Ninja World Live Stream: Was the Sixth Hokage really that powerful?

"Shikamaru, wake up, let's go eat barbecue!" Choji and Ino called to him from below. He helplessly stretched out his hand to yawn and jumped down from the tree branch.

As the three walked forward, they encountered three people from Sunagakure. A hint of wariness flashed in Shikamaru's eyes, but at the same time, his two childhood friends nudged him in the waist. "What are you doing?"

"Wow, Shikamaru, your period is here," Ino said, her eyes darting back and forth between the female ninja and Shikamaru.

Choji, crunching away on potato chips, wore a gossipy expression, while Kankuro across from him had a dark look on his face. "Hey, you little brat, you're the one who married Temari?!"

"I...I?!" Shikamaru's narrowed eyes widened in an instant as he stared blankly at the female ninja next to Kankuro. Meeting her emerald green eyes, his cheeks flushed crimson. "Marry...her?"

"What kind of expression is that?!" Kankuro was even angrier, cracking his knuckles as if he wanted to hit him. "Is marrying Temari so difficult for you?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he was punched on the head by Temari, who was glaring at him fiercely!

"Are you an idiot?! Why are you saying these things! Who wants to marry this pretty boy?!" Temari's forehead veins bulged with anger. This stupid younger brother! Why did he have to say such embarrassing things? And it seems like he doesn't even know what happened, which makes it even more embarrassing!

"Okay, this is so troublesome..." Shikamaru, who had deliberately covered his eyes to avoid looking, suddenly found out who his future wife was. His cheeks turned as red as a stir-fried lobster, but he still lazily said, "This is so troublesome."

His dream was to marry an ordinary female ninja who was neither ugly nor beautiful, and live a normal, ordinary family life, but that female ninja...

The dead fish's eyes reflected Temari, dressed in fishing nets, with four ponytails, exuding a flamboyant and unrestrained air. His heart skipped a beat; she didn't match his imagined image of her as neither beautiful nor ugly.

She's so good-looking, yet so fierce... she doesn't seem like the kind of person he'd marry.

"Hmph, you brat who only knows how to say 'it's so troublesome,' I hate you," Temari bluntly expressed her disdain. Ino and Choji both felt sorry for their childhood friend, poor Shikamaru!

Hopefully, he won't lose his wife because of this!

With a crackling sound, the light screen started making noise again as they spoke.

It has been three weeks since Konohamaru's last live stream ended.

(Hashirama Senju: Number one! Madara, I'm faster than you!)

(Uchiha Madara: Hmph!)

(Tobirama Senju: ......)

(Uchiha Izuna: What content will we be showing this time?)

Before the screen was even fully lit, the people from Pure Land were already showing up, trying to get attention. It's clear that Pure Land is very bored.

[#RationalDiscussionOnTheNewlyEnactedNarutoElectionLaw#]

Tobirama raised an eyebrow slightly, showing interest. This was a question about the Hokage selection that Sarutobi Konohamaru had mentioned briefly during his last live stream.

Hashirama of the Pure Land pursed his lips, recalling the Hokage selection when the village was first established. He felt a little depressed, as the rift between him and Madara seemed to have started from that time.

[OP: After multiple submissions and revisions, the Naruto voting system is finally here! I checked it out and think it's incredibly generous! What do you all think?]

[1L: It has to be incredibly conscientious! Otherwise, what's the point of making changes?]

[2L: The Sixth Hokage was really daring, just two words: awesome!]

[3L: This wave of reforms primarily affects his own interests, because there's no guarantee that his disciple will become the next Hokage. The Sixth Hokage really has guts!]

[4L: What's going on? School just ended, I haven't had a chance to check yet. What are the new rules?]

[OP: Let me summarize the Naruto voting system. It's pretty much the same as what Konohamaru talked about during his live stream.]

First, the Hokage and higher-ups decide on the next candidate, and then the Hokage is chosen through an internal vote within Konoha Village.

[5L: It's practically a nationwide vote. Everyone except students in the third grade and below at the Konoha Ninja Academy's elementary school and children who haven't entered the school yet has the right to vote.]

[6L: No matter if you're a woman, elderly, or disabled, you have the right to vote. I cried. I never thought I'd have the chance to vote in deciding who the Hokage is.]

[7L: But weren't the candidates already announced? That's not exactly fair, is it? Ultimately, isn't it the Hokage and the higher-ups who decide?]

[OP: The comment above is incorrect. We can't possibly decide the candidates based on what we know.]

[8L: Exactly, the candidates will definitely be those with outstanding achievements; it's clearly stated in the bill.]

[Original Poster: The rules are very clear: if more than one-third of the voters disagree with a candidate, the Hokage and the higher-ups need to hold another meeting to decide on a new candidate.]

[9L: Wow! That's great!]

[10L: I wonder who will be selected as candidates this time.]

[11L: Anyway, Naruto-sama will definitely get in, after all, he's a hero of the Fourth Shinobi World War.]

[12L: Sasuke-sama, Haruno-sama will probably be candidates too.]

[13L: And Shikamaru-sama too.]

[14L: Where's Kiba? I remember he really wanted to be Hokage.]

[15L: No, no, no! I absolutely do not want Kiba Inuzuka to become Hokage!]

