Chapter 290 Danzo: I Am Willing to Succeed the Sixth Hokage!

The Third Mizukage continued.

"And, Master Yuan."

"You have to understand something."

"It's not that we don't want to defeat Konoha now."

"It's not that we want to give Konoha time to develop."

"It's because we can't defeat Konoha in a short period of time."

"Actually, there are only two choices before us."

"The first one, now continue to attack fiercely, hurt both Konoha and other ninja villages, and let other ninja villages benefit."

"The second one is for both sides to develop and become the two strongest in the ninja world. Then they will fight in a decisive battle. The winner will unify the ninja world."

"For us, Konoha also has these two choices."

Master Yuan was silent for a long time and nodded.

"I see."

"Then Mizukage-sama, how should we determine the timing of this decisive battle?"

Kirigakure and Konoha are developing opposite each other, and the development speed and efficiency of the two sides are definitely different.

And there will be fluctuations.

The time of the decisive battle becomes very important.

Maybe at this point in time, Konoha has the advantage.

Maybe at that point in time, Kirigakure Village had an advantage.

"The key to timing is intelligence. Orochimaru has approached Taketori Neko before. If Taketori Neko can get Konoha intelligence from Orochimaru and undercover Konoha, we will have a huge advantage."

After that, the third Mizukage looked at Kamehara Shu.

"That's one of them."

"However, for our Kirigakure Village, the most important thing is to cultivate you."

Saying that, the Third Mizukage sighed.

"Kirigakure has never been a strong ninja village."

“The foundation built by our predecessors is not strong enough.”

"The former Kirigakure Village was either the last or the second to last among the five major ninja villages."

"If Sunagakure Village hadn't been at the bottom, I'm afraid we would have fallen into the disgrace of the Great Ninja Village."

"And the ninja family in the village is strange, paranoid, and too selfish."

"Both the Taketori clan and the Oniden clan are like this."

"Even if their problem is solved, it still has a considerable negative impact on our Kirigakure Village."

"Strength has declined and reputation has been affected."

"Except for the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swords, including the Solitaire, Samehada, and Thunder Sword, the other four are not that good. I'm telling the truth, and they have higher requirements for their users."

"Until Xiu shows up."

"Zanpakuto is a great sword. Needless to say, it is much stronger than the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swords."

"The mass production of Liang Kuai Dao has greatly helped ordinary ninjas."

"In the future, if Konoha wants to become stronger, it is actually very simple."

"That is, find those corpses suitable for the art of reincarnation from dirty soil."

"Even if it's not their Konoha ninjas, but the corpses of other ninja villages."

"As for us, we can only rely on the Zanpakutō you forged."

"It can be said that Xiu, you will express the hope of our whole village."

"There is no other way in the village to achieve a major change in strength in a short period of time."

Uehara corrected color.

"Mizukage-sama, I will definitely do my best."

After a pause, Uehara Shu said again.

"However, you know, Zanpakutō is very special. It can only be used in the hands of approved mates. Some of them can only be used in the hands of mates."

"The fit depends on the ninja's talents and attributes."

"So for some Zanpakutō, it is possible that no suitable match can be found in Kirigakure Village."

"But if ninjas from other ninja villages are also included as candidates for compatibility, in that case, I think it is only appropriate for our village to have control over this ninja and this ninja village."

The third Mizukage nodded.

"This is natural. Things from our village must not be given to people in other ninja villages in vain."

"Alliance matters must be promoted."

"But, it's not just an alliance, we must gain control of the ninjas in the alliance."

"I will arrange this matter."

"Xiu, you can rest assured."

"I will never let the ninjas from other ninja villages contract the Zanpakutō you made, but then leave with the Zanpakutō and abandon our Kirigakure Village."

…

…

Fire Nation.

The temporary camp of the Konoha army.

Senju Tobirama, Shimura Danzo, Sarutobi Sasuke, Hatake Sakumo, Uzumaki Kushina, Tsunade, and Koharu...

The top brass of Konoha, all those who are still alive, are gathered here.

Senju Tobirama's face was gloomy.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked around.

"We suffered heavy losses in this battle."

"Jiraiya is seriously injured, Suan is seriously injured, Minato is dead and cannot be reincarnated by the dirt again, Hiruzen is dead, and Orochimaru is dead."

