"Let's not talk about whether your suggestion is correct or not, but the consequences this time were indeed caused by my stubbornness. For this, I apologize to you." Chiba shook his head.

"It's not me you should apologize to, but the entire Konoha... You put Uncle Yue in danger and Koizumi in deep crisis, all because of your stubbornness. If it were my temper, I would have taken your life long ago!" Chiba spoke bluntly, and his words were filled with murderous intent, but the Sandai did not sense the murderous intent. Instead, he was shocked by Chiba's words.

"Really? You're still the same as you were ten years ago, both in words and actions... It seems I'm really old!"

"Just speak frankly, old man, no need to beat around the bush!"

"What do you think of Konoha's Hokage?!"

Qianye was about to drink tea, the cup was suspended in the air, he squinted slightly, then put down the cup, and said seriously: "I don't know the fourth generation, after all, he served for too short a time... But the first generation, the second generation, including you, the third generation old man! I only need to use two people to describe them!"

The Sandai's expression changed slightly, wondering what Chiba would say.

"hypocritical!"

The Sandai's pupils suddenly shrank, and he was shocked again by Qianye's words, but this time, he frowned.

Chiba said that he would accept himself no matter how bad he was, but the first and second generations were the founders of Konoha.

"What do you mean by that! Chiba——"

"Isn't it? Let me ask you, how was the Konoha Ninja Village originally established?"

The third generation was stunned and was about to speak, but Chiba answered first: "The first generation Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and the then head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Madara, joined forces to establish the Konoha Ninja Village to protect their families!"

At this moment, Qianye changed the topic and immediately stated a fact that the Third Generation could not refute: "Then the question is, who did this Konoha Ninja Village protect? Uchiha Madara died, Konoha White Fang died, the three ninjas left, the Fourth Generation died, the Uchiha clan was exterminated, and even your apprentice wanted to destroy Konoha. So I ask you, who did Konoha protect? The so-called Hokage is just maintaining the existing power in the name of protection, that's all!"

Chiba's question hit the nail on the head and Sandai had no way to refute it.

"The original intention of the first Hokage to establish Konoha was good, but it started to change after Uchiha Madara left. The first Hokage kept saying that he established Konoha to protect his brothers, but he personally killed Uchiha Madara, who was regarded as a brother! Why did this happen? Who was behind all this?"

"this……"

The Sandai was speechless. Chiba's questions became more and more pointed and he didn't know how to answer.

"Don't you know? Because from the beginning, the Senju family didn't trust the Uchiha and didn't think about protecting them. Although Hashirama had such an idea, there was always a radical Second Generation Hokage who got in the way! That's the reason!"

This is true whether it's the second generation, Danzo, Utane Koharu, or Mito Kado En.

"Qianye, how do you know these things?"

Those were things that only people who had experienced that period would know. The third generation also knew something, but not as much as Chiba. Listening to Chiba's story, it was as if he had personally experienced that period of history.

"You don't care how I found out. I just want to ask you, do you dare to deny the hypocrisy of the previous Hokage?"

"..."

The third generation remained silent. He wanted to say "no", but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.

"If you don't say anything, it means you agree! What else do you want to say——"

Qianye waved his hand and said indifferently.

"I want you to be the Fifth Hokage!"

“You’re gambling!”

Chiba said with narrowed eyes.

“So, I’m betting everything on you. I believe in you!”

"No, don't use this hypocritical thing on me. You are not betting because you believe in me, but you have to believe in me to bet!"

The Sandai's face changed and he was speechless for a moment.

This was the words he feared the most. The reputation of Konoha's Death God was so loud that even the Hokage could not control it.

Chiba was too dominant. If he followed Konoha's usual practice, he would probably be forced by Konoha's pressure, just like Konoha White Fang back then. Unfortunately, Chiba was not Konoha White Fang.

No one dared to touch Qianye, and no one could touch Qianye. His reputation was now slightly higher than that of the Hokage, and his strength had long surpassed it.

The Third Hokage understood Chiba's thoughts, so if he chose someone else, the Hokage's deterrent power in Konoha would disappear, and Konoha would still be in chaos.

At this time, the third generation became interested.

“Where do you get your confidence from?”

"Believe it or not, I can kill you right now, announce that the Sand Village assassinated the Hokage of Konoha, and finally make a will to let me become the Hokage! In this way... no one will doubt it!"

The third generation's pupils shrank. For the first time, he felt Chiba's wisdom. It was not the wisdom in tactics and combat power, but the political wisdom, which far exceeded his understanding of Chiba.

"Really? You dare to do this... I also have a way to frame you and force you to leave Konoha. After all, I am the Hokage now!"

