I really don't want to be Hokage

"Shikashiro, you go see the Third Hokage first. After I take my leave, I will wait for you outside the Hokage Building." Uchiha Mikoto immediately made the choice for Nara Shikashiro.

Although she doesn't want to be separated from Nara Shiro for a minute now, she can't delay Nara Shiro's work because of the date.

After all, if this kind of thing happens once, it will definitely happen again. She doesn't want to become a girl who doesn't care about the importance.

"okay."

Nara Shikagi had no choice but to say goodbye to Uchiha Mikoto and walked towards the Hokage Building with this ANBU member.

Arrive at the Hokage building, inside the Hokage's office.

Nara Shikaki saluted Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "The Third Hokage."

"Well, Shikaki, here we come." Facing Nara Shikoshi, Sarutobi Hiruzen habitually took a puff of a big cigarette and asked with a smile: "How do you feel about returning to the village today?"

"I didn't expect so many people to greet me at the entrance of the village. It's a bit of a surprise." Nara Shikaki replied with a smile.

So many villagers lined the streets to welcome him today, which was obviously beyond his expectation. He thought he would return to the village quietly as usual and continue his daily life in the village.

"Except for accidents"

Obviously, Nara Shikaki's answer did not satisfy Sarutobi Hiruzen's needs.

Nara Shikaro thought for a while: "Well, it's an honor to be recognized by everyone."

"Shikagi, this is the honor you deserve. This time Konoha was able to defeat Iwagakure, Kumogakure and Sunagakure in a row, you accounted for at least half of the credit." Facing Nara Shikagi's humble answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to He praised stingily.

As a ninja who has experienced two ninja wars, Sarutobi Hiruzen is very clear about this war. If it were not for Nara Shikagi's absolutely overwhelming strength to defeat the "main force" of the three major ninja villages, I am afraid that this war would have been at least a disaster. It will last a year or two.

"Sir, the Third Hokage, you are so ridiculous. Konoha is my home, and going to the front line to fight is what I should do. Moreover, by going to the front line this time, I also fulfilled an agreement."

As a man who has been educated by 5000 years of civilization, Nara Shikaro still upholds the virtue of humility.

He couldn't fully accept the compliments given to "leader" Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After saying that, Nara Shikaki continued to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen: "The Third Hokage, do you have any business with me?"

"It's about your performance on the front line this time." After Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long puff of cigarette, he said something that surprised Nara Shikaki: "Shikaki, now many civilians and ninjas in the village hope you I can become the next Hokage."

"I'm honored to have the support of so many people." Nara Shikaki could still only use this word to answer Sarutobi Hiruzen.

On the one hand, he had no intention of fucking Naruto, and on the other hand, he didn't know whether Sarutobi Hiruzen's purpose in saying this to him was to let him continue to work hard, or if it had other meanings.

According to the original plot, before the rise of Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi's favorite candidate for the Fourth Hokage was Orochimaru among the three ninjas.

"So, Shikaki, I have decided to recommend you to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire as the Fourth Hokage," Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly to Nara Shikaki.

"The Third Hokage, please be careful."
