Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching - Chapter 680

c675 Mu Yue is the one that everyone wants

“How could my Five-Escape Continuous Bullet…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes suddenly and looked around subconsciously, only to realize that he was at home and not fighting Soyousuke.

“Phew, I actually had a nightmare.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and exhaled it, then stretched out his hand to rub his forehead, which made him feel better.

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the clock and saw that the time was just a little earlier than his usual time to get up, so he simply got up.

After washing up and finishing breakfast, Sarutobi Hiruzen went directly to the Hokage’s office and started working.

“I’m going to talk to Mu Yue about Sosuke’s affairs at noon today.” Sarutobi Hiruzen thought after processing a few documents.

No matter what, Mu Yue is Konoha’s Hokage assistant.

It’s understandable that he just came back yesterday and was in a mixed mood and didn’t say anything. It would be outrageous to keep putting it off. He couldn’t hide such important information just for the sake of face.

Boom boom.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the Hokage’s office.

“Enter.”

Minato Namikaze pushed open the wooden door and walked into the Hokage’s office, “Sandaime-sama.”

“It’s Minato, what’s the matter?” Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pen and asked.

“I’m here to report on my work with you, regarding the recent identification of special jounin.” Namikaze Minato explained.

In particular, Jonin is a very special group.

The original intention of Konoha to establish this level was to bring up some talents who were not strong enough or who did not meet the official Jonin standards, but who had special talents.

But with development, an unspoken rule was gradually added. Even if you don’t have special talents, you can be promoted to a special jounin if you have enough merit and qualifications.

Now that the war is over, it is natural to promote a group of meritorious old chuunin.

Otherwise, based on the high standards of Konoha’s jounin, most ninjas would have no need to struggle when they reach chunin, because they will never be promoted to jounin.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked like he was listening.

This is not a trivial matter, especially if you are a jounin, you are also a jounin. It is very difficult to be promoted based on merit.

“Well, you did a good job.” After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

Unlike Jiraiya, the teacher, Namikaze Minato is a ninja that Sarutobi Hiruzen considers to be second only to Muzuki in reliability.

Namikaze Minato smiled modestly and prepared to leave.

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of something and stopped Namikaze Minato.

“I see that there has been a lot of discussion in the village recently about the Fourth Generation. Some people think it is better for the Sannin to succeed, while others support young ninjas like Mu Yue.

Minato, your teacher is Jiraiya, and Mozuki is also your friend. What do you think about this? “Sarutobi Hiruzen asked curiously.

In fact, he mainly wanted to ask what he thought of Mu Yue, because Jiraiya didn’t want to be Hokage at all, but that was too deliberate.

Namikaze Minato stopped and turned back to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen, showing a serious thinking expression, and then said:

“I think Mu Yue is more suitable to become Hokage.”

His teacher, Minato Namikaze, knew it all too well. Jiraiya didn’t want to be Hokage, nor was he suitable to be Hokage. It was hard for Minato Namikaze to imagine Jiraiya being Hokage.

Tsunade suffers from hemophobia. Unless Tsunade overcomes this, Namikaze Minato feels that Tsunade is not suitable to become Hokage.

The Hokage rarely fights in person. It’s not necessary at all. And when it comes to the stage where the Hokage is needed, the Hokage’s combat effectiveness will be very important. How can he fight if he has hemophobia.

As for Orochimaru, Namikaze Minato felt inferior to Mugetsu.

Mu Yue has the wood style of Thousand Arms Pillars. Although Mu Yue is not of any family’s bloodline, she is extremely orthodox. This is a victory.

Mu Yue has the strength to surpass Orochimaru, and defeated the Fourth Kazekage at extremely fast speed on the battlefield, which was his second victory.

Among the three battles, Mu Yue was the most accomplished ninja in Konoha, and this was a three-win victory.

Namikaze Minato felt that as long as he was willing to think about it, he could help Mu Yue win ten games, because Mu Yue was really good.

“It seems that Minato, you are very optimistic about Mu Yue being the Hokage.” Listening to Namikaze Minato’s serious expression on Mu Yue’s advantages, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

“Maybe you two will compete in the future. Some people in the village are very optimistic about you.”

Judging from the inheritance of the sect, Minato Namikaze is the direct descendant of the Hokage. If it develops for a few more years, his reputation may surpass that of the Sannin.

It is impossible to surpass Mu Yue. There are many similarities between the two sides, and Mu Yue is so much stronger. Most people will not choose Namikaze Minato when facing Mu Yue.

