Chapter 553 Grown Up, Not Cute Anymore

"Danzo sees the opportunity, and will not let it go easily." Hiruzaru Sarutobi was startled for a moment when he heard the words, then sighed with emotion, narrowed his eyes slightly, seemed to recall something, shook his head helplessly and said: "That guy I am still worried about the fact that I missed the position of Hokage, and I have always thought that if there was no hesitation at that time, Master Nidaimu might have chosen him to inherit the position of Hokage."

"Hehe." Tsunade sneered when he heard the words, "Uncle, for the sake of the development of Konoha Village, disbanded the thriving Senshou Clan, just to save Konoha Village from being targeted by other ninja villages and gain a period of peaceful development. And If a radical person like Danzo who only inherited the dark ideas of his uncle and grandfather inherits the Hokage position at the helm of Konoha Village, then I am afraid that in the early days of the outbreak of the Ninja World War, Konoha Village will be shocked by the rebound of other villages The score fell apart."

"Hey, Tsunade, you can see things clearly, but Danzo is trapped by obsession." Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled bitterly, and subconsciously picked up the pipe, but because Tsunade was there, he put it down anyway, and said: "Now The situation in the Ninja World is not much better than it was at the beginning. Although all parties suffered heavy losses in the third ninja world war, it will definitely be difficult to start a war again. Among them, careerists have never been a rare existence."

"So Danzo's ambition can never be realized!" Tsunade's tone was firm, but then he changed the subject and said: "But in the matter of the son of the fourth generation, after all, it is the teacher who is at fault. You thought about protecting the child, but forgot Danzo may take advantage of it.”

"Yes!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi laughed at himself, then raised his eyes to look at Tsunade, and said with a slightly serious expression: "Tsunate, how did Danzo know about this, do you know?"

Tsunade was silent for a while, then nodded sadly and said, "It's Natsuki, he told me."

"Natsuki is an outstanding young man, but it's a pity that he is Danzo's subordinate." Hiruzaru Sarutobi said meaningfully.

If it is an ordinary ninja, it is not difficult to take the opportunity to forcibly recruit from Danzo, but the strength shown by Matsuzaki Natsuki at the end of the Third Ninja World War has surpassed the level of Jonin. In the position of Danzo, it is absolutely impossible to let go easily.

"As long as this Danzo competition fails, there will naturally be an excuse to call Natsuki out of the roots." Tsunade's eyes flickered, and he didn't stop at this topic, and continued: "However, teacher, even if you beat Danzo in the competition , It may be extremely difficult to reverse the rumors in the village."

"This is also something I worry about." Hiruzaru Sarutobi rubbed his pipe, suddenly realized something, and immediately looked at Tsunade, "You came here for this matter?"

"Hmm." Tsunade's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, he said word by word: "I have decided to become the Fifth Hokage!"

"Become Hokage?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi was stunned for a moment, then nodded after pondering: "This is indeed a good way to solve the current situation, so even if Danzo is unwilling, nothing will happen. It's just... Tsunade, why did you suddenly have such an idea? You used to hate the position of Hokage, didn’t you?”

"I just can't watch the village my grandfather built turn into a mess." Tsunade pouted.

"I'm very relieved to see that you can pull yourself together. It's just your fear of blood... If you really can't do it, don't force it too much. Although Zilai is used to laxity, at this critical moment, he will not sit idly by. Ignore it." Hiruzaru Sarutobi persuaded Tsunade.

"Minato died in the battle, and I'm afraid Jiraiya has no intention to cooperate with you. In addition, my blood phobia has actually improved a lot now." Tsunade sighed deeply, "As a descendant of the Senju clan, even if I have abandoned it now I won the title of Thousand Hands, but for Muye Village, after all, I have the responsibility that must be provoked."

"Wait! Tsunade, you mean...your blood phobia has improved?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi said excitedly in surprise.

Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya are three disciples who have always made him feel sorry and lost. The most beloved disciple has the greatest conflict of ideas, and the most important disciple has suffered setbacks. .

And at this moment, he suddenly heard that the blood phobia that troubled Tsunade had improved, and he was very happy, especially at this time.

"That's really great!" Hiruza Sarutobi suppressed his emotions and said with a smile: "You have the reputation of a thousand hands, and you are the founder of medical ninja. It's getting better, strength is no longer a problem, even if I lose in the competition with Danzo, you can turn the situation around."

"Competition failed?" Tsunade raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully when he heard this, "Old man, I am not an ignorant little girl, don't use such words to deceive me in the future."

The struggle for power does not depend on who is ruthless enough, and Shimura Danzo can be said to know nothing about this aspect.

"Haha!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't feel embarrassed, but laughed happily, stroked the beard on his chin and said with emotion: "The three of you have grown up before you know it, um, you are not as cute as when you were young."

"Cut!" Tsunade pouted speechlessly.

"I have sent a secret letter to the daimyo-sama, and the matter of my reset has basically been settled, if Danzo doesn't make any drastic moves." Hiruzaru Sarutobi returned to the topic, with a kind of expectation in his tone, Hope things don't develop as he thought.

"You don't expect too much from that gloomy old guy." Tsunade shook his head and comforted him, "Natsuki told me that Danzo specifically told him to reject Anbu's recruitment, so something will happen next. But , I will let Xia Shu keep an eye on it, and once there is any news, he will immediately pass it on to me through the slug."

"Hmm." Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded and said, "Then, Tsunade, let's start preparing to take over as Hokage."

When the third ninja world war ended, not only other ninja villages suffered heavy losses, but Konoha Village, which was set on fire by the four countries, also lost a large number of ninjas. Under various pressures including Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi abdicated, Supporting Namikaze Minato became the fourth generation of Hokage.

The situation is the same now as it was then. The rumors spread by Danzo in the village have damaged his reputation. Even if he succeeds in succeeding Hokage, the only way to appease the emotions of the people in the village is to abdicate and let the virtuous.

He was not dissatisfied with this, it just brought Konoha Village back to the situation where Namikaze Minato was there before.

In fact, from a certain point of view, he is the same person as Danzo. Danzo can do all kinds of vicious things for Muye Village, but he can do all kinds of bad things for the stability of Muye Village. A fundamental compromise.
