The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

Chapter 150 Danzo's Dream Shattered

When Utane Koharu and the others heard Danzo's words, they looked at each other with an expression that said, "As expected."

Then Xiaochun stepped forward and said, "Danzo, what are you talking about?!

Can't you see how great Jiraiya's contribution was this time?

But at the critical moment, the root and someone really disappeared!"

"you!"

Danzo was hit by Koharu's straight punch and he covered his chest with his hands, unable to speak. He could only express his anger with his wide-open eyes.

Mitomon En saw Danzo's reaction and immediately said, "Koharu, Danzo didn't mean that. He was just worried that Jiraiya was still young and not mature enough to be a good Hokage."

Mitomon En first acted as a translator for Danzo with an understanding and tolerant look on his face. When he saw that the atmosphere between Koharu and Danzo had eased a little, he turned to look at Danzo,

"Speaking of this, Danzo, I must say one thing. We still have to trust the young people. After all, we are all old, and the future still depends on them!"

Hearing this, Danzo's brows twitched, and he complained in his heart, you are the ones who are old, I can still fight as Hokage for another twenty years.

But he couldn't directly say that his body had been transformed by Wood Release and was still very young. You three old pumpkins are all rotten, but I am still alive and well.

Therefore, Danzo could only endure it and turned the gun to continue attacking Jiraiya.

"Believe him. He left Konoha and hasn't been back for how many years? He only came back for a short while last month and then disappeared without a trace.

When the Konoha riot happened, where was he? Who knows where he was peeping at women! "

"Cough cough cough..."

Before Shimura Danzo finished his words, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya suddenly coughed awkwardly at the same time, leaving Mito Kado En and the others speechless. You two really are worthy of being master and disciple.

The awkwardness lasted for a few seconds, and Utane Koharu suppressed her inner doubts and continued to confront Danzo, "This action of protecting Konoha has made Jiraiya very popular among the villagers, and the ninjas of Konoha also support Jiraiya.

Compared to someone who completely disappeared, Jiraiya should have no problem with the Jounin confidence vote."

The ward then became a battlefield between Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mitomon En. The verbal battles and sarcastic exchanges between the three of them never ceased. Danzo was furious several times, but he could never defeat Koharu and the two who worked so well together.

In a rage, Danzo turned his attention to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was slumped on the bed. "Huruzen, you are the Hokage. Now that you are seriously injured and unable to handle the affairs, isn't it time for someone to step up and take on the responsibilities of the Hokage?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been watching the show on the hospital bed for a long time, rolled his eyes. At this time, did you remember that there was a Hokage lying here?

"I am indeed not capable of being Hokage right now, and I need someone to fulfill the responsibilities. As for who it will be, we can talk about it later. For now, let's talk about the current situation in the village."

Under the complicated looks of Danzo, Jiraiya and others, Sarutobi Hiruzen changed the subject and prepared to understand the specific situation of the village first.

Realizing that Sarutobi Hiruzen was trying to leave Danzo hanging, Mito Kado En quickly chimed in, "According to preliminary statistics, approximately 5 jonin, 67 chuunin, and 283 genin were killed in the battle. Approximately 1200 civilians were affected and died. There are also approximately 1300 seriously injured ninja and civilians."

Mitomon En's voice grew increasingly hoarse as he spoke. He paused and continued, "The casualties I just mentioned don't include those within the Sarutobi and Shimura clans. Also, regarding buildings, approximately one-seventh of Konoha's buildings were damaged or collapsed. There may still be people alive inside. We're currently searching with ninja dogs and parasitic bugs from the Aburame clan..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to open his eyes after hearing this. In fact, he had already estimated the losses this time. He was lying on the hospital bed and looking out through the gap in the window, he could see a large area of ​​ruins and wasteland. It goes without saying how serious the damage to Konoha was this time.

"The damage and losses suffered by the village this time are far more severe than those in previous incidents. At least in those previous incidents, civilians were not greatly affected. We must immediately recover and reorganize our forces, otherwise other villages may seize the opportunity to attack!"

As soon as Mitomonen finished speaking, Utane Koharu seamlessly followed up, "The village has lost a lot of supplies over the years, but it's still far from enough. The Fire Nation has also suffered considerable losses in recent years, and the Daimyo is already quite dissatisfied with Konoha. Even if they are willing to provide support, the resource gap will be significant."

"In addition to reconstruction, there is also the treatment of the wounded. There are too many injured ninjas and civilians. The order of treatment must be arranged. I am afraid that some people have been forced to..."

Koharu stopped talking here, and she didn't want to say the rest, so Mitomon En took over.

"Besides that, the detention, interrogation, and investigation of prisoners must be stepped up. We still have a large number of prisoners of war to deal with. Prisoners and some ninjas from other villages are still in the village. If things go wrong, there will be another disturbance!"

There is also the issue of how to deal with the accumulated tasks. If a large number of tasks cannot be completed, it will affect Konoha's image and make everyone lose confidence in Konoha.

The most important thing is that the defense force must be rearranged, and we must pay attention to the reaction of the Sand Village. Even if we temporarily transfer some ninjas to the border, the overall strength is still insufficient!

......"

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu coordinated their words perfectly. They looked at Danzo after every word they said, which made Danzo calm down a lot.

To be honest, he has always advocated iron-fisted rule. He felt a little overwhelmed after hearing so many things. He suddenly felt that sitting on the position of Hokage would be a hot topic.

After hearing what Koharu and the others said, Sarutobi Hiruzen, with the help of Jiraiya, managed to stand up a little and spoke slowly. "The loss suffered by Konoha this time is too great. This is my dereliction of duty as the Hokage.

It's just that the backlog of things has to be done. At present, the only two ninjas suitable to take over in Konoha Village are Jiraiya and Kakashi. Compared to Jiraiya, Kakashi is much younger, so I'm afraid Jiraiya will have to take over!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had just given it some thought and decided that Jiraiya was indeed the best person to take over. Regardless, given Jiraiya's personality, while he wouldn't go out of his way to favor the Sarutobi clan, he still showed some favoritism. For the Sarutobi clan, whose strength had been severely weakened, that was enough.

What's more, I am Jiraiya's teacher, and he has to respect me even though he is in the position of Hokage!

When Danzo heard that the only people suitable for Sarutobi Hiruzen were Jiraiya and Kakashi, he became very anxious and asked, "Huruzen, why have you forgotten me?"

His face flushed red and he coughed hard a few times before saying, "I think I can do it too. This time, let me protect Konoha!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew Danzo's thoughts clearly. He opened and closed his eyes, looking at Danzo with an endless coldness in his eyes, "Give up, whether it's a vote of confidence or from the Daimyo, you will never pass.

No one was at the root of this turmoil, and we have no information before or after it happened. You should first think of an explanation!"
