Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 153 The Fifth Hokage, the True Ascension to Godhood!

The following day, a major event was reported in Konoha.

Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha and a candidate who was originally eligible to run for the Fifth Hokage, announced his withdrawal from the election.

The reason is quite simple: he was seriously injured and unable to run for office.

Upon hearing this news, the people of Konoha found it extremely absurd, because it was no secret that Jiraiya had been punched into the hospital by Tsunade after peeping at the hot spring.

Although it's really unknown who Jiraiya learned from, his lecherous nature is no secret to the people of Konoha.

"Is it innate, or is it from the third generation?"

Of course, no one dared to think too much about it, as making irresponsible comments about Naruto was not a good thing, especially since something even more outrageous had happened.

That is, Tsunade, another candidate and one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, also announced her withdrawal from the election!

This news really shocked everyone. At least everyone could understand Jiraiya, because he really embarrassed himself this time, but what happened to Tsunade?

According to reliable intelligence, Tsunade appeared at the birthday party held by the Haori Department Head for her godson the night before.

The two exchanged a quiet word, and then Tsunade happily announced the news.

"Did some kind of deal come to fruition?"

Such a sudden change makes it hard not to think in this direction, because it's all too bizarre.

That very night, many ninjas spotted Tsunade at various card guilds in Konoha, and quite a few even heard her say something like, "I'm not short of money."

Now that both of them have withdrawn from the race, there aren't many options left for everyone.

If no new candidates emerge, Konoha will hold a vote of confidence, and the Daimyo will personally visit Konoha.

Therefore, the matter of the Fifth Hokage can be considered settled!

"Is it really possible that an Uchiha Hokage is about to appear?"

"I'm just asking you, what's wrong with Lady Hagoromo?"

"Everything about him is fine, except he's too young."

"Damn it, what's wrong with being young? Besides, has Lady Hagoromo ever had any problems?"

The noise in Konoha never stopped, but Yuri didn't have time to pay attention to that right now.

Because of Sasuke's birthday that time, he was spared the need to visit each household individually, and now he can focus more of his energy on the things he cares about more.

On one hand, there's Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi's sudden disappearance alerted him. Although he looked down on this kid, he couldn't deny the kid's talent.

And it seems that only Obito, that lunatic, could save this kid under such extreme circumstances!

"So, these two are still together after all?"

Yuzhi couldn't help but murmur. Although Uchiha Itachi couldn't compare to Obito in terms of physical attributes (eyes), he was far superior to Obito in terms of intellect (brain).

The fact that two cold-blooded lunatics, both of whom participated in the night of the massacre in the original story, had come together made Yuzhi shake her head.

Of course, if the original story's deterrent power is indeed very strong, then these two can only be considered a loser's alliance.

However, Yuzhi thought this was good, because the next time she encountered him, she could just kill him without hesitation!

Besides that, what he was most concerned about and most interested in was the experiment involving Taketori and Hinata.

"Are these materials enough for your needs?"

Inside the Uchiha's underground laboratory, Haori looked at Kabuto with curiosity and asked him a question, to which Kabuto nodded seriously.

"I think that's enough for now, but there's something I must remind you of, Lady Hagoromo."

"Oh, go ahead."

"Based on my research and the information the adults have mentioned, I have discovered something very serious."

At this point, Dou paused slightly before continuing.

"The bloodline power of the Bamboo Clan is extremely strong, but there are also some extremely unstable factors involved, namely their bloodline disease."

"A bloodline disease?"

Haori was no stranger to the bloodline disease of the Taketori clan, as Kimimaro died from it in the original story.

And to put it bluntly, if it weren't for his bloodline disease, Xiao Li would probably have died at his hands.

However, in Yuzhi's view, bloodline disease should actually be caused by problems in the use and development of one's own bloodline, which leads to such a situation.

Take the Uchiha clan, for example. If we're talking about whether they have any bloodline diseases, Itachi Uchiha in the original work seems to be an extreme example.

If we're talking about those who have them, it seems like there's only one: Itachi Uchiha. Could it be that the Uchiha's "psychosis" is also a bloodline disease?

"Did you discover anything?"

Yuri stroked his chin and asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Yes, that is, I found some problems in Kimimaro's blood."

