Chapter 805: If Lian Ye Becomes Hokage

Hokage Office.

"Uncle, what did you call us here for?"

Lian Ye was peacefully sunbathing at home when Qianshou Feijian summoned him, and a few others led by Zhi Cun Tuan Zang followed.

The crowd curiously looked at Qianshou Feijian on the main seat, not understanding what had happened.

"I'm preparing to retire," Qianshou Feijian said, looking at the few, his voice deep: "I called you here to discuss the Third Hokage's successor."

The words made the few gasp.

Third Hokage!

Teacher Feijian's meaning seemed to be to choose from among them!

Thinking of this, they simultaneously looked at Lian Ye, who had almost placed his foot on the desk.

Although this guy is a total slacker, in every respect he is the best candidate for Hokage.

Of course, we have to set aside his Cultural Class grades.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang subconsciously clenched his fist.

If he could become Hokage, that would be great…

But with Lian Ye present, he and Ri Zhan have no chance at all, and can only wait for the future to vie for the Fourth Hokage.

"Which of you wants to become Hokage?"

Qianshou Feijian looked at the silent few, his gaze finally landing on the yawning Lian Ye.

The corner of his mouth twitched; this kid is really out of sync, so lax even in such a setting.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and the others remained silent, occasionally glancing at Lian Ye, who was picking his nose and yawning.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

Lian Ye suddenly realized the situation was off.

Aren't these guys discussing the Third Hokage's candidate?

All looking at what he's doing?!

"Kid, are you willing to become the Third Hokage?" Qianshou Feijian cleared his throat lightly.

Lian Ye is universally acknowledged as the best Hokage successor, especially to the villagers and ninja who don't know his Cultural Class grades.

This guy is truly the village's hero and pride!

Having him become Hokage can be said to be the people's will.

Even Ri Zhan and Tuan Cang, who both dearly want the Hokage position, showed no dissatisfaction…

"Let me be Hokage?"

Lian Ye, incredulous, pointed at himself with a look of disbelief.

"Uncle, are you okay?"

The Hokage gets up earlier than a rooster and sleeps later than a dog each day.

Only a fool would want to be Hokage, right? Isn't staying home sunbathing pleasant?

"Right, what do you think?" Qianshou Feijian nodded in agreement.

If this kid is willing, he'll be the Third Hokage tomorrow!

"I don't think so," Lian Ye shook his head like a tambourine, "I'm not interested in the Hokage at all."

If he has that time, he'd rather stay home sunbathing.

Besides, can this old fool really be trusted to handle the village's paperwork?

Qianshou Feijian: "……"

Everyone: "……"

They hadn't expected that, while most ninja in the Village dream of it, Lian Ye scoffs at the idea.

It's really absurd.

"Lian Ye, could you reconsider?" Zhi Cun Tuan Zang said, urging him.

Although he really wants to be Hokage, Lian Ye becoming Hokage is absolutely no problem!

When Lian Ye retires in the future, he can still vie with Ri Zhan for the Hokage position later.

"Indeed, Lian Ye," Yuanfei Rizhan quickly agreed, "don't give up this hard-won opportunity."

Many ninja in the Village dream of becoming Hokage; how can Lian Ye refuse so easily?

If others found out, who knows what they'd think.

"Not even a dog would take the Hokage."

Lian Ye refused without hesitation.

If he takes the Hokage role, he'll become the Village's workhorse, never again a lazy fish sunbathing at home.

Life is so wonderful, how can one give it up?

"Kid, think it over carefully."

Qianshou Feijian, seeing his carefree demeanor, instantly became incensed, raising his voice a few notches.

"Understood."

Lian Ye initially intended to keep refusing, but seeing his anger, he changed his words at the last moment.

"You all should urge him more."

Qianshou Feijian looked at Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and the others.

"Yes, Teacher!"

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

"Lian Ye, don't be messing around."

Sarutobi Rizhan earnestly and kindly urged.

"I hope you can serve as Hokage, so the Village can develop better."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's expression was serious; he did not let his friend give up this opportunity because of his own reasons.

"Lian Yejun, if you can become Hokage, don't waste such a good opportunity." Zhuan Qin Xiaochun echoed.

"Lian Ye, if you become Hokage, the conflicts between the clan and the Village can be eased." Uchiha Jing explained his view.

Although Lian Ye was expelled from the Uchiha by the clan head, he is essentially still an Uchiha clan member.

As long as he can become Hokage, the clan will beg Lian Ye to return, and thus the clan–Village conflict can be eased.

Even if Lian Ye is unwilling to return to the clan, it's fine.

"You don't understand," Lian Ye sighed helplessly, "When I become Hokage, I won't be able to lie in the sun like now."

He has personally witnessed the miserable life of Senju Hashirama and Qianshou Feijian as Hokage.

Of course, when Hashirama was in office, most matters were handed over to Feijian to handle.

But it's also quite troublesome, alright.

He could emulate Hashirama's method, letting Tuan Cang and Ri Zhan handle state affairs.

But what is the point?

Isn't that a pointless, redundant move?

Refusing outright to become Hokage means you don't have to do anything, right?

"You… you guy."

Everyone was utterly stumped by his lazy personality.

Where would anyone act like that!

Simply finding it troublesome and giving up the chance to become Hokage.

Even the most trouble‑averse Nara Clan wouldn't refuse to become Hokage just because it's troublesome, right.

One can only say his way of thinking truly differs from ordinary people.

No wonder he's the first contestant in Ninja Academy history to score five points in Cultural Class!

"You all give up; even if I die and jump off the roof, I still can't become the Third Hokage!"

Lian Ye dropped the harsh words.

A few people, seeing this, could only helplessly return to the office to report.

Hokage Office.

"Did he really say that?!"

Qianshou Feijian's forehead veins bulged at the words, wishing he could give that scoundrel boy a lesson!

How could he have raised a guy with such a personality?

No, it seems we must use other means to make him willingly become the Third Hokage!

Night, Qianshou Feijian Residence.

"Kid, you really don't want to become Hokage?"

Qianshou Feijian suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Yeah." Lian Ye explained, "Becoming Hokage brings me no benefit; my nature can't stay still, I can't sit in the office all day handling paperwork."

He's the type of contestant who falls asleep even in Cultural Class at the Ninja School.

One cannot sleep in the office while serving as Hokage.

Qianshou Feijian, hearing this, actually thought his words made some sense.

No, that's pure nonsense!

He quickly recovered and said irritably.

"If you become Hokage, I will have people monitor you around the clock, so you won't have any chance to sleep."

Then let Ri Zhan and Tuan Cang serve as Hokage Assistants; if they see him sleeping, they'll grab him and beat him!

He just doesn't believe that Lian Ye would still dare to sleep like that…
