Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

A single attack from the sky easily defeated the Eight-Tails.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has been captured, Kumogakure has surrendered, and the Raikage is already drafting a ceasefire agreement?

One shocking piece of news after another flooded his eyes, making his brain feel like it had been hammered, and he froze on the spot as if petrified.

"Hokage-sama?"

"Lord Hokage!"

The scouts called out to him several times, but they could not wake him.

pat!

The scroll in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp thud.

……

It was early spring, and the ice and snow were melting.

News from the front lines spread like a spring breeze throughout Konoha.

A joyful atmosphere filled the village, with villagers in high spirits and excited discussions echoing throughout Konoha.

"We win! We win!"

"Kumakugakure used two tailed beasts, but they were no match for the Blue Flash. As expected of the Fourth Hokage's younger brother!"

"Even the Fourth Hokage didn't have such a brilliant performance in the Third Shinobi World War, did he? Mirai Namikaze has already surpassed the Fourth Hokage!"

……

Outside the village, the victorious Konoha troops, after days of travel, were approaching Konoha Village.

The outline of the leaves appeared in my field of vision.

The ninjas in the unit were in high spirits and their hearts were pounding.

They experienced a war that will be recorded in history!

Mirai Namikaze, that legendary ninja, easily defeated the Eight-Tails in mid-air, fighting two opponents alone.

How magnificent!

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was captured, and Kumogakure was forced to surrender.

They are all heroes of the village!

At the forefront of the troops, Fugaku Uchiha followed behind Mirai Namikaze, gazing at the blond figure in front of him.

A deep sense of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

His choice at the time was indeed correct.

Namikaze Mirai is a benefactor of the Uchiha clan.

Riding this wave, the Uchiha clan will soar very, very high.

"Fugaku, once we get back to the village, we need to make preparations."

Just as Fugaku Uchiha was feeling sentimental, he suddenly heard the calm voice of Mirai Namikaze.

I was taken aback.

Fugaku had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

He drew closer and asked in a low voice, "Is the future about to begin?"

His heart was pounding.

Naruto!

The Fifth Hokage!

Just by silently reciting these words in your heart, you can feel their weight.

Could the Uchiha clan one day become the Hokage's direct descendants?

“Sarutobi is getting old, but the vacant Hokage position cannot be left vacant for a day. We need a more suitable person to take over his position.”

Fugaku's heart pounded as he listened to Namikaze Mirai's words.

Deep in his eyes was an indescribable excitement.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.

"The Uchiha will follow you to the death!"

The conversation between the two was brief. The victorious Konoha troops passed through the gate, where villagers who had been waiting for a long time were waiting. Their excited cheers echoed throughout the village.

"It's them, they're back!"

"A hero of the village!"

"Blue flash!"

"Blue flash!!"

……

In the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked through the window at the ninjas below receiving cheers from the villagers, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Those deafening cheers of "Blue Flash" were like needles piercing his heart.

It made his already aged face look even more aged, as if he had aged more than ten years.

The water gate back then was also greeted with cheers from the villagers in the same way.

No, Mirai Namikaze has already surpassed Minato from back then.

Even the Watergate scandal of that year couldn't have as much impact as this.

Inside the Hokage's room, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mito listened to the cheers coming from outside the Hokage Building.

His face was equally pale.

A few months ago, their close friend Danzo was brutally murdered by Mirai Namikaze.

And now, the murderer who killed Danzo.

The villagers are cheering!

……

The entire village of Konoha was filled with excitement.

The battle was the subject of heated discussions on the streets and alleys.

However, no one noticed that shortly after the ninjas returned, letters were secretly sent out through various clandestine channels.

The recipients were almost all clan leaders of major ninja clans, or high-ranking officials in Konoha.

Upon reading the contents of the letter, all of them held their breath, some with solemn expressions, some with expectant looks, and some with hearts pounding...

However, no one leaked the information.

The letter was quietly destroyed.

They knew that a storm was about to sweep through the entire Hidden Leaf Village!

Choosing sides in this storm will determine the future of them and the forces behind them.

Kakashi, who was on duty outside the Hokage Building, also received a letter.

His pupils contracted sharply when he saw the contents of the letter.

"Kakashi, at this time tomorrow, a coup will take place in the Hokage Building."

"As Minato's disciple, and his only disciple, I hope you can make the right choice."

Kakashi held his breath.

His eyes revealed a deep sense of shock.

Is Minato's younger brother, the blue flash, finally going to make his move?

He took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions.

Or rather, this was something that was destined to happen.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is old, but he occupies the position of Hokage and refuses to step down.

Konoha needs a younger, more ambitious Hokage to lead the village forward.

He had two paths before him.

Who is it?

The Third Generation Hiruzen Sarutobi?

still is……

Kakashi revealed a sneer beneath the cat-face mask.

The outcome was already predetermined.

“Brother Naruto, I know you’ve always blamed me for not taking good care of Naruto during the years you were missing.”

"Then this time, I'll make it up to you!"
