At the same time, traveling through time, starting from subverting the war at the top

Chapter 137 A bit interesting

"and many more!"

Just as Lin Mo turned to leave, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

tread.

Lin Mo stopped and turned to look at the person who had spoken, saying, "What, does your Nara clan have a problem with this?"

The one who spoke up to stop Lin Mo was none other than Nara Shikaku, the head of the Nara clan and a Konoha Jonin.

Not only Lin Mo, but all the other Konoha people present also turned their attention to Lin Mo.

Their eyes were full of doubt and confusion.

Why keep this killer who was willing to leave on his own?

Moreover, in everyone's eyes, Nara Shikaku, who is known for his calmness and wisdom, is not the kind of person who would risk the lives of his entire clan to avenge Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The powerful clan leaders present were all shrewd and calculating; they would never risk their own people's lives for the sake of a dead Hiruzen Sarutobi. They even immediately restrained the impulsive younger members of their clans.

In fact, only a hot-blooded young man like Might Guy, without any elders of his clan present, would almost do something so reckless.

Other young people are either mature enough, like Kakashi, or they are stopped by their family elders.

"You misunderstand, sir. How could I possibly have a problem with you?"

Nara Shikaku first bowed to Lin Mo, then said respectfully, "In fact, I would like to ask you to stay and serve as the Fifth Hokage of our Konoha Village."

!!!

The Konoha members all wore expressions of utter shock, and the way they looked at Nara Shikaku seemed to say something.

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're saying?"

"How can a demon who slaughtered Konoha ninjas be made Hokage?!"

Even though the clan leaders thought so, none of them dared to say it out loud. The thought of Lin Mo easily slaughtering the four clans, including Sarutobi, with a wave of his hand, and the terrifying speed at which he killed Sarutobi Hiruzen, sent chills down everyone's spine.

This strength has completely exceeded their expectations.

Perhaps only those legendary ninjas can compare to them.

Shoot the first bird.

The person who speaks first at this point is practically asking for trouble.

Lin Mo looked at Nara Shikaku in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips, his face showing interest.

interesting.

The Nara clan truly deserves its reputation for producing wise men.

Lin Mo glanced at the people of Konoha and said with a smile, "It seems to me that the others don't really agree with your suggestion."

It was clear from their eyes that although these people feared Lin Mo, it was impossible for them to wholeheartedly recommend him as the new Hokage.

"Please give me three minutes, sir."

Nara Shikaku first bowed to Lin Mo, then turned to the Konoha members and said, "This concerns Konoha and the survival of your respective families, so I won't waste any more words. You are all aware of the current situation in Konoha. The Nine-Tails' attack nearly destroyed Konoha, and a group of elites, led by the Fourth Hokage, bravely sacrificed their lives."

"Now, the Uchiha, Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, and Mito clans—all five clans—have been wiped out. How many high-ranking combatants does Konoha still have?"

"I believe news of tonight's events will soon reach the other four great nations. The Land of Lightning has been eyeing us covetously for a while, but hasn't found a good opportunity. If they knew that Konoha, including the Hokage, had all its high-ranking officials killed overnight, the Root organization was wiped out, and the ninjas of the four great clans were almost entirely wiped out."

"If you were them, what would you do?!"

After hearing Nara Shikaku's words, everyone present changed their expressions drastically.

The clan leaders present were all the backbone of Konoha. None of them were fools. The reason they hadn't thought of this before was because they were completely stunned by Lin Mo's actions.

Yamanaka Inoichi felt his mouth go dry. He swallowed and said, "I'm afraid the Fourth Shinobi World War will be launched, and this war will be a joint effort by the other four great nations against the Land of Fire."

While you are sick, I will kill you.

At that time, let alone Konoha Village.

It's uncertain whether the Land of Fire will even survive in the end, considering that it has always occupied the most central and fertile region of the world.

Based on everyone's understanding of the other countries, this kind of thing is absolutely possible.

Putting ourselves in their shoes, if other countries were experiencing such a major upheaval, Konoha wouldn't be able to remain inactive either.

The current territories of all countries were won through countless battles.

Nara Shikaku took in everyone's expressions and knew they had taken his words to heart. He held up two fingers and then said, "Now we have two paths before us."

"The first point is to rely on our own strength to face the upcoming Fourth Shinobi World War. As I mentioned before, Konoha is currently lacking in high-end combat power. Take the Land of Lightning as an example. Who among us can deal with a monster like the Fourth Raikage? You all should know the strength of him and his brother during the Third Shinobi World War. If it weren't for the Fourth Hokage, we don't know how many more people would have died."

"At the end of this road, there will most likely be the extermination of the race and the destruction of the country."

Nara Shikaku's voice faded.

The faces of everyone present turned extremely ugly, and they all cursed Danzo and the other Konoha leaders for being inhuman. If it weren't for their involvement in the Uchiha clan massacre, Konoha wouldn't be in its current predicament.

Nara Shikaku lowered a finger as he spoke, then continued, "The second path, in my opinion, is the best choice at present. That is to elect Lord Uchiha Mo as the new Hokage of Konoha."

"The Uchiha clan was one of the two original clans that founded Konoha Village, so it's perfectly appropriate for him to serve as Hokage. Moreover, everyone has witnessed Lord Mo's strength. He is like an army of thousands on his own. With him around, no matter how many of those villains from the Land of Lightning come, they will all die."

Upon hearing this, many people's expressions changed, realizing the truth of what Nara Shikaku had said.

It should be noted that Lin Mo easily annihilated four clans with a mere gesture.

He definitely has the strength to withstand the attack from the Land of Lightning.

Nara Shikaku began, "Alright, everyone, let's start voting now. Will you choose the first path or the second path? The future of your clans and Konoha Village is in your own hands."

For the patriarchs of the various families present, family interests were paramount.

When faced with the life and death of the family, everything else must give way.

They had already made their choice.
