Chapter 124: Candidates for the Fourth Hokage
Lin was eventually rescued and stayed with Obito in the Akatsuki organization.
After awakening, Haki Kakashi returned to Konoha Village in a daze.
The young and young girls in the Matsushima Squad have experienced an extremely important change in their lives, but also those who have experienced important changes are Matsushima Squad.
In Konoha Village, during the Third Ninja World War, the third-generation Naruto gradually felt that his physical strength had declined, and he had already been determined to select the fourth-generation Naruto after the war ended.
But it is a serious question to whom Naruto's position is of great importance and involves all aspects of interests. In addition to being a film-level powerful man, no one can be missing in terms of reputation, power, etc.
The third generation of Naruto thought about it again and again, but he couldn't make up his mind. In his mind, there were several candidates, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Hatsuki Mizuno. These three people were the most ideal candidates in his mind. Of course, if Tsunade did not leave Konoha, he could be considered one.
These three people each have their own advantages, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are all members of the third generation of Naruto. Two are his disciples and one is his disciple, and both can be called the direct line.
He didn't have any other candidates in his hands. He also wanted to compete for Naruto with Uchiha's clan. Other major clans may not have the same idea, but he didn't even think about it. He didn't even look at the candidates recommended by Danzo.
Although the matter afterwards is troublesome, it is not impossible to solve. It is nothing more than balancing the forces in all aspects and then allowing the few people who are qualified to run for the Naruto to prepare for their own preparations. According to the rules of the Konoha period of the first Naruto, the village-wide election will be held.
However, this rule has never been held except when the first Naruto took office. The second Naruto Tomoma, who was promoted to the throne, was the natural successor after Hashirama's death. At that time, he was covered with one hand in Konoha, and no one raised any objections. The so-called general election was just a form and was directly ignored by Tomoma, who was directly ignored by Tomoma, who was not allowed to oppose the situation.
Not to mention the third generation of Naruto Sarutobi Hirozen. At that time, he took over as Naruto in the war in the ninja world and was ordered to be in danger. How could he have time to hold any election with you?
Later, he led Konoha to become stronger and stronger, and also won the hearts of the people. Naruto was as stable as Tarzan, and no one criticized him for this topic.
But this time, the fourth generation of Hokage came back and decided who would be the fourth generation of Hokage, and every Konoha villager... maybe.
Behind the election in the sun, it is not the votes in the hands of the villagers who can decide who is the fourth generation.
Shortly after it was rumored that the fourth generation of Naruto was elected, Jirai took the initiative to find the third generation of Naruto, and said that he was not interested in the position of Naruto and was the first to withdraw from the election.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is still clear about his disciple's character and does not force him.
Among the remaining people, only Orochimaru and Hatsuki Mizuno were qualified to attack the Naruto position, and the answers will be announced in the general election soon... Of course, it will actually be determined earlier.
At the root, Danzo looked at the list of candidates for the fourth generation of Naruto who had already been released in front of him.
If possible, Danzo hoped that he could become a new Naruto. He inherited the consistent policies and character of Tobira Senhou and always believed that Sarutobi was too weak during his administration. Although he did not lack decisiveness during major events, he usually paid too much attention to people's livelihood and conditions, ignored the threats from other countries, and even Konoha was content with the status quo.
If he is made a Naruto, he will definitely lead Konoha to a route of military strength and let Konoha's logo appear anywhere in this world.
Unfortunately, all of this is just his unilateral idea. There is no name among the candidates for the fourth generation of Naruto. It is not other reasons, but because his age is the same generation of elders as the third generation. Since even the third generation of Naruto feels that he has given up his position as Naruto because of his old age, how can he run for the election?
Although his true thoughts in his heart think that he is in his prime, it is no problem to struggle for another twenty years.
He took out the list on the table and looked at the candidates slightly. Although there were many names on it, most of the ones behind were made up for the numbers. Most of them knew that those people could not be elected as the fourth generation of Naruto.
As for the two most likely on the list, they have long become the two people who are eager to talk about Konoha Village, including Mizuno and Orochimaru.
———————————————————————
The bright sunshine shines on the earth. A winter snow just fell not long ago, and it was the coldest time when the snow was melting.
But Konoha Village is completely shrouded in an atmosphere of enthusiasm, and the laughter of the new generation of children is echoing in the streets and alleys.
Thick snow became their best toy, snowballs whistling in the open field, and extremely tall snowmen piled up everywhere under the trees, all kinds of which were clearly red with their hands and faces, but they were happy.
The ninjas looked at all this with a smile, warmed up a pot of hot wine and sat down to chat, which was a supreme enjoyment in this kind of weather.
They did not do anything to clean up the snow. According to the weather, there will be a new snowfall soon, and cleaning it is in vain.
The topics they discussed are naturally inseparable from the hottest Naruto election at the moment. There are many high-profile comments on those candidates, as if the candidate is himself.
In most people's mouths, the one mentioned most is Habuki Mizuno. Most of Konoha's ninja like this very sunny hero. The Fourth Ninja War pushed him to the legendary situation. The Battle of Kanwubi Bridge was even compiled into a script and sung in Konoha.
With only one week left before the Chinese New Year, the Third Hokage has announced that it will select a new Hokage the day before, so as to ensure that tomorrow will be the era of the Fourth Hokage. In other words, there are only less than six days left before the election.
A tavern is now shrouded in an eager environment, and the heat released from the stove permeates the inside, making people feel warm and comfortable as soon as they enter.
The Chunin and Shinin of Konoha Village like this place very much, and even the figures of the Shanginin can be seen frequently.
Some ninjas holding wine glasses were talking nonstop, with obvious drunkenness on their faces, and the whole hall was noisy.
"Hizz... I'm blind, who will be elected in the Naruto election in six days?" A drunken Shinin asked, hiccup. The person he was asking was behind the wine cabinet not far in front of him. The only eye left was smiling and looking at the situation in the store, and his hands kept wiping a wine pot.
He is the owner of this tavern, and no one cares about what the real name is. Ninjas like to call him Lao Yan very much. I heard that it was the third Ninja War that injured his eyes on the battlefield of the Rain Ninja Village. After returning to the village, he bid farewell to the ninja career and opened such a tavern in the village, which is very popular.
The old blind man smiled and said, "How could I know about this kind of thing? I have been away from the ninja profession for so long, so how could I know the current situation? But I heard that the Hakusuku Mizunomen in your conversation recently was very powerful, because there should be a great chance. However, when I became a ninja, it was the third ninja war, and I was still more inclined to Lord Orochimaru. In the past, in the Rain Ninja Village, if it weren't for the legendary three ninjas, we might have sacrificed more ninjas. It's a pity that Lord Tsunade and Lord Jiraiya...ah!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly sighed.
