7 . Uzumaki Mito's Stance

" Forgive me, Mito-sama" Danzo bowed apologetically.

After all their lives were saved by Tobirama so they owed this to the Senju clan.

" It was Tobirama's decision, after all, so you don't have to feel guilty about it. " Mito said with a complex tone.

" Thank you for bringing Tobirama's body back, The Senju clan will remember this kindness." Uzumaki Mito's words undoubtedly supported Danzo and this showed where her stance was.

Mito learned of Danzo's actions of fighting the Kumo shinobi to bring back Tobirama's body. She was awed by his respect for Tobirama and that made it simpler for her to make her decision.

" Since you have woken up, you should preside over Tobirama's funeral. After all, you are the next Hokage designated by Tobirama and the one who brought his body back from the battlefield." Mito said in a sad tone and Tsunade in her arms trembled slightly as if experiencing a bad dream.

" Well, I'm going to go prepare for Sensei's funeral " Danzo nodded at Mito and said, getting up to take his leave

But he suddenly remembered something, he remembers Tobirama's final words and turned towards Mito.

" Mito-sama, Sensei asked me to teach Tsunade personally before he died, so that she would become an outstanding Kunoichi."

" Of course, if Mito-sama plans to personally teach the child, then I won't bother "

Hearing Danzo's words, Mito's expression changed for a split second, there were a lot of thoughts running through her mind, but all of them became clear to her in a moment.

Tobirama had planned everything to ensure that Danzo would be firmly tied to the Senju clan. She didn't expect Tobirama to have thought this far, if Tsunade was The Hokage's direct disciple then the position of the Senju clan in the future will be much more stable.

" Since it was Tobirama's final request, I will follow his wish. When this girl Tsunade is old enough I will send her to learn at your side. " Mito said while gently stroking Tsunade's head and smiling while seeing her sleeping face.

In this life, her granddaughter could be said to be her priority along with the Senju clan.

" I understand, I will be leaving first "

Danzo stood up and left, heading towards the place that would soon belong to him.

....

....

Soon, Danzo arrived in front of the Hokage's office. He opened the door and entered.

*Click*

But the scene before him made him feel a little weird.

The four people in front of him are his companions, Homura, Koharu, Kagami, and finally Hiruzen.

But the reason Danzo felt weird wasn't this, it was because Hiruzen was sitting on the Hokage's chair while looking at documents.

It felt like Hiruzen was trying to be the Hokage.

When Hiruzen looked up and saw Danzo, he could feel the weird look the other party was giving him, he couldn't help but be embarrassed even with a face as thick as the Great wall.

Homura and the others didn't say anything, they just watched both of them as if seeing a play.

After all, Danzo was the Third Hokage and Hiruzen is sitting in his chair, no matter how good the relationship between the two is, there must be a line that shouldn't be crossed. Unless the other party has any other intentions.

" Sorry Danzo, you were unconscious so I took care of your recent government affairs on my own." Hiruzen smiled at Danzo awkwardly and hurriedly left the chair and sat near Kagami.

His actions were smooth and simple concealing his embarrassment.

But if one looked closely one could see a reluctance in his eyes that was well concealed but Danzo didn't fail to notice it.

" It's fine Hiruzen, You or me it's the same, or if you want I can announce that you will be the future Hokage." Danzo's face showed an understanding and pure smile which made other people unable to get angry at him.

It made Hiruzen more embarrassed, Kagami, Homura, and Koharu were secretly snickering inside their minds.

Hiruzen due to the support of Nidaime used to order them around all day long. Now let's see who will help him this time.

" No....no... Danzo, you are the person appointed as Hokage by Sensei. The reason sensei did this is definitely that you are stronger and wiser than us and can lead Konoha to glory." Hiruzen swallowed the bitterness in his heart and boot-licked Danzo like a professional. Because if he showed any response to Danzo's words then it would expose his ambitions.

Now all he has to do is make Danzo believe that he doesn't have any interest in the Hokage position, and then.... hehe..

" Alright, everyone prepare for sensei's funeral we need to make it grand. All members of Konoha should be present and those who are not will be thrown out of the village " Danzo who was sitting with a Cold face said solemnly.

And Danzo's words caused a tremble in everyone's heart. Because they all know that Konoha has changed, and the new Hokage will use his might to tell Konoha and even the entire Shinobi world

Konoha had not been weakened by the death of Senju Tobirama! ! *
