Hokage: My destiny is me, I am Hokage

Sarutobi Hiruzen made his own judgment in his heart, and firmly believed that his judgment had a high probability of being correct. After all, he had eliminated all wrong options.

Unknowingly, Nara Shikaku had followed Sarutobi Hiruzen into the Hokage's office.

"Shikaku, please find a seat and sit down." Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he sat on the chair behind his desk.

"Yes, Hokage-sama." After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Nara Shikaku found a seat and sat down without hesitation.

After seeing Nara Shikaku sitting down, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly spoke: "This time Koharu and En died unexpectedly. Although it is very sad, Konoha must still continue to move forward. The positions of root and medical department minister cannot be Vacancy, do you have any suggestions?”

After Nara Shikaku heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, he knew that the highlight of the day was coming, but he could not reveal his intentions immediately.

"It's all up to Hokage-sama to make the decision. The Ino, Shika and Butterfly clan will support Hokage-sama in any appointment he takes." Nara Shikaku said very respectfully.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen heard such words, a peaceful smile appeared on his face that should have been sad, and he said softly: "Shikaku, Konoha has never been my one word, Konoha is everyone's Konoha, you have Feel free to come up with any ideas, but now Konoha needs an injection of new blood to develop better."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied with Nara Shikaku's reaction, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was not prepared to let his own clan members serve as ministers of these two departments.

One is because there is really no suitable candidate among the Sarutobi clan, and the other is because several of his friends have died one after another. Now Sarutobi Hiruzen must win over his supporters and allocate more benefits to them. In this political struggle, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew this very well.

As for the meaning of Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Nara Shikaku, as a smart man, also knew very well, but this was exactly what he wanted.

"Hokage-sama, as for the medical department, I recommend Tsunade-sama to be the medical director." Nara Shikaku first gave the most correct answer, because he knew that this choice was destined to not be realized.

"Tsunade? It is indeed suitable, but Tsunade has left the village half a month ago to travel." Sarutobi Hiruzen said helplessly. In his heart, he also very much agreed with Tsunade as the medical minister, regardless of her qualifications. Regardless of identity, Tsunade is the most suitable.

"Tsunade-sama has left the village to travel. Hokage-sama is currently in a shinobi world situation. Tsunade-sama actually..." Nara Shikaku said pretending to be shocked.

"Hey, Shikaku, young people all have their own ideas, and I, an old man, can't help it. Do you think there are any other candidates for the position of Medical Minister?"

After hearing the words of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Nara Shikaku lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said sincerely: "I recommend Naragawa Ai. She is a jounin who is proficient in various medical ninjutsu. She is now in the hospital. Apart from Tsunade-sama, he is the most suitable candidate to serve as director, both in terms of medical ninjutsu and qualifications."

"Kawaai?" Sarutobi Hiruzen had some impressions of this woman from the Nara clan. She had helped Tsunade prepare appropriate antidotes many times during the Second War of the Ninja World, and was a ninja who rescued the village. She had a strong reputation in the village. Quite a reputation.

After thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with it. Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in agreement and agreed that Ai Naragawa would serve as the medical minister.

"Shikaku, do you have any candidates for the root leader?" Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to ask with dark eyes.

"Hokage-sama, I think the root is a very important military department in the village. It is better for the root leader to be selected from the root members. I don't know the root members very well, but I often hear Elder Yan mention the name Medicine Master Nono. Naruto You can consider it, adults."

Nara Shikaku said very cautiously.

"Yakushi Nono?" Sarutobi Hiruzen had heard this name from Danzo before. He was a very excellent spy ninja, but he had also heard praise for her from Yan, saying that she was not only a An excellent spy ninja is also very good at handling government affairs and is a rare talent.

He soon made up his mind and said peacefully to Nara Shikaku in front of him: "Shikaku, I will seriously consider your suggestion about the root leader."

"Hokage-sama, thank you for your hard work." Nara Shikaku responded respectfully.

After hearing Nara Shikaku's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head and looked at the sky outside the window, and then said again: "That's it for tonight. I will arrange the ANBU for the follow-up processing, Shikaku, you go first Go back and rest, it’s not too late.”

After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's order to expel guests, Nara Shikaku did not hesitate and stood up to leave respectfully.

Looking at the closed door after Nara Shikaku left, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned gloomy and indifferent again, and he spoke to the shadow in the corner of the room: "Ask Yakushi Nono to come see me."

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow walked out of the corner and disappeared into the house.

After seeing the disappearing black shadow, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again: "Find out all the information on Orochimaru's recent activities and send them to the room next to you. I will take a look later."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

A figure emerged from the shadows again, kneeling on one knee in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and said respectfully, and then immediately disappeared.

After all the ANBU left, the Hokage's office fell into silence.

"Orochimaru, don't let the teacher down."

The hoarse voice echoed in the office for a long time.

Time passed slowly, and the night became darker. The Hokage's office was always brightly lit, and people were constantly coming in and out to report various intelligence to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Suddenly there was another knock on the door of the Hokage's office, and a gentle word passed through the door into the ears of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Lord Hokage, Yakushi Nono is here to report."

"Nono? Come in quickly." Sarutobi Hiruzen in the room said in a calm tone, without any hint of force or aggression from the superior.

After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Yakushi Nono opened the door and walked into the Hokage's office.

And it was the first time for Sarutobi Hiruzen to see this root ninja who had been praised by two generations of root leaders.

The visitor has a petite and well-proportioned figure, with slender shoulders and a slim waist. The wide black and white nun's uniform covers her exquisite figure, but does not cover the softness and tenderness of her temperament. She has a gentle and graceful oval face, and a straight nose. A pair of large black and white glasses frames partially obscured her face.

Such a temperament made Sarutobi Hiruzen unable to help but take a few more glances.

"Hokage-sama, what's the matter?" A gentle voice came from the mouth of Medicine Master Nono.

"Nono, I often hear Danzo and Yan praising your talents. Now Yan is suddenly attacked and killed. I don't know what you think."
