Konoha's Strongest Technician

The capital of the Fire Nation, the daimyo's mansion.

At this moment, in the gorgeously decorated Daming Mansion, more than a dozen powerful people were sitting on both sides of a long table.

They are the ministers and politicians responsible for the important affairs of the Fire Country.

The person at the top of the list is naturally the head of the Fire Nation, the Daimyo, who has the highest administrative power and the highest military power.

I saw that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was wearing a hat with three flames painted on it, and a black character for fire was written on the huge red backrest of the chair behind him.

"Oh ho ho ho, since the Third Hokage is about to abdicate, it's time for me to meet the new candidate."

The daimyo with a wan expression waved the fan in his hand gently and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in a frivolous tone.

Speaking of which, he was quite satisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi because Hiruzen would not disturb his life on weekdays.

Now that the new Hokage recommender has appeared, he is also a little curious about his personality.

"I think Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, is the most suitable."

Before Hiruzen could speak, Danzo on the side suddenly spoke.

"What do the Third Hokage think?"

However, the Daimyo did not directly consider his suggestion and continued to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Danzo's face darkened when he heard this.

The daimyo was implying that he was not qualified enough.

"Orochimaru is indeed a genius and has made enough military exploits. But his heart is not with the villagers. I don't trust him as the Hokage."

"So I recommend Minato Namikaze. He is the key to winning this war, and he has been unanimously recognized by the young and old in the village. He is an excellent successor to the Will of Fire."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on the chair, gently picked up the water glass in front of him, took a sip of tea, and spoke slowly.

"Oh? Is it the so-called yellow flash of Konoha?"

The daimyo raised his eyebrows and looked at the yellow-haired man next to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Other important officials also followed and looked at Namikaze Minato.

Although they are not ninjas, they have been paying close attention to the major events happening in the ninja world. Naturally, they have heard of this genius ninja with bright yellow hair and a name that is resounding in the ninja world.

"I think it would be most appropriate for Minato Namikaze to succeed the Fourth Hokage."

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a fat body and a rich face was the first to express his agreement.

President of the Fire Country Chamber of Commerce, Bunta Fujiwara.

He is the strategic partner of the Konoha Nara family's medicinal materials and the Akimichi Clan's Hyōryōwan, and he knows that Minato has a close relationship with Akimichi Choza.

Now that Minato is going to succeed Hokage, he is naturally happy to be a favor, which will also facilitate further cooperation with Konoha in the future.

For example, he has always been interested in the arms business of the Uchiha clan.

As soon as Fujiwara Bunta finished speaking, the other ministers and politicians also expressed their agreement.

"Since no one objects, from now on, the position of Hokage, as well as the stability and peace of the Fire Country, will be officially entrusted to you."

The daimyo's voice was serious and solemn, contrary to his usual exaggerated tone.

The safety of the Fire Country has always been closely related to the strength of the Konoha Ninja Village. Only when the person who serves as Hokage is reliable enough and the strength of the Konoha Ninja Village is strong enough can his position as a daimyo be secure.

"Thank you for your trust. Minato will do his best to protect the stability and peace of the village and the Fire Nation."

Minato stood up from his seat and saluted respectfully.

"Ah, very good!"

The daimyo nodded with satisfaction.

After receiving the letter of appointment signed by the daimyo himself, Sandai and Minato immediately returned to Konoha without stopping.

By the time Minato arrived home, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Bang bang!

With two "bang bang" sounds, colorful ribbons fell on Minato who had just pushed the door open and entered.

"Minato-sensei, congratulations!"

Kakashi, Lin, Obito, and Shisui were the first to cheer.

"Congratulations, Brother Minato, yes, you should be called the Fourth Hokage now!"

Fugaku also came early to celebrate with Mikoto and Little Itachi.

Akimichi Dingzao and Aburame Zhiwei followed Daoxi closely.

Minato was slightly stunned when he saw this, but he quickly reacted.

"We are all our own people. There is no need to be so polite. Come inside and sit down."

While talking, Kushina, who was looking happy, also came up to her. She gently took off the ribbon on Minato's body, and then took his arm and entered the house together.

Soon, laughter and laughter filled the living room of the house.

The custom-made imperial robes sent by the ANBU in advance brought the atmosphere in the room to a climax!

Seeing that the matter was settled, Kakashi said hello to Mr. Minato, then quietly left and came to Orochimaru's laboratory alone.

"It's Kakashi-kun."

Orochimaru turned around when he heard the noise, with a bit of disappointment in his eyes.

"Master Orochimaru!"

Kakashi replied respectfully.

Orochimaru stared at Kakashi thoughtfully, and then said for a long time: "You are not here to be Minato's lobbyist, are you?"

Feeling Orochimaru's substantial gaze, Kakashi scratched his head awkwardly:

"Yes and no, Minato-sensei didn't arrange for me to come, but I did come here because of it."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru glanced at him in surprise.

"Lord Orochimaru, I know you are unhappy that the Third Hokage did not nominate you as Hokage."

"But with all due respect, you are indeed not suitable to be Hokage. No, it should be said that the position of Hokage is a shackle for you!"

Kakashi looked at Orochimaru's snake eyes and explained seriously.

"Well, how do you say this?"

Kakashi's words successfully aroused Orochimaru's interest.

"As we all know, once you become Hokage, you have to take responsibility for everything. You are also involved in endless government affairs, and you are completely tied to the position of Hokage."

"And your pursuit has to be implemented through a large number of scientific experiments, so how can you have time to deal with these mundane matters?"

"If my guess is correct, you have reached an agreement with Danzo."

"After the event is completed, you will succeed as Hokage, but he will handle all village affairs, while you will be the hands-off boss."

Kakashi's tone was calm and calm.

"Kakashi-kun, you are really smart."

When Orochimaru heard this, he looked at Kakashi with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Thank you for the compliment, Orochimaru-sama, but with all due respect, if that's the case, what's the difference between you and Danzo's puppet?"

"At that time, the real power of the Hokage will not be under your control. If anything happens, you will have to take the blame. Why bother?"

Kakashi's tone was sincere, as if he was sharing his worries.

"Kakashi-kun, you know I don't care about this."

Orochimaru didn't care about the derogatory description of puppet and said softly.

"I understand, Orochimaru-sama, you actually care more about the Third Generation's opinion than these."

"But in my opinion, you don't have to be like this at all. Because the third generation is already old!"
