The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

"Well, I plan to recommend Minato to compete with Orochimaru for the position of the Fourth Hokage. As for who will succeed in the end, it depends on the choices of everyone in the village." The Third Hokage said after a sigh.

"As for Minato, he is indeed a good choice, but he is still too young. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to let him run for election so early? As for the position of the Fifth Hokage, Minato has a great chance of winning the election." Mizuto Menen said after thinking for a while.

"I agree with Hiruzen on this point. Minato is Jiraiya's disciple, and his current prestige is not much worse than Orochimaru. On the contrary, it will be more dynamic if a younger Hokage takes the position." Utatane Koharu also expressed her opinion.

No matter who the three were, none of them had ever considered Danzo as an option.

For them, it would undoubtedly be absolutely inappropriate to choose someone of the same generation as them to become the next Hokage.

There are so many candidates for the Fourth Hokage now, and no matter who it is, it will definitely not be Danzo.

Maybe Danzo himself was the only one who didn't understand all this.

There is a saying that goes "Those involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see more clearly."

Danzo is now an authority!

Chapter 250 Cloud surge

"You, you guys!" Faced with his friends talking to each other but no one mentioning himself at all, Danzo suddenly became a little angry.

The reason why he stabbed Orochimaru in the back was not for this result.

"Danzo, you don't have to say anything. I know what you are thinking. However, I still advise you to give up the idea. There is no way I would propose that you become the next Hokage." As soon as the Third Hokage saw Danzo's look, he knew what he was thinking.

Therefore, he ruthlessly blocked Danzo's words as they were about to open.

"What? Danzo, you want to run for the position of the Fourth Hokage? Absolutely impossible, you are not suitable to be the next Hokage." Hearing what the Third Hokage said, Mito Kado En was also shocked, and expressed his opinion without hesitation, which was to refuse.

"Danzo, we are all of this age, we are old, why are you still joining in the fun? Now is the era of young people, our era is over." Although Utatane Koharu's words were very tactful, the meaning was the same.

Seeing that his three friends jointly rejected his bid for the position of the Fourth Hokage, Danzo's face became even gloomier.

"Hmph, who said our time is over? That was you, not me! How can the young people make Konoha stronger without us to control the direction!" Danzo's tone revealed boundless ambition and anger.

He didn't think he was old, especially after transplanting this arm and the Sharingan, he felt that he was in surprisingly good condition!

"Forget it, Danzo. No matter what you say, we will not agree to it, and neither will the people in the village." Looking at the slightly crazy Danzo, the Third Hokage said with a serious expression.

"You will regret your choice one day!" After looking at his three friends again, Danzo subconsciously tightened his cane in his hand, then turned around and left.

It was not until Danzo's figure disappeared in the Hokage's office that the three Third Hokage could not help but look at each other and sighed at the same time.

The tone of this discussion in the Hokage's office was that, on the basis of the original nomination of Orochimaru as the candidate for the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato was also put forward, allowing the two of them to compete for the position of the Fourth Hokage.

As for who will win in the end, that's up to fate. They won't interfere too much in the election.

Because both of them belong to the Hokage faction, they are considered to be family members, so the competition within the faction should be fair and open, and there is no need to resort to tricks.

The news that Minato Namikaze became a candidate for the Fourth Hokage and would compete with Orochimaru for the next Hokage also spread quickly.

There is a lot of discussion in the village now, and the topic of discussion is who should be supported as the next Hokage.

If we say that before Orochimaru's human experiments broke out, many people actually were more optimistic about Orochimaru.

But after this incident broke out, Orochimaru's support rate plummeted.

On the contrary, Minato Namikaze once again made a huge contribution in the battle with Iwagakure. Now his prestige and support rate in the village have surpassed Orochimaru!

The Third Hokage has now ordered Minato Namikaze to return to Konoha as soon as possible. As for the negotiations, they have been handed over to Nara Shikaku.

Now, all they have to do is wait for Minato Namikaze to return to Konoha, and the Third Hokage will ask the village's jonin to hold a vote of confidence.

Between Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze, whoever can get more votes of trust from the jonin will officially become the fourth generation Hokage in Konoha's history in early 48 years of Konoha!

