"You all know that Danzo has died in battle."

"Let's start the new Hokage election now!"

"Because of the imminent threat from the Raikage, we will not be holding the Jonin Conference."

"I nominate Uchiha Yashiro, Hyuga Hiashi, Nara Shikaku, and Hatake Kakashi as the new candidates for Hokage." Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing a Hokage hat and a divine robe, said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, the eyelids of the major clan leaders suddenly twitched, and they were shocked.

"Shikaku! You have a chance to become Hokage." Yamanaka Inoichi immediately connected with Nara Shikaku.

The Ino, Shikaku and Chou clans are of the same blood. If Shikaku really becomes the new Hokage, the Yamanaka and Akimichi clans can also benefit from one person's success, just like the Utane and Mitomon clans.

Among the four nominated people, except Kakashi and Uchiha Yashiro who are not here, Hyuga Hiashi and Nara Shikaku are also very excited.

There was a gleam in the eyes of the lazy Nara Shikaku, while the strict clan rules and regulations made Hyuga Hiashi always keep his face expressionless and hide his emotions.

Naruto!

As long as you grew up in Konoha, no matter who you are, you must have a dream of becoming a Hokage, at least you have had it once.

Even someone as ambitious as Orochimaru has the ambition to become Hokage, let alone Nara Shikaku and Hyuga Hiashi?
but,

After a brief moment of excitement, Nara Shikaku immediately calmed down and said quickly, "Hokage-sama, what qualifications do I, Nara Shikaku, have to become the new Hokage?"

"The role of Hokage should be played by a strong person. As everyone knows, I, Nara Shikaku, am not even an elite jonin. I am just an ordinary jonin. This opportunity should be left to someone who is capable!"

The incident happened suddenly, and even a smart person like Nara Shikaku could not immediately figure out what Sarutobi Hiruzen was up to, but he knew that he could not stay in this venue, not even for a second, otherwise he might die without a burial place.

New Hokage? ?
Ordinary people can see that this is a hot potato, but Nara Shikaku, the recognized smartest man, can't see it?

Anyone with a political mindset could see how much Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to win the championship. Even those without a political mindset would understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts after Wang Ming exposed his shortcomings to his face several times.

If you can believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen would kindly give the position of Hokage to Nara Shikaku, then Nara Shikaku must have had his brain squeezed by a door.

Besides, let’s take the example of Danzo.

When Danzo does not use [Forbidden Technique: Izanagi], his strength is also that of a Kage-level goalkeeper.

Danzo cannot beat Raikage Ai, and is a weakling among the super-kage level, but if he wants to defeat Nara Shikaku, a small jonin, he can still easily defeat him.

Danzo is dead, how stupid must Nara Shikaku be to think he can kill Raikage Ai?
Thinking of this, Nara Shikaku suddenly stood up and was about to speak.

Hinata Hiashi stood up at the same time: "Hokage-sama!"

"I can't even manage the Hizaku clan, how can I be capable of managing Konoha? I don't want this nomination."

"By the way, Hinata is home alone, I'm worried, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, Hyuga Hiashi, without giving Sarutobi Hiruzen any face, stood up and walked straight out of the meeting room. Although his posture still looked calm, his footsteps had already left an afterimage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, somewhat dissatisfied with Hyuga Hiashi's attitude.

Utane Koharu complained: "You're home alone? So you don't know anyone from the Hyuga branch family!"

Wearing sunglasses and sitting quietly with his hands in his pockets, Aburame Zhiwei suddenly frowned: Something is wrong? It is extremely wrong.

You can doubt the Hyuga family's fighting ability, but you must never doubt the Hyuga family's judgment. This family's ability to survive is absolutely maxed out.

The Hyuga family is the descendant of Otsutsuki Hamura, the younger brother of the Six Paths Sage. They originally lived on the moon, but one day they discovered that the Byakugan can cause qualitative change through quantitative change, and awaken the same Rinnegan as their ancestors.

