Chapter 1027 The Fifth Generation Candidate

Looking at Konoha where smoke was billowing everywhere.

Okamoto Dousuke felt mixed emotions for a moment.

"This is war." Okamoto Dousuke sighed.

"It's not your fault." A voice sounded behind Okamoto Dousuke.

"Teacher Jiraiya!" Okamoto Dousuke turned around.

Sure enough, Jiraiya with white hair was looking at him calmly.

Jiraiya is a well-known strong man in the ninja world, so his ability to regulate his emotions is naturally not bad.

At this time, he had long since gotten over the sadness of the Third Hokage's death in battle.

"Damn Orochimaru." Jiraiya's tone was full of hatred.

"Yeah!" Okamoto Dousuke nodded, but did not continue what Jiraiya said.

After all, although he was not the initiator of the Konoha collapse plan, he was also an acquiescer.

"Teacher Jiraiya, I wonder what you are doing?" Okamoto Dousuke naturally changed the subject.

"The Sand Village and the Sound Ninja retreated, and took over the reconstruction work of Konoha. There is another important thing." Jiraiya paused.

Then he looked at Okamoto Dousuke seriously.

Under Okamoto Dousuke's inquiring gaze, Jiraiya finally said: "That is, Konoha needs a new Hokage."

"The Fifth Hokage."

"Oh!! Do you need me to vote?" After hearing Jiraiya's words, Okamoto Dousuke nodded calmly.

As the director of the medical department, he is one of Konoha's top leaders. Now that Konoha is facing such a major event as the election of the fifth Hokage, Okamoto Dousuke naturally cannot be left out.

"Well, go first." Jiraiya opened his mouth and finally just said "hmm".

Looking at Okamoto Dousuke's calm expression, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Okamoto Dousuke does not have such a strong desire to become the fifth Hokage.

This also eliminates Okamoto Dousuke as a suspect.

No wonder Jiraiya suspected Okamoto Dousuke.

What a coincidence.

Just now, there were two people, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu.

Jiraiya had already been found one step ahead.

"Jiraiya, now that the Third Hokage has died in battle, Konoha needs a new Hokage." Time was urgent, so Utane Koharu didn't waste any time.

After finding Jiraiya, Utane Koharu went straight to the point.

"Yes! The Third Hokage died in battle, and Konoha does need a new Hokage."

"What do you think? Just call a jonin meeting." Jiraiya nodded.

The election of the Hokage of Konoha must be chosen from the Jonin Council, and Jiraiya thought that Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were here to seek his opinion.

The Third Hokage died in battle, and Konoha was invaded by war, so Konoha urgently needed a Hokage at this time.

A Hokage with enough weight.

"No, Jiraiya!!" Utane Koharu shook her head.

"We hope that you can become the fifth Hokage of Konoha." Utane Koharu looked at Jiraiya and said word by word.

"Me??" Jiraiya pointed at himself with his index finger and then looked at Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, with a confused look on his face.

"Yes!!" Utane Koharu nodded.

Then he added: "Men Yan and I know that you don't like being bound, so the two of us will help you deal with the affairs of the village."

The two old guys, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, have made very big plans.

If Jiraiya really becomes Hokage, he will definitely not be content to stay in Konoha.

Even if Jiraiya really stayed in Konoha, given his personality he would definitely not handle government affairs. By then, everything in Konoha would be hehehe...

Now that Danzo Shimura is dead again, Konoha will no longer be ruled by these two people.

After the Sand Village and Sound Village fled, in order to prevent other possible situations, Konoha did not send the ninja army to pursue the fleeing Sound Village and Sand Village troops.

Instead, they immediately blocked off Konoha and made an estimate of casualties, property losses, etc.

When the casualties were being counted, Shimura Danzo was hiding as a consultant for Konoha, a clear high-ranking official.

Naturally, his sacrifice was reported immediately.

It was also at this time that Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En confirmed the news of Shimura Danzo's death.

After counting the casualties.

A secret letter from the Fire Nation caught the attention of both of them.

This is a secret letter sent from the Fire Country Daimyo Prefecture.

The secret letter clearly stated that because of the outstanding performance of Konoha's medical director Okamoto Dousuke, it was proposed that Okamoto Dousuke become the fifth Hokage of Konoha.

When I saw the signature of the Fire Country Daimyo Shin Kagami Nakata at the bottom of the secret letter.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked at each other.

They never expected that the Daimyo of the Fire Country would intervene at this time.

Generally speaking, after Konoha elects a Hokage, the recognition of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is required.

But this is usually just a formality.

Although it’s not to say that the Fire Nation doesn’t have the right to recommend.

But under normal circumstances, the Fire Nation has never interfered in the election of Hokage of Konoha.

Unexpectedly, under the current special circumstances, the Fire Nation would directly interfere in Konoha's Hokage election.

He directly proposed that Okamoto Dousuke sit on the throne of the Fifth Hokage.

But Konoha cannot ignore the opinions of the Fire Nation.

After all, Konoha belongs to the Fire Country, and in name Konoha is still under the jurisdiction of the Fire Country.

Under the urging of this secret letter, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En found Jiraiya.

He wanted Jiraiya to take over as the fifth Hokage of Konoha first.

In this case, it makes sense for Konoha to ignore the Fire Nation's proposal.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En thought a lot.

But what they didn't expect was that Jiraiya would object so strongly.

After hearing what Utatane Koharu said, Jiraiya shook his head like a rattle.

Jiraiya naturally agreed with the Fire Nation's nomination of Okamoto Dousuke.

"No, no, no, there is no way I can be Hokage." Jiraiya shook his head like a rattle.

"Since the Fire Nation proposed Zusuke, then we can just hold a Jonin meeting. According to convention, as long as he gets two-thirds of the support, Zusuke can become Hokage." Jiraiya thought about it and suggested with his head tilted.

Originally, I wanted to suggest to Utane Koharu and the others that Tsunade, Okamoto Dousuke's teacher, should be the fifth Hokage.

But now that the Fire Country has nominated Okamoto Dousuke.

He had no reason to object.

Okamoto Dousuke was born into a legitimate Hokage faction and was a disciple of Tsunade, one of the three.

Jiraiya is still Okamoto Dousuke's nominal teacher.

Okamoto Dousuke is very powerful and is also one of the high-ranking officials of Konoha.
