Chapter 178

Plus, there was Shimura Danzo stirring up trouble from within.

Rather than waiting to be dismissed by the Daimyo, it was better to leave with dignity.

This way, he would still have the qualifications to suggest a candidate for Hokage to the Daimyo.

As long as the Hokage was his disciple, he could continue to exercise the power of the Hokage under the pretext of providing help due to the disciple's lack of experience.

His first choice was Orochimaru.

But Orochimaru declared that he already had new pursuits and was not interested in the position of Hokage.

Then he had to settle for the next best thing and choose Jiraiya.

But Jiraiya said the war on the front lines was tight and he couldn't leave, and it would also delay his research, so he wouldn't do it!

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt helpless and had to look for other candidates.

Originally, Tsunade would have been very suitable, but Tsunade was currently in the Land of Whirlpools, and her life or death was unknown.

In the vast Konoha, they couldn't even find a suitable candidate for Hokage!

Helpless, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire could only let Sarutobi Hiruzen act as Hokage temporarily, and wait until a suitable candidate was found to succeed as the Fourth Hokage.

Shimura Danzo saw suitable people refusing one by one, and he was looking on eagerly, thinking it was finally his turn.

As a result, the Daimyo announced that because there was no suitable candidate for Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen would act as Hokage temporarily?!

What about him?!

Was he not a suitable candidate?!

Was the Daimyo blind!!!

With a bang, Shimura Danzo kicked open the newly built Hokage Office and said angrily: "Sarutobi Hiruzen! Give me a suitable reason!!" ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
