"Tsunade? Alas, you don't know something. She just didn't faint due to overexertion."

"Tsunade's brother and lover both died in the Second Ninja War, and she also suffered from hemophobia."

"That's why I didn't send Tsunade on the battlefield during the war."

"In addition, Tsunade's personality is too out-of-touch and she likes gambling, so she cannot take on the important role of Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very organized, and it seemed that the only person who knew his disciples was his master.

"What about Jiraiya-sama?" Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi did not insist on being Hokage, and rejected Tsunade's proposal, Che knew Hiruzen Sarutobi's intention, so he continued to ask questions in a very cooperative manner.

"Jiraiya has a character that is, to put it mildly, bold and bold. In fact, he is lacking in strength, careless in doing things, and regardless of the consequences. Coupled with his lazy temperament, he cannot be the Hokage at all."

"Besides, Jiraiya has done a lot of dirty things like spying on women's bathhouses in the village. How can I trust him to hand over the position of Hokage to him? No, no, no."

Che proposed another candidate, "Where's Lord Orochimaru?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a hesitant look this time, but quickly said no.

"Orochimaru has a withdrawn personality and has a bad reputation in the village. He also likes to stay in the laboratory and do his research. He cannot take on the important responsibility of Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did have high expectations for Orochimaru in the past, because Orochimaru had a ninjutsu talent similar to Sarutobi Hiruzen, was proficient in the Five Release Ninjutsu, and was known as a genius who had been seen once in decades.

But unfortunately, Orochimaru later grew crooked, started to study some weird techniques, and became more and more withdrawn, and got very close to Danzo.

If not, how could the position of the Fourth Hokage fall on Namikaze Minato?

Che suggested another name, "Sir Danzo Shimura might be able to take on this important task."

Sarutobi Hiruzen choked at the name, and then decisively refused: "No, Danzo's character is too dark, he does things unscrupulously, and we cannot let him get involved in the position of Hokage."

Che sneered in his heart: "It turns out that you are also aware of these actions of Danzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said: "Alas, Konoha is so big that it is impossible to choose a suitable successor to the Hokage."

Che heard the words and said: "It is better to let the third generation continue to be Hokage."

"Okay, then I will take this position temporarily and wait until you, the future of Konoha, grow up and then hand over the position of Hokage to you."

"I will hold a Jonin meeting tomorrow. The decision on the Hokage position cannot be delayed."

Che nodded and said, "I understand."

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Che walked to the Hokage's house, where Sarutobi Hiruzen lived.

"Che, you are my most promising talent. You must grow up well. Konoha will not treat you badly in the future. When the time comes, I may even give you the position of Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood at the door and said to Che.

"It is my duty to contribute to Konoha. As for the position of Hokage, it is naturally decided by the Hokage and the people of Konoha. I dare not covet it."

Che still said that he had no idea about the position of Hokage.

"It's not that you will be recognized by everyone if you become Hokage, but you can become Hokage by being recognized by everyone."

"Old man, I relied on some merits and qualifications to gain everyone's approval before I could become Hokage."

"As long as you get everyone's approval, why can't I give you the position of Hokage?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Che meaningfully, with both hope and fear.

Che didn't reply and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen silently.

"Okay, you have worked hard too. This journey can be regarded as a journey that you have walked with me, a lonely old man. Thank you."

"You're welcome, I'll leave now." Che returned to his smile and said goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Che parted ways, both of them somewhat fearful of the other.

The real attitude of the two is far from being as harmonious as it appears on the surface.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was wary of Che's strength and Uchiha's background, while Che was wary of the prestige brought about by Sarutobi Hiruzen's years of rule.

Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't see any ambitions in Che at the moment, he just felt that this boy was not simple.

Even if he was worried that Che would threaten his position in the future, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not risk a conflict with Che.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Che was as powerful as or even surpassed the tailed beasts.

The next day, the Jonin meeting was held in the Hokage building.

There are four main seats at the front, seated respectively by Koharu Koharu, Mito Kaden, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.

The many Konoha Jonin below were all standing, and there were a few familiar faces inside.

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Che of the Uchiha clan.

Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi of the Hyuga clan.

Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Kaiichi from the three Inarakacho families.

As the leader of the Jonin class, Shikaku mentioned the purpose of this Jonin meeting on behalf of the Jonin class.

"The main purpose of this Jonin meeting is to find the candidate to be the fifth Hokage. Let's speak freely. Do you have any candidates you can recommend?"

Everyone fell into silence for a while, smart people knew that the successor of Hokage was definitely a sensitive topic.

However, there will still be some stupid green jounin who will propose their own candidates.

"I think Tsunade-sama can be the fifth generation."

"But Tsunade-sama has left this morning. She said she is not interested in the position of Hokage."

"What about Jiraiya-sama?"

"Jiraiya-sama came to Konoha to mourn the fourth generation couple and then left the village."

"Where is Orochimaru-sama?"

"Lord Orochimaru hasn't appeared for a long time."

"By the way, Che Uchiha can be the fifth generation. He has the white-haired Demon Eye."

"He is an Uchiha! And he is only fourteen years old. It is too unsafe for him to become Hokage."

Everyone debated for a long time but couldn't find a candidate who could convince everyone.

Che and his group, who were standing at the front, never spoke.

Seeing that no one had come up with a suitable candidate, Shikaku asked the four senior executives, "I wonder if the Third Generation Master and several advisors have any suitable recommendations?"

Seeing this, Danzo couldn't hold it any longer and was about to stand up and offer himself up.

Come to think of it, he has served as Konoha's top advisor and leader of the Root Organization for such a long time. He is simply the Executive Deputy Hokage.

And now he is finally going one step further.

But just when Danzo was excited about this, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up first.

"I am willing to take on this important responsibility. When the next Hokage grows up, he will only treat me as a transitional person."

Several people next to Sarutobi Hiruzen looked sideways.

"Sarutobi, you are really getting stronger with age." Koharu had no objection to this. In her opinion, instead of letting a young man become Hokage, it would be better to let this old friend take over.

"Hahahahaha!" Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed happily.

Danzo Shimura was extremely angry.

He felt that he just suffered from slow reaction.

Originally, the position of the Third Hokage should have been his, but he was usurped by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As a result, he has now scored twice.

This almost made Danzo so angry that he vomited blood.
