In order of age, they are Danzo, Jiraiya and Kakashi.
It is in the interest of the Yamanaka family that Danzo ascends to the throne, but it may not be in the interest of Ino Shikacho. Again, Danzo is unruly and has a tough personality, so the ninja clan is unwilling to deal with him.
Kakashi simply lacks qualifications. In addition, he has always been a charging character before and has not proven his ability to lead. The third Hokage consciously led him to a higher level. Unfortunately, the time was too short, and now Kakashi is not in the village.
, a perfect opportunity to prove yourself was wasted.
The remaining candidate is Jiraiya.
Pig, Deer and Butterfly quickly divided the work.
Ino went to Tsunade and asked her opinion.
Haiichi continues to support Danzo. No matter who becomes the Hokage, intelligence work and the root of the ninja cannot be ignored. The Yamanaka family has the presence of Ino, and there are people both overt and covert, and they are already in an invincible position.
Shikaku immediately left the village and went to find Kakashi to test the copy ninja's opinion of the new Hokage. If he had no interest in Naruto, then let him also support Jiraiya.
The big fat Dingzuo took advantage of his good popularity to find Jiraiya.
When he was young, Choza had been a teammate of Minato Namikaze for a period of time, and he was also very familiar with Minato Namikaze's teacher, Jiraiya.
...
One day later, Kakashi first met Shikaku and learned that the village had been attacked by Orochimaru and Sunagakure. He immediately gave up the mission of finding Danzo and traveled by starry night to lead the ANBU ninja back to the village.
Shikaku didn't need to say more. Kakashi made it clear that he was really not interested in the position of Hokage. If no one took the position, there was no other way. He could only bite the bullet and take the position. Now that there is a candidate in front of him, he will continue to be one.
The charging ninja is pretty good.
He also followed Ino Shikacho to persuade Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was very resolute at first. He would not do it even if he killed me! My disciple is the fourth generation, and now I am the fifth generation. How shameless am I?
Shikaku is very good at figuring out people's hearts. He speaks out and uses himself as an example. He says that he is a person with many methods but few ideas, while Jiraiya is just the opposite. Jiraiya is a person who has ideas but no methods.
People often know what to do, but don't know how to do it.
A counselor like Shikaku is best suited to assist a Hokage with Jiraiya's personality.
You are the Hokage, you say what you want to do and what goal you want to achieve, and as a consultant, I will give you three ideas, top and bottom, and you choose the most suitable one, and then implement it and you're done.
You are not tired, and I am not mentally burdened. We are both suitable.
Shikaku even expressed that his ninja talents are insufficient and he wants to concentrate on being a staff advisor. He is willing to step down from the position of Jonin squad leader. At that time, you can choose Kakashi or Asuma to be the squad leader.
Jiraiya's attitude was slightly relaxed, saying that he would seriously consider this issue.
On the same day, two consultants sent Ino a B-level mission on behalf of the village, asking her to find Tsunade and bring her back to the village.
Three days later, I heard that Orochimaru was dead and Danzo didn't need anyone to look for him. He removed the ambush and returned with the root ninja.
Danzo was furious!
What's going on? Orochimaru is dead, but the third generation is not dead?
On the fifth day after the failure of Konoha's collapse plan, Ino made a round trip and brought Tsunade, Shizune, and the pet pig Dodo back to Konoha Village.
The third generation's injuries were too serious. Slug Sage only allowed his heart to beat again, but his body was actually too weak. He couldn't even wake up, let alone stand up to handle official duties.
Slug Immortal has nothing to do with human beings' fragile bodies and souls. What the third generation needs now is medical skills, not magical chakra.
Asuma was okay, Konohamaru had fainted from crying several times.
Ino brought the hope of the whole village and asked Tsunade to return to the village.
It's not like I'm going back to be Hokage, I'm just seeing a patient. It's not difficult.
Tsunade was dissatisfied with the third generation, but not to the extent of watching him die. She would still save him if she could.
On the way, Ino asked Tsunade bluntly if she had any plans to become Hokage.
As expected, Tsunade refused. The reason she used was that she was afraid of blood.
The three people and one pig quickly returned to the village. As soon as they returned to the village, they had no time to sigh and rushed to Konoha Hospital.
"Please, please save my grandpa!" Outside the ward, Konohamaru cried like a tearful person.
Tsunade was most impatient to watch this. Who is your grandfather? There are so many wounded in Konoha who need treatment, can I save them?
She grabbed Konohamaru by the collar and threw him away without asking any questions.
Jiraiya, Ino, Shizune, and Todo all had serious faces, looking like they were still frightened.
Naruto yelled and ran out to save Konohamaru.
"Thank you for your hard work." Asuma, the filial son, nodded heavily to Ino.
Without Ino's connection, it would not have been so easy to find Tsunade, and it would not have been so easy to bring the person back. Saving people now is like putting out fires, and maybe after two days, the person will be gone.
He was very grateful to Ino.
Ino accepted the thank you, and she felt at ease. If it weren't for me...hehe, let's go have a feast now!
She deserves this thank you.
"Are you all doctors? Get all the irrelevant people out! Get out!" Tsunade was furious and drove Jiraiya, Asuma and all the others out of the ward.
Only her two disciples and her pet pig Dolphin remained.
Tsunade's medical skills were indeed very strong. One day later, the Third Hokage finally slowly woke up, and Tsunade also cured Gekko Hayate, who had been unconscious in the next room.
He said that the person who killed him was the Jonin Maki of Sunagakure Village, and there was a conspiracy in Sunagakure Village.
Ino smiled and signaled the former VIP customer of the flower shop to have a good rest. Your information came a little too late.
When the Third Hokage opened his eyes, he was surprised that he could still survive after using the zombie seal?
Tsunade didn't know what was going on.
You ask me? How could I know? It was you who used the corpse seal, not me?
After Tsunade treated the third generation, she wanted to leave, but after the pleas of many acquaintances, she agreed to stay for two more days, at least until those seriously injured people were out of danger before leaving.
The third generation has lost too much soul and his body is aging. Although he can still move one hand, he will never be able to use ninjutsu in this life.
A person who cannot use ninjutsu is naturally not a ninja, let alone the Hokage of Konoha Village.
The third generation currently has a lot of cronies, and with the support of Asuma, Kurenai, and Kakashi, his rights have not been greatly affected for the time being, but he knows his own affairs, his organs are failing, and his lifespan has entered a countdown.
, and cannot use ninjutsu, he must quickly arrange for his successor, the sooner the better, the time left for him is very short.
He approached Jiraiya and Tsunade successively, with Jiraiya in front and Tsunade in the back, and had a serious talk with the two, hoping that they would take over the position of Hokage. As expected, both of them refused.
