Hikaru Hokage

Compared to Samui's doubts, the Fourth Raikage looked confident.

"Furthermore, even if the mission fails, you should be fine. I will write a letter to inform the Hokage of Konoha in advance, telling him that our Cloud Hidden Village has the idea of ​​forming an alliance with Konoha, so since you are leading the team to participate, The Jonin in charge of the Ninja Exam is also the envoy to Konoha. With this status in your body, the Hokage of Konoha will not dare to make things difficult for you."

Ai pointed at Mabuyi who brought Samui here.

"Mabuyi will be with you on this S-level mission. Although she is not as strong as you, she is good at judging and analyzing situations. Moreover, you and her are both female ninjas, so they can more or less confuse Konoha on the surface. ninjas and lower their defensiveness, which is one of the reasons why I plan to let you two take charge of this important task."

"I understand."

Samui nodded.

If this is the case, then this mission should not be regarded as a dead end.

"But who are the genin accompanying you?"

"come in."

The Fourth Raikage shouted towards the door, and then three ninjas quickly walked in.

They were all new faces that Sam Yi had never seen before.

Except for the petite female ninja among them.

"The two of them are ready to sacrifice their lives for Kumogakure. In this operation, they will be used as bait to attract the attention of the Hyuga clan. Once you succeed, you will directly hand over the Byakugan to Yukito, although she is still She is not a perfect jinchuriki, but her speed is already very fast, which should be enough to run out of Konoha before the pursuers arrive. In addition, Bee and I will also meet you at the border of the Land of Fire."

"Lord Raikage, Yukito is a two-tailed Jinchuuriki after all. Is it risky to go to Konoha like this?"

Even though the Raikage's arrangement sounded sound, Mabuyi felt that the mission to Konoha to snatch the Byakugan was still dangerous.

"As long as the form of the tailed beast is not exposed first, and her identity as a genin, no one in Konoha would have thought that she would be the two-tailed jinchūriki. Yukito, you don't need to be in the limelight in this chunin exam, understand. ?"

"understand!"

The two Yumu people raised their necks proudly.

Although she is only a teenage loli, her cold and arrogant temperament and beautiful face make her very cute.

And being able to participate in S-class missions as a genin, she felt that she was valued by the village and Raikage-sama.

-

"The Mizukage actually wants to come to watch this Chunin Exam in person?"

Although the failure to catch the traitorous ninja Uchiha Shisui gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a headache recently, the news coming from Kirigakure Village and Kumogakure Village one after another made him cheer up again.

"Lord Hokage, Lord Mizukage also mentioned in the letter the disappearance of the Three-Tails in their village. He must be planning to come to Konoha to discuss the matter of the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki."

"Oh? Is that so, Three-Tails..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered the mission he had arranged for Uzumaki Kushina and the others to capture the Three-Tails on a whim.

Although the Three-Tails was not found from the lake as expected, in the end the Three-Tails came to Konoha as a jinchuriki.

And still...

"The three-tailed Jinchuuriki is Fugaku's child. This matter is still very difficult for us in Konoha to handle."

I don’t know what price Kirigakure Village plans to pay.

If the price is right, it is not impossible to give up the three tails.

It's Fugaku's child anyway. When he becomes Hokage, he can just let him take the blame.

"There is also the Raikage. He has written a letter saying that he wants to form an alliance with our Konoha. The messenger is the leading Jonin for them to participate in the Chunin Exam this time."

The Hokage secretary of the Sarutobi clan took out another letter.

"An alliance? This is a great thing. As long as the Kingdom of Thunder does not conflict with our Kingdom of Fire, the ninja world will usher in unprecedented peace."

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the pipe in his hand, stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the prosperous village outside.

"Yes, this is all thanks to your wise leadership, Hokage-sama. If you hadn't turned the tide, Konoha might have been divided between Iwagakure and Kumogakure."

"Hahaha, I just did what I had to do."

Thinking of his actions in killing the Third Raikage in the last ninja war, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help laughing.

"Everything is possible only if the ninjas in the village work together to achieve this hard-won peace."

We have to find Shisui and kill him as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the hidden danger is too great.

-

"I gave him the mirror as you asked, but does that mean anything?"

Kakashi knew there was nothing special about the mirror, because he bought it casually at a street stall.

"Many things don't happen overnight. When the time comes, you will naturally understand the usefulness of that mirror."

Hino Hikaru looked at the direction of the Uchiha clan while answering Kakashi's question.

"How are you doing Obito recently?"

"I don't know, the Uchiha ninjas don't like us approaching their clan territory."

I heard that even sister Kushina and Lin went to visit last time, but they were rejected by the Uchiha people.

And the attitude is quite bad.

Kakashi remembered the last time he was surrounded by a group of "pink-eyes" and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"But Obito should be doing pretty well."

