Chapter 420 I Really Don’t Want to Be Hokage

at the meeting.

Representatives of all the major families gathered together. In the past, this kind of thing was all presided over by senior officials. Now that the senior officials are all gone, everyone is still not used to it.

On the steps, Nara Shikaku presided over this meeting. He was the Jonin squad leader, so it was appropriate to chair this meeting on behalf of the senior leaders.

He got straight to the point: "Everyone must know what happened, so I won't talk nonsense. If you have any ideas about the position of Hokage, you can put it forward now."

Originally, electing the position of Hokage required a very cumbersome process, but now is an extraordinary period, and only extraordinary measures can be taken.

The village is in an extremely turbulent situation. It is necessary to elect a Hokage as soon as possible to stabilize the overall situation and prevent the enemy from taking advantage of this opportunity to do anything.

Listening to what Nara Shikaku said, it was impossible for everyone to say that they were not interested in the position of Hokage.

Originally, the position of Hokage was unattainable, but now it suddenly becomes more subtle.

Give it a try, just in case you see a ghost.

As a result, some members of small families who couldn't see the formality jumped out one after another and expressed their desire to become the Hokage.

Then.

There's no after that.

The big ninja clan didn't say anything, which didn't mean they didn't have any ideas. They were just weighing the pros and cons and choosing a position.

Among the major ninja clans, the Uchiha clan is undoubtedly the most powerful and powerful.

Their clan has been eyeing the position of Hokage for a long time.

In the past, the higher-ups had been deliberately suppressing them, so that they did not gain much real power in the village. Now that the higher-ups are all burping, and without restraints, they will naturally not give up this opportunity.

Originally, there was the Thousand Hands Clan to contend with them, but now the Thousand Hands Clan has been reduced to pieces, and the clansmen have dispersed across the village. To put it nicely, it means that you have me among you, and you have me among you. No one can choose.

Everyone sighed inwardly. It seemed that there was no accident. There was a high probability that this Hokage would be born from the Uchiha clan.

At this time, a person stood up.

Everyone looked at him one after another. The man had black hair and white eyes, and a solemn face.

That was the leader of the Hyuga clan—Hyuga Hizashi.

Could it be...do they have any ideas?

Everyone suddenly realized.

Yes, why did you forget the Hyuga clan?

Although the overall strength of the Hyuga clan is slightly inferior to that of the Uchiha clan, their strength cannot be underestimated.

Considering that the Uchiha clan has too many enemies, everyone will recommend Hinata Hizashi as Hokage even if it is for the reason of dislike.

Seeing that Hinata Hizashi actually had ideas, Nara Shikaku was a little surprised: "Hizashi, do you want to be Hokage?"

Hinata Hizashi shook his head: "No, I plan to nominate Aokiji as Hokage, that's all."

Hinata Hizashi's words were unintentional, dropping a bomb among everyone and causing an uproar.

They were all ready to follow up, but the leader voted directly?

What's happening here.

Nara Shikaku suddenly remembered something. When Danzo was killed, Hyuga Hizashi was directly involved.

Although I don't understand how Uchiha managed to win over the Hyuga clan, it is no longer important. The two strongest families have joined forces. It is already a certainty that Aokiji of the Uchiha clan will serve as Hokage. Now it is just a smooth process.

This huge gap in strength made Nara Shikaku, who is good at solving problems with resourcefulness, feel very desperate for the first time. Now he can only cooperate with the scene: "This is really surprising. What's the reason?"

"I hope that the village will be led by a tough person and that appeasement policies will not be adopted for the sake of the so-called overall situation."

All the senior officials are dead, so Hinata and Hinata don't have to worry about anything.

It happened two years ago. Most of the people here have experienced this incident. When Hinata Hizu said this, they quickly made associations.

It can be seen that Hinata Hizashi has always been worried about the treatment of Kumoyin Village by the senior management.

Some time ago, the top management of Aoki Steel finally broke up on bad terms. Together with the Aoki Uchiha clan, everyone has already seen how tough Ao Pheasant will be after he comes to power.

If something like this happened in Yunyin Village again, with Aoki's behavior, he would definitely choose to go to war directly.

Nara Shikaku sighed inwardly. It seemed that Hizashi had never let go of what happened back then.

Perhaps it was because of this incident that the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan finally came together.

With the official end of the Hyuga clan and Aokiji openly supporting Uchiha, other people's psychological balance began to be directed towards Aokiji and they also expressed their support for Aokiji's election.

Especially those who were dissatisfied with past cake divisions.

The four major families have fallen, and the Uchiha clan cannot finish such a big cake. They can just take the opportunity to obtain greater benefits through the platform.

Some support Uchiha and some oppose Uchiha. Some people also use the method of recommendation to fight: "I choose Jiraiya-sama..."

If anyone can compete with Uchiha's Aokiji, Jiraiya is undoubtedly the best candidate. He is not inferior to Aokiji in terms of qualifications and strength. What's more important is that he is a disciple of the Third Hokage, as well as the fourth generation. Master Hokage.