Kabuto's expression also turned serious. Seeing Haori's furrowed brows, he quickly spoke.

"Actually, it has been mentioned in some documents that every member of the Bamboo Clan seems to have a very short lifespan; according to records, they all died from bloodline diseases."

"So, they've discovered that the more talented a member of their clan is, and the more thoroughly they unlock the 'Corpse Bone Pulse' bloodline limit, the shorter their lifespan tends to be?"

Yuzhi frowned even more; this was not good news for him.

Kimimaro was someone he brought back, and he quite liked this extremely loyal little guy.

Even though he had a different living environment, made his own friends, and formed many bonds, he never changed his loyalty.

Hearing this news now has made Yuzhi unhappy, especially since she herself has the talent and ability to "adapt to the bloodline of the Bamboo Clan".

If higher talent really does make one more prone to problems, then that would be absolute poison for Yuzhi!

"No wonder even Orochimaru couldn't save Kimimaro."

Thinking about this, Yuzhi seemed to understand Kimimaro's situation in the original work.

In the original work, Orochimaru did try to save Kimimaro, after all, for Orochimaru, such an excellent seed was something he would never give up.

Even with his methods, he was still helpless against Kimimaro's bloodline disease.

This frustrated Yuzhi, as the mediocre ones were fine, while the more talented the clansmen were, the earlier they died.

"This is practically a genius's disease."

Thinking of this, Yuzhi frowned slightly. The Kaguya clan was a scoundrel, but he hadn't expected them to be this treacherous.

"Moreover, their bloodline disease may also be present in people with very low levels of development. Although it will not affect their lifespan, it may affect their brain."

After all, their madness is probably due to their bloodline.

The thought that almost everyone in the Kaguya clan was a madman made Haori shake her head slightly.

This is equivalent to being trapped in a very unsolvable situation. People who can develop their bloodline will not have brain problems, but they will definitely not live long.

Those who live long lives are all lunatics. In other words, are they trading their lives for sanity?

However, Yu Zhi remained relatively calm. He acknowledged that there was indeed no cure for this bloodline disease, but he still believed that there must be some way, even though he hadn't found one yet.

Perhaps, the power of Hyuga

"However, sir, in combining Hyuga's research, I also discovered a very interesting phenomenon."

Just as Haori was pondering, Kabuto gently pushed up his glasses and spoke softly.

"Although I only had one Byakugan before, the power of the Byakugan effectively suppressed or even compensated for some of the things that the Kaguya clan lacked."

I was surprised to find that, after combining the power of the Byakugan, the deadly bloodline disease of the Kaguya clan seemed to be suppressed to some extent.

Unfortunately, the materials are too few, and the power of the Byakugan is not as direct as that of bloodline. Now I think I can better prove all of this.

Actually, I'm now wondering if the Hyuga clan has some connection to the Kaguya clan, because normally such a situation shouldn't happen.

Perhaps I can find some answers within the cells, and that might save Kimimaro!

Although Kabuto is older, he still has a good relationship with Kimimaro because of Nonou.

He had recently discovered a bloodline disease, which made him quite anxious. Naturally, he didn't want his brother, whom he considered his younger brother, to die from this bloodline disease.

But now things are better. With so many materials, he can do his research more effectively. Curing Kimimaro is also his motivation.

boom--

However, to Kabuto's surprise, Haori punched him on the head at that moment.

"You bastard, who taught you to only say half of what you mean? You almost scared me to death!"

"Um, Lady Hagoromo, I'm sorry."

Kabuto rubbed the large bump on his head, and seeing Yuu's displeased expression, he could only offer an awkward smile.

His "suppressing first, then praising" approach was intended to make Yuzhi take it more seriously, but now it seems that Yuzhi does indeed take it seriously, and he seemed to have overdone it.

Yuri glanced at Kabuto, who looked embarrassed, but he couldn't help but nod inwardly, just as he had thought.

Hyuga's power is probably a way to alleviate the Kaguya clan's neurosis, and Hagoromo feels that he can see Hyuga and Kaguya as the power of "Obito's Kamui eyes".

The two were completely separated. They possessed the Byakugan's mental state, but they gave the impression of lacking some kind of power.

