Traveling through Naruto: I am the strongest rotten person!

Gradually there was news that the Third Hokage was in poor health and wanted to step down.

This big event spread in the village through gossip, and it was obvious that it was not groundless.

Many people have begun to speculate on the candidate for the next village chief. Gambling houses are following the trend. The boss has marked the names of possible people and people have begun to place bets.

Before Hiruzen officially planned to step down as Hokage, he visited the brothers Tobirama and Hashirama and listened to their opinions.

Although they have long since stopped interfering in the political affairs of the village, they still have more life experience and experience than Hiruzen, especially Tobirama.

As a top politician in the entire ninja world, his suggestions are of great reference value.

Now, the Third Ninja World War has apparently ended. Although this time, there was not a large-scale war, but as long as there was a battle, there would be casualties, and every village in each country was in a state of recuperation after the war.

At this time, it seems that it is not impossible to replace the shadow of a village.

From Tobirama's point of view, the current batch of ninjas growing up in the village, the slightly older ones like Sakumo and the Sannin, and the younger ones like Fugaku Minato, are all very good ninjas, even if you look at the entire ninja world. It's definitely possible.

They have experienced both peace and war. They have outstanding abilities and mature thoughts. They have no problem even if they serve as the shadow of a village.

What's more, the past generations of Kage are still alive and well. Even if their methods of handling village affairs are immature, they still have the guidance of their ancestors.

There is ample time.

Yagura, the fourth generation Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, became a Mizukage at a young age and did very well. Even though he made an immature decision to attack Konoha in terms of external military affairs, this is inevitable for newcomers.

And the foundation of Konoha is still there, which can guide and support new forces.

While he and his brother are still alive, he might be able to exert some residual heat to Konoha.

Tobirama thought this way, and Hashirama completely agreed. He was full of hope for the young man. Hiruzen planned to give up his seat to the young man, and he supported it with his feet in the air.

When Hiruzen decided to step down, he would definitely find a successor in advance. He first found Sakumo. Sakumo needed to be capable and influential. What's more, he also had military exploits. Even the second generation Hokage-sama The background of "Chenglong Kuaishu" is perfect.

However, when Hiruzen proposed his intention to succeed him, he was politely rejected by Sakumo.

This man had been gentle for many years, and he rejected Hiruzen with a smile.

"Even if I don't become Hokage, I still have the consciousness to dedicate myself to the village. Hokage should be the strongest ninja in the village. In this regard, I am still far behind others, let alone..." He thought of Joruri.

"My father-in-law has been in office the longest. He is always very busy with Hokage affairs. Joruri often said that she lacked her father's company in the past. Now that I am her husband, I also want to make up for her as much as possible. I regret that I did not have it in the first half of my life. The solution is to let her live the rest of her life with her family by her side, and Kakashi will also need me very much."

This is a good reason. To put it bluntly, Joruri and Kakashi are the excuses Sakumo came up with.

This man is very strong, but he has no ambition and does not want to put himself in a high position.

There are turbulent undercurrents among the top management, and it is quite difficult to get along with them. How could these Sakumo not understand?

He just doesn't want to wade into this muddy water.

You can't force an unintentional person to be Hokage.

After being rejected by Sakumo, Hiruzen asked Jiraiya and Tsunade again. At that time, these two people had been drinking in an izakaya in broad daylight and their cheeks were red.

Hiruzen asked them what they wanted in a casual manner, but both of them rejected him before he finished speaking.

"Is it because I couldn't think better of it that I agreed to do this?" Tsunade was very disgusted. "After seeing the daily life of grandpa and uncle, I don't want to do such a job."

That's all Hashirama, he has Tobirama behind him, and all matters, big or small, are left to Tobirama to handle, but what about Tobirama, who does he have?

He can only do everything by himself.

Thinking of myself, who do I have?

It was obvious that Jiraiya beside him could not be counted on.

If you don’t do it, you won’t do it, and if you beat yourself up, you won’t do it.

"I won't do it if Tsunade doesn't do it. I'm not as good as Tsunade in handling various affairs in the village. Moreover, I still prefer to collect information everywhere and live the life of a leisurely cloud and wild crane. I am tied to the village and cannot leave here unless necessary. This kind of thing doesn’t suit me.”

Hiruzen was speechless. He had been hitting a wall since the morning. Half a day passed and all three people rejected him.

Some people have thought about being Hokage their entire lives but have never been able to do so. Now, he took the initiative to give this position to others, but was rejected again and again.

When did the position of Hokage become so annoying?

After leaving the izakaya, Hiruzen looked at the sky speechlessly. He was wondering whether he should still ask Orochimaru.

He was hesitating, very hesitant.

Orochimaru is his most optimistic student, and he views the students from the perspective of a teacher. But if you step out of this identity and just look at the successor as a leader, it is obvious that Orochimaru is not would be a suitable successor.

He focused on those studies and was not willing to distract himself from the village. Moreover, over the years, Hiruzen gradually became aware of some of Orochimaru's little thoughts and secretly knew some of the experiments he conducted, including the secrets between him and Danzo. Collusion.

A person who has no compassion for all living beings, no reverence for life, and no compassion for his companions will never be able to become a person who can control the majority of people's life and death.

He cannot leave the village in his hands to such a person.

If you can't choose a suitable candidate from this generation of ninjas, then you can only focus on younger ones.

Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Fugaku are by far the leaders among the younger ninjas, and stand out among the ninjas of their generation.

There is a high probability that the Hokage will choose between these two people. Hiruzen already knows who to choose.

Compared to Fugaku, who came from a larger family, Minato was more popular. Although he was a few years younger than Fugaku, his strength was not inferior to him.

Moreover, in the Third Ninja War, Minato fought on multiple fronts and had countless highlight moments. There was even a legend among ninjas in other villages that they could unconditionally abandon the mission and escape after seeing Konoha's yellow flash.

Such people are a good deterrent to the outside world, and even internally, Minato, who is active on the battlefield of protecting the village and the Fire Country, has already earned himself a good reputation.

Fugaku was silent and steady, but a little more indecisive.

If he was not from the Uchiha clan, Hiruzen thought he would be a suitable candidate.

However, he was Uchiha.

Uchiha values ​​​​too much emotion, and often cannot look at things calmly, rationally and fairly, and these are what a leader must possess.

The more intense the emotion, the stronger the ability, which makes them an uncontrollable people.

People who are uncontrollable often do whatever they want, which is fine as an individual, but absolutely undesirable as a shadow who can affect the village by making any decision.

Hiruzen couldn't see Fugaku's path forward, and he didn't dare to take the risk.

Choosing a suitable Hokage for the village was probably the last thing he could do.

No matter how you look at it, Minato is the one with the best overall level.

Hiruzen thought that this time, his choice must be right.
