Tenshin Komatsu echoed, "Menyan is right. At such a critical juncture, only us two old bones can take command. After Konoha is rebuilt, we'll select the next Hokage anew."
Neither of them coveted the position of Hokage, but before a new generation of Hokage took office, they hoped to gain more say.
With all the trouble on the shoulders of the Hokage, why not share the benefits between the two advisers? Wouldn't that be splendid?
Kakashi also changed his usual listless demeanor and said, "Advisers, you are now suspected of collusion. We hope for your cooperation."
As soon as he finished speaking, several Anbu members arrived behind Tenshin Komatsu and Mito Menma, restraining the two of them.
"What are you doing?" Mito Menma asked loudly, "Kakashi, are you trying to rebel? Jiraiya, you just stand by and watch? Are you also betraying Konoha?"
