Chapter 148: Fifth Hokage, the True Divine Ascension!

The next day, a major incident was reported in the Leaf Village.

The candidate originally qualified to run for Fifth Hokage, one of the Leaf Village's Legendary Sannin, Ziraiye, announced his withdrawal from the election.

The reason was simple: he was seriously injured and unable to run.

Upon hearing the news, everyone in the Leaf Village found it especially absurd, because Ziraiye's peeping at the hot‑spring hall and being punched by Tsunade into the hospital was no secret.

Although no one truly knows who Ziraiye studied under, his lecherous nature is also no secret to the Leaf Village.

"Is it innate, or is it because of the Third Hokage?"

Thus, this Hokage election turned out to be the least surprising, yet the most interesting—three Uchiha competing for the Hokage.

Why is this happening?

Obito and Itachi had no mood to listen to Kurojitsu's words; in their minds, the only certainty was that Yuzhi had become the Fifth Hokage.

"Damn, who else could contest him?"

"It's time, Lord Hokage." At that moment, Kakashi came to Yuzhi's side and whispered to Yuzhi.

"Forget it, why overthink?"

"Go quickly, now is your moment."

That very night, many ninja in some gambling houses within the Leaf Village saw Tsunade's figure, and several heard her say something like, "I don't need money anymore."

Now, with those two withdrawing together, the room for choice left to everyone is not much.

Rather than be embarrassed, it's better to cast that precious vote and make a good connection.

Obito glanced at Itachi beside him and said, "Kid, who do you think it will be?"

"Blood inheritance disease?"

"I don't know either, but whoever it is, it's the same."

Even with his methods, he's still powerless against Kimimaro's blood inheritance disease.

"Do they have nothing to do? Doesn't the Leaf Village send its own people to handle it?"

Amid children's laughter, vendors' cries, and noisy chatter, people surged from all directions toward the Hokage Tower.

Shishui pursed his lips, and for a moment he didn't know how to continue, because it seemed Yuzhi truly had no opponent.

"You bastard..."

"They told me they plan to find the Land of Fire's best craftsman to forge a Hokage rock statue."

This only allows them to reach a decent level; they cannot go further because their own strength and the current performance of the Byakugan seem to limit them.

After a quiet exchange between the two sides, Tsunade cheerfully announced the news.

As a result, hearing this news now didn't make Yuzhi very happy, especially since Yuzhi himself possesses the "Adaptive Taketori Clan bloodline" talent and ability.

He is a foregone conclusion; in my view, there's no need for a trust vote—just let him take the position directly.

"The Hokage you will face in the future will be him, so we must be even more careful."

Perhaps, the Hyuga Clan's power.

"But, Lord, in combining Hyuga research, I also discovered a very interesting phenomenon."

He, being the inventor of the Impure World Reincarnation, may have done it on purpose; his Impure World Reincarnation has a 'backdoor' to break free from control.

The landlord's family doesn't have that much surplus grain, right?

"Finding someone yourself isn't bad either; you don't want your statue on the Hokage rock to look that ugly, do you?"

"Hmph, I'm not going!"

Small groups of people stepped out of their homes, weaving through the village's streets and alleys, gradually merging into a continuous flow of crowds.

However, he didn't regard this kid highly, because in his eyes the kid was merely Danzo's loyal dog.

"Are you the Second Hokage? Isn't it not good if you don't go?"

If no new candidate appears, then the Leaf Village will initiate a trust vote, and a distinguished figure will personally come to the Leaf Village.

Itachi Uchiha didn't know what Obito was thinking; he simply stared quietly into the distance, as if both nostalgic and regretful.

He also noticed many blood vessels in the guy's eyes, suggesting he hadn't rested well last night.

But considering that even if he left, he would probably still be summoned again by the Impure World Reincarnation, he didn't impulsively let himself "die".

As long as this problem can be solved, everything becomes easy, and after solving it, Kimimaro can also be saved.

The next moment, he was greeted by cheers that roared like a mountain‑tide, and at that instant Yuzhi's internal system refreshed.

"What are you thinking, are you nervous?"

Tsunade proactively gave the slot to Uchiha Haori; the two really are like family, how did my lifelong fame end up tangled with these two scoundrels?

