Konoha: The Revival of the Senju Begins with Taking a Concubine

"The position of the Fourth Hokage."

"I won't get involved too much; I'm not cut out for this."

"I choose to withdraw."

"......"

Danzo Shimura voluntarily withdrew.

Soon after, Jiraiya also gave up the opportunity to become the Fourth Hokage.

He came from a commoner background.

He became a disciple of the Third Hokage at Mount Myōboku, one of the three sacred sites for summoning spirits.

He mastered Sage Mode and performed exceptionally well in both the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars, making him far better than Danzo Shimura, who was known for only losing battles.

His life story.

It can almost be described as a story of a commoner ninja's ambition.

but.

Everyone has his own ambitions.

Jiraiya had always been accustomed to a free and unrestrained life. After the war ended, he even thought about traveling to various places to gather materials to improve his 'Icha Icha Paradise'.

As for the position of Hokage, seeing how exhausted the Third Hokage was every day, he couldn't muster much interest in it.

"Jiraiya, you—"

Hear the words.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately showed a look of astonishment.

"I'm not interested in the Hokage, that old man from the Third Hokage."

"Alright, I won't force you."

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could only sigh silently.

Originally, before the Third Shinobi World War began, he planned to have his prized disciple Orochimaru succeed him.

but.

As the war unfolded.

Orochimaru's behavior also became increasingly strange, and he began to pursue the elusive concept of immortality.

For this reason, he not only secretly colluded with Danzo, but also began human experiments.

Even Orochimaru did it very secretly.

But it couldn't escape Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

of course.

As his own apprentice.

Hiruzen Sarutobi ultimately couldn't bring himself to kill his own family for the greater good, and instead chose to turn a blind eye. Furthermore, given the need for Kage-level combatants during wartime, it was even less likely that he would go to Orochimaru's East.

only.

The position of Fourth Hokage is basically out of his reach.

With Danzo Shimura and Jiraiya withdrawing, Orochimaru basically had no chance, leaving only Tsunade Senju and Minato Namikaze as the final candidates.

One is the granddaughter of the First Hokage and a princess of the Land of Fire, with impeccable lineage and top-notch medical ninjutsu.

On the battlefield of the Hidden Clouds.

It also saved many Konoha ninjas from dire straits.

He defeated the Third Raikage and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki head-on, ending the war single-handedly.

.........

One is the rising star, the Yellow Flash, who has mastered space-time ninjutsu.

They are capable of competing with the AB combination of the Hidden Clouds.

In the war against Iwagakure, he also demonstrated overwhelming strength, and his feat of instantly killing fifty enemy Jonin is still well-known to this day.

..........

These two people.

One of them was his own apprentice.

One of them was his own grand-disciple.

Strictly speaking, they are all from the same faction.

However, they all happen to have a deep connection with that guy Senju Seiya!

Tsunade is that guy's wife and doesn't care about her teacher at all. If she had to choose between her teacher and her husband, Tsunade would definitely choose Senju Seiya without hesitation.

Minato Namikaze had received a favor from that guy, but because of the bond of master-disciple relationship, he could at least maintain a neutral stance.

and so.

After some calculations...

The ideas of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura.

The general consensus was that it would be better for Minato Namikaze to succeed the Fourth Hokage.

"Since Jiraiya and Shimura Danzo have both withdrawn."

"Therefore, I hereby announce that the candidates for the Fourth Hokage are Tsunade Senju, Minato Namikaze, and Orochimaru."

"Voting has officially begun!"

"My ticket is attached to Minato Namikaze."

"He has already reached the Kage level at a young age, and he has made countless contributions in this Shinobi World War. Under his leadership, Konoha will surely create new glories in the future!"

"........"

The support of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This naturally also lets his faction know what they should do.

Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane also voted without hesitation to elect Minato Namikaze as the Fourth Hokage.

Ok.

Including Shimura Danzo.

He knew Orochimaru had no chance.

Ultimately, the position of the Fourth Hokage is a choice between Tsunade Senju and Minato Namikaze. Rather than having someone from the Senju clan become the Fourth Hokage, it would be better to have Minato Namikaze become Hokage, since he is still young and easier to fool.

The Jonin and clan heads of the Hokage lineage also cast their votes for Minato Namikaze in a scattered manner.

"I think so."

"Tsunade is more suitable for this position."

"Minato is still young and has a better future. It's much better for him to hone his skills and reach the top than to sit in the Hokage's office all day."

"If he becomes the Fifth Hokage, I have no objection, and I would even wholeheartedly support it."

"and--"

"Konoha Village under the leadership of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage."

"It was a prosperous and thriving place, and not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry dared to mess with it. Only the third generation had some problems. I believe that if Tsunade, the granddaughter of the first generation, were to take over as Hokage, she would definitely be able to restore the glory of the past."

"I'm voting for Tsunade."

"........"

Senju Seiya remained silent throughout.

He slowly stood up, exuding a heavy aura that drew everyone's attention.

it's here.

He sent more than just a wooden clone.

It was Senju Seiya's true form.

The strength of a peak Shadow-level character.

Looking at the entire Hidden Leaf Village, it is one of the top-tier villages.

After he spoke out in support and cast his vote on behalf of the 'Chief of the Senju Clan of the Forest'.

The Inuzuka, Yamanaka, Kurama, Nara, and Akimichi families, who were affiliated with the Senju clan of the Forest, as well as the Hyuga clan who were on good terms with them, all chose to recommend Tsunade Senju to become the Fourth Hokage.

of course.

some of.
