Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

The daimyo stared blankly at the rope tree, remembering the man who suppressed the entire ninja world with his wooden escape, and swallowed hard.

"Since you have awakened the Wood Release, it should be a legitimate thing to inherit the position of Hokage left by the first generation. Why do you need to make such a joke with me?"

The Fire Country Daimyo glanced at everyone present, with a look of dumbfounding on his face.

In his view, it is natural for a son to inherit his father's legacy. Now that the Wood Release of the Senju clan has a new successor, it is only natural for Sarutobi Hiruzen to return power to the Senju!

After all, he inherited the position of Hokage from Senju Tobirama as a disciple of the Senju family, didn't he?

Naoki didn't want to explain too much to this simple-minded daimyo, so he stated his request straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about these matters. Let the ninja handle the ninja's affairs."

"I just need to get the title of Hokage from the Daimyo, so that I can legitimately become the fourth Hokage of Konoha!"

The daimyo thought for a moment and realized that there might be some bad blood between Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Senju clan.

"I want to replace Sarutobi Hiruzen as Hokage, and I also want to get the canonization legitimately, so as to maintain the reputation of the Senju clan, so to speak..."

His mind turned quickly, and the daimyo suddenly understood the importance of his identity in the game of being the Hokage, and he suddenly felt confident.

"Shenshu-kun is indeed a young talent. He has such strength at a young age. There is a successor to the Thousand-Hand Clan!"

"Ha ha!"

The daimyo laughed and praised the rope tree.

Suddenly the conversation changed and he said:

"But..."

"The position of Hokage cannot be achieved by strength alone!"

"Although Sarutobi Hiruzen made some mistakes, Konoha has prospered under his leadership."

"If Naoki-kun doesn't have a decisive reason, I'm afraid it might be a little difficult to replace Sarutobi Hiruzen as Hokage!"

Naoki looked at the pretentious daimyo and sneered in his heart.

Youyou opened her mouth and said something.

"Konoha's annual funding needs to be halved, and in addition..."

"The Wedge Real Estate Chamber of Commerce will provide 50 million in living expenses to the Daming Mansion every year, plus personal protection from the Uchiha clan ninjas!"

The daimyo's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and he almost couldn't help but speak immediately to accept the reason given by the rope tree.

But greed is a common problem among humans, always wanting more.

"Well……"

"After all, the third generation has been in office for many years and has worked hard, but I really can't bear it..."

Naoki's face darkened slightly, interrupting the daimyo's words.

"Konoha will send medical ninjas to the capital of the Land of Fire to provide the best medical services to everyone."

The Daimyo of the Fire Country touched his fat belly, thinking about the soreness and pain in his back when he got up from the gentle village every morning, his face suddenly became a little emotional.

"Um……"

"actually……"

But greed has no limits. The more you give in, the more your desires will push you further.

Shengshu's eyes turned cold, and his murderous intent instantly broke out.

"or……"

"We, the Thousand Hands Clan, will re-elect a daimyo for the Country of Fire!"

The cold murderous aura sent chills all over the pampered daimyo and noble officials. The daimyo of the Fire Country trembled with teeth and looked at the rope tree in horror.

"He's serious!"

Naoki looked at the daimyo coldly, his aura slowly rising.

It seemed that as long as he shook his head and refused, a thunderous strike would come in an instant.

"I accept!"

"Sarutobi Hiruzen is indeed not a qualified Kage. On behalf of all the nobles of the Land of Fire, I am willing to recommend Mr. Nawaki to take over as the Fourth Hokage!"

The Daimyo of the Fire Country spoke in panic, and at the same time, he kept gesturing to all the noble officials with his eyes.

At the critical moment of life and death, these nobles still have the grace of the past, and they continue to echo the famous names of the Fire Country.

"right!"

"I am also willing to put pressure on Hiruzen Sarutobi and recommend Mr. Nawaki to take over as the Fourth Hokage!"

The murderous intention on Naoshu disappeared instantly, and a gentle smile appeared on his face again.

"Wise choice!"

…

Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was holding his pipe in his mouth and sitting on the chair worriedly.

"Danzo should have already taken action, right?"

"If Nagato of Amegakure Village grows up, he may indeed become a serious problem for Konoha!"

"I wonder if Jiraiya will blame me, ugh!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart when he thought of his two disciples, Orochimaru and Tsunade, who were drifting away from him.

"Why can't you understand the teacher's difficulties as a Hokage?"

"Everything I did was just to make Konoha stronger!"

"If Jiraiya turns into Orochimaru because of Nagato's incident, then I..."

"But I'm really alone!"

After sighing in his heart for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes suddenly fell on the photos placed on the table.

Looking at Asma's happy little face in the photo, a kind smile appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.

"Asuma, you have to grow up to be an excellent ninja like your brother!"

"Jiraiya's disciple is just a civilian ninja. My father will train him to be an obedient successor."

"When you grow up, you can successfully take over the precious wealth that your father left for you!"

"When the time comes, your brother will be in charge of the ANBU, and the entire Sarutobi clan will assist you."

"You can definitely become a better Hokage than me!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes became distant, and he was silently planning Asuma's future in his heart.

"Hokage-sama!"

"His Majesty the Daimyo sent someone to invite you to the conference room. He said that he wanted to discuss something with you!"

An Anbu suddenly appeared in the Hokage's office, interrupting Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts.

Sarutobi Hiruzen came to his senses, put down the photo in his hand, and turned his gaze to the ANBU, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Daimyo?"

"Didn't he leave Konoha and return to the capital? Why did he appear in Konoha's conference room?"

"Did the Daimyo say they were there to discuss something?"

Anbu shook his head.

"My subordinates don't know!"

Sarutobi thought silently for a while, but couldn't think of any clue.

"Who are the ANBU captains and squad leaders here?"

Anbu thought about it and replied:

"Only Lord White Fang is here!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

"Go and invite Sakumo over, and go with me to meet with His Excellency the Daimyo."

"yes!"

Watching the ANBU leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly.

The eldest son went out to find a suitable chakra transmission weapon for Asuma but has not returned, and his old friend Danzo has not returned either.

Koharu and Mito Kadoyan were embarrassed, and the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly tribes seemed to rarely come to the Hokage Tower to report on the situation recently.

After much deliberation, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly realized that except for Hatake Sakumo, he was actually in a situation where no one could help him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Why exactly is this?"