"I never wanted to be Hokage; my resignation is my own matter, if you're upset, go compete yourself!"

Thinking of this, Yuzhi couldn't help but lift his head slightly to look at the sky.

And the only one crazy enough to rescue the kid in such an extreme situation seemed to be Obito!

After all, their madness is probably due to their bloodlines.

Tsunade also got a bit irritable and replied with a dissatisfied remark.

"Everything's fine, it's just too young."

On a high cliff outside the Leaf Village, Obito wearing a swirling vortex mask, and Itachi Uchiha standing beside him, both understood that the Fifth Hokage of the Leaf had already been decided.

"Anyway, regardless of origin, they are thin‑blooded due to millennia of breeding, and even bloodline splitting caused the current situation."

In Yuzhi's home, Shishui watched Yuzhi and Hikari's unhurried demeanor and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Actually, some documents already mention that members of the Taketori Clan seem to have very short lifespans; records show they all die from the blood inheritance disease."

But that's not a big deal; the original work is still several years away, and Kaguya Otsutsuki won't appear for over ten more years, so Yuzhi can take his time!

"It's just that even if we go slower, some matters still need to be expedited."

Actually I'm now doubting a question: whether the Hyuga Clan has any connection with the Bamboo Cutter Clan, because under normal circumstances this shouldn't happen.

"But Tsunade really made a good deal, she earned a hundred million taels for free, and she'll be gambling for a long time now."

The statues on Hokage Rock are repaired and remodeled periodically; the portrait of the Third Hokage on the current Hokage Rock is still rather ugly, and the Fourth Hokage Minato looks even stranger.

I guess Leaf Village has been constantly adjusting and modifying it.

"But, didn't expect my portrait would also be carved in as well?"

The trust vote hardly wasted any of their time, just as Yuzhi thought; the votes might be split a bit, but in the end they still fell on him.

Thinking of this, Yuzhi frowned a little; the Bamboo Cutter Clan is a real pit, but he didn't expect them to go to this level.

Yuzhi saw a familiar face, blinked and laughed teasingly.

Looking out from the windowsill, only Kakashi, Akai, Lin, as well as Asuma, Hong and Xuanjian and others were seen; they had all come to Yuzhi, clearly to look for him.

"Although there was only one Byakugan before, its power nicely suppresses and even compensates for some of the Bamboo Cutter Clan's deficiencies.

In the end, he is still the Second Hokage of Leaf Village; even if he's displeased about this ceremony, he still has to attend.

During this period Zhishui was especially agitated; it's not just him, the whole Uchiha Clan is like that!

More than fifty years have passed since Leaf Village was founded, and the Uchiha, one of the founding families of the village, hasn't even produced a Hokage!

Minato nodded, then burst into laughter.

The Bamboo Cutter Clan is purely a display of strength, yet they act like madmen, and both of their powers are mainly manifested through taijutsu.

"Time to set off."

Such a sudden turn makes it hard not to think in that direction, because everything is so bizarre.

"When you were Hokage you disliked them, but didn't you also follow Grandfather's thinking, always treating them kindly and hoping they'd change?"

Perhaps you failed back then; after all, Senior Jing didn't have Yuzhi's abilities then, but now everything has been realized, can't you be a bit happier?

I recall the teacher said you once told him, "If I were Senju Clan Feijian of the Senju, I might act this way, but as the Second Hokage I need to consider things from the village's perspective."

Yuzhi's brows furrowed even tighter; this wasn't good news for him.

"Minato, how does it feel?"

Ziraiye stretched lazily, then said with a smile.

"The two people you mentioned have both withdrawn; this time the winner is Yuzhi, he is Leaf Village's Fifth Hokage!"

"Procedure, does it still have to be followed?"

But it felt much more comfortable inside; it's true that my words from back then can still be remembered.

"I ask you, Lord Yuzhi, what's wrong with you?"

Bang—

Hikari's next line was only a low mutter and wasn't spoken out loud; this guy's hand is becoming more and more impolite, and besides that he keeps trying to kiss, even wanting to take a bite at any position.

If it weren't for her teacher repeatedly asking her to bring her own grandfather along, saying it would avoid bad influences, she wouldn't bother to care!

