All the dead have been counted and all the wounded have been settled.
The damaged houses are still being cleaned up.
The Konoha Village ninjas sent out more people to patrol at night. Konoha Village suffered heavy damage. This was the most dangerous time and it was very likely that enemy forces would take advantage of the situation and sneak in.
The Third Hokage was also seriously injured, but as the Hokage, he did not rest but worked until late at night.
Even so, the pressure and punishment he faced were extremely heavy.
After the top leaders of Konoha Village, consultants Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu, finished calculating the various loss data, they rushed to the Third Hokage's office to demand accountability.
Also accompanying them is the sinister old man Danzo Shimura!
The candlelight in the room was swaying because of the wind from opening the door. Under the flickering candlelight, the Third Hokage looked obviously much older.
This injury not only damaged his health, but also damaged his already old age.
Even more serious was the psychological trauma suffered by the Third Hokage.
'Orochimaru was once the most proud disciple of the Third Hokage!'
Now this disciple has not made any significant contribution to Konoha Village, but has caused Konoha Village to suffer such serious losses today.
As Orochimaru's teacher, the Third Hokage cannot escape blame.
After this incident, there is no doubt that the Third Hokage's position as Hokage has come to an end.
Even if the top leaders of Konoha Village and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire would not blame the Third Hokage, he would not have the face to continue serving as the Hokage of Konoha Village.
He is really old!
"Third generation, let's talk."
Mitomon En was very serious.
Utane Koharu sat down without hesitation, and only Shimura Danzo stood there, looking like he was enjoying a good show, which was very hateful.
The Third Hokage put down the documents in his hand and said calmly: "I know what you want to say. When Konoha Village stabilizes, I will voluntarily resign from the position of Hokage."
Utatane Koharu said coldly: "This is what you should have done. If you hadn't been soft-hearted and let Orochimaru go, Konoha Village wouldn't have suffered such a serious accident now."
"Do you know that Konoha Village has become the laughing stock of the entire ninja world? You, the Third Hokage, have really taught a good apprentice."
Shimura Danzo did not expect that the Third Hokage would be so self-aware. He said impatiently: "After you resign as Hokage, I can take over the management."
The Third Hokage laughed angrily, "How dare you say that? Where were you and your Root ninjas when Konoha Village was in crisis?"
According to statistics, there was not a single one of Danzo Shimura's men on the list of ninja casualties in Konoha Village.
Of course, the old fox Danzo Shimura never showed up at all.
Shimura Dan showed one eye, and said shamelessly: "Why should I come forward? The crisis brought by Orochimaru is the hidden danger left by you, the third generation... What I have to do is to preserve the strength of Konoha Village as much as possible and prevent enemy forces from other villages from taking advantage of the situation!"
It sounded high-sounding, but the Third Hokage couldn't refute it.
"Shimura Danzo is indeed unfit to be the acting Hokage!"
Mitomon En and Utane Koharu also don't think highly of Shimura Danzo.
Although they were not satisfied with the Third Hokage, at least the Third Hokage was much stronger than Danzo Shimura.
"..."
Shimura Danzo's face looked a little ugly. These two old guys, stop looking down on others.
I thought Danzo Shimura would get the upper hand in tonight's high-level talks, but unexpectedly, he became an outsider.
"Keli's performance this time was particularly outstanding."
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, this is your only bright spot in this incident. During your last period in power, you were able to train a ninja of Klee's level."
I heard Mitomon En and Utane Koharu praising Klee.
Danzo Shimura came out to sing a different tune.
"Although Klee successfully defeated Orochimaru, Orochimaru was only injured and escaped. Orochimaru may come back at any time and take revenge on Konoha Village."
"As for Klee, she is not from our Konoha Village after all. Her identity is mysterious. She can gain such powerful strength in a short period of time. We must be on guard!"
"If she becomes the second Orochimaru, the harm to Konoha Village will be devastating!"
Although Danzo Shimura's words were harsh, a big traitor like Orochimaru has already appeared, and no one can guarantee Klee's future.
"Klee is not like Orochimaru!"
The Third Hokage came forward to guarantee it.
"Klee is kindhearted by nature. She seeks great power, but she does it in a proper way. She won't go as far as Orochimaru!"
"..."
"..."
Mitomon En and Utane Koharu did not comment. After a moment of calm, they said, "After the incident is over, we will arrange for Klee to become an elite jonin in Konoha Village."
"Find a way to deepen her feelings for Konoha Village."
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En are still very optimistic about Klee.
After all, in Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha Village, if there was no Klee, the crisis of Konoha Village would be unimaginable.
First of all, we will definitely not see the Third Hokage!
I can talk to Sarutobi Hiruzen tonight thanks to Klee, otherwise, all I would see is the corpse of the Third Hokage.
"You don't have to do it too deliberately, or it might backfire." The Third Hokage said, "Klee has been in Konoha Village for almost a year, and she already has quite a few friends."
The words of the Third Hokage are worthy of attention from Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu.
"Okay, let's not talk about Keli anymore."
"Since you, the Third Hokage, are planning to resign, have you decided on the candidate for the Fifth Hokage?"
'I!'
Danzo Shimura really wanted to say: I can.
