Chapter 93: Naruto, Fight Me Quickly
"Who the hell dares to object? Do you want to go to Root for some electrotherapy?"
Danzo's eyes flashed with a predatory red light. ♦♦ ♦♦
"I and the Hokage are a match made in heaven. Since when is it your turn, you freak, to object?"
Oh, it's Jiraiya. Never mind then.
He looked at Jiraiya with a sour expression and asked, "Do you want to be Hokage too?"
"No, I'm not interested."
Jiraiya shook his head and said, "I just think you're unsuitable."
Being Hokage isn't about fighting; it's about worldly wisdom.
With Danzo's personality, if he became Hokage, he would likely make enemies everywhere.
Besides, he wasn't cut out for it.
Jiraiya had seen his operations clearly over the years; they were even worse than those of his teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"And your reason?"
Danzo glared at him, looking displeased.
Jiraiya didn't care about his gaze at all.
His personality, strength, and status meant he had no reason to fear Danzo.
"When Orochimaru attacked Konoha, where were you and your Root?"
Jiraiya's eyes grew sharp as he questioned him.
He had participated in the battle throughout, but not a single person from Danzo's Root was seen.
Danzo's heart tightened.
This question was indeed fatal.
"Konoha has many secrets. To prevent them from being discovered by Orochimaru, I and the RootNinjas were guarding the perimeter."
He said, thinking quickly.
Theoretically, it made sense.
Orochimaru was one of the former Sannin; he knew Konoha, including many classified things.
Jiraiya snorted, too lazy to say more, and asked, "What about the opinions of the two Advisors?"
Homura Mitokado adjusted his glasses and said, "Jiraiya, you are the most suitable to be Hokage, but since you've refused, do you have another candidate besides Danzo?"
Utatane Koharu didn't speak but nodded in agreement.
They were grasshoppers on the same string, their opinions quite consistent.
Like Jiraiya, they opposed Danzo becoming Hokage.
First, Danzo was old; second, they knew him too well.
Danzo becoming Hokage would be an unimaginable disaster.
"..."
Those two old dogs!
Danzo clenched his fists.
If he hadn't retained his sanity, he would have wanted to reveal his Sharingan and go on a killing spree.
But killing them and becoming Hokage would be useless.
He couldn't just be a commander with no troops.
"Tsunade."
Jiraiya said without hesitation.
In terms of qualifications, Tsunade was more suitable than any Ninja currently in Konoha.
She was the granddaughter of the First HokageHashirama Senju and the disciple of the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
There was absolutely no problem with her status.
Not to mention her strength and contributions.
She was the one who advocated for adding medical Ninjas to the four-man Ninja squads.
She was one of the legendary Sannin, a master of medicine, and a super healer.
She was trustworthy.
"But she's been away for years, and we can't find her trace easily."
Homura Mitokado frowned and said.
Naturally, they wouldn't object to Tsunade.
"I'll go find her."
Jiraiya continued, "I already know where she is. I can bring her back in a few days."
"In that case, we'll wait until Tsunade returns."
Homura Mitokado nodded and said, "We will first report this to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and request assistance."
There are three procedures for becoming Hokage.
First, Konoha decides on a candidate.
Second, the Land of Fire Daimyo agrees.
Third, the Jonin vote.
Tsunade had almost a 100% chance.
With her prestige, the Jonin vote would definitely pass.
Danzo abruptly flicked his sleeves and left the meeting in anger.
"I'm furious! I want to be Hokage!"
At the Root base.
Danzo picked up anything in sight and smashed it.
The noise immediately brought in his guards—Fu Yamanaka, Aburame Torune, Sai, and others.
"I'm fine."
Danzo was a bit tired from smashing things.
He slumped into a wooden chair.
"Lord Danzo?"
Fu Yamanaka asked tentatively, "What happened?"
Danzo scanned the people in front of him, looking thoughtful.
He had once sent Yamato to assassinate Hiruzen Sarutobi, but it failed because of Kakashi's betrayal.
Since you want Tsunade to be Hokage, then I'll just go all out... A moment later, a round of flattery came from the Root base.
"Brilliant insight, Commander!"
Meanwhile, after the Jonin left, Homura Mitokadoand Utatane Koharu stopped Jiraiya.
"There's something we didn't tell the others. Actually, the Daimyo's envoy is already in Konoha."
"Because of the Chunin Exams?"
"No."
Homura Mitokado said solemnly, "The Land of Firehas encountered major trouble recently, so we must restore order in Konoha as soon as possible."
...In the hospital room.
Karin and Sakura were unusually quiet.
After all, they couldn't disturb the patient.
Sasuke was thinking about his eyes.
Before he fainted, something seemed to have gone wrong with his eyes.
He clearly remembered how he felt at that time.
Just like when he activated Magical Girl Mode, there was a sense of power as if the world was in his hands.
"Is there a mirror?"
Sasuke asked.
Sakura quickly took out a small pink mirror and handed it to Sasuke, saying, "Sasuke-kun, don't worry, you're not disfigured at all. You're just as handsome as before!"
Sasuke ignored her.
He picked up the mirror, looked at his eyes, and recalled the feeling from yesterday.
Activate!
Black and red spun rapidly.
Finally, they formed a pair of six-pointed star Mangekyo Sharingan.
It really wasn't an illusion!
This power... strong, so powerful!
He felt that he could be described in one word right now: invincible!
So this was why Itachi Uchiha was so strong.
Sasuke couldn't help but laugh wildly.
"..."
Naruto twitched the corner of his mouth.
What the hell are you laughing at!
The rain stopped, the sky cleared, and you think you're hot stuff again.
No wonder he went to fight Killer Bee and charged into the Five Kage Summit right after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Ridiculous.
Who gave you the courage?
Fish Leong?
The Raikage alone almost killed Sasuke, let alone a ruthless person like Ōnoki.
"I heard Master Jiraiya say that these eyes of yours are called the Mangekyo Sharingan, a higher level than the Three-Tomoe Sharingan."
Naruto brought up Jiraiya.
Anyway, Sasuke probably wouldn't bother to go and check with him.
"Who is Jiraiya?"
Sasuke didn't know Jiraiya.
Since he was a child, he only had Itachi Uchiha in his head.
"Jiraiya is one of the legendary Sannin and the disciple of the Third Hokage."
Naruto explained casually.
Actually, in the original work, Naruto didn't know Jiraiya either.
"He told me that the Mangekyo Sharinganawakens two exceptionally powerful ocular techniques."
"Ocular Techniques?"
Sasuke was slightly taken aback, then closed his eyes. As he quieted down, he perceived the information within his eyes.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.
The three-year period is up; the Dragon King returns!
My chance to turn things around has come!
"Naruto, fight me quickly! I will surely defeat you!"
"..."
Naruto felt exhausted.
You want to fight me, and your brother wants to fight me.
Why don't you two just double-team me?
