Chapter 77

Daring to be so unscrupulous at the Fourth Hokage selection meeting would definitely be dealt with seriously.

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 Senju Senju Senju Xingye, and they didn't even dare to let out a fart; this was a super big shot who couldn't be offended, and their clans still owed the Senju of the Forest a large loan.

Of course.

Persimmons should be picked by their softest part.

Since they couldn't touch the hard nut Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye, the proud Uchiha clan set their target on the disabled Danzo Shimura.

"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 list of candidates 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—"

"Who does this Danzo Shimura think he is?"

"He was beaten up on the Hidden Cloud battlefield, begged for support like a dog, and even had his hand cut off and eyes blinded by the Third Raikage, causing our army to suffer heavy losses."

"We are not convinced by letting this piece of trash enter the list of candidates 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 had Jonin-level combat power.

These Uchiha Jonin gathered together.

Were also a force not to be underestimated; the strength of the major clans of the Hidden Leaf was evident.

On the other hand.

Hearing these Uchiha Jonin clamoring wildly.

Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi, 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, and it had been repeatedly confirmed that they were all connected people.

As a result.

Now the Uchiha jumped out to oppose it.

Wasn't this slapping them hard in the face in front of all the Hidden Leaf ninja, saying that they were opening the back door for Danzo Shimura?

"Master Tobirama was indeed right."

"These evil Uchiha!"

Danzo Shimura thought indignantly in his heart.

When he thought of Master Tobirama, he would say "evil Uchiha".

When he thought of Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye, he would change his words to "evil Senju of the Forest".

This guy.

Was really a qualified face-changer.

If it were Danzo Shimura in his prime, even if the Uchiha clan were very arrogant, they wouldn't dare to clash with him head-on; after all, the power of the 'Root' was not weak.

However.

Now that the tiger had fallen to the plains, he was bullied by dogs.

The 'Root' ninja numbered less than a hundred, not even as good as some medium-sized clans, let alone the Uchiha, who were a major clan.

Even the leader, Danzo Shimura, had been beaten into a disabled person.

The Uchiha Jonin looked down on him even more.

"If the Third Hokage doesn't give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public today."

Fugaku Uchiha said slowly.

The provocation by those Uchiha Jonin was, if anything, exactly what he wanted.

Although.

He knew the hope was slim.

However, as long as he could be included in the list of candidates for the Fourth Hokage, there was still a glimmer of hope.

If Danzo Shimura could get on the list, why couldn't I, Fugaku Uchiha? Just because he's a disabled person, does he get a disability discount?

Either.

Kick Danzo Shimura out.

Or.

Add my name, Fugaku Uchiha, to it.

Once he added his name, the head of the Hyuga clan would probably join in the fun, just for the sake of novelty; what if it succeeded?

"Damn your grandfather, Uchiha."

Danzo Shimura was furious.

Originally, he was looking forward to being able to carry out a grand reform after becoming Hokage.

Kicking the Senju of the Forest, punching the Uchiha, and taming the Hyuga clan.

Through diligent governance, he would unify the ninja world.

As a result.

His beautiful dream hadn't even started.

Before it even reached the voting stage, he heard these Uchiha Jonin clamoring wildly, which made Danzo's liver ache.

These ambitious Uchiha are simply too vicious; once I inherit the position of Hokage in the future, I must cut the weeds and dig up the roots, and completely destroy this clan. All of this is for the sake of the Hidden Leaf!

"........"

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye watched the excitement silently.

The Uchiha clan was thinking too much; what their ancestor Madara Uchiha did.

Had already determined.

That the Uchiha clan.

Had no chance of competing for the position of Hokage.

Coupled with the radical policies of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, the Uchiha clan was strictly guarded against by successive Hokage.

Still wanting to be Hokage? It's good enough that your freedom isn't restricted; Itachi'd better wash up and go to sleep early.

"I withdraw."

Finally.

Danzo Shimura had no choice but 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 in the future, he would definitely take revenge tenfold.

"Then I have no other opinions."

Fugaku Uchiha 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 Uchiha Jonin, and at the same time 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.

Itachi, Danzo Shimura, a disabled quasi-Kage, why are Itachi joining in the fun? Itachi'd better wash up and go to sleep early.