"Orochimaru really failed. He still didn't take my warning seriously, and ended up being stabbed in the back by Danzo. Alas." As Cangsi walked on the streets of Konoha, listening to the discussions of the villagers around him, he couldn't help but sigh and whispered to himself.

The atmosphere in the village is now very lively because the war has temporarily stopped and Konoha is also preparing for a change of regime.

It can be said that the Third Ninja World War is coming to an end.

After feeling the atmosphere of the village, Cang Si went straight home.

Now that the battle of Kammubi Bridge is over, next, Cang Si has a few things to arrange and do.

The reason why Cang Si didn't stay in the Snow Country recently was that he was afraid that the distance was too far and he would miss the timeline of those events.

Soon, in the expectation of most people in the village, Namikaze Minato returned to Konoha with the momentum of defeating the Iwagakure Village, and he was accompanied by Uchiha En and others.

And what follows is the most exciting moment.

On the third day after Minato's return, the village began a vote of confidence between Orochimaru and Minato for the position of the Fourth Hokage!

Souji also went there that day. After all, he was a legitimate Konoha jonin, without any water in the slightest.

Of course, although Souji and Orochimaru have a teacher-student and friend relationship, he still cast his vote for Minato without hesitation.

The result came out soon after. Minato gained the trust of most of the village's jonin with a huge advantage and achieved the final victory.

Although Orochimaru's supporters were very unhappy, they had to accept this result.

After all, it is open and fair, with no trace of cheating at all.

It was in this final vote of confidence among the jonin that Orochimaru lost to Minato and missed the chance to become the fourth Hokage.

Orochimaru himself was quite open-minded and did not make any extra comments about it. He just congratulated Minato at the end.

From that day on, Orochimaru rarely showed up in public in the village and instead devoted himself to research.

Moreover, after missing out on the position of the Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru became even more unscrupulous in his research on the human body.

Originally, Danzo helped him capture people in the village for experiments, but now he is secretly doing it himself.

"Konoha, it seems there is nothing left worth my staying in. It's time to find an opportunity to leave." Orochimaru, who had just finished a human experiment and whose face was covered in blood, said with emotion.

For Orochimaru, he didn't care about the position of Hokage, but he felt a little uncomfortable if the Third Hokage and Konoha didn't give it to him.

Although he lost to Watergate in the final election, he was still convinced by Watergate in his heart.

But this doesn't mean he feels comfortable!

After running Konoha for so many years, Orochimaru finally lost to his own juniors. This was something Orochimaru never expected at the beginning.

Danzo's backstabbing was only one aspect. Minato's growth was indeed a little beyond Orochimaru's expectations.

The little guy whom he wanted to take as his disciple has now surpassed him in all aspects. Orochimaru feels very complicated.

Now Orochimaru's last bit of attachment to Konoha has disappeared, and he is ready to defect from Konoha at any time.

Orochimaru also thought about whether he would still make the choice to defect if he eventually inherited the position of the Fourth Hokage.

The answer turned out to be that he himself didn't know.

"Let's leave after we finish dealing with the last bit of stuff in the village." Thinking of this, Orochimaru began to speed up his research progress.

On the other hand, although Minato Namikaze has defeated Orochimaru in the vote of trust among the Jonin, it will take some time before he can truly become the Fourth Hokage.

The succession ceremony of the Fourth Hokage was held on January 48st of the th year of Konoha.

The current time is September of the 47th year of Konoha, and there are still three months before Minato officially becomes the Fourth Hokage.

"Cheers!n"

At Minato and Kushina's home, today the final result of the Jonin confidence vote has come out, and Minato has become the only heir to the next generation of Hokage.

Minato and Kushina also invited all their good friends to their home to celebrate.

"Hahaha, Minato, as expected, the position of the fourth Hokage will eventually be yours." Uchiha En, who was already a little drunk, said excitedly.

Thinking of Orochimaru's high popularity a while ago, even Uchiha En, who was still on the front line at the time, was afraid that the future intelligence obtained in Loulan was false.

Fortunately, Minato won in the end.

"It's just luck and the trust of everyone in the village," Minato said with a shy smile.

Your dreams can come true

Now, Minato was indeed very happy, but this also meant that that thing was about to happen.

