Chapter 152
Daring to be so unscrupulous at the Fourth Hokage selection meeting would definitely be dealt with severely.
However, when everyone looked in the direction of the sneer.
The person sitting there was none other than the clan leader of the Senju of the Forest—Senju Xingye; they immediately didn't even dare to let out a fart. This was a super big shot, not someone they could afford to offend; their clans still owed the Senju of the Forest a large loan.
Of course.
Persimmons should still be picked by the soft ones.
They couldn't pick on the hard nut that was Senju Xingye, so the proud Uchiha clan set their target on the disabled Shimura Danzo.
"Lord Hokage! I have an objection!"
"In this ninja world war, our Uchiha clan went through fire and water."
"Why was our clan leader, Lord Fugaku, unable to enter the selection list for the Fourth Hokage?"
"Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Lord Minato are fine; they are all people who have made great achievements on the battlefield, and everyone is convinced by their inclusion on the list."
"However—"
"What kind of onion is this Shimura Danzo?"
"He was beaten up directly on the Kumogakure battlefield, begged for support like a dog, and was even blinded and had his arm broken by the Third Raikage, causing our army to suffer heavy losses."
"We are not convinced by letting this waste enter the selection list for the Fourth Hokage!"
"That's right! Not convinced!"
"......."
It must be admitted.
Although the current Uchiha clan had not yet produced a Kage-level powerhouse.
However, due to the existence of the Kekkei Genkai Sharingan, the number of Jonin in their clan was not small at all; almost everyone who opened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan possessed Jonin-level combat power.
These Uchiha Jonin gathered together.
Were also a force not to be underestimated; the strength of a great Konoha clan could be seen from this.
On the other hand.
Hearing these few Uchiha Jonin clamoring wildly.
Shimura Danzo, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was usually relatively gentle, had their faces turn black instantly.
This list of candidates for the Fourth Hokage.
Was naturally cooked up internally by them; it had been repeatedly confirmed, and they were all connected people.
As a result.
Now the Uchiha jumped out to oppose it.
Wasn't this slapping their faces heavily in front of all the Konoha ninjas, saying that they were opening the back door for Shimura Danzo?
"Master Tobirama was indeed right."
"These evil Uchiha!"
Shimura Danzo thought indignantly in his heart.
When he thought of Master Tobirama, he would say 'evil Uchiha'.
When he thought of Senju Xingye, he would change his words to 'evil Senju of the Forest'.
This guy.
Was truly a qualified face-changer.
If it were Shimura Danzo in his prime, even if the Uchiha clan were very arrogant, they wouldn't dare to have a direct conflict with him; after all, the power of 'Root' was not weak.
However.
Now he was a tiger fallen on flat ground being bullied by dogs.
The ninjas of 'Root' were fewer than a hundred, not even as good as some medium-sized clans, let alone the Uchiha, who were a great clan.
Even the leader, Shimura Danzo, had been beaten into a disabled person.
The Uchiha Jonin didn't even put him in their eyes anymore.
"If Lord Third doesn't give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid it will be hard to convince the public today."
Uchiha Fugaku spoke slowly.
The provocation by those Uchiha Jonin was, if anything, exactly what he wanted.
Although.
He knew the hope was very slim.
However, as long as he could be listed on the selection list for the Fourth Hokage, there was still a glimmer of hope.
Shimura Danzo could get on the list, why couldn't I, Uchiha Fugaku? Just because he is a disabled person, can he get a disability discount?
Either.
Kick Shimura Danzo out.
Or.
Add my name, Uchiha Fugaku, to it.
Once he added his name, the Hyuga clan leader would probably join in the fun too, just for the novelty; what if it succeeded?
"Damn your grandfather, Uchiha."
Shimura Danzo was furious.
Originally, he was looking forward to being able to carry out a major reform after becoming Hokage.
Kicking the Senju of the Forest, punching the Uchiha, and taming the Hyuga clan.
Through diligent governance, unifying the ninja world.
As a result.
His beautiful dream hadn't even started yet.
He hadn't even reached the voting stage, and he heard these few Uchiha Jonin clamoring wildly, which made Danzo's liver ache with anger.
These ambitious Uchiha clans were simply too vicious; once he inherited the position of Hokage in the future, he would definitely have to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, and completely destroy this clan; all of this was for Konoha!
"........"
Senju Xingye watched the excitement silently.
The Uchiha clan was thinking too much; what their ancestor Uchiha Madara did.
Had already destined.
That the Uchiha clan.
Had no chance of competing for the position of Hokage.
Coupled with the radical policies of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, which led to the Uchiha clan being strictly guarded against by every generation of Hokage.
Still wanting to be Hokage? It's good enough that your freedom isn't restricted; you'd better wash up and go to sleep early.
"I withdraw."
In the end.
Shimura Danzo had to painfully give up his Hokage dream.
And voluntarily withdrew from this selection for the Fourth Hokage.
However, this grudge.
He still kept in his heart, and he would definitely take double revenge in the future.
"Then I have no other objections."
Uchiha Fugaku also saw the displeasure on the faces of the high-level officials.
After achieving his goal and disgusting the other party.
He also stopped the behavior of those few Uchiha Jonin, and also indicated that he had no intention of being Hokage, just that he didn't want some cats and dogs to mix in.
Hokage.
Naturally, one must have at least Kage-level strength.
You, Shimura Danzo, a disabled quasi-Kage, why are you joining in the fun? Why don't you wash up and go to sleep early.
