"Daytime."

Konoha, in the clan of the Sarutobi clan.

Today Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his work early and is waiting for him here.

Qífēng was not surprised when he saw his appearance.

"Uncle." faintly shouted.

He didn't call him Hokage, but used the blood relationship between them.

This is to remind Sarutobi Hiruzen that he has always been a member of the Sarutobi clan, is Sarutobi Hiruzen's nephew, and will not do anything against Konoha or Hokage.

really.

After hearing Qífēng's call, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes had a touch of complexity.

Sighed softly.

after all.

After all, it is still their own tribe, the future of their Sarutobi clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen can see that although his eldest son works very hard, his innate talent is not enough. The elite Jōnin may already be his limit.

The second son, Sarutobi Asuma, has a very good talent. Unfortunately, he is more rebellious by nature and not a hard worker.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already given up. After he passed away, he taught the Sarutobi clan to his eldest son. Konoha thought of his contribution, and the Sarutobi clan should not fall.

But now, the appearance of Qífēng, let him see the possibility of the Sarutobi clan continuing to flourish.

Suckling the pipe, letting the tobacco burn, the nicotine stimulated the lungs, and the white smoke drifted away at will.

After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen said leisurely: "During the day, do you want to be Hokage?"

Is it so straightforward?

Qífēng was stunned.

After returning to his senses, he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in surprise, but he couldn't see anything from his face.

After thinking about it carefully, he nodded and slowly said, "Hokage? Of course, this is probably the biggest wish of every Konoha Shinobi."

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could speak, Qífēng continued: "But wanting to return does not mean I am willing."

"Oh?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his brows, also a little surprised.

"why?"

Qífēng pressed his ankle, dragged his foot and worshiped in a more comfortable position.

"I'm not afraid of uncle, you say me, Hokage has taken on too many things, and the whole village is resisted by Hokage. If it is done well, it is natural. If it is not done well, it will become Konoha's sinner. too much stress."

Qífēng's words directly expressed Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice.

He is not like this.

At the beginning of Second Hokage, his teacher Senju Tobirama took them to Cloud Shinobi Village to sign an alliance, but on the way back, they were attacked and killed by the Golden Horn and Silver Horn troops of Cloud Shinobi Village, which eventually led to the death of Senju Tobirama.

Cloud Shinobi said lightly, the golden horn and silver horn are not controlled by Cloud Shinobi Village, so there is no longer any need to bear responsibility.

At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was in the unstable position of Hokage, had to rely on Danzo's power. The two talents worked together to guard Konoha, and through diligent development, stabilized the position of Konoha Shinobi's first hidden village.

And after that, it continued to develop and experienced the second Ninja World War, and now the third Ninja World War that is now facing.

God knows how much pressure he bears as Hokage.

It was precisely because of this pressure that he became fearful and hesitant in the later stage, for fear that Konoha would fall into his hands.

"Moreover." Qífēng said again: "I know I am not Hokage's material, so I can fight and let me manage a village without so much energy."

Are you the same person as Jiraiya?

The figure of Jiraiya flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.

He also asked Jiraiya about this question. Jiraiya's answer is almost exactly the same as Qífēng. He wants to be Hokage, but he doesn't want to be Hokage. He wants to collect materials freely, but if Konoha needs it, he is obliged to do so.

"Then Qífēng who do you think is suitable for Hokage?"

Now that we have talked about this, Sarutobi Hiruzen is going to have a complete showdown with Qífēng today.

"Hokage..." Qífēng rubbed his chin.

"The voice of Lord Orochimaru in the village is the highest, and with Orochimaru's ability, it is enough to assume Hokage's position and responsibility."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, not surprising to his answer, after all, from the perspective of most Konoha Shinobi, Orochimaru is an excellent Hokage candidate in terms of strength and ability.

Before it was Hatake Sakumo.

It's just that Hatake Sakumo is dead.

"Anything else?" Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a puff of smoke, squinted his eyes and continued to ask.

"And..." Qífēng pondered slightly, "If there is any, I think Namikaze Minato is also a very good candidate."

"Oh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and stopped moving his hands. "Talk about it."

"I participated in two battles with Minato. His strength, abilities, and character are beyond doubt, and the praise of him in the village is also very high?" Qífēng said truthfully.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Qífēng's face for a long time, but didn't see anything unusual.

"What do you think of Danzo?"

"Elder Danzo?" Qífēng put on a somewhat exaggerated expression, "Elder Danzo, I don't know very well. After all, I don't have much contact with him. I don't think my ability and strength are weak, but there is just one thing..."

"what?"

"Elder Danzo should be about the same age as your uncle? If you choose Elder Danzo, why don't you continue uncle..."

Having said that, there is no need to continue.

"Then who do you think is the most suitable person in your heart?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was unmoved.

Qífēng pursed his lips, and solemnly said, "Minato."

The answer came out, and the two fell into peace again.

"Did you forget shogi during the day?" Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen broke the subject.

Hearing that, Qífēng scratched his head, "Uncle, you know, shogi...I have not been very good at it all the time, and most of the time is spent on cultivation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen is not surprised, nodded and said: "Come with me in the next set."

"All right......"

Qífēng anticipated the appearance of this chat, but the content of this chat was something that Qífēng did not expect.

There is no mention of Kirigakure, about the Seven Ninjas and the handling of the Seven Ninjas.

Instead, he talked about the position of Hokage.

and.

Qífēng, who doesn't know how to play shogi, accompanied Sarutobi Hiruzen to play a dozen or so shogi, but was killed by Sarutobi Hiruzen and turned his back on his back without leaving a piece of armour.

It seemed that the killing was good, Sarutobi Hiruzen was contented to go to sleep with his hands behind his back.

Before leaving.

Intentionally or unconsciously left a sentence, "The expression you just covered up is a bit deliberate, but I understand what you mean."

Sitting in the position, Qífēng savored Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words and the main content of the chat.

"Is it too obvious for Minato's optimism? Or is it too obvious for Danzo?"

Maybe both.

He smiled and shook his head, stood up, "There is nothing for me, but through this chat, Sarutobi Hiruzen should have resolved a lot of suspense in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart?"

Stretched, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and prepared to go back to sleep.

Only shortly after he left Sarutobi Hiruzen's house.

Suddenly, in the shadow of an alley corner, I saw a figure.

I couldn't help but smashed my mouth, "Hey, this night, why the village bosses have come to the door, don't you need to sleep?"

Looking at the figure, he joked slightly: "Did you say so? Elder Danzo?"

In the shadows, in the shadows, I saw that the figure was wrapped in a bandage on his face, and there was an obvious fork-shaped mark on his chin.
