?"It can be said...Orochimaru was indeed a talented genius in the war era."
"However, there is malice and ambition hidden in his eyes, and the heavy responsibility of Hokage cannot be entrusted to such a person."
Seeing that everyone present was focusing on him, Third Hokage pondered for a moment, then stood up from his position and spoke.
Although Orochimaru was once his most promising disciple, the path Orochimaru has taken in recent years has increasingly deviated from his original expectations, and he has also secretly colluded with Danzo.
While feeling heartbroken, Third Hokage, who owns Will of Fire, will never allow the Konoha that he and his predecessor Hokage worked so hard to fall into the hands of people like Danzo and Orochimaru.
"Third Hokage!"
Just as he was about to push his partner Orochimaru to the throne of Hokage, Third Hokage stood up to interfere with it. Danzo couldn't help but stand up.
"I recommend Minato Namikaze."
Ignoring Danzo who stood up to object next to him, Third Hokage continued to speak and named the ideal candidate in his mind.
"The disciple of Jiraiya, that is, the disciple of Third Hokage."
After hearing the candidates proposed by Third Hokage, Utatane Koharu, the elder of Konoha on the other side, opened his mouth to add.
"He is an elite ninja known as Yellow Flash. He is indeed a good candidate."
At this time, another Konoha High Command Mitokado Homura also spoke.
"Oh? Yellow Flash?"
After hearing the candidates recommended by Third Hokage, Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire, who was sitting in the main seat, brightened up, and the ministers Land of Fire present also whispered to each other.
Indeed, compared to the gloomy and cold Orochimaru, the sunny and upright Minato Namikaze is obviously more in line with the positive image of Ninja World, the leader of one of the five major ninja villages.
The name Yellow Flash has risen like a comet on the battlefield in recent years. Almost everyone in the entire ninja world knows it, and its strength has completely reached the level of Kage Level.
"But, Minato is still too young!"
Seeing that Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire and the minister present were about to be persuaded by Third Hokage, Danzo immediately became anxious.
"Minato won the battle of Kannabi Bridge and was the major contributor in leading Third Shinobi World War to its end."
"If you think he is still too young... then the other candidate I recommend will surely surprise you even more."
Danzo would stand up and object. As expected, Third Hokage interrupted Danzo's words and saw Third Hokage take out a piece of information and place it on the conference table in front of everyone.
"This is?!"
Everyone present was stunned when they saw the document Third Hokage put on the conference table.
"Third Hokage... In the past year, the death rate of Konoha Ninja Hospital's ninjas has only been 10%?!"
Taking the information in front of me and looking through the data recorded on it, I saw a look of shock on Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire's face.
"Yes, and this information shows that the death rate of Konoha ninjas during their missions has dropped by nearly 60% compared to before. It's really amazing data."
Similarly, looking at the data report in front of him, the other minister Land of Fire present could not help but marvel.
"Haha..."
"These are all the data brought by that boy Yakushi Hane after he became the monitor of Konoha's medical class last year..."
Seeing the surprise on the faces of everyone present, Third Hokage continued to speak with a smile.
"Moreover, the Medical Talisman he developed last year is a major achievement that can change the current configuration of the Ninja World ninja team..."
"In this war, the reason why our frontline ninjas were able to significantly reduce casualties and gain an advantage with great difficulty is due to Medical Talisman."
"Sarutobi! Are you?!"
Hearing that Third Hokage mentioned this name in such an important meeting, Danzo next to him was immediately shocked.
"Yakushi Hane?"
"Could it be the Crimson Feather who recently became famous on the battlefield?"
After listening to Third Hokage's words, Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire suddenly showed a very interested look on his face, and the surrounding ministers also whispered.
Obviously, all the Land of Fire monarchs and ministers present have heard of this name that has risen rapidly on the battlefield recently like a new star.
"Exactly, Crimson Feather is the closed disciple of Third Hokage and the junior brother of Legendary Sannin."
"Although he is still young, his performance on the battlefield in the past year has been surpassed by almost no one."
At this time, Mitokado Homura, who was sitting with Utatane Koharu, nodded. Out of interests, he chose to side with Third Hokage this time.
"It's no wonder you have such a high opinion of him. Indeed, Crimson Feather is a rare genius."
"Whether it is military exploits or contributions to Konoha, they have brought us inestimable value..."
Utatane Koharu beside him shook the wrinkles on his face and turned his gaze to Third Hokage, rarely agreeing with his opinion, "So Third Hokage, what do you mean...?"
"Well..." Third Hokage took a deep breath, pondered for a while, and finally said, "I want to include Yakushi Hane in the list of candidates for Hokage this time..."
"What?!"
"Absolutely not!!"
Hearing Third Hokage's words, everyone present was shocked. Danzo directly objected. "Are you crazy?! Yakushi Hane is much younger than Minato Namikaze! How can Hokage be the candidate?!"
"Age is not an issue, and it's not determined that he will be Hokage, so he is just a candidate..."
After hearing Danzo's objection, Third Hokage continued to speak calmly.
"Well, the consideration Third Hokage is not unreasonable..."
At this time, Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire in front of everyone seemed to agree with Third Hokage's opinion, "In terms of strength, Crimson Feather is indeed qualified. In terms of identity, he is the Third Hokage A disciple of, in terms of merit, he is one of the heroes of this war, and he served as the medical squad leader and developed this Medical Talisman, which indeed brought us huge benefits..."
"Konoha, it's time to hand it over to young people..."
"Daimyo!!"
Danzo saw that Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire actually agreed with Third Hokage's opinion, and suddenly became a little anxious.
"Then if there's no problem, let's just settle it!"
Directly skipping Danzo's opinion, seeing Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire agreeing, Third Hokage directly made the decision, "Then we will immediately draw up a list of candidates for Hokage, and list Minato Namikaze as the first candidate, and Yakushi Hane and Orochimaru as other candidates."
"Hmph!"
"I hope you won't regret the decision you made in the future!"
Seeing that everyone present had decided on this motion, Danzo's face tightened and he stood up directly.
After walking out of Land of Fire's Daming Mansion, Danzo's face was ashen. Hokage's position has always been his coveted target, but now it is completely controlled by Sarutobi's faction, which makes him unable to calm down at all.
"Damn it, after all..."
"It's also my fault that Orochimaru guy has no popularity at all... otherwise he wouldn't be so passive now."
