After the news of Danzo's death on Five Kage Summit spread back to Konoha, the whole village fell into chaos.
Sasuke just attacked Konoha.
Hokage Building was destroyed, and a large piece of Hokage Rock was also missing. Countless materials stating that Danzo colluded with Orochimaru were thrown everywhere, and Anbu had no time to collect them all.
Many people have seen the contents.
Why is Chiya Uchiha wanted, what experiments did Root secretly do, and how did Danzo conduct transactions with Orochimaru.
No one knows how much of that information is true, but Danzo died at this time without even a single person who could stand up and explain.
Even more troublesome is Root.
After Danzo died, the Cursed Seal on the tongues of Root members also disappeared. Some people began to surrender to Anbu, while others still stayed in the base, waiting for orders that Danzo would never give again.
The two Hokage Advisor can only take over the village temporarily.
Kakashi and Kai were released from prison, and Tsunade's suspension was also lifted. At the same time, all Root members stopped operating and stayed at the base for review.
These orders can barely maintain order.
Konoha still needs a new Hokage.
At this moment, the news that Kumogakure was destroyed also reached Land of Fire.
The alliance letter jointly issued by the four shadows was sent to Daimyo's Residence. It clearly stated that Akatsuki had obtained eight Tailed Beasts, and all countries must go to Iron Country as soon as possible to discuss the formation of Allied Shinobi Forces.
Hokage selection meeting was held on the same day.
Land of Fire Daimyo sat in the main seat and repeatedly read the information sent by Hidden Cloud Village.
"One ninjutsu destroyed the entire Kumogakure?"
"Yes."
"Two-Tails and Eight-Tails also disappeared after the attack. Now it can be confirmed that Akatsuki has mastered eight Tailed Beasts."
The daimyo's movement of shaking the folding fan slowed down.
One of Five Great Shinobi Villages is just gone.
The atmosphere in the conference room became extremely heavy.
After a while, the daimyo spoke again.
"Shinobi World Joint Conference will be held soon. Konoha doesn't even have Hokage now. We can't let the two consultants attend on behalf of Konoha."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the people in front of him.
"Do you have a suitable candidate?"
Utatane Koharu was the first to speak.
"Kakashi Hatake should be good."
The daimyo thought for a while and quickly remembered the name.
"Hatake...White Fang of Konoha's son?"
"Yes."
"At the same time, he is also a disciple of Fourth Hokage."
"His strength, military exploits and reputation in the village are enough."
The daimyo nodded.
"Wouldn't that be nice?"
Shikaku Nara did not follow suit.
The daimyo saw his reaction.
"Do you think Kakashi is inappropriate?"
"It's not inappropriate."
"Kakashi has just been released and is still unclear about many things that happened in the village during this period. Now it is too tight for him to take over Konoha immediately and then represent the village in Shinobi World Joint Conference."
The daimyo was stunned for a moment.
"Just released?"
"He was previously imprisoned in Konoha prison."
"Why was White Fang's son arrested?"
The room was quiet for a moment.
Kakashi was imprisoned by Root because he opposed Danzo taking away Naruto. was also involved in this Nine-Tails left Konoha, Jiraiya died, and a series of orders issued by Danzo after taking over from Hokage.
Now even Konoha himself has not investigated clearly.
Shikaku can only answer.
"He disobeyed Danzo's orders."
The daimyo glanced at the news of Danzo's death on the table, and then looked at the two Hokage Advisors.
He was obviously still a little confused, but he didn't continue to ask.
"Since Danzo is dead and released, let's do this for now."
After saying that, he looked at Shikaku again.
"Besides Kakashi, are there any other candidates?"
"Lady Tsunade."
As soon as this name appeared, both Hokage Advisor fell into silence at the same time.
The daimyo's response was swift.
"First Hokage's granddaughter?"
"He is also a disciple of the third generation Hokage and one of Legendary Sannin."
"Regardless of her identity or reputation among Shinobi World, she is enough to stabilize the current Konoha. Lady Tsunade is also proficient in Medical Ninjutsu. There are currently a large number of injured people in the village, which cannot be replaced by others."
"After Shinobi World Joint Conference is convened, various countries are likely to immediately form Allied Shinobi Forces. Compared with Kakashi who has just escaped from custody, it is more appropriate for Lady Tsunade to come forward."
After hearing this, the daimyo nodded with satisfaction.
"Indeed."
"But..."
He looked around.
"Tsunade, what do you think?"
"No one has asked her yet."
The daimyo was no longer in a hurry to announce the candidate.
"Then ask her first."
He picked up the alliance letter on the table and handed it to the advisor beside him.
"Send this over too. Let her see what happened to Hidden Cloud Village first, and then decide whether she is willing to take over as Hokage."
"If she is willing, come and see me as soon as possible."
The first meeting is temporarily over.
The alliance letter and all the recent events of Konoha were quickly delivered to Tsunade.
Tsunade did not stay at the residence.
After the confinement was lifted, she took Shizune to the temporary hospital. Sasuke caused many casualties when it attacked the village, and the existing medical ninjas were simply too busy.
When we found her, Tsunade had just come out of the operating room.
Shizune took the scroll brought by the messenger and was obviously stunned for a moment after seeing the Hokage recommendation book.
"Lady Tsunade!"
Tsunade did not answer and opened the information from Hidden Cloud Village first.
The village was destroyed.
Two-Tails and Eight-Tails are missing.
The survivors claimed that the attacker possessed Rinnegan, and finally released a ninjutsu that covered the entire Kumogakure.
Tsunade read page after page and picked up Shinobi World Joint Conference's alliance letter.
Five Great Shinobi Villages is not the only one invited to this meeting.
Daimyos from various countries, ninja villages from small countries, and samurai from Iron Country will participate. Everyone needs to disclose information related to Akatsuki and jointly decide on the next action.
Tsunade watched it for a long time.
Shizune stood nearby without disturbing her.
"When will the meeting be held?"
Tsunade finally asked.
The messenger quickly answered.
"The specific date has not been determined yet. The Four Shadows are waiting for responses from various countries, but it should not take long."
Tsunade Close the alliance letter.
"How do you say the name Land of Fire?"
"I hope you will take over Sixth Hokage and represent Konoha in Shinobi World Joint Conference."
The messenger paused.
"The Daimyo is still waiting for your reply."
Tsunade did not speak immediately.
She turned to look at the temporary hospital.
The corridor was crowded with wounded people, and medical ninjas kept running past her. Some people were looking for their relatives, and some people didn't know until now that Hokage had died in Iron Country.
Today's Konoha and even Hokage Building have been half destroyed.
Root lost control, Nine-Tails left the village, and the problems left by Danzo have not yet been clarified, but a new war has arrived.
Tsunade withdrew his gaze and handed the alliance letter to Shizune.
"Prepare something for me."
Shizune was startled for a moment, and then quickly reacted.
"Okay!"
