I, the stepfather of the ninja world!

Is Uchiha crazy?!

Orochimaru was secretly annoyed.

Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Chozo also found it unreasonable and frowned.

Nara Shikaku stroked his beard, somewhat suspicious that the Uchiha was making a fuss because the Uchiha clan had never produced a Hokage, and was expressing his mockery of the position of Hokage in a joking way.

At the same time, Hyuga Hiashi raised his hand and said seriously: "On behalf of the Hyuga clan, I nominate Kimurano as the fifth Hokage!"

When these words were spoken, Orochimaru, Ino-Shika-Cho and the three clan leaders were shocked.

The Hyuga clan has always been the one that understands current affairs the most and knows how to handle affairs of the time the best, so why are they nominating Kimura today?

Even though that child did a good job in Uchiha affairs and was highly regarded by the Fourth Hokage, this does not seem to be enough to become Hokage, right?

The four people who had just returned from the border could not understand the strange phenomenon of today's meeting.

Immediately afterwards, all the participants raised their hands to speak, and without exception, they nominated Kimura as the fifth Hokage.

Orochimaru felt something was very wrong and suspected that he was under an illusion, so he decisively summoned a poisonous snake to bite him.

The back of my hand quickly turned blue and a pain spread throughout my body.

Orochimaru calmed himself down and found that nothing had changed. Everyone was still nominating Kimura as the fifth Hokage.

If it is not an illusion, then it proves that Kimura must have some extraordinary qualities that make everyone extremely convinced!

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, keenly aware that during the time he was away from the village, the weak orphanage hostage had made amazing progress!

But how can that guy's development in less than a year surpass my efforts over decades? !

Orochimaru looked deep and dissatisfied.

"I have been away from the village for more than half a year, and I don't know much about the person you nominated. Who can introduce him to me in detail?" Orochimaru tapped the table with his fingertips and asked indifferently.

Seeing his curiosity, Tsunade was pleased and proudly talked about her own disciple: "Ono is my new disciple. He is reliable, strong, and has made remarkable achievements.

A few months ago, he handled the Uchiha affairs properly; last night, he convinced people with reason and made the Samsara Eye take the initiative to save the lives of the sacrificed young ninjas and reduce the losses of the village; later, he used a very groundbreaking method to save Kushina who was stripped of the Nine-Tails! Today, he used Wood Release to appease the restless villagers and quickly stabilized the people's hearts! "

Tsunade looked proud as she spoke.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and considered secretly, weighing the advantages and disadvantages between himself and Kimura in his heart -

Kimura was Tsunade's disciple; he himself was the disciple of the Third Hokage, so the gap was not big.

Kimura's quality is reliable; his own quality is also reliable (his unreliable deeds have been buried forever), the gap is not big.

Kimura is very powerful; as one of the Three Ninjas, he is at the top level in the current ninja world; he has the advantage.

Kimura's achievements are remarkable; he has experienced two Ninja World Wars and has made outstanding achievements; he has the upper hand.

Kimura knows Wood Release; I know...

Wait, Wood Release?!

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he quickly found the key point and asked, "What is the level of Kimura's Wood Release?"

Tsunade smiled proudly: "Ono can use the tree world descent, and he can heal without seals!"

"..."

Orochimaru licked his lips and had nothing to say.

Wood Release, Unsealed Healing Technique, this is like the reincarnation of the First Hokage!

Who can compete with him?

Even if Sarutobi Sensei and Minato were to come back to life, they might not be able to become Hokage again!

But why did a hostage from an orphanage, who didn't even know basic ninjutsu, suddenly master the abilities of the first Hokage?

Could it be that someone transplanted the first Hokage's cells into him?

A better experimental subject than A?

Orochimaru's eyes flickered as he asked, "Kimura has no blood relationship with the First Hokage, so how could he master the Blood Limit of Wood Release?"

Tsunade shook her head and laughed: "According to what you said, I should have mastered Wood Release, but I haven't."

Then, he glanced at everyone in the meeting and said, "We haven't had time to share the details of last night's battle. In fact, the two enemies who attacked Kushina also mastered very powerful Wood Release! Please keep this secret and don't disclose it to others, so as not to cause unnecessary unrest."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked except Jiraiya and Kushina who already knew about it.

