Chapter 2461 After the Meeting

"Hiruzen, what's going on with Orochimaru?"

"The power that has been dead for a long time? Are you referring to Qianye? During this period, a considerable part of the power has been transferred. Qianye has not shown up yet. What are you planning, or are you really sure that this is Really Chiba?”

After watching everyone leave and announcing the end of the meeting, two questioning voices rang out from behind the Third Hokage, who was about to return to the office to handle business as usual.

"Oh, Men Yanhe and Xiaochun."

But when he heard these two voices, the Third Hokage was not surprised. He just turned around and looked at the two consultant elders who were also old, but were still conscientiously staying on the front line like him. He said with some emotion.

"Hiruzhan..."

But after hearing the somewhat emotional words of the Third Hokage, Mito Kado and Koharu, who originally wanted to ask questions, changed their expressions slightly. After looking at each other, they spoke subconsciously, in their tone, But it was already a bit sad.

"Is it possible for you?"

Later, as the two followed Sarutobi Hiruzen into the direct passage leading to the Hokage's office, and after confirming that no one was around, they couldn't help but speak.

As old comrades-in-arms for decades, they have been fighting side by side for a long time, whether on the battlefield or in the political situation. From childhood to adulthood, although they were very close to each other when they were young, after all, they each have their own playmates, but , since they became the disciples of the Second Hokage, they have become familiar with each other after many dangers. Up to now, although they have not been together for a long time due to their respective positions, they even have to avoid suspicion sometimes.

However, their relationship has long been beyond the description of partners, relatives, best friends, etc.

Regardless of whether they have the same political views or whether they have opposing positions, their feelings for each other are already deep to a certain extent.

It would not be an exaggeration to use the word "family" to describe it.

At this moment, just by relying on the change in the Third Hokage's tone, they had already sensed something.

And since they met Hiruzen, this was the first time they heard the Third Hokage speak in such a tone.

It was obvious that the Third Hokage, who had been all-powerful for decades, really wanted to abdicate in front of him.

I have really lost my spirit.

It's also true that he is unwilling or even unable to become Hokage anymore.

"Is it Chiba?"

When the words that he couldn't help but speak fell, before the Third Hokage could speak, Koharu turned to bed, frowned slightly, and spoke again.

According to the current situation, if the Third Hokage wants to abdicate and no longer serve as Hokage, then the most suitable candidate is naturally Chiba, who has disclosed the fact of his survival internally.

Originally, more than ten years ago, long before the Fourth Hokage came to power, this child and Kakashi were almost the only candidates for the Fifth Hokage. Later, due to the mission, Kakashi lost his energy and fell into confusion. And this child began to truly shine, shocking the entire ninja world.

Gradually, Chiba became the only candidate for the future Fifth Hokage.

Moreover, in order to avoid the situation where the current Hokage would have no successor for a period of time after the previous Hokage died in battle, so when training the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, he also began to train the candidate of the fifth Hokage Chiba. , making him the Hokage's assistant, and gradually opening up the village's access to confidential information, were all aimed at cultivating and testing the child's character and political outlook.

And this child's performance, to be honest, can be said to have inspired the entire top management of Konoha, and even some middle-level cadres who knew about it. It is so perfect. This child is simply the perfect candidate for Hokage, just like the fifth one given to Konoha by God. Same as Dai Hokage.

Externally, this child has shown outstanding military talents, especially in terms of the overall situation. He is simply impeccable. When the Battle of Platycodon Mountain broke out, and after the suppression of the Battle of Platycodon Mountain, and when the Third World War broke out, this child used A series of arrangements stabilized the situation and plunged the ninja world into a state of confrontation, giving Konoha a chance to breathe. Especially the act of single-handedly rescuing the last remaining living force of Sunagakure and returning some of Sunagakure's young geniuses. In terms of military ability and military courage, this child is almost perfect. Whether it is a grand strategy or a deviant strategy, he can perfectly control it. In fact, he was not too powerful at the time and was able to complete it. It is simply incredible. , I am afraid that if this part of the information is made public, it will probably shatter the eyes of all the forces in the entire ninja world.