"Now, the number of our elite ninjas in Konoha has been reduced by more than half in a short period of time."

"It is no longer possible to continue the same way of war as before."

"Tsunade, Dan and Jiraiya, how long will it take to recover?"

Tsunade was a little distracted, and she didn't come back to her senses until Senju Tobirama asked the question a second time.

Years of wasted life had smoothed Tsunade's fighting edges.

Coupled with missing Kato Dan, Tsunade actually didn't want to fight.

It's just that for Konoha, under Senju Tobirama's order, I had to go to the front line.

As the battle progressed, Tsunade slowly regained the feeling of the past.

Not to mention that you can suddenly regain your peak combat strength, but because your foundation and foundation are here, you can perform very well on the battlefield.

Jiraiya's serious injury cost Tsunade a lot of effort in treating him.

Only then could Jiraiya's situation be stabilized.

Unexpectedly, after Konoha chose to retreat, the first news Tsunade received was that Kato Dan fell into a coma, as if he was having a terrible nightmare.

Tsunade still had a lot to say to Kato Dan.

"Back to Second Grandpa, Jiraiya's condition is quite serious. Several vital parts are injured, but they are all visible injuries. If I treat him, he can basically recover within a month."

"But if we have to fight, I'm afraid it will take longer."

"And as for breaking..."

Tsunade was silent for a while.

"I have no idea."

No one would suspect that Tsunade wasn't trying her best.

Regardless of the relationship with Konoha, Tsunade will definitely do her best to deal with Kato Dan.

"Second generation sir, can Hiruzen be reincarnated and resurrected by the dirty earth?"

Sarutobi Sasuke blamed himself.

As a father, because he was in danger, his son had to stand in his way.

Save yourself with your life.

As a father, from Sarutobi Sasuke's point of view, this was a huge failure.

Failure to the extreme.

Senju Tobirama looked at Sarutobi Sasuke and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, before this meeting, I have tried to reincarnate Hiruzen into dirty earth, but it failed. Like Minato, Hiruzen cannot be reincarnated by dirty earth."

"The ninja sword in Hidan's hand has a very special ability."

"That should be the Zanpakutō created by Shu Uehara of Kirigakure Village to target our Konoha's Earth Reincarnation Technique."

Sarutobi Sasuke's already ugly face became even more ugly.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi could be "resurrected", Sasuke Sarutobi would feel less guilty.

But now, Sarutobi Sasuke would rather he was the one who was killed.

After all, he is already dead.

"Hidan..."

"Uehara Shu..."

Sarutobi Sasuke clenched his fists.

Senju Tobirama looked at Danzo.

"Danzo, what is the current situation of the Cloud and Mist Alliance?"

"Return to Tobirama-sensei."

Danzo took a step forward and said: "At the beginning, the Cloud and Mist Alliance pursued them very fiercely, but the ninjas in Kirigakure Village did not have the endurance."

"So it gradually slowed down."

"And our ninjas have laid many traps."

"Those cloud and mist coalition forces are chasing after us, and they don't dare to continue to be so presumptuous."

"Now, there are just some small-scale battles."

Senju Tobirama nodded.

"Where is Sunagakure Village?"

Danzo hesitated.

"Teacher Tobirama, generally speaking, Sunagakure Village still wants to maintain an alliance with Konoha, but according to the information I have received, there seem to be some other opinions within Sunagakure Village."

"Some ninjas led by Ye Cura do not want to continue to be in alliance with our Konoha."

Qianju Tobirama frowned slightly.

"Ye Cang...I know."

"It is normal for multiple opinions to arise within Sand Hidden Village. As long as their external attitudes are consistent, it won't be a big problem."

"Danzo, I need you to continue to explore the situation in Kirigakure Village. Remember, it is Kirigakure Village, not the Cloud and Mist Alliance."

Danzo nodded.

"Yes, Tobirama-sensei."

An ANBU ninja walked in and brought in a Kirigakure ninja who had been caught in a trap.

Still alive.

This was something Senju Tobirama deliberately kept alive.

Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot be reincarnated by the dirty earth again.

But Orochimaru was different.

Orochimaru was not killed by the Immortal Sword.

The killer of Orochimaru is unknown.

Orochimaru's body was also there.

It can be said that all the conditions for being reincarnated from dirty soil are met.

