Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 676: Wear more clothes when it’s cold
After the meeting, Mu Yue wanted to return to her office, but was stopped by Sarutobi Hiruzen and taken to the Hokage's office.

"I lost the battle with Sosuke." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

"Sosuke's strength far exceeds my imagination. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest ninja in the current ninja world."

Although Mu Yue had a record of severely injuring the Kazekage with one punch, and could also use the Wooden Man Technique to a height of over sixty meters, he was still quite far from being able to reach the level of Hashirama Senju.

And Sosuke gave Sarutobi Hiruzen the feeling that he was very close to a legendary ninja like Senju Hashirama.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks that the strongest person in the ninja world now is Sosuke, not Mu Yue.

"I'm sorry, I was impulsive this time. I should have listened to your advice."

As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a guilty look.

For Sarutobi Hiruzen, this was not just a defeat, but also a major mistake in development strategy.

If Sosuke was not provoked, Konoha would be able to smoothly digest the results of the victory in the Third Ninja World War, while also allowing Mu Yue to develop safely.

"Since it has already happened, let's keep looking forward. If you insist on saying it's wrong, then we, the top leaders, can't avoid it. If we insist a little longer and are tougher, maybe the result will be different." Mu Yue comforted.

This time he did attack very ruthlessly. Although he did not leave any irreparable injuries to Sarutobi Hiruzen's body, it is very likely that he left some psychological trauma on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen is one of the top strongest men in the current ninja world. He was defeated without even touching his clothes after using all his strength. You can imagine how frustrated he felt.

Seeing Mu Yue's emotional words and expression without any trace of acting, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel moved.

Even for Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, two old comrades who grew up with him, Sarutobi Hiruzen could feel that there was some resentment in their hearts.

Of course, he was indeed wrong in this matter, so Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think there was anything wrong with Mito Kado En.

But everything is afraid of comparison. Although they are both senior executives and both are persuaders, Mu Yue can take the initiative to share the blame and comfort him.

"Although his strength is no weaker than mine, he still remembers my teachings in the past." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart.

Mu Yue is so reliable, he really remembers the favors you have done him.

"I lost, but I also found out some information about Sosuke." Then Sarutobi Hiruzen told Mu Yue some details of the battle.

"He has a technique that can create a shield that can protect the whole body. It can resist both physical and ninjutsu attacks, but there should be an upper limit. When I performed the Five Elements Great Link Bullet, he used other means to eliminate my ninjutsu."

Mu Yue looked like she was listening, nodding from time to time.

Just using unlimited spells to create an insurmountable "infinity" around you can be understood as a shield, and it is indeed not unbreakable.

However, it’s not that he can’t block the Five Elements Great Chain Bullet, he just wants to use the Lesser Bikon to further increase the sense of oppression.

To break the limit, the Five Escapes Great Link Bomb is not enough, the Dao Seeking Jade or the Six Paths Immortal Technique is more appropriate.

"Muyue, don't leave the village until the election is over," Sarutobi Hiruzen warned.

Although Sosuke is powerful, there are also many strong people in their Konoha. If they unite, they may be able to compete with Sosuke. After all, Sosuke has limited chakra.

If Mu Yue leaves the village, the risk will be great.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't dare to gamble whether Sosuke would take action. Sosuke letting him come back didn't mean that Sosuke would let Mu Yue go.

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen will not pose a threat to Sosuke, and as Mu Yue continues to grow, it is not certain who will be stronger and who will be weaker.

This guess made Sarutobi Hiruzen think that Sosuke let them back in order to paralyze Konoha and let Konoha relax its vigilance.

Mu Yue nodded. Anyway, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't know if he left.

The unlimited spell is quite useful for long distance travel. The consumption is not too exaggerated and the distance can be very long.

When it comes to traveling long distances, Mu Yue is willing to call the Unlimited Technique the strongest, far surpassing the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"By the way, there will be an exclusive interview with you in the Konoha newspaper soon. You can prepare in advance." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

In fact, it is not available now. It will only be available after Sarutobi Hiruzen gives the next order.

But this is not important. As a hero of Konoha in the Third Ninja World War, it is reasonable for Mu Yue to be interviewed by the Konoha Newspaper. It has nothing to do with Mu Yue being nominated as the Fourth Hokage.