Internally, although this child did not directly participate in the political struggle, his words and deeds overwhelmed Danzo, who had always been in the dark and was extremely inconsistent with his political views, and he couldn't find it. When it comes to any breakthrough, just with this move, it can be seen that this child has ascended to the position of Hokage. Even if the other four shadows put pressure together, Konoha does not have to worry about being at a disadvantage. Whether it is political talent or political vision and means, this child is also perfect.

At that time, almost everyone believed that Konoha, with the Fourth Hokage and the future Fifth Hokage, would be invincible. At that time, even if there were enemies on all sides, Konoha did not waver.

Even, full of hope for the future.

I just didn’t expect, no one expected, that something like the Nine-Tails Rebellion would happen. Overnight, Konoha actually lost the fourth generation Hokage who could be called the first generation. Also because of the appearance of Uchiha Nobuhiko, Chiba must Turn into darkness.

It can be said that, on the bright side, Konoha has lost two pillars of its future overnight. I am afraid that if the old man in front of me had not stepped forward and used his prestige and various political means to calm the situation, I'm afraid, Konoha is really in danger.

And even if the situation is calmed down, although Konoha is not in ruins, it still has no advantage.

All we can say is that he barely won the Third Ninja War.

Perhaps, this is also destined.

God has given Konoha such a being who is comparable to the first generation, and there will be a being similar to Uchiha Madara in the outside world. The two are like old enemies, no, natural enemies, restraining each other, and disrupting the ecology of the current ninja world.

And now, since the existence of Chiba has been disclosed internally and most of the Hokage authority has been transferred, apart from the fact that ministerial figures in various departments cannot be dismissed at will, it can be said that the whole of Konoha is Chiba. Have the final say.

Coupled with Hiruzen's words, Koharu could only think that the Third Hokage was about to officially pass the position of Hokage to the fifth Hokage who had already been appointed.

"Speaking of which, before Minato came to power, Koharu and Kabuto had already planned to retire."

However, her words did not receive a positive answer from the Third Hokage at this time, but she spoke.

"Um……"

In response, Koharu, who was sleeping, looked at each other again with Mito Kadoyan, nodded, and spoke with some hesitation.

Yes, in fact, when the Third Hokage, that is, Hiruzen in front of him, retired and handed over the position of Hokage to Namikaze Minato, they were actually ready to retire.

After all, as the fourth generation Hokage, Namikaze Minato was quite outstanding in what he did. As a Hokage, he had the demeanor of the first and second generation Hokage, and they could also see at that time that Namikaze Minato was determined to solve the Uchiha clan and the There has been a long-standing conflict between the villages, and as the remnants of the old era, especially the second-generation Hokage's cronies and influence, they are not suitable to serve as advisory elders anymore.

To be honest, although they inherited the political philosophy of the Second Hokage, especially in regard to the Uchiha family, they maintained vigilance and suppression of the Uchiha clan. However, if the Fourth Hokage can moderate the Uchiha during his term of office, If there is a rift between the clan and the village, then when the Fifth Hokage takes over, then the Uchiha clan's problems can be solved without bloodshed. And as long as the Uchiha clan's problems are solved and they are truly conquered by the new Hokage, then Konoha's strength It can definitely be taken to the next level.

It goes without saying that almost everyone in the Uchiha clan has elite strength and combat prowess.

And because of the problems left over from history, although the Uchiha clan has fighting power, it is a pity that the village does not dare to use it more and must always be on guard.

Moreover, the other most powerful family in Konoha is more or less in a protective state and cannot fight for the village with all its strength. In fact, Konoha cannot fully use the two most powerful brands in Konoha.

As for the Fourth Hokage, the Fifth Hokage, Namikaze Minato and Chiba, there would be no problem in conquering the Uchiha clan. And with the strategies and methods of the Fifth Hokage, the Uchiha clan will definitely not be able to turn things upside down, and at the same time, they can also find ways to deal with the extreme mental flaws of the Uchiha clan.

Both of them were convinced of this.

Therefore, in order to facilitate this matter, they were actually willing to retire and make way for Minato Namikaze to solve the historical problems of the Uchiha clan.