However, judging from the expressions of Mitomon En and Utane Koharu, they had never considered him at all.
'hateful! ’
'It's absolutely abominable!'
The Third Hokage looked at the candlelight, which was dimming and almost burning out.
If Klee had not taken action, the Third Hokage might have died in the battle. Even if the Third Hokage was alive now, he would not be able to do anything for Konoha Village.
It’s time to retire…
'Being able to retire alive is a great reward.'
Whether it is Konoha Village, Sand Village, or other hidden villages, most of those who can become [Kage] die in this position.
It's impossible to retire alive.
The first Hokage was like this, the second Hokage was like this, and the fourth Hokage was like this.
The Fourth Kazekage was also assassinated...
"I have two candidates in mind!"
The Third Hokage hesitated and said, "Jiraiya, and Tsunade."
"no--"
Shimura Danzo was very dissatisfied. "These two are your disciples, Sarutobi Hiruzen..."
"What's wrong with my apprentice?" The Third Hokage looked at Shimura Danzo and asked coldly, "Do you have a better candidate?"
"..."
This question left Danzo Shimura speechless. Although he had trained many powerful ninjas, none of them could compare to the legendary three ninjas in terms of fame and skills.
Even the current Konoha hero [Klee], in the eyes of everyone, was cultivated by the Third Hokage.
"When Jiraiya was young, he was not very stable and had a casual personality. Now he should be able to be the fifth Hokage."
Utatane Koharu felt that Jiraiya was okay. Although he was not as good as the Third Hokage, he was at least more suitable than Danzo Shimura.
Over the years, Jiraiya has been serving Konoha Village conscientiously and hardworkingly.
"I think Tsunade might be more suitable to be the fifth Hokage!" Mito Kado En had a different opinion.
Utane Koharu was a little dissatisfied. "Tsunade can't do that. She is a female ninja. Besides, she has been away from Konoha Village for so many years and has no more contributions."
"Although she is a female ninja, she is the granddaughter of the first Hokage. Now that Konoha Village has suffered a severe blow and morale is low, if we can invite Princess Tsunade back, perhaps the morale of Konoha Village can be restored to its glory."
Mitomon En continued to analyze, "Besides, Tsunade's medical ninjutsu is recognized as the strongest in the entire ninja world. There are many wounded people in Konoha Village now. It's time to invite her back."
The Third Hokage listened to the opinions of the two advisors and concluded: "Well, I will first arrange for someone to invite Tsunade back, and then discuss whether to let Jiraiya take over or let Tsunade become the Fifth Hokage."
Although Utane Koharu was somewhat dissatisfied with Tsunade, she nodded.
Although Tsunade is the granddaughter of the first Hokage, her identity is more suitable to be the fifth Hokage.
But Tsunade is not as good as Jiraiya. After some things happened back then, Tsunade left Konoha Village on her own accord. For many years, we only heard that she gambled everywhere, was heavily in debt, and had made no achievements. Such a ninja, even if she has status and fame, is not as good as Jiraiya.
Although Jiraiya has many shortcomings, he has the assistance of two advisors, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En, who help him correct them. Given his contributions to Konoha Village over the years, he is more suitable to become the new Hokage.
"..."
Shimura Danzo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he could only remain silent.
It seems that he has no chance of becoming Hokage.
When the second generation Hokage was deciding on his successor, he lost to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Later, during the reign of the Fourth Hokage, Danzo Shimura was no match for Orochimaru's talent, but even Orochimaru lost to the new generation's Minato Namikaze.
Now, when the Third Hokage had to step down again because of Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha Village, Danzo Shimura was not even considered a candidate.
It's also sad, ridiculous and pitiful!
...
The choice of the fifth Hokage was also within Klee's expectations.
Although Hatake Kakashi is also very famous, he is too young. Above him are Jiraiya and Tsunade. With the two of them around, it will not be Kakashi's turn to be the fifth Hokage.
...
Sakura did not participate in Gaara's incident. She was in the hospital taking care of the injured.
For the first time, Sakura saw so many wounded people and wanted to learn medical ninjutsu.
Because there are too many wounded, there is a serious shortage of medical ninjas.
Sakura, Ino, Tenten and other female ninjas from Konoha Village all joined the nurses' team and helped with some small tasks.
“It was very uncomfortable to see so many injured people.”
At night, after finishing her work, Ino rubbed her sore arms and neck and sighed.
Some of the wounded had broken arms and legs, looking very pitiful. Because there were not enough medical ninjas, they could not get timely help and could only be simply bandaged and wailed in pain.
It makes people feel pity after hearing it.
Sakura also sighed. "We are lucky that no one was injured in this disaster!"
"It might have something to do with Klee!" Tenten explained. "Klee protected us during the Chunin Exam."
"Yes!"
Sakura missed him very much and said, "Actually, I've wanted to find Klee for a long time, if there weren't so many injured people..."
"I heard from Sasuke and Naruto that Klee is fine. Sakura, you don't have to worry too much."
...
At night, Sakura did not go home directly. She went to Kurama Yakumo's residence.
Kelly is here indeed.
"Kelly..."
It seems that Klee is intact and in good spirits.
Of course it was good. She turned into [Zaoyou] and stole more than 1 million taels of silver, making a lot of money.
