Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Tobirama Senju nodded slightly and said softly, "Teach your disciples well; they are the future hope of the village."

Each generation needs to be nurtured well so that the village can become stronger and stronger.

This is especially crucial for the education of the new generation!

Young talent is one of the key factors in whether a village can develop.

"Understood, Uncle." Lian Ye nodded.

Even without this old rascal's reminder, he would still be able to educate his disciples well.

After all, all three of them are problem children. If they are not properly educated now, they will suffer in the future.

He might even be killed by his own disciple.

After Tobirama Senju finished lunch, Renya began clearing away the dishes and then left the Hokage's office.

He hasn't eaten yet.

I wonder if the three disciples left anything for me.

Fortunately, the three of them weren't ungrateful; they knew to leave him some leftovers and didn't finish everything.

This made him very gratified that the teacher was still thinking of him.

Yes, all this time spent raising them wasn't in vain!

After the meal, Renya began to instruct the three on chakra control training.

In the following days, Lianye set aside some time each day to give the three of them special training.

All three are highly capable learners and are very diligent and hardworking.

In just a few months, their strength has increased significantly.

Now the three of them can leave the village alone to carry out C-level missions, and there's no need to worry about them encountering danger anymore.

Lianye was finally able to become a hands-off manager and enjoy a leisurely life.

His disciple is too outstanding; he doesn't need to worry about him.

……

Five years passed in this way, and that old bastard Tobirama Senju finally retired.

He passed the position of Hokage to Danzo, who was then the Hokage's assistant, while Hiruzen became the new Hokage's assistant, responsible for assisting Danzo in governing the village.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye, and Lianye was twenty-six years old that year.

The Tobirama Senju residence.

"Renya, I'm becoming Hokage tomorrow, you absolutely have to be there!" Danzo looked at Renya, who was lying on the recliner, with a rosy complexion.

My long-held dream will come true tomorrow!

For decades, he made countless efforts to become Hokage; only he knows the hardships and pain he endured...

Now my wish has finally come true!

He wanted to show off to everyone he knew, so the first person he approached was Lian Ye, who had been slacking off at home for a long time.

Everyone else went out on missions, but Lian Ye was still lying at home.

"I know." Lian Ye waved her hand casually. "You're such a grown-up, yet you still act like a child."

Danzo looked like a child showing off his award to his parents.

Danzo: "..."

He was initially happy, but now he can't be happy anymore.

That guy, Lianye, is such a spoilsport!

Hmph, once he becomes Hokage, this guy won't have the leisurely life he has now.

To be honest, Danzo had long been unhappy with Renya's passive attitude.

He made some changes when he was teaching his disciples, but after they grew up, he went back to his old ways of giving up.

Danzo was extremely unhappy about this, but there was nothing he could do about it...

"Remember to come tomorrow," Danzo said.

He wanted his friend to witness the momentous occasion of him becoming Hokage.

“No problem, I’ll be there on time tomorrow.” Lian Ye nodded.

Seeing this, Danzo turned to leave. He had just reached the door when Renya's voice came from behind him—

"Danzo, congratulations on becoming Hokage."

Danzo smiled slightly, made no response, and left the courtyard without saying a word.

As Renya watched Danzo's departing figure, she couldn't help but sigh:

"Time flies, Danzo has already become Hokage."

Chapter 339 Everything, for Konoha!

Konoha Village, Central Plaza.

In the central square of the village, almost all the civilians and ninjas of Konoha had gathered.

Today marks the day the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, announced his retirement, and also the day of the Third Hokage's succession ceremony.

On the high platform, Tobirama Senju stood proudly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below.

Behind him stood Renya, Danzo, Koharu Utatane, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kagami Uchiha, and Homura Mitokado.

"Congratulations, Danzo!"

"Don't forget your former comrades when you become Hokage!"

Danzo gradually lost himself in the flattery of his companions, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

Is this what power feels like?

It's so fascinating!

The crowd whispered among themselves, their eyes mostly fixed on Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura.

They had long heard that the two were the Hokage's chosen successors, but they didn't know exactly who they were.

"Damn it, we Uchiha are out of luck for the Hokage position again!" A hawkish Uchiha Jonin clenched his fist in resentment, a flash of crimson light appearing in his eyes.

Damn it, Tobirama Senju, why didn't he pass the Hokage position to Kagami Uchiha?

