The current situation has put Sarutobi Hiruzen in a difficult position, not to mention Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Chiba with serious eyes.

Qianyu now is no longer a being that they can control. The fully-fledged Qianyu is out of the control of all of them. The doubts and attacks against Qianyu can no longer be ignored.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Danzo beside him.

Danzo also saw the look in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

Danzo's hands clenched into fists, his expression gradually turning into one of resentment.

The meaning of Sarutobi Hiruzen's look is very clear.

Let him solve the problem he created.

But if you want to calm the situation now, you have to agree to Qianyu's conditions.

It is impossible to disband the root, the position of assistant to the Hokage is impossible to disband...

Just because he wanted to disgust Chiyu, he gave up the position of Hokage's assistant. Isn't that too much of a loss?

However, the position of Hokage's assistant is gone, and his real power comes from the Root. Even without this title, he can still exercise the rights of Hokage's assistant.

And with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En around, the position of Hokage's assistant can be taken back at any time.

But Danzo still felt unwilling. Why should he bear it alone?

But in the current situation, he has to agree even if he doesn't want to.

Danzo took a deep breath and announced, "Regarding Chiba's matter, I only have suspicions, and I have no substantial evidence. I was not rigorous today. I have been the Hokage's assistant for long enough. Today is a good opportunity for me to announce my resignation as the Hokage's assistant and give this position to a talented young person."

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately agreed, "Since Danzo has chosen to voluntarily resign from the position of Hokage's assistant and is willing to give this position to a talented young man, then it couldn't be better. This matter is over, and we will return to this meeting to discuss the next Hokage's successor!"

Danzo, Utane Koharu, and Mitomon En sat down.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not sit down immediately, but looked at Chiba who was still standing.

Qianyu smiled and said, "Since the Sandaime said that this is over, then I naturally have nothing to say. After all, I am just an ordinary ninja in Konoha with little say."

Qianyu sat back in her seat.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Chiba deeply and sat back in his seat.

All the ninja clan leaders present breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Qianyu's tense look just now, they almost thought that Qianyu would take action.

When they heard Qianyu say that he had little influence, they all curled their lips.

This is very insignificant?

They dared to confront the Konoha's top leaders directly, and forced Danzo, the Hokage's assistant, to compromise and resign from the position.

Everyone present knew that the real reason why Qianyu dared to be so tough was because of his strength.

The law of the jungle is the law of survival in the ninja world.

Otherwise, if Qianyu only had reputation but no strength, would Qianyu dare to speak to these high-level officials like this? Would Danzo compromise like this?

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Nara Shikaku.

Nara Shikaku immediately understood that this was for him to start the next topic.

Nara Shikaku suggested: "Why not entrust it to the next generation of ninja after Minato."

In fact, at the beginning, Nara Shikaku had Chiba in mind.

After all, the most suitable candidate to become Hokage in Konoha is only Chiba.

But after what happened just now, it would be impossible to choose Chiba, and Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others would not choose Chiba to become the Fifth Hokage.

The same is not possible for Orochimaru.

And...Nara Shikaku also saw the real intention of Sarutobi Hiruzen in starting this meeting.

The generation of ninjas after Minato Namikaze is Kakashi's generation of ninjas. No ninja of this generation is qualified to become the fifth generation ninja.

Because they are too young and lack sufficient qualifications.

As Nara Shikaku guessed, Utane Koharu immediately said, "Although there are excellent jonin among them, it is undeniable that their experience is not enough to lead everyone."

Nara Shikaku immediately asked, "Then, who else could it be?"

There was a gleam in Danzo's eyes. Isn't this a great opportunity?

He had just stepped down as the Hokage's assistant and was just the right person to succeed the Hokage.

The reason for his succession is that he is familiar with everything about Hokage and can get started right away.

However, Danzo was a little worried. It would be troublesome if Chiyu used what happened just now to pressure him.

Danzo had no idea in advance what kind of meeting Sarutobi Hiruzen had called everyone to hold, so when he first heard that the Fifth Hokage was going to be elected, he immediately attacked Chiha and held him accountable.

Because Danzo also knew that among the candidates with sufficient qualifications and strong ability to be the Fifth Hokage, Chiba was the most qualified one, no doubt about it.

Now even Orochimaru can't compare to Chiba.

If Danzo had known that Nara Shikaku would make such a proposal, he would not have challenged Chiha and held her accountable.

Now Danzo feels like he has shot himself in the foot.

But Danzo won’t have to worry about it anymore.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up again and recommended himself: "I have no choice. This is an extraordinary period. I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, am willing to take on this important task."

Mizutomon Yan immediately praised him and said, "You are willing to come out of retirement."

Utane Koharu also echoed: "Since you agree..."

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in disbelief. He finally realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En were playing together again and he was not included!

This meeting was just a formality to announce Sarutobi Hiruzen's succession as Hokage.

Then what about him just holding Chiba accountable for preventing her from becoming the Fifth Hokage?

Fool?

Why do they isolate him every time?

Danzo suppressed his anger and interrupted Utatane Koharu's words, questioning Sarutobi Hiruzen: "You once gave up the position of Hokage. Are you really capable of doing it?"

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with sharp eyes and continued, "In fact, although you arrived at the scene of the Nine-Tails' rebellion, you were blocked outside by the barrier and did not play any role!"

Mitomon En said dissatisfiedly: "Danzo, you are too much! Hiruzen couldn't do anything at that time."

Utatane Koharu also questioned: "Where were you at that time, Danzo..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted softly, "Koharu!"

He had just let this matter go, and now Koharu Utane brought it up again. Isn't this just making things more difficult for him?

If I had known earlier, I should have told Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En about the Uchiha clan before coming here.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Chiha secretly and found that Chiha had a mocking smile on her face and was looking at them like a clown.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's dissatisfaction with Chiba grew deeper and deeper.

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed heartily and said, "It's me, an old man, who overestimates my own abilities. Until the next Hokage grows up, just treat me as a transition. That should be all right, right?"

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen unwillingly, his teeth almost broken.

He got nothing and wasted his time as the Hokage's assistant.
