I just want to be lazy, I was forced to become Hokage

Hokage Building.

"News came from the front line of the Land of Rain. Iwagakure took the initiative to cease the war, and Sunagakure followed closely."

Sarutobi Hiruzen threw the information scroll in his hand on the table and looked at the other three old friends.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the war should be completely over."

The time efficiency for Konoha to learn intelligence information is no better than that of Kirigakure who personally sent many messengers.

But with the existence of "Psychic Technique", Konoha's time to get reactions from other villages is not too slow.

Now that Kirigakure is actively seeking peace, Iwagakure immediately ceases the war, and Sunagakure follows suit.

Konoha's external war situation can be described as very good.

As for the only Yunyin Village...

Who doesn't know that Yunyin's side was completely "misfired" after the previous battle in Tang Country?

Strictly speaking, Kumogakure's "truce" time was earlier than Kirigakure!

The four senior Konoha officials present here all knew about the situation on Kumogakure's side, but they all wisely ignored the topic related to Kumogakure.

Because once it comes to Yunyin Village, the dark shadow who is currently "stationed" in name but actually "isolated" to Tang Country is the core figure that cannot be avoided no matter what.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know how to face or deal with such a hard-working Konoha genius - no, he should be said to be a Konoha legend now...

Just treat it coldly!

"It's just the end of the war under the sun."

Danzo Shimura's tone was very cold, and he didn't seem happy at all about the Third Ninja War that was about to end.

"The friction and opposition in the darkness will never stop."

"Duanzo, your thoughts are too dark."

After turning to bed, Koharu glanced at Shimura Danzo, who saw that most of the latter's body was still wrapped in bandages.

"The war will be over soon, we should all relax."

You idiot!

Shimura Danzo glanced at Koharu who was sleeping, and a trace of deeply hidden contempt flashed in his eyes.

To be honest, he doesn't think much of Koharu and Mito Monobu, even though they were teammates for a period of time when they were young.

In Danzo Shimura's opinion, Mitomon En and Koharu, like Hiruzen, have been bathing in the sun for too long and have forgotten what a dark and heavy profession a ninja is.

Mito Kaden and Koharu, who are transferred to the dormitory, are too far away from the darkness...

Just when this idea flashed through Shimura Danzo's mind, Mito Kadoyan happened to ask.

"Hiruzen, Uchiha Madara...what's going on?"

Mito Kabuto pushed up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and brought the topic back on track.

"Didn't you say you personally disposed of Uchiha Madara's body before? Why did he resurrect again and go to Kirigakure Village to attack the Third Mizukage?

"Is it possible that Uchiha Madara can be resurrected many times?"

After hearing Mito Kaden's words, Danzo Shimura shut his mouth completely and stopped interfering in the topics in the conference room.

Although, he definitely knows Uchiha Madara's situation better than the other three people here!

"I did use Fire Release to destroy Uchiha Madara's body before, and I also checked the condition of the body."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said very uncertainly.

"But just like the second-generation adult, he also witnessed Uchiha Madara's corpse with his own eyes, but later it turned out that the 'Uchiha Madara's corpse' was just a fake.

"Actually, I had similar worries when I destroyed the corpse before. I was worried that Uchiha Madara would come back from the dead again. Now this worry has only been confirmed..."

"How on earth did Uchiha Madara do all this?"

Xiaochun was very confused when he went to bed.

"Is it possible that it has something to do with the Uchiha clan's Sharingan?"

While Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kadoen and Koharu were discussing Uchiha Madara's situation with each other, Shimura Danzo closed his eyes and made a gesture of resting with his eyes closed.

‘Uchiha Madara’s resurrection from the dead is indeed related to the Sharingan! '

Several thoughts flashed through Shimura Danzo's mind, and at the same time, the figure of the mysterious one-eyed Uchiha flashed through his mind.

That's right.

Danzo Shimura had been in contact with One-Eyed Uchiha and had reached a small deal with him.

After returning from the Country of Yu, Danzo Shimura had secret contact with One-Eyed Uchiha, and even provided him with a map of Minato Squad's actions.

When the teams of Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin went to the Yuno Kuni battlefield to support the front line, it was precisely because of the route map provided by Shimura Danzo from the rear that the subsequent Hell Valley incident occurred.

Uchiha Obito was also lucky enough to have his eyes opened during that attack.

The reason why Shimura Danzo was willing to make a deal with the one-eyed Uchiha.

It's because the one-eyed Uchiha promised to attack Nara Langui, who is in Yuno Country, after the deal is over, and take away the Five-Tails from the opponent's hand!

Shimura Danzo originally believed in the other party, because when the one-eyed Uchiha came into contact with him, he always used the identity of "Uchiha Madara" and showed miraculous abilities and methods.