And he still doesn't know the true identity of the mastermind behind this.

What Minato didn't know was that the so-called mastermind behind the scenes was only born not long ago and hadn't even opened his kaleidoscope yet.

"Huh? Kakashi, why are you so depressed?" Noticing Kakashi looking lonely, Cang Si walked over, stroked his white hair and asked.

Not only Kakashi, but even Nohara Rin beside him was out of tune with the joyful atmosphere at the scene.

With the return of Minato, his disciples, Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara, also came back.

Also brought back was the news of Uchiha Obito's sacrifice.

As Obito gave his two-magatama Sharingan to Kakashi before his "death", many people in the Uchiha clan wanted to take it back.

They cannot allow anyone outside the Uchiha clan to obtain the Sharingan.

But this proposal was ultimately rejected by Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader.

The reason is very simple. Uchiha Obito has now sacrificed himself as a hero of Konoha. It is his last wish to give the Sharingan to his best friend Kakashi.

Uchiha Fugaku believed that they should respect the choice of the war hero.

In addition, Kakashi is the disciple of the future Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze. If they want to get the Sharingan back, they will have a hard time getting past Minato first.

What's more, on several battlefields of the Third Ninja World War, Minato Namikaze also took good care of the members of the Uchiha clan.

Otherwise, the Uchiha clan's losses in the Third Ninja World War would be even more severe than it is now.

It is no exaggeration to say that Minato is indebted to the Uchiha clan.

Therefore, now in the Uchiha clan, many Uchiha members have a great liking for Minato.

Even if all these are excluded from the discussion, even if we talk about relationships, their Uchiha clan is now on a united front with Minato.

Minato's wife Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Fugaku's wife Uchiha Mikoto are best friends.

Minato is also teammates with Uchiha En.

Even Uchiha Fugaku himself has a good relationship with Minato. ..

In the face of this complex relationship, all the members of the Uchiha clan finally agreed not to pursue the matter of Kakashi's Sharingan.

This is considered to be a tacit acknowledgement that Kakashi, as an outsider, has ownership of the Sharingan.

But for Kakashi himself, he was not happy about obtaining this pair of Sharingan.

Because this was what he gained in exchange for losing a close friend. If possible, he would rather not have this Sharingan and want Uchiha Obito to come back.

"Senior Souji, I now understand why my father chose to give up the mission in order to save his companions." Kakashi did not stop Souji from making funny moves with his hands on his head, but raised his head and said with a bitter smile.

"Kakashi..." Nohara Lin called Kakashi's name softly from the side.

Hearing Kakashi say this, Cang Si froze for a moment.

"This is the price of growing up." Cang Si couldn't help but say softly.

But he didn't regret not intervening in the matter, because Obito had never been Soji's target.

For Cangsi, what he wanted was to use Obito, or even Nohara Rin, to lure out Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu behind the scenes!

Chapter 251: My Uncle is Such a Badass

"Senior Cang Si, what did you say?" Because Cang Si's voice was a little soft, Kakashi didn't hear clearly what Cang Si said.

"Ah, nothing. Can you tell me why your father did that?" After coming back to his senses, Cang Si asked with a smile.

Thinking back to what Obito had said to him seriously not long ago, Kakashi felt mixed emotions.

“Although in the ninja world, people who break the rules are called trash, but people who don’t value their companions are even worse than trash.

Since they are all trash, I will choose to break the rules. If someone says that person is not a ninja, then I will beat up those so-called ninjas!"

Kakashi said with a firm look on his face.

Although Kakashi couldn't fully understand what Obito said at that time.

But now, Kakashi understood.

He understood his father and understood Obito's choice.

"Haha, if Senior Sakumo knew about this, I think he would be very happy." Cang Si said with a look of relief.

"I'm sorry, Senior Soji, I've ruined the mood of the teacher and seniors because of me." Thinking that this was a party to celebrate his teacher becoming the Fourth Hokage, Kakashi felt very embarrassed for the sadness he showed.

"There's nothing to apologize for. It's just human nature that the scene brings back sad memories. Well, the dead can't be resurrected, so you should live well on behalf of Obito." Soji was not prepared to tell Kakashi that Obito was not dead yet.
