Chapter 24 Questioning the Hokage Inheritance

The current competitors for the position of Hokage in Konohagakure are Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Kagami.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was assigned by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Kagami was backed by the Uchiha clan, the second largest family in Konoha.

Moreover, Konoha Village was initiated and established by the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan. In the eyes of the members of the Uchiha clan, two consecutive Hokages from the Senju clan have emerged, and it is time for the Uchiha clan to be the third Hokage.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Uzumaki Mito convened a Konohagakure meeting in her capacity as the wife of the first Hokage, hoping to resolve the issue of succession of the next generation of Hokage through communication.

"Everyone, when Tobirama passed away, he ordered Sarutobi Hiruzen to take over the position of Hokage and become the third generation Hokage of Konoha. Now please tell us your opinions on this matter."

Uzumaki Mito sat at the top and spoke to the representatives and clan leaders of the major families with a smile.

"May I ask, Mito-sama, what the Nidaime said about Sarutobi Hiruzen becoming the Third Hokage? Do you have any evidence?"

The head of the Uchiha clan looked at Uzumaki Mito with a cold expression and said.

"Well, Tobirama's disciples were all there at the time. Didn't Jing explain it to you when he went back?"

Uzumaki Mito pondered for a moment, then looked calmly at the head of the Uchiha clan and said.

"Really? How come I didn't know? It seems that Sarutobi Hiruzen and his companions lied."

The head of the Uchiha clan sneered and said to Uzumaki Mito.

The head of the Uchiha clan did not bring Uchiha Kagami to this meeting today. His purpose was to forge the will of the Second Hokage by suspecting Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, in order to seize the position of Hokage of Konoha Village.

But in fact, the Uchiha clan had never thought of this. The reason why they questioned this was that Chen An quietly spread some rumors to the Uchiha clan behind the scenes.

During this period, under the leadership of Uzumaki Mito, Sarutobi won over many ninjas in Konoha Village, which made the support of the Hyuga clan less important.

Judging from the contact between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, these two people actually wanted to refute the second condition proposed by Chen An.

After all, among these two people, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to control the future power of Konoha Village, while Shimura Danzo wanted to become the fourth Hokage.

For the common good, the two worked together to get rid of the second condition proposed by the Hyuga clan.

In order to wake these two people up completely, Chen An sent someone to inform the Uchiha clan of this method of questioning their orthodoxy.

Let the Uchiha clan cause trouble at the conference, reducing the chances of Sarutobi Hiruzen becoming Hokage. This will make the support of the Hyuga clan precious.

This forced Sarutobi Hiruzen to accept the second condition proposed by the Hyuga clan.

As the Uchiha clan developed, the Ninja Conference suddenly became quiet, and the smaller clans began to whisper among themselves.

"Xiao An, the Uchiha clan is quite smart."

The clan leader Hinata Makuhei quietly came to Chen An's side and spoke to Chen An.

"They are just a bunch of reckless people. How could they possibly think of such a problem? I told them this quietly."

Chen An said with a smile to the clan leader Hinata Makuhei beside him.

Hinata Makuhira widened his eyes and looked at Chen An in astonishment.

"You won't push Sarutobi Hiruzen off the position of Hokage by doing this, right?"

Hinata Makuhei looked at Chen An nervously and said.

"Clan leader, don't worry. Uchiha Kagami was forced to this position by the Uchiha clan. Even if they chose Uchiha Kagami and he finally became the Hokage, before becoming the Hokage, Uchiha Kagami would have declined the position of Hokage for the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama."

Chen An spoke softly to the clan leader Hinata Makuhei.

"Oh, so that's the case. I'm relieved then."

Hearing Chen An's words, Hinata Makuhira nodded and said with sudden enlightenment.

Uzumaki Mito, who was sitting at the chief seat, looked at the conference room and felt a little annoyed.

In order for Sarutobi Hiruzen to succeed as Hokage, he had obtained a promise from Chen An, even at the cost of bullying the weak. This was so that the Hyuga clan behind Chen An would support Sarutobi Hiruzen to become the Third Hokage.

But after Sarutobi Hiruzen came into contact with the major families of Konoha Village, he began to secretly want to leave Uzumaki Mito behind and control Konoha alone.

This caused the Hyuga clan, who originally supported Sarutobi Hiruzen to become Hokage, to withdraw from the support and wait and see. They watched her being harassed by the Uchiha clan at the Konoha Village Ninja Clan Conference without saying a word.

But at this stage, except for the Hyuga clan to exit, Sarutobi Hiruzen is likely to be dethroned as the Third Hokage by the Uchiha clan.

"Master Hyuga, what do you Hyuga clan think?"

In desperation, Uzumaki Mito had to ask Hyuga Makuhei.

"As for the Hyuga clan, we all listen to the opinions of our third elder and let him make the decision."

The clan leader Hinata Makuhira pointed at Chen An next to him without blushing and said with a smile.

"In that case, what do you say, Xiao An?"

Uzumaki Mito looked at Chen An calmly, hoping that Chen An could speak at this time to help ease the atmosphere.

"Miyato-sama, we, the Hyuga clan, have no objection. Whether it's Uchiha Kagami or Sarutobi Hiruzen, whoever is supported by the villagers in the village, we will support him."

Chen An looked at Uzumaki Mito calmly, with a faint smile on his face and said.

"It's Sarutobi Hiruzen, the guy who stabbed me in the back and didn't keep his word. If I don't teach him a lesson, who knows how he'll take revenge on me when he becomes Hokage in the future.

Hearing Chen An's words, Uzumaki Mito felt a surge of anger in his chest, and a faint Nine-Tails Chakra began to emanate from his body.

But Uzumaki Mito quickly adjusted his emotions and suppressed the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"Let's end today's meeting here. Let's all go home."

Uzumaki Mito uttered these words calmly, then turned and walked out of the meeting room.

As he walked, the Nine-Tails Chakra on his body emanated little by little.

Although the people around were afraid of the Nine-Tails Chakra in Uzumaki Mito, they did not come close.

But they also began to discuss whether Sarutobi Hiruzen really lied with his classmates and wanted to seize the position of Hokage.

The clan leader Hyuga Makuhei looked at Uzumaki Mito leaving angrily and gave Chen An a thumbs up.

Chen An also smiled and didn't say much to the patriarch.

The position of the Sandaime Hokage is stuck here, and now the Hyuga clan just has to bargain.

As long as he completes this attack, it will be a sure thing for him to become the fourth Hokage.

But this time I want to add one more thing, which is to restrict the development of Sarutobi, Shimura, Mito, and Utanabe, the F4 family of Kiyoshi in the original work.

You should know that in the original work, during the Fourth Ninja World War, the Sarutobi clan actually appeared as the Fire Style Class of Konoha Village. Most of the people in the Fire Style Class were members of the Sarutobi clan. It is conceivable how much support the Sarutobi clan received when Sarutobi Hiruzen became the Third Hokage.
