Chapter 441 441 The Fifth Hokage
"Isn't Lin here?"
"Sasuke" asked Yuhi Kurenai after taking his seat.
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the third and fourth floors looked a little sad.
Yuhi Hong said with a sad face: "Mr. Sasuke, Lin... died in the last war."
"Really? Sorry."
"Sasuke" looked embarrassed, and then said with emotion: "This is war..."
After chatting for a while with Yuhi Hong, a group of children whose average age is no more than fourteen years old.
"Sasuke" came to the ninja cemetery in Konoha.
Among them, there are three tombstones located side by side in the highest and most conspicuous position - Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and Uchiha Izuna.
As for Uchiha Izuna's body, according to the world's knowledge, his wife took it away and burned it, and it is not known how it was disposed of in the end.
Uzumaki Mito himself claimed to scatter her husband's ashes in the sky and earth and let them drift in the wind.
What is lying in the grave now is just the ashes of Uchiha Izuna's clothes.
"Sir, do you also come to pay homage to the past Hokages?"
A voice came from behind.
"Sasuke" turned around and saw a man and a woman.
However, he is about twenty years old and his appearance is outstanding.
The man's body is filled with a sunny temperament, which makes people want to get close to him.
Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina!
"So be it."
"Sasuke" responded calmly, staring at the two for a while, "Are you two married?"
"Yes, I just got married recently."
Namikaze Minato smiled in response.
Uzumaki Kushina also blushed and held Namikaze Minato's body tightly.
Namikaze Minato placed the three bouquets of white flowers he brought in front of the tombstones of the three Hokage, and said with a chuckle: "I'm here to thank the past Hokages for blessing Konoha. If they hadn't left such precious wealth for Konoha, I think it will be difficult for us to win this war."
"What will you do if one day they are on the opposite side of you?"
Sasuke asked thoughtfully.
Hearing this, Namikaze Minato raised his eyebrows slightly, then shook his head and said: "No... this question is not valid at all."
"Sasuke" smiled, turned and left, "If you have time, it's better to think about this issue."
"What a strange man,"
Looking at the other person's leaving figure, Uzumaki Kushina mouthed.
Seeing her husband's thoughtful expression, Uzumaki Kushina bumped her husband gently with her shoulder, "What are you thinking about? Minato, you won't really listen to the other party's nonsense, will you?"
"No, no~"
Namikaze Minato smiled awkwardly.
But for some reason, he always felt that the other person's words contained a deeper meaning.
…
Orochimaru, another popular candidate for Hokage, has no intention of worshiping his ancestors.
Now that he has gradually become keen on studying ninjutsu, he has turned a blind eye to everything else.
They even have a relationship with their mentor Hiruzen Sarutobi, but they are also quite unfamiliar.
Orochimaru wanted to become Hokage.
But it's not Namikaze Minato's idea of "protecting Konoha".
But it is to be able to study ninjutsu more conveniently.
After becoming Hokage, not only Konoha's most precious book of seals can be viewed and studied at will.
Moreover, it is much more convenient to capture test subjects for experiments.
In fact, Orochimaru is now quietly seizing ninjas as his experimental materials.
At first he only caught foreign travelers or businessmen.
But it was found that such a person's body was too fragile, so he had to change his target to a ninja.
It is no longer a time of war. Even with Orochimaru's methods, it is difficult to catch ninjas from other countries.
As a last resort, he could only capture civilian ninjas with no family background.
And the one who secretly supports Orochimaru is Danzo!
Danzo also specially provided cover for Orochimaru to prevent Sarutobi Hiruzen from knowing.
But these two people have no trust at all and are completely using each other.
In this election of the Fifth Hokage, Danzo is also on Orochimaru's side.
The reason is the same, just because he and Orochimaru have such a secret relationship.
If Orochimaru can really ascend to power, then Danzo will most likely be able to regain peak power in Konoha again.
Not so with Namikaze Minato.
…
…
Kirigakure Village.
Izuna, Mito, Konan.
The three of them ate around the table like a real family of three.
Today, Xiaonan is almost 18 years old.
Izuna has also remained around thirty years old.
Mito is just like Tsunade in the original work, keeping her appearance around 20 years old.
Said to be a mother, she is actually more like Xiaonan's sister.
Serving the food virtuously, while eating and listening to what Senna saw and heard after going to Konoha this time, Mito's charming face showed a bit of surprise, "That's it...it's already the fifth generation...time It goes by so fast.”
Nearly fifty years have passed.
The end of the Warring States Period seems like it happened just yesterday.
"To be honest, I, the Third Mizukage, have almost reached the end of my career. According to calculations, the Third Mizukage himself is nearly 70 years old, but he has only grown less mature."
Izuna didn't have the demeanor of the [Ninja World Eye Emperor] to the outside world at all, and stretched his waist.
"So, Konan, do you want to try being the Fourth Mizukage?"
Hearing this, Mito looked sideways at Konan
Xiaonan at home did not act like a cold angel to the outside world. She smiled and said: "No, I don't have that talent, but I feel that Mei Mei is a very suitable candidate."
"That child?"
Mito suddenly fell into memories.
Although she comes from a lower-middle-class ninja family, she has two kinds of girls with blood inheritance limits.
"But, is it still too young?"
Mito couldn't help but shook his head.
Although Terumi Mei already possesses the strength of an elite Jonin at a young age, in the final analysis, she is still too young, even too young.
Only 14 years old.
You know, even Gaara became the Kazekage, but it happened after the age of 16.
"Looks like I have to sit in this troublesome position for a while."
Izuna smiled.
…
…
Unknowingly, the election of the Fifth Hokage of Konoha has arrived.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was partial to Namikaze Minato in his heart.
But Orochimaru is his most beloved disciple after all, so he also wants to be as fair as possible.
However, the whole village's voice for Namikaze Minato was too loud.
It can be said that victory was achieved with an overwhelming advantage.
Under such circumstances, I believe Orochimaru has nothing to complain about, right?
The wealthy ninjas headed by Uchiha Fugaku didn't express anything.
They only think about the interests of their own family.
If Namikaze Minato continues to implement Sarutobi Hiruzen's policy of suppressing family ninjas, they will also try their best to force Namikaze Minato to step down.
All in all, it’s the end of Konoha’s 49th year.
Namikaze Minato was only in his early twenties.
This genius ninja, who was born as a civilian, assumed the position of the Fifth Hokage.
