Naruto: Start by eating the golden fruit.

Chapter 644 It’s chaos, it’s all chaos!

Hokage selection.

This is an extremely important event for Konoha Village and even for the entire ninja world.

Konoha Village is now the undisputed boss of the entire ninja world.

Moreover, it just happened that Otsutsuki Isshiki was beaten to death by the ninjas of Konoha Village, and even the Ten-Tails he released was dealt with by Konoha Village. Then Yuya said that his role as the Third Hokage had reached the end of its rope and he wanted to give up, so now it was time to select the Fourth Hokage.

What do the other villages think?
The Fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village called immediately and started with a blunt question: "You old man are really good at talking nonsense. If you say you quit being the Hokage for other reasons, I believe you. But if you say you can't continue to be the Hokage due to health reasons, do you think I believe you? The think tank of our Hidden Cloud Village has determined that your health is not only great, but you can probably find several women every day, right?!"

Yuya, who was watching TV at home, said speechlessly to the Fourth Raikage on the other end of the phone: "No, after all, you are the dignified Raikage, can you not speak so disgustingly?
Can you please be more civilized?"

Tsunade in the kitchen looked over here and shook her head with a smile.

Well, the Fourth Raikage was right about this. Yuya is in good health. There is nothing wrong with him. He even...

"Hmm," Tsunade coughed, bringing some cut fruits to the sofa to watch TV with Yuya.

The Fourth Raikage curled his lips and said, "Bullshit civilization! If you weren't the Hokage in Konoha Village, don't blame us for teaming up to test you again!"

The Fourth Raikage was of course referring to the incident when Yuya first came to power and several other large ninja villages joined forces to cause trouble.

But at that time, You Ya easily resolved it.

Directly sign a trade contract with the Sand Village, a fishery contract with the Mist Village, a food contract with the Rock Village, and a contract with the Cloud Village...

He just waved to the Hidden Cloud Village: Come here!
And so the crisis was overcome.

Tsunade became a little nervous. If the other villages really united to target Konoha Village again, Konoha Village would be in real trouble.

You Ya was not afraid at all: "Come on, just come on, you have so many satellites in the sky, I don't believe you don't know about our battle with the Otsutsuki clan.

You can come as you please. Anyway, I think that to deal with your village, one drone swarm is basically enough. Any more would be a waste."

The Fourth Raikage was completely speechless.

Damn it, Yuya was right. They really had the video of the battle between Konoha Village and Otsutsuki Isshiki.

Or the ultra-high-definition kind.

Well, they bought it at a high price from some fearless ninja merchants in Konoha Village who recorded the battlefield at that time.

Yuya never intended to hide the war technology of their Konoha Village.

In fact, it cannot be concealed.

Even though Otsutsuki Isshiki seems to be a weakling, if there were fewer people, if the technical ability of Konoha Village was lower, or if he simply didn't have Hinata's pair of pure eyes, do you think Otsutsuki Isshiki could escape?

If Otsutsuki Isshiki escapes, it will bring a devastating threat to Konoha Village.

Therefore, no matter how loud the noise was, You Ya would not let him get away.

Then it would be even more impossible to conceal it.

So Youya simply gave up on talking nonsense with the Fourth Raikage and told him his cards directly.

"Just wait, you bastard! Sooner or later, our Hidden Cloud Village will have its own drone swarm!"

Youya just found the Fourth Raikage's frustrated voice funny: "Ah, right, right, come on, come on, by the time you have a drone swarm, we won't even know how many generations we have already gone through."

The Fourth Raikage sighed, then was silent for a moment before asking, "Will you sell your drone swarm?"

You Ya laughed out loud: "Good fellow, I was wondering why you called me today, so you were waiting for me here, right?
Well, as you know, this drone swarm is a high-tech technology, so it must be very precious. Moreover, the production capacity of this drone is limited, and the core materials are also very scarce. We..."

