Naruto, Uncle, I Am Going To Be A Hokage.

Chapter 31 Get Hokage Half Sleeve, Penumbra Namikaze Chiba!

"I want to... give the Hokage a try."

When Chiba's words came out, there was no doubt that the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

The smile on Sarutobi's face paused.

Immediately looked at Qianye.

"Qianye, don't make such jokes in front of the envoy."

Chiba smiled and said:

"If I say that, I'm not kidding."

The expression on Sarutobi's face remained unchanged, with a smile.

But didn't answer.

On the contrary, Mitokado Homura spoke at this time:

"Namikaze Chiba, don't say such things in front of the messenger, it's very unruly!"

"If not, you should leave here first and don't let the messenger see your joke!"

Chiba ignored him at all.

The messenger then smoothed things over and said:

"It's always good for young people to have such ideas. It's a good thing to at least dare to speak out."

"Namikaze Chiba has contributed to Danzo's matter, so there is no need to be too harsh."

Mitokado Homura snorted and did not continue on this matter.

The messenger said:

"Now that Danzo is dead, he did have a lot of power in the village."

"So...how will he distribute the remaining powers?"

The messenger got straight to the point and spoke very directly.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Sarutobi and asked with a smile:

"I wonder, Mr. Third Generation, do you have any recommendations?"

Sarutobi's expression remained unchanged, with a smile.

"Namikaze Chiba has done a lot on this matter and has contributed a lot. He can take over, but... his qualifications are a bit too junior. Otherwise, he would be fine."

Sarutobi's words.

I praised Qianye again in the past, but I undoubtedly said this later.

To take over Danzo's position, he Namikaze Chiba is not qualified.

"Third Generation-sama seems to have already considered this."

Sarutobi said:

"Danzo has too much power, so the selection is naturally extremely important. I have thought about it carefully and thought about it a lot. I am even thinking about it today because of this."

The messenger smiled.

Didn't answer.

In politics, Sarutobi is undoubtedly a veteran.

Usually he seems to be kind and drunk, but when it comes to power, he will never give in.

The envoy also knew that it was impossible to get Danzo to hand over his authority simply by relying on a few words.

So...

Means are still needed.

He glanced at Chiba seemingly unintentionally.

But I found that Namikaze Chiba didn't seem to care about this.

The messenger said:

"Then Mr. Third Generation, are there any other candidates?"

Danzo pointed to Mitokado Homura aside and said:

"Mito was also one of the guards of Second Hokage. He has made a lot of contributions to the village over the years."

“It couldn’t be better for him to take Danzo’s place.”

After speaking, he looked at the messenger and said:

"What do you think, Lord Messenger?"

"I feel very good."

Surprisingly, the messenger nodded in agreement with Sarutobi's words.

This made Sarutobi a little stunned.

Although he was smiling, there was a hint of doubt in his smile.

The messenger said:

"If we just decide like this, Mitokado Homura will take over Danzo's remaining duties, and I can report it to the Daimyo as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Mitokado Homura and said:

"What do you think, Mito-sama?"

Mitokado Homura naturally would not refuse, snorted at Namikaze Chiba and said:

"Your Majesty, the full-screen messenger, has the final say."

The messenger smiled and said:

"This is best. I don't like to be long-winded. Now that this matter has been settled, Lord Third Generation should have no meaning anymore, right?"

Sarutobi was wary though.

But I really couldn't think of any questions, so I had no choice but to nod.

The messenger suddenly said:

"But apart from this, the daimyo asked me to come, and there is one more thing that needs to be discussed."

"What's up?"

Sarutobi narrowed his eyes.

He knew clearly that what the messenger was going to say below was the real thing.

"A candidate has been found for Danzo's position, but these days, Mr. Third Generation has returned to the position. Although the village has been stabilized, more and more mistakes have been made in recent years."

"Hyuga's matter, Uchiha's matter, and Danzo's matter, also, the daimyo heard that the Fourth Generation's son was finally entrusted to the Third Generation-sama, but he didn't treat him well."

"These things make the Daimyo somewhat dissatisfied with Mr. Third Generation."

"I also hope that Mr. Third Generation can give the Daimyo a reasonable explanation."