"Also, are you really the Hokage of Leaf Village? With the new Hokage taking the throne, even if you were reborn from Impure Earth, shouldn't you attend the ceremony?"

He couldn't understand why Tsunade would give up her Hokage dream over that damned hundred million taels; is she actually his granddaughter?

Perhaps they need to wait for Hyuga and the Bamboo Cutter Clan's bloodline research, thereby better adapting to the reincarnation eye's power.

"Zhishui is too young; he can get votes but absolutely cannot be elected. If a few years pass, he'll really have a chance."

His earlier "suppress then uplift" way of speaking was meant to make Yuzhi pay more attention, but now it seems Yuzhi indeed values it, and he himself now looks somewhat redundant.

Nevertheless, there are exceptions; in the medical department's lab, Tsunade looked somewhat distressed at her own hot-tempered second grandfather.

Suddenly, Feijian recalled something; back then his older brother was eager to have Madara Uchiha become Hokage.

Yuzhi raised an eyebrow at hearing that; he was "extorted" a hundred million taels by Tsunade, and now he has to spend his own money to build a statue here?

She "sold" her Hokage candidacy slot for a hundred million taels, and eventually Senju Clan Feijian found out, which almost drove the Second Hokage to death.

Of course, he's already dead; at most he'll just return to the pure land, and he really almost did so.

Junma Luo was brought back by him, and he quite likes Junma Luo, the little fellow whose loyalty is extreme.

"Who is it, Ziraiye or Tsunade?"

Sunlight streamed in from the windowsill, falling on the two of them; everything looked especially beautiful, and Zhishui behind them couldn't help but smile.

"Then let's go, Hokage's wife."

——

Boom—

Boom—

The ceremonial cannons in Leaf Village kept firing, and the cheers of the crowd swirled above the village, clear as ever.

But now it's fine; with so many materials, he can research better, and curing Junma Luo is also his driving motivation.

Yuzhi couldn't help but poke his head at hearing that; he found that the craftsmen hired by Leaf Village indeed didn't make it look very good.

But at this moment Hikari also came to his side, took his hand, and then asked softly.

But this just made Yuzhi depressed; the mediocre have nothing to worry about, while those with outstanding talent tend to die early.

Hyuga Nissoku might have a chance, but Hyuga's reputation is built by splitting families, they don't have this opportunity.

"These two, are they still gathered together?"

If higher talent truly leads to more problems, then for Yuzhi that's definitely poison!

Kakashi shrugged, then laughed and nudged Yuzhi.

Heijue shook his head; he of course knew how much this news would hit the two, but some things still need to be told to them, lest later cause more trouble.

But at that moment, a series of voices rang out.

"What?"

"I think it's sufficient for now, but Lord Yuzhi there's something I must remind you of."

"Please, what's there to be in such a hurry? The time hasn't come yet."

Minato felt a bit embarrassed; although Ziraiye's teasing was spot on, looking at the current Leaf Village, Yuzhi truly is the one who stands out.

Those words left Senju Feijian speechless; he has wanted to try, but what can he do in his current ghostly state?

As for the peak period, how is it?

He thinks he can manage; after all, never having fought means no outcome, and no one can state an outcome!

"Alright, stop being angry. Isn't the Uchiha Clan part of the Leaf Village?"

Black Zetsu shook his head and fell silent, while his half-body White Zetsu shrugged and spoke lazily.

Minato was momentarily at a loss for words; he hadn't expected Tsunade to pull off such a flashy maneuver.

"What does he need to rush for? In the end, it's all his anyway."

"What's there to get excited about."

Unfortunately, the material is far too scarce, and Byakugan's power isn't as direct as that of a bloodline; now I think I can better demonstrate all of this.

Yuzhi laughed and addressed Hikari, who gave a gentle nod.

As for Shisui and Kagerou, one is his junior, the other his wife; how could those two possibly contend with him?

Obito shook his head at that thought; talent only matters when realized, and having talent without realization is meaningless to Obito.

On the rooftop of the Hokage Tower, Ziraiye gazed at the bustling square below and whispered a question to Minato.

Thinking of that, Yuzhi seemed to understand Kumamaro's situation from the original work.

"Besides, they chose a pervert, an increasingly outrageous pervert."

"You don't have to be so nervous; maybe it's not even you."

