Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

Unlike ordinary villagers, they have access to far more intelligence and information.

With this advantage, it's easier to guess the meaning behind it.

Konoha is now riddled with holes.

The grand announcement of Tsunade's return to the village was naturally intended to give the dejected village a much-needed boost.

No, it's not just Tsunade.

News of the Wood Release ninja also spread throughout the village.

This second Wood Release ninja to be born in Konoha after Hashirama Senju also sparked a heated discussion in the village.

The news, when combined with the story of Tsunade's return to the village, created a strange chemistry, making the discussion even more heated...

While the outside world was buzzing with discussion, in the Uchiha clan compound, Namikaze Mirai and Uchiha Fugaku were leisurely sipping tea.

It was as if the outside world's enthusiasm had nothing to do with them.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi probably wants to put Tsunade in the position of the Fifth Hokage."

After careful consideration, Fugaku Uchiha uttered these words in a deep voice.

This grand gesture, even going so far as to release information about the Wood Release ninja, is completely out of character for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The only possibility is that he has a deeper purpose.

After much thought, this was the only possibility that Fugaku Uchiha could come up with.

He was afraid.

Namikaze Mirai placed the teacup on the table, a hint of disdain and amusement playing at the corners of her mouth.

Danzo is dead.

The next step is to begin.

It's a battle for the position of the fifth generation leader.

How could Hiruzen Sarutobi just stand by and watch him become Hokage?

The bigger the movement, the harder it is to hide his fear.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was already in a panic and had no idea where to go.

Fugaku Uchiha nodded in agreement.

The only person who could inspire fear in the "strongest Hokage in history" as recorded in textbooks is probably Mirai Namikaze.

"It looks like the Jonin election will be the focus of the next round of competition."

Namikaze smiled faintly.

He could guess what Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking.

If there is more than one candidate, the final election for Hokage will be determined by the number of Jonin votes.

Tsunade has deep-rooted support in Konoha.

As the granddaughter of that ninja god, this identity will bring her extra votes.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wants to ambush him on this path!

"What should we do in the future..."

Fugaku Uchiha was somewhat nervous.

The Uchiha clan has a significant number of Jonin, making it arguably the ninja clan with the most Jonin in Konoha.

However, the number of Jonin in the Uchiha clan alone could not compare to Tsunade, who was fully supported by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

If you lose the Jonin election...

"Don't panic."

Namikaze Mirai appeared quite calm.

"If I'm not mistaken, those villages outside will probably make some moves soon too."

Danzo is dead, and he has killed almost all of the Root members.

Konoha's overall strength has declined significantly once again.

With such a commotion, Bo Feng Wei Lai couldn't believe that those villages hadn't noticed.

It's estimated that they're already itching to make a move.

Perhaps, there will be a new round of testing.

But this is also a huge opportunity.

The former God of Ninjas can never compare to the current God of Ninjas.

The era of Hashirama Senju has passed.

A new era is about to begin.

"Fugaku, a great wind is about to rise. How far you can fly with this wind depends on your choice."

Namikaze Mirai gazed at Fugaku across the low table with a faint smile.

Fugaku Uchiha held his breath.

His gaze began to burn.

He knew that this was what Namikaze Mirai wanted to hear his opinion on.

Looking at the smiling blond face in front of him, Fugaku's thoughts drifted back to the scene when Mikami Namikaze explained his dream.

He wants to change the ninja world, starting with the Uchiha clan, then Konoha, and eventually the entire ninja world!

Riding the winds of the future, the Uchiha clan will soar very, very high.

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes reddened, and he took a deep breath.

The voice was solemn and earnest.

"In the future, no matter what, the Uchiha will stand with you through thick and thin."

Chapter 62 Tsunade decides to visit Namikaze Mirai

Tsunade has returned to the village.

Walking down the village street, listening to the enthusiastic discussions about her among the villagers, her face turned as black as charcoal.

"What's the old man up to? Didn't I already say I was just coming back to visit? Why make such a fuss?"

Fortunately, she had the foresight to use the transformation spell in advance; otherwise, a large group of villagers would have excitedly surrounded her, making it impossible to pass.

Having already received news of Tsunade's return to the village, Hiruzen Sarutobi waited anxiously in the Hokage's office.

This was the first time he so desperately wanted Tsunade to return to the village.

Sweat appeared on my palms from nervousness.

Suddenly, the door to the Hokage's office was violently pushed open.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up.

Only two people could break into the Hokage's room in this way.

Danzo is dead, so only...

"Old man! What are you doing? Didn't I already emphasize that my return should be kept secret?"

Tsunade had one hand on the door frame, her face showing considerable displeasure.

Along the way, every villager knew she was coming back, making her feel like she was invisible.

"Just come back! Just come back!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his wrinkled face beaming like a chrysanthemum, went to greet him.

"Stop!"

Tsunade leaned back in disgust.

“I made it very clear that I came back only to see Tianzang.”

"Wait a moment, I will call Tianzang over immediately."

Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned an ANBU member and gave him some instructions.

after awhile.

Tenzo, dressed in the uniform of the Anbu and carrying a ninja sword, appeared in the Hokage's room.

"Hokage-sama, you are looking for me."

Having received news of Danzo's death, Tenzo's identity has changed from Root to Anbu.

The base was just as dark and gloomy, and the daily training was just as intense, but the attention it received was far greater than when it was in the Root.

Tsunade looked Tenzo up and down.
