Konoha: From Aburame to God.

Chapter 164 Danzo Makes Final Preparations
Hokage's office.

Ever since the news of Sarutobi Hiruzen's retirement spread, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En came to see him in a hurry.

"Huruzen, if you feel too tired, you can take a short break. There is no need to retire so soon."

Utane Koharu looked at Hiruzen's aged face, and the blame she had in her heart immediately disappeared, and she sighed.

"This village still depends on you, Hiruzen, and retiring in such a hurry may cause some unrest. You must be cautious."

Mitomon Enya said with concern.

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled.

"Xiaochun, Yan, I'm becoming more and more exhausted these days. If that's the case, why don't you change to someone more suitable?"

"Everyone in the village also needs a new leader, a young and energetic leader who can bring new hope to everyone."

"But isn't this too fast? You know, only old people like us can stabilize the village at a critical moment. How about we slow down a bit?"

Mitomon En made a suggestion, he felt that Hiruzen was too anxious.

As things stand now, Hiruzen's rule is deeply entrenched and no one can say anything wrong, so wouldn't it be good for it to continue like this?

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled but said nothing. Konoha was indeed very powerful nowadays and his rule was unshakable.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that under his leadership, Konoha could only develop with restrained hands and could not match the reckless madness of other villages.

"Yan, under our leadership, Konoha is now so strong, which has lived up to the expectations of Mr. Tobirama. Leave the rest to the newcomers."

"The new era has no ship capable of carrying the remnants of the old era!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said meaningfully, his tone was gentle but undeniable.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen regained the demeanor of a heroic ninja.

"That's...okay."

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu were a little helpless. They didn't know why Hiruzen was so anxious.

Being so hasty and not giving the old interest groups a chance to adjust their interests is not in the overall interests of Konoha.

Danzo watched coldly from the side. He knew that Hiruzen would never change his mind, so he said nothing.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has reached the absolute peak and no longer needs guys like them.

What's even more hateful is that Sarutobi Hiruzen actually wants to drag them into retirement together. Only Koharu Tenne and Enmi Mito have not thought of this step and have no sense of crisis at all.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo looked at each other, neither of them said anything, they both vaguely saw the final outcome.

"Just like that... let's end it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with difficulty but determination.

After hearing this, Danzo left the Hokage's office with an expressionless face.

"Hiruzen, Danzo is just a little depressed. You know, Danzo has always been to the Hokage..."

Seeing Danzo being so arrogant, Utane Koharu explained.

"I know, Xiaochun."

Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted Utane Koharu and said quietly.

The people who really don’t know are you.

The news of the election of the Fourth Hokage caused heated discussions in Konoha. On the one hand, people praised the achievements of the Third Hokage, and on the other hand, they looked forward to the new Hokage taking office.

A new Hokage represents new opportunities, which means a new division of interests. A group of people will be promoted because of the new Hokage, and some families will also be able to rise up by taking advantage of the opportunity.

This was a carnival, and the entire Konoha was immersed in joy. Only Danzo was walking alone on the street, which was out of tune with the lively atmosphere around him.

Danzo looked at the village with nostalgia, wondering if he would have the chance to stroll in Konoha again like he did now.

"I think Lord Orochimaru deserves the greatest credit, definitely the Fourth Hokage! Without Lord Orochimaru's leadership, I would not have won the war so quickly!"

"No, Lord Minato is called the Yellow Flash. The enemies are all frightened when they see him. Lord Minato played a huge role in the final battle between Konoha and the Cloud Ninja!"

"And Lord Zhiyi, the importance of the Strong Armor needs no further explanation. If Lord Zhiyi doesn't become the Hokage, I will be the first to disagree!"

"Lord Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade are also very likely. Lord Jiraiya's contribution is needless to say, and Lady Tsunade is even more legitimate!"

Danzo was moved when he heard this, and used the transformation jutsu to join the discussion.

"I think that Lord Danzo has made a great contribution. Without Lord Danzo's dedication, Konoha would not have won!"

The villagers were discussing the issue heatedly, but then a voice like this came from the side.

With just this one sentence, the heated atmosphere immediately cooled down.

The villagers of Konoha looked at the person who spoke in confusion.

"Danzo... who is he? What did he accomplish?"

The person who spoke fell silent. He really wanted to publicize his achievements and let these ignorant guys know his greatness.

But he couldn't say the words when they came to his lips. Most of his contributions were the dirty things he did for Konoha and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If it is told to others, it will not be a credit but a crime.

The villager in Danzo's disguise said nothing, which aroused the suspicion of others.

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

An older villager stood up, looked at the villager disguised as Danzo, and said in a thoughtful tone:
"I know that becoming a Hokage is everyone's dream, but don't do anything crooked! If you want to become a Hokage, do it honestly. Doing this secretly is shameful!"

"You are unworthy of being the Hokage! You are not even worthy of participating in the Hokage election!"

Danzo was a little overwhelmed when he heard this, what did he mean by not worthy of participating in the Hokage election?
Danzo was devastated that he couldn't become Hokage, and now he's not even allowed to participate in the Hokage election.

At the beginning, because of a momentary thought, when he needed to cover the rear, he hesitated in front of Teacher Tobirama, and ended up being overtaken by the shameless guy Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Every time Danzo thought about it, he wanted to slap himself in the face. It's not that he didn't have the courage to break away!
If Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't been there, he would have offered to stay behind to cover their retreat after hesitating.

If there was no Sarutobi Hiruzen!

But it was all over. Danzo could only watch helplessly as the Konoha he loved so much fell into the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and was crushed and twisted by him!

You should know that Danzo’s lover is Konoha!
But now the villagers of Konoha actually think that he is not worthy of running for the Hokage election!

He wasn't even given the chance to be a bootlicker!

Under the contempt of the Konoha villagers, Danzo returned to the roots in melancholy.

It’s better not to walk around this street!
"Repair and maintain the Giant Colonial Suit immediately. I want it to be in the best condition at all times!"

"We need to arouse public opinion now and prepare for the next action."

"Tell Ueharashi to obtain the information of the Sky Monster at all costs. It would be best if he could become a Sky Monster independently!"

Under Danzo's orders, the Root members acted in an orderly manner.

"Hiruzen, it's time to end everything!"
