Chapter 256 Hiruzen: What Does Tsunade's Becoming a Candidate for Hokage Have to Do with You?

Taking the initiative to fight for it will make the Third Hokage feel threatened, but it will be different if he takes the initiative. At that time, Konoha will face two situations.

Either the Third Hokage died, or the Third Hokage let everyone down and had to give way.

At this time, it makes sense for Tsunade to become Hokage.

After listening to Jingyi's words, Tsunade felt relieved.

"You and the old man really didn't discuss such an important matter with me. It scared me to death. By the way, how about having barbecue later?"

After relaxing, Tsunade felt very tired and exhausted, and might fall asleep at any time.

These days, she is almost going crazy working overtime.

"Are you treating me to a treat?"

Jingyi asked.

"Aha..."

Tsunade responded with a series of yawns.

Jingyi: "......"

I knew that Tsunade was in trouble if she wanted to eat barbecue but didn't want to spend money.

Forget it, seeing as how tired you are of looking for me, I'll treat you to a barbecue.

The news that Tsunade became the Hokage candidate quickly spread throughout Konoha, and spread towards the Fire Country with Konoha as the center, and then spread to other countries and villages step by step.

No one in the ninja world was surprised by Konoha's announcement.

As the Third Hokage said, Tsunade is enough to become Hokage in terms of strength, identity, status, and prestige, and is the least competitive one.

Even if other people have dreams of being Hokage, they can only regretfully give up when they meet Tsunade, a competitor.

Cooperation was achieved.

The Third Hokage came to the prison and met Shimura Danzo.

"I have reached a cooperation with Hinata Shizuichi. I will release you. They will not object or take the initiative to target you, but Tsunade has become the Hokage candidate."

As soon as they met, the Third Hokage told Shimura Danzo the heartbreaking news.

This news may not have a big impact on other people, but for Shimura Danzo, who dreams of becoming Hokage, it is no less than a bolt from the blue.

His Hokage dream seemed to be shattered.

With bursts of thunder in his mind, Shimura Danzo froze on the spot.

Not to mention that the Third Hokage is still in his prime, at least he will not give up the throne of Hokage in a short period of time. After he gives up the throne, Shimura Danzo will also be not young. Then Tsunade becomes Hokage, which means Shimura Danzo's Hokage The dream was completely shattered.

By the time Tsunade had to give up the Hokage throne, Shimura Danzo estimated that the grass on his grave had grown several meters high.

"bump!!!"

As expected by the Third Hokage, after being stunned for a while, Shimura Danzo, whose face turned red, angrily hit the fence of the cell, grabbed the fence with both hands, and roared at the Third Hokage: "Sarutobi! Why are you doing this?" Why do you want to agree to their unreasonable conditions?”

"Because I think Tsunade is suitable."

The Third Hokage replied calmly.

Shimura Danzo was defeated because if Tsunade was recognized as the next Hokage, he would have no hope of becoming Hokage.

Unless Tsunade died suddenly after the Third Hokage abdicated, he could have some hope.

However, the hope of Tsunade dying suddenly was somewhat slim.

"What about me? What about me!!"

Danzo Shimura felt like he was losing his mind and kept yelling.

The Third Hokage just watched him making trouble.

He even wanted to say to Shimura Danzo: "Danzo, you can't become Hokage, give up."

Considering that these words would irritate Shimura Danzo, the Third Hokage endured it.

He was afraid that Danzo Shimura wouldn't be able to stand the excitement and would eventually do something that would be unacceptable to everyone.

Because the Third Hokage knew Danzo Shimura and knew that this old friend would dare to do anything when pressed.

In the original time and space, Shimura Danzo once sent people to attack the Third Hokage, hoping to kill the Third Hokage who was going to Daming Mansion, but unfortunately his attack did not succeed.

"Duanzo, it seems that Tsunade's becoming a Hokage candidate has nothing to do with you."

The Third Hokage reminded him that this is not your concern.

It has nothing to do with you.

"..."

Shimura Danzo, who was so angry just now, suddenly stopped.

There is nothing wrong with what the Third Hokage said. Whether Tsunade was selected as a Hokage candidate really had nothing to do with Shimura Danzo, so his anger was puzzling.

"Sarutobi, you will regret it!!"

Shimura Danzo's hand grasped the fence so hard that the veins on the back of his hand popped out.

"Maybe."

The Third Hokage has heard this sentence for many years. Every time Danzo Shimura encounters something unsatisfactory, he will say this sentence.

The Third Hokage has long been accustomed to this.

"After you come out, don't bother Tsunade and Shizuichi anymore, and don't have any thoughts about Kushina anymore."

"snort."

Danzo Shimura who walked out of the cell snorted coldly:

"So, where will you arrange for me to work?"

What about my position?

"I will first appoint you as the captain of the Hokage Guards. As for the suitable position, I will arrange it for you when I have the opportunity."

At this time, it was really difficult for the Third Hokage to arrange positions for Shimura Danzo. Judging from Shimura Danzo's character, he would never take up some unimportant positions.

But important positions are occupied by others, so you can't just kick someone away.

Who can be kicked?

Shimura Danzo's appetite is not small, and the positions he wants are all in the high-level circle.

There are only so many positions in this circle, and it is difficult to make a vacancy.

There is no hope for the logistics department, and even less for the medical system department, otherwise Koharu Utane will explode.

The finance department cannot be handed over to anyone to manage, and can only be controlled in the hands. The same is true for the Anbu. Tsunade and Shizuichi will not allow others to enter the Anbu.

After all these, there is only one position that can satisfy Shimura Danzo, and that is the position of the leader of the jonin squad.

But the third Hokage did not dare to give this position to Shimura Danzo.

Judging from Shimura Danzo's ambition, once he sits in this position, God knows how much trouble he will cause.

You have to know that the power of the jonin squad leader is not small.

This position is real power.

Can directly and indirectly command many ninjas in Konoha.

So Shimura Danzo can only be wronged for the time being, and wait for an opportunity to transfer him to a suitable position in the future.

For example, assistant to the Hokage.

At present, the village's assistant to the Hokage is the fat man Akimichi Norifu, who doesn't care about anything. He has no power, and the assistant to the Hokage is just idle. Akimichi Norifu doesn't need to go to the Hokage office building to work, and can just stay at home all day to study food.

It's just that this position belongs to Tsunade's faction, and it's not easy to get it, at least you have to pay a certain price.

Even if it's an idle position without power, it's one of the few positions in the high-level circle, and it's impossible to give it up casually.