"Alright, alright, you and I both know each other's character. As long as you are willing to sell, it means that your drones are at least the second generation, and you are probably even developing the third generation. The first generation is not outdated, but it is definitely not that valuable. I won't let you suffer a loss. If you double the cost, I will accept it. How do you say that?"

You Ya smacked his lips and said, "Oh, this matter, this matter, it's not easy to deal with, you know, I'm here..."

"three times."

"Oh, look at what you said. Our Konoha Village and the Hidden Cloud Village have such a good relationship. If there are any good things, I will definitely think of you good brothers..." You Ya immediately started to talk nonsense happily.

“Alright, I have conditions for this price.” The Fourth Raikage said in a serious tone.

You Ya nodded: "Yes, it should be, the customer is God, you say."

“No other village can buy it for less than this price.”

You Ya laughed immediately. It's really your style to harm others without benefiting yourself.

"No problem~"

After the business was settled, the Fourth Raikage started talking about the real business of the Hokage selection: "Hey, for so many years, you and I have been arguing with each other. Can you tell me the truth? Do you really have no one in mind for the Fourth Hokage this time?"

You Ya curled his lips and said, "It's useless if I have a choice myself. If you ask me, Nara Shikamaru is very capable, but it depends on whether he can be selected."

The Fourth Raikage snorted, "The Nara clan has always had the Hokage's secretaries. Will you let them take the official position?"

"Well, who knows~" Youya's smile grew.

"Forget it, stop talking nonsense. Send me a list later. I'll get a set of bee swarms first."

"Okay~ Welcome back, boss~"

Finally the call was hung up, and Tsunade beside him quickly picked up an orange and handed it to You Xi.

You Xi took it and dialed the number while chewing~
After a moment, the call was connected.

"Hokage-sama? Is there anything wrong?" came the voice of Nara Shikaku.

"Shikaku, get me a list of drone swarms. I don't care how you fill in the data, but you have to change the final cost estimate to three times the actual cost."

Nara Shikaku took a deep breath and said, "Who are you trying to trick, Hokage?"

You Ya was dissatisfied: "Why? When have I ever cheated anyone? If the other person doesn't have this technology, he deserves to spend so much more money."

"...Okay, I get it." Nara Shikaku sighed helplessly.

Youya said smugly, “Look, Shikaku, this is the only bad thing about your Nara clan.

The heart is not dirty.

Otherwise, the position of Hokage would have belonged to your family long ago."

Nara Shikaku: "No, I don't want to go to hell in the future. I still think it's good to have a bottom line. I'm going to work first. I'll contact you if there's anything."

Then Nara Shikaku couldn't wait to hang up the phone.

Tsunade couldn't help but burst out laughing: "The cost is three times, and if we sell it to the Hidden Cloud Village, we'll get three times more~hahahaha~"

You Ya chuckled: "Even so, they still have to thank us~" Tsunade laughed so hard that her body shook. After a moment, her eyes gradually became blurred.

Youya finally had some time to rest, so he should cultivate more feelings...

Isn’t that just perfect?
……

In addition to the call from the Fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, other villages also began to contact Youya one after another.

Youya does treat everyone equally.

If you want to buy a drone, then give me the money. If you don’t want to buy it, then let’s just chat about it.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa of the Sand Village is the most stingy. He doesn't want to pay but wants a drone. Unfortunately, Youya is much more powerful and ignores his needs.

Afterwards, the influence of the selection of Hokage gradually became apparent.

Although he will not officially take over as the actual person in charge of a region until next year.

But now that the list has been announced, a lot of preparation needs to begin.

For example, Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato.

This couple has almost raped all the horses in Mitomon Yan's house recently.

why?
You Ya didn’t inform them about this!
Actually speaking, although Youya gave these candidates several months to prepare, if they were to prepare for this selection according to the standards of Hokage, a few months would not be enough.

Don’t Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki want their son Naruto Uzumaki to become Hokage?

I dream about that!

