The dead body of Tobirama was taken away by the Senju clan.

“What should we do?”.

After the Senju clan members left, Mito Kadokane looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and was a little worried about this close friend.

“In fact, he is more suitable for the position of Hokage than me. I want to give the position of Hokage to him.”

“Hiruzen, what nonsense are you talking about? We are the teacher’s disciples and should inherit the position of Hokage. Why should we give it to outsiders?”

“He is not an outsider. If he hadn’t been there, we might have died on the battlefield during the last turmoil in the Ninja World. Besides, he just saved our lives.”

“I don’t agree. He is just a Hokage advisor. What is he afraid of? Does he dare to betray the will of the Hokage and betray Konoha?”

Danzo looked at the indecisive Hiruzen angrily.

He began to hate him in his heart.

If he hadn’t hesitated, the position of Hokage should have been his.

Danzo clenched his fist unwillingly.

“But…”

“Okay, don’t think too much, arrange the teacher’s funeral first.”

“Yeah.”

Mito Kado En’s words made Sarutobi Hiruzen temporarily put aside this idea.

The next day, Konoha held a funeral for the second generation Hokage Tobirama.

This was a more grand funeral.

The sky seemed to feel the sad atmosphere, and it began to drizzle.

As if bidding farewell to the departure of a generation of genius.

Everyone let the rain hit them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Akimichi Tofu, Mito Kado En, Uchiha Kagami, and Utainen Koharu stood in front of everyone.

They cried very hard.

Hiruzen, Danzo, Tofu, Kagami, and Kado En once again fell into deep self-blame.

Nara Hikari, who was standing next to Utatane Koharu, hugged her gently and looked at Tobirama’s tombstone.

But he didn’t say anything.

If Tobirama hadn’t played politics with Nara Hikari, he might not have died.

If any one of Sakumo, Nishito, and Silapi had accompanied him to the capital of the Land of Fire.

Then this tragedy might not have happened.

Sakumo, Nishito, and Silapi have now all become super-shadow-level masters.

At this stage, there are not many people in the ninja world who can beat the three of them.

After the funeral, everyone left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was standing in front of the tombstone, looked at Nara Hikari’s back and wanted to speak.

But he was stopped by Danzo.

Danzo shook his head at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The grand and sad funeral ended with Sarutobi Hiruzen’s inauguration ceremony.

Because it was Hiruzen who was appointed as the Third Hokage by the Second Hokage Tobirama before his death.

Other families in Konoha Village could not say anything.

Of course, it was useless to say anything.

But there were still people who felt sorry for Nara Hikage.

Nara Hikage’s strength and contribution were beyond doubt.

He led 500 people to repel the 10,000-strong army of the Hidden Cloud Village and successfully defeated the Second Raikage.

He made the Four Great Nations temporarily cease fire.

Then he led 5,000 people to repel the coalition forces of the Four Great Nations.

He killed countless people and seriously injured the Second Tsuchikage Mu, killed the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu, defeated the Second Kazekage and the Second Raikage.

This honor was a topic that Konoha had been talking about for a long time.

Anbu Building Anbu Minister’s Office.

“Minister, isn’t this too unfair? Why should Hiruzen be the Hokage? The position of Hokage should belong to you, Minister.”

Saito said angrily.

Silbi also had a warm and angry expression.

Sakumo said nothing on the side.

“Nishito, you shouldn’t say that, shut up, Biwako is still here.”

Utatane Koharu scolded Nishito.

“But, Minister’s wife…”

Nishito saw the silent Nara Hikari, then looked at Sarutobi Biwako standing behind Nara Hikari, and could only sigh and shut up.

“Hikari”.

“I’m fine, it doesn’t matter who becomes the Hokage, I understand what Lord Tobirama means, he is afraid of the power I have, just like he is afraid of Uchiha Madara.”

Nara Hikari was silent for a long time before speaking.

Uchiha Fumie, who was standing behind Nara Hikari, froze when he heard the name Madara.

