Chapter 295 The Dagger Revealed

Shiro was not surprised at Danzo's attack, because once Shiro's proposal was passed, the newly established department would at least have a majority share, if not be completely under Shiro's control.

After all, he is the person who knows Akatsuki best in the village, so this position can be said to belong to him.

And who is Shiro now? The village's new star, promoted to jonin at just 14. It's not a record-breaking feat, but it's still quite impressive.

Secondly, behind them is the Emiya clan, which already has a certain influence in the Fire Country. Although its power is small, it has already taken shape.

Finally, Shiro is Sakumo's disciple, has a good character, and is easygoing.

When all these conditions are combined, Shiro becomes a strong candidate for Hokage. Of course, he is only slightly outstanding now and has not reached that level yet.

But if Shiro really sets up this department, his reputation will definitely be improved to a certain extent, not to mention his status.

What would Danzo have to do with the Hokage position then? With so many young and promising ninjas in the village, why would they choose an old and frail one?

Therefore, Danzo refused in this matter. If someone else was in charge, he would have no objection, but not Shiro.

However, this was also within Shiro's expectations. Danzo was always trying to stir up trouble, so it was only natural for him to object. Hmm? Troublemaker? Something seemed off.

The last thought did not stay in Silang's mind for long. Silang glanced at the others and found that they did not seem to be prepared to speak for Silang. They were all looking at him, obviously, wanting to see his plan.

Therefore, in response to Danzo's scolding, Shiro chuckled.

"Heh, I wonder what Danzo-sama means? This is a suggestion Hokage-sama asked me to make. I'm just making it based on the current situation. The village shouldn't be too short of funds to even add a new department right now, right?"

"Of course there's funding. What I want to ask is, who will manage it after it's established? No, it won't be you, right?"

"Danzo-sama, is there anyone more suitable? Is there anyone who knows Akatsuki better than me?"

"Hmph, are you capable enough? Although your strength as a Jonin is good, it is far from enough to control an entire department. For things like this, I think it's better to wait until you become an elite Jonin!"

Danzo thought that this reason was a good one, because it was indeed true, and the strength of the senior ninja was already very good.

However, if this department is to be established, it needs strong enough combat power. After all, the strength of Xiao’s people is not bad, so obviously, the strength of the department head cannot be low.

After all, if your strength is low, you won't be able to convince the public, and your efficiency will only be lower. This is very correct, as can be seen from the fact that the third generation and the two consultants nodded slightly after listening.

Therefore, after finishing speaking, Danzo looked at Shiro confidently, but unexpectedly, Shiro seemed to be more confident than before, with a smile on his face.

Of course Silang was happy. He had been chatting awkwardly for a long time just to bring the topic to this point. After all, Silang was not good at speaking and it was difficult for him to convince them with just his mouth.

However, strength is more important than anything else in the ninja world, so all you need to do is lead the topic here. Originally, Shiro was planning to have another awkward chat and forcefully bring up this topic, but who knew that Danzo fell into the trap himself? How could Shiro not be happy?

Therefore, Shiro asked Danzo with a slight smile: "I would like to ask Danzo-sama, the elite jonin should be ranked rather than based on strength, right?"

"That's right, but elite jonin are all much stronger than ordinary jonin, so you don't have to doubt your rating. Humph, the road is long to go."

"Heh, I'm very satisfied with my title. I have no objection. After all, this is already a promotion. But I just don't know how much weaker this strength is than that of an elite jonin!"

"call!"

As soon as Shiro finished speaking, he suddenly released his huge chakra, forming a huge airflow blowing towards them, an airflow caused purely by the amount of chakra!

Feeling the strong sense of oppression coming from Shiro, everyone present, except Kushina and the other three, looked at Shiro in shock.

When it comes to strength, no matter how much you talk about it, it is not as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes, especially the burst of chakra, which is even more contagious.

This includes Mito, who had met Shiro a year ago. Because Shiro had not displayed this level of chakra in the previous mission, he was also very surprised at Shiro's performance.

Among them, Kushina and the others were the calmest, because they already knew Shiro's chakra amount yesterday, and this outburst was also part of their plan, so they were naturally not as surprised as they were.

"Okay, Shiro, restrain your chakra. This way of using it is too wasteful."

"Hmm? Senior Tiezhu, are you also researching ways to conserve chakra?"

"Of course, with that method you will become stronger, stronger than an elite jonin."

"Hehe, this depends on what Danzo-sama thinks. I wonder if I have the strength of an elite jonin just now?"

"Hmph! What's the use of strength alone? Your age won't convince others. Hiruzen, what do you mean?"

Obviously, Danzo was also a little worried that Shiro had other countermeasures. After all, Uzumaki Iron Pillar had been on his side just now. He was the first one who didn't believe that the two had no contact.

Therefore, he quickly threw the problem to the third generation. He believed that the third generation would not make a decision that would disappoint him, and this was indeed the case.

After hearing this, the Third Generation thought for a moment and said, "What Shiro said makes sense. The corresponding department still needs to be established. Although we don't know much about Akatsuki's purpose at the moment, the threat is definitely not small. We must prepare early."

Then, he changed the subject: "However, as Elder Danzo said, Shiro is still too young and may not be able to convince the public, so we need to find a more suitable candidate. You can also recommend one."

After hearing this, Danzo's mouth curled up slightly. It was exactly as he thought. However, just when he was about to introduce himself, Shirou Emiya spoke again.

"Hokage-sama, I have it."

"Emiya Shirou! Do you intend to disobey the Hokage's decision?"

"Shiro, you are indeed not suitable for this position. Your age is not enough to convince the public. Let's wait a few years." After Danzo finished speaking, the third generation also spoke, with a hint of dissatisfaction and a little disappointment in his tone.

Obviously, the third generation was a little annoyed by Shiro's repeated requests.

But Shiro didn't care about that. After all, once the plan was accomplished, both of them would be upset. So Shiro ignored them and continued speaking.

"Hokage-sama, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that I have a suitable candidate. I think Minato is very suitable, both in terms of age and strength. I just don't know what Hokage-sama thinks?"