Sarutobi's face remained unchanged and he spoke:

"I do have some mistakes regarding these, but this is also the biggest hidden danger in the village. Now that I have eradicated them one by one, the village will naturally prosper and get better and better."

"oh?"

The messenger spoke again:

"But the Daimyo heard that Orochimaru, a rebel ninja who recently left Konoha, has been increasingly active and has even appeared on the border of the Fire Country several times, doing human experiments from time to time. As a result, many people in the Fire Country have disappeared. "

"Mr. Third Generation has been dealing with these for a long time. What's the result?"

Sarutobi explains:

"Orochimaru is very powerful. He has surpassed the strength of ordinary Jōnin and is close to Kage-level. Even if he is captured, it will take time. Village affairs..."

"Third Generation-sama!"

The messenger interrupted Sarutobi's last words.

The smile disappeared from his face.

"You are the Hokage, the Third Hokage, the Hokage that the Second Generation has high hopes for, and the daimyo supports!"

"What they want is for Konoha to become better and stronger! Instead of making mistakes again and again and asking you to make up for it! This is not what Hokage should do!"

"Since you already knew about things like Danzo this time, why didn't you make arrangements earlier? So as to avoid it!"

"Don't talk about Danzo's strength. You are Hokage, the most powerful person in Konoha."

"If you can sit in this position, you should think of ways to avoid this, instead of waiting for something to go wrong and then thinking about shirk!"

"Third Generation-sama, what do you think?"

Sarutobi's face froze.

He knew why the messenger had agreed so readily to Mitokado Homura who had previously taken over Danzo's position.

Because when he came here, his initial goal was not Danzo's position.

Rather, take power from him.

Limiting his Hokage's powers.

He suddenly looked at Namikaze Chiba, and saw Namikaze Chiba smiling at the corner of his mouth. When Sarutobi looked at him, he nodded towards him.

All this was arranged by Namikaze Chiba!

Sarutobi took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"Then what do you think, Lord Messenger?"

"Third Generation-sama has indeed done too many wrong things in recent times. This makes the Daimyo doubt whether Third Generation-sama is too old and some of his judgments are not so accurate."

"The meaning of daimyo is to choose someone from the village to assist you."

"To prevent you from making the wrong decision again."

Sarutobi quietly clenched his fists.

The expression on his face changed, but it didn't take long before it returned to normal.

Sarutobi said:

"But it should be difficult to find such a person in the village, right?"

"If this were not the case, I would not take over again after Minato's death."

The messenger laughed:

"Third Generation-sama is indeed right, but that was the Konoha of the past, but now... there is actually one person."

"Namikaze Chiba, if I remember correctly, among the things that Mr. Third Generation decided to go wrong, it was all thanks to him that he was able to turn the tide and prevent the village from suffering too much loss."

"The daimyo heard these things and admired him very much. The Third Generation-sama also said that Danzo's matter this time was the great contribution of Namikaze Minato. If that is the case, let him do it."

Finally, he looked at Sarutobi and said:

"Third Generation-sama, do you have any questions?"

Sarutobi still wants to struggle:

"Since ancient times, the village has not had a job to assist the Hokage. Now if we have to set it up like this, I'm afraid it will alienate the village!"

The messenger smiled and said:

"Konoha was originally founded by the Senju and Uchiha clans. Now the Uchiha clan is under the control of Chiba, and the Senju clan... there are not many left. Tsunade, who is most qualified to take over, is not yet in Konoha."

"Is it possible that these two tribes are not qualified to help you?"

This is quite heartbreaking.

Once Sarutobi answered no, he publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the two major clans that founded Konoha.

"Of course not."

"Namikaze Chiba comes to help me, I am naturally willing."

"I'm afraid he's still young and won't be able to do well."

Chiba curled his lips, knowing that it was time for him to play.

"Sarutobi-sama, don't worry. I will naturally do my best to assist the Hokage. Not only that, even if you fail, I will still help the village win back."

"I will capture Orochimaru. I will fight back in the battle that Konoha lost."

"Just one sentence, I will do whatever you can do, and I will do whatever you can't do!"

"I, Namikaze Chiba, dare to say such things!"

One sentence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen squinted his eyes.

I was speechless for a long time.

