"Hokages? Sorry, but I'm not interested. After all, don't you think there's a better choice than me?"
"Hmph, you're wrong if you think you have a choice."
"So, what's your excuse then?"
"You will be the Hokage Doll for me, who does as I command."
When she heard that, Eiji could not help but sneer a sneering smile: "Wow, that's quite honest. Just wondering, what will happen if I refuse?"
"You have parents, right?"
"DAMN YOU!!" - Eiji instantly realized how he was being threatened and could not contain his anger.
But since he was strapped to a chair, his attack was too slow and he was stopped by one of the Root members beside him.
He could do nothing but glare at Danzo like a beast.
Unfaced Danzo continued with her usual cold face: "It's good that you understand. At first I thought you weren't too smart and I needed to explain everything to you anyway, for now, we're done here. The next day, You must be officially appointed and after that, You will receive Your next order.And also just so you know, You will be supervised and every movement You will I know, I will know, so don't try anything funny. "
Then Danzo nodded towards Root's members and with a single blow to the neck from one of them, Eiji lost consciousness.
"What does this mean, Danzo?" - Homura and Koharu looked at the paper Danzo gave them.
It says how the two Anbu who witnessed Hiruzen's last fight allegedly heard Hiruzen's last words.
He allegedly appointed Eiji as the next Hokage with his last breath.
"As you can see, Sarutobi wants Nakamura Eiji to be the next Hokage, not Tsunade."
"You think your "evidence" is enough to change the decision of Daimyo and the Konoha Council, which I must remind you, you are no longer part of after Sarutobi got rid of you?" - Koharu
"Why are you questioning it? Don't you know that Sarutobi and Nakamura Eiji are close enough? Why else would a child like him try to fight Orochimaru just to save him? Moreover, the villagers recognized him for his efforts in combat and his expertise was outstanding for his age. So should there be no problem, or want to disrespect Sarutobi's last wish?"
The two have an incredible experience in politics, and by knowing Danzo's personality, they can instantly see through his jokes and that he wants Eiji to become the Hokage Bonekanya.
"It's ridiculous, Danzo. Tsunade had already agreed and was on her way back. Daimyo has also accepted it, so why are you at odds now? You should have done it earlier." - Homura
Danzo did not respond, but simply connected the screen in the office with Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Homura and Koharu did not waste any breath to scold Danzo for suddenly calling out to Daimyo, as they knew he would not do such a thing for no reason.
"Greetings.it's good to see you're all healthy and well. By the way, let's get straight to business: I thought about your words Danzo, and I concluded that your words made more sense. Konoha has always been too passive because the previous Hokage was too soft. And since you said you would train and advise this promising young man, I'm confident in expanding the military and becoming more active. That's why I decided to appoint Naka-is that Nakamura? pointing this kid instead."
After that, Daimyo said goodbye and the screen went dark.
"The two of you should know, if there is any uncertainty, the final decision is in Daimyo's hands. So with that, there should be no problem, right?"
"... Have you gone mad? Do you really think that this child is suitable to become Hokage?" - Koharu
"Is his young age you're worried about?"
"It's not about age: at 12 Itachi was an Anbu Captain, but it was not only because of his skill, but also his contribution. Compared to that, Eiji had no experience at all. And worse, he just graduated a few months ago. No matter how strong he was compared to an ordinary Genin his age, he was simply no match for becoming Hokage! Even if excluding Tsunade and Jiraiya, there are some better options like Kakashi for example ."
"Don't worry about that. I will teach and guide him personally, and with his potential, he will become an outstanding Hokage in the future."
"You're talking about potential and the future, but this is the biggest problem! Do you think the other villagers will not realize that he is your puppet and try to get rid of him before he grows up and becomes stronger? Let me remind you of your bad reputation... The other kage wouldn't look away if they knew that you were the mastermind and would try to bet the war..."
"Hmph, you think I'll let them? Enough with the talk, Daimyo's already made a decision, right?"
"You, I sincerely hope Konoha will not fall for your greed and ambition..."
"Danzo, we will only accept this, if Tsunade is allowed to join the board. Considering the situation, this was only fair to him..."
'Hmph! You know that since I control Eiji, I will be able to join the board in a few days. You just want to keep the balance, with Tsunade joining your faxes!' - Danzo didn't show his thoughts on his face and left after saying: "He can join."
