Chapter 55: Danzo Became Hokage?

[Danzo took advantage of this time to get Hiruzen a new office chair.]

[As fellow high-ranking members of Konoha, and having shared decades of friendship, Hiruzen always managed to receive an unexpected surprise from Danzo.]

[The Third Hokage: He manages dozens of people and travels all over the ninja world every day handling affairs. It's quite thoughtful of him to still find time to think of me.]

The Third Hokage covered his face, feeling too ashamed to face anyone.

For a period of time, he really did have that mindset.

It's like someone in a superior position watching someone in a subordinate position jumping around trying to take their place.

The results of it?

All of this was within his expectations.

These actions only added some fun to his otherwise mundane days.

It has no other use.

However, now that he knows Danzo has done so much behind his back, the Third Hokage is a man of pride, and he's so embarrassed he's practically digging a three-bedroom apartment out of his feet.

The video continued on the screen.

In the battle against the number one terrorist organization in the ninja world, Danzo silently built a solid air barrier for the villagers from the rear.

[To ensure that every villager can breathe fresh air.]

[Konoha villagers: Thank you, thank you so much! That non-mainstream guy with the earring was so unhygienic, he came to the village to poison us. He flew into the sky and let out a huge fart that shook the houses down. If it weren't for Lord Danzo inhaling it and then using his Wind Release to purify the air, everyone in the village would have been too nauseous to eat that night. Look at Tsunade, who was too close to the fart's source, she fainted from hunger because she couldn't eat.]

The villager who was "interviewed" said something very funny.

But the onlookers couldn't laugh at all.

Because they saw on the light screen that a mysterious person appeared in the sky above Konoha, and then used some kind of ninjutsu to expand outward from him, and Konoha Village was razed to the ground.

No, it's not flat ground either; it would be more accurate to call it a large pit.

"Who is this person? Why does he want to destroy Konoha? And what kind of technique is he using?"

Looking at the ruins of Konoha Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with both excitement and fear.

He couldn't think of any kind of ninjutsu that could transform Konoha into what was depicted in the image in an instant.

That's terrifying.

Tobirama Senju did not answer Hiruzen Sarutobi's question because he didn't know how to answer it either.

He clenched his fists, staring intently at the screen, trying to discern more details.

Unfortunately, the images of Konoha's destruction didn't linger for long, and even with Tobirama Senju's keen observation skills, he couldn't discern much more.

"The only thing that can be confirmed is that the time point in the video is more than forty years later."

Jing suddenly spoke, startling everyone out of their shock and fear.

"Why are you all staring at me? Do you think I've gone crazy? That I'll never speak again?"

Jing smiled faintly, clearly having recovered from her initial anger.

"Jing is right."

At this moment, Tobirama spoke up again, continuing Kagami's words, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, in the 'history' without our interference, Tsunade would become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha."

After saying that, Tobirama turned to look at Tsunade, who looked completely bewildered, and thought to himself: I hope he won't ruin Konoha.

"The Fifth Hokage is Tsunade, doesn't that mean the village is doomed?"

Without a doubt, among everyone present, only Jiraiya would say something so brainless.

His words directly led to Tsunade's fist making intimate contact with his cheek.

"Damn Jiraiya, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak."

Orochimaru smiled silently to the side.

With Tobirama's careful guidance, Orochimaru quite enjoyed the playful atmosphere among his friends.

Of course, the playful fighting mentioned here actually refers to Tsunade beating up Jiraiya. If it involves him, then we'd better not.

"No way, will the village really face such a major crisis in the future?"

It is no coincidence.

The ruins of Konoha displayed on the light screen startled not only the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya and the Third Hokage, but also Danzo.

Yes, he dreams of becoming Hokage.

If the village is destroyed, what's the point of him being the Hokage?

"Danzo, Jiraiya, do you know who destroyed Konoha?"

The person's face was not visible in the footage. Through "interviews" with the villagers, the Third Hokage only knew that the person had an earring and was an unconventional individual; he knew nothing else.

He could only turn his gaze to Jiraiya, who had been in charge of Root for many years and had been traveling for a long time, hoping to hear what he wanted from these two.

Unfortunately, both of them shook their heads when faced with the Third Hokage's gaze.

"Hiruzen, I've thought about it carefully, but I don't have any information about this person in my memory."

"Old man, I don't know anything about non-mainstream."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage sighed and turned to look at Orochimaru sitting at the door.

"What do you know?"

Orochimaru certainly knew.

Whether it's the number one terrorist organization in the ninja world, the silhouette on the screen, or the unconventional appearance such as the earring, all these conditions point to the same person.

That would be Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki.

However, knowing this doesn't necessarily mean he'll tell anyone.

Given Pain's strength—enough to destroy Konoha in one strike—even if he revealed the other party's identity, it would only cause him unnecessary trouble.

Not to mention, besides him, the Akatsuki organization has several other capable fighters.

It's better to play it safe and wait a while longer.

Isn't the light screen supposed to connect the village's "past and future"?

Orochimaru felt that it wouldn't be too late to reveal the Akatsuki organization once he had connected with the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

"I'm sorry, I don't know either."

With a strange smile, Orochimaru answered the Third Hokage's question.

"Yeah?"

"Yes."

On that day, Danzo, still full of energy despite inhaling too much poison gas, took on the role of acting Hokage, surrounded by the villagers.

"Hahaha, Hiruzen, did you see that? I finally became Hokage."

"Impossible! How could someone like you become Hokage?"

Danzo was overjoyed.

He finally got the Hokage position he had always longed for.

Especially seeing the incredulous expressions on the faces of the Fifth Hokage and the Third Hokage, even though he was still in danger, he couldn't hide his good mood.

"Nothing is impossible. How could what's shown on the light screen be false?"

Upon hearing this, the two fell silent.

Compared to the destruction of Konoha, they found it even more unbelievable that Danzo could become Hokage. What made him worthy of the title?

Unless, it's a usurpation.

Yes, that must be it.