"The art of reincarnation from dirty soil!"

Senju Tobirama used the Soil Reincarnation Jutsu on the Kirigakure ninja who was kneeling on the ground, blindfolded and with a rag stuffed in his mouth.

Everyone retreated a little.

In the eyes of everyone, this shouldn't be a surprise.

But the next moment.

Nothing happened to the Kirigakure ninja.

Senju Tobirama's expression changed.

"what's the situation?"

"Even if Minato and Hiruzen can't be reincarnated by the dirt, why can't Orochimaru be reincarnated by the dirt? Could it be that the person who killed Orochimaru was also a ninja from Kirigakure Village?"

"Does Kirigakure Village own two such ninja swords?"

Without Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen, to be honest, from Senju Tobirama's point of view, Konoha is not that much weakened.

But without Orochimaru, from Senju Tobirama's point of view, Konoha will be greatly weakened.

Orochimaru's research ability has improved not only his own strength.

But it can improve the strength of many people.

"Teacher Tobirama?"

Danzo hesitated.

"Did the ninjutsu fail?"

Senju Tobirama shook his head.

"I don't know what happened, but my Earth Reincarnation Technique did not fail. The reason why Orochimaru did not come back from resurrection is because there are other problems."

Sarutobi Sasuke's somewhat dry voice sounded.

"Second-sama, is Orochimaru's situation the same as Hiruzen's?"

Senju Tobirama shook his head again.

"It's not certain now."

Danzo said: "It's not impossible. Since Uehara Osamu of the Hidden Mist Village can make a Zanpakutō like that, he may be able to make two such Zanpakutō."

"One will come to the front battlefield."

"One will launch a sneak attack."

"You can catch us by surprise twice."

"Use intelligence to gain more benefits."

Utatane Koharu agreed.

"Teacher Tobirama, I think what Danzo said is very likely. Those people in the Hidden Mist Village are extremely insidious. If there are two such Zanpakutō, they will definitely use them like that."

"In that case, we will lose Minato, Hiruzen, and Orochimaru forever."

"And more importantly, Orochimaru is still the current Hokage."

"The village cannot be without the Hokage."

Utatane Koharu hesitated and suggested.

"Teacher Tobirama, given the current situation, there is no one more suitable than you in the whole village. Please take over the position of Hokage."

Senju Tobirama shook his head.

"No, the position of Hokage should not be held by me. I am already dead. This position belongs to you living people."

When Tobirama Senju said this, Danzo suddenly had an idea.

Living people?

Danzo looked around.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead.

Orochimaru is dead.

Jiraiya is seriously injured and it is unknown when he will wake up.

And Jiraiya has no intention of becoming Hokage.

Mito Kado En is also dead.

Tsunade also has no intention of becoming Hokage.

Moreover, a person who has left the village for so many years for his own sake and does not pay attention to or care about the village is not qualified to become the Hokage of Konoha.

Utatane Koharu is much worse than himself in all aspects.

So, he has actually become the most suitable person to succeed Hokage?

Danzo felt his heart beating violently.

"Teacher Tobirama."

Danzo recalled the scene of that year.

When Senju Tobirama asked who was willing to cover the rear, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to raise his hand, and thus he won the position of Hokage.

That was what Danzo regretted the most.

He was one step slower than Sarutobi Hiruzen, and as a result, he was never able to become Hokage for life.

"Teacher Tobirama likes people who take the initiative to take responsibility."

"And now, Konoha has no Hokage, and this position needs someone to take responsibility."

"I must take the initiative."

"If I take the initiative, Teacher Tobirama will recognize me. With Teacher Tobirama's recognition, even if others have other opinions, I will definitely get the position of Hokage."

"I, Shimura Danzo, will be the sixth Hokage of Konoha!"

Danzo raised his hand.

"Teacher Tobirama, I am willing to take this responsibility, so let me take the position of Hokage."

Everyone's eyes fell on Danzo.

Many people knew that Danzo wanted to be Hokage.

But many people felt that Danzo did not have the ability to be a good Hokage.

But apart from Tsunade and Jiraiya who don't want to be Hokage, there seems to be no one more suitable than Danzo.

Is Danzo really going to succeed the position of Hokage?

Suddenly.

"Crack!"

A figure pushed the door open and walked in.