“Then I will probably lose miserably.” Namikaze Minato smiled.

You can’t blame others for this. If Mu Yue becomes the fourth generation candidate, Namikaze Minato himself would like to vote for Mu Yue.

If he really wants to compete with Namikaze Minato, he will not surrender, but with his current ability, he is indeed no match for Mu Yue, who can lead Konoha further.

Looking at Namikaze Minato with a gentle face, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn’t help but think of Shimura Danzo.

Why could Minato Namikaze say such things so calmly, but Danzo Shimura had such a deep obsession even after he did not become the Third Hokage.

Does this official have to be Hokage to be considered great?

“Sandaime-sama, if there is nothing else, I will go back to work first.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and watched Namikaze Minato leave.

Five minutes later, Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe, exhaled thick smoke, and called the ANBU at the door: “Invite the two advisors here.”

He is indeed not suitable to continue to be Hokage, and he actually has nightmares related to Soyousuke.

Konoha needs a strong and confident young ninja more than him, an old wrongdoer.

For the sake of Mu Yue, who is highly regarded by the public, let him go his own way again.

“Hiruzen, is there something…”

“I want to resign from the position of Hokage and start the election of the Fourth Hokage.” Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted directly.

Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu were dumbfounded. After thinking about it all night, they only considered this?

“Huruzen, this is a big deal…”

Mito Kado En wanted to persuade him but was interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen again.

“At work, it is called position.” Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table with his fingers.

Mito Kado En was a little helpless, but this was also in line with the rules. He had no choice but to change his words:

“Third generation, the war has just ended. Konoha needs you to preside over the overall situation and maintain stability. Four years, wait four years to elect a new Hokage. I support it with both hands.”

Utatane Koharu also persuaded him, but Sarutobi Hiruzen remained unmoved.

“I am the Hokage!” Sarutobi Hiruzen said firmly.

Mito Kado En was speechless and realized Sarutobi Hiruzen’s determination.

“Have you forgotten the consequences of being stubborn? You will regret it.”

Utatane Koharu made a final effort.

“I am stubborn, but Mu Yue is the one that everyone wants.” Sarutobi Hiruzen said meaningfully.

Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En fell into silence.

“Six years, in six years, I will ensure that your positions will not be affected.”

After six years, they will be sixty years old, which is considered old in the ninja industry. They should step down and give newcomers a chance.

“Let’s discuss the election.” Mito Kado En said.

The three of them discussed until noon, and then Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the Anbu to notify Mu Yue to go to the conference room for a meeting.

He originally wanted to talk to Mu Yue about Sosuke at noon, but the high-level meeting was more important at the moment, so Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to talk after the meeting.

In the conference room.

When the four high-level executives were all present, Sarutobi Hiruzen said:

“This meeting is mainly to determine the election of the fourth Hokage.”

When saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a special look at Mu Yue.

“Electing the Fourth Hokage now?” Mu Yue was a little surprised.

It’s not that Mu Yue is narcissistic. Electing the Hokage at this time can only be because Sarutobi Hiruzen wants him to be the Hokage.

After thinking carefully, Mu Yue felt it was reasonable.

Because of his reservation, Konoha did not lose anything this time. Sarutobi Hiruzen’s mistake was not big, at least not to the extent of resigning from the position of Hokage.

But one thing should be considered. He performed too well and Sarutobi Hiruzen trusted him very much. In this case, it is normal for Sarutobi Hiruzen to have the idea of ​​letting him succeed in advance.

“I almost made a big mistake and I am no longer suitable to continue to serve as Hokage.” Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly.

Because it was a high-level meeting, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say too much, but briefly explained the motivation for re-electing the Hokage.

“What do you think about the nominees for the Fourth Hokage?” Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around and asked.

He was going to pass it to Mu Yue, but this process could not be him directly giving orders, and then Mu Yue would become Hokage, but it had to be carried out through elections.

The reason why Senju Tobirama could pass the throne to him directly was because it was a very important war period at that time, and special matters were handled specially.

It is against tradition to pass the throne directly in peacetime. The first Hokage of Konoha was the result of a joint vote by all Konoha people.

“I think Assistant Mu Yue is qualified and capable of serving as the fourth generation, and can be one of the nominees.” Mito Kadokawa said.

He hoped that Sarutobi Hiruzen would take the position the most, but since he had to choose, he would definitely choose the best.

