Chapter 515: Finally, I, Shimura Danzō, Ascend the Throne!
Currently, the Pain invasion battle had just ended.
Although all the casualties had been revived, Konoha was still in ruins. The giant crater and thousands of destroyed buildings could not be repaired in a short time.
Coupled with the threat from other villages, makeshift tents now filled the outskirts of the village, heavily guarded by surveillance troops.
While accommodating the residents, they were also vigilant against enemy attacks.
At the same time.
To report to the Fire Country Daimyō and request reconstruction funds, the Konoha higher-ups—including the two Hokage advisors, Root leader Danzō, the Anbu commander, and Shikaku Nara—had arrived in the capital.
They held an important meeting with the Fire Country Daimyō and officials.
During the meeting, Danzō seized the opportunity.
On the grounds that Tsunade—the Fifth Hokage—was still in a coma due to chakra exhaustion, he nominated himself as the Sixth Hokage to lead the village.
Despite opposition from Shikaku and the others—who proposed Kakashi as the Sixth Hokage—and initial agreement from the Daimyō, Danzō managed to win the debate.
By vehemently blaming Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Minato, and Tsunade, he successfully intimidated the Daimyō.
