Konoha: After Retirement, Namikaze Minato Begged Me To Come Out

Wait until Sakumo turns his head again.

He then saw Jiraiya next to him like a Scottish hound, gnashing his teeth and staring at him with eyes filled with resentment.

If today's occasion hadn't been extraordinary, I'm afraid Jiraiya would have pounced on him and bit him.

Sakumo:

at this time.

The door to the conference room was pushed open from the outside.

"An old man and a young man" walked in from the door.

Both of them were wearing a magnificent "god-god robe". The styles of their clothes were very similar, but the colors were slightly different, one white and one black.

On the cloaks behind their robes.

Write the words "Third Hokage" and "Fourth Hokage" respectively.

The visitors were none other than Fusuke and Minato.

The two of them sat down on the main seats, one behind the other.

Tsunade suppressed the joy and excitement in his heart.

Her eyes were bright, and her eyes seemed to be glued to Fusuke's body.

"Master…………………………"

If it weren't for being in full view of the public, she might have been tempted to do something disloyal.

Fusuke's gaze turned slightly and flashed across the faces of Ayako, Renka and Tsunade.

At that moment, Fusuke couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes.

It can be seen that the three girls have carefully dressed up today, and they look more beautiful and dazzling than before.

BO.......

Today's main focus is to establish the candidate for Hokage, rather than appreciating the beauty of the three women.

Fusuke and Tsunade's eyes briefly touched in the air.

He nodded gently towards Tsunade.

Fusuke actually missed this disciple whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Afterwards, he withdrew his gaze and focused his mind on getting down to business.

And the other side.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..

"Master looks at me!!"

Tsunade said excitedly in his heart, a hint of joy flashed in his amber gem eyes.

"570"…………

Different from the last Hokage alternate meeting hosted by Minato.

This time, in order to reflect the importance the village attaches to the next Hokage, this meeting will be hosted by Fusuke himself.

"Everyone probably understands the purpose of calling everyone here today.

"Several Hokage candidates have now returned to the village."

"The purpose of this meeting is to decide the candidate for Fifth Hokage."

Fusuke said with a serious face.

Among the six previously selected Hokage candidates.

Uchiha Fugaku and Nara Shikamichi are both dead and unable to attend.

The remaining four people are now at the table.

Hearing Fusuke's words, all the Konoha Shinobi gods present could not help but become serious.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Next, Fusuke will give the content of the "Hokage Assessment", and the four candidates will go and perform it.

The one who completes it first will win the final victory and become the Hokage.

"Third Generation-sama, before the official start."

"Please allow me to interrupt for a moment."

At this moment, Hyuga Hiashi, one of the "Hokage", stood up and said vividly.

Hearing the sound, Fusuke nodded slightly, signaling Hiashi to speak.

"The two Hokage-samas are at the top, and my colleagues are at the side."

"I think I'm not capable enough to be a Hokage."

"So I ask the village to allow me to withdraw from the Hokage assessment."

Hyuga Hiashi said calmly, without feeling the slightest regret for missing Hokage in his words.

"I see."

"The village grants your request."

Fusuke nodded and agreed to Hyuga Hiashi's request.

The most valuable thing about people is self-awareness.

The possibility of Hyuga Hiashi taking over Hokage is even lower than Fusuke's voluntary comeback.

He was originally just a "runner" for the Hokage position, and it was expected that Hyuga Hiashi would withdraw on his own initiative.

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table was not too surprised, and everyone was not surprised by Hiashi's withdrawal.

"Since Hiashi took the initiative, let's take this opportunity."

"Then let me bring it up by the way."

"Master, you know.

"I'm used to idle clouds and wild cranes, so I'm really not the material to be a Hokage."

"I also want to withdraw from the Hokage assessment together."

Jiraiya suddenly spoke seriously at this time and also chose to quit.

Hearing the sound, moderate discussions began to take place in the table.

Most of the newly promoted Elite Jōnin and some ninjas who didn't know Jiraiya looked surprised.

Most of the old people in Konoha were not surprised.

"Hero Jiraiya" has become famous in the ninja world in recent years. He is also the disciple of the Third Generation and the master of the Fourth Generation.

In the eyes of many uninformed ninjas, he is the most favorable competitor for this Hokage.

Unexpectedly, Jiraiya would openly propose to quit at this time.

"That's right."

Fusuke nodded again and agreed to Jiraiya's withdrawal.

Many years ago, Jiraiya had the opportunity to become a Hokage.

It's just that Jiraiya has never been interested in taking the position of Hokage, otherwise it would not be Minato's turn to be Hokage.

With Fusuke's agreement.

Suddenly, the only candidates left to compete for Hokage were Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo.

