Naruto, my uncle is going to be Hokage!

Chapter 75: Both the Raikage and the Hokage are sad, only the Uchiha is laughing wildly!

Konoha.

Hokage room.

With the cigarette holder in his mouth, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, passed it through his lungs, closed his eyes and savored it, and finally exhaled the smoke.

The wisps of smoke drifted in front of him.

The heaviness on his face did not ease at all.

In the past, this process of smoking cigarettes could always bring some comfort to his depressed nerves no matter how tense the moment was.

But now, it has rarely failed.

"The future..."

He looked out the window, in the direction of the battlefield in the Land of Grass, and sighed slightly.

This battle comes at a very bad time.

Konoha's current combat power is weak, and I'm afraid that Namikaze will be able to gain unprecedented reputation through this battle in the future.

There are also the Uchiha, that group of unruly ninjas, who will probably gain recognition from many ninjas in this battle.

Namikaze Mirai deliberately brought them to the battlefield, probably for this purpose.

But he knew it clearly, but he could do nothing about it.

Konoha now needs Namikaze Mirai and the fighting power of Uchiha.

He suddenly felt dazed.

The current Namikaze Mirai is just like Minato back then.

But the future is not Minato after all.

A hint of worry appeared in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

Namikaze Mirai was unruly, cruel and ruthless. Just because Danzo took Naruto away, he slaughtered the Root and killed him brutally.

If a person with such a temperament becomes Hokage, will there still be a place for them in Konoha?

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to see that happen, so he did his best to push Tsunade to become Hokage.

Thinking of Tsunade, Sarutobi Hiruzen's head began to hurt again.

Ever since she returned from the Uchiha clan's territory last time, Tsunade seemed like a different person, drifting further and further away from him.

He sent people to invite Tsunade many times, but failed to do so.

Even this time when the war broke out in the Hidden Cloud Village, Tsunade secretly went to the battlefield without telling him, wanting to do her part.

Nonsense!

Isn't this nonsense?

Tsunade hasn't recovered from her hemophobia yet. Even if she goes to the battlefield, how much of a role can she play?

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was feeling overwhelmed, the door of the Hokage's room was suddenly pushed open.

The scout-ninja walked in and placed a scroll on his desk.

"Hokage-sama, this is the latest battle situation on the front line, please take a look."

"Ah."

After nodding, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the scroll and glanced at it. He seemed to have aged a little, and his expression became more complicated.

Won.

After Namikaze Mirai arrived at the battlefield, the Konoha troops seemed to be on a roll and won victory after victory.

This time, the Hidden Cloud Village even dispatched two Jinchūriki.

However, they were still no match for Namikaze Mirai, and the Tailed Beast Ball was easily bounced away. The morale of the Cloud Ninjas was shaken, and they were forced to retreat.

With such a record, even Minato's performance back then was probably not as dazzling as this, right?

In the past few days, the villagers in Konoha heard news about the battlefield from somewhere, and the praises about Namikaze's future sprang up like mushrooms after rain, appearing everywhere in the village.

He has been secretly trying to stop this trend.

With little success.

All these events made Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turn even paler.

This scene was seen by the ninja who was presenting the information, and he began to grumble in his heart.

"Konoha won, shouldn't the Hokage be happy?"

"Why do you look like that?"

...Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen had a worried look on his face in the Hokage room, in the Raikage room of the Hidden Cloud Village, Ai, who was the Fourth Raikage at the time, also had a grim face as he looked at the information coming from the front line!
"Absurd! How ridiculous!"

"I have already sent Yumujin and Bidu, how can this battle still be fought like this? What on earth is Tutai doing?"

Ai was shaking with anger.

If it weren't for Dodai's extremely high seniority in the Hidden Cloud Village, he would have served as Enshin during his father's reign, with a status equal to that of Konoha's Danzo.

He even wanted to replace Tu Tai and choose someone else as the commander-in-chief of this war.

This battle was ridiculous.

Can you lose even if a Jinchūriki kicks you in the face?

"Lord Raikage, things are not that bad. Lord Dodai miscalculated in this battle and did not display his full strength."

"The two Jinchūriki were only transformed from wooden men into tailed beasts. The stronger Master Bee did not use his full strength. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Blue Flash alone to deflect two tailed beast balls at the same time."

Listen to the scout's explanation.

Ai Tieqing's expression gradually relaxed.

After calming down, he naturally understood the truth behind it.

Among all the tailed beasts, the Two-Tail is only at the bottom in terms of strength.

Although Namikaze Mirai can deflect the Two-Tail's Tailed Beast Ball, he may not be able to deflect the Eight-Tail's Tailed Beast Ball.

The Eight-Tails is the second most powerful of all the tailed beasts.

Even his father, the Third Raikage, the strongest person in history, could only use the Hell Stab to smash the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, but could not repel it away.

With two tailed beasts forming a formation, the advantage in this battle is still on the side of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Tutai's choice to retreat did not mean defeat, but a rational choice made after careful consideration to preserve overall strength.

Thinking of this, Ai's heart relaxed.

The scout beside him chose his words carefully.

"Lord Raikage, Lord Dodai emphasized in his reply that the standard equipment of the Kumo Ninja should be replaced. Please take a look."

The scout handed him another letter.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Ai's expression, which had just relaxed, turned pale again in an instant, as if he had swallowed a toad alive.

"Such a large quantity would cost so much money and manpower!"

There are more than 10,000 registered ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village, and more than a thousand ninjas sent to the battlefield in the Land of Grass.

Even if every Cloud Ninja only replaced a bone ninja sword and a stone kunai, it would still be a huge number.

However, Tutai's wording in this letter was extremely strong, and the words were written so sloppily and forcefully that they burst through the letter paper.

Ai could sense the reluctance and humiliation Tutai felt when he wrote the letter.

He took a deep breath.

The anger in my heart towards Namikaze Mirai rose to another level.

Gritting his teeth slightly.

"According to the requirements of this letter, find a craftsman to make it as quickly as possible."

……

The worries of the Hokage and the Raikage did not affect the cheers of the Konoha camp.

After repelling the attacks of the Hidden Cloud Village twice in a row, the emotions of the Konoha ninjas have reached a whole new level.

Walking in the camp, you can see exciting descriptions of the scene where Namikaze Mirai ejects the Tailed Beast Ball everywhere.

From the wording, it seems that Namikaze Mirai is already comparable to the Ninja God of that time.

When passing by the Uchiha tent, you can even hear the crazy laughter coming from inside.

The one who was happiest in this battle was Uchiha.

Since the head of the family displayed his Mangekyō, Susanoo powerfully knocked the Two-Tails away, and Namikaze Mirai easily deflected the Tailed Beast Ball. The combination of the two made Uchiha almost laugh to death.

This forced the ninjas passing by the Uchiha camp to speed up.

I was afraid of being grabbed by the shoulders by a group of Uchiha and told about their heroic deeds.

In such a relaxed atmosphere, Namikaze Mirai was rubbing her chin in the tent.

He had just learned that Tsunade was also in the camp.

Do you want……

Pull Tsunade into his room?
