Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 128 Problem Orientation

At present, Shikaku can be regarded as a quasi-senior level official of the Hidden Leaf Village, and he is also the core leader of the three major families of Ino, Shikaku and Chou. Shikaku has a very thorough understanding of some of the dark sides and dirty things in the village.

What kind of person is this Elder Danzo of ours?

Shikaku saw it clearly.

In the Nine-Tails Rebellion twelve years ago, the annihilation of the Uchiha clan five or six years ago, and this time's joint attack by the Sound and Sand Ninjas, their Elder Danzo played a not very glorious role.

Shikaku really doesn't want to see Danzo become the supreme ruler of Konoha, as that would definitely mean disaster for Konoha.

Shikaku firmly hopes to see Jiraiya become the representative of Konohagakure ninja as Hokage, and he also believes that the people from the major families in the village now certainly want to see a similar result.

"Well, I knew that you, Danzo, would have the same opinion as us. Then, Shikaku, report this result to the Daimyo-sama, keep all the ceremonies simple, and then send a note to other ninja villages as soon as possible."

Mito Kado En deliberately pretended not to understand the hidden meaning of Danzo's words, and directly decided that this was a decision made by the three elders and consultants.

"Yes, then I will..."

Shikaku nodded in response, before he could finish his words.

"Wait a minute, I'm not the most suitable candidate for Hokage. You should also know that my personality is not suitable for being Hokage at all."

On the opposite side, Jiraiya, who had remained silent just now, spoke directly.

This is the words spoken.

Danzo's brows couldn't help but move, and a hint of anger and desire was revealed deep in his pupils.

When Shikaku heard Jiraiya's words, he was suddenly shocked.

Lord Jiraiya is unwilling to serve as Hokage?

How could this be possible!? Are they really going to let Danzo be the Hokage? That is definitely a development that Shikaku doesn't want to see.

Mitomon En, who was sitting opposite him, frowned and said directly, "Jiraiya, this is not just a problem for you alone. This is an important matter for the entire Konoha. You must understand that Konoha is now at its most dangerous moment. You must take on your responsibilities."

"Of course I know, so you don't need to nag me. I'm not shirking my responsibilities, but there is someone who is more qualified to be the Hokage than me, don't you think?"

Jiraiya waved his hand, interrupting Mito Kado En's words, and leaned forward slightly, saying these words.

It also made everyone present stunned.

Shikaku was the one who reacted the fastest, in less than a second.

Shikaku then realized who Jiraiya was talking about.

'If it is that gentleman, it is indeed the most suitable, especially in terms of status.'

There was a hint of thought in Lu Jiu's pupils, and he was thinking secretly in his heart.

"Are you talking about Tsunade? That is indeed a more suitable candidate."

After all, Mitokado En and Utane Koharu are old, and unlike Jiraiya who occasionally came back a few times over the years, Tsunade has not returned to Konoha for more than ten years. Naturally, the two of them did not react for a while.

But it was only a delay of a few seconds.

Utane Koharu was the first to react.

After hearing this, Mizuto Menyan also nodded slowly.

"Well, if it's Tsunade, then that's fine, but, Jiraiya, Tsunade is not in the village right now, you..."

"I'm responsible for finding Tsunade, is that all right?"

Jiraiya looked up at Mitokado En and said in a deep voice, "Of course you can, but there is one thing I want to say first, Jiraiya, if you can't find Tsunade, or Tsunade is unwilling to come back, you still have to be the Fifth Hokage. This is not a question of whether you are willing or not, but the request of the entire village. Do you understand?"

After making eye contact with Utane Koharu, Mizuto Menen turned around and looked at Jiraiya with a serious expression and said.

Although Mitokado En and Utatane Koharu were not as opposed to Danzo becoming the village Hokage as Shikaku was, they did think that Jiraiya and Tsunade were the most suitable.

Strength and status are the same thing.

What’s more important is the prestige and trustworthiness in the village.

After all, Danzo is the person in power in the Root. Ordinary ninjas may not know about the dark things he has been involved in over the years, but how could the people in power in the big families not be aware of it?

It is generally difficult for these people to accept Danzo becoming Hokage.

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu both see this point very clearly.

Danzo himself could more or less see this, and that was why, over the past few years, Danzo had been drifting away from his close friends, to the point where he sent people to assassinate Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If necessary.

It is not difficult to ruthlessly kill Mitomon En and Utane Koharu.

Danzo is now completely obsessed, with his only focus on the throne of Hokage.

That obsession has been engraved deep into Danzo's soul.

'snort! ’

Danzo, who was standing aside, also looked expressionless, but in fact he was filled with anger and resentment in his heart.

He just couldn't accept it, why couldn't he become Hokage! ?
"Don't worry, I will definitely find Tsunade and I will definitely convince her."

Jiraiya waved his hand and spoke in a very firm tone.

"I'll send a few ANBU to go with you then."

Mizuto Menen nodded, and then obviously planned to prepare an additional insurance measure.

"Don't bother with that. If I really want to do something, can a few Anbu stop me? Don't worry, it's different now than before. I know this very well. I won't forget my identity."

Jiraiya sat up straight and replied with a serious look on his face.

Seeing Jiraiya being so persistent.

Mitokado En and Utane Koharu didn't say much. They also believed in Jiraiya. Even if he might seem careless on some other issues, this time it was a big issue involving the entire Konoha, so Jiraiya would definitely think twice before acting.

"In addition, there is the issue of the Sand Village, Orochimaru, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki - Uzumaki Menma. This is the most important issue besides the selection of the successor to Hokage, especially the latter. Uzumaki Menma must be captured in the shortest possible time."

After Mizuto Menen nodded, he spoke with a stern look.

The Sand Village betrayed the alliance.

Orochimaru's attack on Konoha and his killing of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, were indeed major events, and would shake the core issues of Konoha's foundation, but compared with the defection of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, they seemed less important.

The tailed beasts were important "weapons" that the major ninja villages relied on to intimidate other countries.

Not to mention the most powerful Nine-Tailed Fox.

This is the highest priority issue for the Hidden Leaf Village and must be dealt with immediately.