This limits them to a decent level, preventing them from progressing further, as their own strength and the current state of the Byakugan seem to restrict them.

The Bamboo Clan, on the other hand, is all about physical strength, but they act like madmen, and their strength is actually mainly manifested in physical techniques.

The combination of these two elements is truly intriguing, especially since Princess Kaguya demonstrated the power of the Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku to the fullest extent!

"But Kabuto is really incredibly perceptive; he actually guessed right."

Yuri glanced at Kabuto out of the corner of her eye. Hyuga and Taketori did indeed have a very deep connection, but she was also a little curious.

So where did the bloodline of the Kaguya clan come from? Could it really be the Otsutsuki Hamura on the moon?

While it's perfectly reasonable to think that way, Hagoromo remembered that Otsutsuki Toneri didn't seem to have used any abilities related to Shikotsumyaku.

"Forget it, why think so much?"

After much thought, Yuzhi finally shook her head.

"Anyway, no matter where they come from, their bloodline has become diluted due to thousands of years of reproduction, or even due to the splitting of their bloodline, which has led to their current situation."

If this problem can be solved, then everything will be fine, and solving this problem will not only save Kimimaro.

Hagoromo's own needs can also be met; he's been waiting for this power to be integrated into his being.

Time flies, and a week has quietly passed. The vote of confidence for the Fifth Hokage is about to begin.

In fact, this vote of confidence is not very meaningful to outsiders, because with Jiraiya and Tsunade withdrawing from the election, Konoha only has three people to choose from.

As for the others who had designs on the Fifth Hokage, they weren't actually idiots, because they knew their own limitations.

Rather than losing face, it's better to cast your precious vote and make a good connection.

This resulted in this Hokage election being the most predictable yet most interesting one yet – three Uchiha clan members vying for the Hokage position.

Although everyone knew that this election was no longer of much significance, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was still thrown into a frenzied excitement on the morning the vote of confidence began.

Groups of people emerged from their homes, weaving through the village's streets and alleys, gradually forming streams of people.

Amidst the laughter of children, the shouts of vendors, and the cacophony of conversations, people flocked to the Hokage Building from all directions.

After all, this is the day to witness the emergence of a new generation of Hokage in Konoha, and no one really wants to miss this day!

"It's time to go, Grandpa."

"Hmph, I'm not going!"

"You are the second generation, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you not to go?"

"Shut up! I don't want to talk to someone like you who would give up the Hokage title for a mere 100 million taels!"

However, there are always exceptions. In the medical department's laboratory, Tsunade looked at her second grandfather, who was throwing a tantrum, with some distress.

The fact that she "sold" her Hokage nomination spot for 100 million ryo eventually came to the attention of Tobirama Senju, nearly driving the Second Hokage to his death with rage.

Of course, he was already dead, so at most he would just return to the Pure Land, and he almost did just that.

He was the inventor of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and whether intentionally or not, his Impure World Reincarnation technique had a "backdoor" that allowed users to break free from control.

If he wanted, he could easily return to the Pure Land.

However, considering that even if he left, he would probably still be summoned again by the Impure World Reincarnation, he did not have the impulse to "die".

But the thought of becoming "the first Senju to witness the Uchiha clan become Hokage" made him almost lose his composure.

He just couldn't understand why Tsunade would give up her dream of becoming Hokage for that damn 100 million ryo. Was she really his granddaughter?

"No, not at all, he's just like his older brother!"

Suddenly, Tobirama remembered something: his older brother had been eager for Madara Uchiha to become Hokage.

Tsunade voluntarily sold her spot to Uchiha Haori. These two are really family. How did she end up with these two scoundrels after all her lifelong reputation?

"I never wanted to be Hokage in the first place. It's my own business if I give up. If you're unhappy, then go compete for it!"

Tsunade also got a little annoyed and retorted with dissatisfaction.

If her teacher hadn't repeatedly asked her to bring her grandfather along, saying it was to avoid any negative influence, she wouldn't have bothered at all!

"Also, are you even the Hokage of Konoha? The new Hokage is taking office. Even if you're a reanimated Edo Tensei, shouldn't you be there to attend the ceremony?"

"you"

These words really stung Tobirama Senju. He wanted to give it a try, but what could he do in his current wretched state?