For a moment, the eyes of everyone at the table were flowing back and forth between Hatake Sakumo and Tsunade.

at last.

Most people's eyes stayed on Tsunade's beautiful and noble face.

With a little thought, most people can easily guess who the next Hokage will be.

After all, although Hatake Sakumo is very powerful, he is also a high-ranking Anbu leader.

But compared with "Princess Konoha" Tsunade, her glorious background and identity are not inferior.

The granddaughter of First Hokage!

Grandchildren of Second Hokage!

Disciple of the Third Hokage!

The master uncle of Fourth Hokage!

The entire family is Hokage! With these multiple identities, who else could this Hokage be compared to her?

Fusuke was about to speak and continued to preside over the meeting.

at this time.

Hatake Sakumo, who had been sitting silently, suddenly stood up.

"Third Generation-sama, Fourth Generation-sama."

"Please allow me to withdraw from the Hokage assessment."

Sakumo spoke silently, his face full of calmness and determination.

"hiss!!"

Hearing the sound, everyone at the table took a breath of air.

Everyone stared at Hatake Sakumo's face in surprise.

certainly.

Among them are Uchiha Ayako and Hyuga Lotus.

Upon hearing the news that Sakumo had withdrawn from the Hokage competition, Ayako suddenly had a bright smile on her face.

At that moment, there was an uproar at the table.

Even though Tsunade's chances are indeed great, Hatake Sakumo is not without a chance.

If he is willing to fight hard, he may not be able to reach the top of Konoha and visit the Hokage.

But he never expected that Hatake Sakumo would throw away this "lottery ticket" symbolizing "supreme honor" in public.

Actively choose to "pass through the treasure mountain without entering".

Hearing the sound, even Fusuke's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

"Please rest assured, both Hokage-samas."

"Whoever succeeds Fifth Hokage will have my full support."

At this moment, Sakumo expressed his loyalty again.

His words undoubtedly once again stated that he has no ambitions for the position of Hokage.

call

"knew."

Fusuke could only nod helplessly.

After all, it made no sense that he had already agreed to Hiashi and Jiraiya's withdrawal, and was stuck with Sakumo.

With Sakumo giving up running for the Hokage.

This also means that the candidate for the Fifth Hokage fell on Tsunade in an extremely dramatic way.

Everyone turned their attention to Tsunade's noble and dignified cheeks, staring at the "Fifth Hokage" who was of noble birth and beautiful appearance.

No one thought Tsunade would refuse to be Hokage.

Even Fusuke thinks so.

Unlike the original work, Tsunade at this time has neither experienced emotional trauma nor suffered from hemophobia due to the unfortunate death of his younger brother.

Born as a "Senju of the Forest" and bathed in the glory of the Hokage from birth, her ideal (second) is to become a Hokage.

Although for some reason, Tsunade ultimately missed the opportunity to become the Fourth Hokage.

But that's why.

Fusuke felt that Tsunade had no reason to refuse to become the Fifth Hokage.

Now that there are six Hokage candidates, five have withdrawn.

Then of course there is no need to continue the so-called "assessment".

At this moment, Tsunade is what everyone expects.

Thinking of this, Fusuke no longer hesitated.

He cast his gaze on Tsunade, stared into Tsunade's beautiful amber eyes, and planned to announce the final result.

"Xiao Gang, then..."

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Fusuke's eyes suddenly flashed with a bad premonition.

Because he unexpectedly discovered that for some reason, Tsunade's gem eyes had a strange color at this moment.

He had seen such a look once before.

"Master!"

"Please allow me to decline to serve as Hokage."

Tsunade stood up suddenly and spoke to everyone in a firm and calm voice.

"What?!"

"Did I hear that right? Tsunade-hime actually refused to serve as Hokage!"

"This is impossible?!"

"what is going on!"

As soon as these words came out, the room exploded instantly.

Even Fusuke had a look of surprise on his face.

Then, a complex look appeared on Fusuke's face.

"Why?"

He couldn't help but subconsciously asked Tsunade.

Hear the words.

Tsunade looked directly into Fusuke's eyes, with a trace of nostalgia and color in his eyes.

"Maybe I'm not mature enough...

Finally, she pursed her lips and gave a reason that was not a reason.

During the banquet.

Perhaps only Fusuke and Tsunade can understand the deeper meaning of this sentence.

Afterwards, Tsunade didn't dare to look at Fusuke and just lowered his head.

In the midst of an uproar.

Uchiha Ayako raised the folding fan in her hand and covered the corners of her mouth whose curvature was obviously irrepressible.

Fusuke silently looked at Tsunade who lowered his head and said nothing, and covered his head with a headache.

No one would have thought of it.

The vigorous and dramatic battle for the Hokage, which symbolized supreme power and status, came to an end in a dramatic situation.

