Chapter 224: Explosion Again

Kakashi knew that goji berries weren't that important, and Kawanzo just didn't want him to cry in frustration.

With the corner of his mouth slightly raised, Kakashi looked at Kawazo lying on the bed with a rather strange expression.

Crying with laughter and laughing with tears, this may make Sichuan and Tibet feel more at ease.

Outside the door, Hiruzen and Danzo were standing still, patting their hands like elementary school students, while Gai and Shisui had already run away.

Gu Zang was lying on the ground in front of the two of them.

"What happened to Sichuan and Tibet? Why can't I contact him through the spiritual mark? Is he inside?"

Hiruzen stammered and couldn't say anything, and finally could only sigh.

"He's seriously injured, not dead, but...it's hard to wake up again."

Gu Zang's insect body did not move at all, nor did it make any sound. Hiruzen and Danzo did not dare to move either, and could only stand there with Gu Zang.

After a while, just when Hiruzen suspected that Gu Zang could not die in such sorrow, Gu Zang walked towards the ward and pushed open the door.

"Mr. Gu Zang."

Kakashi turned his head with a smile but tears in his eyes, which scared Gu Zang so much that he almost shot a hard vortex water blade at his head.

He had already taken back the consciousness from Kawanzo a long time ago, and he really didn't see Kakashi in this state!

What's going on? Is this really broken?

At this point, Hiruzen and Danzo also followed in of their own accord, having to take responsibility for Kozo's wrath.

Then, the two were also shocked by Kakashi's appearance.

Although there is a mask covering his face, his mouth is stretched into that arc, and you can see the weird expression through the mask!

Kakashi was reluctant to leave, and Kozo and Hiruzen stayed in silence in the ward for a while before leaving Konoha Hospital.

Hokage's office.

"Huruzen, it's time for us old guys to hold onto our stumps and guard the trunk of Konoha, leaving the branches and new shoots to the young people."

There was almost no room for rebuttal to Gu Zang's words.

Hiruzen nodded without hesitation.

Although Konoha won the Battle of Mount Kikyo, the outbreak of World War III had caused doubts to arise among Konoha's families and civilians.

If Konoha continues to develop like this, won't it be replaced by the other four villages one day?

Beneath the seemingly peaceful appearance lies a persistence that is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, but how long can this persistence last?

"Hehe, Mr. Kozang, I've already told you that Hiruzen is not suited for this position."

Hiruzen and Danzo were standing on either side of the Hokage's desk, Kozo was sprawled across the desk, and no one was sitting in the chair.

"Anyone have a choice, Hiruzen?"

Gu Zang didn't listen to Dan Zang's complaints.

Anyway, he always criticizes Hiruzen but still loves him.

"Well, Minato, that kid has pure faith, is Jiraiya's disciple, has good relationships with the major families, and has more than enough achievements."

"Humph!"

Danzo was immediately unhappy, although he had never been happy about it.

"Minato is only a little old! He's bound to make mistakes sitting in this position! Also, Hiruzen, when you say major clans, do you only mean the Ino-Shika-Cho clan? Did you leave the Hyuga, Uchiha, and Aburame clans out of Konoha?"

Hiruzen's old face also fell. He was already very annoyed, and he was treated as inferior in front of Gu Zang. Danzo didn't give him any face, which made him very annoyed!

"Even if something goes wrong, we're still alive! Danzo, don't try to make excuses! The Ino-Shika-Cho family is the most supportive of the Hokage in Konoha! What's wrong with stability?"

"Bullshit! Sarutobi Hiruzen! I've been fed up with you for a long time! Tell me, how important was the Ino-Shika-Cho family in the battle? Huh? If you didn't bring all the families together, this is what you'd end up like now!"

"What end, Danzo! What end are you talking about!"

"Even though I'm blind in one eye, I still see things more clearly than you do! Hiruzen! It's all your fault that the Hinata and Uchiha didn't put in any effort! It's too late to regret it now!"

"Don't you have any responsibility? I've given you so much power! Shimura Danzo! As my helper, look at what you've done! You bastard! I'm still the Hokage! I haven't retired yet!!"

"You! Today, I will personally..."

"okay."

The word "Kozo" interrupted the argument between Hiruzen and Danzo.

It's all just daily bullshit, with no nutritional value at all.

"Danzo, what about you? Who do you think should take this position?"

"This old man...this old man recommends Orochimaru."

Danzo originally wanted to say his own thing, but he still had to save face in front of Gu Zang. Under Gu Zang's constant indoctrination, although Danzo still had obsession, he no longer had any hope for the position of Hokage.

He knew that no matter his age, strength or prestige, he could not become Hokage. If he took the position, he would only suffer severe backlash, so his expectation became that the Hokage must be a hawk.

The office fell into a brief silence.

Gu Zang sighed.

"Although I shouldn't be involved in the village's decision-making, but... Hiruzen, ask Orochimaru to come back. You owe him too much."

Hiruzen's expression darkened instantly.

At this time, it was useless to say anything, because of Kawazo's death, Hiruzen could not raise his head in front of Kozo.

"I understand, Mr. Gu Zang. You...you should go back and rest first. You still look very weak. Konoha cannot do without you."

"Don't worry, I won't die yet."

As he said that, Gu Zang had already left the Hokage's office.

A day later, the entire Konoha was in turmoil again.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is ready to abdicate, and the candidates are Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru!

And it was rumored from somewhere that Mr. Furuzo appeared in the Hokage's office yesterday, and then Lord Danzo left the Hokage's office in a very proud manner.

The probability of Orochimaru becoming the Fourth Hokage is higher!

For a moment, the stagnant water of the entire Konoha seemed to boil over. Civilians walked the streets to inquire about the news and spread increasingly outrageous rumors. The major families also took action secretly.

"Minato, are you confident?"

Kushina raised her two little fists and cheered for Minato with her beautiful big eyes.

But Minato just smiled gently.

"To be honest, I really want to be the Fourth Hokage, but no matter how you look at it, I'm still a little behind Lord Orochimaru. Lord Orochimaru is the one who can truly sit on the throne."

Minato didn't want to fight with Orochimaru to a bloody end. He was a companion of his teacher Jiraiya, and he had to call him uncle-master.

Moreover, he was only in his early twenties and was suddenly nominated as the Fourth Hokage, which made him a little scared. Although his dream was to become Hokage, he didn't know if he could do well in that position.

"Hey! Minato, don't let others' prestige weaken your own! You can definitely do it!"

Kushina immediately pinched her waist angrily.

As a Jinchūriki, and a girl at that, Kushina becomes more mature and realizes more and more that she may not be able to become Hokage, and can only place her hopes on Minato.

But Minato just smiled at Kushina's little temper.

One hand ruffled the red hair he loved while the other rested gently on Kushina's stomach.

Slight throbbing.

"Are you also encouraging Dad~"
