Naruto: Becoming a God by Intercepting Kamui

"Huruzen, this is not your fault. It's the reckless and ambitious people of Kumogakure who are responsible. The responsibility lies entirely with Kumogakure!" Utane Koharu came out to help Sarutobi Hiruzen the first time.

"That's right!" Mitomon En also spoke up, "You can't be blamed for this. It's all Kumogakure's fault. Hiruzen, you've done a great job."

"Alright!" Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said seriously: "I must take the main responsibility for this matter. If I hadn't been careless, Feng Qu wouldn't have died, and our Konoha wouldn't have suffered such damage."

Looking at the group of jonin, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and said solemnly: "After this period of reflection and review, I think that I am no longer suitable to be the Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen solemnly announced: "So, I have decided to abdicate and let the new generation of Hokage bring a new look to our Konoha!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the jonin in the conference room began to whisper to each other.

"Huruzen, you..." Mito Kado En looked shocked, as if he had just learned of Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision.

"Huruzen, you can't do that. You are now in your prime and have a lot of experience. You can't be careless..." Utane Koharu hastily advised.

"Yes, Hiruzen, you'd better think carefully. Under your leadership, Konoha has been full of talented people and is thriving over the years. You must not make a hasty decision!" Mito Kado En also spoke up to persuade.

"The advisor is right. Hokage-sama should be more cautious. After the war, our Konoha needs an experienced Hokage like you to take the helm..."

"That's right, that's right. The situation in the ninja world is changing rapidly right now. We can only feel at ease if we have a Hokage like you who is like a stabilizing force..."

In addition to the two of them, some other jonin also spoke up to dissuade them.

Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Akira and others watched all this calmly.

They know that what is happening now is just a formality.

This allowed Sarutobi Hiruzen to regain some face.

"Alright!" Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly, saying heavily, "This is a decision I made after careful consideration. In the current situation, we in Konoha need a young and strong Hokage!"

"Alas, Hiruzen you..." Mito Kado En sighed helplessly.

Utatane Koharu sighed and said, "Well, Hiruzen, since this is the decision you made after careful consideration, as friends we can only support your decision."

"So Hiruzen, who do you think is more suitable to be the Fifth Hokage in our village now?" she asked again.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath of smoke, and his serious voice came out from the smoke: "There are many people in Konoha Village who have this ability, but I think there are only two people who are most suitable to be the Fifth Hokage."

As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and looked at Uchiha Akira who was sitting next to Uchiha Fugaku with soft eyes. He said:

"The Uchiha clan's Uchiha Akira jonin had previously displayed his divine power on the battlefields of Kumogakure and Iwagakure, defeating them severely.

"The reason why we were able to win the war against Kumogakure and Iwagakure this time was largely due to Uchiha Akira Jonin! He deeply understood the Will of Fire of our Konoha and is an excellent inheritor of the Will of Fire."

"I think everyone agrees that Uchiha Akira is the candidate for the fifth Hokage?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the jonin in the conference room with a serious face.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, the conference room suddenly became noisy.

The jonin present were all whispering to each other.

They didn't seem surprised, it was natural for Uchiha Ming to be the candidate.

At this time in Konoha, in terms of strength and achievements, Uchiha Ming was the number one. It was unreasonable and unconvincing that he did not become a candidate.

On the Uchiha clan's side, everyone present looked excited and very happy.

The Uchiha clan's long-cherished wish is finally about to be realized in this generation.

Even Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but smile, although he was not the one who became Hokage, Uchiha Akira was still considered his disciple.

For Uchiha Ming, becoming Hokage was the fulfillment of a long-cherished wish in his heart.

"My burden has been lifted, and it's time for me to enjoy the rest of my life!" Uchiha Fugaku thought.

"Brother Ming is about to become Hokage, and he seems to be younger than the former Yondaime!" Uchiha Shisui admired in his heart.

He used to be very worried about the way the clan and the village got along, and believed that there was a huge gap and conflict between the village and the clan.

Now all problems have been solved. Uchiha Ming has become the Hokage, and all problems are no longer problems!

"The village will definitely reach the peak under the leadership of Brother Ming!" Uchiha Shisui thought to himself.

Mizutomon Yan spoke seriously, "Uchiha Ming Jonin has the ability and achievements. I, Mizutomon Yan, have no objection to him becoming the candidate for Hokage. I agree with him."

Utatane Koharu across from him also nodded in agreement and said, "I agree. At present, among us in Konoha, Uchiha Akira is the most qualified person to be the Hokage."

"Well, very good!" Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slowly after hearing what they said, and said in a deep voice, "In this case, I hereby propose that Uchiha Akira Jonin officially become one of the candidates for the fifth generation Hokage of our Konoha."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, Uchiha Akira stood up and said seriously: "If I, Uchiha Akira, can be elected Hokage, I will definitely lead Konoha to the true peak!"

"Very good!" Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction, then looked at everyone and asked, "As for the other candidate for the Fifth Hokage, what do you think of Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage?"

There can't be only one candidate for the election of Hokage, and this is not a time of crisis, so of course the normal election process must be followed.

The jonin present were no strangers to Tsunade. She was the granddaughter of the first Hokage and one of the famous three ninjas. She was extremely powerful and had superb medical ninjutsu. She was more than qualified to be Hokage.

Moreover, Tsunade's achievements are sufficient. Although they are much inferior to Uchiha Ming's current achievements, with the bonus of her ancestors' influence, there must be many people supporting Tsunade.

As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, the jonin present began to discuss in a low voice again.

"I don't object to what Lady Tsunade said. She trained many medical ninjas for our Konoha and established our Konoha's medical system. She made a great contribution to the village..."

"If it is Lady Tsunade, then we will naturally agree, but is Lady Tsunade willing to come back? The death of the grandson of the First Hokage was a huge blow to Lady Tsunade, causing her to be quite dissatisfied with the current village..."

"Since Hokage-sama said so, it means he is ready and must have convinced Tsunade-sama."

...

For a while, the voices of the jonins' discussions were endless.
