Chapter 71

After receiving the letter of appointment and statement written by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Uchiha Tairi immediately returned to Konoha.

In fact, for him, these things are dispensable.

Only the people in Konoha are afraid of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

After all, the economy of the entire village is heavily dependent on the Land of Fire.

But for Uchiha Tairi personally, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is nothing but a fart and a urinal.

When needed, he can use him.

When not needed, he can naturally kick him under the bed and hide him.

However, the process of appointing himself as Hokage must be followed, and what matters is procedural justice.

Without this letter of appointment, he and the Uchiha clan would be rebels in the village.

The entire Konoha may not be able to maintain peace in the future.

Uchiha Tairi does not want to cause trouble and bring uncertain risks to his plan.

On the other hand, Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen are also on their way back to Konoha.

Looking at the letter of appointment written by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Minato Namikaze looked very embarrassed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was leisurely.

He walked in front with his hands behind his back, looking like he was strolling leisurely.

"Minato."

He suddenly spoke faintly.

"Due to my mistakes in command during the Ninja World War, the village suffered heavy casualties. Now I resign and you are the best choice to take over the position of Hokage."

"You deserve it in terms of strength and popularity. Now it is not just my decision, even the Daimyo thinks so."

"It has come to this point. What else do you have to worry about?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, and slowly stopped, turned his head with his hands behind his back and looked at Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze came to his senses after hearing these words again, and could only shake his head helplessly.

"Third generation, I have already promised Uchiha Tairi..."

He was still thinking about the agreement between him and Uchiha Tairi.

Fulfilling a promise reflects a person's credibility.

But to be honest, at this moment, Minato Namikaze himself was also very conflicted.

Being a Hokage was his dream since childhood.

It was also his ambition to protect the village with his own strength and lead Konoha to a better future.

Now, he was about to realize this ideal.

But he had to give up the position of Hokage because of an agreement.

This is indeed not an easy thing.

Seeing him fall silent, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him deeply for a long time, and then reminded him meaningfully: "Some things should not be said too much."

"However, since you still have concerns, I will make it clear to you, Minato."

"The Uchiha clan is brave but not wise. It is not a wise choice to let them rule Konoha..."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Minato Namikaze's reaction, but turned around and continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "Everything in the village needs to be restored now. What everyone needs is a wise leader to lead them out of the predicament and make Konoha revitalized."

"If even you are not competent for this task, then who do you think can do this in the village?"

The question raised by Sarutobi Hiruzen made Namikaze Minato unable to answer.

He had never thought about this.

Now that he was asked this question, he thought about it carefully and realized the consequences of many connections involved behind this matter.

If he did not become the fourth generation Hokage, either Uchiha Dali would take the stage, or other ninjas in the village would become the fourth generation Hokage.

And the one with prestige second only to him was Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas.

Whether it was Uchiha Dali or Orochimaru, in fact, after thinking carefully, Namikaze Minato felt that he did not know them too well.

It seems that it is not a wise choice to hand over the village to someone he does not understand.

"If I don't want to give up being the fourth generation, then how can I explain this to Uchiha Tairi?"

Namikaze Minato was in a complicated mood. Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who had already walked away, he quickly flashed and followed him.

Now, we can only take it one step at a time and go back to Konoha first.

...

Uchiha Tairi returned to Konoha from the capital of the Fire Country Daimyo through the advanced version of Flying Thunder God.

With the letter of appointment and the statement written by the Daimyo himself, Uchiha Tairi went directly to the two major advisors of Konoha.

Looking at the letter of appointment in front of him, and the handwritten letter from the Fire Country Daimyo canceling the appointment of Namikaze Minato as the fourth generation Hokage.

At this moment, the faces of Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En were extremely solemn.

"So you areDo you really want to be the fourth Hokage?"

Utaine Koharu frowned and looked up at Uchiha Dairi.

And Mitomon En also said: "Do you know how to handle the affairs of the village? Being a Hokage is not as simple and easy as sitting in an office."

Hearing this, Uchiha Dairi smiled slightly.

He did not speak, but walked around the long conference table and came behind the two consultants, Utaine Koharu and Mitomon En.

Reached out and put his hands on their shoulders.

Uchiha Dairi could clearly feel that the bodies of the two consultants trembled slightly.

"At this time, isn't it time for you two veteran consultants to come on stage?"

"You are old, and it is time for you to retire. The village is still spending a lot of money to support you, not to ask me questions, but to help me solve problems. "

These words made Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En look at each other.

The two knew that they had been completely controlled by this young man, and protesting now would be a foolish act.

The old thief Shimura Danzo didn't care about the life and death of Konoha at all, and he was extremely selfish.

He planned to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the Uchiha clan and the legitimate heir Namikaze Minato.

Who can't see this little trick?

Since we can't rely on that thief-minded old guy, we can only let Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third Hokage, and Namikaze Minato, the future legitimate candidate for the fourth Hokage, come back to deal with it themselves.

At the same time, we hope that Uchiha Dali will not make the problem too big.

"We are the village's consultants. One of our main responsibilities is to assist the Hokage in his work, help the Hokage provide guidance, and better govern the village. Of course, we will not neglect our duties."

"Okay, since you know your responsibilities, there is no need to say more about the rest. "

Uchiha waved his hands vigorously, interrupting Mitomon En's voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a captain of the Anbu appeared in front of them and half-knelt on the ground.

"Report, the Third Hokage and Minato have arrived at the village entrance."

The captain of the Anbu reported to Mitomon En and Utane Koharu.
