Naruto: Becoming a God by Intercepting Kamui

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not angry. He took a deep puff of the opium, surrounded by the smoke, and fell into thought.

After a long while, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Xiaochun, Menyan, I have prepared for this matter. The Uchiha clan's coming to the stage is inevitable. In the current ninja world, perhaps the Uchiha clan's coming to the stage is a better choice."

"Huruzen you..." Mizuto Menen was stunned. He didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to have this attitude.

"Menyan, just as Xiaochun said, we should face the reality. The external crisis that the village is facing now cannot be solved by our strength alone. The purpose of Akatsuki is to collect the tailed beasts. When the time comes, we in Konoha will definitely have a war with them." Sarutobi Hiruzen said helplessly.

"Moreover, we have lost the support of the people, and people's hearts are fickle. Thanks to this war, Uchiha Akira's reputation has far surpassed mine, even higher than Minato's!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he walked to the window and looked at the bustling street below.

"We can't stop him from getting to the top. This is an open conspiracy!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice came faintly.

Mizuto Menen opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he was unable to say anything and just let out a helpless sigh.

Finally, Mitomon En accepted his fate and said helplessly, "Well, let's see what direction Konoha will go under the leadership of the Uchiha clan."

"Listen, the villagers have already started to build momentum for Uchiha Akira. They also think that I, the old Hokage, should abdicate..." Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of the battlefield window, his face full of helplessness.

"Moreover, I must also be held responsible for the previous Kumogakure raid on our border defense forces, which resulted in the near annihilation of the border defense forces!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice became firm.

As a powerful Kage-level being, his five senses are extremely strong, so he can naturally hear the conversations on the street below.

"In this war, the Sandaime didn't accomplish anything, and instead held us back..."

"The Sandaime is old. When the Fourth Hokage died, the Sandaime should not have taken the throne again. The Cloud Village dared to launch a surprise attack just because our Hokage is old..."

"We in Konoha really need a young and strong Hokage. Uchiha Ming-sama is a good candidate and has great strength..."

"Lord Uchiha Ming is indeed suitable. He is so powerful. As long as he becomes the Hokage, our Konoha will definitely be completely renewed. By then, I wonder which other ninja villages will dare to challenge him..."

"Come to think of it, the Sandaime is still responsible for the border defense force incident..."

...

Listening to the discussions of the villagers below, the three people in the meeting room fell silent.

This is an inevitable trend.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Did you see that? This is the current situation of the village~"

"Hiruzhan..."

Utane Koharu groaned helplessly.

"After a while, after a while, I will resign and step down from the position of Hokage, and then let Uchiha Akira take over and become the fifth Hokage of our Konoha!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said as his voice became gradually firmer.

Although he was reluctant, the situation was stronger than him and he had no choice but to do so, otherwise he would be crushed by the trend.

Rather than going against the trend and being crushed into pieces, it is better to step down gracefully and enjoy your retirement.

"Who knows? I may be the first Kage in the history of the five major ninja villages to enjoy his old age in peace!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a self-deprecating look.

On the other side, the Uchiha clan, the clan leader's residence.

Uchiha Fugaku sat at the chairman's seat, opposite him was Uchiha Mikoto who was holding Uchiha Sasuke. Uchiha Akira and Uchiha Shisui sat opposite each other, and Uchiha Itachi sat next to Uchiha Shisui.

The table was filled with sumptuous and exquisite dishes.

Uchiha Fugaku said with emotion: "Ming, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise we would be in danger."

After seeing Uchiha Hikaru's completed form of Susanoo, he had already despaired.

"Yes, thanks to Brother Ming, otherwise we would be finished. Who could have thought that a thing like the complete form of Susanoo would appear!" Uchiha Shisui sighed.

Uchiha Ming shook his head and said calmly: "Don't worry about these things."

"Come to think of it, after this war, you will become Hokage soon, right?" Uchiha Mikoto said with a smile.

"Hokage? Brother Ming is going to become Hokage?" Uchiha Shisui looked at Uchiha Ming in surprise.

Uchiha Itachi beside him also looked surprised.

Although Uchiha Itachi is not very old, he is very mature and knows what being Hokage means.

He is the supreme leader of Konoha, the person standing at the top of the ninja world.

"Of course. The reason we were able to win this war was all thanks to Ming's existence. Otherwise, our Konoha would have been destroyed by Kumogakure, Iwagakure and Akatsuki." Uchiha Fugaku said as a matter of course.

Then, he looked at Uchiha Itachi and said softly: "Itachi, you need to work harder in the future and learn from your brother Ming."

Uchiha Itachi's face straightened and he nodded gently: "I understand, father. From now on, I will work hard and strive to become a truly strong man."

"Don't be too harsh on Itachi. It's not good to put too much pressure on a child." Uchiha Ming shook his head. He did not approve of Uchiha Fugaku's teaching method.

"Just do your best." Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Itachi and smiled.

"Yes, father." Uchiha Itachi also smiled.

The episode passed quickly and the people present began to talk about business.

"Now Ming has surpassed Minato in reputation, and he will definitely not be able to escape the position of Hokage." Uchiha Fugaku said with a smile, "The Sandaime Hokage must abdicate. He cannot escape the responsibility for the annihilation of 3,000 border defense troops by Kumogakure. As the Hokage, he must be responsible no matter what."

As he spoke, Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Ming and said, "If the Sandaime Hokage can recognize the reality, he will step down on his own and make himself look more respectable."

"I believe he will understand the current situation. After a while, he will resign on his own initiative." Uchiha Ming said calmly.

Ever since witnessing the battle between him and Nagato and others, Uchiha Akira clearly noticed that Sarutobi Hiruzen's morale was declining very quickly, as if he had been hit hard.

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and said, "I hope so. After all, he is the Hokage. If things get too awkward, it will undermine the Hokage's authority. It will still have some impact on Ming when he becomes the Hokage in the future."

"It's too early to talk about this." Uchiha Ming shook his head.

"It's getting late. You really should think carefully about what you want to do after becoming Hokage." Uchiha Fugaku reminded.

Uchiha smiled and said, "There are many things I want to do. You will know when the time comes."

"Then let's just keep our expectations." Uchiha Mikoto said with a smile.

"Sasuke, is there anything unusual? Is the Nine-Tails' chakra leaking?" Uchiha Ming changed the subject and looked at Uchiha Sasuke in Uchiha Mikoto's arms.

Uchiha Sasuke does not have obvious beard-like texture on his face like Uzumaki Naruto, so it is probably that the Nine-Tailed Fox in his body is just a split one.
