Leaf Ninja Life

Chapter 32 Hokage and the Village
When the second generation of Hokage and his disciples were surrounded, Senshou Toikama had already made a decision, and all these descendants must be allowed to leave safely.

He himself is not young anymore, and more importantly, to ensure the spread of the Will of Fire, this Hokage inheritance mechanism must be established.

Therefore, none of the Hokage heirs could die, so he had to sacrifice himself.

After examining various factors such as strength, wisdom, and personality charm, he finally chose Sarutobi Hiruzen as the third generation of Hokage, and successfully completed the transformation of the position of Hokage from a big family to a master-student line.

In Xiuyi's previous life, there were also many comments saying that Konoha's position as Hokage was monopolized by the line of master and apprentice, so it was not popular at all.

At this time, he can probably understand the reason, as Uchiha Itachi said later: "It is not to become Hokage to be recognized by everyone, but to be recognized by others to become Hokage."

Then a similar meaning can explain Konoha's situation, "Not all Hokages come from the master-student line, but all those who have the potential of Hokage will be drawn by the master-student line."

Thinking of this, Xiuyi reviewed the history of the Hokage lineage.

The students selected by the Second Hokage are eligible, and these six should be regarded as the best graduates of the ninja school at that time.

Then what?The three generations of disciples are Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade.Jiraiya's disciples are Minato and Naruto, Tsunade's disciples are Shizune and Haruno Sakura, Namikaze Minato's disciples are Kakashi, Obito and Rin, and then there will be Kakashi's disciples...

"Hiss, thinking about it is terrifying!"

Xiuyi found out that there was something really interesting about the selection of the Hokage lineage. Basically, all those with Hokage aptitude were included in the master-apprentice lineage.

They either have great potential themselves, or they are unparalleled in wisdom. They can be consultants even if they can't be Hokage. The third generation arranges candidates to completely learn the style of his teacher's second generation, and there is really no big mistake. (except Uchiha)
So this is the reason why all major families agree with Hokage. If the selection of Hokage cannot guarantee fairness, the order of Kage will lose weight, and the survival foundation of Ninja Village will be severely damaged.

They also know in their hearts that as long as there are enough outstanding geniuses among their clansmen, the Hokage lineage will never let them go.

The only accidents in this selection mechanism are Hatake Sakumo and the Uchiha clan behind him. (There is Madara before and Nine-Tails Rebellion behind, Uchiha's situation is particularly complicated.)
Everyone did not expect that Hatake Sakumo, with just a knife, without the support of Konoha Village's resources, killed the other ninja villages to the point of terror. His personal prestige surpassed Sannin's, and his strength was enough to be superior.

But if he really takes the position, then the Hokage promotion mechanism that the second generation of Hokage has agreed with the major families will be severely impacted.

This shows that Naruto can take on as long as he has enough military exploits, and he doesn't need to go through the ninja school and the line of master and apprentice.

Then it is very likely that Konoha's big family will never send the best successors in the family to the ninja school. The core of the entire ninja village will change from "protecting the safe growth of the younger generation" to "competition of force between the families". ",
Such a consequence would be a devastating blow to the unity of the ninjas, completely contrary to the wishes of the first generation and others.

When the next ninja world war comes, which family will send more troops and which family will send fewer troops?Do you want to listen to Naruto?It is estimated that everyone will directly quarrel into a pot of porridge.

The current situation is that when Sarutobi Hiruzen has served as Hokage for many years, the Hokage lineage has never been obtained by civilians.

If this situation continues, a large number of civilian ninjas that Konoha has cultivated, as well as Senju's descendants who secretly observe, will also begin to doubt Hokage's promotion mechanism. Could it be that civilians can't be Hokage for a lifetime?
So from the current point of view, the fourth generation of Hokage has basically been determined to be a civilian, and there are only two candidates for Hokage, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, and Tsunade has to be in the back row for the time being. (Three wars have not been fought, and Minato has no prestige yet)
In the case that Jiraiya has already accepted Namikaze Minato as an excellent disciple, Orochimaru has no heirs of his own. This problem that is not a shortcoming must be made up as soon as possible.

