Danzo's answer stunned the third generation and the two advisors at the same time.
They thought it would be one of the cadres of the Roots, Aburame Ryoma, Aburame Takene and Yamabaze, but they did not expect that it would be the third generation's new disciple Yuankawa.
This answer immediately caught them off guard.
"Of course I'm not joking. In terms of status, he is your fourth disciple in three generations and the prince of the Fire Country.
In terms of contribution, he saved three generations of you and a large number of ninjas and villagers in the village during Orochimaru and Suna Ninja's Konoha collapse plan.
In terms of strength, he developed a new sage mode on his own, severely injured Kirikage's S-class rebel ninja Kisame, and defeated Uchiha Itachi. You should be very aware of Itachi's strength.
I think except for Jiraiya and Tsunade, everyone else on this list seems to be inferior to him!"
Danzō's words are precise.
After going to bed, Xiaochun frowned when he heard this:
"That's true, but Yuanchuan is from the daimyo side after all. If he becomes Hokage, I'm afraid that the internal affairs of Konoha will be affected by the daimyo. This is not in the interest of the village."
"Wrong, I think your structure is too small. Maybe he was a daimyo before, but if he becomes Hokage and his status is equal to that of the daimyo, how can he be controlled by the daimyo again.
And if he becomes Hokage, the daimyo will have a better impression of the village and will allocate more funds to the village. The relationship between the village and the daimyo will become better, which is a good thing.
Besides, we consultants are still looking after him. If he really doesn’t care about the village, I think it won’t be too late to replace him.”
Danzo turned his attention to Koharu and Mito Monobu, and reminded him meaningfully:
"As Konoha consultants, don't we have to give good advice to the Hokage-sama and correct their mistakes, otherwise there will be no value in existence?"
Danzo's meaning is obvious. Yuanchuan may be related to the daimyo, but after he becomes Hokage, the value and rights of their advisors can be realized.
If the third generation chooses his person to be the Hokage, and the third generation is the former Hokage and the current advisor, plus the fifth generation Hokage, the two of them are inseparable, and what is the matter with their three advisors.
Koharu and Mito Kadoyan, who were sleeping in the dormitory, were also two old foxes. When Danzo said this, they immediately understood his intention, and then immediately changed their words:
"What Danzo said does make sense. I think adding Yuan Chuan as the candidate for Hokage is indeed very reasonable."
Marokawa is the fourth disciple of the Third Generation, which is good, but it is only in name only. There is no way that the two of them have a deep relationship. He is also the nephew of the Daimyo, and it seems that he has some relationship with Danzo at present.
It seems to be more in the interests of both of them that such a person becomes Hokage.
It's not that they don't love the village, but it's reasonable to seek their own interests while loving the village.
The third generation looked at Danzo, then at Koharu and Mito Monobu, then took a puff from the pipe, thought for about three seconds, and replied with a smile:
"What you said makes sense, then let's add Yuan Chuan."
How could he not see the reason for the sudden change of attitude of the two advisors, but that was not important, because even if Yuan Chuan was added to the Hokage candidate list, the final decision was still in his hands.
Yuanchuan is indeed qualified to run for the position of Hokage, but those others are no worse than Yuanchuan, especially Jiraiya and Tsunade, the two legendary Sannin, whose achievements and reputation are overwhelming.
What really made him think was whether Danzo pushed Yuangawa up to make him feel bad, or whether there really was some secret between the two of them that he didn't know about.
He picked up the pen on the table and added the word Yuanchuan to the end of the list. The third generation called the ninja standing at the door and gave instructions:
"Post this list on the village bulletin board."
Although the decision-making power of the new Hokage is in the hands of the previous Hokage, it does not mean that the third generation can choose whoever he wants. For example, if he chooses Naruto to take over as the fifth Hokage, the whole village will explode immediately.
Therefore, the selection of the new Hokage is nominally based on the model of becoming Hokage in the first generation.
Back then, the first Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara led the major families to jointly establish the first ninja village of Konoha. When determining the candidate for the first Hokage, Hashirama originally planned to let Madara be the first Hokage.
However, his younger brother Tobirama proposed to let all family members vote to choose the first Hokage, otherwise he would not be able to convince the public.
So Hashirama with the highest number of votes became the first Hokage.
Hashirama died after fighting Madara in the Valley of the End, and Tobirama became Hokage. This was also the result of the vote of the major families.
Of course, by that time Tobirama had already won over all the families except Uchiha to his side.
When it came to the third generation of Hokage, because it was during the war, and the second generation used his own life to hold back the enemy and passed the Hokage to the third generation, the third generation directly skipped the voting and won the position of Hokage.
By the fourth generation, it’s back to voting.
But in addition to Minato, the Hokage candidates also include Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, the famous Sannin.
However, Tsunade left the village and Jiraiya gave up on his own initiative, leaving Minato and Orochimaru to compete.
And the third generation finally chose Minato. With the support of the third generation, the families who followed the third generation will naturally vote for Minato. In the end, Minato's votes will definitely far exceed Orochimaru's.
The reason why Hokage has the right to decide when choosing his successor is because he can get most of the families in Konoha to vote for the successor he chooses.
Therefore, in essence, under normal circumstances, the selection of Konoha Hokage is still based on the one with the most votes.
Now the list of candidates for the Fifth Hokage is announced to the entire Konoha Village ninjas and villagers, and subsequent voting will be based on this list of candidates.
The reason why Danzo was so angry before was that his name was not on the list of candidates, so he didn't even have a chance to be voted for.
If he is on the list, he can also mobilize the small number of families in the village that support him and lobby other families to support him, and there is a one in ten thousand chance of getting the most votes.
"This guy Danzo is quite capable!"
Under the Hokage Rock, Li Chuan looked at the list of Hokage candidates on the bulletin board, smiled and touched his chin.ωωw..net
In fact, he was not completely sure whether Danzo would help him.
But it doesn't matter, he has several backup plans anyway, but this is the best result now, and it is a good choice for everyone.
Because if the backup plan is activated, unhappy scenarios will inevitably occur.
For example, kidnapping three generations, forcibly stealing the secrets of major families, and taking down the entire Konoha by force, these are actually not too difficult for Li Chuan with his current strength.
