Pirate: I have General Pai Daxing

On the first day that Xu Wei left Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen was furious.

Countless plans to deal with Xu Wei flashed through his mind, such as using the Aburame clan to set up a trap, using Tsunade to plot, and mobilizing all the power of Konoha to hunt him down...

Finally, he calmed down and recognized the reality.

"Tsunade, you must have understood that I, the Hokage, must abdicate, and in the selection of the new generation of Hokage, you have a unique advantage. As long as you want it, the position of Hokage is yours."

"I just came back to the village to have a look, I haven't thought about it yet."

"Time is running out." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "Go back and think carefully tonight, Konoha needs you!"

After saying this, Tsunade turned and left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pulled out a piece of white paper from the drawer with several names written on it.

The one at the top is: Tsunade Senju.

Looking at the entire Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to admit that only Tsunade's succession would be most beneficial to his Sarutobi clan.

As for whether Tsunade would agree, he was not worried, he was very confident.

The next day, the Jonin meeting was held.

Attending the meeting were the real top forces in Konoha, with Hiruzen Sarutobi presiding over the work.

Without waiting for anyone to ask questions, he took the initiative to raise the topic of the meeting, discussing how to deal with Aburame Xu Wei, and what everyone was most looking forward to: the Hokage's resignation. Sarutobi Hiruzen proposed to abdicate on the grounds of his old age and inability to bear the responsibility for the civil war.

The elite Jonin tried to persuade him to stay for a long time, and finally agreed to this decision at the insistence of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The first is how to deal with Xu Wei, who is defined as an S-class traitorous ninja. After the new Hokage takes over, he will decide whether to exclude the pursuit team.

"If you want to run for the Fifth Hokage, please sign up yourself. If you have a favorite candidate, you can also recommend it."

As soon as he finished speaking, several hands were raised.

"I recommend Tsunade-sama!"

"I recommend Jiraiya-sama!"

"I recommend Uchiha Fugaku-sama!"...

Every time they said a name, Sarutobi Hiruzen wrote down one on the white paper.

Jiraiya has returned to Konoha, and when he heard someone recommending him to run for Hokage, he quickly waved his hand and refused.

Seeing his firm attitude, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to cross out his name, and then moved his eyes to Tsunade.

Tsunade hasn't said a word since the meeting.

Tsunade's eyes were blank and she was distracted. "Tsunade, are you willing to run for Hokage?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

A person suddenly appeared in Tsunade's mind. He was a small and lively child who shouted "I want to be Hokage!" every day...

It’s been so long in a blink of an eye...

"Noseki, what's the point of being Hokage? Why did you leave first..."

After a long silence, Tsunade clenched her fist on the ground with a determined expression, "I want to be Hokage!!!"

There was a brief silence in the conference room, and then whispers broke out.

Uchiha Fugaku sat calmly, with no expression on his face, but the tribesmen behind him were different. They all frowned, feeling troubled.

Even the proud Uchiha have to admit that Tsunade is indeed suitable to be Hokage.

She is violent but compassionate at the same time. She has high qualifications, prestige, strength, deep background, and upright roots.

The most important thing is that she has no discrimination against the Uchiha clan. Even if she is born into the Senju family, she does not discriminate against Uchiha like Senju Tobirama.

"If she becomes Hokage, maybe she can give Uchiha more respect."

This thought came to several Uchiha's minds.

This time running for Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not draw up a list of candidates himself, but asked everyone to recommend him. Perhaps it was also because he was about to retire and was worried that his own drawing would cause dissatisfaction.

After verification, the list of Hokage candidates was finally released.

Senju Tsunade

Uchiha Fuyake

sun sun foot

Ape Flying Asma

Yes, Sarutobi Asuma's name is also among them, no one will say that he is not qualified.

Regardless of strength, background or qualifications, Sarutobi Asuma is excellent except for having no impressive record, so being a candidate is not a problem.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his second son and shook his head slightly.

"Asuma is my son. I know him. With his current ability, he is not enough to bear the important responsibility of Hokage."

After saying that, he personally crossed out Sarutobi Asuma's name.

From this, only Senju, Uchiha, and Hinata are left to run.

After deciding on the list of candidates, the jounin meeting will be held again next week. At that time, the final candidate for Hokage will be determined.

