"What! Me? Become the fifth generation? Old man! Are you kidding me!" Jiraiya shouted in disbelief after hearing this.

"Oh? You don't want to? I remember you always wanted to be Hokage." The Third Hokage said with some surprise.

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Besides, my apprentice is the fourth generation, and now I, the master, am the fifth generation. It feels awkward no matter how I think about it. No, no, I don't agree." Jiraiya raised his head repeatedly, muttering to himself.

"Then tell me, who can be the Hokage now, who is qualified to be the Hokage?" asked the Third Hokage.

"How should I know? This should be something that your Konoha high-level officials should discuss." Jiraiya complained. Then, a light bulb went off in his mind and a figure appeared, who immediately spoke.

"However, I have a candidate in mind. What do you think of Dawn? Since you are going to revoke his wanted order anyway, that means his status will be restored to that of a jonin in Konoha. Besides, he is now stronger than I am, so he is the perfect candidate to be the Hokage."

"No! You should find someone else." The Third Hokage immediately rejected Jiraiya's proposal.

"Why? Old man, someone just saved your life, and this is how you repay him?" Jiraiya looked at the Third Hokage with contempt, thinking that the Third Hokage was too stingy.

"This has nothing to do with whether you save me or not. The main thing is that a rebel ninja whose wanted order has just been cancelled can come back and directly succeed the Hokage. This is outrageous no matter how you think about it. And I only said to cancel his wanted order, but I didn't say to restore his status as a Jonin. Even if he comes back, he has to start again as a Genin." The Third Hokage explained patiently.

"Old man, have we both misunderstood one thing? Dawn never took the initiative to say that he wanted to come back. Won't it be even more impossible for him to come back if you do this?" Jiraiya persuaded.

"Hmph, if you don't want to come back, then don't come back. Konoha didn't collapse in these years without him. I know you are not a rebellious person and don't want to take over the position of Hokage, but there is no one more suitable for this position than you, unless..." The Third Hokage said after hesitating for a moment.

"Unless what? Just tell me, old man, and I'll go through fire and water to help you do it." Jiraiya said, patting his chest.

"Unless you can find someone who is as powerful and famous as you to succeed you as Hokage, you should just take the position honestly." The Third Hokage said solemnly.

Jiraiya listened to the words of the Third Hokage, rolled his eyes, and a solution immediately appeared in his mind. What if I keep looking outside? Then you, old man, can't force me to take the position, right? Hehe.

But who is the Third Hokage? Jiraiya could be said to have grown up under his care. Seeing Jiraiya like this, he immediately thought that he must have been holding back his fart, and then continued: "Of course, the time is not unlimited. Let's limit it to one month. If you still can't find a suitable candidate after one month, you will come back to succeed the Hokage. That's it." After saying that, he left without giving Jiraiya a chance to bargain.

"In just one month, in such a huge ninja world, where can I find a ninja as good as me?" Jiraiya said with a sigh inwardly.

The reason why Jiraiya didn't want to be the Hokage, besides the fact that he felt the Hokage had to be confined to the village all year round, was largely because the Hokage had too much work to do every day. As a result, when would he be able to finish writing the second part of his Intimate Paradise?

Then he thought about the famous ninjas he was familiar with, and counted them carefully: First of all, Dawn was excluded, which had been unilaterally rejected by the Third Hokage. Hatake Sumo? He perfectly met the requirements of the Hokage in every aspect, but unfortunately he died too early; the head of the Hyuga family? No, since the demise of the Uchiha family, the Hyuga family has a reputation as the largest family in Konoha. Letting him become the Hokage at this time might be putting the Hyuga family on the fire; the heads of the Ino, Shika, and Chou families? No, they are okay as assistants or management departments, but they are not strong enough to become Hokage; let alone Orochimaru, who was almost killed by the Third Hokage this time. If Jiraiya dares to propose to Orochimaru, I am afraid that the one-month buffer time will be gone, and he will have to take the position of Hokage tomorrow.

Alas, who else?

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Jiraiya's mind and a figure appeared.

Tsunade is the right person. She is the granddaughter of the first Hokage, has a good family background, and is one of the Three Ninjas. Her fame is no less than Jiraiya's. Moreover, during World War II, Tsunade saved many wounded soldiers with her medical ninjutsu. Her suggestion of equipping each team with a medical ninja reduced the casualty rate of the team carrying out the mission at that time by more than half. Her contribution to Konoha far exceeds that of Jiraiya.

However, if Tsunade is to come back and become Hokage, there are two difficulties that need to be resolved.

First, the news that Tsunade suffered from hemophobia had spread throughout Konoha before, and it might have had some impact on her.

But now that Konoha troublemaker is dead, if the public relations are done well, it should be possible to clear his name.

Second, when this rumor came out, the Third Hokage turned a blind eye to it. Tsunade was not a good-tempered person, and she took her sister-in-law away in a fit of anger. Apart from anything else, she still had some resentment towards the Third Hokage in her heart.

However, the Third Hokage is her teacher after all, and after this incident, he probably won't live for two years. Tsunade probably doesn't bother to argue with him.

"It's decided, it's her!" Jiraiya made up his mind and prepared to tell the Third Hokage about this matter early tomorrow morning.

the next day,

Jiraiya got up early and went to the Hokage's office to talk to the Third Hokage about his ideas.

"Tsunade is indeed a very good candidate, but... are you sure that if Tsunade succeeds Hokage, she will not lose Konoha? I have a lot of information about her." The Third Hokage said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, old man. Tsunade knows how to handle major issues." Jiraiya assured him, patting his chest.

At this time, a yellow-haired boy pushed the door open and said carelessly: "Old man, where is Tsunade? I want to bring her back to save someone."

Then, he saw Jiraiya was also inside, so he greeted him and said, "Huh? Lecherous Immortal, you're here too."

"You should call me Jiraiya-sama, you little brat." Although his tone was unfriendly, he ruffled Naruto's hair affectionately while speaking.

"Damn it, don't act like a kid to me." Naruto said unhappily after knocking Jiraiya's hand away.

"Haha, that's great, you two can go look for Tsunade together." The Third Hokage said as he looked at the big and small in front of him.

"What? You want me to go with him? I don't want to." Naruto immediately shook his head and refused.

"What? Do you know how many people want to follow me, kid?" Jiraiya said immediately when he saw that Naruto disliked him so much.

"Tsk, just a weird uncle who likes to peek at women taking a bath. Besides, I have already learned your summoning technique, why should I follow you?" Naruto said with a pout.

"Hmph, do you think I only know one summoning technique?" After saying that, Jiraiya condensed a blue chakra ball in his hand.

"This is... If Naruto learns this, Minato will probably be very happy." The Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya's ninjutsu and said in his heart with relief.

But the next second, the third generation's face instantly fell.
