Chapter 308:
Danzo quickly processed what Hiruzen meant by recommending Tsunade as Hokage.
Why Tsunade?
According to Hiruzen's character, wouldn't Jiraiya or Namikaze Minato be better options? Even if not them, wouldn't Sakumo have been a more suitable candidate?
So why had it suddenly fallen to Tsunade?
"The Reanimation Jutsu? Orochimaru?" Danzo muttered to himself, a realization dawning on him. "So that's it!"
In mere moments, Danzo pieced together the entire puzzle.
Reanimation Jutsu was a complex technique for most, but for researchers like the Second Hokage or Orochimaru, it was almost trivial.
Danzo had long suspected that Orochimaru was behind the appearance of the reanimated ninja during the recent war, including the First and Second Hokages. But why Orochimaru, a known rogue ninja, would return to assist Konoha was a mystery he couldn't solve.
Now, hearing Hiruzen recommend Tsunade as Hokage, Danzo connected the dots.