After all, even he had heard the rumor about Obito in the village——

Obito was very rude to the eldest sister who was responsible for serving him in his daily life. Not only did he lose his temper, but he also wanted to use his hands and feet to molest others.

Of course, Kakashi didn't believe such rumors, but he felt that since Obito could still have such a "legend" in the village, he should be doing okay.

"Uchiha Obito hasn't come to you for so long?"

"he……"

Kakashi shook his head.

Kakashi could still guess a bit about Obito's previous rejection of crutches.

Obito didn't want to be looked at like someone with a disability.

"Is there any progress on Orochimaru's side?"

Forget it, if Obito can't figure it out on his own, it's useless for others to help him no matter how hard they try.

Hino Hikaru felt that he had done his best.

"I have already revealed the news to Anko according to your method."

"That's almost it. The Third Hokage has already recommended Uchiha Fugaku in front of so many people. As long as Orochimaru inquires for a moment, he will realize that it is unlikely that he will be recommended by the Third Hokage."

"Orochimaru, will he really fall out with the Third Hokage because of this?"

Kakashi didn't think Orochimaru, who was absent from the village most of the time, would be so obsessed with the position of Hokage.

"For him, it doesn't matter whether he is Hokage or not, but the betrayal of his mentor is fatal."

You can refuse it, but you can’t refuse it.

What's more, Sarutobi Hiruzen once promised Orochimaru in order to resist the army of Iwagakure Village.

"And dignity and face."

As a legendary Sannin, he had released his clones to say that he was quite the Hokage, but in the end, he was overtaken as the Hokage by an unknown boy. This was also an extremely difficult thing for Orochimaru to accept.

"Dignity and face..."

Kakashi thought about Obito again.

-

"If you choose me as Hokage, not only can you get one of the seal scrolls here for free, but you can also get a [-]% off coupon for Ichiraku Ramen here every day!"

Unlike several other "Buddhist" Hokage candidates, it can be seen that Kushina still put in a lot of effort.

Well, at least she got the sponsorship of Ichiraku Ramen.

"Scrolls and ramen?"

"Yes, sister, the scroll can be given as a gift to the children in the ninja school. If you want to eat ramen, you can use the [-]% off coupon now!"

"That's it, how do I get it?"

"Just sign your name here and vote for me."

Kushina looked at the crowd that had gathered, with a smile on her face.

Humph, I am the only one in the village who uses this method to win votes. I will definitely be the one with the most votes!

Let those "reserved" guys regret it while watching me become Hokage!

"Please sign here, get in line, there is no need to squeeze, it will be done soon..."

Seeing that there were free things given away, people on the street crowded over.

Some were just watching the fun, and some were actually signing autographs.

Whoever becomes the Hokage makes no difference to housewives like them. The little girl in front of them is so beautiful, she shouldn't be a bad person, and I heard she is a very powerful ninja, so it seems good to choose her to be the Hokage.

"Give me one too."

"You... why are you here?"

After Kushina handed the pen over, she could see the face of the person clearly.

"Of course I'm here to vote for you. By the way, can I get a few more scrolls? Give me four more ramen coupons. It just so happens that I don't have to cook tonight."

Hino Hikaru quickly signed his name.

"You, you really signed it?"

Kushina thought Hino Hikaru was here to laugh at her, but she didn't expect that he really came to support her.

Well, this stinky disciple still has some respect for his teacher.

"Why don't I want free stuff?"

Anyway, when the final results come out, it will be Hiruzen Sarutobi who has the final say on who gets how many votes.

Hino Hikaru didn't think his signature would bring much benefit to Kushina.

"What about Sister Tsunade, you won't vote for her?"

"I'll just bring her a bowl of ramen back."

Hino Hikaru walked to the other side and discovered that the person responsible for issuing ramen coupons and seal scrolls turned out to be Konan.

"Were you recruited by her to be a strong man?"

"No, I want to help myself, and it's fun to see so many people signing and voting."

Konan secretly gave Hikaru a few ramen shop coupons while looking at the crowd around him with a smile.

"Xiaonan! You can only give one to one person!"

Although she was very satisfied with Hino Hikaru's move to vote for her today, seeing the other party talking and laughing with Xiaonan, and remembering Hino Hikaru's attitude towards her not long ago, Kushina quickly rushed over and wanted to Stop Xiaonan's favoritism.

"What a stingy teacher."

But how could Hino Hikaru get the coupon and be snatched back by her?

"Boss, bring five bowls of ramen to take away!"

"Ok!"

Ichiraku Ramen Shop is very busy now.

It seems that even if it is half price, with so many people coming to buy it, you can still make a small profit.

I didn't expect Kushina to have such a business acumen.

"Although the beginning is collusion between politics and business..."

"What do you mean by collusion?"

Crossing her arms, Kushina looked at Hino Hikaru who had taken away five ramen coupons with a dissatisfied look on her face.

"Nothing, I'm just curious as to why the teacher would come up with such an idea to canvass votes?"
