In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

The secret agents responded as if it were a routine matter.

Since the Hokage is gone, they temporarily follow the orders of the Hokage's advisors, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

This is one of the reasons why Danzo was hesitant to act recklessly.

Another point is that the major ninja clans of Konoha still habitually obey the Hokage's orders.

Without the Hokage, Konoha's massive war machine cannot function.

"You don't realize how outstanding Xia Mu is until you compare."

Asuma sighed as he was being helped over by the Anbu to receive treatment from Koharu Utatane.

The secret agents beside him nodded in unison.

Several months ago, when I was with the Third Hokage to fight the terrifying boss that suddenly appeared in Konoha - the Fire Demon Beast.

They discovered that this young man possessed extraordinary abilities.

Unexpectedly, he has become even stronger, and even they can't see through the boy's true strength.

Unfathomable; that's probably the phrase used to describe this kind of person.

"As you can see, Konoha is extremely weak now, and even Tom, Dick, and Harry dare to bully it."

"Although Sunagakure has announced its surrender, the passing of the Third Hokage has made other major ninja villages restless, and various forces are constantly testing our Konoha."

"Therefore, establishing a new Hokage is our most pressing matter at present."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mitokado Homura shouted loudly, then looked up at Natsuki in the air:

"After much discussion and considering the current situation, Natsuki Yuhi is very suitable to serve as the Fifth Hokage."

"Natsuki Yuhi, are you willing to succeed the Fifth Hokage and shoulder the responsibility of protecting Konoha?"

As soon as he said this, everyone turned their shocked gazes toward Xia Mu.

I never expected that Natsuki would become Hokage at such a young age.

However, it is normal to use extraordinary measures in extraordinary times.

Currently, various forces are eyeing this opportunity, and indeed only he is capable of undertaking this great responsibility.

Otherwise, would they still be able to use Kakashi Hatake, who had a great reputation but was easily defeated by Itachi Uchiha?

As the son of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Asuma was experienced enough, but he was seriously injured when he faced these two rogue ninjas.

He clearly cannot protect Konoha or succeed as Hokage.

Otherwise, if Asuma were to take over, he would be ridiculed by the entire ninja world. The Hokage, a man of great stature, couldn't even deal with a rogue ninja who had come to the village.

Just when everyone was casting hopeful glances at Xia Mu.

Natsuki frowned, looked down at Mitokado Homura, and shouted:

"How dare you! How dare you, a coward like you, call me by my real name?"

Caught off guard, Mitokado Yan almost couldn't catch her breath.

He could handle the situation well, knowing that the kid might agree out of vanity or refuse out of playfulness or fear of trouble.

Completely unexpectedly, this kid suddenly turned his attention to me.

This person's thinking is too unpredictable and elusive. If this person were to become Hokage, would they still be able to follow the original plan and listen to their instructions?

Seeing the strange gazes cast upon him by the ANBU, Mitokado Homura coughed repeatedly and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Cough cough... cough cough cough... Me, afraid of death?"

"If I were afraid of death, why would I be here?"

As an elder of Konoha, his words, whether reasonable or not, are generally respected by most people.

To everyone's surprise, Xia Mu was quite blunt: "Look, we've already finished fighting, and you're only now coming to the front."

"Konoha has been through a lot these past few years, and every time you old guys have been hiding in the background and only showing up at the last minute?"

“You…you…cough cough cough…”

Mitomon was so angry that she could hardly breathe and almost passed out.

Xiaochun, his longtime partner of several decades, could tell at a glance that Menyan was just pretending because he was too angry to speak.

However, since they are all on our side, we must unite against this common enemy and suppress the arrogance of this brat.

Immediately, he stepped forward, about to angrily rebuke Xia Mu for daring to speak to the elders of Konoha in such a manner.

Kurenai, who was standing next to her, quickly took two steps forward and blocked Koharu from turning the dorm by a body length.

He looked up at his younger brother and called out:

"Xia Mu, come down here quickly. How can you speak to the elders like that? They are so old. Even if they haven't made any great contributions, they have certainly worked hard."

These words almost made Xiaochun, who was turning over a new room, so angry that she almost fainted.

So, after decades of hard work in Konoha, we haven't accomplished anything?

Why are these two siblings talking in such a creepy way?

Immediately, she opened her mouth wide, ready to unleash her special talent and berate them.

As a result, Kurenai Yuhi turned around and stopped Elder Koharu from speaking, apologizing with a beaming smile:

"I'm sorry, Lord Menyan, Lord Xiaochun."

“…” Natsuki is still a child, and he speaks too bluntly. He is indeed not very suitable to be Hokage.

That troublemaker Natsuki, if he were to become Hokage, Konoha would be finished without any enemy attack.

Moreover, he's too naive; he can't possibly outmaneuver these old guys.

As the older sister, protecting her younger brother should be her top priority; resigning from this appointment is the right thing to do.

Before Xiaochun could say a word, her mouth, which had just closed, was about to open again.

Wow, your brother is so straightforward, which means he's always right.

While it seemed like she was apologizing for her brother, she was actually affirming what that brat said and taking the blame for him.

With so many people watching, how could the elders save face if they didn't say something in rebuttal?

Since that's the case, I'll teach you, the older sister, a lesson first.

Xiaochun took a deep breath as she turned to her new room.

Just about to speak.

"Crack!"

Another figure blocked her way.

There's nothing to say.

Koharu's face slowly turned purplish-brown.

"Elder Xiaochun, why bother arguing with these juniors?"

Danzo Shimura interrupted Koharu's words with a step, then turned to Kurenai Yuhi with a smile and said:

"On the contrary, Natsuki's personality is exactly what makes him the best Hokage of this period."

"The people of Konoha are in a state of panic right now, and they need a Hokage who can lead by example and forge ahead bravely."

"And we old guys are really not good at charging into battle anymore."

When Xia Mu angrily berated Mitokado En just now, he almost died laughing.

Anyone can become the Fifth Hokage, but they absolutely cannot be aligned with factions like Koharu and Honoka.

This way, he will have the opportunity to strategize and plan.

In a critical moment, they could rely on seizing Shisui's Kotoamatsukami Mangekyou Sharingan to turn the tide and bring a new era to Konoha.

For now, let's go along with this brat's wishes and elevate him.

Once Konoha is stable and these people are no longer of any use to him, he will use Kotoamatsukami to control Natsuki, causing him to perish together with all the opposing forces.

That way he can become Hokage without any problems!

160: Stop acting, I'm going to be Hokage this time!

"I didn't expect even Lord Danzo to support him becoming Hokage."

"It seems that Natsuki is really going to become Hokage."

The group of secret agents were shocked and looked at each other in disbelief.

"What does Consultant Xiaochun think?"

Danzo Shimura turned to look at Koharu Utatane.

He had made it very clear that he wanted Natsuki to be the Hokage and lead the charge.

Isn't he the one who hates high-ranking officials who hide in the back?

Let him take the lead and be a headstrong fifth generation leader, solving all the dangers.
