"What we need to do now is not to rush. Everyone is tired. Let's rest for three hours. Then we will return to Konoha Village in one go. Let's all show our triumphant attitude!"

The voice of Minato Namikaze was sonorous and powerful. Now he was ready to fight for the position of Hokage. Now these ninjas were the basis for him to fight for the position of Hokage.

He didn't know how many of these people still supported others.

But even so.

He also felt that he could turn these people into his subordinates with his strong personal charm, so he cared about them as much as he cared about his subordinates.

Minato Namikaze was not a person who knew nothing. He was enthusiastic and gentle. He was like the sun, shining on the people around him with his light and bringing them warmth, but he also knew that the world was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. If you want to become a Hokage, it is definitely not as simple as you say.

In the past, Minato Namikaze thought that the position of Hokage was passed down from generation to generation, and as long as he did his best, he might become Hokage. However, after he defined his goal as becoming Hokage, he gradually understood after studying the successors of the previous Hokage that this was not such a simple matter. There were factions among the Hokage, and he was not sure which faction he should belong to.

Because of this, he felt that he actually had no foundation, which was very easy to understand. He watched some records of the first generation Hokage, which were in the archives of the Hokage's office, and he was qualified to go there to watch these things.

About half a year ago, he aspired to become the strongest Hokage among the Hokage, and he knew very well that the strongest Hokage among the current Hokage was the first generation Hokage, Senju Hashirama!

Namikaze Minato went to see some records of Senju Tobirama becoming the first Hokage. He understood that Konoha Village was co-founded by Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, or it can be said that it was co-founded by the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan. The two clans had been fighting each other for many years, so when selecting the first generation Hokage, which clan leader became the Hokage was crucial to the subsequent development of their clan.

There are no detailed records on the scrolls of various details.

However, Namikaze Minato found that Senju Hashirama initially advocated Uchiha Madara to become the Hokage, but he didn't know what happened. Uchiha Madara left Konoha Village and became an enemy of Konoha Village. He even returned to Konoha Village to duel with Senju Hashirama.

It was at that time that Uchiha Madara died in that duel, and not long after the duel, the first generation Hokage Senju Hashirama also died, and a great era of myths came to an end.

These made Minato Namikaze's keen sense of smell immediately feel that there seemed to be some mystery hidden in the position of Hokage. It was not as easy and simple as the records said. It seemed that there was some struggle hidden. Otherwise, according to the situation of Senju Hashirama praising Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Madara should have become Hokage!

This story made Minato Namikaze understand a word - the longer the night, the more dreams there are!

He even brought his own role into Uchiha Madara to think about it. If he was Uchiha Madara, he and Senju Hashirama co-founded Konoha Village, and the other party praised him as the first generation Hokage, then in this case he should be the Hokage. He couldn't figure out why Uchiha Madara would eventually give up the position of Hokage, or... be abandoned.

When Minato Namikaze saw this at the beginning, he felt that there was something wrong with it, but he was puzzled and couldn't figure out what kind of accident had happened, so that the position of Hokage returned to Senju Hashirama.

These things were originally secrets and were not recorded in the scrolls of Konoha Village. Only some elders of the two families at that time knew about it. Even ordinary people in the village only had some guesses, but they dared not say more.

But these things happened too long ago. Those who were family elders when Hashirama Senju was young have long been gone. When Tobirama Senju became the first generation Hokage, even the current third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was just a child.

Minato Namikaze thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore. He kept this question in his heart. Maybe he would never get the answer, but he could take it as a warning and feel that as long as he didn't really become a Hokage, everything might be a castle in the air and could collapse at any time.

Later, when he saw the second generation Hokage, it was Hashirama Senju's younger brother, Tobirama Senju, who successfully inherited the position of Hokage.

When inheriting the position of Hokage, there were almost no competitors and no voting, because before the last period of Senju Hashirama's life, the position of Hokage had been passed to Senju Tobirama, and not only that, according to the records on the scroll, as early as the time of the first generation Hokage Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama was already the actual boss of Konoha Village. Many decisions were made by Senju Tobirama, even if Senju Hashirama wanted to make any decision, it had to be approved by Senju Tobirama's nod.

This made Namikaze Minato feel an unprecedented pressure.

Before he set living as his own goal, he did not think about these problems, but just felt that passing the position to Senju Tobirama was not something difficult to understand, but a matter of course.

But now if he puts his identity in that era, he will realize a problem. Any ninja who aspires to become Hokage actually has no hope at the end of their dream.

No matter what kind of efforts they make!

No matter what kind of contributions they make!

No matter what kind of great ninja they will become!

The second generation Hokage of Konoha Village was destined after Hashirama Senju became Hokage!

It is impossible for anyone else!

In other words...

Everyone's dream at that time was a false dream!

None of their dreams could be successfully realized!

Because in the position of Hokage, there is no relationship, no faction, no qualification to talk about dreams, and no way to achieve any major achievements.

Namikaze Minato looked around the entire Konoha Village. Whether it was the three major families of Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi, known as the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly, or the Hyuga clan and Uchiha clan who competed for the reputation of the first family, they looked powerful, but they were far away from the power center of Konoha Village. It was almost impossible for them to become Hokage.

It was the time of the third generation Hokage.

The current Third Hokage was decided by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, before his death. There was no public resolution or vote, and no one else was required to participate in the process. The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, could determine everything by himself.

