"Hokage...?"
Chloe rubbed his head and grinned, "It seems very difficult..."
"System has detected that most of Konoha's ninjas are at the scene at this moment."
"This is a great time to earn reputation points."
"Please choose whether you want to attract attention and earn reputation points in the current situation."
"Y/N"
Chloe didn't think much and just chose yes!
The only person in the orphanage who can be considered a ninja is Kabuto, the director Nonou attending the meeting Medical Ninjutsu, and Kabuto has not officially become a ninja so he can only be considered a half.
Even if the favorability level is maxed out, the reputation value of just two people has a limit. At present, the only person who can steadily gain reputation value is daily sign-in.
Too slow!
"Please shout this loudly in front of all ninjas."
"..."
Looking at the words given by System, Chloe didn't think much about it. It didn't matter what he shouted, as long as he could gain reputation points.
Fu——
Little Chloe took a long breath, then used all his strength to shout loudly.
"I will definitely become Hokage!!"
Because the cheers had been going on for a long time and the cheers had gradually stopped, Chloe's words clearly reached the ears of many people present.
Many ninjas stared blankly at the grey-green short-haired kid who shouted, and then started laughing, thinking that he was a child and ignorant.
However, many people praised him for his courage, especially Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi on Hokage Building. These two people like to rush towards the name Hokage without any brains!
Tsunade was a little dazed, feeling like there were two familiar figures behind this kid. Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the other hand, touched his beard and looked at Chloe with great satisfaction.
Will of Fire It's great that life is endless.
Standing in front of Fugaku, Itachi stared blankly at the short gray-green-haired kid who was about his own age and had a serious expression on his face. He didn't care about the ninjas teasing him around him.
Can it still be... like this?
At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi, who was standing next to Chloe and was exactly one head taller than Chloe, had a kind of reverence or adoration in his eyes, and stood up against the teasing and mocking gazes of the ninjas.
"I believe he can definitely become Hokage!"
Warm as the sun, this is Kabuto's evaluation of Chloe, who is one year younger than him.
Although we have only known each other for less than a month, his sunshine and kindness have lit up the entire orphanage!
He is always the first to rush forward without fear when any child needs help!
Originally, I listened to my mother (Nonou) and treated him as a younger brother, but I didn't expect that I was the one who was impressed.
"The kid who wants to be Hokage, tell me your name!"
Tsunade raised his eyebrows and stared at the slender figure in the crowd.
"It's over, it's over, apologize quickly, kid, Lord Hokage seems to be angry."
Several kind-hearted ninjas on the side also tried to persuade him. However, on the other hand, Chloe did not show any timidity, but answered with an upturned face, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Kougetsu Chloe! This is my name!"
Seeing that the other party did not show any timidity or flinching under his gaze for five seconds, Tsunade also nodded secretly in his heart.
"Listen to me, kid! The first step to realizing your dream is to speak it out loud and you have done it! Next, use your life to realize it! Don't give up!"
Seeing Tsunade who simply turned around and left after leaving such words, the slower ninja finally came to his senses.
Does this mean that the new Hokage agrees with the dream of this arrogant brat?
After the appointment ceremony of the new Hokage, all the ninjas quickly dispersed and went about their own business. After all, Konoha was still at a very critical moment.
With the new Hokage, it does have a backbone, but the current dilemma faced by Konoha has not improved much.
Itachi, who was following Fugaku, was still staring blankly at the little boy with short gray-green hair, feeling that he was really incredible. These earth-shattering words would not have been uttered by me even if I was beaten to death!
"Dad, that child..."
"Kōzuki Clan..."
Fugaku stopped and looked at Chloe who was chatting with Kabuto not far away. He also thought about the news that he had recently heard that Land of Fire, a large farming noble Kōzuki Clan, was massacred until only a little boy was left.
"Kōzuki Clan?"
"Although he is not a ninja, he is still a member of the Land of Fire family who has always supported Konoha."
Fugaku nodded and said, after all, among the ninjas of Konoha at this time, there should be very few ninjas who have not eaten the food selflessly sponsored by the Kōzuki Clan.
Even Uchiha once received food gifts from the Kōzuki Clan!
Fugaku, who knew what his son was thinking, also spoke again, "Itachi, if you want to play with that brat Kōzuki Clan, go ahead. However, the village is not peaceful recently. You must pay attention to safety and don't come back too late to worry your mother."
"I don't want to play with him..." Itachi's face turned slightly red as if he had been seen through, and he retorted in a low voice with a straight face, "I was just that..."
Itachi really didn't want to play with Chloe. After all, he had a cuter and more invincible younger brother to play with. He just cared about him a little bit!
"Come back soon."
Fugaku, a good father who sees things through but doesn't tell them, rubbed Itachi's little head and left straight away.
After glancing at the direction his father was leaving, Itachi hesitated for a moment before turning around and slowly following Kabuto and Chloe.
Hokage's office, Tsunade, who was Hokage for the first time, looked at the two high piles of documents on the table and felt a little regretful, and finally understood that Hokage was not a good job.
"Tsunade, before dealing with those, please approve this first."
Tsunade, who was sitting on the Hokage chair, looked at the "Root Gardener Application Form" handed over by his teacher and his eyes twitched.
To be honest, it was my teacher's fault that he actually applied for a job like watering flowers at Root.
Why are you going? Go to Root and preach Will of Fire to those Root ninjas who are loyal to Danzō? Do you believe that Danzō will be mad at you?
