The Sword of Konoha Overwhelms the World

Chapter 239 The Fourth Hokage!

After that day, for three consecutive days, Nanfeng Qiuyu did not meet Tsunade, and Tsunade seemed to have disappeared.

Of course, Nanfeng Qiuyu knew that Tsunade was not missing, but he changed his house and stayed in his home all day long, never coming out.

Nanfeng Qiuyu was not in a hurry, and took the initiative to ask at the door. He did have a good impression of Tsunade, but who doesn't like beautiful women?However, from appearing in this world to now, Nanfeng Qiuyu has always put more energy on vacation. For Nanfeng Qiuyu, the slight increase in strength is also very refreshing!

Days passed by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye, and the competition for the position of Hokage gradually came to an end. There were countless open and secret battles, and Namikaze Minato's support rate gradually surpassed Danzo, but in the end it did not surpass Orochimaru, but the two sides were already very close up.

This means that if there is no accident, the fourth Hokage must be Orochimaru. After all, Orochimaru has the highest support rate. Generally speaking, Hokage is also the one with the highest recommendation support rate, but there are accidents in the world, right?
I'm afraid even Orochimaru himself didn't expect that the third Hokage let the apprentice not choose, but choose the disciple and grandson instead.

……

In the early morning, the mist was hazy, and outside the Konoha Gate, the Third Hokage personally led people out of Konoha Village and went to the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire to perform the indispensable ceremony in the handover of Hokage.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire is nominally the supreme ruler of the Land of Fire. Although in fact, in terms of military power, the daimyo of the Land of Fire is far inferior to Konoha Village, but due respect, superficial respect is still necessary. , Naruto's candidate also needs the approval of the daimyo.

This is just a ceremony, and the most important thing to determine the position of Hokage is the opinion of the previous Hokage.

Seeing the departure of the Three Hokages, Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Fugaku, and Hinata Japanese looked very bad, and they felt that they were basically hopeless.

Orochimaru has no expression on his face, and no one knows what he is thinking; Minato is smiling, with a kind and sunny smile on his face, looking very open-minded and optimistic.

In fact, Minato is very open-minded and optimistic. He doesn't know that the third Hokage is most interested in him, but he did his best in this battle of Hokage. Even if it doesn't work this time, he will work harder next time until he becomes Hokage. one day.

In Minato's heart, he never felt that he would be able to become Hokage this time. After all, there was Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas in his prime, who had already become famous and made outstanding achievements. He is also in his prime at a young age, but in comparison, he has no advantage.

In the early morning farewell, Nanfeng Qiuyu didn't come, and he was not a Hokage, and he didn't need to have a good relationship with the new Hokage. Even if there was an accident, the position of Hokage was someone else, and he needed to rely heavily on him.

His strength and influence have passed the stage where he needs to flatter the leader, and if he goes to see him off, it will be a waste of his morning practice time.

……

The distance between Konoha Village and the Daming Mansion of the Fire Country is not too far. Both Konoha and the Daming Mansion are located in the hinterland of the Fire Country.

The three generations of Hokage had already issued an official document before they left, so they were warmly received when they arrived at the Daming Mansion in the Land of Fire. Konoha Hokage has a high status in the Land of Fire. On the surface, it seems that they are subordinates of the daimyo, but in fact they are equals. Naturally No, and I dare not neglect.

After the third Hokage rested for a day, dressed, washed, and had a meal in the morning, he followed others to the palace of the Daimyo of the Fire Country. In fact, it is a palace, but it is more like a mansion. It is not as grand, luxurious, and majestic as imagined!

Inside the palace, the Fire Country daimyo was wearing daimyo costumes, holding a folding fan painted with the Fire Country logo and sitting behind a heavy desk, watching the Three Hokages enter the palace with a smile on his face. On both sides of the palace stood the Fire Country ministers of state.

The fire country daimyo is the one in the original book, but compared to when he appeared in the original book, he is much younger at this time.

After the three generations of Hokage saluted, they were given a seat, and after exchanging pleasantries, they began to enter today's topic.

The Third Hokage took out a scroll, handed it out, and naturally someone sent it to the Fire Nation Daimyo.

"Daimyo-sama, this scroll records the appearance, support rate, personality and other information of each candidate of Hokage. Please read it."

The fire country daimyo nodded, took the handed over information and muttered in a low voice: "Oshemaru, Namikaze Minato, Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Fugaku, Hinata Hinata."

Immediately afterwards, the daimyo carefully read the information on the scroll, and quickly read the information, closed the scroll, and the fire country daimyo said lightly: "Master Hokage, why is there no Nanfeng Qiuyu who is known as the Konoha Sword Saint?" Ah, I heard that he is the number one in this ninja war!"

"This is because he gave up the competition for the position of Hokage and automatically abstained."

"He said he was still young, and the position of Hokage was of great importance. He felt that he was not competent, so he gave up the position of Hokage and wanted to become a consultant to assist Hokage." Third Hokage said unhurriedly.

"Is that so..."

"He is a very smart person who knows how to advance and retreat. I think Hokage-sama is more than enough to be a consultant based on this alone."

"Don't worry, my lord, I have agreed to his request."

"Hmm... Hokage-sama, in my opinion, the people in the scroll are all good, but the best candidate should be Orochimaru, Namikaze Minato."

"One is a veteran strongman, one of the three ninjas; the other is an emerging strongman, yellow flash, both famous in the ninja world, and the support rate of the two is also the two highest."

"They are all disciples and grandchildren of Lord Hokage, which one does Lord Hokage think is better?"

"Both are indeed very good, but if you have to compare, I think Minato is more suitable to become the fourth generation of Hokage."

"Oshemaru is too indifferent and gloomy. Although his ability is very good, he doesn't have the affinity and appeal of Minato. What Hokage needs more is a person who makes people feel close."

"Of course, Minato's abilities are no worse than Orochimaru's. I believe he can bring Konoha to a better future!"

The three generations of Hokage have said so, so naturally everyone understands the meaning of the three generations of Hokage.

"Since that's the case, then I naturally believe in Hokage-sama's vision, let him alone, Namikaze Minato!"

"He is the Fourth Hokage, and the program will go away immediately."

"Thank you daimyo-sama!" Third Hokage said with a smile on his wrinkled eye corners, his goal had been achieved.

……

After the procedure was completed, the Third Hokage took people back immediately without any delay. After returning to Konoha Village, all the backbone ninjas immediately fought, took out the edict of the daimyo and a series of certificates, and announced that Namikaze Minato became the fourth Hokage. He will complete the handover within a week and then abdicate!
When the news was announced, some people were happy, some were worried, those who supported Minato were overjoyed, while the rest of the supporters had indifferent faces, some smiled, and some looked indifferent.
Namikaze Minato was naturally smiling, Nanfeng Qiuyu looked at the faces of the other candidates playfully, Danzo's face was gloomy and ugly as if dead mother, Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Japanese was depressed with anger, with a hint of disbelief , Orochimaru looked indifferent, seemingly indifferent...
