Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

Nara Shikaku smiled faintly, a hint of profound wisdom flashing in his eyes, and a touch of smugness on his face. He looked at Yun An and smiled slightly: "In this way, the village has gained another reliable advisor."

"Since that's the case, Yun'an, then many of my senior positions..."

Upon hearing this, Yun An vanished without a trace using a teleportation technique.

Want to assign him tasks?

Absolutely impossible.

"That brat."

When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw this, he shook his head with a wry smile, but a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

If Yun An had been just a tiny bit more diligent, he would have passed on his Hokage position to him long ago.

After all, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, the compatibility between the Hokage position and Yun An was simply too great.

Even among the current candidates for Hokage, few can probably match him; that is where Yun An's talent lies.

"You really don't plan to compete for Hokage anymore?"

As dusk settled, the streets of Konoha were bathed in a warm yellow glow.

Yun An and Orochimaru were walking side by side when Orochimaru looked at him with a teasing expression.

Yun An curled his lip and laughed: "What's so good about being Hokage?"

I wielded immense power, but within this ninja world, my strength is already formidable enough.

Strength is power. If you are controlled by power, it only proves that your strength is not strong enough.

Rather than continuing to manipulate power, I much prefer the feeling of becoming stronger.

Orochimaru nodded in agreement with Yun An's statement, but only smiled slightly.

After all, strength and the essence of life are what truly interest him.

Besides, power was merely an important stepping stone for him to achieve strength; its place in his heart had never been as high as he had imagined.

"That's fine then. In that case, my opponents will only be Sakumo, Jiraiya, and Tsunade."

Orochimaru said in a relaxed tone, "Tsunade probably won't get involved. She'll probably be spending her time with you as a wife and mother."

As for Jiraiya, he'll probably withdraw on his own initiative.

Then, only Sakumo Hatake remained.

"Is he still alive?"

Yun An raised an eyebrow and asked.

"certainly."

Orochimaru chuckled softly.

Yun An couldn't help but want to call out to the system, but the system had obviously chosen to play dead, and had already warned Yun An in the morning, so there was no use in calling it at this moment.

It can only be said that Yun'an ultimately fell short by one step.

The Hatake clan is just a small, basic ninja clan within the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

However, it must be said that after the emergence of Sakumo Hatake, known as the "White Fang of Konoha," this small ninja clan became incredibly famous throughout the village for a time.

Especially during the Second Shinobi World War, Sakumo Hatake single-handedly changed the course of the war, making him the hope of many civilian ninjas in the village.

Even though he was outcompeted by Minato Namikaze during the selection of the Fourth Hokage, Sakumo Hatake did not become discouraged. Instead, he continued to hone his skills and become even stronger.

these years.

Rumors circulate that his strength is comparable to that of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu."

Therefore, with the upcoming selection of a new Fifth Hokage, many people in the village can't help but discuss it.

He will definitely run for office.

"Lord Sakumo Hatake was one of the strongest shinobi in our village. Back then, the Sannin were just listed alongside Lord Sakumo."

"That's for sure. Just because Lord Sakumo failed last time doesn't mean he'll fail again this time. Besides, after so many years of brewing, Lord Sakumo's supporters are growing more and more."

"So, Kakashi, you'll be the Hokage's child from now on."

On the streets of Konoha, Might Guy, who had just finished training and was covered in the sweat of youth, was walking towards Kakashi Hatake with his apprentice Rock Lee. He couldn't help but tease him with a curious expression.

Kakashi rolled his eyes. He wasn't wearing a mask, and he didn't have a Sharingan transplanted into his other eye.

With ample chakra cultivation, his strength has long since reached the level of an elite Jonin, and he is only one step away from Kage level.

His early life can definitely be described as smooth sailing, and now he is in charge of the Anbu leadership. Among the younger generation, he can definitely be called the chosen one before Naruto and Sasuke grew up, and he has not disgraced his father, the White Fang of Konoha.

It is precisely because Kakashi's rise to power is so similar to that of Hatake Sakumo that their reputation as powerful figures has spread so widely throughout the ninja world, especially within the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Even though Sakumo Hatake has not appeared in public for a long time, it has not affected his influence in the entire village.

After all, the future of the village belongs to the young people, and Kakashi, to a large extent, also represents the deterrent power of Sakumo Hatake, the former White Fang of Konoha.

"It's not that simple."

Kakashi touched his nose, his tone tinged with helplessness, "The competition for Hokage this year is fierce. Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade are all on the list, especially Orochimaru."

His research received support from countless people in the village.

"Can my father... be selected to become Hokage?"

Kakashi, for a moment, could hardly believe it when he said this.

One day.

His father could truly become the legendary Hokage.

Although when I was a child.

He had always dreamed of this, but now, as he gets older, he realizes just how naive many of those childhood ideas were.

Especially in the last two or three years, the changes in the village feel greater than in the previous one or two decades combined.

A village like this naturally needs a Hokage who is more suitable for it.

Otherwise, it would only cause the entire village to regress and plunge it back into the flames of war.

This is not a scene that Kakashi, or even the Hatake clan, wanted to see.

Kakashi voiced his thoughts, but Might Guy, being simple-minded, clearly hadn't thought that far ahead. He simply sighed with regret, "That's a bit of a shame."

"Where did you get these soldier rations?"

Kakashi suddenly looked at Might Guy's outstretched palm.

"You mean this? Of course, it's Uchiha relief food."

Might Guy scratched the back of his head and laughed heartily, "Although I am now a Jonin, it is still very hard to teach Little Lee, so Little Lee's relief food is sometimes given to me, his master."
