Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 131 I, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage

Natsume left the room.

Jingyin was the only one in the living room.

He was slightly taken aback and asked, "Where's the teacher?"

Shizune looked up and replied, "An ANBU ninja just arrived and said that Lord Jiraiya has returned and the Hokage asked her to attend a meeting."

Are you back so quickly?

In other words, today will be the day to decide who will be the Fifth Hokage.

Natsume's expression changed slightly.

He was too busy yesterday and forgot to go find the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

However, there is still time.

"Sister Jingyin, I'm going to cultivate now."

Natsume ran to the door and changed his shoes.

"Hey? Aren't you going to eat breakfast?"

Shizune quickly called out, "I made this today!"

"I'll definitely do it next time."

Natsume opened the door and left.

He used the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared in the Daimyo Prefecture.

A mansion, also called the Daimyo Mansion, was built specifically for the Daimyo to rest in Konoha Village.

Sure enough, Daimyo Ichikyu was still there.

Natsume breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the middle-aged man eating breakfast.

In fact, in the original work, the daimyo of the Land of Fire did not like Shimura Danzo.

But there's always a chance of something going wrong.

Danzo Shimura wasn't a traditional ninja, so it's not impossible for him to control the Daimyo of the Land of Fire in order to become Hokage.

Natsume pondered for a moment and decided to use Yomi no Tsukuyomi instead of Kotoamatsukami.

He was worried that if any Hyuga clan ninjas were present, it would be quite bad if Kotoamatsukami were discovered.

But Huangquanjin is different; it is not an illusion and there are no abnormal chakra fluctuations.

Even if someone rolls their eyes, they might not notice.

Natsume activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and unleashed a Yomijin on the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

This made him forget his promise to Shimura Danzo within a week.

But he will remember today's election of the new Fifth Hokage.

Tsunade, who is respectfully called the Princess of Konoha, is not given this title for nothing; she has close ties with the Land of Fire.

Without external coercion, the choice is obvious.

Yuan Shixiu felt nothing. After finishing his breakfast and changing his clothes, he arrived at the Hokage Building under the protection of his guards.

At this moment, everyone had arrived at the Hokage's office.

Except for Orochimaru.

"We went to Lord Orochimaru's residence, but no one was there."

The ANBU ninja knelt on one knee and said.

Danzo Shimura frowned immediately.

What happened?

This is not what we agreed on.

What he didn't know was that in Orochimaru's mind, he was far inferior to Shin Uchiha.

He lost interest in the Hokage position after Jiraiya's student, Minato Namikaze, became Hokage.

Due to various factors, Orochimaru forgot about it.

"You may leave."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "His absence won't make a difference."

"I think we should keep looking."

Danzo Shimura raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Orochimaru is, after all, one of the Legendary Sannin. The new Hokage must obtain his permission."

"What's this about permission or prohibition?"

Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade and asked, "If Tsunade becomes Hokage, does Orochimaru disagree?"

"Who will be the Hokage has not been decided yet."

Danzo Shimura was immediately speechless with anger. He raised his voice slightly and emphasized, "She's not the only candidate today!"

Jiraiya pursed his lips.

At such an advanced age, he still dreams of becoming Hokage?

It's time for him to step down.

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Today, Danzo Shimura is acting very strangely.

Because his relationship with Orochimaru was usually quite ordinary.

How could someone with such a cold personality say something so warm?

Unless the two of them conspired together.

Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fists instinctively.

This is really too abnormal.

Ever since the Uchiha clan was massacred, it seems as if an invisible force has been driving it.

Danzo, I hope you won't do anything wrong.

Otherwise, I, your old friend, will have to see you off.

"Your name has arrived!"

A loud voice rang out from outside the door.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately stood up to greet him.

Yuan Shixiu nodded and naturally sat down in the high position, which was the Hokage's seat.

"Let's begin now. Everyone, let's vote and decide on the Fifth Hokage as soon as possible."

"I propose it myself."

"I can't wait to say it," Shimura Danzo said.

He's too lazy to pretend anymore.

Although Orochimaru is gone, his advantage still remains.

Since the Tsunade candidate does not participate in the vote, the remaining candidates—Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado—are now in a two-on-two situation.

The decision fell to Yuan Shixiu.

Danzo Shimura had already reached an agreement with him.

Won!

Naruto, finally, belongs to me, Shimura Danzo!

He was about to burst into laughter.

Don't blame him for having such a lack of self-control.

Because he is already sixty-two years old this year.

Where in the world is there a candidate for Hokage for sixty years?

"I'll throw the totems."

Jiraiya said without hesitation.

The three ninjas grew up together, so their bond goes without saying.

Moreover, he disliked Danzo Shimura.

This person is far too dark and ruthless.

If he becomes Hokage, Konoha will never have peace.

"I pledge allegiance to Danzo."

Koharu and Homura exchanged a glance and said in unison.

Hiruzen Sarutobi twitched the corner of his mouth.

They really did plan this together.

Fortunately, Orochimaru was out on business.

"I'll throw the totems."

After speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Enichi Kyu and said, "I ask that you, Daimyo, make the decision."

"The two sides are evenly matched, which is quite interesting."

Yuan Shixiu swept past Tsunade and Shimura Danzo.

There was a brief period of confusion regarding the latter.

Why is the gaze directed at me so intense, so uncomfortable?

"I think Tsunade is more suited to be Hokage."

The city finally announced its closure.

"What did you say?!"

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Shimura Danzo. "Say that again?!"

"Danzo!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was shocked and shouted angrily, "Are you insane?"

Although the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has no real power over Konoha, he is a major financial backer.

Yuan Shixiu was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

How could an ordinary person like him withstand the murderous aura of such a powerful figure?

"You bastard, you dare lie to me?!"

Danzo Shimura completely ignored him, looking at Enichi Kyu, who had already lost his mind.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Sure enough.

It was Shimura Danzo who invited Enichi Kyu to come.

Now he has suddenly turned against him, which has angered him.

"That's enough!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared suddenly, his aura fully unleashed, his divine robes fluttering wildly, "Danzo, do you want me to capture you now? Do you only feel satisfied when you're in such a humiliating situation?"

Danzo Shimura jolted awake.

If this continues, he may never be able to recover.

Besides, he can't beat them.

Not only Hiruzen Sarutobi, but also Jiraiya and Tsunade.

As for Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, they will only provide verbal support in all aspects except for action.

"It was I who lost my composure."

Shimura Danzo suddenly hunched over, leaned on his cane, and turned to leave.

Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted coldly, but ultimately did not make a move.

Since Root has already disbanded, Danzo Shimura can no longer interfere in Konoha's affairs.

"I'm sorry for the trouble."

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around and helped Enichi up, saying quickly.

"As Hokage, if you can't even manage your own people, you really should retire!"
