Naruto World: Acquiring the Dung Fruit and Joining the Second War - Chapter 105
Chapter 105: Danzo Who Is Loyal To The Lord
100,000 head of livestock?
Upon hearing this number, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade knew they had been deceived. Although they hadn’t actually entered the farm, they weren’t fools. There had been a recent poisoning incident on Chiba’s farm, resulting in the death of all the livestock. How could there possibly be 100,000 heads of livestock?
“You liar! There can’t be a hundred thousand cattle!” Jiraiya refused to accept and yelled.
Observing their reaction, Chiba looked saddened. “You’re right, there aren’t 100,000. It should be 99,990…”
“And?”
“At this point, do those ten or eight livestock even matter?” Chiba’s tone was filled with sadness as he sighed.
Jiraiya’s face turned red. He knew Chiba was exaggerating, but he had no way to prove it.
In the field, Chiba brushed past the three individuals and walked past Tsunade. He felt that Tsunade was giving him an odd look.
“The livestock are all dead, and you can’t compensate for it. In that case, help me collect manure!” Chiba said helplessly, gesturing to Shizuka beside him.
“Oh~” Shizuka exclaimed and entered the wooden house.
Upon hearing the words “collect manure,” the three of them immediately shook their heads.
Jiraiya: “Impossible! Even if you kill me, I won’t collect that stuff.”
Orochimaru: “If you kill me, I won’t do it.”
Tsunade: “I won’t do it either!”
The three of them were adamant, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation.
“Collect manure?”
“Impossible!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At that moment, Shizuka emerged from the house with a sack on her back. The sack seemed quite heavy, causing Shizuka to stumble slightly.
This sight made Jiraiya and the others feel disdainful. The daughter of the esteemed Aburame patriarch struggling to carry a small sack?
Then, without warning, Shizuka dropped the sack.
Clatter~~
A multitude of gold bars spilled out from the sack.
Jiraiya froze.
Orochimaru’s eyes widened.
Tsunade’s mouth formed an “O” shape.
Chiba then spoke, “If you help me collect manure, I can pay you anywhere! I can even pay for collections abroad! These gold bars are your compensation.”
Before Chiba finished speaking, Tsunade rushed forward with a whoosh and took away half of the gold bars. Orochimaru followed suit, claiming more than half of the remaining bars.
Now Jiraiya was in a hurry. After hesitating for only a few seconds, there were only a few gold bars left in the pile.
Tsunade: “Actually, I have a great passion for collecting manure!”
Orochimaru: “Leave this trivial matter to me.”
Jiraiya: “You two are shameless!”
Soon, the three of them left. However, it was apparent that Tsunade and Orochimaru were in the lead, with Jiraiya chasing behind.
As Chiba watched their retreating figures, he smiled.
What a way to hit and kill!
He had money, and he could easily handle these people.
“As the Hokage of peace, I’m truly living up to my title…”
Hokage Meeting Room!
The conference room was filled with people today. Apart from Homura and Koharu, all the seats were occupied by the patriarchs of various clans. Particularly, these patriarchs completely ignored Homura and Koharu, with Hyuga Tennin seemingly taking the lead.
As a powerful contemporary figure alongside Senju Hashirama, Hyuga Tennin, despite his old age, held significant prestige among all the clans.
“Now that everyone is here, except for Danzo, we can begin the meeting,” Hyuga Tennin announced, knocking on the table.
Danzo entered the room, pushing the door open. “How could I miss such a significant event?”
Glancing at the crowd, Danzo smirked.
Everyone was surprised to see Danzo’s appearance. “Danzo? You’re still alive?”
“Chiba didn’t kill you?”
“You’re quite audacious, showing up like this. Aren’t you afraid that Chiba will wipe out your entire clan?”
To be honest, they hadn’t expected Danzo to reappear, and they had all assumed he had been killed by Chiba. But now, seeing Danzo intact, it was evident that he was confident.
“Hehe~ Chiba and I are friends. What do you know?” Danzo sneered, walking directly toward the patriarch of a smaller clan and pulling him aside.
“Danzo! You’re taking my place!”
“Nonsense! This position has always been mine,” Danzo retorted disdainfully, glancing at the other patriarch.
As a dignified assistant to the Hokage, it would be embarrassing for him if he didn’t have a position.
“Alright! Now that everyone is present, let the meeting commence.”
Hyuga Tennin put an end to the quarrel between the two and prepared to get down to business. After all, this meeting was about selecting the Fourth Hokage, not a competition for seats.
The meeting began officially.
“As the Hyuga clan, we recommend Chito as the candidate for the Fourth Hokage,” Hyuga Tennin spoke first.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Uchiha patriarch expressed his opinion.
“We, the Uchiha clan, also endorse Chiba as the Fourth Hokage.”
“The Aburame clan recommends Chiba…”
One by one, the three clans recommended Chiba, making the outcome of the meeting almost predetermined.
“Our Nara Clan also endorses Chiba…”
After the Nara patriarch spoke, Danzo snorted disdainfully.
“Humph! The Nara Clan! You obstructed Chiba before, and now you support him. I suspect you have ulterior motives!”
Danzo’s mocking gaze fell upon the Nara patriarch.
“Danzo, don’t talk nonsense. We opposed Chiba because we were concerned about him gaining a reputation as the Hokage who killed his predecessor!” the Nara patriarch hurriedly explained.
Killing the previous Hokage!
This had a significant impact on Chiba’s claim to the position of Hokage. Although it hadn’t been mentioned until now, it was impossible to ignore.
If anyone was loyal to the late Hokage, it was undoubtedly Danzo.
“Not convinced? After the meeting, we will hold a memorial service for the late Hokage directly!”
“As for the cause of his death… let’s say he accidentally fell into a cesspit and drowned!”
“This way, the cause of Hiruzen’s death will be determined, and anyone who suggests otherwise will be accused of defaming the Fourth Hokage!”
Danzo finished speaking and noticed everyone’s gaze on him.
“The speed at which one falls into a well is faster than that of a stone~~”
“I think he’s crossing the river while tearing down the bridge…”
“As Sarutobi Hiruzen’s supposed best friend, he died, and you…”
“He truly is the king of villains!”
