I really don't want to be a ninja

"It's impossible. Second Grandpa will never give up on the village. This is the hard work of his life. It's absolutely impossible!"

Tsunade widened her beautiful eyes and stared at Bai Heshou with great dissatisfaction.

"Well, this is just a guess on my part, don't take it too seriously."

Bai Hechou chuckled lightly and then said:

"Tsunade-hime, you should understand that regardless of whether Lord Hokage continues to be Hokage or not, he is still the most reliable and great ninja in the village.

The respect and love that everyone in the village has for him will never change.

In my opinion, it will be better for the Nidaime if he no longer serves as Hokage. At least many complicated and trivial matters in the village will no longer trouble him. "

Although Shirakawa didn't understand why the Hokage wanted to abdicate, after all, with his fighting power and achievements, no one in Konoha could threaten him.

The only existence that can pose a threat to Naruto has already faked his death and escaped, hiding in a corner of the ninja world, being fooled, and painstakingly giving birth to the strongest eyes in the ninja world.

But thinking about it from another angle, Bai Hechou felt that it was not a big deal if the Hokage chose to abdicate.

After all, Naruto is one of the important founders of Konoha Hidden Village, and possesses the pinnacle of combat power in the ninja world. Could it be that if Naruto gives up his position as Hokage, will anyone dare to neglect him?

This is impossible.

Because the ninjas of various families in Konoha first respect the Nidaime's own strength and prestige, and secondly obey his power as the Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village.

This is a privilege that only belongs to the founder of Konoha, who has built a monument of merit with the lives and blood of countless enemies.

Don’t dare to disobey orders!

After him, every Hokage behind him cannot have such a privilege.

It can even be said that as long as the second generation survives, he will be the Supreme Emperor of Konoha, and all subsequent Hokages will be crown princes.

Therefore, from Shirakawa Chou's point of view, changing Konoha to a Hokage is just like changing a CEO to a large group company.

Because the CEO who can decide everything behind the scenes is still the same person.

It's just something that Bai Hechou can understand, but others may not be able to understand it.

"But that's different. Second Grandpa, Second Grandpa..."

Tsunade wanted to refute angrily, but she couldn't come up with a reason.

She has seen the Second-generation Hokage since she was a child. In order to protect Konoha, she can't remember how many times she went into battle in danger. In order to develop Konoha, she can't remember how many nights she couldn't sleep.

Let alone 996, 007 is basically the norm.

After all, Naruto is quite old.

Especially in this Ninja World War, Naruto passed through the door three times without entering, and went to fight in various countries in the Ninja World.

Withstanding wind, frost, rain, snow, and bloody winds, the suffering and hardships involved are truly unimaginable to outsiders.

Now that the Ninja World War is coming to an end, world peace has finally been restored.

So Tsunade also felt that it was time for her second grandfather to relieve his burden and let the old man enjoy his old age in peace.

But Tsunade also felt that his second grandfather should not give up the position of Hokage after putting in so much effort for Konoha.

This made Tsunade feel as if her second grandfather's glory had been split up and taken away.

Bai Hechou smiled faintly, glanced at the three people present, and said meaningfully:

"Tsunade-hime, the name 'Hokage' is not only an honor, but also a responsibility!"

"But...but..."

Although Tsunade felt that what Bai Hechou said was reasonable, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she snorted and said:

"I still can't figure it out, forget it, I'll go home and ask grandma..."

With that said, Tsunade walked out of the shop with her hands crossed and full of thoughts.

Jiraiya quickly chased to the door, raised a bunch of meatballs in his hand, and said:

"Hey, Tsunade, I haven't finished eating the meatballs yet. They are so fragrant and sweet..."

It's just that Tsunade didn't seem to hear anything and walked away alone.

Seeing Tsunade's leaving figure, Shirakawa laughed sadly and thought to himself:

"No matter how precocious Tsunade is, she is still a little girl after all..."

Jiraiya watched Tsunade go away helplessly, then came back and said to Orochimaru:

"Orochimaru, why are you so dull today? What do you think of the second generation abdicating and the upcoming third generation?"

After listening to Shirakawa's rational analysis, Jiraiya now firmly believed in the rumors that the Hokage was about to abdicate.

After all, ever since I met Bai Hechou, I have never seen him make a mistake.

Besides, if Bai Hechou guesses wrong this time... won't there be enough to laugh at Bai Hechou in the future?

Jiraiya secretly glanced at Shirakawa and thought proudly:

"Maybe you, Bai Hechou, are right, but I will never make a mistake, hehe..."

"What do you think? Just sit and watch."

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya with dark eyes and said coldly:

"At what point do we two have the qualifications to talk about electing Hokage?"

"Uh!"

Jiraiya was immediately speechless.

Orochimaru was right, both of them were still just genin.

Even if the second generation designates the next successor, they are not qualified to cast a vote when the Hokage vote of confidence is held.

Because that is the vote that only Jonin is qualified to cast.

"Don't worry so much, just tell me what you think."

