Postpone it?
Everything Jiraiya said was telling him that all his preparations were wasted effort.
As long as Hiruzen woke up and Konoha had the Third Hokage at its helm, there would naturally be no need for a Fifth Hokage.
And even if they really did need to choose a Fifth, one word from Hiruzen would mean that who became Hokage was no longer up to Danzo.
Danzo narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at Jiraiya, killing intent surging in his gaze. "Are you warning me?"

The two Root ninja following him were too frightened to breathe loudly and silently withdrew into the shadows.
They were terrified
