When you are in Naruto, the era of live streaming for all has begun!

[Minato Namikaze: Actually, I didn't do anything special. After I was moved to tears, the Third Hokage just handed over the position of Fourth Hokage to me!]

[Tobirama Senju: Damn~ Is this really that hasty?]

Minato Namikaze: It wasn't exactly hasty, after all, during the Third Shinobi World War, my name, the Yellow Flash, was already renowned throughout the ninja world.

No matter which ninja village they're from, they'll all give me some respect when they see me!

[Tobirama Senju: Favor? What favor? Do you think enemy ninjas would do anything for you out of respect?]

[Minato Namikaze: That's roughly the gist of it. Anyway, I heard them say that if they encountered me during a mission, they could abandon the mission and wouldn't be punished afterward!]

[Tobirama Senju: Holy crap~ Those ninja villages are such cowards! They actually dared to offer such spineless conditions!]

[The Third Raikage: Ahem~ Back then, I only did it to prevent too many ninja from being sacrificed in the village!]

[Tobirama Senju: Tch~ Trash is trash. Now I finally understand why ninjas in later generations have become increasingly useless.]

Uchiha Izuna: Yes, back when we went to the battlefield, we only had one order: no matter who the enemy was, we had to fight to the death.

If any ninja deserts during the battle, they will not only still die upon returning, but their bodies will also be hung on the gate tower to be exposed to the sun for days and nights!

[The Third Raikage: Holy crap, were battlefields during the Warring States period really this brutal?]

[Tobirama Senju: What do you think? If every ninja were as complacent as you are, how could they unleash their potential in dire situations?]

After all, only through growth accompanied by death can you be truly transformed, right?

[The Third Raikage: That's the logic, but it's just too cruel!]

[Yagura Karatachi: The Terrible Sengoku Period!]

Hyuga Hizashi: Yeah, that's terrifying!

"As long as there are green leaves, the fire will burn brightly and its light will illuminate the entire village!"

"And you are the green leaves of the village. I hope you can pass on this will of fire and pass it on to your descendants!"

After saying his last words with mixed feelings, Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his long pipe and took two puffs.

Then he looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "Jiang Cheng, do you understand what I mean?"

"I don't quite understand! Haha~"

Jiang Cheng yawned and blurted out, "Lord Hokage, are you finished with your speech? If you are, I'll be leaving now..."

"You...what did you say?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi twitched the corner of his mouth.

He could hardly believe his ears.

I've been explaining this to myself for so long, my mouth is practically dry.

It turned out that people mistook it for a speech!

If I hadn't taken a couple of extra puffs of cigarettes today, I would be incredibly energetic!

He even began to wonder if he was experiencing early-onset dementia and was hallucinating!

"Ahem~ I mean, I understand what the Hokage means. If there's nothing else, I'll go back and prepare for the Chunin Exams!"

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's utterly dejected expression, Jiang Cheng immediately offered an explanation.

He didn't want to clash with this cunning old man right now.

"Now that you understand, why don't you go and prepare for the Chunin Exams?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, indicating that Jiang Cheng should go back first.

however.

Just as Jiang Cheng was about to turn and leave.

But he still managed to say the last sentence he hadn't finished speaking:

"Jiang Cheng, if you inherit this Fire Consciousness, I can promise you the position of the Fifth Hokage..."

.......

Chapter 025 Puppet Hokage, Minato Namikaze! (Begging for full subscription)

Seeing how easily Hiruzen Sarutobi gave up the position of Fifth Hokage.

The Konoha ninjas in the live stream immediately went wild.

[Tobirama Senju: Holy crap~ Is this monkey getting more and more confused as he gets older? He just casually promised the Hokage position with a few words?]

[Uchiha Shisui: Jiang Cheng is quite strong, but he's too young. If he were to succeed as the Fifth Hokage, the clans in the village would definitely not be convinced!]

Hyuga Hizashi: I'm the first to disagree!

【Crimson Yuhi: I disagree!】

[Uchiha Madara: Damn it, why do I suddenly feel like the Hokage position is just like a stall in a vegetable market, something that can be easily obtained with a little effort?]

I was actually somewhat interested in that position back then; what a blunder!

[Tobirama Senju: You're just jealous! You didn't even become Hokage for a single day!]

Madara Uchiha: ...

[Uchiha Fugaku: It's really strange that the Third Hokage promised the position of Fifth Hokage so hastily.]

It's worth noting that Minato was able to become the Fourth Hokage in his early twenties because of his outstanding contributions to the village during the Third Shinobi World War.

But what about Jiang? A kid who just graduated, barely ten years old, how could he possibly be qualified for the Hokage position? It's utter nonsense!

Jiang Cheng: "Tch~ It's not like I'm particularly interested in the Hokage position. Sorry, I really have absolutely no interest in the Hokage position!"

[Tobirama Senju: You're just bragging. The Five Kage of the ninja world are renowned and powerful. Any ninja who can become a Kage will be recorded in history, revered by future generations, and remembered for eternity. Don't you think that's tempting?]

