Kakashi was shocked when he heard Tsunade's words. Isn't this a bit too serious? Mentioning rogue ninja at every turn, this was not a joke.
"Lady Tsunade, isn't this a bit too serious? Is there really a need for that?"
Kakashi was somewhat confused, because this was too big of a matter.
"If that guy tries to run away at this moment, I'll gladly kill him personally. What is the situation now? He is still hiding there like a stinking rat. I won't even mention all the disgusting things he usually does, but when it matters most, he contributes nothing. He dreams all day about the position of Hokage, yet he is just a useless thing that can't even stand on the proper stage."
Tsunade was also angry in this urgent situation.
At that moment, Jiraiya appeared. After all, since the Nine-Tails had been captured, Jiraiya knew who its jinchuriki was and immediately returned, but he did not expect to find such a scene.
"Tsunade, what exactly is going on?"
Jiraiya's eyes widened, full of disbelief, because the situation here was somewhat terrifying.
Or rather, he had never imagined such a scene. He simply could not understand what had happened to the village.
Tsunade did not waste time and immediately explained it to him.
Jiraiya's face was completely shocked after hearing everything. What the hell is this? Why would such a monster appear in this world? Then he suddenly snapped and quickly spoke.
"And Naruto?"
"Didn't you go to save him?"
Tsunade also snapped when she heard that. Yes, I went to save him.
And the expressions of the people around them were not good, as if they had lost the main person.
Jiraiya saw these people looking confused and somewhat ashamed, and his jaw dropped.
"You didn't forget about him, did you?"
Jiraiya at this moment did not know what to say. After all, they were supposed to save someone, and in the end, they lost him. Can that still be called saving?
Or rather, in that situation they could have directly brought him back.
"I think it's actually good that we left him there. After all, the situation here is not good right now. If we bring him back, it could lead to danger, because there is no strength to protect him. And that place is where the opponent resides."
Raiden Ei thought that it was actually good that they did not bring him back. After all, everything here is in chaos, and a large battle could break out. So it is better for the two of them to stay there. It should be known that if a great war that affects the entire human world breaks out, if the two of them die, no one will be able to save them.
Although Jiraiya felt that there were problems, he thought about it and still nodded. After all, this was indeed the best method.
The main thing was that if that monster was really that powerful, there would be nowhere to escape anyway.
"Kakashi, quickly go and tell Danzo to bring out all his combat power. This time hiding will not help him, because if we lose, he will be buried together with us."
"Yes!"
Kakashi immediately went to find Danzo.
Meanwhile, Danzo was hiding in his sewer-like place. When he discovered that the terrifying aura had disappeared, he immediately sent people to investigate. After receiving the results, his eyes were full of disbelief.
"You said that Hiruzen and Koharu are dead, and that almost all the people from our families are dead?"
"Yes!"
The ninja who was reporting knelt down and nodded, then raised his head and continued speaking.
"And not only that, but all the great families have suffered heavy losses, and many, many people in Konoha village have died."
"And what about the person who destroyed this place?"
"I'm not sure. I searched around, but I didn't see anyone, nor did I feel any strong aura. I assume he left."
Danzo also let out a sigh of relief when he heard that. If he encountered someone who could destroy Konoha like this in such a short time, he would definitely die.
Danzo sighed.
"I didn't expect, Hiruzen, that you would die like this, and you too, Koharu."
"To think that you would all die like this."
Because of the deaths of his old comrades and rival-friends, Danzo was for a moment full of emotion, showing sincere feelings.
Immediately after that mourning, an excited expression appeared on his face, and he began to laugh.
"Ahahaha, in this situation, there shouldn't be anyone who can stop me from becoming the Fifth Hokage!"
Danzo harbored resentment over this matter and had always wanted to achieve it.
Previously there were various factors preventing him, but now, no one can stop him, right?
Thinking about it, his heart was filled with excitement. He completely ignored the monster and everything else for now, because nothing was more important than him becoming Hokage.
Just as he was thinking about whether to go out and take control of the situation, Kakashi arrived.
"Lord Danzo, Kakashi requests an audience."
At that moment, a Root ninja came in to report.
Danzo thought for a moment when he heard that, probably imagining that the other side had come to ask him to come out of seclusion. After all, in this situation, who else could take control besides him? He was even a bit excited thinking about it, but still tried to look calm.
"Let him in."
After Kakashi entered, he knelt according to tradition, and then quickly spoke.
"Elder Danzo, Lady Tsunade requests your presence."
Danzo slightly frowned when he heard that, because he suddenly remembered that if he wanted to inherit the position of Hokage, there was still a Sannin there, especially Tsunade, who was the most troublesome.
At this moment, Danzo was not thinking at all about the real reason they were looking for him, but was only thinking every day about the position of Hokage.
However, he also realized that he had to go out at this moment.
"Let's go, this old man will go."
Danzo walked while preparing a speech in his head about how to take the position under the guise of justice. However, when he arrived, he discovered that the scene was a bit different from what he had imagined. The main thing was the atmosphere, the traces, and the bloodstains around. As if a huge battle had just taken place.
Tsunade slightly frowned when she saw him.
"Danzo."
Tsunade still greeted him, and he nodded.
"What is the situation in the village now? Also, this old man has heard that Hiruzen has already died in battle. We must choose a leader at this moment, otherwise the village will become even more chaotic."
Danzo immediately brought up his intention to choose a Hokage, and he spoke many words with a tone of righteousness.
Tsunade and Jiraiya both frowned when they heard that.
Saying such things at a moment like this, is this person crazy? Or does he not understand the bigger picture? Those were their thoughts.
Although Tsunade was mentally prepared, knowing what kind of person this guy was, she still couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows when she heard these words.
"Now is not the time to talk about those things. You see Konoha village destroyed like this. That monster is still alive, and it has entered a state of rage or loss of control. It won't be long before it returns after the massacre. What we need to do now is find a way to resist and survive."
"Hokage? This time, whether we will even stay alive is another question."
Tsunade immediately attacked him with words.
"I want to ask you, you who are so obsessed with becoming Hokage, where were you when the Hokage died in battle?"
"As Hokage, you should be on the front line when the village is attacked."
After joining the Chat Group, Tsunade understood many things, and honestly, she had no intention of tolerating him. You want to become Hokage?
But where were you? As soon as these words came out, the other party's face drastically changed, and he angrily shouted: "Insolence!"
After all, what Tsunade said was the truth, and the people around him were also looking at him with contempt. He wanted to become Hokage, but he did not contribute.
Danzo immediately angrily retorted.
"I am an Elder. Even if you are a Sannin, you have no right to address me in that way."
"This old man is the leader of Root. Unlike Hiruzen, I must act from the shadows."
