That evening, many of Jiraiya's heroic deeds were discussed heatedly by the villagers.
Jiraiya served as a frontline commander for a long time during the war years. He was powerful and approachable. He was very popular among ninjas, especially civilian ninjas. Many civilian ninjas felt that Jiraiya becoming Hokage was a great thing that met everyone's expectations.
Although the heads of the ninja clan did not speak, some branches of the ninja clan spoke one after another. The branches of the Hyuga family believed that only Jiraiya could become the Hokage and save the Leaf Village.
Danzo was very angry.
He was very familiar with this method. Back then, the Third Hokage relied on this propaganda to allow Namikaze Minato to suppress Orochimaru in terms of personal image, reputation, and achievements, and finally obtained the appointment of the Fourth Hokage.
At this time, he also realized his weakness. He was not as good as Orochimaru. Orochimaru had at least been fighting on the front line for many years and had many subordinates. What about him? He had been hiding in the dark. He said that he had done a lot of achievements. Who knew?
Danzo can only use actions to prove that he is the only candidate to serve as Hokage.
If you don't have any merit, then just get some merit.
Back to the roots, he starts shaking people!
The ninjas who belong to his roots, some civilian ninjas who were secretly trained, and the ninja clans under his command, including the Yamanaka family and the Aburame family, are all within the scope of his recruitment.
Sandai, didn't you say that you have to perform meritorious service to be a Hokage? Okay, just wait until I wipe out the Sound Ninja Village, and then use the power of victory to force the Sunagakure Village back, let's see what else you have to say!
The name of the acting Hokage is not loud enough, and most of the ninja clan cannot be mobilized at this time. If everyone tries to push the envelope, his prestige will be damaged, so he only recruits his own subordinates.
Cutting the knot with a quick sword, annihilating Otogakure Village, and then giving part of the profits to the ninja clan to gain support, his position as Hokage will be stable.
After all, he is still seventy years old, and he still has some political ability.
The root ninjas came out in full force.
The Yamanaka family dispatched one hundred and fifty ninjas, all of whom were led by Yamanakazuka.
Neither Haiichi nor Ino came. Danzo knew about their idea of ​​diversifying their investments. Inoka Die was so powerful that he could only win over them at this time, but could never suppress them.
The Aburame family was much worse. The clan leader personally led the team, and the one who came was Shino's father, Aburame Shiwei.
This is also a veteran Jonin. In his youth, he was a teammate with Namikaze Minato and Akimichi Choza on missions.
Aburame Shimi wears sunglasses and carries a big jar on her back. Like his son Shino, he has a low sense of presence and is usually taciturn.
Haiyi was qualified to resist the call, but he was not. The acting Hokage issued an order that he must come. If he didn't come, Shino would have to come.
Some ninjas from the small ninja clan came one after another. It was estimated that there were more than 800 ninjas on site. Danzo, Yamafaze and Aburame took the stage.
"Target, Otogakure Village in Tianno Country, let's set off."
Danzo wanted to bring the Hokage hat, but now that the three advisors in the village were against it, he didn't insist on it.
A group of people left the village. The people who looked at the gate were still Shenyue Izumo and Gang Zitie. Danzo had no intention of going through the formalities for leaving the village. The two of them seemed not to see it and allowed their large group to leave the village.
.
"Ahem!" Sandai was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by an ANBU ninja. At the intersection, he stopped Danzo.
Then he lowered his voice and said: "Duanzo, sending troops at this time will definitely cause a chain reaction and destroy the balance between the forces of all parties. Have you considered this issue?"
Danzo sneered: "Hiruzen, put away your hypocritical face. What does the ninja world need? You have been the Hokage for forty years and have never understood. What the ninja world needs is iron blood and strength! Rely on
Negotiation will never lead to peace."
"Danzo, you will regret it."
"Haha, Hiruzen, I am the Hokage!"
After the classic dialogue was completed, the 4:05 Fifth Generation Hokage and Mr. Shimura Danzo waved their hands, and the large army quickly left Konoha Village.
...
After deceiving Danzo and his cronies away, the Third Hokage immediately went to work. Messengers kept going back and forth between the village and the border. As a representative of the three Ino, Shika and Butterfly families who were friendly with Gaara, Shikaku went there twice in person.
The last time, Jiraiya personally took action and bulldozed half of the mountain before reaching an agreement with Ebizo. The two ninja villages reaffirmed their unbreakable alliance, and then Sunagakure Village retreated.
Sunagakure Village went back to lick its wounds, and the fifth generation election in Konoha has reached the most critical moment.
The Third Hokage threw aside the Daimyo's order. He usually cared about this, but now that he was about to die, the village must be more important. Some formal things could be made up for by future generations. Political figures were least afraid of personal grudges.
The Third Generation had been following the rules all his life, but before he died, he broke the rules. Danzo had been playing the rules all his life. At this critical moment, he wanted to follow the rules, but was tricked by the Third Generation.
Taking advantage of Danzo's absence in the village, the Third Hokage sacrificed his last bit of face in exchange for the firm support of Koharu and Mito Kaden, who had moved to another dormitory. He also exchanged interests with many ninja clans in exchange for the ninja clan's support for the new Hokage.
Approval.
He finally convinced Jiraiya on the grounds that Danzo's rise to power would bring disaster to the Leaf Village and the entire ninja world.
After catching up, Jiraiya couldn't explain how he felt. He mechanically took over the hat representing the Hokage and became the fifth generation Hokage in the village.
His teacher was the third generation, and his disciple was the fourth generation. Now it has come full circle, and he has come back to be the fifth generation. For a moment, he felt that his fate was unpredictable. Can a person like him really become Hokage?
Inakacho, Kakashi, and Asuma said he could.
Tsunade said he definitely could.
Naruto even yelled and cheered him up.
Jiraiya felt complicated.
In the afternoon when he took over as Hokage, the Third Hokage told Jiraiya many of the village's secrets.
No one knows exactly what the two said. They only know that during those two hours, Jiraiya's curses didn't stop. He scolded the Sandai and Danzo.
The third Hokage died in the old house of the Sarutobi family on the evening of the second day after Jiraiya took over as Hokage.
Ino said she overestimated one month.
In fact, an old man of this age, especially a ninja with a profession like this, is covered in injuries. Normally, he still has chakra, but he can't tell it. Now, more than half of his soul is missing, most of his organs have failed, and his body can no longer extract chakra. Without checking,
Carat, the accumulated injuries broke out in an instant.
The Third Hokage felt that he had fulfilled his wish by taking away Orochimaru at the last moment and handing over the position of Hokage to Jiraiya.
In fact, he wanted to take Danzo away, but unfortunately his body couldn't hold on any longer.
Jiraiya looked confused, but in fact he was very wise and foolish. The third generation felt that Jiraiya was fully capable of dealing with his old friend.
As soon as the breath that had been hanging on him relaxed, the person left.