With this relationship, it is not impossible for Jiraiya to be elected as Hokage. The only problem is that Jiraiya himself does not seem to be very willing to be the Hokage. Otherwise, when the fourth Hokage died, the third Hokage would not have to step in to replace him.

The two parties refused to yield to anyone, and their respective generals did not say a word. For a time, a divided court was formed to fight against each other.

If this continues, there will be no end. This is exactly what happened to the Uchiha clan at the beginning. Uchiha Inari, who has a relatively hot temper, stood up and said: "I think the position of Hokage belongs to Aoji-sama."

His attitude was arrogant and he seemed to be sacrificing me for the green pheasant, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from the opposition:

"In terms of qualifications and strength, Jiraiya-sama is not inferior to Aokiji-sama, and more importantly, Jiraiya is also the disciple of the Third Hokage and the master of the Fourth Hokage. I think Jiraiya-sama should be the one who can truly be elected as Hokage. , what’s your reason?”

Uchiha Inabi slapped his hands on the table: "It's very simple. If you choose Aokiji-sama, you will win. If you choose Jiraiya-sama, you will lose."

Now it seems that Uchiha is about to officially step into the position of Hokage, and Uchiha will not tolerate this matter at all.

"W-what did you say!?"

"Don't give me nonsense. Strength is the most weighty word." Uchiha quoted a passage from Aokiji: "If I remember correctly, Aoki-sama seems to have always been stronger than Jiraiya-sama." Bar."

"you……"

Uchiha Ino said arrogantly: "I have finished my answer. Who is in favor and who is against."

He spoke so arrogantly that the opponents would not tolerate it and shouted: "I object!"

"Yes, I object too."

Uchiha Inui failed to show off, his eyes revealed the three Magatama Sharingan, and he planned to regain his place

At this time, a voice sounded, with a reproachful tone: "What are you doing, what are you doing, don't be impatient and lose your temper. You will make people in the Uchiha clan feel that everyone in the Uchiha clan is being unreasonable."

As he spoke, Aokiji released a huge amount of chakra, causing the surrounding temperature to drop suddenly. It seemed like he was teaching Inui a lesson, but in fact he was trying to intimidate everyone.

Everyone was shocked. Is this perverted chakra really a human?

Didn't he lose his tailed beast?

What happened to this tailed beast-level chakra that it actually lowered the temperature of the surrounding air without forming any seals?

Uchiha sweatdropped and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, Aoji-sama..."

The subordinate admitted his mistake with a correct attitude, Qingzhi smiled: "That's right, what should you say? Besides, I have no interest in Hokage..."

Uchiha Inabi was stunned: "Lord Aokiji, what are you talking about?"

Not to mention that Uchiha Inabi couldn't understand Aokiji, neither could anyone else.

"The thing I regret most now is to succeed Fugaku as the Uchiha clan leader. I don't have any freedom at all."

Qing Zhi was heartbroken: "Now that I think about it, the happiest thing for me is riding a bicycle on the street, carefree."

"..."

"You asked me to be Hokage, but you still think I don't have enough things to do."

"..."

Nara Shikaku could not understand Aokiji more and more, how could he not be interested in Hokage even though he had done these things behind his back.

He followed the other person's words and looked at the other person: "In that case, Master Jiraiya..."

Jiraiya shook his head and said solemnly: "My personality is not suitable for being Hokage, and to be honest, my strength is indeed no match for him."

Jiraiya and Nara Shikaku had the same idea. There was no way that Aokiji would not be interested in Naruto. If he just went down the road like this, Aokiji might do something crazy again.

And regardless of his own personality, he is very tired now. He really cannot be responsible for such a thing as Hokage.

Neither of them was interested in Naruto, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

"Lord Aoji, you also heard that Lord Jiraiya has no intention of becoming the Hokage." Uchiha Ino advised: "Don't shirk it. With your strength, there is no one more suitable in the village except you." .”

"Hokage, me?" Aokiji shook his hand and continued to shirk: "No, no, I've been away from the village for so long, how can I become Hokage not long after I come back? I really don't want to be Hokage."

Uchiha Inui continued to persuade: "Master Aokiji, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the people in the village. Now that something like this has happened, in this extraordinary situation, there must be a strong leader. Management, otherwise other villages will think that our village is easy to bully, which will trigger a war and cause unnecessary sacrifices. Lord Aokiji, are you willing to see this happen?"

With this righteous hat on, Qing Pheasant has to be one even if he doesn't want to be one.

After hearing the conversation between the two people, Nara Shikaku finally understood what was going on.

Dare Qingqing Aoki is directing and acting on his own. If he agrees directly, the purpose is too obvious and secondary. The main reason is that he is afraid of being suspected. He is suspected of killing the Third Hokage.

After all, the Uchiha clan benefits the most from this matter.

Therefore, you should deliberately stage this scene to show it to those who don’t know the truth, so that you can completely clear your suspicions.

Of course, it's one thing to believe it or not, but at least you have to do enough on the surface.