As for what happened during his peak period.

He felt confident in his abilities, reasoning that since there was no outcome since they hadn't fought, no one could predict the result!

"Alright, don't be angry. Aren't the Uchiha clan members of Konoha?"

Tsunade looked at her great-uncle, and finally shook her head helplessly.

"When you were Hokage, you hated them, but weren't you following your grandfather's wishes, treating them kindly and hoping they would change?"

Perhaps you failed back then, after all, Kagami-senpai didn't have the abilities of Haori and the others, but now everything has come true, can't you be a little happier?

I remember the teacher saying that you once told him, "If I were Tobirama Senju, I might do it that way, but as the Second Hokage, I need to consider things from the village's perspective."

"You had such magnanimity back then, how come you are now?"

"Tch, my magnanimity has never changed."

Tobirama Senju pursed his lips. Although he really wanted to say that he was no longer the Hokage, he decided against it.

However, I felt much better; it was good that my words were still remembered.

Actually, it's not that he's forgotten those words; it's just that he's now known as Tobirama Senju.

"Besides, I didn't object. I just didn't want to attend the ceremony. Why preach such grand principles? You truly are worthy of being my elder brother's granddaughter."

Tobirama Senju felt a surge of displeasure, but he eventually stood up.

Ultimately, he was still the Second Hokage of Konoha, so even if he was unhappy about the ceremony, he still had to attend.

Even if the Fifth Hokage of Konoha was an Uchiha!

"But next time I see my brother, I have to teach that guy a lesson. How did he raise Tsunade like this? How much money does she owe?"

-

In the crowded plaza in front of the Hokage Building, countless people were waiting.

They were constantly exchanging words and cheering, and all sorts of voices came together to form a huge wave of sound that echoed continuously in the sky above the square.

"Minato, how does it feel?"

On the rooftop of the Hokage Building, Jiraiya gazed at the bustling plaza before him and couldn't help but ask Minato in a low voice.

"I feel great, don't worry, teacher, I'm fine."

Minato knew that Jiraiya was concerned about him, so he smiled slightly and looked at Jiraiya curiously.

"Speaking of which, how are you now, teacher? I remember you seemed..."

"Hey, don't even mention it, that Tsunade really doesn't know her own strength."

When Jiraiya mentioned being punched by Tsunade a week ago, he couldn't help but rub his chest; that punch was truly deadly.

Jiraiya, who was hit at the time, roughly estimated that he probably broke several of his ribs. In addition, he was also beaten up by the group of female ninjas in the hot spring.

Those female ninjas all looked exceptionally gentle, but when they started fighting, they were like tigresses. If he hadn't been thick-skinned, he might have really been killed there.

He's only able to be lively and energetic now because of Tsunade's superb medical skills; otherwise, with his injuries, he probably wouldn't have been able to get up for at least a month and a half.

"Tsunade really made a good deal, earning a hundred million ryo for free. She can gamble for a long time now."

"Hahaha"

Minato was speechless for a moment after hearing this, he hadn't expected Tsunade to do something so outrageous.

Thinking back to when he was vying for the Hokage title, and comparing it to how he is now, he was momentarily dazed.

He couldn't say for sure who had it easier, him or Yuzhi, since he had been "guaranteed" admission, while Yuzhi had been "given away" for free.

"By the way, I heard that Yuri is planning to make you Hokage's assistant?"

Seeing that Minato seemed a little lost in thought, Jiraiya assumed he was thinking about the Hokage again and immediately interrupted him.

"Yes, that's right."

Minato nodded, then smiled.

"Although it's a bit inappropriate for him to make such a promise before he's even become Hokage, I thought about it and agreed to it anyway."

After all, being the Hokage's assistant isn't that busy. He can take care of Kushina and Naruto, and I can also use my Hokage experience to help him.

Of course, there's a prerequisite: let's talk about it after he becomes Hokage.

"Tch, who else can compete with him?"

Jiraiya pursed his lips, then shook his head and complained.

"Tsunade and I both withdrew from the selection. Kakashi could have been selected, but he didn't have enough reputation in the Anbu, and no one knew how strong he was."

Hiashi Hyuga might have a chance, but the Hyuga's reputation was built through the efforts of the branch family; they don't have that opportunity.

