"What everyone says makes sense. Then Tsunade will convene the Five Kage Summit."
Danzo was not at all surprised by this outcome. He had known from the start that such a minor matter could never bring Tsunade down and put him in the Hokage's seat.
What he had said earlier had merely been preparation for his true objective.
"Since that is the case, I propose that, to prevent Akatsuki from obtaining the Nine-Tails, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki should be placed under Root's care and protection, along with Mr. Hawking.
Whenever he appears, the Nine-Tails will transfer to him. This is for their own good as well."
Sure enough, when Danzo spoke this time, far fewer people objected.
Danzo's previous proposal had just been rejected. If this proposal were rejected too, it would be rather too disrespectful to him.
More importantly, many of the higher-ups felt that Danzo's words were not without reason.
If Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, were allowed to keep carrying out missions outside, and Akatsuki truly captured him and extracted the Nine-Tails, not only would the village suffer enormous losses, but Akatsuki's plan would also succeed.
Although Naruto was fairly strong now, he had yet to defeat Pain and save all of Konoha. Officially, he was merely a genin.
Most people did not have much confidence in Naruto's strength, especially since even Jiraiya had nearly died this time.
"No, I disagree."
Tsunade immediately frowned and rejected Danzo's proposal.
Based on her understanding of Danzo, this suggestion was definitely not made solely out of concern for safety.
He surely had some other special purpose.
Jiraiya, Kakashi, and the others naturally came to the same conclusion as Tsunade and stood on her side.
However, this time, Konoha's two advisors did not support Tsunade as they had before. Instead, they sided with