In the middle week, Sarutobi Hiruzen not only had to communicate with the daimyo, but also with the three candidates. He was very busy.

……

night.

The Sarutobi family is located in the bustling area of ​​the village.

Asuma waited in the living room early until Sarutobi Hiruzen walked in.

"Father." Asuma held a cigarette in his mouth and blew out a puff of smoke while greeting Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Don't blame me for not letting you run for Hokage."

"Not only do I not blame you, but I also want to thank you."

A smile appeared on Asuma Sarutobi's face, "Although I am very proud to have a Hokage father, my childhood dream was not to be Hokage, I don't like it.

Father, do you still remember that you asked me when I took over the mission of "Twelve Guardian Ninja".

If I accept this mission, it means that I will be out of Konoha's sight for a long time, the villagers will forget about me, and I won't have any chance to make meritorious deeds. "

Glancing at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, Asuma continued:

"From that moment on, I made my thoughts clear. Naruto is not my goal."

"Tsunade is a good fit and I support her."

After saying that, Asma took a long drag on the cigarette and showed an expression of ecstasy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was angry and laughing at the same time. His second son had completely inherited his hobby at this point.

However, he likes to use a pipe, while Asma likes to roll cigarettes.

"Very good, I'm relieved if you can figure this out."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not put on the airs of the Hokage, and knelt down on the mat in a slightly obscene manner:

"There is a huge turmoil hidden in this Hokage change. If you are not careful, Konoha will fall into civil strife."

"Not to mention whether other ninjas and villagers support you, not more than one-third of the ninja families in the village support you, especially Uchiha, Aburame, and Hinata."

"At this critical moment, Konoha cannot be in chaos!"

"When the time comes to vote, vote for Tsunade."

Hiruzen Sarutobi found that Asuma didn't seem to fully understand, and wanted to explain, but suddenly lost his mood.

He just warned: "Only Tsunade can calm the turmoil in Konoha, and her relationship with Aburame Xu Wei may also be an opportunity for change in the future."

……

When the news of the Jonin meeting came out, Konoha was in a state of shock.

Ordinary villagers, genin and ordinary chunin heard for the first time the news that Hiruzen Sarutobi was going to resign.

There had been no movement before, and then suddenly it happened.

Ordinary people are like a big watermelon popping out of the bowl while eating. They don't know whether to be happy or worried for a moment.

They immediately thought of the battle that broke out a few days ago.

The scope of the fighting was on the outskirts of the residential area, close to the mountains. Even though the fighting was fierce, it did not cause any damage to the residential area.

The only thing they couldn't forget was Pai Daxing's towering body and Xu Wei's fire escape ninjutsu that changed the sky.

"Three candidates, who should we support?"

The villagers were confused as they considered the list of candidates.

The vast majority of people rejected Uchiha Fugaku at the first opportunity.

In the past two years, the reputation of the Uchiha family in Konoha has not been good. Ordinary villagers do not know what political thinking is. They can only make choices based on their own preferences.

Then, he decisively chose Tsunade.

It is impossible for Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hizashi not to know about this situation.

But Uchiha Fugaku didn't say anything. Instead, he restrained all clan members not to talk nonsense and to obey his arrangements.

From the time of Senju Tobirama, Uchiha has been divided into two types of people, one is the Uchiha who is self-centered, and the other is the Uchiha who is proud but not only focused on force. The current clan leader Uchiha Fugaku belongs to the latter type. .

He obviously has amazing strength and developed the Mangekyō Sharingan, but no one has ever known this.

After the coordination and integration of Uchiha Fugaku, the thoughts of the clansmen were finally unified.

If you run for Hokage, success is the best;

If it doesn't succeed, Hinata Hinashi cannot be allowed to become Hokage.

If Tsunade wins in the end, they will admit it.

In the entire Konoha, perhaps only Tsunade can be recognized by that part of "the only Uchiha".

The dead Danzo Shimura couldn't do it, the living Koharu couldn't do it, Ino Shikacho couldn't do it, and Hinata couldn't do it. Even Jiraiya, who was a Sannin, and the Uchihas didn't recognize him as Hokage.

at home.

Uchiha Fugaku and his wife Uchiha Mikoto were enjoying the warm sunshine in the yard.

Looking at his wife's gentle face, the corners of Fugaku's mouth raised slightly. This was a sweet moment for a middle-aged couple.

