The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"How can that brat Hyuga Hakugetsu become Hokage?!" Danzo slammed his fist on the table and roared angrily.

What a joke! Although he had considered bringing Hyuga Hakugetsu up to compete against Kakashi, and even recently had someone raise Hakugetsu's reputation during the ninja academy's class assignments.

That kid could be Hokage, but definitely not now!

Recalling the time when Bai Yue made a deal with him, he sold the information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki without hesitation, showing no ruthlessness in disregarding the fact that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was the child of his teacher who died in battle.

This made him notice Bai Yue and feel that Bai Yue was the same kind of person as him.

To be honest, he quite admired Hakugetsu. If Hiruzen hadn't forbade it, and if the Hyuga clan hadn't been so adamant about not allowing it, he would have wanted to bring Hakugetsu to Root and make him the second Root master.

But now, Nara Shikamaru has gone mad and wants to nominate Byakugetsu as Hokage!

He absolutely will not allow it!

"Hyuga Hakugetsu is strong enough to become the Fifth Hokage, both in terms of strength and achievements!" Nara Shikaku looked at the roaring Nagagaku and silently took a small step back, afraid that Danzo's spittle would splash on him.

"What achievements did he make?!"

"He suppressed the Nine-Tails, thus saving many comrades. Not long ago, he killed Orochimaru, who attacked the village and caused the Third Hokage's death, and even captured the One-Tail Jinchuriki of Sunagakure!"

"Orochimaru... " Danzo swallowed the words "He's not dead."

"What happened to Orochimaru?" Nara Shikaku tilted his head and looked at Danzo, understanding dawning on him. Sure enough, Danzo must have been involved in Orochimaru's attack on the village.

It is even quite possible that many of the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja hiding in the village were smuggled in from him.

"It hasn't been officially confirmed that Orochimaru is dead yet, so the achievement of suppressing the Nine-Tails alone is not enough to make Hyuga Hakugetsu the new Fifth Hokage of Konoha!" Danzo said coldly.

"How did Lord Danzo know that Orochimaru, who was reduced to a bloody mist, could still survive?" Staring intently at Danzo, Shikaku tried to glean something from his expression.

How did I know? Of course, Orochimaru told me himself!

"Orochimaru has too many tricks up his sleeve, and he's already developed a secret technique that can take over other people's bodies. He can't possibly die so easily!" As he said this, a glint of greed flashed in Danzo's eyes. That was the technique for immortality!

"Shikaku, it's true that Hyuga Hakugetsu is very strong, but in terms of achievements and strength, our Konoha has Jiraiya and other excellent ninjas who are enough to become Hokage."

"In terms of achievements, Hyuga Hakugetsu is indeed inferior to others, but in terms of strength, who can instantly kill Orochimaru with a single palm strike, turning him into a bloody mist? Jiraiya? Tsunade? Danzo assisting you? Or perhaps your advisor Homura? Or your advisor Utatane?"

Silence fell upon those words.

Danzo, in particular, recalled his recent meeting with Orochimaru, who told him that he had almost been killed by the White Moon twice.

Indeed, it is a good thing to have a powerful person as the village's shadow.

Aside from Shikaku, they were all from Konoha's most prosperous era. Back then, Konoha possessed two top-tier fighters. Who would dare to provoke Konoha? Everyone would have to put on a smiling face.

Later, Madara Uchiha "defected," and the First Hokage died from his injuries. Not long after his death, the major ninja villages began to stir, and the First Shinobi World War broke out.

If Bai Yue truly possessed the strength of the First Hokage, then they would genuinely consider appointing him as the Fifth Hokage.

Unfortunately, Bai Yue has only made a few moves. To judge his true strength based on these few scattered clues is simply wishful thinking. And without being able to ascertain Bai Yue's true strength, how could they dare to take the gamble?

Shikaku was aware of Hakugetsu's strength, which was the main reason he wanted to recommend Hakugetsu as the fifth generation leader.

Having a powerful ninja as the village's kage provides an absolute sense of security.

However, Shikamaru didn't have much hope, because Hakugetsu was just too low-key.

So far, he has only made two moves that are known to the public, although each one was quite shocking.

On the night of the Nine-Tails, it went against the current and saved many ninjas. Some people still remember the figure of the White Moon even after more than ten years.

Not long ago, he directly broke the Four Purple Flame Formation that had baffled many people and "killed" Orochimaru. Although he couldn't save the Third Hokage, it was the Third Hokage who used a technique to perish together with him.

"Hey! What are you chatting about? You seem to be having a lot of fun?!" Jiraiya appeared when the Hokage meeting room was silent.

"Lord Jiraiya, we want you to become the Fifth Hokage," Shikaku said directly.

???

What do you mean? Weren't you just recommending Hyuga Hakuzuki? How come you've changed people so quickly?

"No way! I'm not suited to be Hokage! How could I possibly spend all my time in an office dealing with all that troublesome stuff?!" Jiraiya immediately and without hesitation refused. "What? Don't you have a suitable candidate?"

"There's one for now," Shikaku said directly, then glanced at a certain pot-pot-hidden person out of the corner of his eye: "And there's another shameless guy who wants to be Hokage."

"Who is it? Tsunade?"

"No, it's Hyuga Hakugetsu," Danzo suddenly said.

!!!

No, why are you acting so strangely, you old rascal?

Not to mention Lu Jiu was stunned, even the two old fogies were dumbfounded.

How could Danzo possibly say such a thing?

Weren't you just vehemently opposing it? How come you're suddenly saying it so sweetly?

"Hakugetsu?!" Jiraiya was stunned. He never expected that these people would suggest Hakugetsu as Hokage.

Moreover, judging from this situation, it seems that even Danzo is somewhat inclined to support him?

"Isn't this... a little too strange?" Jiraiya looked around at the group, his eyes filled with confusion.

He's only been away from Konoha for five, six, seven, eight... ten years. Have the Konoha leadership all gone this crazy?

"Lord Jiraiya, there's nothing strange about it." Shikaku was also a little confused. He didn't actually have high hopes that Hakugetsu would become Hokage.

The reason for bringing this up, and for insisting on it so much, is twofold: firstly, to investigate Danzo, and secondly, to bring up Hakugetsu in order to lay the groundwork for the election of the Sixth Hokage.

After all, Bai Yue is still very young.

But now even Danzo seems to be considering supporting his idea, so it's really worth a try.

"Although Hyuga Hakugetsu is very low-key and has only made two moves so far, his strength is indeed formidable, even though his achievements are slightly less impressive. He is certainly more suitable to become the Fifth Hokage."

"When he was six years old, he once restrained the rampaging Nine-Tails. Not long ago, he killed Orochimaru..."

"No, based on my understanding of Orochimaru, he wouldn't have come to Konoha and caused such great destruction without being fully prepared..." Jiraiya's face immediately darkened: "So it's very likely that he's still alive."
