Chapter 376 376 Major families with hidden ambitions (Part 2)

Does the Hatake clan leader want to train Hatake Sakumo to become the next Hokage?

Faced with this topic, the ninja who was born as an ordinary civilian didn't think much about it.

Because the position of "Hokage" is really too far away for them.

Just like Izuna's previous life, they didn't have much interest in who would be elected president.

Compared with those, they are more concerned about their three meals a day, work remuneration and other issues.

But in the eyes of the ninja clan, it is not that simple, especially for the two major families of Sarutobi and Senju.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is the successor designated by the previous Hokage Senju Tobirama.

Although due to various issues such as strength and power, the position of the Third Hokage was ultimately owned by Uchiha Izuna.

But that doesn't mean they gave up their position as Hokage.

Uchiha Izuna is almost fifty this year.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen was just a young man in his twenties.

To put it bluntly, if Uchiha Izuna died, then the position of Hokage should naturally fall on their clan leader.

The Senju clan is no less obsessed with the position of Hokage than Sarutobi.

The object of their hope is Princess Tsunade Hime.

For some reason, the Senju of this generation are going through a difficult period of declining clan power, and no powerful ninja capable of standing alone has been born.

However, Chikazu Senju became the daimyo of the Land of Fire despite not having the talent of a ninja.

Possessing extremely high talent, Senju Tsunade is the eldest granddaughter of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama and a disciple of the third Hokage Uchiha Izuna.

This gave the Thousand Hands clan hope.

One day, the Fire Nation Daimyo will be the leader of their Senju clan.

The Hokage of Konoha Village is the princess of their Senju.

The Thousand Hands Clan will surely achieve unprecedented prosperity.

Today Senju Tomokazu is less than thirty, and Tsunade is less than eight years old.

But these things were exchanged for joining Uchiha.

Until now, they have been suppressed by Uchiha.

As the Senju who had always been Uchiha's sworn enemy during the Warring States Period, this was really hard to accept.

But they didn't dare to resist Quan Nai.

Like the Sarutobi family, they are also aiming to seize the position of Hokage after Izuna's death.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was appointed by the former Hokage Senju Tobirama, was in trouble.

The next thing is Hatake Sagumo again?

The Senju clansmen couldn't help but become a little anxious.

And with the chain effect, many powerful families in Konoha also began to feel itchy.

Among them, there is the Hyuga clan.

Chisato Hinata, the current head of the Hyuga family who is only less than ten years younger than Izuna Uchiha, also knows that he may not be able to take the position of Hokage in his lifetime.

But that doesn't mean the Hinata family has given up.

Originally during the Warring States Period, Hinata was a wealthy clan second only to Uchiha and Senju.

Many people in the Hyuga family now believe that Konoha Hokage has reached the third generation.

It's also time to let people from the Hyuga family sit down.

But now the Hyuga clan also lacks a new generation that is strong or has the potential to be as talented as Tsunade or Hatake Sakumo.

They still have to wait.

As for Kaguya, Inozukacho, Inuzuka and other families with weaker strength.

Although they also can't come up with any strong candidates.

But that doesn't mean they give up.

They are also secretly observing and cultivating their own people.

Everyone is a ninja in Konoha, and the position of Hokage is not monopolized.

Why can big families like you fight, but small families like us can’t?

And even Uchiha, who is now at the peak of power in Konoha, the entire Fire Nation and even half of the ninja world, needless to say.

Human desires are never satisfied.

We Uchiha have the final say in this generation, and so should the next generation!

The Fourth Hokage should also be a member of our Uchiha!

In such an atmosphere, although there was no war, there was an atmosphere of tension quietly spreading in Konoha privately.

Gradually, the graduation season of the new year is coming.

Another person submitted an application for early graduation.

Among them is naturally the much-anticipated genius, Hatake Sakumo.

It is also a small class now, but it has been enrolled for two years. One of the new generation representatives of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Ye.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's nephew, Sarutobi Kosuke, was in the same class as Uchiha Ye and had a conflict with him when he entered school two years ago.

These three people submitted applications for early graduation.

Of course, there are some students who are confident in their abilities, but most of them will not be able to pass.

This time, the examiner was Uchiha Ise, the deputy sent by Uchiha Izuna.

He has been a veteran Jonin since the Warring States Period. No matter how talented Sagumo Hatake is, he is still no match for him.

Inside the ninja school training ground.

Uchiha Ise, wearing a Jonin vest, held two bells, faced the three people, and chuckled: "Okay, geniuses, let's do it."

Hatake Sagumo turned to Uchiha Ye and Sarutobi Kosuke and each cast a look before making an immediate decision: "Kosuke, Ye, please support me with long-range ninjutsu, and I will fight at close range."

The next moment, Sagumo Hatake pulled out the silver sword from his back, and like a flash of lightning, he rushed towards Uchiha Ise.

"So fast!"

Sarutobi Kosuke said in shock.

"Tsk, why should I obey your orders?"

As a second-generation official, Uchiha Ye was very dissatisfied with Hatake Sagumo's arrangement.

But I have to be surprised by the speed shown by Sagumo Hatake.

This boy... is indeed stronger than himself!

boom! ! !

The explosion of the fireball sounded.

Many students who were curious and waiting outside the Ninja School started discussing heatedly after hearing the noise.

And right at the school gate, two children no more than eight years old were leaning against the door, looking into the school with curious eyes.

And these two children, who were less than eight years old, were already wearing vests that could only be worn by chuunin and above.

"Are you here too?"

Jiraiya shouted waving his hands.

Standing at the door were Orochimaru and Tsunade.

Originally, their team had a break today, but unexpectedly they all came to school tacitly.

Orochimaru said indifferently: "I originally just wanted to see the sword skills of the Hatake clan, but I didn't expect that I couldn't enter."

Tsunade put one hand on her hips and said with her mouth open: "Teacher Izuna went out. I happened to pass by, but I didn't expect Orochimaru to be here."

Jiraiya blinked and suddenly remembered something and said, "Speaking of which, that boy seems to have applied for early graduation. I wonder if he can pass this year."

The three of them chatted for a while.

After about five minutes, the sound of ninjutsu explosions from the school playground gradually dissipated.

After a while, the door of the teaching building slowly opened.

Amidst the exclamations of the students watching the excitement.

Only Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Ye, and Sarutobi Kosuke, whose faces were covered with dust and wounds, were seen slowly walking out of the gate wearing Konoha ninja forehead protectors.
