Danzo's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Li Chuan's words, and he looked at Li Chuan with much more favorable impressions.
Because he heard some subtext from Li Chuan's words, that is, in the eyes of the daimyo, he, Danzo, is the most suitable person to become Hokage besides the third generation.
Does this mean that once the Hokage dies, the daimyo will support him becoming the Hokage?
"Your Highness the Prince is overly complimentary, but if I stand at the position of Hokage, I will dedicate myself to the entire Fire Country and Konoha without leaving any spare effort."
Danzo's old and gloomy face tried his best to show a smile that looked very kind and sincere.
However, in Li Chuan's eyes, that smile is actually more sinister than not smiling at all. It can only be said that if a person's psychology is too dark, it will really affect his temperament.
"I think so too."
Li Chuan nodded in approval.
Danzo's smile became even brighter:
"If your Highness needs anything in Konoha, you can just come to see me."
After saying that, he looked at Tianzang next to Li Chuan:
"A, your Royal Highness the Prince has a distinguished status, please don't slack off in your work."
"Danzo-sama, my name is no longer A, but Tenzo. Tenzo will not slack off in the work assigned by Hokage-sama."
Tenzo looked at Danzo and replied expressionlessly.
What he means is that he no longer belongs to Gen and is no longer under Danzo's control. The fact that he completed the task seriously is not because of Danzo's orders, but because of the Hokage's instructions.
"Whether it's Kabuto or Tenzo, you are both Konoha's ninjas."
Danzo glanced at Tianzang meaningfully, and then smiled at Li Chuan:
"Your Majesty, please continue to play. I have to take my leave in advance."
Once the third generation dies, Danzo will become Hokage, and Tenzo will still become a ninja under him. This is the subtext he wants to express.
It's just that Tianzang couldn't understand the subtext of this sentence, but Li Chuan knew it clearly in his heart.
However, Li Chuan secretly laughed at Danzo's idea of beauty, because even if the third generation died, Konoha's senior officials and daimyo would not choose him, but Jiraiya. Jiraiya also chose Tsunade.
Danzo is a staunch hawk and will inevitably start a war once he becomes Hokage. The Daimyo and other high-level officials in Konoha are doves like the Third Generation. They prefer the stability and peace of the current situation.
"Kawa, does the daimyo really admire Danzo-sama?"
After Danzo walked away, Tenzo frowned and asked.
After this period of getting along, with Li Chuan's deliberate friendship, and the involvement of Kakashi and Naruto, Li Chuan and Tenzo have become good friends.
Therefore, Tenzo no longer uses honorifics, and just like Kakashi, he calls by his first name in private situations.
"How is it possible? What uncle hates the most is him. He always advocates launching wars and destroying the current peaceful days."
Li Chuan waved his hand and replied without hesitation.
Tianzang was stunned when he heard this:
"What about you just now?"
"Of course I lied to him just now. My uncle told me not to offend all your senior officials when I came to Konoha, so of course I told him what he wanted to hear. This is also a white lie, isn't it?"
Li Chuan laughed.
Tianzang nodded. He was not good at politics, but he roughly understood what Li Chuan was doing.
"By the way, today seems to be the written test for the Chunin Selection Examination. Let's go see if Naruto and the others have passed the test."
Leaving the vicinity of the training ground, Li Chuan and Tian Zang came to the Ninja School, which was the venue for the first written examination.
In fact, in his opinion, Danzo and the Third Generation were not good people.
Danzo is very bad, and the third generation is better than Danzo. Only when he has to make a choice for the benefit of the village will he give up his bottom line and make some cruel choices.
Didn’t the Third Generation know about the bad things Danzo did? He must have known about most of them and had the ability to stop them, but he chose to acquiesce.
But it's normal. In a world like this, as Konoha occupies the best resources in the entire world, if the leader of the Hokage was a purely good person, he would probably have been eaten alive by other villages long ago.
Depending on where you stand, the choices you make will naturally be different.
Unless you are the kind of being from the first generation who can crush the entire ninja world by yourself, then you have the right to choose kindness.
"It seems that the exam has been completed."
When Li Chuan and Tianzang came to the school, they happened to see Naruto and a group of ninjas walking out of the school.
We went up and chatted briefly for a while. There was no surprise. The three of them passed the first written test. Tomorrow they will conduct the second survival test at Training Ground No. 44, known as the Forest of Death.
The second game is a team cooperative death and survival test. Each team will receive a scroll, half of which is a scroll of heaven and half of which is a scroll of earth.
Snatch other people's scrolls, possess both the scrolls of heaven and earth, and pass through the forest of death within five days to reach the tower in the center of the forest, and then you can advance to participate in the preliminary trials.
So at least half of the people will be eliminated in this round.
But these have nothing to do with Li Chuan. The only thing he pays some attention to is Orochimaru disguised as a grass ninja.
Because he had to find Orochimaru to find out where Konoha's forbidden art scrolls were hidden before Konoha's collapse plan happened.
Now he has sneaked all over Konoha. Basically, as long as he knows the location of the forbidden scroll, he can directly apparate to the nearby area and forcefully break in and take it away when Konoha's collapse plan is in chaos.
After the incident of Naruto stealing the forbidden art scroll, Konoha must have placed the scroll elsewhere for preservation, and only a few high-level officials probably know the specific location.
He had thought about finding Danzo, but it was not safe. Whether Danzo was bad or not, he would not necessarily give the forbidden magic in the village to a stranger.
But Orochimaru is different. As an S-level rebel ninja, he wants to destroy Konoha with his own hands. He still cares about forbidden scrolls. As long as the conditions are right, he can naturally negotiate.
But the prerequisite is that you must have the strength to negotiate with him at the negotiating table.
So early the next morning, Li Chuan took Tianzang to the No. 44 training ground.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Anko Mitarai, the examiner of the second round, was explaining the rules of the competition when he suddenly saw Li Chuan and Tenzo approaching. He immediately stopped explaining and hurriedly came over to say hello.
His Royal Highness Prince Li Chuan has been making high-profile appearances in the village for several days, and everyone naturally knows him.
But Hongdou didn't expect Li Chuan to come over now, because according to the arrangement, Li Chuan would not be invited to the tower to visit the preliminary selection until the fifth day later.
"Jōnin Anko, you go first, I'm just here to cheer Naruto and the others up!"
Li Chuan smiled and waved to Naruto and the other three, but when he looked away, he stayed for two more seconds at a ninja wearing grass ninja uniforms in the crowd.