Although Uchiha Kagami suffered cold looks and exclusion within his clan, once he became Hokage, no one dared to treat him that way anymore.

It seems that Tobirama Senju never even considered the Uchiha clan!

At this moment, the Uchiha clan members felt somewhat unbalanced, as it was a village founded by their former clan leader, Madara Uchiha, and Hashirama Senju.

However, none of the three consecutive Hokage were from the Uchiha clan!

This fueled growing discontent within the Uchiha clan, leading to a rise in hawkish members, with nearly a third of the Jonin being hawkish.

The current clan leader, Uchiha Tanaka, looked at his enraged clansmen and sighed helplessly.

His gaze fell on Lian Ye on the high platform, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

If only that guy hadn't been kicked out of the family back then...

Perhaps, the Uchiha clan will produce a Hokage.

The hawkish faction within the clan is now growing, and sometimes even he, as the clan leader, is powerless to deal with it.

One day, the Uchiha will rebel!

This situation is now unavoidable unless a powerful clan leader like Madara Uchiha emerges to keep the hawks in check.

It wasn't that he hadn't considered rebellion, but he realized that his family was no match for the village.

If a real fight breaks out, the Uchiha clan might be wiped out!

As Tobirama Senju raised his hand, the plaza fell silent instantly.

This is the influence of the Second Hokage!

Danzo's eyes shone with admiration upon seeing this, and he vowed to be respected by everyone like his teacher in the future!

"Gentlemen, I have served as Hokage for decades and am well past the age of retirement." Tobirama Senju removed the straw hat that symbolized the highest authority in Konoha, the character "fire" on it particularly eye-catching.

"At such a moment, Konoha needs a leader who not only possesses great strength, but also a spirit of fearless sacrifice, a calm tactical mind, and... an unwavering loyalty that is willing to bear all the infamy and darkness for the sake of the village!"

"Therefore, I have decided," Tobirama Senju's voice echoed in everyone's ears, "that Danzo Shimura shall inherit my will and become the Third Hokage of Konoha!"

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Shimura Danzo, Shimura Danzo, Shimura Danzo!"

Without a doubt, these were all shills that Lian Ye had hired in advance.

Once the dog tout spoke, everyone else was swayed.

The people in the entire square were chanting the name of the Third Hokage, Danzo Shimura.

Amidst shouts, Tobirama Senju personally placed the straw hat, a symbol of power, on Danzo Shimura's head.

"Danzo, from today onwards, you are the Hokage."

"Teacher, I will never let you down!" Danzo's eyes were red.

The moment the straw hat was put on, Danzo felt an unprecedented weight and responsibility pressing down on his heart, almost making it hard for him to breathe.

He had been waiting for this day for countless years, only knowing that he had dreamed of becoming Hokage for countless days and nights.

Now my long-held dream has finally come true!

How could I not be excited?

Danzo raised his hand, just like his teacher, and the crowd below quickly quieted down.

He looked down at the silent crowd below, and he appeared to be trembling slightly.

It wasn't fear, it was excitement!

"From this day forward, I, Danzo Shimura, will lead the village onto an even stronger path!"

I forgot the beginning and the end.

all in all--

"Everything, for Konoha!"

After a brief silence, thunderous applause erupted in the square.

"The Third Hokage! The Third Hokage! The Third Hokage!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his friend, his eyes flashing with a complex light.

Danzo became Hokage before him.

As Renya gazed at Danzo, bathed in sunlight and cheers, her heart was filled with boundless fighting spirit and ideals.

Unlike the character in the original work who claims to be doing it for the village but is actually only doing it for his own sake—

The Leaf Village's King of the Pot is a selfish and ruthless man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals!

I hope Danzo can become an excellent Hokage.

Hokage's office.

Tobirama Senju has already returned, leaving only Renya and the others.

Danzo sat in his office chair, gently stroking the armrest.

"Danzo, congratulations on becoming Hokage!" Uchiha Kagami smiled.

He had a good relationship with Danzo, which could help Danzo reduce the Anbu's surveillance of the Uchiha clan.

If you didn't dare tell Tobirama-sensei before, you can tell Danzo later...

"Danzo, you and Hiruzen both have positions in the village, aren't you going to arrange some work for us?" Koharu Utatane hadn't forgotten Renya's reminder.

“Yes, Hokage-sama,” Mitokado Homura chimed in, “We also want to experience what it’s like to have power.”