Jiraiya persisted in pestering Orochimaru, his face full of reverie as he said:

"I guess it's Sarutobi-sensei. If Sarutobi-sensei becomes the Hokage, then I will be proud. From now on when I walk in the ninja world, I will loudly tell others that I am the disciple of the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha. Let's see who dares to embarrass me. Hehe !”

"If that's the case, then Sarutobi-sensei would be too miserable."

Orochimaru closed his eyes and said coldly:

"Because your existence will be a stain that he will never be able to wash away throughout his life."

Jiraiya immediately blushed and said angrily:

"Orochimaru, what do you mean? Am I so out of your sight?"

Bai Hechou was eating meatballs leisurely on the side.

Seeing Jiraiya jumping up and down with anger at Orochimaru's few words, he still persisted in entangled with Orochimaru.

"Maybe this is the so-called bad fate - well, it's a bond..."

Bai Hechou sighed in his heart: "What a gay love that makes people envious!"

When Bai Hechou and others were talking about Hokage's abdication at the snack bar.

Coincidentally, two people were also discussing this issue on Yanyan in Konoha.

"You must have heard about it, Hiruzen!"

The speaker had a handsome face, a cross scar on his chin, and a stern expression. He was the disciple that the Hokage had chosen.One of the members of the Hokage Guard: Shimura Danzo.

Standing next to Danzo Shimura, as expected, was his lifelong friend and rival: the relatively short Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed and he smiled:

"I have been busy completing tasks recently, and I have received a lot of information. I just don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't try to get away with it. What you should know is the news that Hokage-sama is about to step down."

"Oh, wasn't that a rumor posted by other Ninja Village spies in an attempt to create chaos?"

"No, that's not a rumor. Lord Hokage has really made a move and decided to select the third Hokage."

"Even if it is true, it is something that Hokage-sama needs to consider. There is no need for us to worry about him."

"Absolutely not, don't try to pretend to be deaf and dumb!"

Shimura Danzo stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said in a serious tone:

"You should know very well in your heart that the third Hokage will only be chosen between the two of us."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked far away, was silent for a while, and then said:

"There are many outstanding ninjas in Konoha, and the teacher has six disciples. It may not be what you think, Danzo!"

This is so disappointing, how long are you going to keep pretending, Hiruzen! "

Shimura Danzo moved his eyes away, no longer staring at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said calmly:

"Although there are many outstanding ninjas in Konoha, only a few of us have truly gained the teacher's trust.

Among us, Xiaochun, Menyan and Qiufeng each have their own shortcomings that are difficult to make up for in terms of their strength and talents.

As for the guy in the mirror, he was born in the Uchiha family, which determined the possibility of him not becoming Hokage.

So, Hiruzen, what do you think? "

Shimura Danzo has followed the Second Generation Hokage for many years and has received Hokage's words and deeds for many years, so he thinks he understands Hokage's thoughts very well.

So he was very sure that the third Hokage would only be chosen between himself and Hiruzen.

Moreover, Danzo Shimura believes that he has great advantages.

Because for many years, I have been learning the second generation's behavior and how to deal with things.

Therefore, I should be a good candidate to inherit the Will of Fire.

Shimura Danzo mentally praised himself for his cleverness.

For Shimura Danzo's sake, Sarutobi Hiruzen could no longer avoid it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head, looked at his childhood friend for many years, and asked:

"Even if what you said makes sense, so what do you want to express?"

Danzo Shimura has been nurtured by the Hokage for many years, and so has Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Therefore, the information that Shimura Danzo can confirm, Sarutobi Hiruzen is of course indispensable.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer pretended to be deaf and mute to avoid the problem, Shimura Danzo also relaxed and said:

"What I mean is that no matter you or me, whoever is chosen as the third generation, we must not have any grudges. We must work together to inherit the will of fire and better protect Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said decisively:

"Of course there is no problem. Protecting Konoha is my greatest wish."

Shimura Danzo showed a pleased smile and said happily:

"That's good. I'll ask you to take good care of me from now on, Hiruzen!"

"Hmph, Danzo, are you so confident that you can become the third generation?"

Seeing Danzo Shimura's confident expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel a little angry even though the two had been close friends for many years.

"Of course, Hiruzen, although your character of being a good old guy is very lovable, you don't understand Naruto."

Shimura Danzo was filled with joy and said very confidently:

"Hokage is not someone who only knows how to be a good old man with a soft heart. No one understands Naruto better than me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened and he couldn't help but sneered:

"I don't understand Naruto... may I ask when you became blind."

"We have all been close friends for many years, why bother with personal attacks, Hiruzen, when I become the third generation, I will keep the position of ANBU Minister for you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen became even more angry and snorted coldly, "Don't be too self-righteous. The Hokage-sama's city is not something you and I can measure. Let's wait until the Hokage-sama makes a decision."

Danzo Shimura was still thinking about saying something, but Hiruzen Sarutobi had already used the teleportation technique and left.

"Hey, Hiruzen, why can't you understand...Then let's just wait and see."

He sighed and disappeared.