So there emerged an extremist faction that believed that the eyes of 99% of people should be dug out to fuse the Samsara Eye. Then the Moon Otsutsuki were almost dead, and the Hyuga branch ran away quickly, and now the family is still prosperous.

Hyuga Neji hated the [Seal: Caged Bird] on his forehead. The Hyuga family really relied on this seal to save the family. Otherwise, just look at the attitude of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Mist Shadow Village towards the Byakugan, and you will know how attractive their eyes are.

When Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were rampant in the ninja world, he decisively joined Konoha and did not foolishly go to other villages.

When the Kumogakure envoys pressed the Hyuga clan, the Hyuga clan handed over Hyuga Hiashi. Although it looked cowardly, it was actually very tough, which made the Third Generation dare not continue to force the Hyuga clan. At the same time, it also eliminated the pressure from the Kumogakure envoys, so that the Hyuga clan did not have to bear the moral pressure of provoking a war.

The rules of the Hyuga family are very strict? In fact, they are very flexible. Otherwise, why didn't Hyuga Hinata marry Uzumaki Naruto instead of being a "caged bird"?
You can laugh at the Hyuga family's backbone, but you can't laugh at their judgment.

Aburame Shiwei immediately stood up and said, "Hokage-sama, the formaldehyde in the meeting room is too strong. The bugs in my body are very uneasy when they smell it. I will leave first."

"Haha!!! Lord Hokage, I was in such a hurry to go out that I forgot to give my dog ​​food." Inuzuka Tsumugi laughed, then rushed out with a whoosh.

Inuzuka Tsumugi is not smart, but she knows that if she follows Aburame Shiwei, she will definitely not be led into any wrong ways.

As Aburame Shiwei and Inuzuka Tsumugi left one after another, everyone's attention was focused on Nara Shikaku, who had just stood up but had his words interrupted.

Being watched by everyone, Nara Shikaku scratched his hair, smiled awkwardly and said, "Hokage-sama, I came out in a hurry tonight and forgot to close the door. I'll leave first."

When Nara Shikaku stood up, the others also came to their senses and immediately made up outrageous excuses to escape from the meeting room.

Soon, only Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and finally the head of the Shimura family were left in the conference room.

However, Utane Koharu glanced at the head of the Shimura family and thought that he should not know what was going to happen next, so he immediately sent him away. Then he took off his disguise mask and said with great dissatisfaction: "Huruzen, these guys are too presumptuous. They don't take you seriously at all."

"I think we should kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and give these guys a good shock."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "No need! It's not a good idea to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys at this time. It might force them all to the side of Setsuna."

"Although tonight's meeting did not achieve our goal of diverting the trouble to another country, it was not without results."

Mitomon Yan was at a loss: "Harvest, what harvest?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed, "Their attitude, they are all afraid of the Raikage Ai and don't want to be Hokage."

Mitomon En: "What kind of harvest is this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered, "Didn't they want me to step down before? I will satisfy their demands now. I am already the former Hokage. What does the invasion of the Raikage have to do with a retired old man like me?"

Utatane Koharu understood something and asked tentatively, "You want to threaten them?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not answer.

Utatane Koharu had an idea in mind: "Are you trying to use the defeat of the Raikage as a bargaining chip to make them admit that Asuma will take your place?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen neither admitted nor denied it.

Mitomon En frowned and said, "I'm afraid this won't be easy. The strongest of these ninja clan leaders should be Aburame Shiwei and Hyuga Hiashi. Their strength is just average, and they are definitely not enough to deal with the Raikage, but what if they push the Uchiha family?"

"You know, the Uchiha family has 15 pairs of Mangekyō."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "If you let these profit-seeking ninjas and the Uchiha join forces to deal with us, they will definitely not hesitate at all."

"But you asked them to choose Uchiha as Hokage, and they opposed it more strongly than we did."

"After all, who knows if the Uchiha who becomes the Hokage will destroy Konoha for the sake of world peace?" (End of this chapter)
