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

After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke up and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Koharu, 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..." Mito Menyan was stunned. He didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to have this attitude.

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

"Moreover, we have lost the people's hearts now, and people's hearts are fickle. With this war, Uchiha Ming's reputation has far surpassed me, and even above the original Minato!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he walked to the window and looked at the bustling streets below.

"We can't stop him from taking the throne, this is an open conspiracy!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice came faintly.

Mitomon Yan opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he couldn't say anything, just sighed helplessly.

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

"Listen, the residents of the village have already automatically built momentum for Uchiha Ming, and they also think that I, the old Hokage, should abdicate..." Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of the battlefield window, his face full of powerlessness.

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

As a powerful Kage-level existence, his five senses are extremely strong, and he can naturally hear the words on the street below.

"In this war, the Sandaime has not achieved anything, but has even held 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 Akira is very good and powerful..."

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

"Speaking of which, the Sandaime is also responsible for the previous border defense force incident..."

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

This is the general trend and cannot be avoided.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Did you see? This is the general trend of the village now~"

"Huruzen..."

Utatane Koharu hummed 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 generation Hokage of our Konoha!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a firm voice.

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 general trend.

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

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

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

Uchiha Fugaku sat in the chairman's chair, opposite to him was Uchiha Mikoto 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 rich and exquisite dishes.

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

After seeing Uchiha Guang's completed Susanoo, he had already despaired.

"Yes, thanks to Brother Ming, otherwise we would be finished. Who would have thought that there would be such a thing as the completed Susanoo!" Uchiha Shisui sighed.

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

"Speaking of which, after this war, Ming, you will soon become Hokage!" 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 was also surprised.

Although Uchiha Itachi was not very old, he was very mature and knew what Hokage meant.

He was the supreme leader of Konoha and the person standing at the top of the ninja world.

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

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

Uchiha Itachi's face straightened and he nodded gently: "I understand, father. I will work hard in the future and strive to become a real strong man."

"Don't be too strict with Itachi. It's not good to put too much pressure on children." Uchiha Ming shook his head and 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 third Hokage must abdicate. He cannot escape the responsibility for the annihilation of the 3,000 border guards by Kumogakure. As the Hokage, he must be responsible no matter what."

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

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

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

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and said, "I hope so. After all, he is the Hokage. If things get too awkward, it will destroy 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 say this." Uchiha Ming shook his head.

"It's not too early. You really should think about what you want to do after you become the 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 keep our expectations." Uchiha Mikoto smiled.

"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 did not have obvious beard-like textures on his face like Uzumaki Naruto. It seems that the Nine-Tails in his body is just a split.