Wood Release has been extinct for many years, how come there are so many of them suddenly?! Could it be that the first Hokage had an extramarital affair when he went to the neutral country to hold the Five Kage Talks?

It’s no wonder that people have such outrageous thoughts; things are really a bit bizarre.

Orochimaru estimated that the enemy probably had mastered more advanced biotechnology and could produce excellent Wood Release ninjas!

Damn!

Orochimaru was annoyed in his heart: Master is too conservative. If he had allowed me to continue the human experiment, my technology would definitely be no worse than the enemy's! I would have been able to mass-produce Wood Release Ninjas long ago!

The position of Hokage was about to be lost; the biotechnology that he was so proud of was also lagging behind others. Orochimaru looked deep and felt a little gloomy.

Jiraiya tapped the table lightly and concluded his speech: "Since everyone agrees to nominate Kimura as the fifth Hokage, let's quickly draft a joint letter and submit it to the daimyo, asking him to appoint Kimura as the fifth Hokage."

Konoha is in a special period now, and it is better to establish the Hokage as soon as possible.

According to the old precedent of the handover between the Second and Third Hokage, the Hokage is appointed first, and then a letter is requested from the Daimyo to go through the process!

……

At the same time, in the basement under the ruins of the Pharmacist's Mansion.

Kimura was hugging the cold and arrogant female slave, enjoying himself happily.

[Wedge Seal Devouring Progress: 101.51%]

[Bagua Seal Anti-devouring Progress: 26.00%]

[Otsutsuki Kaguya's possession progress: 75.51%]

I have to say that the little slug is really convenient. Since they are one body and have a shared consciousness, it can help Kimura keep abreast of the military situation on the border at all times, and while enjoying himself, he does not interfere with his work at all.

Neither the toad in Myoboku Mountain nor the snake in Ryuchi Cave can do this!

Kimura freed his hand, touched the soft little slug, and praised: "You are really the best summoning beast in the ninja world! No one can compare to you!"

As he spoke, he shuddered suddenly, and then he lost interest for a while, and his mind began to become clearer than ever before.

Samui, who was lying in his arms, snorted coldly, gritted her teeth, and forced herself to maintain a cold and indifferent demeanor, but a blush inevitably appeared on her fair cheeks, as beautiful as the sunset; her slender ten fingers tightly clasped Kimura's shoulder blades, like vines clinging to a tree.

"My good ice slave~"

Kimura laughed and teased, rubbing Samui's delicate face with his stubble, and his big hands moved back and forth on her smooth back, carefully as if he wanted to measure the length of each section of her spine.

While indulging in the beauty of the slave girl, Kimura was thinking about how to refuse the position of Hokage.

At most he has less than three years to live, and that’s assuming no accidents happen!

Life is so tight that the first thing I do when I open my eyes every day is to plan my business to build bonds with the female ninjas. How can I have the mood to be Hokage?

How can he have the confidence and energy to lead the village out of the quagmire of reconstruction when he can barely save his own life?

Kimura asked himself that he could only be a wise ruler in prosperous times. As for being a powerful ruler in troubled times, he should leave it to others!

But who can surpass the prestige of Wood Release and succeed the throne as the fifth Hokage?

Kimura thought for a while but had no clue. Then he caught a glimpse of Ma Buyi standing silently beside him from the corner of his eye, and an idea flashed in his mind.

So, he stroked Samui's hair and asked, "Yinu, you are a very wise female ninja. I have a question I want to test you on."

"Master, please speak." Ma Buyi lowered his head slightly and obeyed the instructions well.

Kimura laughed and said, "If the Fourth Hokage abdicates now and I want to run for Hokage, who will be my strong competitor?"

The Fourth Hokage abdicates?

Ma Buyi found it a little unbelievable. [Yellow Flash] was only in his twenties, in the prime of life, with outstanding military achievements. He could be the Hokage for another thirty years. Why would he abdicate?

Could it be that the Fourth Hokage is suffering from an acute illness? !

Or, Kimura wants to usurp the throne by force? In that case, there will be too many competitors!