On the side, Mitokado Homura saw the situation and suddenly spoke:

"This precedent-setting thing should not happen in Konoha. It is not good for the village!"

The messenger suddenly said:

"Then if Mito-sama doesn't support it, does it mean that he is against the daimyo? Then, this year's aid to Konoha and... your previous position, sir, will probably be delayed."

The threat of Chi Guoguo!

Mitokado Homura was stunned when he heard this.

I understood immediately.

The authority that he had previously taken over had become a shackles.

Either give up, or... just agree!

However, the power in one's own hands is real.

As for what Sarutobi lost...

Hey, what does that have to do with him?

After thinking about this.

Mitokado Homura suddenly changed his tune:

"Actually, I think Namikaze Chiba is really good and very suitable."

Chiba showed a sarcastic smile:

"Then, thank you Mito-sama for your support."

Then he looked at Sarutobi:

"What do you think, Mr. Third Generation?"

Sarutobi said:

"Of course I won't refuse. After all, this is also something that is beneficial to the village."

"In that case, that's the decision."

"Mito-sama will take over Danzo's position, while Namikaze Chiba will assist Third Generation-sama in managing the village."

The messenger finished.

And said:

"Since you are the auxiliary Third Generation-sama, Namikaze Chiba should also have a suitable title, and...have corresponding clothes."

"As for the title, I can't decide yet, but it's about the clothes."

The messenger thought for a moment.

"If not, give Hokage half a sleeve first."

As soon as the words came out.

Mitokado Homura was stunned.

Because he knows very well what Hokage half-sleeves represent.

The last person to have a Hokage half-sleeve was called Hatake Sakumo, who was once considered the successor of the Hokage.

Unfortunately, in the end the power was handed over to Sarutobi.

And now.

Another Hokage half sleeve appears.

Mitokado Homura looked at Namikaze Chiba and finally chose not to speak.

silence.

Sarutobi thought for a moment and nodded.

"Can."

"I won't use the job title for the time being. It will have a great impact on the village."

The messenger smiled.

Didn't refuse either.

After all, being able to separate Sarutobi's authority is already a success.

The symbol of the Hokage half sleeve is almost Sarutobi's bottom line.

If you push me further, I will probably break up.

No need.

It's just a title.

With the help of Namikaze Chiba, it is the same whether he has it or not.

Chiba smiled at this time and said:

"Thank you all for your support."

"Assisting Hokage, I will naturally do my best and won't let him make any mistakes!"

The messenger patted Namikaze Chiba on the shoulder and smiled:

"Work hard, the Daimyo appreciates you."

Chiba smiled:

"Thank you, Lord Messenger."

The messenger said:

"In this case, the matter has been resolved, so I won't stay too long. I have to go back quickly and return to the daimyo."

Chiba said:

"Master Messenger has been working hard all over the place. Can you please give me a gift, Master Mito?"

Mitokado Homura nodded.

Left with the messenger.

inside the room.

Only two were left, Sarutobi and Chiba.

"Sir Third Generation, I have reminded you long ago that the door is always as good as new and durable, so why are you struggling?"

Chiba smiled.

Said this.

Sarutobi said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that you still have such means, and you actually included the daimyo."

"Everyone depends on their ability, right?"

"If you hadn't made so many mistakes, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to take away the rights in your hands. In the end, it's all thanks to you!"

Sarutobi took a deep breath.

His face looked a little ugly.

"The Hokage has a lot to deal with. Don't think that taking away some authority is a good thing."

"This is not a good thing for Third Generation-sama to worry about."

"I'm leaving now. I won't disturb Mr. Third Generation. By the way, sir, don't forget. Now I am the Hokage's auxiliary. I will trouble you to send a copy to the police department for the upcoming matters in the village."

"I'm a lazy person, so I won't come here to get it."

Finished.

Then left here.

Looking at Chiba's leaving figure, Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, filled with coldness.

Today's events.

He is the only loser.

Namikaze Chiba got enough of it, as did Mitokado Homura.

The last move undoubtedly divided him and Mitokado Homura, making the man who was his supporter think more.

Of course, on the surface, the two of them are still one.

but.

Once interests are involved, Mitokado Homura may not stand on Sarutobi's side.

In the past, although he was also a senior member of the village, in fact, he would never conflict with Sarutobi.
