Naruto: The Traitor Starting from Uzumaki Kushina

The current situation has put Sarutobi Hiruzen in a difficult position, not to mention Utane Koharu and Mitomon En.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Chiyu with a serious look.

Chiyu is no longer a person they can manipulate. The fully-fledged Chiyu has escaped the control of all of them, and the doubts and attacks on Chiyu can no longer be ignored.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Danzo beside him.

Danzo also saw Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

Danzo's hands clenched into fists, and his expression gradually became resentful.

The meaning of Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes is very clear.

Let him solve the problems he created.

But if he wants to calm down the situation now, he has to agree to Chiba's conditions.

It is impossible to disband the Root, and the position of Hokage's assistant...

Just to disgust Chiba, he gave up the position of Hokage's assistant. Isn't it too much of a loss?

But the position of Hokage's assistant is gone, and his real power comes from the Root. Even if he loses this title, he can still exercise the right of Hokage's assistant.

And with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En, the position of Hokage's assistant can be taken back at any time.

But Danzo is still unwilling in his heart. Why should he bear it alone!

But in this situation, he has to accept it even if he doesn't want to.

Danzo took a deep breath and announced, "Regarding Chiyu, I just have suspicions, and I have no substantial evidence. I was not rigorous today. I have been the Hokage's assistant for a long time. Today I will announce my resignation and give this position to a talented young man."

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately agreed, "Since Danzo has chosen to take the initiative to resign from the position of Hokage's assistant and is willing to give this position to a talented young man, then it couldn't be better. This matter is over, and we will return to this meeting to discuss the successor to the next Hokage!"

Danzo, Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En sat down.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not sit down immediately, but looked at Chiyu who was still standing.

Chiyu smiled and said, "Since the Sandaime said that this is over, then I naturally have nothing to say. After all, I am just an ordinary ninja in Konoha who has little say."

Chiyu sat back in her seat.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Chiba with deep eyes and sat back in his seat.

All the ninja clan leaders present breathed a sigh of relief.

Chiba's tense look just now almost made them think that Chiba would take action.

When they heard Chiba say that he had little influence, they all curled their lips.

What do you mean by little influence?

He dared to confront the Konoha high-level officials directly, and forced Danzo, the assistant of Hokage, to compromise and resign from the position of assistant of Hokage.

Everyone present knew that the real reason why Chiba dared to be so tough was due to his strength.

The law of the jungle is the law of survival in the ninja world.

Otherwise, if Chiba only had reputation but no strength, would Chiba dare to speak to these high-level officials like this? Would Danzo compromise like this?

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Nara Shikaku.

Nara Shikaku immediately understood that this was for him to start the next topic.

Nara Shikaku suggested: "Why not entrust it to the ninja of the generation after Minato."

In fact, Nara Shikaku had Senba in mind at the beginning.

After all, the most suitable candidate to become Hokage now is Senba in Konoha.

But after what happened just now, it is impossible to choose Senba, and Sarutobi Hiruzen and others will not choose Senba to become the fifth generation Hokage.

Similarly, Orochimaru is impossible.

And... Nara Shikaku also saw the real intention of Sarutobi Hiruzen to start this meeting.

The ninja of the generation after Namikaze Minato is the ninja of Kakashi's generation. No ninja of this generation is qualified to become the fifth generation ninja.

Because they are too young and not qualified enough.

As Nara Shikaku guessed, Utatane Koharu immediately said, "Although there are excellent jonin among them, it is undeniable that their experience is not enough to lead everyone."

Nara Shikaku immediately asked, "Then, who else can it be?"

Danzo's eyes flashed, isn't this a great opportunity?

He just stepped down as the Hokage's assistant and just happened to succeed the Hokage.

And the reason for the succession is that he is familiar with everything about the Hokage and can get started right away.

However, Danzo is a little worried that if Chiyu uses the previous incident to pressure him

It's very troublesome.

Danzo didn't know what kind of meeting Sarutobi Hiruzen called everyone to hold this time, so when he heard that the Fifth Hokage was going to be selected, Danzo immediately challenged Chiba to hold him accountable.

Because Danzo also knew that Chiba was the most qualified candidate for the Fifth Hokage with sufficient qualifications and strength, no one else.

Now even Orochimaru can't compare with Chiba.

If he had known that Nara Shikaku would make such a proposal, Danzo would not have challenged Chiba to hold him accountable.

Now Danzo feels like he has shot himself in the foot.

But Danzo will no longer have to worry about it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up again and recommended himself: "It is a last resort. This is an extraordinary period. I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, am willing to take on this important task."

Mito Kado En immediately said: "You are willing to come out."

Utatane Koharu also echoed: "Since you are willing to agree..."

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in disbelief. He could see that Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En were playing together again without him!

This meeting was just a formality for Sarutobi Hiruzen to succeed as Hokage again.

Then what about him holding Chiyu accountable for preventing Chiyu from becoming the Fifth Hokage?

Is he a fool?

He was isolated every time. Why? !

Danzo suppressed his anger and interrupted Utatane Koharu, questioning Sarutobi Hiruzen: "You once gave up the position of Hokage. Are you really capable of it?"

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with sharp eyes and continued: "In fact, although you rushed to the scene of the Nine-Tails' rebellion, you were blocked outside by the barrier and did not play any role!"

Mito Kado En said dissatisfiedly: "Danzo, you are too much! Hiruzen couldn't do anything at that time."

Utatane Koharu also questioned: "At that time, where were you, Danzo..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted: "Koharu!"

He just revealed this matter, and now Utatane Koharu brought it up again. Isn't this making things difficult for him?

If I had known earlier, I would have told Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En about the Uchiha clan before coming here.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Chiyu secretly and found that Chiyu had a mocking smile on his face and looked at them like a clown.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's dissatisfaction with Chiyu became deeper and deeper.

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed heartily and said, "I am an old man who overestimates my own abilities. I think I am just a transition until the next Hokage grows up. Is this okay?"

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen unwillingly, his teeth were broken.

He got nothing, and wasted his position as the Hokage's assistant.