After thinking for a moment, Tsunade also took out the Hokage seal that was handed over to him before and stamped it directly.
"Danzō is very lonely when he is alone. As his old friend for decades, since Hokage has resigned, he should spend more time with him."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said this, but in his heart he also made up his mind that after going to Root, he would tell the children there stories about the first and second generation adults when they were young every day, and tell them a good story about Will of Fire!
Although he has eliminated a number of ninjas in the root, there are still a lot of them. They live underground and in the dark all year round and have not received any Will of Fire education.
My old bones only have so much use. I may not be good at other things, but it is Will of Fire's turn to educate and instill. Who else does this Konoha have besides myself?
Tuantuan, don't be afraid, I'm coming!
Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi who was smiling and counting the candies prepared in his pocket, Tsunade was also complaining in his heart that his teacher was really bad. It is estimated that Danzō would be so angry with his teacher that he would collapse every day in the future.
Danzō, who had finished his house arrest, cursed in his heart bitterly at his old buddy's unkind behavior.
Years of hard work were ruined, his Root power was weakened by more than half, and he was forced to agree to various conditions that would humiliate the country.
If he doesn't agree, he will die with himself!
Old gangster! Old bastard! Old Hiruzen! Hold!
After Danzō, who was cursing in his heart, came to his Root, what he saw was the good old Hiruzen Sarutobi who was smiling and handing out candies to a group of young Root ninjas.
How old are you? Is training hard? Have you talked about a girlfriend? Do you want to hear my story? Then let me tell you a story about the past between the first generation and the second generation...
Seeing this scene Danzō just felt like there were countless grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart. Did your special propaganda Will of Fire spread to me?!
You have gone too far! Hiruzen!
Looking at the "Root Gardener Application Form" Danzō handed to me by the other party with a red stamp, I just want to say that you are really doing a bad job, you really didn't leave any way for yourself to survive!
No wonder when the conditions were first proposed, the other party proposed that if Root wants to continue to exist, people from Hokage must be allowed to serve in it! No need for more, just one!
Thinking that he could set up a casual job to fool him, Danzō endured the humiliation and agreed, but he didn't expect that the other party would do such a trick! What a great move to get rid of the firewood!
"Hiruzen! You've gone too far!"
Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi also expressed his grievance and replied, "You can't say that, Danzō. I am an old man who has retired, and my children have grown up. I don't even have anyone to talk to on weekdays. I think you are the same. I can't do heavy work like this, but watering flowers is okay. You see, this way, we can talk often, how nice is it?"
What a hammer!
Danzō I feel like my chest is so tight. Are you here to water the flowers? You are obviously here to instill your so-called Will of Fire into the impersonal Root ninja that I have worked so hard to cultivate!
Don't play like this! Hiruzen!
"Speaking of which, someone found something like this at the door today and gave it to me. Although I don't know if it's true or not, but you should pay attention to your health Danzō. Everyone is at this age..."
Seeing that the order sent by Hiruzen Sarutobi was basically the same as the last order to assassinate him, except that the amount was increased to one hundred thousand and one hundred taels, and the order "The right eye seems to be Sharingan" was changed to "The sole of the foot is suspected to have a corn", Danzō was also very angry.
Who is trying to trick me? He also slandered that he had corns on the soles of his feet, and the price only increased by one hundred taels? Are you so cheap?
Boom!
After crumpling the order form that the damn bastard sent to him and throwing it into the trash can, Danzō also stood up and opened the door.
"Sir Danzō, Orochimaru asked me to tell you that our cooperation has ended..."
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Looking at A kneeling on one knee at the door, Danzō also winked quickly and coughed into his hands. Didn't you see that there is another Old Monkey here?
Why? Wait a moment? What did you say Orochimaru? What does it mean that the cooperation is over?
In just a moment, the suspicious Danzō thought of a very scary possibility!
A certain person sent his best disciple to his Root as an undercover agent to cooperate with him, and turned a blind eye to him on the surface. When the time is right and various researches have made progress, he asked his disciple to cooperate with him to take him down!
Good guy! What a great guy!
Didn't you see it? You are really scheming!
Orochimaru was also arranged by you, right? He has been yours from the beginning, right? Letting Orochimaru gain your trust and causing a rift with you were all your intentions, right?
After doing this for a long time, you two have been acting like me, right?
What defection? I think it's also a fake defection!
You asked him to poke out the fact that your right eye is Sharingan, right?
You are so good! Awesome! I'm convinced!
"It's called A, right? You just came back from a mission? It's been really hard work."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who pretended not to hear, also walked over with a smile, and looked at A kneeling on one knee, like a kind Old Man, asking questions and showing concern.
"Third Hokage Master..." A nodded.
"Okay, let's go down and train."
"Wait a minute Danzō, such a young child has just returned from a mission, he should take a rest, right? He is not a doll."
Hearing this, A blinked inexplicably. What does the word puppet mean? What is the difference between them and normal people? Who am I...
"Here is my Root!"
The crutch in Danzō's hand hit the floor heavily and he said angrily. At the same time, he confirmed from the bottom of his heart that this so-called Root was a trap set by his old buddy from the beginning!
"I'm not saying no. I just think it's hard for such a child, so I might need a break. Come on, kid, eat a candy, and listen to grandpa telling stories with everyone later, okay?"
Therefore, Tsunade guessed right, in just a short while, Danzō will completely collapse!