Jiang Cheng: "That depends on the situation, okay? Ask Minato, when did he ever wield any power after becoming the Fourth Hokage?"

[Tobirama Senju: What do you mean by that?]

Jiang Cheng: "There are some things that it's better for Shui Men to tell you himself, so you won't accuse me of talking nonsense!"

[Tobirama Senju: Fourth Hokage, what exactly does that kid Jiang mean by what he said? Come out and explain it to me.]

[Minato Namikaze: Sigh~ Jiang Cheng is right, after I became Hokage, I really didn't wield much power!]

[Tobirama Senju: How is that possible? You're the Fourth Hokage! All the village's affairs, big and small, require your approval before they can be carried out. How can you not be in charge?]

Minato Namikaze: To my shame, although I became the Fourth Hokage back then, I could only make decisions on some trivial matters.

Everything else requires the approval of the three generations of the family before it can be decided!

[Tobirama Senju: Letting the former Hokage, who has already retired to the background, make the decision? What kind of move is this?]

[Minato Namikaze: I didn't want to either, but back then the power in the village was indeed in the hands of the third generation. I was just the Hokage in name only!]

Putting aside other things, the last time I wanted to place Kakashi in Konoha's Anbu, it only got approved after going through the Third Hokage!

Hearing this, Tobirama Senju was even more bewildered.

The current Hokage wants to recruit a ninja into his direct ANBU!

Why would you actually ask a former Hokage who has already retired from public life?

What the hell are these rules?

[Tobirama Senju: Fourth Hokage, isn't the Anbu the direct subordinate unit of the current Hokage? How come it suddenly changed after it came under your command?]

Minato Namikaze: Sigh~ You can't blame me for this! At that time, I only had acting command of the Konoha Anbu; the real power was still in the hands of the Third Hokage.

Even the intelligence gathered by the ANBU ninjas was only communicated to me after the Third Hokage was informed!

[Uchiha Fugaku: I suddenly feel like you're a pretty pathetic Hokage!]

Uchiha Izuna: Yeah, it feels like he's a puppet of the Third Hokage.

They not only lack real power, but they also have absolutely no freedom!

[Kondo Mune: To be a Kage like you is truly pathetic!]

[The Third Raikage: I never imagined that the Yellow Flash, who once struck fear into the ninja world, would become someone else's puppet after becoming Hokage. How pathetic!]

[Yagura Karatachi: Yeah, you're actually doing worse than me!]

[Loquat Juzo: Wake up! The Fourth Hokage may not have held the real power of a Kage, but at least he was acting on his own initiative.]

But what about you? You're not even sure if the child your wife gave birth to is yours!

[Karagi Yagura: Holy crap~ Are you looking for trouble? Every time I say something, you come back at me.]

I finally found someone to roast, and you fucking pop up and ruin my plans again?

[Loquat Juzo: I'm just stating a fact. After all, in my heart, you're the most tragic Kage in history, bar none!]

[Yagura Karatachi: ...]

[Tobirama Senju: You two shut up first, Jiang kid. Are you saying that Monkey is playing power games behind the scenes?]

Jiang Cheng: "That's right. If I'm not mistaken, he probably wants to train me into a puppet Hokage like Minato, someone who will obey him completely and be willing to sacrifice himself for the village if necessary!"

Minato Namikaze: ...

[Tobirama Senju: Damn it, that bastard monkey dared to desecrate the consciousness of fire and disrespect the Hokage. He's infuriating me.]

If I could, I'd love to kill him with my own hands!

Jiang Cheng: "Don't worry, you'll have your chance!"

[Tobirama Senju: ???]

"Thank you for your kindness, Hokage-sama, but I feel that I am still too young and need more training. Becoming Hokage is still too early for me!"

After politely declining Hiruzen Sarutobi's offer, Jiang Cheng left the Hokage Building directly.

"Can't even the position of Shadow tempt him?"

Looking in the direction Jiang Cheng had left, a murderous intent suddenly flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

"It seems Danzo was right. Keeping this kid around is indeed an unstable factor for the village!"

……

Konoha Village.

Suburbs.

Naruto Uzumaki was still scratching the tree bark with his fingers, sweating profusely.

The repetitive, monotonous actions were dull and boring.

And it was also very tiring.

Several times, he wanted to give up.

but.

In order to make a big splash during the Chunin Exams.

He gritted his teeth and persevered.

this moment.

In order to show off, Naruto Uzumaki actually displayed unprecedented perseverance!

If Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki could see this scene.

They will definitely feel very gratified.

But unfortunately.

The one left here to spar with is just a shadow clone of Jiang Cheng.

His true form had already left the Hokage Building.

I went home and took a long nap!

……

Naruto Uzumaki trained until sunset before stopping.

Looking at the tree bark that he had scratched, he ran triumphantly to Jiang Cheng.