"After all, having truly reached this point, there will inevitably be some emotional fluctuations."

Nara Kaku, Mito Monen, and Zhuanqin Xiaochun stood at the outermost edge, gently applauding Yuzhi.

Yuzhi glanced at the scowling Kakashi, but inwardly he couldn't help nodding; it was exactly as he had thought.

"Hey, don't even mention it; Tsunade's approach was truly neither light nor heavy."

After all, being a Hokage's aide isn't that busy; he can look after Kushina and Naruto, and also use my Hokage experience to help him.

"But this kid's talent seems high; at such a young age he's already awakened the Three Tomoe, perhaps he'll unlock the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future."

Yuzhi looked at Shisui, who had dressed himself in an especially elegant manner, and couldn't help finding it amusing.

"Speaking of it, teacher, how are you now? I recall that back then you seemed..."

"I feel great, don't worry, teacher; I'm fine."

He couldn't say who between him and Yuzhi was more relaxed; after all, he had received a 'direct admission', while Yuzhi was simply a 'free gift'.

"By the way, I heard Yuzhi plans to make you a Hokage's aide?"

Seeing Minato looking distant for a moment, Ziraiye assumed he was pondering Hokage matters and immediately interjected.

"All we need to do is watch him step onto the platform and receive the cheers."

——

"Senior, are you really not in a hurry?"

Even if the Leaf Village's Fifth Hokage is an Uchiha!

Its only purpose is probably that this kid harbors hatred toward Uchiha Haori.

Shisui helplessly looked at the engaged couple before him and thought it better to talk about something else.

Kakashi rubbed the big lump on his head, saw Yuzhi's unruffled expression, and could only offer an awkward smile.

"Why did this happen? Did he use some deceitful trick to fool everyone and become Hokage?"

"Um, Lord Yuzhi, sorry."

Although that line of thinking would normally be correct, Yuzhi recalled that the great Otsutsuki servant hadn't used any ability related to the Bone Marrow Vein.

Bloodline disease was his recent discovery, which made him rather anxious; naturally he didn't want the person he regarded as a younger brother to die from such a bloodline disease.

"Yes, I found some issues in Kumamaro's blood."

Because of Sasuke's birthday that time, he skipped visiting house after house, and now can devote more energy to the matters he cares about most.

"As for you, winning makes me a man who is Hokage; losing makes me a man who becomes Hokage; the difference isn't much, is it?"

Because Ziraiye and Tsunade withdrew, the Leaf Village can only choose three people.

"Hahaha"

After much thought, Yuzhi finally shook his head.

Recalling his own past bid for Hokage and comparing it to Yuzhi now, he was momentarily dazed.

111.253.230.109

But that guy is shameless, which makes Hikari, besides complaining "how did I end up with such a fiancé", seem to have nothing else to say.

Hikari gently leaned against Yuzhi, who casually wrapped his arm around her waist; she glanced at the distant Hokage Rock and then smiled.

Of course, if it's like the original work, such deterrence is indeed strong, and the two of them can only be considered a losers' alliance.

But Yuzhi thinks that's fine, because the next time he meets him he can strike down without hesitation!

Yuzhi whispered a sentence; he knew his main mission was likely still continuing, and that his main line was probably a projection of his deepest inner thoughts.

"From today onward, I am the Fifth Hokage!"

Although Kakashi is older, because of Yano Yu's involvement his relationship with Kumamaro remains quite good.

Beyond mutual contempt as fellow laggards, his hatred toward Yuzhi had already skyrocketed.

Not only him, but Itachi Uchiha as well; both of them refuse to acknowledge Yuzhi as Hokage.

"So that means the higher the talent, the more thoroughly they excavate the 'Bone Marrow Vein' bloodline limit, the shorter their lifespan tends to be?"

Yuzhi slipped on an overcoat, turned his gaze toward the distant Hokage Rock, and felt somewhat dazed himself.

Senju Tobira pursed his lips; although he wanted to say something, he is no longer Hokage now, but after thinking he decided to drop it.

Uchiha Haori didn't deny it; he lightly nodded and then said with a smile.

When he thought that he truly would become "the first Senju to witness the Uchiha becoming Hokage", he really couldn't hold himself together.

