Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 30 Rice Fire: Hiruzen Sarutobi, you son of a bitch!

After Tobirama Senju was laid to rest, the election of the Third Hokage was immediately put on the agenda. The Uchiha and Hyuga clans joined forces to invite all the major clans of Konoha to a meeting to discuss the matter.

The Senju clan also received an invitation. They had no choice but to attend this meeting. If they dared not to come, Uchiha Nan would have announced the successor to the Third Hokage of Konoha the very next day, and it would have been approved unanimously.

In the conference room, the patriarchs of all the families attended the meeting on time, some accompanied by several high-ranking members of their families. Before long, the conference room was full of people.

"Now that the Second Hokage has passed away, Konoha cannot be without a leader. It is time to elect the Third Hokage to lead Konoha on its future."

After Takuma Hinata finished speaking, all eyes turned to Mito Uzumaki.

Before Tobirama died, he had already chosen a candidate for the Third Hokage of Konoha.

After Mito Uzumaki finished speaking, no one present showed any surprise. The news had already spread throughout Konoha by Uchiha Nan.

"That person is Hiruzen Sarutobi."

The meeting room fell silent. The clan leaders had always treated the news of passing the throne to Hiruzen Sarutobi as a joke, and no one took it seriously.

Unexpectedly, Mito Uzumaki actually said it in the meeting room. It would be more accurate to say that she passed the position to Momoma Senju. Whether it's true or not, at least most people agree that Momoma Senju is qualified to become Hokage.

As for Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Stop kidding me!

"Lord Mito, isn't Hiruzen Sarutobi unsuitable? Is he capable of becoming the Hokage of Konoha?"

Hinata Takuma frowned as he expressed his opinion, his tone relatively tactful, not wanting to embarrass Uzumaki Mito in public.

"I agree with the Hyuga clan head's opinion!"

"I agree!"

"."

Takuma Hinata's words instantly resonated with many, and voices of opposition arose, creating a one-sided situation.

"Quiet down, quiet down!"

Mito Uzumaki frowned, stopping the argument in the conference room, and then spoke calmly:

"No matter what, this is the Third Hokage chosen by Tobirama. Why not let Hiruzen Sarutobi step forward and at least give him a chance to speak?"

Mito Uzumaki gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a subtle look, as if to say, "The stage has been set up for you; it's time for you to step up and perform."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat down next to Sasuke Sarutobi, his eyes lighting up. It was time to show off!

Hiruzen Sarutobi had already rehearsed this scenario countless times in his mind, and had long since prepared the outline in his head.

Lately, he has been thinking about the future of Konoha, how he would restore Konoha's strength if he became Hokage, and how he would balance the relationships between the ninja villages.

Of course, the most important thing is the Will of Fire of Konoha. Where the leaves dance, the fire will never die!

This is the Will of Fire that he gleaned from Tobirama Senju's self-sacrificing act.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was determined to turn the tide with a speech that embodied the Will of Fire, hoping to persuade everyone present to give him a chance.

Now is the time to turn the tide!

Hiruzen Sarutobi mentally rallied himself and walked step by step to the center of the conference room, preparing to deliver his speech.

"Gentlemen, the future of Konoha."

"."

Hiruzen Sarutobi delivered a passionate speech on stage.

However, Uchiha Nan had no time to listen to Hiruzen Sarutobi's grand theories. Every clan leader present was very pragmatic. They would just listen to the Will of Fire and leave it at that, but they didn't actually treat it like a treasure.

Uchiha Nan gave Uchiha Inahi, who was sitting next to her, a look.

Daohuo, it's time to put your past skills of arguing with me to good use!

"Cheer up! Don't embarrass yourself!"

"You've been through thick and thin!"

Uchiha Nan encouraged Uchiha Inahi, and Uchiha Inahi gave Uchiha Nan a reassuring look.

That's nothing but Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Still dare to spout nonsense here?

Blanch!

"Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

"Fuck your mother!"

"You're just a piece of trash from a small family, a deserter from the battlefield, what gives you the right to spout nonsense here?!"

"Didn't you want to become Hokage?"

"I'm telling you, no way!!"

Uchiha Inahime jumped out, walked up to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and started attacking him with her mouth, catching Hiruzen Sarutobi off guard.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Uchiha Nan burst into laughter, a laugh that was utterly unrestrained. "Uchiha Inahashi, you really are a genius."

I'll reward you with two pounds of sweet potato liquor later.

That's a really good imitation! I could teach it so easily.

Uchiha Nan's arrogant laughter echoed throughout the entire venue, and the heads of various clans began to laugh along with him.

No one would listen to what Hiruzen Sarutobi was saying; he was just giving Mito Uzumaki face.

Everyone present knew the truth: currently, the only ones in Konoha with a chance of becoming Hokage are the Senju and Uchiha clans.

Everyone was waiting for the Uchiha to make their stance clear, and now that the Uchiha's attitude was so obvious, everyone no longer needed to pretend and could laugh to their hearts' content.

What right does Hiruzen Sarutobi have to talk about the future of Konoha!

The sounds of ridicule and mockery rose and fell, making Hiruzen Sarutobi blush red and momentarily at a loss. It was the first time he had ever lost face in front of so many people.

Not to mention that everyone present was a clan leader of the Leaf Village, and each of them was of a higher status than him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground. He glared at Inahi Uchiha with hatred in his eyes. If looks could kill, Inahi would have been torn to pieces long ago.

As expected of the Uchiha, who were born evil!

The teacher is absolutely right. Such an evil family should not exist in Konoha!

Hiruzen Sarutobi vowed in his heart that he would teach the Uchiha a lesson in the future.

Mito Uzumaki frowned, utterly disappointed in Hiruzen Sarutobi. Could he not even withstand this little bit of difficulty?

The Uchiha haven't even used their full power yet!

"I, the head of the Uchiha clan, have always considered it my duty to protect Konoha, and I believe I am more suited to the position of Third Hokage!"

"However, since Tobirama appointed you as the Third Hokage of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi must have some extraordinary abilities!"

"I can give you a chance. Defeat me, and I can represent the Uchiha clan to acknowledge you as the Third Hokage!"

Uchiha Nan stood up, directly revealing his ambition.

The laughter in the meeting room stopped abruptly. The main character had finally appeared, and the grand drama of vying for the Third Hokage had begun.

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to look at Mito Uzumaki, hoping she would come to his rescue. Mito had personally said she would take care of dealing with the Uchiha.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi was destined to be disappointed; in Mito Uzumaki's mind, he was now just a pawn to test Nanami Uchiha's strength.

Mito Uzumaki didn't even look at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and coldly said:

"Hiruzen, say yes!"

"To become Hokage, you must have the corresponding strength!"
