Chapter 1526 Danzo: I support Ningci to be the Hokage

Inside the Hokage's office.

The Hokage's advisors Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and Shimura Danzo were sitting on the sofa, while Jiraiya was leaning against the window with a helpless look on his face.

"After Hiruzen's sacrifice, the Kumogakure and Iwagakure are eyeing the Fire Country covetously. They may use Hiruzen's sacrifice to test the Leaf Village.

We also need a Hokage to immediately deal with the Sand Village's guilt for destroying Konoha, and to begin resisting attempts from other ninja villages.

In Konoha, there is no one more suitable than you, Jiraiya!" Utane Koharu said in a deep voice.

The sacrifice of their old friend Sarutobi Hiruzen certainly made these old friends feel very sad, but Konoha still needed a ninja with both reputation and strength to take over.

In the current Konoha Village, Jiraiya is the only option that meets the requirements in terms of strength and reputation. There are no other choices, so Utatane Koharu proposed that Jiraiya be the Fifth Hokage.

"That's right, Jiraiya, you are the only one suitable for Konoha Village now." Mito Kado En nodded heavily. Only if Jiraiya becomes the fifth Hokage can Konoha be maintained unchanged.

Danzo Shimura took a gloomy look at the Hokage's position in the Hokage's desk and felt very unhappy, but he also knew that he would never be able to sit in this position.

Not to mention Jiraiya, if I were to sit in this position, I'm afraid Hyuga Neji would beat me to death.

At this position...there are actually no extra choices.

He...is too strong.

Danzo Shimura didn't say anything, but glanced at Jiraiya who was leaning against the window with an expressionless face.

Jiraiya glanced at Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and Shimura Danzo, shook his head, and was about to speak when the door of the Hokage's office was opened.

"You are all here, which seems just right." Hyuga Neji walked into the Hokage's office on his own. The Anbu guarding the Hokage's office were unable to stop him and could only look at the Hokage's advisors.

Danzo Shimura waved his hand, asked the Anbu guarding the Hokage's office to go down, and closed the door.

"Hyuga Neji, what are you doing in the Hokage's office? This is not the place you should be." Utatane Koharu scolded rudely.

Mitomon En's attitude wasn't very good either, but he still looked gentle, hinting to Hyuga Neji, "Ningji, did you go the wrong way?"

"You are not in the wrong place. I came here just to tell you that I want to become Hokage." Hyuga Neji said with a calm smile, "I hope you will support me in becoming the fifth Hokage."

Hyuga Neji's words made Utane Koharu and Mitokado En's faces turn pale.

It is true that there are conditions to become Hokage, but it is also true that there are none.

To apply to become Hokage, one needs to be strong enough to be recognized by everyone, and one needs to win the vote of Konoha's jonin. That's basically the rule, but there are many other rules.

For example, in order to gain the recognition of the people of Konoha Village and the majority of Konoha Ninjas, it is necessary to report to the Daimyo and obtain permission from the Ming Dynasty, etc.

Among all these rules, the Hokage must ultimately be strong enough, have a certain degree of fame in Konoha, and be recognized.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En had very unhappy expressions, and Jiraiya also had a strange expression on his face, staring at Hyuga Neji.

If Hyuga Neji ran for Hokage, perhaps many jonin would vote for him.

Because of selling blood and flesh repair pills, Hyuga Neji has a good reputation among Konoha's jonin, and it just so happens that the jonin who can vote are also jonin. In addition, in the Konoha collapse plan, Hyuga Neji, a 50-meter-tall steel giant soldier, forcibly beat the one-tailed beast back into Gaara's body, showing the strength of defeating the tailed beast among many jonin, which can be said to make Konoha ninjas feel safe.

Even though Jiraiya has the reputation of being one of the three great ninjas of Konoha, some jonin would still choose Hyuga Neji.

They didn't think that Hyuga Neji would actually defeat Jiraiya in the election, but they didn't want any surprises.

"We have already decided to let Jiraiya become the fifth Hokage." Utatane Koharu said stiffly, "Hinata Neji, please go back. Perhaps you will have a chance to become the sixth Hokage."

Mizutomon Enya responded in a deep voice.

Jiraiya's voice, which was about to say no, paused for a moment as he couldn't help but think of what Sarutobi Hiruzen had said to him.

"Teacher...is the one you are wary of Hyuga Neji..." Jiraiya murmured in his heart, but he was still unwilling to become Hokage.

He felt that he was not fit to be Hokage.

But...Hinata Neji is not suitable either!

As for why it was not suitable, he couldn't tell the reason in his heart, and he didn't know. He just subconsciously felt that the person who was strongly rejected and guarded by Sarutobi Hiruzen might be the one who caused damage to Konoha Village.

Jiraiya is not familiar with it and does not have the time to become familiar with it, at least he cannot let Hyuga Neji be the Hokage.

"Really? To become Hokage, one does not need to gather the jonin to vote? It is decided by Elder Utane Koharu alone?" Hyuga Neji said indifferently.

Utane Koharu's face turned pale and she was speechless. She stared at Hyuga Neji with a gloomy face.

"Of course not. We, the Hokage advisors, have the right to propose. In the end, the Hokage will be elected through the vote of the jonin." Mitomon En explained to avoid giving people an excuse, "We support Jiraiya because he has a reputation and is supported and recognized by the jonin. Neji, you are not even a chunin, and no one has nominated you to run for the Hokage. For the time being, you are not eligible to run for the Hokage."

Mitomon En spoke gently, with Utane Koharu playing the good cop and the bad cop respectively.

suddenly.

"I nominate Hyuga Neji to be the Hokage and participate in the Hokage election." Danzo Shimura suddenly said.

"Danzo, you..." Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were horrified. They had never expected that Danzo, who was always tough, would actually propose that Hyuga Neji become Hokage. This was not in their interests.

"No, he's not even a Chunin." Mito Kado En protested in a panic.

"He dealt with the tailed beast alone. Our Konoha Village needs a strong person to become Hokage so that we can guard against other ninja villages." Shimura Danzo said coldly: "I am qualified to nominate Hyuga Neji to run for Hokage. Hyuga Neji has the power to surpass the jonin to protect Konoha Village."

Jiraiya's heart tightened as he looked towards Danzo Shimura, only to feel that his teacher's reminder made the situation seem even more serious.

"Okay, there's no need to argue. I won't run for Hokage." Jiraiya said, and even shocked Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En so much that their faces changed drastically. They looked at Jiraiya in disbelief. Jiraiya then said, "Someone is more suitable to be Hokage. I will take Tsunade back. I believe Tsunade is the most suitable person to be Hokage.

Let Tsunade..."

"Okay, let Tsunade and I compete for votes." Hyuga Neji looked at Jiraiya with a faint smile.

Jiraiya's heart tightened, as if he could sense Hyuga Neji's confidence in becoming Hokage.

Why is he so confident?
