Sunagakure Village's dispatch of three thousand ninja troops is almost the limit. Konoha can easily pull out an army of ten thousand. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. The reason why Sunagakure Village is so tough is that Sunagakure Village has nothing to do.
The Shadow of a Village dies at the drop of a hat, without seeing people alive or dead bodies. The hard-planned operation finally becomes a laughing stock. Bow and apologize, and retreat directly? For the sake of face, they must fight to the end.
You have to pretend to be tough, otherwise the people in the village will lose heart.
Sunagakure Village is betting that Konoha will not dare to go to war.
Even if a war breaks out, they are not afraid. If they can't defeat them and burrow into the desert, can you still chase them across the vast sea?
Sand Hidden Village is really too poor and has broken pots and broken pots. They are poor and are not afraid of war.
This kind of blackmail is done with ease. It's not the first time, and it won't be the last time.
The Third Hokage ignored Sunagakure Village's war blackmail and launched a network offensive, asking Tsunade, Kakashi, and Naruto, whoever could talk to him, to take turns to persuade Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was not his most satisfactory apprentice, but now he is the most satisfactory apprentice, no matter what!
"Hey, the old man asked you to be Hokage, why did you refuse? Is it because of the prophecy of Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku?" Tsunade was the only one who could ask so straightforwardly.
The two of them were drinking in a tavern in the village, without any entourage, just the two of them.
Jiraiya is very serious this time. Kakashi and Asuma have talked to him in the past two days, including the three ninja clans of Ino, Shika and Cho, Hinata, Inuzuka, and Aburame, Mito Kaden and Koharuya.
They all expressed their own opinions, and Danzo definitely disagreed, but this time he couldn't come up with any good reason to object.
Everyone wanted him to be the Hokage, but he didn't.
When I took a sip of the wine, I felt that the wine was a little bitter.
"I really don't have that talent, and my personality is not suitable... Like an old man, sitting in an office every day to deal with official duties? That's really not what I want." A hint of confusion appeared on Jiraiya's face.
Fear, the scene of me sitting in the office handling official business is really scary!
He likes and is used to a free life, and really doesn't want to tie himself to such a village.
He prefers to be a protector rather than a controller.
Tsunade knew very well what he was like. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Tsunade herself didn't want to be the Hokage, and naturally she didn't want to push Jiraiya into this pit of fire. After a few more words of persuasion, she raised her glass,
Prepare to continue drinking and change this topic.
Anyway, the third generation asked him to help persuade him, and he persuaded him, but Jiraiya didn't agree, so what can be done?
Lengbuding Naruto rushed out from the corner of the corner.
He jumped directly onto the table in front of the two of them and pointed at Jiraiya.
Naruto was very annoyed, looking at Jiraiya with such a trace of disappointment in his eyes.
"Sexy Sento, why did you refuse to be Hokage? Aren't you a legendary Sannin? Isn't it a shame to become a person like the Third Grandfather and the Fourth Hokage? I'm going to beat you up!"
Naruto rushed up with claws and teeth, and Tsunade quickly grabbed his clothes. At the same time, she glanced outside the tavern and saw Kakashi smiling sarcastically and waving to her.
Any prophecies or lack of motivation are all excuses.
Jiraiya lacks confidence in himself. He always thinks that he is a loser. This is the key.
Everyone tried to persuade him but to no avail. There was no other way to send Naruto out at this time.
If Naruto's Mouth Release was 150% effective against Tsunade, it would be 200% effective against Jiraiya. When Jiraiya saw Naruto, he thought of his disciple Namikaze Minato.
No matter it was Shikaku, Sandai, Kakashi or Tsunade, the effect at this moment was not as good as Naruto's. Seeing Naruto's expectant eyes, his heart was greatly touched. The words he was originally prepared to refuse finally appeared on his lips.
There is obvious looseness.
He said he wanted to think about it seriously, and then left alone.
Jiraiya was hesitant, but Danzo was already taking action in full swing.
He secretly went to the capital of the Country of Fire and returned a day later. In the third generation's hospital room, he took out a letter of appointment personally signed by the daimyo of the Fire Country. The daimyo agreed that after the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen abdicated, he, Shimura Danzo, would take over the fifth position.
Daime Hokage.
Danzo was very proud and asked: "Hiruzen, is there no problem with the daimyo's signature?"
Mito Monoyan had a strange look on his face, not understanding how such a thing came out.
The third generation was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes were very cloudy. He knew very well that the old man definitely used a method he didn't know about, and this was definitely not the daimyo's original intention.
"I don't know what ninjutsu you used against the daimyo, but Danzo, your behavior has crossed the line again."
Danzo didn't care at all: "What? Do you think I forged this? Then let's go to the capital together and let the daimyo make his decision in person. Is that okay?"
The third generation secretly thought to himself that he couldn't figure out what ninjutsu Danzo used to change the will of the daimyo. It is said that the daimyo also had powerful ninjas around him, but they just watched like this? Or were those ninjas also bought by Danzo?
Sandai was low on energy. He just thought about it for a while and felt dizzy.
He did not have the strength to speak at length, so he could only shake his head: "I don't agree. This is a random fate. The appointment of the Shadow of One Village was recommended by Ninja Village. The daimyo only has the right to agree or disagree. You...
..”
He weakly pointed at the paperwork: "...it doesn't follow the procedures."
Danzo threw the appointment document in front of him: "The appointment of the daimyo, the reconstruction materials of the Fire Country, are you going to refuse these?"
When it comes to money and reconstruction, Mito Kaden and Koharu hesitate.
The appointment of a daimyo still holds some weight in their hearts.
Konoha is short of money, supplies, and manpower in all aspects, and these big names are there.
Once Danzo is rejected as Hokage, will the Daimyo not provide these things?
The third generation thought for a long time. In order to save Danzo first, he could only take a step back temporarily. He said: "This appointment does not comply with the procedures. I can step down. After my death, you go to the capital to hold a meeting to formally determine the candidate for Hokage. This
You can temporarily act as Hokage for a while."
Although there was no perfect step, Danzo was satisfied with the fact that the acting Hokage was also a Hokage. He looked at the other two consultants.
The two could only nod in agreement.
"Okay, then I will act as Hokage. Hiruzen, you can be a consultant first and take good care of yourself. The village still needs your wisdom and experience." After getting what he wanted, Danzo left the ward proudly.
.
The Third Hokage was not an honest person who followed the rules. If you are in the first grade of junior high school, I will be in the fifteenth grade. He immediately called Shikaku, and the two discussed in low voices for more than an hour.