Nishito and Silbi were also silent when they heard the name Uchiha Madara.

Madara’s name is well-known among the people of this generation in Konoha.

He is a powerful figure who established Konoha with Hashirama.

“Okay, let’s stop with this topic.”

After Nara finished speaking, everyone looked at him.

“I plan to go to Zuzhi Country in a few days.”

“Is the Minister here for that organization that suddenly appeared?”

“Yes, the Zu Country is next to the Fire Country, and this matter must be clarified.”

“Minister, please let me go.”

Nishito volunteered.

“No, I want to go out and relax.”

“I’ll accompany you.”

Utatane Koharu was a little worried about Nara Hikari’s condition.

“No, stay and take care of your son.”

Utatane Koharu heard Nara Hikari mention that his son was not insisting.

“Go and get busy.”

“Yes, Minister.”

Everyone left, but Sarutobi Biwako did not move.

“What’s wrong, Madam?”

Nara Hikari looked up at Sarutobi Biwako who did not leave.

“I apologize to you on behalf of the Sarutobi clan.”

Sarutobi Biwako thought for a while and spoke.

“This matter has nothing to do with you, why are you apologizing?”

“But Sarutobi Hiruzen is a member of the Sarutobi clan after all, and he is my brother.”

“Okay, I don’t take it to heart.”

Nara Hikari stood up and hugged Sarutobi Biwako.

He patted her back gently.

Sarutobi Biwako also hugged Nara Hikari tightly.

“Let’s go, let’s go home.”

Nara Hikari took Sarutobi Biwako’s hand and left the Anbu building.

Back to the Nara family, all the Nara clan leaders came.

“Second uncle, eldest uncle, fourth grandfather, clan leader.”

“Hitsu, let’s go, let’s talk.”

Fourth grandfather Nara Sima looked at Nara Hikari with a smile and said.

“Okay.”

Nara Hikari followed Nara Sima and others to the pavilion.

“Hitsu, do you want to be Hokage? If you want to be Konoha Hokage, I, an old guy, can fight for you.”

“Fourth grandfather, don’t make trouble. If you want to be Hokage, I can also fight for you.”

“You kid, what are you talking about? At my age, why should I be Hokage? I still want to live a few more years.”

Fourth grandfather laughed.

The other three breathed a sigh of relief.

Nara Shima and the others came this time because they were actually afraid that Nara Hikaru would have some bad ideas.

“Actually, I don’t care who becomes Hokage. After all, I find it troublesome. I don’t even want to be the head of the Anbu anymore.”

“You kid, you don’t have to be Hokage, but you must stay in the position of Anbu head. Don’t be as lazy as your second uncle.”

“I say, fourth uncle, just talk about Hikaru, why bother with me.”

Nara Xi on the side retorted.

“I know the personalities of the people in the Nara family best. It’s a blessing for the ancestors to have a Hikaru in the family.”

The others were speechless when they heard what Nara Shima said.

“Hikaru, if you have any decision, just tell us. Even if you want to be Hokage, we support you.”

“Fourth Grandpa, what if I want to leave Konoha?”

“This…”

“Then we’ll leave too. Now that Hikaru is in the family, it’s the same wherever we go.”

The eldest uncle Nara Maru, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

“Yes, Guang, we support you no matter what decision you make. With the current strength of our Nara family, it has far exceeded the Warring States Period by several times or even dozens of times. We can start over wherever we go.”

Nara Xi came to Nara Guang and patted his shoulder.

“Well, I am very happy to hear you say this. I will not let the family go to that step unless it is absolutely necessary.”

Nara Guang learned from his mother Nara Masami that the Nara family paid too much in the Warring States Period.

Too many relatives died. Since joining Konoha, this hard-won peace is the dream of all clan members.

Nara Guang actually didn’t want to break it.

“I’m going to see my great-grandson, but I won’t accompany you.”

Nara Shima saw that Nara Guang was not depressed and left with peace.
