Hokage Character Simulator: My Nine Tails Are Getting More And More

Chapter 129 Sarutobi Falls Ill

Sarutobi Hiruzen cheated and was discovered by Naruto.

According to the default rules, Sarutobi Hiruzen will bear the consequences.

But at this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to play the emotional card towards Naruto.

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a recalling expression and told the story of Namikaze Minato and Kushina.

He was trying to get Naruto to change his mind.

But it had no effect.

As a last resort, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to ask Anbu to compile a copy of the barrier information and give it to Naruto.

Naruto's attitude softened slightly after getting the information.

He said to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Third Hokage-sama, I will take my leave first."

Naruto bowed very politely and left without looking back.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, looking at Naruto's leaving back, his eyes gradually became dull.

…

Naruto didn't stop and started studying Konoha's barrier.

Compared to defense, Konoha's barrier actually serves more of a reconnaissance function.

As long as a strange Chakra appears, the barrier will be able to sense it.

The person who has been observing the barrier will then report it to the Hokage, and the Hokage will make a decision.

The deeper Naruto looked, the more he realized that things like barriers were very complicated.

If you want to study it in a day or two, I'm afraid it's impossible.

So Naruto decided to record the materials needed to build the barrier first, and then collect them.

For three days, Naruto wandered around Konoha.

The things needed to build the barrier are mostly rare ores, and most of these ores have the function of conducting Chakra.

Although it is rarer and more expensive.

But when Naruto offered to buy it, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't refuse.

After all, Konoha's recent earnings have not been good.

It seems that the Daming Mansion also intentionally entrusted Konoha's funds for a day. I don't know what they mean.

With Naruto's financial support, Konoha can also reduce some of the pressure.

So Naruto collected the things to build the barrier.

Now he only needs to study the barrier, and Naruto can build a barrier of the same level as Konoha for the Land of Snow.

But something unexpected happened.

During this period, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually fell ill.

After Tsunade checked for Sarutobi Hiruzen, it was finally determined that Sarutobi Hiruzen could no longer continue to be a Hokage and could not engage in such a high-intensity job.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Konoha was in an uproar.

All the major ninja clans went to visit Sarutobi Hiruzen in the hospital.

Sarutobi Hiruzen lay on the hospital bed as if he had aged ten years in a few days.

Looking at the clan leaders of the ninja clan and his two disciples around him, Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth and said tremblingly: "Tsunade... you will be the next Hokage."

At this point, Tsunade didn't know how to refuse.

Just when she was about to take over the burden, a stern voice came from outside the door: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked toward the door.

I saw an old man walking in from outside.

He had one arm and one eye wrapped.

Yes, this person is Shimura Danzō, whose arm was cut off by Naruto and whose eyes were gouged out!

Danzo somehow regained his arms and eyes.

This unknown secret made everyone shudder.

The appearance of Danzo interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's acceptance of Tsunade's fate.

The old man with a gloomy expression walked in and said directly to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Sarutobi Hiruzen, have you forgotten the rules set by Shodai and the teacher?"

"The position of Hokage is not hereditary, and you have no right to directly appoint the next generation of Hokage!"

He's right.

When First Hokage Senju Hashirama passed away due to illness, before his death, he said that the person most recognized by the villagers was Hokage.

Senju Tobirama happened to be the leader involved in the reform and development of Konoha, so he was naturally recognized by the villagers, so he became Hokage.

Senju Tobirama wanted to stay and fight against the Golden Horn and Silver Horn troops, so he set up a test for his disciples when they were cut off from the rear.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was qualified, so he was recommended as Hokage by Senju Tobirama.

Follow-up Sarutobi Hiruzen became the Hokage with the support of many disciples of Senju Tobirama.

But before his death, Senju Tobirama also decided on the location of the Hokage.

If you want to become a Hokage, you need to be recognized by the villagers.

The second condition is that the next Hokage cannot be appointed directly over the board of advisors and elders.

Senju Tobirama made this arrangement to avoid a hereditary situation in the Hokage position.

But now, it has been used as a political weapon by Shimura Danzō.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Danzo coming, he closed his eyes weakly. He shook his head slightly and said to Danzo: "Danzo, after so many years, can't you still not let go?"

Danzo did not answer Sarutobi Hiruzen's useless question, but directly announced: "The Third Hokage cannot decide the candidates for the next generation of Hokage. We must hold an elders meeting and a Jōnin meeting to discuss it together, and then report it to the Daming Palace according to the process. The correct Hokage candidate can only be decided upon approval by the Daming Mansion!”

When the clan leaders heard Danzo's words, their expressions changed slightly.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Tsunade to be the Hokage, and everyone had no objections.

After all, Tsunade has qualifications, is not old, has rich experience, and is the granddaughter of First Generation.

Both emotionally and rationally, Tsunade is a more suitable candidate.

But according to the rules, it is exactly the same as what Danzo said.

Tsunade stood aside with his chest crossed, his eyes staring at Danzo who suddenly appeared, and he sneered in his heart.

Is this old bastard the Konoha borer that Naruto and the teacher talked about?

Although he knew Danzo's purpose, Tsunade could not blatantly disobey the rules left by the First Generation and Second Generation.

That would make her seem a bit unsuitable for being a Hokage.

So Tsunade said the same: "Okay! Since Hokage was elected by everyone, I have no objection!"

She still doesn't believe that Danzo, an ambitious man who works underground all day long, can win so many votes.

The so-called vote is actually a vote within Konoha regarding Hokage.

Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru had similar votes in the past.

The overall process is to hold a meeting of the elders to determine the candidates to compete for Hokage.

Then invite the prominent ninjas in the village and the heads of the major ninja clans to start a joint meeting, and vote to select the Hokage that best meets everyone's ideals.

Danzo glanced at the confident Tsunade, turned around and left without saying anything.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched this scene. He closed his eyes weakly and said to the people around him: "You all should go first. I have something to tell Tsunade."

The major clan leaders understood and then left.

After a while, only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Tsunade were left in the room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen told Tsunade: "Danzo has many supporters in the elders, and the advisors have been bewitched by Danzo in recent years."

"If you are really unsure, you can try to get help from Uzumaki Naruto."

"As long as he's willing to help, you can become the Hokage."