However……

After the Hell Valley incident, the one-eyed Uchiha completely lost contact, and Nara Langui was not affected at all!

This embarrassed Danzo Shimura.

He once suspected that he had been deceived by some inherently evil Uchiha villain...

To this day, Shimura Danzo still does not know the true identity of the one-eyed masked Uchiha. He only knows that the other person is definitely a living person, not a "dirty native" like Uchiha Mirror.

Now the news came from Kirigakure that "the third Mizukage was attacked by Uchiha Madara".

Danzo Shimura also read the secret letter written by the Third Mizukage from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

‘Is it possible that the one-eyed Uchiha is really Madara Uchiha? '

'As he said before, he was seriously injured in the battle at the Valley of the End, so much so that he even lost one Sharingan...'

'Uchiha Madara, who is old and blind, seems to be unable to deal with the third Mizukage... But this cannot explain the disappearance of the third Tsuchikage and the third Raikage! '

Perhaps because he was used to being the mastermind behind the scenes, Shimura Danzo always felt that the behind-the-scenes matter might not be as simple as he imagined.

It's a pity that the information is seriously inconsistent.

Even if Danzo Shimura had doubts, he couldn't find any direction to doubt them.

After all, the "mysterious disappearance" of the third Kazekage, the third Tsuchikage and the third Raikage is an established fact!

Now Kirigakure took the initiative to spread the news that "the third Mizukage was attacked by Uchiha Madara".

This makes it difficult not to connect Uchiha Madara with several other disappearances...

Just as Shimura Danzo kept thinking about the issues related to the one-eyed Uchiha and Uchiha Madara.

Sarutobi Hiruzen ended the discussion.

There is no point in wondering how Uchiha Madara was resurrected.

The most important thing right now is to represent Konoha and participate in the second Five Kage Talks!

Although the armistice agreement has not been completely signed, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others are already planning to participate in the Five Kage Talks!

It might be a good idea to take advantage of the opportunity of the Five Shadows Conference to end the war completely.

The time and place of the Five Shadows meeting have not yet been discussed.

There is only one thing that Konoha can decide right now.

"Hiruzen, who do you plan to bring to the Five Kage Conference?"

Xiaochun's words immediately attracted the attention of the other people in the conference room.

Even Shimura Danzo instantly opened his one eye and stared directly at Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face trembled slightly.

Maybe the problem of sleeping with Xiaochun was just unintentional.

But he can still understand the behind-the-scenes meaning of sleeping with Xiaochun.

The only person who can represent the village in the Five Shadows Conference is the "Shadow".

The personnel carried by the "Shadow", whether they are called "guards" or "entourages", are almost all heirs recognized by the "Shadow".

In other words.

Koharu's question before sleeping was to ask who Hiruzen Sarutobi planned to make as his successor!

Become the fourth Hokage of Konoha!

Shimura Danzo, Mito Kadoen and Kaden Koharu all knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen planned to step down and elect a new Hokage after the Third Ninja War.

But everyone has no unified conclusion on the choice of Hokage.

From a traditional perspective.

The choice of Hokage can be unilaterally decided by the previous Hokage.

Just like the Senju Hashirama designated Senju Tobirama.

Just like Senju Tobirama designated Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But tradition is tradition.

The biggest difference between the Third Hokage and the previous Hokages is that there are several "elders" around the Third Hokage who divide his power.

Especially——Shimura Danzo!

"Hiruzen."

Shimura Danzo said in a faint tone.

"I think Orochimaru is a very good ninja, with steady methods, comprehensive abilities, and high prestige. He is the most suitable candidate for his follower."

Before the start of the Third Ninja War, both Danzo Shimura, Koharu, and Kadoru Mito believed that the future fourth generation Hokage would be born from among the three ninjas.

Considering Tsunade's mental illness...

The Fourth Hokage should choose from Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Danzo Shimura favors Orochimaru.

However, Koharu and Mito Kadeni, who were sleeping together, were more inclined to Jiraiya.

But after the Third Ninja War began, two more dazzling "stars" rose in Konoha.

Shadow of darkness.

Yellow flash.

From the perspective of strength and prestige, whether it is Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato, or Nara Rengui, they are all qualified to become the fourth generation Hokage.

And what really determines who among them can become the Fourth Hokage...

It also depends on Hiruzen Sarutobi's choice.

Now that the war is over, the position of Hokage is about to change.

At this special moment, the importance of any special factors that may be related to the position of the Fourth Hokage need not be mentioned.

Follow the Third Hokage to participate in the second meeting of the Five Shadows.

The identity of this follower almost clearly indicates the choice of the Fourth Hokage!

This is why Danzo Shimura took the initiative to recommend Orochimaru.

but……

"I like Minato better."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and said calmly.

"Namikaze Minato? He is too young!"

"I was not too old when I became a movie star."

"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

"——"