Of course, before the Third Hokage became Hokage, there were some dangers in the process, but whether it was Uchiha Kagami who was competing with him, or Shimura Danzo who was secretly eyeing the position of Hokage, these people were all disciples of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and they also had the qualifications to become Hokage.

In other words...

To this day, Konoha Village has inherited three generations of Hokage, and each Hokage is a direct descendant of the Senju clan!

Namikaze Minato is not sure if he is such a direct descendant!

If it is calculated according to the master-disciple inheritance, then his teacher Jiraiya has such qualifications, and he is Jiraiya's disciple, although there is a generation gap, but he should also be qualified.

However, only the third generation of Hokage took the path of master-disciple inheritance, while the previous two generations of Hokage took the path of family inheritance. There are too few sample cases like this, and it is almost difficult to have reference value.

Namikaze Minato knew that if the third generation of Hokage chose to inherit the position of Hokage through family inheritance, then the successor to the position of Hokage would be someone from the Sarutobi clan, which is also a problem he is currently more worried about.

As for Hatake Sakumo...

Namikaze Minato knew from the beginning that he was a competitor on the road to Hokage.

But he did not think that Hatake Sakumo could eventually sit on the position of Hokage, even without his existence...

Because he had discovered that the position of Hokage was not something that could be easily taken by just any person or a member of a certain family!

There must be some intricate relationships, and these relationships can be summed up in just two words - interests.

It must be a matter of interest!

Namikaze Minato studied the inheritance of the position of Hokage quite thoroughly. He was naturally talented and extremely smart, and it was easy for him to see the essence of things. In addition, he studied carefully, and it was easy for him to find the key points.

The first generation of Hokage can only be produced from two people, one is Senju Hashirama, and the other is Uchiha Madara, because these two people represent the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan respectively. These two families are the largest forces in Konoha Village, so the right to speak in Konoha Village must be in the hands of people from these two families, and absolutely not others. This is not only because the two people are extremely powerful, but also represents the interests of the two families.

As for the second generation Hokage being Senju Tobirama, it is because the Senju clan needs a new Hokage to continue to maintain the status of the Senju clan in Konoha Village, which is related to the interests of the entire Senju clan. It is just a pity that the Senju clan did not stand up a person who could continue, and after the handover of the third generation Hokage, it disappeared in Konoha Village, becoming a mysterious history.

Without the Senju clan, the interests of the Senju clan would not matter. At the critical moment, Senju Tobirama chose Sarutobi Hiruzen, who he was relatively optimistic about. This had nothing to do with the interests of the Senju clan, but with the interests of Konoha Village. However, in the face of such interests, Senju Tobirama was still willing to believe in the people he wanted to believe, rather than those who were truly more capable.

Then...

Namikaze Minato has deeply realized this.

Now this matter.

The Third Hokage has represented the interests of the Sarutobi clan!

As long as the Third Hokage is still there, the interests of the Sarutobi clan are still there, and in order to ensure the interests of the Sarutobi clan, the successor chosen by the Third Hokage is likely to be a member of the Sarutobi clan.

This has caused some restrictions on Namikaze Minato becoming Hokage!

Namikaze Minato understood this deeply, so his face was not so relaxed. If it were someone else, he would have the qualifications to become a Hokage, but that was just an appearance. If we talk about these appearances, Hatake Sakumo also had the qualifications to become a Hokage in the past, but he only had a half-sleeved Hokage robe.

A lesson from the past!

Although Minato Namikaze did not completely believe what Hatake Sakumo said, he did know that this was a lesson learned from the past and could be used as a reference. Especially after listening to some stories told by Hatake Sakumo himself, he already believed that if he did not do anything this time, then the merits he had accumulated would turn into a half-sleeved Hokage robe.

If so.

Then he would lose the possibility of becoming Hokage.

You must know that such an attack defeated the Third Ninja World War. If he could not become Hokage even with this, he could not imagine any greater merit!

After this battle, all ninja villages will recuperate. There will be no war for at least 10 years. Only small-scale frictions can occur. The pattern of the ninja world will return to a relatively stable scene.

In this case...

Minato Namikaze felt that if he could not make a concerted effort and take this opportunity to become Hokage, then he would not be able to accumulate more merits in the future.

In the end, the position of Hokage will be passed from the Third Hokage to the Fourth Hokage of the Sarutobi clan, just like the First Hokage passed it to the Second Hokage!

Namikaze Minato did not speculate the Third Hokage with the greatest malice. In his heart, he was more inclined to respect the Third Hokage, but it did not mean that he was an ignorant rookie. He still had a defensive mentality. After all, even he knew that if he wanted to become a Hokage, now might be the only chance. Once missed, he would miss it in this life.

"I understand!"

The ninjas at the scene nodded one after another. UU Reading Books wwｗ． uｕkanshu.net They were able to take a breath, and their faces showed a lot of relaxed colors.

After all.

From the beginning of the war to now, their nerves have been almost tense!

Even if they know that standing behind Minato will not be in any danger!

However, this sense of crisis has been lingering in their hearts and has not been easily eliminated!

At this moment, they can rest for a while, which makes them feel extremely tired and invade their hearts, making everyone feel sleepy.

Everyone's eyelids became heavy.

They even wanted to sleep a little longer.

After all, they had heard Minato's order. They had to return to Konoha Village with a full attitude and pretend to be victorious in the war.

At this time.

Minato did not tell them about the position of Hokage.

But everyone knew that Minato wanted to become the fourth Hokage. Even if he didn't say it, they felt it!
