Chaos Settled, Danzo Takes Action
And just like that, the chaos was easily quelled...
Orochimaru smiled when he saw this...
"My dear junior brother, I'll be leaving now! It's not quite appropriate for me to be here at this time, but I'll come find you later!"
As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, he instantly transformed into a dense swarm of small snakes, which then scattered rapidly in all directions...
After Orochimaru escaped, it wasn't long before the Konoha ninja regrouped, including the clan leaders from various families who all arrived at the center...
"The Lord Third, he..."
"Well..."
"I never expected that a perfectly good Chunin Ninja Exams would turn out like this!"
"Yes..."
"I never expected the Third Hokage to be..."
Everyone saw the Third Hokage's corpse, and for a moment, they were somewhat at a loss...
After the chaos subsided, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, two elders of Konoha, also arrived at the scene.
"Now is not the time for grief! The Third Hokage is dead, and our most important task now is to select the next Hokage! I think Jiraiya is very suitable for this position!"
Jiraiya hearing the elder's words, Jiraiya quickly shook his head...
"I'm not going to Hokage! Whoever wants to Hokage be! I definitely won't!"
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura exchanged a furrowed brow after hearing Jiraiya's words.
"There really isn't a suitable candidate in Konoha right now! Jiraiya! If you're not going to become Hokage, then you should recommend someone!"
Jiraiya scratched his head to the side...
"I think Makoto Ito is quite good! He's strong enough, especially since you all saw it just now! The Third Hokage wanted to pass the Hokage Position to Makoto Ito before he died! I think there's no problem with Makoto Ito becoming Hokage!"
Jiraiya finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Makoto Ito ...
But Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were the only two who frowned, looking like they disagreed!
Just then, the sound of footsteps approached...
Shimura Danzō appeared at the scene with the Root ninjas!
"I would like to volunteer myself! I believe I am capable of becoming the next Hokage Position of Konoha!"
At this moment, Shimura Danzō quite a presence! Especially with a group of Root ninjas following behind him, Shimura Danzō at this time had quite the air of a mafia boss!
Makoto Ito calmly looked at Shimura Danzō, then held up one finger and shook it...
"You... you can't do it!"
Upon hearing Makoto Ito's words, Shimura Danzō intently at him and slammed his cane hard against the ground!
With a thud!
One of the Root ninjas behind Shimura Danzō Danzo charged towards Makoto Ito in an instant!
"You brat! You have no right to speak here! Die!!!"
The ninja Makoto Ito paid no attention to the Root that was rushing towards him!
Just stare at him calmly...
At that moment, Sasuke Uchiha, who was next to Makoto Ito, sprang into action!
"You're the one who should die!!!! Amaterasu!!!"
In the blink of an eye, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes transformed into the Mangekyō Sharingan!
Then flames instantly burst into flames on the Root ninja who rushed towards Makoto Ito!
What terrified people most was that the flames were impossible to extinguish, even when the Root ninja used Water Release Ninjutsu on himself!
And so, to everyone's horror, the Root ninja was burned to ashes in just a few seconds...
Upon Danzo this scene, Danzo's hatred grew even more intense! He then raised his cane and slammed it into the ground twice!
Thump thump!!
Two more Root ninjas rushed out in an instant!
"Die! You wretched brat!!!"
"How dare you disrespect Danzo!!!"
When the Root ninjas made their first move, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Mito didn't have time to react. This time, the two hurriedly spoke up!
"Danzo! Stop! What are you doing?!"
However, Shimura Danzō seemed not to have heard what the two were saying at all...
He still stared at Makoto Ito with icy eyes...
Beside Makoto Ito, Shikamaru Nara took a step forward... "This is really troublesome! Shadow Imitation Jutsu!!!"
In an instant, the two Root ninjas who were rushing towards Makoto Ito stopped in their tracks and couldn't move!
"Hateful!!!!"
"It's a secret technique of the Nara Clan!!!"
"This brat is clearly just a Genin!!!"
The instant the two Root ninjas were subdued, Naruto Uzumaki sprang into action!
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!!!! Take my kidneys!!!!"
Two Shadow Clone of Naruto instantly appeared in front of the two Root ninjas! One of the Shadow Clone was holding a Rasengan in its hand!
Rumble!
Rumble!
And just like that, these two Root ninjas were spectacularly blasted away!
Kakashi, Jiraiya, Asuma Sarutobi, and others instantly appeared before Makoto Ito and his group! This included the heads of various clans!!!
Kakashi immediately lifted the eyepatch off his eyes...
"Danzo! What are you doing? Attacking your own comrade in the village! Do you want to become Rogue Ninja?!"
"Kakashi! You're the ones who want to be Rogue Ninja! I am the true elder of Konoha!!!"
"Danzo! You will regret this!!!"
"Kakashi!!! I am the elder!!!"
At this moment, Shimura Danzō felt incredibly relieved! Because before, he had always said those words to Hiruzen Sarutobi, but today it was finally his turn to say to someone else, "I am the elder!"
However, it would be even more satisfying if the word "elder" could be replaced with "Hokage"!
