Chapter 164: Jiraiya's Victory
"If I'm not mistaken, Advisor Danzo has been wanting to be the Hokage since decades ago." Jiraiya slanted at Tuan Zang, with a hint of a smile in his tone: "Now that the old man is dead, didn't he just leave a vacant seat for Tuan Zang's advisors." ”
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, in my opinion, there is no need to find any more Tsunades, it is better for the Tuan Zang Advisor to succeed the position of the fifth Hokage, I believe that under the leadership of the Tuan Zang Advisor, no, it is the Fifth Hokage, under the leadership of His Excellency Tuan Zang, our Konoha Village will definitely develop better, and it will be just a piece of cake to sweep away the current crisis." Zilai also said, and gave a thumbs up to Tuan Zang, but his action was full of mockery in Tuan Zang's eyes.
"Tuan ......" Jiraiya wanted to continue to say something, but was rudely interrupted by Tuan Zang, he looked at the yin and yang weird Jiraiya, and roared angrily: "Enough! Say no more. ”
Danzang pointed his finger at Jiraiya, his whole body trembled, and even his lips trembled with anger, and the other party's words were like roasting him on the fire.
"What's wrong?" Jiraiya looked surprised, and looked at Tuan Zang playfully: "Did I say something wrong?" ”
"Could it be that Danzo wants to say that you don't want to be the Hokage?"
Without thinking, Danzou almost blurted out: Of course I don't want to be the Hokage.
But just when he was about to speak, he suddenly woke up and said that the three people present knew very well about his little thoughts, and it could be said that they all knew very well, after the death of Bo Feng Shuimen, he was the first to jump out, jumping up and down to become the purpose of the five generations, and now if he said so, it would be like a thief who had stolen goods and said that he didn't want to steal in front of the police, and it was useless except to make the other party even more despised.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Tuan Zang changed his way of saying it.
"The old man admits that I did have the idea of competing for the Hokage before." Tuan Zang first said slowly, then changed his words and sighed deliberately, "It's just that the old man is almost seventy years old now, and his energy has been greatly reduced, so he has no such thoughts for a long time." ”
"The position of the Hokage, let you or Tsunade take it."
Of course, Danzou wanted to be Hokage in his dreams, but he wasn't stupid, he knew very well how much of his disadvantage was.
The election of the Hokage is divided into three steps, the first step is a high-level meeting, which is actually the discussion of the three of their advisers, plus the Hokage of Sarutobi Hiza, and the second step is to inform the Daimyo of the Fire Country of the results of the decision of the four of them, to see if the other party agrees.
Of course, this step is actually just a matter of taking the situation, although Konoha nominally belongs to the Land of Fire, and the Hokage is also one level lower than the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and is the courtier of the other party, but in fact, the two sides are only in a cooperative relationship, even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is not qualified to have any orders to Konoha, which has also been negotiated with the other party since the establishment of the village in Konoha.
The third step is the final upper ninja vote, and all the upper ninjas in Konoha vote for it, this step is also very crucial, theoretically, if the new Hokage is opposed by a large number of upper ninjas, then he can only abdicate.
Of course, this is only theoretical, after all, the ninjas who can be shortlisted for the Hokage candidates are normally the best people in Konoha, and the ones who can stand out and become the Hokage in the end are even better, and they will not be boycotted on a large scale for no reason.
But Danzou is different, if he is twenty years younger, there may be a slight possibility of succession, but now, unless Tsunade and Jirai are also dead, otherwise even if he relies on his influence on Mito Menyan and Koharu to force the first step, he will not be able to convince the public, and will be intimidated by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and can only abdicate in disgrace.
Although the Daimyo of the Fire Country does not have direct control, after all, he is Konoha's money bag, and he is still the nominal boss, and he is still very influential, otherwise Konoha would not have specially sent Shinobu to protect his safety.
"Yes, Jiraiya, Tuanzang is right, the three of us are already old, and the five generations of Hokage still have to be inherited by Tsunade, and the three of us just need to assist Tsunade with peace of mind, so you better hurry up and set off to bring Tsunade back." After Tuan Zang finished speaking, Mito Menyan also hurriedly said.
But what makes the three of them helpless is that no matter how much they know how to be affectionate and reasonable, their mouths will be broken, and they still look like they don't eat oil and salt, and they always refuse to set off to find Tsunade.
Seeing this situation, the three of them were not stupid, and they all understood that Jiraiya was using a way to retreat into advance, in retaliation for their refusal of his request just now.
In desperation, the three of them got up, left Jiraiya alone, and walked to another room connected to the Hokage's office, and Jiraiya watched them leave without the slightest intention of stopping them.
After walking in, Tuan Zang took the lead and said angrily: "Damn, this guy from Jiraiya dares to threaten us in this way, it's just too lawless." ”
"However, looking at his appearance, if you don't agree to his request, you won't leave anyway." Mito Menitis said with a frown.
Tuan Zang said angrily: "Even so, we must not agree to his request, it's a big deal, it's a big deal that we send someone to find Tsunade ourselves." ”
"Konoha was established by her grandfather, and Tsunade, as the granddaughter of Lord Tsuruma, will definitely come back to succeed the Hokage and protect Konoha."
Hearing Danzo's words, Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu didn't say anything on the surface, but they were very disapprehensive in their hearts.
The two of them knew that Tsunade had always hated the three of them, and even Jiraiya, the companion with the best relationship with Tsunade, was not completely sure that he would be able to invite Tsunade back, let alone replace him.
And if Tsunade really did what he said, he wouldn't have left Konoha before the Third Ninja World War was over.
"Actually, Jiraiya's request is nothing." After being silent for a while, Koharu said hesitantly, "Staying with Jiraiya may be the best protection for Naruto." ”
"If even Jilai can't protect Naruto's safety, then even if he stays in Konoha, it won't be much safer, after all, we can't use all our strength to protect Naruto."
"So you mean to compromise with him, don't you?" Although Zhuan Xiaochun said it very tactfully, Tuan Zang still heard what she meant at once.
"I'm also thinking about the village, Konoha can't continue to be leaderless like this." Zhuan Xiaochun argued, and after speaking, she also looked at Mito Menyan, "I think Menyan thinks the same way." ”
Under Danzo's gaze, Mito Menyan also nodded.
"You, you two." Tuan Zang said angrily.
"Danzo, I understand your feelings, but now it's the most important thing to have a new Hokage succeed you." Mito Menyan persuaded, "Moreover, what Jiraiya said also makes sense, and in order to get Tsunade to agree to come back, it is actually nothing to agree to his request." ”
Danzo did a lot of calculations, but he missed one point, that is, one thing is two-sided, although he used the indecisive personalities of Koharu and Mito Menyan to make them give up supporting Jiraiya, but Jiraiya can also use this to target him in turn.
So, under the soft threat of Jiraiya, the two changed their attitudes again.
"Anyway, there's no way I'm going to agree to that guy Jiraiya's request!" Danzo roared angrily and left the room directly.
Seeing Tuan Zang slamming the door and leaving, the remaining two looked at each other helplessly.
Zhuan Xiaochun said: "It seems that it is really difficult for Tuan Zang to accept this." ”
"Ugh." Mito Menyan sighed, "There's no way, I can only wronged him, I'm sure Tuanzang will understand, after all, we did it for Konoha." ”
