章節 177: Danzo Threaten
At first.
When the Uchiha clan fled Konoha, countless people cheered, thinking that the cancer was finally driven away and life would get better from now on.
Who would have thought that in less than a month, the ninja coalition would invade the Land of Fire and reach Konoha's doorstep.
Everyone in Konoha was stunned.
after this.
Due to dissatisfaction with the village's senior leadership and pessimism about the war situation, many defections have occurred in Konoha recently.
Seeing that morale is getting lower and lower.
The top management of Konoha decided to hold a mobilization meeting, calling on all Konoha ninjas to live and die with the village and fight to the last soldier.
"Wherever the wooden leaves are flying, the fire is endless..."
On the rooftop, the Sandaime was talking about his will of fire again, giving an emotional speech.
Unfortunately, there were only a few people who responded, and the results were not very good.
After all, no one has forgotten it.
The last time, after the Sandaime made such a speech, Konoha's three thousand army went to the Land of Rain, and the entire army was quickly wiped out.
Sarutobi Hiruzen.
This Hokage, who was once respected and trusted by everyone in Konoha, now makes frequent mistakes and has already exhausted his prestige in the village.
at this time.
Behind the crowd, there was a sudden commotion.
"Hm?"
On the rooftop, the Sandaime, Jiraiya and others looked around, and their pupils shrank because they saw an unexpected figure.
Danzo.
After being missing for more than half a month, Konoha's former Hokage Assistant finally showed up again on this occasion.
Under everyone's gaze.
He leaned on crutches and walked calmly through the crowd and walked to the Hokage Building.
"How dare this old guy show up?"
"If he hadn't taken away Shisui's eyes, the Uchiha clan would not have left the village. If the Uchiha had not left, the major ninja villages would not have declared war on Konoha..."
"Don't forget, Danzo also tried to use Shisui's Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. As a result, the Nine-Tails went berserk and almost destroyed Konoha."
"Danzo is definitely the culprit for the village becoming what it is today!"
The Konoha ninjas were filled with indignation and glared at Danzo one after another. If looks could kill, he would have been cut to pieces by a thousand cuts.
Whoosh.
Several Anbu ninjas appeared, surrounded Danzo without saying a word, and drew their ninja swords.
As long as the Sandaime gives the order, they will capture Danzo and even kill him on the spot.
"Danzo, you still have the nerve to show up?"
The Sandaime looked down at Danzo, shouted sternly, and raised his hand to order the Anbu to take action.
No one thought anything of it.
Danzo raised his head and looked at the Sandaime and others, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly said:
"I want to be Hokage! Only I can save the current Konoha!"
As soon as this was said, the surrounding area was quiet, and everyone had a surprised expression on their face.
Danzo is... crazy?
This old guy, even if he doesn't plead guilty, still boasts that he wants to be Hokage, saying that only he can save Konoha.
It's simply a fool's errand.
However, just when everyone in Konoha was about to mock Danzo mercilessly.
"Hmph."
Danzo snorted coldly and struck hard with the cane in his hand.
The next second.
Boom! boom! boom!
On the west side of the Hokage Building, a series of explosions suddenly occurred in a building complex, and flames and thick smoke rose into the sky.
That's... the homeland of the Sarutobi clan.
In an instant.
A large number of mansions of the Sarutobi clan were destroyed by explosions. The ninjas in the clan were either killed on the spot or devoured by flames, and some were buried under the rubble.
There were heavy casualties for a while.
"Danzo, you!"
When the Sandaime saw this scene, he was extremely shocked and furious. He jumped off the rooftop with a whoosh and ran towards Danzo with murderous intent.
Danzo didn't panic at all, he just sneered:
"This is a warning, Hiruzen. If you come one step closer, I will blow up all of Konoha."
Explode Konoha.
After these words came out of Danzo's mouth, the Sandaime was suddenly shocked and stopped abruptly.
"Danzo, stop being scaremonger here!"
Jiraiya, Koharu and Homura also jumped down from the rooftop and yelled at Danzo.
"Oh? It seems you don't believe it."
Danzo replied calmly, picked up the crutch again, and knocked on the ground with a "thump" sound.
Boom!
The Konoha News Building not far away immediately exploded violently, and collapsed suddenly under everyone's horrified eyes.
"You, how did you do it?"
The Sandaime was shocked and his voice trembled.
