Invasion of Pain arc
Following the destruction of Konoha by Pain, the daimyo assembles a meeting to discuss how to proceed. Although he is reluctant to replace the comatose Hokage, Tsunade, he likes Shikaku Nara's idea of Kakashi Hatake becoming Hokage. When Danzo points out that Kakashi would be yet another Hokage who would create problems for the village, the daimyo appoints him as Hokage instead.
