Chapter 163 Hokage Candidate

When Yuxi heard Sarah's words, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

She patted Sarah's shoulder gently, giving her a feeling of encouragement and support.

"Sarah, you made the right decision."

"However, migration is not a simple matter and requires careful planning and preparation." Her voice was gentle but firm, full of unshakable authority.

"I will use the power of the dragon veins to temporarily protect Loulan and buy more time for your migration." Yu Xi said

She waved her fingers lightly, and a warm and gentle energy surged out from her palms and slowly merged into the dragon vein.

As energy was injected, the dragon vein began to emit a faint light, as if responding to Yu Xi's orders.

This ancient site is covered by an invisible shield, like an impenetrable fortress.

"Remember, no matter how great the difficulties and challenges are, you must not lose hope and courage. As long as we have faith in our hearts, we can overcome everything." Yuxi looked at Sarah with a determined light in her eyes.

Sarah felt Yuxi's determination and strength, and she nodded to show that she understood.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was observing quietly from the side, her eyes showing both recognition of Yuxi's ability and admiration for Sara's indomitable spirit.

"Sarah, your loyalty and wisdom are a blessing to Loulan. If you need us, we will do our best to help you even though we are far away." Her voice was cold and deep, but it revealed an unquestionable commitment.

When Sarah heard this, tears sparkled in her eyes and her gratitude was beyond words: "Sarah will never forget the help from you two adults." She bowed deeply to express her respect and gratitude.

After saying that, Yuxi and Kaguya Otsutsuki exchanged a tacit look.

They knew that the purpose of this trip had been achieved and it was time to leave this place.

As a ray of light flashed by, the two figures gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Thank you..." Sarah looked at the gradually disappearing light, her heart filled with gratitude and admiration.

The Konoha Village was quiet at night, but the atmosphere in the Hokage's office was extremely tense and serious.

A group of important people were sitting in the room, and they were discussing an important matter concerning the future of Konoha Village - the issue of the Hokage candidate.

"The Third Ninja World War is over, and now we must decide on the next Hokage as soon as possible." A Mizuto Kado En said seriously.

"That's right. If there is no suitable candidate, Konoha Village will fall into chaos." Utane Koharu echoed.

At this time, Shimura Danzo narrowed his eyes and said: "I think Orochimaru is very suitable as a candidate for Hokage. He has great strength and wisdom, and can lead Konoha to prosperity."

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately retorted: "Orochimaru's personality is not suitable for being a Hokage. He is too cold and cruel, and may bring disaster to the village."

"I agree with Sarutobi. We need a gentle, kind and capable leader to lead Konoha." Mitomon En said

"Then, who is more suitable?" asked Utane Koharu.

"I believe that Namikaze Minato is qualified to be a candidate for Hokage both in terms of reputation and strength." Sarutobi Hiruzen said firmly.

After a moment's silence, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, Minato Namikaze's performance in the war was impressive. Not only did he possess great strength, he also won the trust of the villagers."

"He is an upright and kind person. He will definitely become an excellent Hokage." Mitomon En said affirmatively

After hearing the suggestions of the three people, Danzo Shimura's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Damn Sarutobi!" he cursed in his heart.

He pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered something.

"Hmph! Half a year has passed, and it seems that Lord Yuxi has never returned. He has gone to another time and space, and his life or death is unknown." Danzo said seriously.

His words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the silent Hokage's office, and every word hit the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer.

When the name "Yuxi" was mentioned, Utane Koharu and Mitomon En's faces turned pale instantly.

The gazes they gave each other were filled with endless fear.

The air in the room seemed to freeze, and the tension was suffocating.

Shimura Danzo's words were like a sharp blade, cutting through the already tense atmosphere.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned tightly, and a mixture of disbelief and anger flashed in his eyes.

He stood up suddenly, his voice trembling slightly with suppressed anger: "Danzo, how dare you say such a thing!"

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En's faces also turned pale. They did not expect Danzo to mention Yuxi at this critical moment, and they did not expect him to use such disrespectful words.

Mitomon Yan was furious, slammed the table heavily, and shouted: "Danzo, do you know what you are talking about? How can we easily judge the strength of Master Yuxi?

"If she really gets angry about this, Konoha might no longer exist!"

The entire conference room fell into a deathly silence, with only the heavy breathing of the crowd coming one after another.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden change and was speechless, with their hearts filled with anxiety and worry.

Seeing this, Danzo Shimura curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer and looked at everyone with cold eyes.

He seemed to be unconcerned about the public's anger and instead seemed somewhat pleased with himself.

He stood up slowly, straightening his body slightly as if to show his confidence.

His eyes swept across everyone's faces, revealing a look of disdain and provocation.

Shimura Danzo's voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of provocation in his tone: "I'm just stating the facts, what's wrong with that? Well, I won't mention Master Yuxi anymore."

"But don't you understand yet?"

"What Konoha needs now is not a weak and incompetent leader, but a truly capable and courageous person to lead."

"Only in this way can Konoha survive in this turbulent world and even achieve glory!"

"If we cannot elect a suitable leader, Konoha will not be able to cope with the challenges ahead." Shimura Danzo's voice echoed in the air with unquestionable power.

As his voice fell, the whole room fell into dead silence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed in anger, he knew Danzo's ambition and methods very well.

But at this moment he must stand up to maintain Konoha’s dignity and stability: “Danzo, I know your thoughts very well.

"But I want to tell you that the future of Konoha should not be decided by you.

"Namikaze Minato, he is our common choice. His qualities and abilities are enough to shoulder this important task!"

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En nodded in agreement.
