Upon returning to Konoha, Senju Tobirama immediately went to the Sarutobi Compound to inform him to prepare to abdicate the Hokage Position the next day and hand it over to Uchiha Kō.
As a politician, he knew very well that marriage alone was not enough to bind Konoha and Uchiha Kō together.
Uchiha Kō's strength was no less than his elder brother's, and his strategy was no less than his. After defeating his elder brother, Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama became even more determined in this idea, so he immediately went to the home of his student, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had already made preparations when Uchiha Kō resurrected the two Hokage, but when this day arrived, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He asked, "Sensei, has something happened?"
Senju Tobirama glanced at him, then recounted the battle that had just taken place to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi Hiruzen gasped after hearing it.
Lord Xiaojun defeated the First Hokage! He defeated him head-on! And he gained the approval of the First Hokage, his teacher, Lady Mito, Uchiha, Uchiha Izuna!
His expression was complicated. Back then, when he first met Uchiha Kō, it was because of his activities and wisdom in the Land of Rain.
Back then Uchiha Kō seemed to be just a Jonin? I never imagined that in less than two years, Uchiha Kō's strength would have reached this level.
He possesses both strategy and strength, and most importantly, he is young. If he were Senju Tobirama, he would make the same choice. After hearing his teacher's explanation, Sarutobi Hiruzen's initial dissatisfaction vanished instantly.
Therefore, after bidding farewell to his teacher, he prepared to have someone inform the higher-ups to announce the matter, and asked Danzo to do the same.
Upon hearing this news, Danzo was first surprised, then fell silent. He showed no dissatisfaction, no scheming, only complete conviction.
He and Uchiha Kō went through a lot, from dislike to respect, and then to trust and admiration. Now, thinking back, he shook his head and smiled.
"Alright, Hiruzen, you've worked hard all these years, but I believe that Konoha will definitely be the strongest village in the Ninja World in the future!" Shimura Danzō patted Sarutobi Hiruzen on the shoulder.
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed and scolded, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up, don't delay the Fourth Hokage's important business!"
Seeing his old friend like this, Shimura Danzō felt relieved. "Alright, I'll go and inform them. You go and take care of your business too."
The two split up, and Senju Tobirama used the Flying Thunder God to pay his respects to the Daimyo and deliver the appointment letter for the Fourth Hokage. Upon seeing that it was Senju Tobirama person, the Daimyo did not hesitate and immediately signed the appointment letter.
He had originally intended to invite Senju Tobirama to a meal, but Senju Tobirama Konoha. I appreciate the Daimyo's kindness, Senju Clan will always stand with the Daimyo!"
These words pleased the Daimyo. "Alright, Second, go ahead and get busy. Tomorrow, your village will Fourth Hokage, and he'll be the son-in-law of the Senju Household —that'll make him my Daimyo's son-in-law! I'll send someone to prepare 'generous' gifts to congratulate the Fourth Hokage on his ascension."
Senju Tobirama cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you, Daimyo. Until we meet again!"
"Yes, until we meet again!" The Daimyo was also very happy. Originally, when Uchiha Kō heard his name, the Daimyo's face turned pale. Everyone in the Uchiha Clan knew that he was notoriously irritable.
In the end, after all that fuss, it turns out that Tsunade's man! The man of the princess of the Land of Fire! Well, it's alright, he's one of us, so we must give him our full support!
Compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Daimyo preferred to use his own people, which is nepotism.
After seeing Senju Tobirama leave, the Daimyo immediately ordered the Minister of Finance to count the 2 billion taels of silver and then set off for Konoha, determined to deliver it before the succession ceremony!
"Yes, Your Daimyo!" The Minister of Finance quickly led his troops to inventory the finances. This matter concerned the marriage of the imperial son-in-law, and a powerful one at that. He had to put in his utmost effort to handle it!
When Shimura Danzō arrived at the Uchiha Clan Compound Shimura Danzō, the gatekeeper immediately greeted him, "Lord Danzo, please, please have a seat! Are you here to see Elder Xiao? We'll inform him right away!"
Because of Uchiha Kō, the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and the Shimura Clan became increasingly close, and Shimura Danzō often visited the Uchiha Clan.
Because he was Elder Xiao's honored guest and favored the Uchiha Clan, everyone addressed him as Danzo.
At this moment, one guard entered the clan's territory to report, while another guard instructed the young men in the clan to brew tea and bring it over to quench Danzo Danzo's thirst!
Shimura Danzō watched this scene without objecting, and smiled. The Uchiha clan of today is vastly different from the ones of the past; Uchiha now much more approachable and show him sufficient respect.
They possess emotional intelligence in their conduct and actions, and even regularly publish the achievements of the Police Force, letting the entire village know about their contributions to Konoha.
All of this seems to be due to the appearance of Uchiha Kō, and now the Uchiha Clan also refers to themselves as Konoha, Uchiha!
Just as he was thinking about what had happened recently, Uchiha Kō's voice rang out, "You guys are really something! How many times have I told you, Danzo is my friend, someone I respect. If he comes, just let him through!"
"You really are!" Uchiha Kō pretended to be angry, scolding the gatekeeper with a gloomy face. The gatekeeper looked uneasy (pretending), but to be honest, this scene warmed Shimura Danzō's heart.
So that's how important I am in Owl's eyes! Shimura Danzō's already kind eyes softened even more now.
"Lord Owl, the servants were only being polite because they didn't want to bother you. Don't be too harsh on them!" Shimura Danzō said to the two guards like a kind old grandfather.
"Hmph, considering that Lord Danzo pleaded for you, I'll let this matter go today. Otherwise, you'd all have to be given twenty lashes!" Uchiha Kō sneered.
"Thank you, Danzo, Uchiha Feng /Kazumi, we are grateful for your kindness!" The two highly emotionally intelligent drama queens knelt on one knee, their voices sincere.
"Oh dear, oh dear, what are you all doing!" Danzo was helpless, but the corners of his mouth were turned up; he was a sucker for that.
This made Shimura Danzō feel respected and realize that he held a high position within the Uchiha Clan!
Since ancient times, clever tricks have always won people's hearts!
"Danzo, please come in," Uchiha Kō said with a smile.
Shimura Danzō smiled as well. "From now on, don't call me 'sir' anymore. Tomorrow, you will become the Fourth Hokage! I will be the one calling you 'sir' from now on!"
Shimura Danzō patted Uchiha Kō on the shoulder. The two guards' pupils contracted, but they dared not utter a sound. Both of them had a look of joy in their eyes.
"Nonsense! Konoha is thriving under your and Hiruzen- sama's leadership. What right do you have to ask me to succeed Hokage? That's inappropriate!" Uchiha Kō offered a token refusal.
Now it was Danzo's turn to Danzo, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