Mu Yue thanked him and left the Hokage's office, going to her own office to work.

Watching Mu Yue leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen silently took out his pipe, lit it, took a deep breath and exhaled a light white mist, showing a relieved expression.

After a few minutes, Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered himself and continued to handle official business. Before the official handover, he was still the Hokage.

When it was time to get off work, Sarutobi Hiruzen returned home on time.

At this time, Asuma had just returned from training in the training ground and was lying on a chair in the living room.

"You're back." Asuma turned his head and said.

"Yeah." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in response and took off the Hokage's hat and put it away.

The two didn't communicate much afterwards.

Asuma didn't have much to say to Sarutobi Hiruzen, but Sarutobi Hiruzen had something to say but couldn't say it right now.

During dinner, Sarutobi Hiruzen took the initiative to talk to Sarutobi Biwako about his recent work.

"I have finally had some free time recently. In the past few days, I have been busy evaluating and discussing various ninjas who have made significant contributions to Konoha. The meetings have never stopped."

"It's good when you're done with your work. You're not young anymore. You need to focus on resting and not overwork yourself."

"I can't help it. I am the Hokage after all. I have to personally check on such an important matter. I will be busy for a while and I still have to contact the Daimyo."

When Asuma, who had been eating in silence, heard the word "daimyo", he couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

The daimyo does not interfere in the affairs of the ninja village, so even Asuma rarely hears anything about the daimyo from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"What kind of important matter could it be that requires continuous high-level meetings and contacting the daimyo?" Asuma was curious.

Asuma was a man with strong mobility, so he asked directly:
"What a big deal, it's so troublesome."

"Eat quietly, your level is not high enough to know this." Sarutobi Hiruzen did not answer Asuma's question.

And after Asuma asked, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped talking and focused on eating.

Asuma felt puzzled, and even though he knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen was telling the truth, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Why do you have to say that his level is not good enough?

Even if his rank is not high enough, he is Sarutobi Hiruzen's child. Isn't he trustworthy?
"Not young, evaluating ninjas, contacting daimyo..."

After the meal, Asuma kept recalling Sarutobi Hiruzen's words at the dinner table.

"Could it be that the election for the Fourth Hokage is really about to begin!" A flash of inspiration crossed Asuma's mind, connecting everything together.

Sarutobi Hiruzen denied the succession yesterday, but Asuma felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen might not have told the truth to his inquiry.

On the contrary, the complaints and rants at the dinner table just now were more credible. And yesterday, Sarutobi Hiruzen also let slip that Mu Yue might not have so much time to see him in the future.

The more Asuma thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and the more excited he became.

He looked around, put the Hokage hat that Sarutobi Hiruzen had placed on the shelf into the scroll, and left home.

Since the old man spoke to him so harshly, it wouldn't be too much for him to borrow his hat for a while.

"Why did you take away my Hokage hat?" Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out speechlessly.

He just wanted to give Asuma a hint, let Asuma know about this matter, and then bring this matter to Mu Yue.

Mu Yue already knew that she was going to be nominated, but Asuma didn't know that Mu Yue knew it.

In the public's impression, the nomination for the Hokage election is something that will be announced by the Hokage at the Jonin Conference.

This concerns the position of Hokage. Even though Mu Yue already knows this information, and even though Mu Yue can guess that this was the deliberate result of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mu Yue will still have a better impression of Asuma.

Because no matter what, Asma was unaware of it. From Asma's perspective, he was taking a risk by informing Mu Yue in advance.

How can a teacher not have a better impression of such a student who is so devoted to him/her?

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not ask Mu Yue to train Asuma to be very strong. It was enough for him to have the level of the Fourth Kazekage, which was enough to lead the Sarutobi clan to continue to prosper and develop.

……

After leaving home, Asma went directly to his home in the main city of Muyue.

After knocking on the door and walking in, Asuma discovered that Obito and Shisui were also at Muyue's house.

Shisui seemed to be asking Mu Yue a question, while Obito was talking to an unknown onion-headed creature with wings.

"Teacher Mu Yue, good evening." Asuma greeted everyone one by one.

"Well, come and sit down." Mu Yue greeted with a smile.

