385 Chapter 384 Danzō: Shimizu Sōseki Won't Refuse My Order

"By the way, Sōseki, you said before that the Five Kage Summit was held in response to a secret organization. The reason you haven't come back for three years, is it to track down this secret organization?" Kurenai asked curiously.

"It's not." Sōseki's shook his head solemnly, "I'm investigating another organization other than them that is equally dangerous… or maybe even more dangerous!"

Guy exclaimed, "Why are there a lot of secret organizations? I feel that this world suddenly becomes strange!"

Shizune looked worried, "This kind of change is really worrying!"

At this time, Mei walked in, followed by a dozen or so Kirigakure's Jōnin.

Sōseki noticed that some of the Jōnin who followed Terumi Mei were originally the supporters of Mizukage.

"Has the Genjutsu on Mizukage been lifted?"

When they heard Sōseki's question, all of the Jōnin are either moved or grateful.

"It's been lifted!"

"Sure enough, as you said, Sōseki-sama, Mizukage-sama was indeed being controlled by evil people!"

"I already said that Mizukage-sama can't be that bad!"

"That bastard who manipulated Mizukage-sama from behind, you'd best pray that we won't catch you!"

Sōseki then asked again, "What about Mizukage-sama? I have something to tell him in person!"

Everyone looked at each other, and then shook their heads depressedly.

"Although those evil deeds are not Mizukage-sama's original intention, he still blames himself and feels very guilty!"

"Mizukage-sama said that someone like him with blood of his compatriots on his hands doesn't deserve to be the Mizukage anymore!"

Hearing this, Asuma and the others were shocked.

"Huh? The Mizukage took the blame and resign?"

"There is actually Kage resigning in peacetime. This is really big news!"

"Then, who is your Fifth Mizukage?"

Mei took a deep breath and said with a solemn look, "I will temporarily assume the position of the Fifth Mizukage!"

"Fifth Mizukage?" Several people are in disbelief. Although Mei is powerful, she is still too young to become a Kage!

Sōseki behaved quite normally, he smiled and then congratulated, "Fifth Mizukage-sama, congratulations!"

Hearing Sōseki's words, Mei helplessly said, "Do you really think I'm worthy to become the Mizukage?"

Sōseki chuckled and said, "I only saw your hard work and dedication for Kirigakure!"

Guy agreed, "Yes, every hard work should not be let down!"

Hearing this, Mei looked at Sōseki gratefully, "Thank you, Sōseki!"

Guy opened his eyes wide and waited for the other party to thank him too, but then saw the other party is smiling and talking to Sōseki about other things without looking at him.

Seeing this, Guy moved closer to Asma, lowered his voice and asked, "Why is no one thanking me?"

Asuma ignored him, and just said with emotion, "If only our Konoha could go a little crazier!"

Several people nodded in agreement. Although Danzō did a lot of bad things, it was not to the point of anger and resentment, so it will be a little too hard if they wanted to replicate the results of Kirigakure!

Mizuki thought darkly, "How can I make Danzō go crazy? Should I stimulate him? What kind of stimulation can I use?"

On the other side, Sōseki relayed Raikage's invitation.

"Five Kage Summit?" Mei took a deep breath and said helplessly, "I didn't expect to encounter such a big event just after becoming the Mizukage!"

After saying that, she turned her head and looked behind her, "How much do you all know about that organization?"

The group of Kirigakure's Shinobi all shook their heads with embarrassed smiles.

"I seem to have heard of them, but I didn't care."

"We haven't even solved the threat within the village before, so why should we pay attention to the outside world?"

Mei said sternly, "This Five Kage Summit is an opportunity to change the impression of the other Shinobi Villages to our title as the Village of The Bloody Mist. So, please try to collect the information of that organization. We need to make sure that the Shinobi World see a brand-new face of Kirigakure!"

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded earnestly. From the Third Shinobi War to now, Kirigakure didn't leave a good impression to the outside world until now. So it is time to make a change!

...

A few days later.

Konoha, in the Hokage Tower.

"Hokage-sama, that fellow Shimizu Sōseki has returned to the village!" Tatsuma reported with grave expression, "Should we take precautions?"

"He just returned to the village, nothing to worry about!" Danzō said calmly.

"However, in the previous Byakugan incident, many people are spreading rumors that you didn't do anything. Now that he came back this time, countless villagers would welcome me. I am worried…"

Ka-cha —

"Enough, no need to say it!" Before Tatsuma could finish his words, Danzō angrily destroyed the armrest of his chair, and muttered to himself with gloomy eyes, "Shimizu Sōseki…"

He always thought that time would change everything.

The people in the village will forget Sōseki, and only know that he is the Hokage!

But the fact is just the opposite. Not only the people of Noble and Great Clans don't take him seriously, but even the ordinary villagers don't take him seriously. They all regard Shimizu Sōseki as the savior of the world!

Thinking of this, Danzō cursed angrily, "Who did they think he is? He's just a loser, a stray dog ​​​​who was forced to escape with his legs between his tails for three years by me!"

Tatsuma became energetic upon hearing it, and hurriedly asked, "Hokage-sama, are you going to take action against Shimizu Sōseki? I think we can use the Hokage's position for justice…"

"Cough cough!" Danzō glared at him vaguely, "Am I the kind of villain who takes advantage of one's position to bully the others?"

'That guy Shimizu Sōseki just kicked Mizukage down in Kirigakure. If he doesn't feel like it, he will kick me down too, and then just said that I was being controlled by Genjutsu like the Mizukage!'

'When the time comes, everyone would cheer excitedly, and only I will be sadly tied up in the hospital.'

Thinking of the Fourth Mizukage, who was also "mentally ill", Danzō felt sympathy for a while.

Tatsuma blinked and understood, 'It turns out that Hokage-sama, you wanted to fight Shimizu Sōseki head-on, right?'

Seeing Tatsuma's strange gaze, Danzō quickly changed the subject, "What is really worth paying attention to is this invitation from Raikage!"

Danzō lightly tapped the document in his hand, and his eye narrowed, "Five Kage Summit, this is a great opportunity for me to re-establish my majesty as the Hokage!"

"Establish your majesty as the Hokage?" Tatsuma then asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?"

"Aren't they trying to deal with that Akatsuki?" Danzō smiled gloomily, "Since we want to integrate our power, there must be someone who takes the lead and become the leader!"

"Even if the other Shinobi Villages agree to form an alliance, it is very unlikely for them to choose you as the leader, right?" Tatsuma said cautiously.

"Then use the Shinobi method to decide who will be the leader. Of course, it won't be suitable for Kage to fight, so we can just get the people below to decide the winner!"

Tatsuma looked at Danzō strangely upon hearing this, "Do you want Shimizu Sōseki to take action?"

Danzō chuckled and said, "No matter how is it, he still has to obey my orders on the surface, and it's also not for myself, but for the honor of Konoha, so there is no reason why he would refuse, right?"