Uchiha Haori's own needs could also be fulfilled; he had been waiting for this power to merge all along. —

Time passed slowly, and a week slipped by; the trust vote for the Fifth Hokage was about to begin.

"Tch, I don't care."

Then the matter of the Fifth Hokage could be said to be settled with a single hammer!

If there is one, it seems only Itachi Uchiha; could the Uchiha's "madness" also be a hereditary disease?

"Did you find anything?"

"Did you strike some deal?"

In fact, he hadn't forgotten those words; he's just acting as "Senju Tobira" now.

"Tsunade and I withdrew; Kakashi could have run, but his ANBU reputation isn't enough, and no one knows his strength."

When it came to the punch Tsunade gave a week ago, Ziraiye couldn't help rubbing his chest; that punch was truly deadly.

"It seems the Fifth's candidate has already been revealed!"

He listened to the cheers outside, and at that moment he grew even more excited.

"Don't forget Shisui and me; maybe everyone thinks you'll win, but if they give all the trust votes to Shisui and me, wouldn't you lose?"

Obito was actually quite curious about the little brat Itachi, because he was the one Kuro Jutsu personally rescued.

Of course, no one dared to think too much; slandering the Hokage is not a good thing, especially since an even more outrageous event occurred.

"I don't know the details, but he really has become Hokage."

Of course, he wasn't unaware of Uchiha Haori's reputation in Leaf Village, but deep down he refused to accept that Haori could become Hokage.

"That's literally a genius disease."

Haori couldn't tolerate that; after all, he still lives in the ninja world, and if these lunatics mess things up, would he have to wander the cosmos?

"Moreover, that Moon seems to have been terraformed—green hills and clear waters—so it should be suitable for farming, right?"

The Hyuga's power might truly be the cure for the Bamboo Cutter Clan's madness, and Haori felt he could regard Hyuga and Bamboo Cutter as the "Obito Divine Might Dual Eyes" power.

Obito asked directly, "Even though I don't know the candidate list, after thinking it over, only these two seem most suitable."

Tsunade looked at her "second grandpa", and finally she shook her head helplessly.

It's like the Uchiha; if you say they don't have a hereditary disease, Itachi Uchiha in the original work seems an extreme case.

The original anime was similar; at first the Hokage's art style was wild, but later it gradually improved.

Besides that, what he cared most about was still the experiment concerning the Bamboo Cutter and Hyuga.

All this is somewhat dreamy, but isn't it the result of Haori's effort?

"But the Fifth Hokage isn't the end; I still have many things to do."

"I will create a peaceful world without Uchiha Haori!"

——

Haori stood on the corridor of the Hokage Building's rooftop platform, now dressed in a white-and-red interwoven Divine Garment.

"It's really not, just like big brother's conduct!"

Shisui, hearing that, couldn't help blurting out awkwardly, and what made him more embarrassed was that the two were hugging each other as if no one were there—was that too much?

"You're here, I've already scouted the situation."

Minato knew Ziraiye was also concerned about him; he gave a slight smile and then looked curiously at Ziraiye.

At that moment, their hearts grew more resolute, especially Itachi Uchiha's Thought Steel Seal, which became unbreakable.

"Could a Uchiha Hokage really appear?"

Haori's peripheral glance flicked at the kid Dou, noting that Hyuga and Bamboo Cutter indeed have a deep connection, yet he was also somewhat curious.

"Besides, I'm not opposed; I just don't want to attend the ceremony. Why spout such grand principles? Truly, you're the big brother's granddaughter."

Although everyone knew this election no longer held much meaning, when the trust vote began that morning, the entire Leaf Village fell into a frenzy of excitement.

"Haori! Hikari! Shisui!"

Thus, his upcoming main quest won't be easy, and to accomplish all this he still needs to keep improving himself.

"You"

"Maybe a bit nervous, so I can't help overthinking."

He's had the Eternal Eye for some time, but the issues with Hikari and Shisui remain unresolved.

Looking back, he was once a tiny orphan, forced to graduate early because of war, sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder, and now has walked step by step to where he stands.

After all, this is the day to witness a new generation Hokage of Leaf Village, and no one truly wants to miss it!

"It's time to go, Grandfather."

