Because the painting style of the seventh class of Hokage collapsed

"Konoha has been going downhill over the years, can't he feel it? No, I believe he can feel it, but he just doesn't want to face reality, let alone change!"

Having said this, Kakashi punched the wooden pile angrily, and the huge force created a deep crack on the wooden pile on the spot.

Minato was really shocked. What surprised him was not that Kakashi took action, but that Kakashi actually had such a big grudge against the Third Hokage.

But if you think about it carefully, doesn't what Kakashi said make sense?No, what Kakashi said was true, and even his statement was very tactful.

In the Hokage Building, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking a cigarette. He kept staring at the crystal ball in front of him with a complicated expression.

The Third Hokage is not stupid. He naturally understands that what Kakashi said is true. Is he really wrong?Has he forgotten his original intention?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be the case.

When the second generation died, he was ordered to take over as the third generation Hokage.

But because he was too young, not only the hostile ninja village, but also many ninjas in Konoha looked down upon him.

But even in that desperate situation of internal and external troubles, he still relied on his strong will to survive.

However, since he got older, he began to worry that he could not withstand so much pressure on his own, so he established a group of elders, distributed power to his former teammates, and even let his friend Danzo bear the burden of Konoha's darkness.

After all, he was still afraid. He was afraid that he would not be able to take care of so many things. Is the cause of all this really just because he is old?Maybe this is only part of the reason...

The Third Hokage put down his pipe and let out a long sigh.

At the training ground, Kakashi and Minato's heart-to-heart talk continued.

"To sum up, I think the Hokage is the head of a village and the highest decision-maker of a group. Every thought and action he makes will have a huge impact on the group. No matter what means are used, it can make Konoha progress. He is a good Hokage, but on the contrary, he makes Konoha go downhill... haha."

Kakashi summed up his feelings.

At this moment, Minato just felt like his head was buzzing.

He originally came to Kakashi to hear what the younger generation of ninjas thought.

In his opinion, the new generation of ninjas who have received Konoha's traditional education since childhood must have all kinds of admiration for Naruto. But now that he thinks about it carefully, the little devil in front of him graduated from the ninja school at the age of five and has not suffered too much mental illness. Brainwashing, his words may be the true thoughts of many people in Konoha.

"I understand, is the good Hokage the one who can lead everyone forward together?" Minato drank another cup of tea, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.

"You are right Kakashi. The Hokage must learn to assess the situation. The current Konoha has been on a decline. If you want to return to the top, you must make changes. And the opportunity for this change may lie in the fourth generation of Hokage. Election, I have decided, I want to participate in this election, and I want to be the fourth Hokage of Konoha!"

Seeing Minato's high-spirited appearance, Kakashi couldn't help but smile. Combined with the character card on Minato's body, Kakashi felt that when Minato really took over the position of Hokage, those worms in Konoha would definitely suffer a big loss.

But maybe only in this way can Konoha usher in a future that is completely different from the original timeline.

On the roof of the Hokage Building, the third Hokage stood on the rooftop, looking at the statues of previous Hokage above his head, while feeling the wind constantly blowing around him.

The battle for the Fourth Hokage is about to begin. All the candidates are already in place. Next, it depends on their respective abilities.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and Kakashi's life had not changed much because of his previous remarks.

The Third Hokage would come to Shop No. [-] to eat every once in a while. Every time he saw Kakashi, he was still as kind as an ordinary old man, as if he didn't peek and eavesdrop on Kakashi and Minato that day. Average conversation.

As for Kakashi, he was busy at Shop No. [-] during the day and went to the training ground at night to conduct training and research with Obito and Lin.

At the same time, something happened in the ninja world.

First, news came back from Black. Nagato has changed a lot recently, and he has become very radical. According to the current development of the situation, the war between the Akatsuki organization and Amegakure Village will soon break out, and this Blake has found no trace of the man behind it all.

Secondly, Minato encountered the AB combination on the Kumo ninja front. It was similar to the original timeline. Minato showed that he defeated the AB combination, the Kumo ninja retreated, and the northern battlefield was completely calm.

In the Western Region, the Rain Ninja ceased fighting, and only the Mist Ninja was still ready to move. However, after several elite teams they sent were defeated by the new generation of the Uchiha clan, the Mist Ninja also retreated obediently and stopped causing trouble. .

With this, the Third Ninja War has officially come to an end.

On the third day after all villages declared a truce, a list of candidates for the Fourth Hokage quietly spread in Konoha.

There are more than a dozen candidates on the list, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are actually only six people who are actually likely to participate in the election.

The three ninja Jiraiya, the three ninja Tsunade, the three ninja Orochimaru.

The new generation of Minato Namikaze, the young leader of the Uchiha clan Uchiha Fugaku, and a certain Danzo from the root of Konoha who rarely appeared.

Among these six people, it is a surprise that Danzo can be nominated. After all, according to the original conception of the Third Hokage, Danzo has always been the darkness of Konoha and will never be qualified to come to the bright side.

But in the first battle with the Kumo ninja, Danzo gained a reputation as a great warrior, which led to him gaining a certain reputation among civilian ninjas.

In addition, since listening to Kakashi's words last time, the Third Hokage felt that he should also make some changes in time. For example, his old friend, the Third Hokage felt that Danzo had been in the dark for too long, and it was time to let him go. He tasted a little sunshine.

Of course, Danzo is destined to miss the position of the Fourth Hokage. His appearance this time can only be regarded as a face-wash in front of the public. There are very few people who really support him.

Among the remaining people, Jiraiya voluntarily withdrew. This prodigal son still wanted to continue traveling around the world and be a wandering writer. If it weren't for the fact that his apprentice was also running for Hokage, he would have left the village long ago.

As for Tsunade, she was also not interested in the position of Hokage. As soon as the war was declared over, she took Shizune to the Fire City for a concert.

Uchiha Fugaku of the Uchiha family was actually a genius and had made many military exploits in the Third Ninja War. However, compared to his competitor Namikaze Minato, Fugaku's brilliance was inevitably too bright. Too bleak.

Moreover, it is impossible for the top management of Konoha to really allow the Uchiha clan to serve as Hokage, so the nomination itself is just a show. However, Fugaku is not at a loss. If he fails to run for Hokage, he can take over as the clan leader. The current clan leader of the Uchiha clan is Nian. Things have gotten so advanced that he has long wanted to abdicate, and Uchiha Fugaku is expected to take over as clan leader before the end of the year.

In the end, there were only two candidates left who were really likely to run for the position of Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru and Namikaze Minato.
