ch69

"Ladies and gentlemen, I recommend Jiraiya as the Fifth Hokage."

"Jiraiya?"

"Lord Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin who is as famous as Orochimaru."

"Yes, if it is Jiraiya-sama, he is indeed qualified to be the Fifth Hokage."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and most of them were in favor.

Of course, there were also objections.

The reason is that Jiraiya has been away from the village for a long time and doesn't know much about the current situation in the village.

Another point, which is most important, is that some ninjas have dealt with Jiraiya and know his character.

How can a lecherous person like him become Hokage? It could ruin the atmosphere of Konoha Village.

Wouldn't it be Konoha's shame if Jiraiya peeked at other girls during the Five Kage Summit and let the other Kage know?

There were voices of approval and disapproval.

Another person suggested: "Homura advisor, I think Lord Danzo is more suitable for the role of Hokage."

"Yeah, Lord Danzo has been in the village for many years, painstakingly and silently contributing to the village."

"Indeed, with Danzo-sama's abilities, he is very suitable for the role of Hokage."

"Yes, that's right, Danzo-sama and the Third Hokage are from the same generation, and both are qualified to become Hokage regardless of strength or ability."

"Danzo?"

Konoha's dark side is almost all his responsibility.

Nara Shikaku frowned slightly; he did not approve of Danzo becoming Hokage.

But his opinion alone did not change anything.

The same goes for Kakashi, who has worked under Danzo and knows what kind of person he is.

But he was too weak to influence the decision by himself.

There were people who supported him, and Danzo, who was sitting on the stage, couldn't help but smile.

He, Danzo, could swear that this time he didn't arrange for insiders.

All these people supported him from the heart.

"It seems that the old man's methods are a bit harsh, but they still win the hearts of the people."

At this moment, Danzo was also a little narcissistic.

Jiraiya's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was more or less disgusted with Danzo, the old man.

However, it is an undeniable fact that Konoha can have today's achievements thanks to Danzo.

Mitokado Homura thought deeply.

Indeed, Danzo is fully qualified to be the Fifth Hokage in terms of qualifications, ability, and strength.

The only reason he didn't recommend Danzo is that Danzo is about the same age as the Third Hokage.

He wanted a younger talent to lead Konoha Village, so Konoha was full of energy and growth potential.

Instead of an old man with a sunset like Danzo to lead.

Whether it's Homura or Koharu, they and Danzo were once escorts of the Second Hokage.

In this regard, they still want to ask Danzo's opinion.

He asked softly, "Danzo, what do you think?"

Danzo took a deep breath and stood up.

Everyone's eyes turned to the man with the bandages.

Danzo's whole person gave off a gloomy aura.

Seeing him was like seeing darkness.

"Thanks to everyone's love, but for me to succeed as the Fifth Hokage, my old self is really not suitable for the position of Hokage. Let a young person take over."

Refused?

God, Danzo refused.

Whether it was Kakashi or Nara Shikaku, they were shocked that Danzo would turn down the position of Hokage.

In their opinion, Danzo had coveted the Hokage position for a long time.

In the past, he was always pressed by the Third Hokage and didn't show it.

And now, with such a great opportunity, he turned it down.

Not only Kakashi but even Nara Shikaku, who has the title of Konoha's genius strategist, couldn't figure it out.

Jiraiya closed his eyes and tapped his calf.

As a disciple of the Third Hokage, he was well aware of Danzo's ambitions.

Danzo rejecting the Hokage position, Jiraiya was even more surprised.

"What the hell is old Danzo thinking?"

Danzo's impassioned, contagious speech drew bursts of applause.

Everyone was cheering for Danzo, for Danzo's righteousness.

Kakashi and Nara Shikaku couldn't help but also applaud.

They applauded because the Fifth Hokage was not Danzo, which reassured them a lot.

"Well, Danzo, as expected of you, you really have a long-term vision."

Homura and Koharu nodded in satisfaction.

Danzo's approach was the result they wanted to see.

They were in the same generation as Danzo, and it was not easy to reject him face to face.

And Danzo's approach had attracted a lot of goodwill.

Then here came the problem.

This was also where Homura and Koharu faced difficulty.

Neither Danzo nor Jiraiya would be Hokage, so who would be Hokage?

Kakashi?

Not so good, still too young.

Although Minato was a little younger at the time, the title of the Yellow Flash made ninjas from all over the world terrified.

And the title of Sharingan Copy Ninja Kakashi obviously can't do that.

Nara Shikaku?

With a good mind, he is more suitable to be Hokage's advisor.

Without the strength of Kage-level, and being from the Nara family, it is impossible.

Sarutobi Asuma?

Although he is the son of the Third Hokage, his strength is still not enough, and he has no contribution to S-rank missions.

There was no active performance on the battlefield.

Letting him be the Fifth Hokage is hard to justify.

So, who else?

Seeing the contemplative expressions of Homura and Koharu, Jiraiya stood up.

"Two advisors, besides me and Orochimaru, isn't there one more legendary Sannin?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately fell silent.

"Is that who Jiraiya-sama is referring to?"

"That's right, it's that person."

"The one who possesses extremely strong medical ninjutsu."

Danzo also showed a hint of interest and murmured softly, "Tsunade!"

A woman serving as Hokage, which is unprecedented in Konoha.

If Tsunade becomes the Fifth Hokage, Danzo doesn't object.

With a woman, he is still very confident.

"Jiraiya, we know who you are talking about, the granddaughter of the First Hokage, the princess of Konoha, Tsunade. She does have this ability, but she has been away from the village for many years, and no one knows her whereabouts."

"In that case, it's good to find her. Compared with me, Tsunade's personality is more suitable for Hokage. What do you think, Koharu advisor, Homura teacher?"

Homura and Koharu looked at each other.

Jiraiya is right, based on what they know about Jiraiya.

Maybe one day he will run away with a load of his own.

Tsunade does have a Hokage-like presence.

The current Konoha Village is in need of a strong leader, and the two are no longer indecisive.

"Go on, except for the ninja and Anbu who guard the village, the rest of the Jōnin, Chūnin, Anbu, the reconnaissance team, etc., all go to find Tsunade's whereabouts."

"Remember, there are only three days."

Three days is the limit of Konoha's existing resources.

In order to prevent ninjas from other countries from taking advantage of the situation and attacking the Land of Fire, they must retrieve the Fifth Hokage within three days.

The next words of Mitokado Homura shocked all the ninjas present.

"Remember, this is an S-class mission!"