Along the way he saw the Third Hokage nodding at him, the Second Hokage with a sour expression, arms crossed over his chest yet still watching him, and Minato constantly clapping.

Even though he knew he had no chance, at least he had earned recognition!

"Kakashi, it's a pity the Hokage's aide went to Senior Minato; you'll probably have to wait a bit longer."

At that moment, Kuro Jutsu, accompanied by Half-body White Jutsu, slowly emerged from the ground; seeing the two's gaze on him, he pursed his lips.

The Leaf Village's clamor never ceased, but Haori had no time to bother with it.

Haori has harvested quite a few talents; perhaps because there are many and some are not yet engaged, many of them remain unrealized.

Back then, after that blow, Ziraiye roughly estimated that several of his ribs were broken, and on top of that he was brutally beaten by a group of female ninja in the hot‑spring hall.

Haori smiled at Shisui as a consolation, then thought for a moment and spoke again.

Haori is not unfamiliar with the Bamboo Cutter Clan's hereditary disease; in the original work, Kimimaro died from it.

Although it's a bit inappropriate for him to make such a promise before becoming Hokage, I thought about it and still agreed to him.

From Yuzhi's perspective, the Bloodline Curse seems to stem from a problem in the way one's own bloodline is utilized and cultivated, which leads to this situation.

On one hand, it's Itachi Uchiha.

They kept communicating, kept cheering; all the various sounds gathered together, forming a huge roar that echoed continuously over the plaza.

They only roughly knew that Leaf Village was holding an election, and knew nothing beyond that.

This made it truly hard for them to accept, let alone accept: on what grounds, on what grounds could this shameless thief/cheat become the village's Hokage?

Thinking that almost every member of the Bamboo Cutter Clan is a lunatic, Yuzhi couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Mm, yes."

The reason for coming here is to figure out who my future opponent will be, which also makes it easier for them to deal with it.

This is equivalent to falling into an unsolvable situation: those who can develop their bloodline won't have mental issues, but their lives will certainly be short.

"Oh, you say."

Hikari stepped out from the side at this moment; she also heard Stillwater's words, which made her purse her lips.

"Next time we see big brother, we must give that guy a good lesson; how did she turn Tsunade into this, how much does she actually owe?"

—

In the plaza crowded with heads in front of the Hokage Building, countless people were waiting.

"You bastard, who did you learn that from? You only said half, almost scared me to death!"

Of course, there's a premise here: that he'll become Hokage first.

I unexpectedly discovered that after combining the power of the Byakugan, the deadly Bloodline Curse of the Bamboo Cutter Clan seemed to be somewhat suppressed.

As long as he wants, he can easily return himself to the pure land.

He walked slowly out of the corridor, and the cheering like a tide poured toward him at once; the huge roar filled Yuzhi's ears, and the fervent atmosphere enveloped his whole body.

What on earth gives him that right, why?!

"Ha, my capacity has never changed."

At this moment, a fiery passion burned in both of their hearts, and their eyes stared intently into the distance.

Thinking that he originally was planting vegetables in the garden at his doorstep, only to have Hikari later plant various flower beds, Yuzhi couldn't help shaking his head.

Yuzhi couldn't help murmuring, "Although in hardware (eyes) Itachi Uchiha can't surpass Obito, in software (mind) he can definitely outkill Obito."

"No wonder even Orochimaru couldn't save Kimimaro."

"Are these materials enough for you to use?"

"Based on my research and the data the elder mentioned, I discovered a very serious matter."

He nodded at the crowd, and as Yuzhi strolled to the outer edge of the platform, his gaze fell on the sea of people below, and his smile grew even brighter.

In Hikari's eyes, this approach was practically the same as being perverse!

"Senior, that's impossible for me; stop teasing me."

"And even those with a very low development of the Bloodline Curse can have it; it won't affect their lifespan, but it might affect their brains."

In the Uchiha Clan's Underground Laboratory, Yuzhi looked at Kubo curiously and asked, while Kubo nodded seriously.

Obito and Itachi Uchiha were both stunned at this moment; the answer they most didn't want to hear had actually appeared!

Before Obito could say anything, Itachi Uchiha had already clenched his fist and then whispered.

At this point, Kubo paused briefly, then continued speaking.

