Naruto: Countless versions of myself superimposed at the same time!

"An artificial tailed beast..."

Kiyohara planned to gather some information about Shennong so that he could learn directly from Shennong and speed up the research process.

At the same time, Kiyohara was also thinking about whether he could gradually fill the Tailed Beast chakra into the body of the Gedo Mazo if he obtained a part of it.

Thus, an alternative Ten-Tails was created?

It's important to know that both Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha became Ten-Tails Jinchuriki through the "Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal".

Kiyohara was unsure whether Kaguya had left him any tricks up her sleeve if she obtained the Ten-Tails' power through the "Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal".

After all, after Madara Rokudo had his heart ripped out, he directly became Kaguya's vessel.

"never mind."

Qingyuan shook his head.

Right now, we should focus on dealing with the dragon vein issue.

…………

At the same moment.

Hokage Building, conference room.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.

The final debate is currently underway regarding who will become Hokage.

Chapter 311 The person in charge this time is Kiyohara!

Sarutobi Hitsuji was looking at his two old friends across from him.

Danzo Shimura was not here.

Hiruzen Sarutobi only called for Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

"Speak your mind, what are your thoughts?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Xiaochun remained silent as she moved to her new room, her usually squinting eyes slightly opening.

"Hinzan, are you really sure?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at her.

"You have already heard about the Land of Demons."

He paused for a moment.

"Sealing the demons, winning over the Demon Kingdom, and displaying his strength... everything Kiyohara did exceeded my expectations."

Mitokado nodded.

“Indeed, that child… no, Kiyohara, already possesses the strength of a Kage.”

"It's not just about strength."

Sarutobi Hibiki shook his head.

"Have you noticed the way he handles problems?"

"After sealing the demon, he didn't rush back to claim credit. Instead, he first negotiated an alliance with the daimyo of the Land of Demons, brought the priestess back to Konoha, and had the guards follow her voluntarily."

"He was thinking about the consequences, about long-term benefits."

"Many Jonin cannot do this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag of his cigarette.

To be honest, the village is relatively weak in this area.

It teaches more about how to become a tool than how to control a person.

Therefore, in order to become a Jonin, in addition to strength and mastery of two chakra nature transformations, there is another requirement.

That is having the ability to lead a squad.

"Hinzan, are you referring to the mindset of the original Kage?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

Recently, Hiruzen Sarutobi heard about Itachi Uchiha from Shisui Uchiha.

It is said that the child, despite his young age, was able to think from the village's perspective.

This pleased Hiruzen Sarutobi, who thought that perhaps the Uchiha clan was also undergoing changes.

“Uchiha…”

Mitokado pushed up his glasses.

"Back then, Tobirama-sensei said that the Uchiha clan is inherently evil, but Kagami was an exception, Shisui was an exception, and Kiyohara was an exception."

"If we are not even willing to accept exceptions, then the rift between the Uchiha and Konoha will never be healed."

Xiaochun looked at him as she changed rooms.

"You're supporting Kiyohara?"

Mitokado nodded.

The main reason is that Kiyohara's strength is beyond doubt, and the gathering of the Uchiha clan is no secret to the Konoha leadership.

Kiyohara never joined the Hawk Faction.

Uchiha briefly came into contact with Kiyohara, but did not try to recruit him into any faction.

Therefore, Mitokado En believes that giving Kiyohara a chance is not unreasonable.

"The water gate is also very good."

Xiaochun said, turning to bed.

"A man of great military achievements and excellent interpersonal relationships, he is a representative of commoner ninjas. If he were to become Hokage, those commoner ninjas would be very happy."

"Moreover, he is older than Kiyohara, more experienced, and more mature."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not respond immediately.

During their discussion, the three of them kept going back and forth between Kiyohara and Minato Namikaze.

As for Orochimaru, no one mentioned him.

After all, Orochimaru had long been openly involved with Shimura Danzo.

If Orochimaru had actually become Hokage, it would have been similar to Danzo Shimura becoming Hokage.

Orochimaru, a research-oriented ninja, wouldn't fight for power or profit.

On the contrary, Danzo Shimura will definitely seize the opportunity to make a fuss.

"let me see."

The monkey flies and the sun slashes, lost in thought.

With Minato as Hokage, Konoha will have a smooth transition, civilian ninjas will have more opportunities, and there will be no major turmoil within the village.

But the rift between the Uchiha and the village remained. They still felt excluded and continued to harbor resentment in the shadows until one day, they actually staged a "coup."

If that's the case, the village will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Unless there's a traitor within the Uchiha clan who can coordinate with Konoha from the inside to restrain the Uchiha.

Unfortunately, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, this was almost impossible.

How could there be an Uchiha who sticks their elbow out like that?

It's important to know that the seemingly obsessive Uchiha are actually a clan that "loves more" than any other ninja clan.

That love was too easily out of control, turning into hatred and heading towards the dark side.

Therefore, the Uchiha clan was actually more united than many other ninja clans.

Although Kiyohara became a bridge connecting the Uchiha clan and the village, he was ultimately not a native Uchiha.

It has limited acceptance within the Uchiha clan.

"The historical issues have indeed been resolved."

Mitomon Inflammation Path.

The Uchiha clan was one of the greatest founders of Konoha.

Furthermore, due to the characteristics of the Sharingan, they were unable to disband their clan and integrate into Konoha like the Senju clan.

"Let's go with Kiyohara."

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally said.

"Then I'll do as you say."

Mitokado also nodded.

In Mitokado Homura's eyes, it was about the same whether Minato Namikaze or Kiyohara became Hokage.

As long as these Hokage advisors have the power to check and balance the Hokage's authority, the Hokage cannot act solely according to his own whims.

"I agree."

Xiaochun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's change rooms."

"Then it's settled."

The monkey flies and beheads the sun.

At the same time, we prepared to have the ANBU ninjas inform the Jonin that there would be a meeting at the Hokage Building tomorrow.

……

The next day, at the Hokage Building.

The meeting room was already packed with people.

Nara Shikaku leaned back in his chair.

Akimichi Choza sat beside him, his large frame filling the chair completely.

He scratched his head, moved closer to Nara Shikaku, and asked in a low voice:

"Lu Jiu, who do you think it could be?"

Nara Shikaku lowered his voice and said:

"It was probably decided inside the box long ago."

Choza Akimichi was taken aback.

"If it's pre-arranged, then what's the point of having a meeting?"

"It's just a formality."

Nara Shikaku shook his head.

"The fact that they've kept the top management in a dilemma for so long shows that they are all very capable."

Yamanaka Inoichi, who was sitting on the other side of Akimichi Choza, also came over when he heard this.

"So who do you think it is?"

Nara Shikaku remained silent for a moment.

"It should be Minato Namikaze."

He paused for a moment, then added:

“He’s more experienced, more popular, and…”

He didn't continue.

But both Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi understood.

Moreover, Minato Namikaze represents the common people.

Making a commoner ninja become Hokage is a tremendous inspiration for ninjas without family backgrounds.