How despicable.

Nara Shikaku cursed secretly

However, the really sad thing is that he can only curse in his heart and dare not say a word, otherwise this madman may do something crazy again.

He even had to cooperate in the performance and give Aokiji a step forward: "What Inari said makes sense, Aoji-sama, please don't shirk it. Let's do it this way. What do you think of this? You can first be the acting Hokage for a while and spend your time." In the current difficult situation, is it appropriate for you to step back until you find the right person?"

Having said all that, Aokiji had no choice but to sigh and reluctantly accept: "There is really nothing I can do against you. In this case, then I will just become Hokage. But I have spoken beforehand, if there is any If there is a suitable candidate, I will step down immediately. When the time comes, don't stop me."

Nara Shikaku said: "Yes, definitely."

Aoki nodded: "In that case, I will serve as Hokage for the time being."

After that, he looked at everyone and smiled slightly: "Which of you agrees and who opposes it? If you have any opinions, you can put them forward now. I have always been very "underworld".

Everyone looked at each other and had no choice but to accept it.

At least Aokiji didn't finish his words and left one thought, although not much.

After everyone had no objections, Aokiji basically became Hokage, but the formality was lacking.

Uchiha Ino said: "Lord Aokiji, killed the high-ranking Asuma and his accomplices..."

Qingzhi glanced at him.

Uchiha Inari understood and immediately changed his mind: "Uh, Hokage-sama, do we want to launch an investigation immediately for killing Asuma and his accomplices who killed high-level officials?"

Qingzhi clenched his fist and hammered the table, showing his iron-blooded side on stage: "Of course, this matter must be paid with blood."

◎

On the rooftop.

Qing Pheasant put his hands on the fence, blowing in the wind, and looked at the scenery below.

Jiraiya stood behind him and taunted: "You are now the Hokage, you must be happy."

"..."

Aokiji didn't respond. The moment he got his revenge, he was really happy, but it became empty after that.

After a long time, he slowly said: "Where are you going to go next?"

Aokiji didn't think Jiraiya would stay in the village now.

Jiraiya is still staying in the village, but he just wants to see how he will win the position of Hokage, so he comes over to taunt him.

"It's none of your business."

The goal has been achieved, and Jiraiya is ready to leave this place of uncertainty.

"This is really not my business, but it is Sarutobi Hiruzen's business."

"What do you mean?"

"I actually didn't kill all of the Sarutobi clan except Asuma, and there was only one person left, you know?"

"What did you say?"

"That child's name is Konohamaru, and he is the grandson of Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Jiraiya glanced at Aokiji, unable to understand him.

Could it be that his conscience is still there?

No, that's not possible.

All the unrelated people in the Aoki Sarutobi clan were killed, so it was impossible to leave this direct descendant.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not because I'm mentally ill and I'm deliberately causing trouble for myself." Qingzhi smiled and said, "This is part of the deal." "

"trade?"

"This is a deal between me and Asuma. In order to prevent civil strife in the village, he chose to kill all the senior officials and fight them all by himself. However, I left blood for the Sarutobi clan, and even the dirty things done by the Hokage, I will not accept. expose."

Jiraiya lowered his head, his expression gloomy.

Qing Pheasant has completely changed, to think of such a vicious method.

Qingzhi smiled and said: "Hey, you know what? This inspiration was given to me by the top management of Konoha."

"What do you mean?"

"Remember what I told you, the higher-ups are planning to kill all my people?"

Jiraiya: "..."

"And their method is the method I am taking now, except that the target is changed to Uchiha Itachi, and the child left behind is Sasuke, who is Itachi's younger brother." Aoki said in a deep voice: "If I hadn't returned in time, When it comes to the Uchiha clan, the picture you see now is that Uchiha Itachi killed all the clan members, shouldered everything, and became a traitorous ninja."

The truth was far crueler than what he knew. Jiraiya took a deep breath: "...Why are you telling me this."

"I'm just telling you again, I don't regret doing these things."

"..."

Aoki said: "Take Konohamaru away, and then change the surname and first name together. Don't be like Naruto, who has an Uzumaki surname in front of him, for fear that others will not know whose child he is.

"He is only one or two years old now and doesn't remember anything. I think the pain I brought to him is far less than the pain that the higher-ups originally wanted to bring to Sasuke. After all, Sasuke doesn't know anything at this time."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice: "Where is he?"

Qing Pheasant told the location.

Jiraiya turned and left.

Qing Pheasant shouted: "You'd better take him far away and never set foot in the village. If I meet and recognize him next time, out of caution, I will kill him without saying anything."

Jiraiya closed his eyes and disappeared from the place the next second.

Jiraiya hugged Konohamaru, left Konoha, and walked to the road.

Suddenly, a figure caught his eye, leaning against a big tree, as if waiting for him here specially.

The man's skin was pale, with conspicuous purple eye shadow on his eyes.

Jiraiya instantly recognized the man's identity, widened his eyes, and said in surprise: "Orochimaru..."