"excuse me."

"No need to bother you. It just so happens that Shisui and the others have finished asking their questions."

Shisui came to Muyue to ask for help with some of the Uchiha clan's questions.

Obito met Shisui in the Uchiha clan's territory, and he happened to have some theoretical questions to ask Mu Yue, so they came together.

Asuma did not walk over to the chair and sit down, but walked behind Mu Yue, then took out the Hokage hat from the scroll and put it on Mu Yue's head.

"Teacher Mu Yue, it's getting cold. It's time to wear a hat." Asuma said seriously.

Mu Yue had a subtle expression. What was he going to do? Was he going to support him in asking the Third Hokage to abdicate?

"Hokage hat!"

Obito's eyes widened and he looked at Mu Yue excitedly. He subconsciously took out his camera and took a picture of Mu Yue.

Snapped!Snapped!
The next moment, two transparent energy streams hit Asuma and Obito on the head.

Then Mu Yue took off the Hokage's hat. He didn't have any obsession with the Hokage.

"Asuma, where did you order it? It's exactly the same hat as the one the Hokage is wearing." Obito asked curiously, touching his head skillfully.

When he was taking his graduation photo, he always wanted to take a photo wearing this kind of hat, but unfortunately there was no one exactly the same, not even a high-quality imitation.

"Haha, who knows? I picked it up." Asma said perfunctorily with a laugh.

This is not exactly the same, because this is what Sarutobi Hiruzen usually wears on his head.

Shisui had a thoughtful expression.

Custom made? Which clothing store would dare to make this thing? It looks exactly like the real Hokage hat.

Considering Asuma's identity, Shisui felt that this should be the real Hokage hat.

Asuma picked up the Hokage hat and put it into the scroll. Although he was angry, he didn't really want to give the hat to Mu Yue right now. He thought he would put it back after returning home.

Seeing Asuma hesitate to speak, Mu Yue said to Obito and Shisui:

"There are some materials I usually organize upstairs. You can go and take a look."

Asuma obviously had something he wanted to say to him, but was a little hesitant because of Shisui and Obito's presence.

Mu Yue could understand this. Asuma and Obito were just good friends, not a long-term life-and-death relationship like that between Kakashi and Obito.

"Teacher Mu Yue, that's not necessary." Asuma thought about it and decided to directly tell Sarutobi Hiruzen's words and his speculation.

Because the matters involved were so important, Asuma initially wanted to let as few people know about it as possible.

But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that Obito and Shisui were not unknown people in the village and could help Mu Yue in the election.

Moreover, given Obito and Shisui's personalities, it is impossible for them to betray Mu Yue and leak the information.

"The Fourth Hokage!" Obito's eyes sparkled.

If the invincible Mu Yue Shengren were to become Hokage, Konoha would surely take off.

"Asuma just said that there is a possibility of being nominated. Why do you say it as if he has already succeeded to the throne?" Mu Yue knocked on Obito's head again.

"This is just trust in you." Obito said with a laugh.

Shisui nodded in his heart. With Mu Yue's current reputation in Konoha, the probability of him becoming Hokage was very high.

As for the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze in the original history, his current popularity is completely incomparable to Mu Yue.

"If Aunt Tsunade is also nominated, the final result will be hard to say, but we can start preparing now and gain the upper hand when the time comes," Asuma said.

This is the purpose of his coming. If he had known the information in advance and started preparing, he would have been well prepared to compete for votes to the greatest extent possible.

Of all the possible contenders, Asuma feared Tsunade the most.

Because Tsunade has too many buffs. She is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, the most orthodox existence in Konoha, and also the disciple of his old man.

In addition, as the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world, Tsunade has treated a large number of ninjas and various officials and nobles, and her network of contacts is also very terrifying.

Tsunade did not participate much in the Third Ninja World War, but she made great contributions in the Second Ninja World War.

A series of factors combined together led to Tsunade being no less successful than Mu Yue in the election.

"How about hiding a stone with 'Konoha Xing, Mu Yueying' engraved on it in the fish's body." Obito said excitedly.

"We can hold a class reunion, contact the students who were previously taught by Teacher Mu Yue, and integrate everyone's strength to help Teacher Mu Yue." This was Shisui's idea.