Danzo looked around, satisfied with the frightened expressions on everyone's faces, and then said slowly:
"There is a guy named Genno, who is a Jonin of Kagero Village in the Kingdom of Mountains. His son died at the hands of Konoha ninjas many years ago.
In order to avenge his son, he sneaked into Konoha as a carpenter and stole the blueprints of important facilities in the village from the home of the foreman of Konoha Village.
Genno hid it from everyone's sight. There were detonating symbols buried inside the village's buildings and underground. Once detonated, the entire Konoha could be reduced to ruins.
Now that Genno is dead, I have taken over all he left behind.
Hiruzen, what else don't you understand? "
When Danzo finished saying these words, the Sandaime's face turned ashen.
The surrounding Konoha ninjas were even more frightened and fell into a commotion.
Byakugan, open!
A group of Hyuga ninjas, headed by Hyuga Hiashi, aimed their Byakugan at the surrounding buildings. Sure enough, they found detonating symbols and detonating mechanisms inside the building.
"Lord Hokage."
Jiraiya winked at the Sandaime.
The Sandaime immediately understood his apprentice's intention, which was for him to make an immediate decision and capture Danzo. Then let the Hyuga clan dismantle all the detonating symbols and mechanisms in the village.
But Danzo could see through their thoughts at a glance.
"Hiruzen, are you going to treat the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Konoha as child's play?"
Danzo stared at the Sandaime with stern eyes, questioned the latter, and said confidently, "Do you think these detonating talismans are all?
Even if you dismantle every detonating talisman, I can still destroy the entire Konoha.
If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. "
When the Sandaime and others heard this, they looked at each other and no longer dared to act rashly.
After ten seconds of silence.
"Danzo, why on earth did you do this?" The Sandaime asked sadly, looking at his lifelong friend.
"Hiruzen, I think I've made that clear."
Danzo shook his head, feeling quite disappointed that the Sandaime could not understand him.
Then, in front of everyone, he slowly made a confession:
"Since the day I became a Konoha ninja, everything I have done has been for the village. Over the years, there has never been a person who has devoted all his energy and deeds to Konoha like this old man.
Now, the village is facing life and death. In order to prevent Konoha from being destroyed in the hands of people like you, I must become Hokage.
Because.
Only I, Danzo Shimura, am the savior of Konoha. Only I can save this village! "
Danzo became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end, he almost roared.
On that day.
The Mangekyo illusion Dan has – Devil's Mischief, was implanted with an almost real hallucination.
In that fantasy world, Danzo saw himself overthrowing the Third Generation and finally realizing his dream of many years and becoming the Fifth Hokage.
He also saw that he led Konoha to fight the world, and finally unified the five major countries and became the master of the ninja world.
He will become the greatest Hokage in history, bring eternal peace to the ninja world, and leave his mark in history for generations to come!
Danzo firmly believes that he is the destined one.
"Danzo, you are crazy."
The Sandaime looked at his bewildered friend before him and shook his head firmly, "No matter how you threaten, I will never let you become the Fifth Hokage."
When Danzo heard this, he suddenly laughed, and the laughter got louder and louder, and finally roared:
"If that's the case, then there is no need for Konoha to exist. Let's destroy it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the crutch with both hands and wanted to stab it hard into the ground.
not good.
Seeing this scene, everyone was frightened to death and their faces were ashen.
At this critical moment.
"Stop!"
The daimyo hurriedly walked out of the Hokage building with a group of ministers and shouted at Danzo.
Panting, he walked between the two parties and yelled angrily:
"Stop fighting among us! It's a time like this. You guys are still fighting among yourself. Are you planning to piss me off to death?"
When the Sandaime heard this, his expression changed and he quickly explained:
"Lord Daimyo, Danzo made unreasonable demands and wanted to become Hokage. Not only me, but hundreds of thousands of people in Konoha cannot agree to his conditions."
The daimyo widened his eyes and asked in disbelief:
"So, you would rather see Danzo detonate the exploding talisman in the village, turning the entire Konoha into ruins, and everyone being buried with him?
In the end, is the so-called position of Hokage more important, or the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire village of Konoha? "
In the eyes of the daimyo.
Danzo came to negotiate, but the Sandaime kept irritating the other party with a tough attitude, forcing Danzo to die with Konoha.
