Naruto's strongest wooden escape

"So, the final candidate for the Fourth Hokage is..." Mito Gate closed his eyes and announced calmly, "Namikaze Minato."

"Me?" After hearing that he was elected as the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato stood up in confusion.

Before the meeting, the Third Hokage did not disclose the specific content of the meeting.Therefore, Namikaze Minato was not even mentally prepared for his being elected as the Fourth Hokage.

"Minato, congratulations to you, you will definitely be a qualified Hokage in the future." The Third Hokage stood up from his seat, slowly walked to Namikaze Minato, and personally congratulated Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato has good character and strength, and is loved by all Konoha villagers.For such a junior, the Third Hokage definitely loved Namikaze Minato very much in his heart.

As for the Uchiha Festival, although the Third Hokage secretly felt that he was a little ashamed of him, for the sake of the overall situation of Konoha, the Third Hokage still convinced himself and abandoned his feelings of guilt and guilt for the Uchiha Festival.

"Hokage-sama, I think Matsuri may be more suitable to be Hokage than me..." Minato Namikaze walked to the Third Hokage and said thoughtfully.

Becoming Hokage has always been Namikaze Minato's dream.

However, Minato Namikaze, who has always experienced the experience, can't help but have some grudges about the voting results that have just been released.

It's very simple.

Any fool can see that this meeting is just a formality.

Namikaze Minato was not stupid.Therefore, Namikaze Minato seemed to understand something when he saw two senior Konoha leaders taking the lead in recommending him.

There is no doubt that Minato Namikaze has long been designated as the successor of the next generation of Hokage by Konoha's top brass, and Uchiha Matsuri may have quietly withdrawn from the competition for the position of Hokage a long time ago.

However, Namikaze Minato was not happy at all about such a result.

It is true that Naruto is his dream.But Uchiha Matsuri is also his best friend.

On one side is my dream, on the other side is my best friend.In this situation of "you can't have your cake and eat it too," Namikaze Minato hesitated.

Since the graduation exam more than ten years ago, Minato Namikaze has been working hard to improve his strength, hoping to compete with Uchiha Matsuri for the position of Hokage.

However, in the end, he squeezed Uchiha Matsuri away through unfair means (even if this was not Namikaze Minato's original intention, Namikaze Minato would still feel guilty) and then became Hokage.

"Minato, what you should do now is accept everyone's appointment instead of questioning the result." After sleeping, Koharu frowned and said to Namikaze Minato with a slight displeasure.

"With all due respect, two elders, Matsuri is obviously stronger than me, and his record is better than mine. In comparison, I feel..." Namikaze Minato said with his head lowered.

"Minato, the Uchiha Festival is very good, I admit this, but the best person may not necessarily be able to be Hokage, and the person who can be Hokage may not be the strongest one." Mito Katoen said with a straight face. Said, "Now that everyone has elected you, it proves that you are more suitable to be Hokage than Uchiha Matsuri."

High strength is only one factor that should be possessed to become Hokage.In contrast, winning the hearts of the people is the key factor for a person to become Hokage.

Senju Hashirama got it

People's support, so he was able to defeat the equally powerful Madara Uchiha without any doubt and became the first Hokage of Konoha Village.

The same is true for Senju Tobirama and Sarutobi Hiruzen (the Third Hokage).

Nowadays, compared to the Uchiha Festival, Namikaze Minato seems to have a higher voice among the villagers.

It is precisely because of this that the Third Hokage can safely recommend Namikaze Minato as the Fourth Hokage without considering whether there will be any objections in the village.

"But……"

"Minato!" The Third Hokage patted Namikaze Minato on the shoulder and said firmly, "Listen carefully, this is what everyone wants!"

The words of the Third Hokage have made it very clear.

Even if you don't want to be Hokage, you have to accept this appointment today.

Because this is what everyone means.

And you, as the object of everyone's common recommendation, have no right to reject everyone's recommendation and the appointment of Konoha's top management.

Seeing that the Third Hokage had spoken to such an extent, Namikaze Minato couldn't refuse anymore.

After thinking for a few seconds, Namikaze Minato raised his head, sighed, and accepted the appointment from the top management of Konoha:

"Okay, I accept the appointment of the Fourth Hokage."

Although in his heart, Namikaze Minato was very dissatisfied with this kind of secret operation.

However, the hospitality was hard to reject, and he had now been promoted to the position of Hokage by the high-level officials of Konoha.Is it possible that he can still say "no" to all the Konoha villagers and then oppose the appointment of Konoha's top officials?

In fact, Namikaze Minato himself has no say in whether he can become the Fourth Hokage or not.The real decision-making power is firmly in the hands of the Third Hokage and the top management of Konoha.

What is certain is that even if Namikaze Minato says "no" to the appointment of Konoha senior officials on this occasion, Konoha senior officials will not revoke the appointment of Namikaze Minato.

Seeing that Namikaze Minato agreed to the appointment, the Third Hokage smiled with satisfaction.

"Minato, you have to know that today's meeting is just a collective vote of the villagers of Konoha Village. The next step is to report the election results to the Fire Country Daimyo, and ask the Daimyo to issue formal instructions..." The Third Hokage turned around. , talking while walking.

According to the unwritten rules of Konoha for decades, a ninja who wants to become Hokage must be approved by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire before he can legitimately assume the position of Hokage.

Now that Minato Namikaze has passed this test in the village, it depends on whether the Daimyo of the Land of Fire will approve Minato Namikaze to serve as the Fourth Hokage.

"Minato, on behalf of the Hyuga clan, I congratulate you on being elected as the Fourth Hokage." After the Third Hokage left, Hinata and a dozen jounin surrounded Namikaze Minato, "I just didn't expect that the fourth generation of Konoha Hokage will be so young and so handsome..."

Seeing this scene, the dozen or so Jonin around were secretly surprised - for the sake of the future of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizashi, who was always serious in everyone's eyes, actually put down his airs and personally "curated" to the newly ascended Hokage.

However, none of the dozen jounin felt disgusted by Hinata Hizashi's behavior.

Because they, like Hinata and Hinata, came with the same purpose to congratulate the newly appointed Hokage.
