Chapter 151: The Third Shinobi World War ends! Selection of the Fourth Hokage!

Konoha year 49, June.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

After the Battle of Kikyo Pass, the Konoha Hidden Village, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure also announced a ceasefire, and the Kage of the three parties reached a certain consensus, each leading their troops home.

The ninja world.

Ushered in a brief peace.

The Third Shinobi World War was also initially announced to have come to an end.

Perhaps.

It was Senju Xingye's slight interference.

That made the end time of this ninja world war several months earlier than expected.

On one hand, it was because he broke the leg of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki and captured the Three-Tails and Four-Tails; on the other hand, it was also because of his iron-brother relationship with the Third Raikage, which led to Kumogakure not continuing to cause trouble, but quietly waiting for the succession of the Fourth Hokage.

Konoha Hidden Village.

Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had experienced successive great battles.

Was physically and mentally exhausted at this moment; an aging body really couldn't compare to when he was young.

Therefore, he also began to consider abdicating and letting the virtuous take over, and selecting the Fourth Hokage.

"Everyone."

"The Third Shinobi World War has been announced to have ended."

"I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, have been in the position of Hokage for a full thirty years; now it is about time to abdicate and let the young people take over the great responsibility."

"After a discussion between myself and the Hokage advisors Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu."

"We have also selected several candidates for the Fourth Hokage from among the rising stars who performed actively in this campaign."

"In the end."

"It still depends on everyone's vote."

"..........."

With a pipe in his mouth.

Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed out some smoke and spoke slowly.

Involving the position of the next Hokage, today's Hokage office was exceptionally lively, and many people had come.

Two Hokage advisors.

The Captain-General of the Konoha Anbu.

Clan leaders of various clans.

Jonin of the village, including Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Senju Tsunade, Namikaze Minato, Hatake Kakashi, Yuhi Genaki, Tsukimitsu Yoru, Mitarashi Shishio, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and others.

Facing a major event like selecting a Hokage, combat powers at the Jonin level naturally also had the right to vote.

Subsequently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also displayed the list of candidates for the Fourth Hokage.

In front of everyone, they were:

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Senju Tsunade, Namikaze Minato, Shimura Danzo!

Hmm.

Without exception.

All of them were people from the Third Hokage's faction.

Although the relationship of some people with Sarutobi Hiruzen was not very good, at the very least, there existed a nominal master-disciple relationship.

As for.

The Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan.

These great clans of the Konoha Hidden Village, their clan leaders were not even on the list.

Sorry.

You people who have no connections don't even have the qualifications to be on the list.

The position of Hokage originally required a certain connection to inherit; just like the First Hokage and Second Hokage were both people from the Senju of the Forest, the Third Hokage was a disciple of Senju Tobirama, and this Fourth Hokage must also have a connection with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Senju Tsunade need not be mentioned; they were all disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Namikaze Minato, this rising star, was a grand-disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Shimura Danzo, this was Sarutobi Hiruzen's good buddy.

"Heh."

Seeing this list.

Senju Xingye couldn't help but sneer.

However, he didn't say much; anyway, this selection for the Fourth Hokage was just going through the motions.

He had no interest in being the Fourth Hokage and dealing with mountains of government affairs every day, but his wife, Senju Tsunade, was very suitable to take over this position.

"........."

This obvious sneer.

Naturally, everyone present heard it clearly.

Those who could attend such a meeting had at least Jonin-level strength, so there was no one who was hard of hearing.

If this were an ordinary person. ===== CHAPTER 155 =====
