The next day, early in the morning.
"Danzō-sama, Yondaime Hokage and Hiruzen-sama has asked you to go to Hokage Tower to attend the meeting!" A Root Shinobi kneeled on the ground and said respectfully.
"I understand." Danzō responded calmly, and then asked, "What happened to what I asked you to do?"
"The entire Konoha's public opinion is under your control!"
"Very good!"
Danzō nodded in satisfaction and walked out calmly.
'Finally, it's this old man's turn to bathe in the sun!'
...
On the street, some people were cleaning up the rubbles left by yesterday's incident, while others gathered in groups of three or five to talk about what happened yesterday.
Among these discussions, a "passerby" made a righteous exclaimation, "As a Hokage, he cannot resist the threats when danger comes, and even hide secretly. That man is not worthy of being a Hokage at all!"
The surrounding crowd hesitated, "Hiding? No way, right? Hokage-sama should just be held back by something?"
The other righteous passerby then shouted, "What is more important than saving the village?"
"That..."
"You don't know? Before yesterday's turmoil, Danzō-sama predicted this possibility, but our Hokage-sama didn't pay attention to it at all, which led to the subsequent disaster!"
Fear breeds hatred. When they fell into despair last night, of course they also hoped that their Hokage-sama would save Konoha, their Hokage-sama didn't show up until the end, so of course they would be dissatisfied.
It was only afterwards that Sōseki descended like a god which temporarily extinguished their dark thoughts.
Now, being provoked by these righteous passersby, those hatreds are resurrected.
"That's right, that man doesn't deserve to be the Hokage at all!"
"However, if he doesn't deserve to be Hokage, who else can become Hokage? Should we call Sandaime-sama to come back?"
At this time, one of the righteous passersby gave another suggestion.
"First of all, Hokage must be strong!"
"Second, Hokage must have a sense of responsibility and help everyone when they are in danger!"
"What do you think..."
Someone then clapped their hands excitedly, "No matter what you think, it should be Sōseki-sama!"
This time, the two passersby were dumbfounded.
"Wait, Sōseki-sama is indeed a good candidate, but his relationship with that Namikaze Minato is too close!"
"And he also has a good relationship with the Uchiha Clan. Don't forget the tomoe that appeared in Kyūbi's eyes last night is a pattern of the Sharingan!"
However, the flow of discussion of this time is not so good.
After the disaster last night, Sōseki's image in everyone's mind can be said to be almost perfect.
"So what? Sōseki-sama is not the kind of person who would favor them!"
"Yeah, when it comes to strength, is there anyone more powerful than Sōseki-sama?"
"That's right, Sōseki-sama saved so many people last night, and even considered the reconstruction after the disaster!"
Behind them, Danzō passed by with a gloomy expression.
This is different from what he expected!
He obviously acts faster than Sōseki, and he also has the righteousness of giving early warning. Even against the Uchiha Clan, he was always on the front line, 'But why is everyone unwilling to support me?'
'Isn't that brat, Shimizu Sōseki, only younger than me, more handsome than me, stronger than me, more popular than me, and contributed more than me... Apart from these, what else can that kid compare to me?'
Just as Danzō was indignant, Sōseki's voice came from beside him.
"Elder Danzō."
Danzō turned his head to look, and snorted dissatisfiedly, "What, are you here to show off your reputation to this old man? Don't get too complacent too soon, it's not that the old man doesn't have any back-up plans..."
Sōseki shook his head slightly, "Elder Danzō, can we speak for a moment?"
Although he didn't understand Sōseki's purpose, Danzō naturally wouldn't show his timidity so he said, "Just go, you think this old man would reject it?"
...
At this moment, in the upper-floor meeting room.
Sandaime looked to the side with a solemn expression and asked, "Aren't you going to stop Danzō?"
Minato sighed, "He didn't say anything wrong. I indeed failed to fulfill my duty as the Hokage. And I even wanted to take the initiative to find him, but it seems that I have a guilty conscience."
Sandaime frowned and said, "Then, you will let him continue to spread those words?"
"He just wants me to step down from the Hokage's position, which is actually good." Minato said calmly, "If that person last night is really targeting Hokage's position, leaving the Hokage's position can at least keep Naruto from being in danger!"
"Moreover, even if I step down from Hokage's position, he won't be able to take over this position!"
"That's true." Sandaime nodded in agreement, and then asked in a serious tone, "Minato, was the one who controlled Kyūbi last night really Uchiha Madara?"
Speaking of this, Minato also became serious, and he shook his head after pondering for a moment, "I'm not sure either. Judging from his comments on Kyūbi and according to the conversation with me, he does think he is Uchiha Madara, but both his pupil power and combat experience are far from the one told in legend!"
After saying that, Minato showed tangled expression and said, "However, even if he is not Uchiha Madara, he is still extremely powerful. It is difficult to find someone who meets the conditions in the Uchiha Clan, and even Fugaku's pupil power is much weaker than that masked man."
Sandaime took a puff from his pipe and said, "Could he be an Uchiha Clan's member who disappeared or "died" in the war? And after inheriting Uchiha Madara's will, he came back to take revenge on Konoha?"
Hearing Sandaime mentioned this, Minato inexplicably thought of his own disciple who was "excavated" after his death, but he soon shook his head mockingly.
'Obito is a good child, but his talent is so poor that even in another fifty years, it is impossible for him to have this kind of strength.'
'Not to mention, how could such a kind-hearted Obito do such cruel things?'
Abandoning these distracting thoughts, Minato said solemnly, "I went to meet Fugaku last night, and the Uchiha Clan did not have any great figures on the list of dead and missing in the Third Shinobi World War, and, in just a few years, it is unlikely that they will grow to that level."
"That is to say, suspicious candidates are best placed in the first two Shinobi World Wars, and in Second Shinobi World War, there was such an outstanding talented senpai missing!"
Sandaime's pupils suddenly shrank upon hearing this, "You mean, Kagami?"
After saying that, he immediately denied himself, "Impossible, that is absolutely impossible, Kagami is dead! Moreover, even if Kagami is still alive, it is absolutely impossible for him to do any harm to Konoha! He loves the village more than anyone else!"
"Since Sandaime-sama say so, I must have thought wrong!" Minato didn't insist, "After all, I really don't know much about that senpai."
Sandaime sighed with emotion," If Kagami is still alive, the relationship between the village and the Uchiha Clan will definitely not be as rigid as it is now!"
Minato was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Sandaime would have such a high evaluation of that senpai.
"By the way, Sandaime-sama, that masked man accidentally exposed a secret when he was fighting with me, that is, he may have already controlled another Kage in the other Shinobi Village..."
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a bandaged man came in.
"Hehe, you two arrived quite early!"