“Assistant Mu Yue has made great achievements on the battlefield, I agree.” Utatane Koharu nodded in approval.

Mu Yue sat silently without saying anything. In fact, he wanted to say that I have an opinion and I don’t agree, but this is about his own nomination, and he can’t express his opinion.

“Then the first nomination is determined like this, are there any more?” Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and continued to ask.

Since it is an election, there can’t be only one candidate, otherwise what is there to choose.

“I think Orochimaru also has the ability to become a Hokage, and can be one of the nominees for the fourth generation.” Utatane Koharu suggested.

There are only a few people in Konoha who are qualified to be candidates for Hokage. Tsunade and Jiraiya don’t want to be Hokage, and it’s not good to force them to be candidates. The only one left is Orochimaru.

“Orochimaru has been fighting for Konoha on the battlefield for many years. He has made great contributions. I agree.” Mitomon Yan agreed.

“With Orochimaru’s qualifications and strength, he is indeed qualified to be the fourth generation. I agree.” Mu Yue also nodded.

After all, he is his partner, so give him some face.

“Then the second nomination is confirmed to be Orochimaru.” Sarutobi Hiruzen made the decision.

“I think Minato should also be nominated. He is excellent and has made a lot of contributions to the village.” Mu Yue thought about it and said.

Mu Yue didn’t have any idea about Hokage, but in the current situation, Mu Yue didn’t want to be Hokage, and there were a lot of people begging him to be the Hokage. Even if he wanted to give it to Namikaze Minato, it might not work, and Namikaze Minato might not accept it if he forced him to.

He nominated Namikaze Minato not to become Hokage, but to give Namikaze Minato a chance to go further.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen and his team do not reject Minato Namikaze’s nomination, then Minato Namikaze will be like having once been a real candidate for Hokage, and his status will be different.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen and his team reject it, then Mu Yue will promote Minato Namikaze to a senior position, and Sarutobi Hiruzen and his team will not be able to reject it again.

“Minato is indeed outstanding, but it is not appropriate to nominate him. He is still lacking compared to you, Mu Yue.” Mitomon En said after exchanging glances with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

There is no clear limit to the nomination of two people for the Hokage. It is fine for Mu Yue to nominate another person, but this person cannot be Minato Namikaze.

It is not that they have any objections to Minato Namikaze, but Minato Namikaze’s qualifications are slightly problematic.

Although Mu Yue is as young as Minato Namikaze, Mu Yue’s contributions are exaggerated. He has turned the tide of the war many times and captured thousands of Mist Ninjas alone.

Minato Namikaze’s excellence is not enough to make up for his qualifications. If Minato Namikaze is nominated, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some senior ninjas who have made many achievements on the battlefield.

Although they did not perform as well as Minato Namikaze in the Third Ninja World War, they also made contributions in the Second Ninja World War. Overall, they are not much different. Why can Minato Namikaze be nominated?

Even if he is not elected in the end, it is considered that he almost became the Fourth Hokage. For many Konoha ninjas, it is an honor and recognition.

“Minato needs more training. It is too early for him to become Hokage.” Utatane Koharu also expressed his opinion.

“Then Mutsuki and Orochimaru are tentatively selected. Is there anyone who wants to nominate? If not, the nominees are determined.” Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to ask.

Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En shook their heads.

The three of them had already discussed it. Mutsuki and Orochimaru were nominated. Orochimaru was the runner-up. Others simply did not nominate.

“I have no objection.” Mutsuki replied.

His goal has been achieved.

“Since the opinions have been reached, a meeting of the jonin will be held in a week to formally vote for the election of the Fourth Hokage.”

There are two rounds of voting. The first round is the jonin voting. Although the number of people is small, the weight accounts for a large proportion, about 40% of the total vote. The winner can basically lock the position of Hokage.

The second round is the middle and lower ninja voting and the ordinary people voting, each accounting for 30%.

The voting is not over yet, there will be a meeting with the Daimyo and the high officials of the Land of Fire.

The Daimyo must personally confirm that there is no problem before deciding who will be the Hokage, and finally hold a formal ceremony for the succession of the Hokage.

Of course, this is basically a process, and the Daimyo will not reject the candidate given by Konoha.

On the surface, Konoha is only the military force of the Land of Fire, but in fact, Konoha is a country within a country, and the Daimyo has no control over Konoha at all.

PS: The existence of the Daimyo in the original work is quite subtle, sometimes it feels high in status, but in fact it is just like that.

Danzo even dared to make threats openly during the meeting.