Itachi Uchiha shook his head; they hadn't received much news about the Fifth Hokage's election, because by then they had already fled Leaf Village in disgrace.

"By the way, why hasn't Yuzhi arrived yet?"

Senju Clan's Heijian couldn't help feeling a bit annoyed, but in the end he still stood up.

But the necessary procedures still have to be followed; that's unavoidable.

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand."

Ziraiye pursed his lips, then shook his head and quipped.

Yuzhi touched his chin and asked uncertainly.

"Shut up, I don't want to talk to you, who would abandon the Hokage for a hundred million taels!"

Moreover, Stillwater himself was especially excited, because he himself was one of the candidates for Hokage this time.

However, Yuzhi must obtain that Reincarnation Eye; such formidable power constantly eyes the ninja world, and those lunatics on the moon are obsessed with destroying the ninja world.

Yuzhi gave a slight nod, then slowly placed the Hokage hat on his head.

Itachi Uchiha's sudden disappearance raised his alert; although he looked down on the kid, he couldn't deny the kid's talent.

"By the way, senior, Shin senpai and Shuu senpai found me yesterday."

Kubo's expression also turned serious; seeing Yuzhi frown, he quickly said.

Now all of this will end, will be completed; Yuzhi himself feels somewhat incredulous.

The combination of the two truly sparks imagination, especially Lady Kaguya, who displayed the Byakugan and the Corpse Bone Vein's power to the fullest!

"But Kubo is indeed unusually perceptive; he actually guessed correctly."

So where does the Bamboo Cutter Clan's bloodline actually come from? Could it really be the Great Otsutsuki Hane on the moon?

The two cold‑blooded maniacs, both the deranged ones who took part in the Night of Mass Extinction in the original work, were brought together, making Yuzhi have to shake his head.

"Bastard, what's wrong with being young, let alone Lord Yuzhi… has he ever caused trouble?"

Stillwater and Hikari stood on another occasion, but compared with Hikari's warm, tender gaze, Stillwater was constantly cheering passionately.

"The Bamboo Cutter Clan's bloodline power is extremely strong, but there are also some extremely unstable factors, namely their Bloodline Curse."

The two have been completely separated; they possess the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan mental state, yet they seem to lack some power.

"Although your ideas are good, it's a pity."

You had such magnanimity back then, how is it now?

Myocho's whole group are lunatics; in other words, are they exchanging their lives for sanity?

But Yuzhi remained relatively calm; this bloodline inheritance disease truly has no cure, yet he still believes there must be some way, only hasn't discovered it yet.

In the original work, Orochimaru did try to heal Junmaro; after all, for Orochimaru, such an outstanding seed is something he would never abandon.

Extending his hand, Yuzhi took off the conical hat atop his head, then raised it high and shouted loudly.

However, what Kabuto didn't expect was that Yuzhi actually threw a punch at his head at that moment.

"The trust vote has ended; Leaf Village has elected the Fifth Hokage."

That means that as another candidate, Tsunade, also one of the Leaf Village's the Legendary Sannin, also announced her withdrawal!

This news really blew everyone's ears; Ziraiye, at least, could be understood by everyone, because this time he truly messed up, but what happened to Tsunade?

According to reliable intel, last night Tsunade appeared at the birthday banquet that Director Yuzhi held for his godson.

Yuzhi's remark left Hikari somewhat speechless, half laughing half crying; she truly didn't expect such a topic could be joked about by Yuzhi.

And to put it bluntly, if it weren't for the bloodline inheritance disease, Little Lee would probably have died at his hands.

Perhaps I can obtain some answer from the cells, and that way I could also save Junmaro!

"I have untapped talents such as Zhisui's Illusion Technique, Orochimaru's Ninjutsu Modification; besides that, Obito's Six Paths Technique and Madara Uchiha's fused Yin-Yang Release talent are all like that."

As for others who have ideas about the Fifth Hokage, they aren't actually idiots, because they also know exactly what they're worth.

Having been transmigrated to this world for over eighteen years now, and obtaining the main quest 'How Can a Great Man Languish Beneath Others for Long' has also passed many years.

Even though he has a different living environment, his own friends, and bonds formed one by one, his loyalty has never changed.

"This is a trust vote, as long as it passes, then..."

"Yeah, it's time to set off, Fifth Hokage."
