People are in Hokage, one person at a time

Even though Jiraiya is now a prodigal son of the ninja world and appears to be a bohemian and freedom-loving person, as one of the three great ninjas of Konoha and having personally served as the commander of Konoha's independent front, how could Jiraiya not understand the twists and turns of the position of Hokage?

It's said to be a democratic vote at the Jonin Conference, but in fact, those who know about that know that to be able to become Hokage means that he himself is the largest political group in Konoha, and there is no such thing as a term of office for the Hokage. As long as you don't do anything excessive, can the people in the village openly launch a coup?

Therefore, the current Hokage has a very big say in the selection of the next Hokage.

You can't choose a political enemy to be the successor, right? Even if you have a lot of prestige among the people, just like the White Fang of Konoha, what can it do?

It is impossible for someone who is not a Hokage to reach that position. If you dare to reach out too much, no matter who you are, death is the only outcome.

Even Minato couldn't avoid this.

Under the guidance of Minato and Uchiha Kiyogen, Konoha has embarked on an unprecedented path of development, so the choice of successor is very important.

As the Fifth Hokage, in addition to having interests that are consistent with the mainstream of Konoha, as for future development, he does not require the Fifth Hokage to have an outstanding vision to make a great breakthrough in Konoha's development. The most important thing is to follow Konoha's long-term plan and ensure that Konoha does not lose its direction in the future.

The primary conditions for selecting the Fifth Hokage are to be obedient, sensible, in line with the interests of the mainstream of Konoha, and preferably have some forward-looking vision and be able to execute well before the current group of people who are leading the change die.

Therefore, people who are not from the Hokage line will not be taken into consideration at all, and Minato himself has no ambition to develop his power, unless the Second Hokage is restored. Otherwise, look at the Hokage's disciples, Hatake Kakashi is a guy who doesn't have much political ambition, not to mention Nohara Rin. As the planner of Konoha's new era, after Minato will be Uchiha Kiyomizu or the guy pushed by Uchiha Kiyomizu. This has become a tacit fact of Konoha.

Based on the premise that the Fifth Hokage must be from Uchiha Seigen's faction, combined with Uchiha Seigen's previous dream, being a Hokage was not among his goals, but being the man of the Hokage...

Jiraiya took a deep breath. Although he didn't know if this was a coincidence, if he followed this line of thought, this kid had taken too long to prepare for a rainy day, didn't he?

The Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Mei?

This is really unexpected!

Shaking his head, Jiraiya threw away the speculation in his mind about the Fifth Hokage. Although he couldn't believe it, who was the Fifth Hokage? What did this have to do with him, the great hero of the ninja world, Jiraiya?

As for this kid Nawaki, if he knew that he had no chance of becoming Hokage, he would probably make a fuss, right?

But it's also true that if he were the Fourth Hokage or Uchiha Kiyogen's position, he probably wouldn't hand the position of Hokage to Nawaki. After all, a child can be judged by his appearance at the age of three and a person can be judged by his character at the age of seven. A guy like Nawaki is obviously a hot-blooded fool at first glance. Even if he broke the three prohibitions of ninja, it would be difficult for Nawaki to do those cruel things.

Being a Hokage is not a game. Although I can understand Nawaki's desire to be Hokage, what does it matter even if Nawaki is now possessed by the Shodaime?

Konoha has no shortage of experts. The mess left behind by the Shodaime has not been dealt with yet. Konoha has just started to improve, but now a idiot who is almost as stupid as the Shodaime has appeared. This is just nonsense.

So, Nawaki, you'd better listen to your elder brother Jiraiya obediently and continue on the path of a wanderer in the ninja world unswervingly. Adhere to the request that the Second Hokage once implicitly made to you. In addition to Nawaki's physical and mental health, the most important thing for you, Senju Nawaki, is to expand the Senju family!

"This boy will definitely get married in the future, right?"

As he thought about it, for some reason, Jiraiya suddenly felt a little sorry for Nawaki.

Don’t be fooled by some people who have such impressive titles as grandson of the first Hokage and the only designated heir of the Senju family, but what is the price of these titles?

Although Rope Tree's identity means that he cannot be treated the same as those captured bloodline limit ninjas, even so, hard work will probably be the main theme of Rope Tree's future, right?

There is nothing wrong with some things being played for fun on a casual basis, but once you treat them as a task, not only will they lose their fun over time, but the important thing is not to end up sending people away.

However, it is obviously not Jiraiya's turn to worry about these problems. After all, Nawase's sister is a well-known medical expert in the ninja world, and Nawase's brother-in-law has directly broken the boundary between life and death. Under such conditions, death does not seem to be something to be afraid of, right?

People are different!

Jiraiya sighed, then smiled and put all the problems behind him.

Although the future of Rope Tree is indeed worrying, what does the troubles of happiness have to do with him, a wandering son of the ninja world?

As the number one prodigal son in the ninja world, he was determined to save more people who were sinking in the sea of ​​suffering. Given the current situation, Jiraiya could not think of anything that could make him stop.

Major life events are totally unimportant. As for descendants, does Jiraiya, one of the three great ninjas of Konoha, the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku, and the teacher of the Fourth Hokage, worry that no one will see him off in his later years?

However, if I really want to leave my bloodline, if it is really not possible, I can still agree to the request of the chief of Fushiko Village!

Jiraiya happily embarked on the journey back to Konoha. Now he was only worried about whether he would be left behind by the Second Hokage after returning to Konoha.

The past events were still vivid in his mind, and Jiraiya knew that as a ninja of Konoha, he should shoulder part of the responsibility, but staying in Konoha to collect materials was a problem. After working hard for half a lifetime, couldn't he enjoy himself?

But now Jiraiya is a man who has some py dealings with the Second Hokage, and Minato is a filial child. If there is really any problem, he will stay and wait until it is solved before leaving. Anyway, with Konoha's strength, it should not encounter any major problems now. The worst is the outbreak of war, which may take three months at the shortest and half a year at the longest. Is there any problem in this ninja world that these people in Konoha cannot solve?
