I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

"Fourth Hokage, please don't joke around. I'm just a lowly Jonin. How could I possibly be worthy of such an important responsibility as Hokage?"

Kakashi's face showed visible panic and resistance, indicating that he did not want to take on the position of Hokage. He looked around pleadingly and said:

"I think Naruto, who has already become the savior of the ninja world, is obviously more suitable. If all else fails, having Shikaku-senpai and Shikamaru and his son share the role would be more reliable than me!"

"Kakashi! Don't underestimate yourself. You didn't give up on saving Obito until the very last moment. That alone is enough to prove that you are qualified to be Hokage."

Minato also came over at this moment, looking at Kakashi with hopeful eyes. After not seeing him for many years, Kakashi had really changed a lot and was no longer that awkward boy.

Whether it's his tactical skills, his deep respect for his comrades, or his numerous and uncountable achievements, Kakashi is a worthy and strong contender for the next Hokage.

Among Kakashi's peers, there was simply no one else who could compete with him.

Kakashi looked at Minato and said with a mournful expression, "Sensei, please don't joke around! Besides, I'm not strong enough! Yes! I'm simply not strong enough to become Hokage, after all..."

"It's alright. I believe Naruto and Sasuke are both very willing to assist you as their teacher."

Minato interrupted Kakashi with a bright smile. Kakashi was now truly on the verge of tears. How could he suddenly be the next Hokage?

Is this democracy? It's not democratic at all!

The discussion attracted the attention of others. Tsunade walked over and said, "Kakashi, being Hokage is actually very simple. I will pass on all my experience to you."

"You only need to follow my method, and you will be able to manage this village very well."

After Tsunade finished speaking, Shikaku's face darkened, and he said, "Lady Tsunade, please don't mislead others. If the next Hokage is like you, I'll go back and find a rope to hang myself in the Hokage's office!"

The reason why Shikaku accepted and even agreed to Tsunade's retirement so easily was that he was unwilling to continue the tragic fate that Tsunade had suffered as her strategist.

Even though he was only in a support position, he was busier than the Hokage. He didn't want to live like this for even a day longer.

Now that the great war has just ended and everything is in ruins, the new situation requires everyone in the village to unite and fight for the pie. Even if he wanted to quit, the whole village would support him and make him continue to serve the village.

Therefore, in order to avoid making things too difficult, choosing a reliable Hokage is especially important. Someone like Tsunade is definitely not an option!

It was also because Tsunade was self-aware that she chose to retire at this time. Otherwise, even if Tsunade herself did not step down, Shikaku intended to subtly suggest that Tsunade step down and that a capable person be chosen to take over as Hokage.

While Kakashi was still thinking of a reason, Tatsuma said directly, "I'll have the First Hokage send a notice of Hokage change to the Daimyo in a moment. You just wait to take over."

Under normal circumstances, Kakashi could delay the process, but if the First Hokage were to personally notify him, the process would likely be streamlined, and the Daimyo government would certainly expedite Kakashi's succession.

After all, the First Hokage didn't even need to appear in person; the Daimyo government was eager to allocate funds, fearing it would delay Konoha's war.

Minato patted Kakashi on the shoulder and said, "I was planning to leave today, but I'll stay for two more days to help you with the handover."

Shikaku also stated, "I will also involve that brat Shikamaru in the General Staff to share the burden with you as much as possible."

Tatsuma's hand landed on Kakashi's other shoulder, and instantly Yin-Yang Release was applied, draping a robe with "Sixth Hokage" written on it over Kakashi's body.

"Me."

Clad in a white robe, Kakashi watched as the Konoha ninja, incited by Tsunade and the others, began to stir up trouble, knowing that this was a fate he could not escape.

"I just want to be an ordinary Konoha Jonin."

"Go! Now it's time for you, the Hokage, to give a speech."

Tatsuma shoved Kakashi into the crowd, then smiled and watched as Minato looked on with satisfaction. Then, as if remembering something, he asked:

"Tatsuma, where are the Second Hokage and Gai?"

"The Second Hokage sent Kai back for treatment. Judging by the time, it should be about time."

Tatsuma did some mental calculations. With the Infinite Tsukuyomi dispelled, Orochimaru should have regained his senses and could immediately perform the modified Reanimation Jutsu on Might Guy.

However, Tatsuma does not intend to reveal the truth about the surgery. He will only announce that Kai's treatment was successful, rather than that he was given a new body. After all, this method is against human ethics.

Minato nodded and asked, "How much can be restored?"

"It's hard to say, but recovering his health shouldn't be a problem. Whether he can continue to activate the Eight Gates Formation is another matter."

"It's best not to turn it on."

Minato shook his head. Might Guy had left a deep impression on him, but that method was too tragic. The way he burned his life was far more painful than death itself.

Thinking of this, he looked at Tatsuma and asked with concern, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Like Tobirama, Minato also sensed that Tatsuma's body seemed to have changed again, but he wasn't sure if it was good or bad, so he simply asked directly.

"It's just that it's no longer suitable for combat. Anyway, there's no need for combat in the future, so if we conserve our energy, we can hold out for a few more days without any problem."

Chenma shook his head. He hated being asked the same question repeatedly, but there were always exceptions, such as these genuine expressions of concern.

Minato felt slightly relieved upon hearing this. He looked in Naruto's direction and noticed that Naruto's hand was being held by Hinata, whose face was flushed. He smiled and said:

"That girl... Kushina would definitely like her, and Naruto has finally understood her feelings. What a pity."

Sometimes being alive is something to cherish; I really want to see them truly get together.

"If you want, why don't you just have Orochimaru resurrect you using the Impure World Reincarnation technique when they get married?"

Upon hearing this, Minato shook his head and remained silent. Greed grows little by little in this way. When greed is satisfied, it only leads to increasing greed, not contentment.

"Then I'll find a way to let you, who are in the Pure Land, see it too."

"That's fine."

Minato smiled and nodded, even joking, "If possible, please let me see your wedding."

"This is a bit too difficult."

How tall is it?

"About three or four stories high."

"Hahaha~" (End of Chapter)