"Huh??? Why?!" Ya was immediately exasperated, wondering if he might be one of the candidates.

"Maybe it's because nobody wants to keep a dog," Shino said, pushing up his sunglasses with his hands in his pockets and revealing the truth.

[16L: Me too, because I don't want to have a dog! I'm a cat lover, a cat lover, a cat lover!! I'm irreconcilable with dog lovers!]

[17L: Hahaha, Kiba Inuzuka did a great job during the Fourth Shinobi World War, but he probably wouldn't be cut out to be Hokage.]

[18L: Who wants to be forced to own a dog?]

[19L: By the way, what does Kiba Inuzuka's becoming Hokage have to do with keeping dogs? He does really like dogs, and he's even the captain of the patrol dogs, but...]

[OP: It's said that Kiba Inuzuka's Infinite Tsukuyomi dream was created after he became Hokage, when he made every ninja own a dog and even established a day off for dog owners.]

[20L: Haha ...

[21L: Why is he so silly, hahaha.]

[22L: So the cat faction angrily dragged him down from the Hokage position, thus beginning the infighting between the cat and dog factions in Konoha.]

[23L: Hahahaha, I can't take it, I'm laughing so hard!]

Kiba Inuzuka himself, lying on the table looking aggrieved, said, "Why? Dogs are so cute, wouldn't it be great if everyone kept dogs, right, Akamaru?"

He nuzzled against the little white dog Akamaru and decided that he still had to aim for Hokage! He would defeat the cat party and make all the ninjas in the village own dogs.

"Kiba, do your best," Hinata whispered.

Hearing Hinata's words, Kiba immediately regained his motivation. "Thank you, Hinata!"

"But why does everyone know about my dream? What is that Infinite Tsukuyomi dream?"

“Who knows,” Shino said coolly, “maybe it’s some kind of mysterious ninjutsu.”

(Hashirama Senju: Hahahaha, so cute! Was becoming Hokage just so everyone could have dogs? Kids are so innocent, haha. I really love kids.)

(Uchiha Madara: Stupid.)

They successfully achieved Infinite Tsukuyomi? But why...? Is there a way to break this technique?

Not only Madara thought so, but Obito also frowned, looking puzzled.

The fact that those people spoke of Infinite Tsukuyomi in that tone suggests that their reason for launching the Fourth Shinobi World War was indeed because of Infinite Tsukuyomi, but did they ultimately fail?

. . . . . .

"Madara, what are you thinking about?" Hashirama, who had finally managed to invite Madara to watch the light screen with him, asked him in confusion, but Madara just shook his head, still looking lost in thought.

"I just think it's so stupid." The Infinite Tsukuyomi dream is about becoming the Hokage and then making everyone raise dogs. What a lunatic!

That's not why he activated Infinite Tsukuyomi!

Chapter 53 The Hokage's Term of Office

[OP: Getting back to the point, haha. OP is a Jonin, so your votes carry 30% of the weight. If it were me, I'd definitely vote for Naruto.]

[24L: I'm a genin, only with 10% weight, but I want to vote for the Sixth Hokage! I don't want him to leave!]

[25L: I agree! The Sixth Hokage was amazing, he really deserved to be Hokage!]

[26L: It's only been about ten years since the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, and Konoha has gone from ruins to towering skyscrapers. The Sixth Hokage's achievements are undeniably impressive, so it's not surprising that people want to vote for him.]

Different identities carry different weights of votes... Tobirama pondered this rule carefully, then nodded approvingly, "To come up with such a solution, you're a genius."

In the early days of the village's founding, he did indeed propose the voting system to prevent Madara Uchiha from becoming Hokage.

Just as he expected, Madara Uchiha was not popular at all and could not compare to his older brother.

but......

After being resurrected by Edo Tensei, he witnessed the events that followed and discovered that Madara Uchiha had been hiding in the shadows, plotting something.

Occasionally, a thought would flash through his mind: if Madara Uchiha had become Hokage back then, would everything have been different?

But it was only for a moment.

Given Madara Uchiha's personality, even if he became Hokage, he wouldn't be able to win over the people.

Later, he became the second generation leader.

On his deathbed, he entrusted the position of Hokage to the monkey.

This is what the forum ninjas were saying: they set up the system themselves, and then broke it themselves.

Although the situation was urgent at the time, what he said made sense.

He was the one who selected the monkey; not everyone else did.

It's unlikely that this will convince the public.

So, was it because of his cowardly and kind nature that he needed Danzo to become that sword? A sword to stab his comrades...?

Thinking about these things, Tobirama couldn't help but sigh.

A single wrong thought can lead to a series of wrong steps.

In terms of making good use of talented people, he probably couldn't compare to the Sixth Hokage. He favored his own disciple to become Hokage, but he wouldn't directly put him on the throne.

On the contrary, he set up a series of rules that could be said to prevent his disciples from becoming Hokage.

He probably believes that even if things were done according to these rules, Naruto could still become Hokage.

. . . . . .

"Kakashi, he's really popular! This is youth!" Guy felt his passion reignite. "Let's duel, Kakashi!"

Kakashi, who was out for a walk with Kayla, was speechless. He had run out of the Hokage's office to avoid being discussed about him!

"If I had to say, I'd say Kai is more popular!"