By then, even if Naruto is not very helpful, they can still serve as a think tank and give advice!

Why are all the nominations children of the new generation?
Behind Nara Shikamaru is the entire Nara family. Everyone in the family is a hundred times smarter. In fact, if Shikamaru really becomes Hokage, no one in the Nara family would mind being Shikamaru's think tank.

This is different from when Yuya was competing with Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi for the position of Hokage.

Although everyone had power behind them at that time, what really mattered was their personal abilities.

but now……

Everyone in Konoha Village understood that it was impossible for one person to compete with Yuya for the better position of Hokage.

But if it's a group of people, then it's fine.

Times are changing. Traditionally, the position of Hokage depends on one individual. So, if the next Hokage is really not capable, a group of think tanks can just follow the strategy formulated by Youya unswervingly. What's the big deal?
Among them, the ones who have the clearest understanding of this selection are undoubtedly the couple Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato.

You Ya launched a surprise attack without informing them, but he also did not inform people from other families.

The conditions are the same, so...

Isn't it about who can integrate the support team behind the scenes in the shortest time, and then launch a three-year charge towards the position of Hokage starting from next year? !

And now...

Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina looked at the pile of unfinished government affairs in the Land of Whirlpools, and they almost wanted to kill Mito Kado En.

No, you asked us to help you watch over the Whirlpool Country for a few years. How many years has it been?
Three years later and another three years?
Are you going to make a movie?!
If my son doesn't become Hokage, I will explode you guys!
Mitomon Yan was also feeling bitter. Damn, this old man Yuya had no moral principles! How could anyone launch a surprise attack like you? !

The Fire Country Daimyo Prefecture was also in chaos.

Again, this time Yuya announced the Hokage selection suddenly.

No one in Konoha Village is ready, so how could the people in the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion be ready?
They were even confused when Yuya asked them for a list of candidates for the Fourth Hokage.

Huh? What fourth generation? Didn't you do a good job as the third generation Hokage? How come you are the fourth generation?
Why did you let us nominate?
Is our Daming Prefecture still eligible for nomination?

Isn't your Konoha Village almost completely independent? Why are you still giving us a chance to nominate?
Regardless of what they thought, the end result was that the Daming Prefecture began to prepare for the selection in a hurry, and in the end had no choice but to pick a few people who seemed like they might be able to be controlled in the future as candidates.

The Land of Fire was in chaos. The Leaf Village was in chaos, and the people of other countries were naturally in chaos as well.

Of course, the confusion here refers to the spiritual level.

When many people in Konoha Village heard the news, their first reaction was that Yuya wanted a yo-yo and didn't want to be Hokage anymore.

After a careful investigation, I found out that one area would be selected for governance next year, and evaluation would be conducted every year. After three years, all the people in the best governed area would become Hokage, and Youya would retreat from the front stage to behind the scenes and join the staff of the Fourth Hokage.

Oh, so the Third Hokage won’t leave completely, that’s okay.

They thought You Ya was just going to give up.

Now that's the case, it's okay.

but……

Who will succeed? I am so looking forward to it!
Some betting companies even came up with a guessing game about who would be the next Hokage, but before it even started, Yuya sent someone to have a talk with them.

This kind of thing is a serious matter, how can it be related to spinach?

The selected candidates were also confused.

After being confused, some are happy and some are sad.

The one who was happy at first and then sad was Naruto.

Of course he was happy when he knew he was a candidate.

After learning about the wisdom that a Hokage needs to possess, Naruto's legs went weak.

No, he only had a rough idea of how good the Third Hokage Yuya was.

But now...

When he became one of the candidates, his horizons were completely opened up...

Politics, economy, culture, technology, education, medical care...

Youya has dabbled in all aspects, and is able to accurately place the best candidates in their most suitable positions...

How does he compare?
He never passed any exams when he was in school!
Naruto already felt a little regretful and even had thoughts of regretting it.