Compared to Danzo, the Sandaime seemed to be crazy. He actually regarded the position of Hokage as more important than anything else.
"The daimyo can still see clearly."
Danzo gently put down his crutch and said to the Fire Country Daimyo, "I never thought about destroying Konoha. What I did just now was just to test Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Facts have proved that in order not to be snatched away from his position as Hokage, he did not hesitate to ignore the safety of the entire Konoha, and even the lives of all Konoha villagers.
What qualifications does such a person have to be the Hokage of Konoha? "
These words were spoken loudly, so that everyone around could hear them clearly.
For a time, countless eyes fell on the Sandaime, questioning, angry, disappointed... people's tolerance for this Hokage has reached its limit.
The third generation's face couldn't help but become very ugly. He stared at Danzo and said in a deep voice:
"Danzo, you are wrong.
I have never missed the position of Hokage. It is for Konoha that I have to stick to this position.
As long as the daimyo and the villagers of Konoha have a suitable candidate in mind, I am willing to abdicate on the spot and leave the future of Konoha in the hands of that person.
But I am very sure that that person will not be you. "
Unexpectedly.
As soon as the Sandaime finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by the daimyo.
"Danzo, do you really have a way to lead Konoha to win this ninja war?" The daimyo stared at Danzo and asked this question.
To this, Danzo replied without hesitation:
"Of course! As long as I become Hokage, all the problems facing Konoha will be solved."
He was full of infinite confidence in himself.
The daimyo's eyes flickered, he thought for a while, and finally made a final decision:
"Okay, from now on, I appoint you as the Fifth Hokage of Konoha! I hope you will not disappoint me, Konoha, and the entire people of the Fire Country!"
In the eyes of the daimyo.
The Sandaime and other high-level officials of Konoha couldn't find any way to turn the tide. In this case, it is better to see what Danzo is capable of.
Moreover.
Danzo has mastered the mechanism left by Genno and can detonate the entire Konoha at any time. The lives of everyone present are in his hands.
In this situation.
What choice does the daimyo have?
Not only the daimyo, but everyone in Konoha present also realized this.
If Danzo is not allowed to be the Hokage, everyone will be killed soon. Only the strongest people will survive -
That is, the Sandaime and Jiraiya and other high-level officials.
And the rest of Konoha, in order to survive, may have no choice but to agree to Danzo's conditions.
For that glimmer of hope.
"My lord, you must not do this!"
The Sandaime could not accept it and refuted the daimyo's appointment on the spot.
However, what responded to him was the cold look in his eyes.
"All Jonin in Konoha, come out!" Following the daimyo's order, the Jounin in the village walked out of the crowd one after another.
The daimyo looked around and said:
"I have decided to appoint Danzo as the Fifth Hokage of Konoha and will now hold a vote of confidence for the Jonin."
The appointment of Konoha's Hokage must go through three processes.
High-level nominations, daimyo appointments, and the final jounin vote of confidence.
The previous candidate, Jiraiya, successfully passed the first two processes, but fell at the third step.
And Danzo.
He was indeed nominated by the former Hokage Assistant Uchiha Dan, and it complied with the procedures. Now that he has been personally appointed by the daimyo, only the final jounin vote of confidence remains.
The daimyo's voice fell.
Swish, swish, swish.
The jounin of the four major families of Yamanaka, Akimichi, Nara and Hyuga all raised their hands in agreement.
Their hatred for the Sandaime exceeded their hatred for Danzo.
If they had to choose one of the two to be Hokage, they would rather choose the true villain Danzo than the hypocrite Sandaime.
Led by the four major families, other Konoha jounin also raised their hands one after another.
The jounin of the Inuzuka, Aburame and other families, as well as some civilian jounin such as Might Guy, all chose to abstain.
But.
The number of votes supporting Danzo has exceeded half.
At this point, Danzo has successfully completed the entire process of Hokage appointment. From this moment on, he officially became the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village!
Thump thump thump.
The Sandaime seemed to have all the strength drained from his body. He took several steps back and almost lost his center of gravity and fell.
Fortunately, Jiraiya helped him in time.
From now on, he will never be able to shout "I am the Hokage" to Danzo.
Danzo's eyes flashed, he walked up to the Sandaime and declared with a victor's attitude:
"Hiruzen, I told you a long time ago that you will regret it."
