

"I should have smashed that traitorous disciple to death with a single blow back then!"

I hate it!!

"Neji, Konoha is your home," Hiruzen Sarutobi said weakly. He wouldn't die in peace until this was resolved!

"Hmph! Trying to play the emotional card..." Orochimaru sneered, "Neji..."

"All of you shut up!" Neji's face darkened. "Can't you let me finish what I have to say?!"

“First of all, it’s you.” Neji pointed at Orochimaru.

"What does his dark history with Danzo have to do with me? Does it matter whether I become Hokage or not?!"

Orochimaru was stunned and speechless, which immediately made Hiruzen Sarutobi beam with joy: "Good boy..."

As a result, his hopes were dashed before he could finish speaking.

"And then there's you," Neji said, pointing at Hiruzen Sarutobi. "Did I say I wanted to be Hokage? What's the rush?"

"Now, you should either die or leave, hurry up," Neji said impatiently.

Seriously, those two are brain-dead.

"Ugh~" Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't catch his breath and kicked his legs.

Orochimaru's lips twitched, and he was carried away by Tayuya and the other three.

After they left, Neji sighed softly. Hiruzen Sarutobi was dead, and Danzo couldn't sit still any longer. His good days were numbered.

Neji laughed. Yes, Danzo's good days are numbered. He's had enough of being monitored every day for the past month. Before carrying out his future plans, he should take care of Danzo first.

Soon after, Might Guy, Kakashi, and a group of Anbu arrived at the scene. When they saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's corpse, they were immediately overwhelmed with deep sorrow.

In the days that followed, Konoha was in the process of rebuilding and held a grand funeral for the Third Hokage and the ninjas who died in the battle.

But they had no time to grieve; the news of this great upheaval in Konoha would soon spread to all the other ninja villages.

Konoha never lost a single one of the three Shinobi World Wars. Coupled with its superior geographical location and abundant resources, Konoha boasts a large number of powerful shinobi, such as Uchiha Shisui, Konoha's White Fang, and the Yellow Flash…

Konoha, which once left other ninja villages far behind, has finally suffered a major loss. How could they possibly let this opportunity slip by?!

The death of the Third Hokage, in particular, left Konoha without its backbone. One can imagine that the ninja world today is in turmoil, with everyone eyeing Konoha as a prize.

Therefore, Konoha urgently needs to rebuild and restore its vitality. Moreover, because of this major change, the elders of Konoha are in a state of utter chaos.

Among these, the most important thing is to elect the Fifth Hokage.

In the Konoha meeting room, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Danzo Shimura sat together, discussing how to handle a large number of emergency matters.

When the topic of the Fifth Hokage came up, Danzo finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He planned for so long and waited for so long just to sit in this seat.

"I believe that I am the only one qualified to be the Fifth Hokage," Danzo said confidently.

This surprised Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado. They knew Danzo wanted to become Hokage, but they didn't expect him to say it so clearly.

The Kage of each village is passed down from the older generation to the younger, in the hope that Konoha can last longer; this is a kind of unwritten rule.

Although Konoha doesn't have any suitable young people right now, Danzo is too old. What if he disappears in a few years? Will Konoha have to choose another one?

In that case, isn't the Hokage being changed a bit too quickly?

It was precisely because of this concern that the two of them did not immediately offer their opinions.

"Hehe." Danzo wasn't in a hurry; in his view, this matter was already a foregone conclusion.

There are no such figures among the younger generation. The younger Tsunade and Jiraiya have no interest in becoming Hokage, so he has no rivals.

"Hehe, Koharu, Menyan, no need to consider it. Apart from me, there is no one else in Konoha who can shoulder this great responsibility."

Danzo said leisurely, offering them a gentle reminder.

"This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mito both looked rather grim; they were being forced to make a choice.

After a moment, the two sighed softly. Given the current situation, Konoha really couldn't wait any longer.

"Danzo, we agree to your proposal, but as you know, you've been operating in the shadows for a long time, and many people have never even seen you, so..."

"I understand."

The following day, a large crowd gathered in front of the Hokage's office building, bustling about and watching the figure on the high-rise.

"Is that the future Fifth Hokage?"

"I've heard that besides the Anbu, Konoha also has a Root organization, and this person is the leader of the Root organization."

"Yes, it is said that his strength is no different from that of the Third Hokage, and he is also a disciple of the Second Hokage."

Listening to the discussions around them, Kakashi, Might Guy, and the others couldn't help but frown. They knew Danzo's character very well.

Better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.

"I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."

Might Guy patted Kakashi on the shoulder: "It's okay, just be yourself, that's what youth is all about."

They wanted to voice their opposition, but Danzo was so senior, powerful, and invincible that they simply couldn't bring him down.

Neji was also in the crowd, completely unaware of why things had turned out this way. Logically, Jiraiya shouldn't have gone out to look for Tsunade, so what was going on?

Moreover, Neji turned around slightly, and Naruto hadn't left either.

"Naruto, where is the Great Toad Sage?" Neji asked.

"Oh, you mean that lecherous old man!" Naruto rubbed his chin, squinted, and pondered. "Come to think of it, I haven't seen him in a long time."

"Oh, I remember now!" Naruto slammed his fist down.

"He left before the Chunin Exams, saying he was going to find inspiration or something... What a lecherous old man."

Naruto pursed his lips, utterly disbelieving that he could be one of the legendary "Sannin." Heaven knows what he'd been up to with him!

"I see, he didn't come back." Neji turned around and looked at Danzo on the high-rise building.

My arrival seems to have brought about great changes to this world.

Looking down at the crowd from the high-rise building, Danzo felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

"Hehe, after today, I will be the Fifth Hokage." Danzo laughed from the bottom of his heart. This was his dream for many years, and now it was finally about to come true.

"Sarutobi, just watch closely. Under my rule, Konoha will definitely annex the other ninja villages and unify the ninja world."

"Danzo, hurry up, don't keep everyone waiting too long," Mitokado Homura urged.

"Ah."

"Ahem, everyone, I suppose many of you don't know much about me yet. Hehe, I am the Second Hokage..."

"Wait!"

"I object to you becoming Hokage!"

Chapter 52 Do you want to betray the village?!

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, breaking the quiet atmosphere like a thunderclap.

At this moment, Danzo was speaking. He was a disciple of the Second Hokage, possessed Kage-level strength, and controlled the Root organization. He could be considered the most prestigious person in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

So when he spoke, everyone else fell silent instantly, as if they had become mute, listening quietly to Danzo's speech. Even Kakashi and the others had to remain silent.

They were so quiet that you could probably hear a pin drop.

In this situation, who would dare to interrupt?

But now, this has actually happened, and someone has uttered such a... astonishing opinion, which immediately startled everyone else.

Moreover, he interrupted Danzo's speech directly, showing no mercy in front of everyone.