The third generation looked at Qianye and said arrogantly.

This time, Qianye laughed, laughed out loud, and mocked without restraint.

"You are really old and confused. I am waiting for you to find a crime for me. I will never resist if you dare!"

The third generation fell silent. He forgot that Chiba had another title that could not be ignored. In Konoha, this title was louder than his Hokage.

——The God of Death of Konoha, he is the savior of Konoha.

After a moment, Chiba and the third-generation old man fell into silence. After a few seconds, they suddenly burst into laughter.

"I am indeed hypocritical, so I have to bet with you... If I don't bet, Konoha will be destroyed in my hands, and I don't want to be a sinner!"

"Either destroy it or overthrow it. Do you think I care about that? If there comes a day when Konoha, my so-called hometown, makes it impossible for me to protect the people I love, I will destroy it with my own hands! Believe me... No one can stop me!"

At this point in the conversation, the three generations breathed a sigh of relief.

From the beginning of the conversation, the outcome was already determined. The Fifth Hokage was not someone who was replaced by the Third Hokage, but someone who was in Chiba's own hands.

"Then... Konoha is handed over to you, Chiba, no - the fifth Hokage, Uchiha Chiba!"

"Before that, I have one more piece of advice!"

Qianye smiled evilly and extended his index finger.

"What advice?"

Three generations are interested. I gave one piece of advice ten years ago and another one ten years later, but this time, what can be changed?

"Don't tell me what to do. You can express your opinions, but it's up to me to decide whether to listen or not. If you do something behind my back, I'll send you to see Danzo!"

Chiba's words made Sandai's pupils shrink, and then he shook his head and muttered to himself:

"Sure enough, it was you who did what Danzo did!"

"I've said before that I like this village very much, but it's sick and needs treatment... The disease must be treated from the inside out, and no internal pests should be spared! It's a sin to be soft-hearted and eliminate the roots!"

The implication is that the Third Generation's indulgence and leniency towards Danzo was his most serious mistake.

"The internal termites have been cleared out, and what remains is the outside. Konoha prefers peace and is even willing to sacrifice for peace. This image... will no longer exist from today!"

Chiba stood up and his eyes fell on a document on the Hokage's desk. It was the treaty sent by the Sand Village.

"First, let's start with the Wind Country! Third generation... just stay at home and enjoy your retirement. Watch what I do!"

the next day!

An expected yet unexpected news came from the Konoha Hokage's office building.

The Konoha Death God is about to succeed Sarutobi Hiruzen as the Fifth Hokage.

moment.

The news was like a drop of water falling into a lake, causing ripples.

In Konoha, everyone, whether ninja or civilians, was discussing this matter.

"Hey! Did you hear that... our Konoha's God of Death has been elected as the fifth Hokage!"

"Of course I know. Isn't this expected? With Lord Death's strength and reputation, it's only natural for him to become Hokage!"

"How can there be such a perfect person in the world, so powerful and handsome, and now he's even become Hokage, I really want to marry him!"

"Don't be a fangirl..."

The whole village was filled with congratulations. After all, the God of Death was powerful and prestigious, so it was natural for him to be recognized by the entire village.

However, even so, there are both joys and sorrows.

The voices of opposition are few, but they do exist.

"Why choose an Uchiha as the Hokage when there are so many choices..."

"Yes, yes! Isn't the Uchiha incident obvious enough? The Third-generation Master was really wrong!"

"What are you talking about, bastard? Lord Death has saved Konoha countless times. I have been under his protection, and you still say such things!"

Almost on the first day the announcement was made.

The Third Hokage then informed the Daimyo of the Land of Fire that a new leader for Konoha had been chosen.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire was very confident in the Third Hokage and approved Chiba's decision to become the Fifth Hokage without asking any questions.

At this time, Chiba rightfully became the fifth Hokage of Konoha and controlled the entire Konoha!

This news is like dry ice thrown into the sea. It is calm at first, but the reaction is violent and unpredictable.

The Kingdom of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

In the Mizukage office building, the fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, was handling affairs. At this moment, the summoning beast that brought the message gently landed beside the window.

Mei Terumi took out the letter and opened it. Her pupils suddenly contracted and a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.

"The Fifth Hokage? - It really doesn't match your title. A conspirator like you became the Hokage. Haha, how interesting - are you going to take Konoha into your hands?"

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

When the Fourth Raikage learned about this.

A meaningful expression appeared on his face and his brows were furrowed.

"Is this true!? That Konoha Shinigami became the Konoha Hokage!"

The Raikage placed the secret document on the table and calmly asked the ninja who had sent the letter.
