His eyes turned cold.

It seems they've made up their minds!

Chapter 84: Please, Third Hokage, abdicate! (Seeking first submissions)

The next day.

The Hokage Building was as quiet as ever.

Some parts were even too quiet.

Hiruzen Sarutobi dragged his weary body step by step toward the Hokage's office.

These past few days have been the most tiring time for him, not because of the busyness of official duties, but because of the mental pressure he is facing.

A resounding victory against the Hidden Cloud Village.

Namikaze Mirai's reputation in the village has risen to a whole new level.

Walking through Konoha, one can see villagers discussing him enthusiastically everywhere.

If he has the same temperament as Minato, it wouldn't be a bad idea to make him Hokage.

But he not only cruelly killed his close friend Danzo, but also gathered the entire Uchiha clan together!

How could he feel at ease?

"We must find a way to curb Namikaze's future power. Fortunately, becoming Hokage requires more than half of the ninja votes, and he is unlikely to get that many votes."

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's tense mind gradually relaxed.

relieved.

The Hokage position is not easily won.

His forces, including the Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, are enough to block Namikaze Mirai from the votes.

The situation isn't that bad yet.

Just as he pushed open the door to the Hokage's office, the scene before him struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving him frozen in place with his pupils trembling violently!

The Hokage Room was empty before he left last night.

The place is now filled with ninjas!

All eyes were on him, as if they were waiting for his arrival.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze trembled slightly as he swept over the ninjas in the Hokage's room.

The people waiting here were mostly acquaintances of his.

He holds a high position of power in Konoha!

Uchiha clan leader Fugaku Uchiha, Hyuga clan leader Hiashi Hyuga, Aburame clan leader Shizumi Aburame, Inuzuka clan leader Tsuru Inuzuka...

He even saw some unexpected people among them.

Haiyi in the mountains, Dingzuo on the autumn road, Shikaku in Nara.

The head of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, which are subordinate to the Sarutobi clan!

"What...are you doing here...?"

Swallowing hard, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in a dry, trembling voice.

A bead of cold sweat was sliding down his forehead.

A strong sense of crisis welled up in my heart.

So many people, all high-ranking officials in Konoha who hold significant power and influence, have appeared in the Hokage's room without a sound!

Why didn't he receive any news?

What about the Anbu stationed outside the Hokage Building?

Damn!

What happened!

“The Third Generation.” Yamanaka Inoichi, standing at the front of the group, took a breath.

He stared at him with a solemn and earnest gaze.

"It's time to step down."

As the representative of the three clans of Ino-Shika-Cho, his being the first to speak carries a completely different meaning!

"Haiyi! You..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi trembled, his face turning deathly pale in an instant.

Yamanaka Inoichi is the head of the Yamanaka clan, and the Ino-Shika-Cho clan has been an appendage of the Sarutobi clan since the village was founded.

Now, they actually said such outrageous things in public!

"Third Hokage, please abdicate!"

The second person to speak was Akimichi Choza, the head of the Akimichi clan.

His expression was solemn.

"Third Hokage, please abdicate!"

The chief of the Oil Women clan, Oil Women Zhiwei, followed closely behind.

"Third Hokage, please abdicate!!"

Next was the head of the Inuzuka clan.

The powerful voice echoed in the Hokage's room, and each word made Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turn even paler and his body tremble.

He originally thought that the only ninja clan that would choose to support Namikaze's future was the Uchiha clan.

But now, Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan, hasn't even spoken.

The mere presence of the other people had already left him drenched in sweat and trembling.

When did Namikaze Mirai gather so many forces?

"Anbu! Where is Anbu?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly seemed to remember something, his expression changed, and he shouted to his surroundings.

In the past, even a slight cough from him would be enough to save him.

The Anbu stationed outside the Hokage Building would appear instantly to help him solve his problems.

But this time.

No matter how much he shouted, not a single member of the secret service appeared.

"Lord Hokage, there's no need to call anymore. No Anbu will appear."

Amidst Hiruzen Sarutobi's shocked and incredulous expression, a white-haired ANBU member wearing a cat-face mask stepped out from behind the crowd.

"Kakashi?!"

"Why are you alone?"

The Anbu stationed outside the Hokage Building should be at least a small Anbu squad, so why is Kakashi the only one present?

Kakashi chuckled, as if he were recalling something.

"The Anbu stationed outside the Hokage Building are all people who can recognize the situation."

"Even though there are a few loyal to you, they are rather weak. It didn't take much effort to deal with them!"

These words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing Hiruzen Sarutobi to tremble and take a step back, his body leaning against the cold wall.

"Kakashi, you killed your own colleague?"

"Lord Hokage, I must correct you."

Kakashi's eyes were smiling, but there was a hint of coldness in them.

"It's about getting rid of a few idiots who can't keep up with the times."

The air in the Hokage's room instantly froze.

Everything clicked.

He had not received any intelligence that these high-ranking officials could appear in the Hokage's room so easily.

Because a traitor has appeared in the secret service.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were ashen, like a withered, rotten piece of wood leaning against the wall.

In his gloomy gaze, a blond figure slowly walked over, looking down at him from above.

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head and met that gaze.

His deep blue eyes, like those of a god, were devoid of any emotion.

"Third Generation Leader, shall we set the day after tomorrow for my succession ceremony as the Fifth Generation?"

"What do you think?"