It also makes way for Chiba to completely control the Uchiha clan in the future.

Moreover, they are also old and their work as advisory elders is much less than that of Hokage, but they have the same things to worry about.

It was also a bit too much for the two old people.

And Mito Muko, the granddaughter of Mito Kadeni, has gradually grown into an excellent ninja. It is time to pass on what should be handed over to the next generation. It is time to enjoy her old age.

As for Koharu, who has no children, she has devoted her whole life to Konoha, regardless of her merits and demerits. As a lonely old man, she is also prepared to live her last days well, and maybe try a young man. Sometimes I want to do something, but in the end I don’t do it.

Those were the things that were agreed with the unknown son, no, it should be said to be the holy son, but now they can only be realized by one person. ,

But due to the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Konoha instantly hit rock bottom. Under internal and external troubles, their retirement plans could only be put on hold. As always, they were always worried about things that needed to worry them.

Also because of the loss of the Fourth Hokage, especially when the Fifth Hokage may never be able to serve. After all, chasing Uchiha Nobuhiko, or secretly containing him, is a matter of life and death.

Even Chiba cannot say that he can come back alive 100% of the time.

After losing the two people and encountering the problem of the Uchiha clan, they could only support Danzo and eliminate this wild horse that no one could control.

"I don't agree with handing over the position of Hokage to the current Chiba. During this period, Chiba's contacts were all one-sided. In the dark world, I don't know what happened to him. He was involved in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. After losing everything, even if Chiba is a special existence, there are still situations where he is no longer suitable to become Hokage, because of his own experiences, especially after losing everything, he became a crazy and cold ninja. From what we have seen, we don’t know No matter how many people there are, the current Chiba is not necessarily an exception. I feel that the current Chiba is no longer suitable to become Hokage."

After this reply, Koharu frowned slightly when he went to bed, but he pushed the topic back to the issue of Naruto.

"I will not pass my position to Chiba."

But at this time, after hearing the two people's responses and Koharu's words, the Third Hokage shook his head and said.

"Not passing it on to Chiba?"

In response to this, Mito Kadoyan, who was originally looking at Koharu who was sleeping with a little surprise because of Koharu's words, suddenly turned his head and looked at the Third Hokage, almost exclaiming in surprise.

Not passed on to Chiba?

At this time, Xiaochun, who raised objections, was also stunned.

Who else can it be passed on to?

At the same time, after their respective thoughts flashed through their minds, the same thought flashed through their minds.

"Xiaoharu, I know you care about Qianye. I'm afraid you are the only one among us who would care about Qianye like this. Indeed, we have placed too many burdens on Qianye. He was only a teenager back then. My child, and from that time on, there was almost no day left for me to live for myself. I don’t intend to impose the matter of Naruto on Chiba anymore.”

In response, the Third Hokage showed a slight smile on his lips and spoke softly.

"this……"

After hearing these words, Mito Kadoyan showed a bit of hesitation on his face and murmured in his mouth.

The Third Hokage said this, and he understood.

But, is there anyone more suitable than Chiba in Konoha Village now?

I am indeed sorry for Chiba, but compared with the village, Chiba's personal life is a matter of fish and bear's paw.

It's cold, but it concerns the millions of people in the village and the millions of future generations.

Even the welfare of everyone in the entire ninja world.

Chiba is definitely a being who can bring peace to the ninja world, and leaving Konoha Village to him is the only choice.

"Hiruzhan..."

At the same time, a complex look flashed across Xiaochun's face after his opinion was adopted.

"I understand what you mean. We do owe Qianye a lot. Even because of Zhenye's relationship, we were cautious and did not give Qianye too much warmth. This time, let me put aside these cautions and be willful. Just once."

In response, the Third Hokage spoke.

"So, who is the candidate for the Fifth Hokage?"

After hearing this, Xiaochun asked directly without worrying about the previous question.

"This is what I want to tell you too, regarding the selection of the Fifth Hokage, we..."

At this time, Xu knew that Koharu would ask this when he went to bed. The third Hokage's face did not change, but he said seriously:

"Ask Chiba!"