This situation has never happened before in the history of Konoha!!

but no matter.

This is the reality.

Even Fusuke has to accept this embarrassing situation at this moment...

I wonder what expressions Fugaku and Uchiha Kagami would show if they knew about this scene.

Some people even resorted to rebellion in order to fight for the Hokage.

And some people abandoned their old shoes for the Hokage who fell from the sky.

As the discussion at the table intensified, the situation became chaotic.

Minato, who was still on one side, took the initiative to stand up and find a way forward.

"Everyone, squad leader Shidao is in danger.

"The current class president position of Jōnin class is still vacant."

"We might as well take this opportunity to choose a new squad leader Jōnin.

Minato changed the topic at the right time, saving the awkward situation during the dinner.

"Yeah!"

” Fourth Generation is right.

"Let's choose monitor Jōnin first."

Some Elite Jōnin who were loyal to the Fourth Generation also noticed the awkward atmosphere on the scene and helped out one after another.

For a moment, everyone showed complicated expressions and fell silent.

A "Hokage assessment meeting" turned into a Jōnin squad leader assessment meeting."

In the main position, Fusuke was somewhat silent.

Subsequently, Minato continued to be responsible for the selection of Jōnin class leader.

Fusuke rubbed his temples and began to think about what went wrong.

Since returning to Konoha this time.

Fusuke felt vaguely that something seemed strange.

But whenever he thought deeply, he felt that everything was normal and nothing had changed.

Vaguely, he seemed to feel that a large invisible net had been spread out and was heading towards him.

At this moment, he was like a fish that had fallen into a net, and he didn't know who was holding the net.

Fusuke raised his head and scanned every area of ​​the table.

His mind kept thinking about people who had the ability to lay out his plans.

Sakumo, Jiraiya, Hyuga Renge... even Namikaze Minato beside him.

Until the end, Fusuke turned his attention to Uchiha Ayako, who had covered half of her face without permission, revealing only a pair of charming eyes.

call

After a long silence, he couldn't help but sigh.

Even if his intuition and some signs indicate that Ayako is hiding something from her.

Maybe the other end of the "net" is in Ayako's hand.

But Fusuke knew in his heart that Ayako would rather hurt herself than hurt a hair on his head.

Think before and after.

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Ayako's gourd, Fusuke couldn't take any proactive action because of the lack of evidence.

At the moment, he still needs to concentrate on dealing with the unfavorable situation in front of him.

Because Fusuke suddenly discovered that Tsunade and Sakumo refused to serve as Hokage.

For a time, Konoha was so big that it was difficult to choose a suitable candidate.

Thinking of this, the four of them couldn't help but have a headache.

after a while.

This "Jōnin Squad Leader Assessment Meeting" has come to an end.

In the end, the position of Jōnin squad leader was temporarily taken over by Hyuga Hiashi, who had just resigned as a "Hokage alternate".

Soon, everyone at the table left one after another.

After most of the ninjas left.

U5.8 Chiha Ayako kindly walked to Hyuga Renka's side and took Renka's little hand.

What is rare is that Renhua did not refuse Ayako's approach.

"Giggle, gang Ge Lan. 11

"Let's take a step first~"

The charming Ayako smiled sweetly at Fusuke in a blink of an eye, and then prepared to leave with Renhua.

On the other side, Lianhua, who was pulled by the rope, said nothing.

But every few steps she would take, she would silently look back and glance at Fusuke with indifferent glass eyes.

It looks like a kitten pulling open the door when its owner goes out to work.

"Let's go!"

Seeing this, Ayako reluctantly increased her efforts, and then dragged Lianhua, who was "turning back three times in one step," out of the conference room.

Until Ayako and Renka left.

Fusuke, Minato, Jiraiya, Tsunade and Sakumo were the only five people left in the room.

Both Tsunade and Sakumo had a tacit understanding and did not choose to leave.

Both of them knew that matters concerning Hokage could not end so hastily.

The problem has not yet been solved, and a solution must be negotiated.

But after everything that happened just now, no one knew how to speak.

At that moment, the table fell into a strange silence.

"AAA............"

"That, that...

"Master, Minato, Tsunade."

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, how about we catch up?"

It was Jiraiya who took the initiative to laugh twice and invited everyone at the table.

"Okay, Master.

Minato was the first to agree with a gentle smile.

Upon hearing Jiraiya's request, Tsunade's eyes lit up.

"sure!"

She responded eagerly.

"This way, I can stay with Master for a little longer..."

After responding, Tsunade couldn't help but think silently in Chūnin's mind.

The bright color in Tsunade's eyes was clearly seen by Jiraiya, who had been observing Tsunade. .
