256: Chapter 256 : 4th Hokage!!!

Chapter 256 : 4th Hokage!!!

The next following day, all the clans were notified of Hiruzen's retirement as a Hokage but he would still act as an advisor for the duration of the war...1

The whole village gathered in front of the Hokage's building and watched as Hiruzen stood with Anbus on the roof while watching them...

You only get one life. There's no need to choose an impossible path. It's fine to live as long as you like and die. : Hiruzen

However… protecting a precious person… you must not forget this no matter what path you choose. : Hiruzen

To me, Konoha isn't just an organisation. Every year there is a lot of ninjas born and raised in Konoha… : Hiruzen

They live, fight to protect this village and what is precious they would go to their death. Even if we are not related by blood, those of the village like these are, to me, my most precious, most important… family!! : Hiruzen

When the tree leaves dance, one shall find flames. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and once again, tree leaves shall bud anew. : Hiruzen

I may be retired now, but this village is my home and I will always rise to assists it as long as I have a breath into me!! : Hiruzen

Now I pass the position of Hokage... To my colleague, my friend!! : Hiruzen

I hope you can rise to the challenge!!! Himura Danzo!!! : Hiruzen

Danzo who surprisingly was very nervous as he took the mantle and the hat indicating that he accepted the role of the 4th took a slow but steady step forward...

My father and grandfather died in battle as ninja. Self-sacrifice is a ninja's duty. : Danzo

I'm very proud of them as now I am alive here thanks to them... : Danzo

It's not my life I'm worried about. This is for Konoha… for the ninja world… It looks like it's my turn next… How far I can go I'm not sure... But I'll be sure to try my best along the way!!! : Danzo

Danzo started off with a depressing topic making everyone nervous especially Linley who thought that was a fucking big FLAG...

But then continued in an impressive way which caused all the villagers to cheer as the only thing they care about is their safety...

Seeing their reactions everyone nodded and dispersed while leaving only Danzo, Hiruzen, Linley and the Anbu on the roof...

Congratulations Danzo... : Hiruzen

Now that I'm a Hokage I'm not sure what to do... How did you, dealt with it?? : Danzo

The same way you did just now... : Hiruzen

Ninjas are both a weapon and shield to protect our families living in the village... : Hiruzen

The first thing you had to do was gain the approval of citizens which you did... : Hiruzen

After that come to the step I told you Danzo, take all clans into consideration when dealing with matters of the village and don't spread conflict within... : Linley

Apart from that, you can do what you wish for matters related to the outside such as political economy and more I believe you are more suited to this than any one of us... : Linley

Danzo nodded as he knew that everyone wants a family and a place to be safe within, he had seen many things and had done an equal amount of staffs that he wasn't proud of...

Some of those could be avoided but he chose not to...

Now however he must ponder about because as the Hokage he has the power to set things right without atrocities...

Linley didn't know if Danzo would really be a good fit but as they are at war currently he can use this chance to assassinate him and blame a random clan that might come and knock on their door...