"Why didn't you go to the police department today?"

Uchiha Mikoto finished pouring water on Ichiha and sat next to Uchiha Fugaku.

"I'm not busy today. I'll take time off to stay with you at home."

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Mikoto pursed her lips and smiled, as gentle and bright as the flowers she watered.

The two were having a sweet moment when the sound of clogs came from outside.

There was no need to look back, just by the strength of the clogs, Uchiha Fugaku knew who was coming.

The sound of clogs is rapid, brisk, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, indicating that its owner is either happy or nervous, and cannot perfectly control his emotions.

Then, he is——Uchiha Sasuke.

"Father, they said you are running for Hokage?"

Sure enough, a young man wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt with the Uchiha clan emblem printed on it hurried in.

He has black hair, bangs in front, and slightly brushed hair at the back. His face is filled with the unique liveliness of a young man.

"Sasuke, don't be rude, it's not cool to be in a hurry." Uchiha Fugaku scolded him in a deep voice.

"Don't be cruel."

Uchiha Mikoto comforted softly, hugged Sasuke, looked up and down, her eyes showed strong maternal love:

"Sasuke, don't you have to go to the training ground to train after school? Why are you back so early?"

"I've heard it all, mother, father, is he going to be Hokage?!"

"No, your father just became a Hokage candidate."

Even though Uchiha Mikoto said so and Uchiha Fugaku didn't express his position, Sasuke still couldn't hide his excitement.

He was so excited that he couldn't sleep at the thought that his father might become Hokage.

"By the way, my brother is back too. Why didn't he come in?" Sasuke looked outside the yard in confusion. Not long after, a young man with tear troughs under his eyes and a very gentle temperament walked in.

"Brother, do you think my father is going to be Hokage?"

"I don't know... Sasuke, do you want your father to be Hokage?"

"I think! How majestic the Hokage is!!!"

Sasuke was very excited. Although he seemed aloof in front of outsiders, he made no secret of his lively personality in front of his family.

Moreover, listening to that yellow-haired kid shouting about becoming Hokage and becoming Hokage every day... Sasuke himself was a little bit infected.

Uchiha Itachi smiled bitterly.

Haha, majestic?

Although Hokage is majestic, can the Uchiha clan really become Hokage?

but……

Sasuke is so cute, every word he says is so cute.

Want to rub...

As soon as the thought came up, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help it anymore, stretched out his evil hand, pinched Sasuke's cheek and massaged it.

Sasuke pretended to resist, but actually narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

Seeing this scene, the Fugaku couple couldn't help but hug each other warmly.

At this moment, the sun shines on the family of four, without any shadow, only calm and warmth.

Uchiha Fugaku emptied his mind, rarely thinking about family, police department, radicals, rebellion...

He just wanted to quietly experience the warmth of this moment.

Family and family are equally important to him, but sometimes he has to choose between the two.

He was very confused and depressed.

Fortunately, everything is almost over.

"Come to the study with me." Uchiha Fugaku left the yard and walked into the dark room. The last words he said were to his eldest son Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi nodded, comforted Sasuke with a few words of affection, and followed Fugaku into the study.

In the room, Fugaku's body was stuck behind the bookshelf.

There were no electric lights, the windows and curtains were closed, and the atmosphere suddenly became condensed.

"Why does Danzo Shimura have the Sharingan?"

"do not know."

"What he used that day was Izanagi, and he also exposed the blindfolded eye. If I'm not mistaken, that is the power of the kaleidoscope."

"...Yes, it is indeed a kaleidoscope, I also sensed it."

One question and one answer, analyzing the circumstances of Shimura Danzo's death.

Xu Wei killed Shimura Danzo many times, and his use of Izanagi could not be hidden from Uchiha Fugaku.

What was then revealed was the Sharingan on Danzo Shimura's arm. The number was so large that Fugaku was furious.

"So, that eye is Shisui's."

"Yes."

Uchiha Itachi answered softly, "When Shisui committed suicide, one eye was taken away by Danzo and the other eye was given to me."

"You've been hiding this from me?!!!" Uchiha Fugaku growled in a deep voice.

"You told me before that Shisui's eyes were ruined!"

"Itachi!"

"Don't forget, your last name is Uchiha!!!"
