I just want to be lazy, I was forced to become Hokage

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood next to the window of the Hokage's office, quietly staring at the Hokage Yanyan not far away.

He didn't need Nara Shikaku to send him "good news" unsolicited.

Just because he has the [telescope technique].

The process and final result of the jounin class voting session in the hall below are all under the control of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He knew very well that Nara Rengui not only won the most votes in the Jonin voting, but his vote count was a huge lead compared to other candidates.

'The first generation, the second generation...'

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the statues of faces of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, sighing in his heart.

'It seems that the position of the Fourth Hokage will be handed over to the Nara clan...'

Boom!

There was a knock on the door to the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen came to his senses, turned around and spoke.

"Come in, Shikaku."

Nara Shikaku entered the Hokage's office with a brisk pace, carrying a noteboard, and his joy was beyond words.

"Sandaime-sama, this is the noteboard for this Jonin Class voting. Please take a look at it."

Nara Shikaku sent the noteboard to Sarutobi Hiruzen, while quietly observing the changes in the Third Hokage's expression.

As the leader of the jounin class and the former head of the Nara clan, Nara Shikaku knew very well that the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and them were not of the same mind when it came to the selection of the fourth generation.

In a sense, Nara Langui won the final victory in this Jonin voting session, which can be regarded as Ino Shiga Die's status challenge to the Hokage line.

Even if there is Tsunade-hime among the supporters of Nara Langui!

The issue that Nara Shikaku is most worried about now is that the Third Hokage is stubborn and insists on letting Namikaze Minato take over, and forcibly ignores the results of this jounin class voting session.

With the strength and prestige that Sarutobi Hiruzen has built up in the Leaf Village for many years, it is not completely impossible to achieve this.

Although Namikaze Minato failed to obtain the most votes in this jounin class voting session.

But his supporters are not small in number.

Namikaze Minato is just inferior to Nara Langui.

Compared with the other contestants, Namikaze Minato's advantage is also a sharp lead!

Will the Third Hokage, who has always been kind-hearted and approachable, choose to act arbitrarily at this time?

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's calm expression, Nara Shikaku was a little undecided for a moment.

"Put the noteboard here, Shikaku, I already know the result."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and said calmly.

"Since your clan leader won the most votes in this jounin class voting session, it means that the vast majority of jounin in the village are willing to accept the leadership of such a new Hokage.

"If that's the case, then let's draw up the documents and send them to Kyoto!"

Konoha drafted documents and sent them to Kyoto. The purpose was to let the Fire Country daimyo know that Konoha had elected a new generation of Hokage.

At the same time, it was also for the Daimyo of the Fire Country to issue a letter of appointment to Nara Langui, to show that the Fire Country officially recognized Konoha's new Hokage.

This is one of the necessary steps for the new Hokage to be in place.

As for the Daimyo of the Fire Country, he was dictating the choice of Konoha's Hokage, and even forcibly arranged a new candidate...

This kind of thing is basically impossible to happen.

If the contemporary Fire Nation daimyo does not agree with Konoha's new Hokage.

Then just change it to a new name.

For ninjas, this is not a problem.

‘Looking at the Third Generation’s intention, he will not continue to interfere in the selection of the Fourth Generation? ’

When Nara Shikaku lowered his head and responded, a thought flashed through his mind.

In fact.

Nara Shikaku's idea is absolutely right.

Sarutobi Hiruzen really had no intention of interfering with Nara taking the honors and ascending to the throne of Hokage.

What is he planning?

Perhaps because of Shimura Danzo, or perhaps because of some other things, there was indeed some discord between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Nara Langui.

But the relationship between the two is not so bad that they are hostile to each other!

Sarutobi Hiruzen resigned not because his physical condition was so bad that he was unable to do his job as Hokage.

It's just because Sarutobi Hiruzen hopes that the village can choose a new leader who is strong enough and good enough to lead the village to continue to grow.

There are many ninjas in Konoha who have the ability to become Kage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen just chose Namikaze Minato, his favorite and most optimistic among this group of ninjas.

Nara took Gui and became the fourth generation.

This is certainly not in line with Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan and expectations.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen would not interfere in the Hokage election because of the discord between the two, or even prevent Nara from taking the throne.

Not to mention the negative impact that the third Hokage would have on the village and outside the village by forcibly denying the fourth generation elected by the Jonin class and instead forcibly appointing a new person he recognized.

Just say a little.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen really did this.

How will Nara Langui, including the three pig, deer and butterfly tribes behind him, react to this?

There is even Tsunade-hime who openly and openly cheers for Nara to win the title. What kind of things will she do because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's insistence?

Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen just thinks about the consequences of doing this, his reason will persuade him to stop in time.

Stop it, here are all the ninjas who support Nara's taking the glory...

certainly.

Behind Sarutobi Hiruzen's various thoughts, Nara Langui's own strength level, prestige and reputation are also absolutely undeniable factors.

Say a thousand words and ten thousand words.

Nara Langui's strength is stronger than Namikaze Minato (and Sarutobi Hiruzen).

Nara Langui's contribution in the Third Ninja War was more than Namikaze Minato.

Including in the previous Five Kage talks in the Iron Kingdom.

The reason why Konoha can have an absolute advantage in the Five Shadows Conference.

The reason why other ninja villages were tolerant of Konoha during the Five Kage Conference.

Isn't the root cause the various incidents that Nara Langui committed during the Third War?

at this point.

What more can be said about Sarutobi Hiruzen?

The jounin class voting session ended less than half an hour ago.

A ninja team headed by the contemporary Ino Shika Butterfly team carried Konoha's official documents to the capital of the Land of Fire.

After the Fire Country daimyo stamped his daimyo seal on Konoha's documents, the Ino Shika Butterfly team quickly returned to Konoha Village with the document scroll.

Over the next week.

The whole of Konoha fell into a carnival atmosphere.

It's the day.

The sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.

Under the spotlight.

Nara Langui climbed to the top rooftop of the Hokage building and lazily put the Hokage hat, which symbolized the Hokage's identity, on his head.

"From today on, I will govern Konoha Village.

"I am the Fourth Hokage - Nara Langui!"
