Chapter 78 The Third Hokage Danzo? Temporary!
Hoshino Kaede did not hide, but swaggered into the Hokage Building.
Such a posture quickly attracted the attention of the ninjas in the building.
A newly promoted Chunin frowned and was about to go over to persuade them, but just as he took a step, he was stopped by a senior Jonin.
"Senior, why are you stopping me? There's obviously something wrong with this guy!" said the Chunin indignantly.
Seeing this, the jonin smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Even if that person has questions, it is not your turn to ask."
"Even I don't have the qualifications. You should just stay here. Konoha is about to change."
Upon hearing this, the young Chunin's eyes widened immediately, and he shrank his head and looked at Xingye Feng cautiously, saying, "Senior, is that person of high status?"
It's not his fault. A jonin is already the backbone of a village, with a lot of say and power. But even so, the jonin in front of him feels inferior to him.
Only someone at a higher level could make him behave like this.
"Higher? In a sense, except for that person, there is no one in the entire Konoha with a higher status than him." The Jonin said meaningfully.
His words made the young man swallow his saliva. He was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
Xingye Feng came with great momentum, obviously looking for trouble, but no one tried to stop him along the way and he was able to go forward unhindered.
Arriving at the Hokage's office, Kaede Hoshino took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
"Who let you in? There's not even a door..." The table was still the same table, but the person had changed, so much so that Xingye Feng was so shocked that he was speechless and stood there in a daze, motionless.
Danzo was handling government affairs when his ears suddenly moved, noticing someone coming in without knocking on the door. Thinking it was someone who was not understanding, he looked up and started to scold them, but his pupils suddenly shrank halfway through his words.
"Hoshino...Kaede!" Danzo said blankly, with many emotions showing on his face, but there was no joy or happiness.
"It turns out... it's you who became the Hokage, Danzo." Hoshino Kaede breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Danzo with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
After a brief moment of distraction, Danzo finally came to his senses and his face returned to calm: "It's me, are you surprised? Do you think Hiruzen is more suitable than me?"
Hoshino Kaede nodded in acknowledgment: "Indeed, from what we have seen over the years, Hiruzen is more suitable than you. He..."
"Why! Tell me why!" Danzo suddenly became furious and slammed the table hard. Cracks immediately appeared on the table, with a questioning look in his eyes.
Xingye Feng was silent and did not answer. Although he thought so, the facts were more important than anything else.
The one sitting in the position of Hokage now is Danzo Shimura!
"Where is Tobirama?" Hoshino Kaede suddenly asked.
Speaking of Tobirama, Danzo's anger gradually subsided, and he said calmly: "Four years after you left, the teacher died of illness."
"So, Tobirama recognizes you." A hint of surprise flashed in Hoshino Kaede's eyes.
Danzo shook his head slowly and said, "Sensei hasn't designated anyone yet. The position of Hokage is now vacant."
Xingye Feng's pupils shrank, and then he smiled bitterly: "I understand."
People outside believe that the current Hokage is the Third Hokage, but in reality he is only in temporary office.
Before his death, Tobirama did not designate a successor, but left the position of Hokage vacant, probably to pave the way for Hoshino Kaede.
He left this position to Hoshino Kaede and did not give it to his disciples, nor even to Hiruzen and Danzo, whom he recognized.
They were only given the power to take over temporarily, and it was clearly stated in all the major families that even if they wanted to take over, they would not have the right to do so.
Danzo said with a complicated look in his eyes: "I have worked so hard for so long, but in the end I still didn't get what I wanted."
"So, you start to take revenge?" Xingye Feng heard resentment in his words.
"No." Unexpectedly, Danzo shook his head and denied it. "I think you know about the business tax."
Hoshino Kaede nodded, and Danzo continued, "We have no choice but to do this."
"Konoha is developing too fast, and many places need funds. When Tobirama-sensei was here, the funds were barely enough to maintain it, but when the teacher passed away, it collapsed in an instant."
Xingye Feng touched his chin, thought deeply, and finally lowered his head and sighed.
Everything has two sides, yin and yang, good and evil. In the past decade or so, Konoha has developed faster than a rocket.
It's like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins. Even if its speed has jumped to a higher level, it's not easy to stop.
The interests and hidden dangers were not balanced properly, making Konoha appear prosperous but actually precarious.
Even now, we have to increase commercial taxes to make up for the shortfall in funds.
Xingye Feng just felt dizzy and exhausted, and complained in his heart.
That's not right. This is different from the Naruto I watched. Konoha has never been like this before.
Is there a difference between reality and fantasy? But the difference is too big.
If we are not careful, Konoha will probably fall apart and people will lose their morale.
Everything else is fine, but you can’t let go of your heart, because money can be earned again, but a broken heart is hard to recover.
"Ah... Tobirama, did you hand over the Third Hokage to me because of this?"
With Tobirama's political wisdom and vision, he must have seen this.
But it was too late when he discovered it. He could only ensure that the reins of Konoha's wild horse were still in his hands and he could restrain it.
As for the rest, Tobirama was powerless and could only leave it to Hoshino Kaede.
Thinking of this, Hoshino Kaede sighed deeply and said, "Danzo, I think you know very well that neither you nor Hiruzen are capable of solving the current hidden dangers in Konoha."
"It's not that you don't have the ability, but now we need not only ability, but also strength."
"With your and Hiruzen's strength, I guess you can't control the situation now. Those ninjas with ulterior motives won't listen to you."
Hoshino Kaede hit the nail on the head and pointed out the factor that Konoha urgently needs right now, which is strength.
Both of them are indeed very strong, but not enough to convince others. Another point is their status.
On the one hand, they were all from the ninja clan, and to the common people, they were no different from those who oppressed them.
On the other hand, in the eyes of the ninja clan, the two are just juniors and have no right to make decisions.
All these factors add up to their current situation of being restricted.
All these analyses made Danzo look depressed, like a deflated balloon. He knew all of this, and they could empathize with Tobirama's powerlessness at the beginning.
Seeing this, Xingye Feng smiled, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Are you losing your spirit? This is not the Danzo I know."
Danzo raised his head and looked at his calm expression, he suddenly sighed inwardly, he was able to remain calm when Konoha was in such a crisis, from this point of view, he had lost.
No wonder Sensei Tobirama went against everyone's opinion and kept the position of the Third Hokage vacant. He must have anticipated the current situation.