So Hokage has seriously investigated the situation of the ninja school in the past two years. Kakashi is the son of White Fang, and his personality is not suitable.
And Xiuyi's performance in all aspects can be said to be flawless, so it is naturally very smooth to become this candidate.

Through the words of the three generations, Xiuyi quickly thought of his purpose - through the graduation ceremony, the news was spread through the mouths of the family's children that Orochimaru had found a suitable heir and would be one of the candidates for the next generation of Hokage.

"Fortunately, I didn't choose the path of Gou. That's completely picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon. I guess I will miss the position of Hokage for the rest of my life."

Thinking of this, Xiuyi secretly rejoiced that he got the perfect result by mistake.

"So is this the reason why Hokage's lineage hit Bai Fang's reputation? Even if Danzo and the advisors did it, no one else would object, including the major families." Xiuyi almost understood now.

Perhaps what Sandai Hokage did not expect was that Bai Fang would choose to commit suicide.

His original purpose should be to make Bai Fang lose his Hokage qualifications. After all, there is no village that would not feel sorry for the loss of a ninja of this level.

However, the reason for Bai Fang's suicide may be that there was an intelligence gap with Konoha's high-level officials. He was just a ninja who purely loved the village, and it was difficult to distinguish the complexity of politics.

Xiuichi thought that if he were Bai Fang, in this case, would he really be able to fully distinguish what Konoha meant?
A group of his loyal subordinates are very likely to do things to intimidate Konoha's senior management because of the damage to their own interests.

Once it happens, it will detonate Konoha's internal conflicts, which is tantamount to betraying the village.

At the same time, the most important thing, and the reason why he didn't dare to gamble, was that such a game would inevitably affect Kakashi.

The secret suppression must not be put on the bright side. With insufficient information, even if Bai Fang guessed Konoha's true thoughts, he would not dare to joke about his son's future and safety.

After comprehensive consideration, White Fang chose to commit suicide in order to keep a group of followers of his own interests from making waves and at the same time protect Kakashi's future.

After Bai Fang committed suicide, Sandai Hokage really felt guilty.

Originally, Kakashi's personality flaws were obvious, but in order to compensate Kakashi, when he graduated early and became a Chunin, he still made an exception and asked Minato to accept him as a disciple, giving Kakashi the qualification to be the heir of Hokage.

Later, he even used the power of the village to resist the pressure of the Uchiha clan and let Kakashi inherit Sharingan,
Discovering the darkness in his heart, he also took the initiative to find an opportunity to open Kakashi's heart knot, making him a qualified Hokage candidate.

"Huh, so this should be the foundation of Muye Village's survival, and it is also a secret that cannot be shared among the major families.

Other ninja villages in the entire ninja world can learn Konoha's ninja school, but they have not learned the essence of this mechanism at all. What is the difference between those ninja schools and arsenals.

The geniuses who have always been unwilling to Konoha come out in large numbers, and I really don't want how many geniuses I have to be buried by them. "

Having figured out so many things, Shuichi really admired the wisdom of senior Konoha elites.

"I'm afraid that in the whole village, only the Uchiha family didn't understand the truth. The third generation and others have been trying to solve the Uchiha's problem. After discovering that Obito has a cheerful personality and sufficient potential, he has not been influenced by the family. When it was too deep, he even gave him the qualifications of the Hokage candidate."

"This is also the third generation's hint to Uchiha, he will not be ignorant of the hidden meaning of Minato's disciples, and he will not force Asma, a son with insufficient potential, to Minato for his own sake.

I just want to tell Uchiha that the village has never given up and separated the Uchiha clan, but this wave of operations is undoubtedly winking to the blind. "

"Could it be that Itachi felt this later, so he said he was desperate for this stupid family?" Xiuyi felt that this analysis seemed to make sense.

"Sasuke is really a fool. After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, the village didn't even think about getting involved with him. The third generation and Kakashi both regarded him as one of the heirs of Hokage to train him. In the end, he made a show all over the world and came back to want to be Hokage. .”

Shuichi felt that the Uchiha was really a magical family. Konoha never owed Uchiha a Hokage, and it was Uchiha who refused to join the group again and again.
