Konoha’s Thief Hand

"Danzo saw the opportunity, and he wouldn't let it go easily." Sarutobi Hiruzen was taken aback when he heard the words, and then sighed, his eyes narrowed, seeming to remember something, and he shook his head reluctantly. The position of Hokage is stubborn, and it has always been thought that if there was no hesitation at the time, the Second Generation Master might choose him to inherit the position of Hokage."

"Hehe." Tsunade sneered when he heard the words, "Uncle grandfather disbanded the Senju clan in the sky for the development of Konoha Village, so that Konoha Village is free from being targeted by other Ninja villages and get a period of peaceful development. Just like Danzo did. Radical people who only inherited the dark ideas of their uncle, if they inherited the position of Hokage at the helm of Konoha Village, then I am afraid that Konoha Village will be disintegrated by the rebound of other villages in the early days of the Ninja War."

"Hey, Tsunade, you can see things clearly, but Danzo is trapped by obsession." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly, and subconsciously picked up the pipe, but because Tsunade was there, he put it down, and said, "The situation is now better than before. It’s not much better. Although all forces in the Third Ninja War have suffered heavy losses, it will be difficult to provoke a war again, and it is even impossible to break the situation in the Five Great Powers and Five Villages in the Ninja World. But in the Ninja World, careerists have always Not a rare existence."

"So Danzo's ambition will never come true!" Tsunade's tone was firm, but then he changed the conversation, and then said: "But in the case of the son of Fourth Generation, after all, the teacher is at fault. You are thinking about protecting the child, but you forgot Danzo's possibility. Will use the questions to play."

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

Tsunade was silent for a moment, and nodded sadly, "It's Xia Shu, he told me."

"Natsuki is an excellent young man, but unfortunately, he is Danzo's subordinate." Sarutobi Hiruzen said meaningfully.

If it is an ordinary ninja, it is not difficult to take the opportunity to forcibly recruit from Danzo, but the strength that Matsuzaki Natsuki showed at the end of the Third Ninja War has surpassed Jōnin's level, even if he was placed in Danzo. In the position, it is absolutely impossible to let go easily.

"As long as Danzo loses the competition this time, there is naturally an excuse to bring Natsuki out of the roots." Tsunade's eyes flickered, without stopping on the topic, and continued: "However, teacher, even if you beat Danzo in the competition, you want It would be extremely difficult to reverse the rumors in the village."

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

"Yeah." Tsunade looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a solemn expression like never before, and said every word: "I decided to become the Fifth Hokage!"

"Become a Hokage?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was taken aback for a moment, then pondered and nodded: "This is indeed a good way to crack the current situation, so even if Danzo is not reconciled, nothing will happen. It's just... Tsunade, ah, Why did you suddenly have this idea? You used to hate the position of Hokage, didn't you?"

"I just can't look at the village built by my grandfather. It's a mess." Tsunade curled his lips.

"I'm very pleased to see that you can cheer up. It's just your phobia... If it doesn't work, don't force it too much. Although Jiraiya is sloppy, he won't just sit idly by at this critical moment. Yes." Sarutobi Hiruzen persuaded Tsunade.

"Minato died in battle, I'm afraid Jiraiya didn't have the heart to cooperate with you. In addition, my phobia has actually improved a lot." Tsunade sighed deeply, "As a descendant of the Senju clan, even now I have abandoned Senju's name. No, but for Konoha Village, I finally have the responsibility that must be provoked."

"Wait! Tsunade, you mean... your phobia has improved?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with excitement in surprise.

The three disciples, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, have always made him feel sorry and disappointed. His favorite disciple has the greatest conflict of ideas, and the most important disciple has suffered setbacks and was destroyed by half, but it is the seemingly mediocre Jiraiya who has accumulated a lot of accumulation.

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

"That's great!" Sarutobi Hiruzen pressed his emotions, and said with a smile: "You have the reputation of Senju and the founder of the medical ninja. You have both reputation and popularity. Now the phobia has improved and your strength has improved. It’s no longer a problem either. Even if I failed in the competition with Danzo, you can turn the tide."

"The competition failed?" Tsunade raised his eyebrows disdainfully when he heard this. "Old man, I am not an ignorant little girl. Don't fool me with such words in the future."

The struggle for power does not depend on who is ruthless, and Shimura Danzō knows nothing about this.

"Haha!" Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he laughed in delight, stroking the beard of his chin and said with emotion: "Unknowingly, all three of you have grown up, well, you are not cute anymore."

"Cut!" Tsunade curled his lips silently.

"I have already sent a secret letter to my lord, and the things I reset are basically set. If Danzo doesn't make any extreme actions." Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to the subject, with a kind of expectation in his tone, expecting things to not happen. It developed to the point he had imagined.

"With that gloomy old guy, you still don't expect too much." Tsunade shook his head and comforted, "Natsuki told me that Danzo specifically told him to reject Anbu's call, so something must happen next. However, I Natsuki will stare at him, and as soon as there is any news, he will immediately pass it on to me through Katsuyu."

"Yeah." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, "Then, Tsunade, start preparing for Hokage."

When the Third Ninja War ended, not only the other Ninja villages suffered heavy losses, but the Konoha Village, which was set on fire by the Shikoku, also suffered a large number of ninjas. Under various pressures including Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen abdicated and supported Namikaze Minato to become The Fourth Hokage.

Today, as it was then, the rumors spread by Danzo in the village damaged his reputation. Even if he succeeds in succeeding Hokage, he will only abdicate and let the people in the village feel calm.

He was not dissatisfied with this, just let Konoha Village return to the previous situation of Namikaze Minato.

In fact, from a certain point of view, he is the same person as Danzo. Danzo can do all kinds of vicious things for the sake of Konoha Village, and he can make all kinds of compromises that do not hurt the fundamentals for the stability of Konoha Village. concession.