Or maybe, this question was just asked casually, mainly to test the extent of Kumogakure's understanding of Konoha's jonin group?

Volume 084: The Bond of Female Kung Fu: The Hope of Female Slaves

On the ruins on the surface, the villagers are busy working to rebuild their homes.

The basement is filled with fragrance and feels comfortable and lazy.

Kimura leaned back on the sofa, stroking Samui's crystal earlobe, which was no longer hot, with his fingertips, and waited patiently for Mabui's reply.

Mabui's eyes flickered slightly, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "Master, I think the only ones who can pose a threat to your position as Hokage are the Three Ninjas, and at most one more, Shunshin Shisui."

Kimura raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Uchiha Shisui? He's too young, he's not even an adult yet!"

Mabui: "But he is famous in the ninja world, has made great achievements in battle, and has the strong support of the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan has always longed for a Hokage position!"

Kimura shook his head and laughed, thinking that Mabui underestimated the suppressive power of Wood Release on Uchiha.

Originally, the Uchiha might have wanted to force Shisui to be the Hokage, but now, they think that it would be a very good idea for the Uchiha's son-in-law to be the Hokage!

Kimura waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about Princess Tsunade and Orochimaru."

As for Jiraiya, he developed the Rinnegan and was partly responsible for the destruction of the village. He has already been removed from the position of Hokage and there is no need to mention him again.

Ma Buyi naturally would not go against Kimura's wishes and decisively skipped Uchiha Shisui and Jiraiya.

"Tsunade and Orochimaru have similar conditions. They are powerful, have outstanding military exploits, and have great prestige. Among them, Tsunade is the granddaughter of the first Hokage, which gives her an advantage. However, she seems to have no interest in the position of Hokage and has not participated in the election for the fourth Hokage before."

"Because, I believe that Orochimaru will be the biggest threat to my master," said Ma Buyi.

"Um……"

Kimura nodded, stroking Samui's smooth neck and pondering.

Orochimaru obviously wanted the position of Hokage, but he lost to Minato before.

Now, Minato is dead.

Orochimaru is definitely ready to make a move. However, facing the prestige of Wood Release and his own poor popularity...

Kimura frowned and said, "Orochimaru probably has no hope. He seems to have no ability to fight back in front of my Wood Release."

Ma Buyi's eyes flickered slightly, she pursed her lips, bowed slightly, and said carefully: "Master, please forgive me for being frank, but the influence of your Wood Release is not as great as you think. I am afraid that I cannot convince everyone."

"Oh?"

Kimura let out a light exclamation, secretly delighted, and raised his hand to signal her to continue.

"Master's Wood Release is obviously limited, otherwise he would never have let go of the two perfect Jinchūriki in Yunlei Gorge. In other words, Master's Wood Release is far weaker than that of the First Hokage, so the prestige derived from it must be fragile and false!"

"Once the master reveals the weakness of Wood Release in the future, he will be attacked by his political enemies! Even if he ascends to the position of Hokage, his foundation will be unstable!"

Wood Release is weak?

Kimura raised his eyebrows slightly.

In the hearts of the villagers, he is the Wood Release Ninja who saved the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

With the Nine-Tails as his backdrop, no one would doubt his level of Wood Release.

Moreover, he was already very good at using the Tree World Descent. No villager would expect him to reproduce the Wood Release of the First Hokage. After all, the First Hokage was the God of Ninjas! The successor Hokage would be excellent if he could have a bit of the strength of a God!

Kimura sighed secretly, wishing the villagers would be more demanding.

I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

As Kimura hugged the cold beauty Samui, his mind gradually became confused and no longer clear.

So, he simply gave up thinking and continued to tease the slave girl, shaking her legs and making Samue swing up and down.

Ma Buyi stood aside, secretly complaining, is a ninja who is addicted to pleasure worthy of the name of Luxurious Shadow?

After an unknown amount of time, Kimura let out a long breath and his mind became clear again.

Then, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he thought of the perfect excuse to refuse the position of Hokage.

Kimurano suddenly felt happy and laughed out loud. He pulled Mabui beside him into his arms and praised, "As expected of you, Yinu. You found a good entry point for Wood Release!"
