Chapter 286 The 5th Hokage?

The next morning, there was a solemn atmosphere in Konoha Village.

After a war, death is inevitable.

Where there is death, there is a funeral.

Kakashi was wearing black clothes, holding a white flower in his hand, and walked towards the place where the memorial tablet was.

Today, all those who died will be buried here.

At this time, many people walked towards the place where the consolation monument was.

Kakashi sighed with emotion. At the beginning of time travel, the first thing he did was to attend the funeral.

In the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the casualties were ten times as many as they were at this time, and they even caught up with Minato-sensei and Kushina-san.

Compared to that time, this funeral is obviously a bit underweight.

But that didn't stop the sentimental atmosphere the funeral brought.

"Yo, Kakashi."

A familiar green figure appeared in front of Kakashi.

"Ah, Kai, do you want to go together?"

"Of course, we are forever rivals!"

Kai stretched out his thumb, revealing his white to reflective teeth.

Kakashi smiled slightly and followed Kai to the Memorial Monument.

The world is so wonderful. Thirteen years later, it seems to have returned to the way it was when he first came to this world.

Everything seemed to be yesterday, but it was so long ago.

The young man at that time has grown into an existence that can stand on his own.

Either Kai or Kakashi.

At the beginning, the two had argued over the issue of sacrifice, but at this time, neither of them spoke.

Having experienced so many things in the world, they have already seen this kind of death very thoroughly.

Growth is the process of gradually restraining emotions.

This road is not long, and it is even more unfamiliar to Kakashi.

The two walked slowly, but they finally arrived.

Tombstones everywhere, black crowds, and the gorgeous white flowers.

There was a drizzle in the sky, which didn't wet the clothes, but stained the hair.

Kakashi placed the white flower in the middle, then withdrew, standing silently in the crowd.

At this time, he was just a worshiper, nothing more.

Not long after, the three of Naruto also came here. Naruto put away the usual carefree, and his expression became a little more distressed.

This may be the first time Naruto understands the true meaning of companionship.

There are not too many words, there is just a long silence.

The three generations of Hokage presided over the funeral. He didn't speak as much as before, just said a few words.

The three generations of Hokage who regard all the Konoha people as their children are not feeling well at this time.

Naruto asked Iruka his doubts.

"Iruka-sensei, people...why can you risk your life for others?"

Iruka on the side was stunned when he heard the words. He suddenly remembered that nine years ago, he had asked Kakashi the same question in front of the memorial monument.

Iruka looked at Kakashi, Kakashi nodded, but did not speak.

Iruka touched Naruto's hair and said softly, "Naruto, do you know? When I was your age, I asked Kakashi-senpai the same question."

"Huh? Is that so? What did Kakashi-sensei say?" Naruto asked with a puzzled look.

Iruka smiled and said: "After a person dies alone, everything will disappear, his past, present life and future will disappear together. Many people will die in war or on missions, and will It's really going to die very easily."

"Among these dead people, some people also have dreams. Everyone has what they cherish the most, parents, siblings, friends, lovers, partners in the village, are very important to them. "

"They trust and help each other, and from the moment they are born, they have a bond with someone they feel is important, and this bond will become stronger and stronger over time."

"It doesn't make any sense,

But people who have this bond do it because it's what they cherish the most. In this world, there are far more dreaded things than death, so people choose to guard. "

"So, Naruto, we are not afraid of death, but we are afraid of being powerless and unable to protect our beliefs."

Naruto was thoughtful and looked at Kakashi not far away.

The funeral is over, but life goes on.

The Hokage Building, the Joinin Conference.

The three generations of Hokage sat at the front, and the old face looked very kind.

The three advisors sat next to the third Hokage.

"This time Shayin and Yinnin jointly attacked Konoha. The situation has been investigated clearly. Orochimaru killed the fourth Kazekage and deceived Shayin Village. Although Shayin Village's behavior can be forgiven, compensation is necessary. One point, then we will discuss with Sandyin's mission."

Zhong Shangren nodded when he heard the words, but he didn't have any opinion.

All the elites of Konoha were present, and they were familiar with such things.

The three generations of Hokage once again said some things that the village dealt with after the war, and dealt with all these things in an orderly manner.

After all, it is Hokage who has been in power for decades, and no one in Konoha Village is more familiar with these things than him.

An hour later, these things are all dealt with.

Just when everyone thought the meeting was coming to an end, the three generations of Hokage suddenly said: "The incident of Orochimaru's attack on Konoha this time makes me feel deeply guilty. Back then, Orochimaru escaped from my hands, which led to today's disaster, So, I am going to take the blame and resign."

Everyone was shocked, and Lu Jiu said: "Three generations of adults, this matter needs to be considered more. Replacing Hokage is a very troublesome thing, and it may affect Konoha who has just settled down at this time."

"Lu Jiu, I've considered this matter, Konoha now needs a new leader, and I'm getting older, and I'm a little powerless, so no matter where it comes from, the new Hokage should also take office. My old bones should have rested as early as thirteen years ago, and over the years, I have also been tired."

"This..." Lu Jiu was silent for a moment, and knew that what the three generations of Hokage said was very reasonable.

"Okay, the next step is to determine the candidate for the new Hokage. Today, everyone will choose a new Hokage, and then I will report it to the lord, and make the final decision."

As soon as the three generations of Hokage said this, all the upper ninjas looked at each other in dismay, as if thinking about who the new Hokage was.

Hyuga Hizu and Uchiha Fuyue are also very calm at this time, because they all know that the position of Hokage is definitely not the two of them.

Whether it is the Hinata clan or the Uchiha clan, they are all important strengths of Konoha, and if the patriarchs of these two families become Hokage, they will inevitably bring favors to their own families.

And when Hokage, in addition to ability, also needs justice.

Although it is possible to be partial, it is absolutely not possible to put the interests of the family above the village.

Kakashi suddenly felt that many eyes were on him, especially the eyes of the third Hokage, full of expectations.

Kakashi smiled bitterly, are these people all interested in him?

The meeting room, which had been noisy just now, fell silent in an instant, and Shikahisa Nara stood up again and said, "Sir Sandai, I recommend Kakashi Hatake as the fifth Hokage."

"The reasons are as follows: 1. Hatake Kakashi is the disciple of the fourth generation of adults, the son of Lord White Fang, and has a prominent identity. Second, Hatake Kakashi once defeated the fourth generation of Raikage and prevented the invasion of Yunyin Village in time. Third, Hatake Kakashi is the Minister of Anbu and has the ability to command the commander, fourth, at this time, Orochimaru invaded Konoha, and Kakashi's performance is obvious to all."

"Combining these four points, Hatake Kakashi is absolutely qualified to serve as the fifth Hokage, please consider the third generation."

The three generations of Hokage smiled and nodded, saying: "Lu Jiu's words are very reasonable, so please vote."

All the Shangren looked at each other a few times, and then all raised their hands.

Hinata looked at Kakashi kindly, and immediately raised his hand.

When Kakashi solved the crisis of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizu has always been grateful to Kakashi, and the relationship between the two is not bad. If Kakashi becomes Hokage, it will only benefit the Hyuga clan.

Uchiha Fuyue also raised his hand, and Fuyue saw everything Kakashi did for the Uchiha family.

Fuyue believes that Kakashi becoming Hokage is definitely the best choice for the Uchiha family.

Almost all of them raised their hands, which surprised Kakashi a little. It turned out that he had accumulated so many contacts without knowing it.

Seeing this, the third Hokage smiled and said, "Hatake Kakashi, are you willing to serve as the fifth Hokage?"