As for Shisui and Ying, one is his younger brother and the other is his wife. How could these two possibly compete with him?

He's a shoo-in; in my opinion, there's no need for a vote of confidence, just let him take office directly.

"Should we still follow the procedure?"

Minato was also somewhat embarrassed. Although Jiraiya's comment was correct, looking at Konoha at the moment, Hagoromo was indeed the only one who could rival him.

But the necessary procedures still need to be followed; there's no other way around it.

"Speaking of which, why hasn't Haori arrived yet?"

"Why should he rush? In the end, it'll all be his anyway."

Jiraiya stretched lazily, then said with a smile.

"All we have to do is watch him climb onto the platform and receive the cheers."

-

"Senior, are you really not in a hurry?"

At Yuri's house, Shisui looked at Yuri and Hikaru's unhurried manner and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Please, what's the rush? The time isn't up yet."

Looking at Shisui, who had dressed himself up so exquisitely, Yuzhi couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Especially noticing the bloodshot eyes, it seemed he hadn't slept well last night.

"This is a vote of confidence; if it passes, then..."

Shisui pursed his lips, unsure how to continue, as it seemed that Yuzhi truly had no rivals.

During this period, Shisui was extremely excited, and not only him, but the entire Uchiha clan was as excited as he was!

More than fifty years have passed since the founding of Konoha, and the Uchiha clan, one of the founding families of the village, has yet to produce a single Hokage!

Now that this destiny is about to be broken, the entire Uchiha clan is already in an uproar.

Moreover, Shisui himself was extremely excited, because he was one of the candidates for Hokage this time.

Even though he knew he had no chance, at least he gained recognition!

"What's there to get excited about?"

At this moment, Hikari walked out from the side. She had also heard what Shisui said, which made her purse her lips.

"Besides, they chose a pervert, a pervert who's getting increasingly outrageous."

The last sentence was just muttered quietly and not spoken aloud. This guy's hands are getting more and more rude. Besides kissing, he wants to kiss every part of the body.

This practice seems utterly perverted to Guang!

But this guy was shameless, so all Hikaru could do was complain about how she ended up with such a fiancé.

"By the way, senior, senior Xin and senior Xiu found me yesterday."

Zhi Shui looked helplessly at the engaged couple in front of him, and decided it would be better to talk about something else.

"They told me they planned to find the best craftsmen in the Land of Fire to create the Hokage Rock statue."

"Don't they have anything better to do? Won't Konoha send someone to handle it themselves?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhi raised an eyebrow. He had just been "extorted" 100 million ryo by Tsunade, and now he had to pay for the statue himself?

Even landlords don't have that much surplus grain, do they?

"Finding someone yourself is fine too. You wouldn't want your statue to look so ugly on the Hokage Rock, would you?"

She found these words somewhat amusing, and after glancing at the Hokage Rock outside, she made a sarcastic remark.

Hearing this, Yu Zhi couldn't help but peek out. He noticed that the craftsmen hired by Konoha didn't seem to have done a very good job.

The statues on Hokage Rock are repaired and renovated every now and then. The current statue of the Third Hokage is quite ugly, while the statue of the Fourth Hokage, Minato, looks even stranger.

Actually, the original anime was similar. At first, the art style of Naruto was incredibly wild, but it gradually improved later on.

It seems that Konoha has been making adjustments and modifications all along.

"But I didn't expect my image would be engraved on it too?"

He put on an outer garment, turned his head to look in the direction of the Hokage Rock in the distance, and seemed somewhat dazed.

It has been more than eighteen years since I transmigrated to this world, and many years have passed since I obtained the main quest "How can a great man remain subservient to others for long?"

Now all of this is coming to an end, all of this is coming to a complete end, and Yuri herself feels somewhat incredulous.

Looking back, he was just a little orphan who was forced to graduate early because of the war and went to the battlefield to serve as cannon fodder. Now he has gradually come to where he is today.

All of this seems somewhat dreamlike, but isn't it the result of Haori's hard work?

"However, becoming the Fifth Hokage is not the end; I still have so much to do."

Yu Zhi murmured to himself, knowing that his main quest was likely still ongoing, and that it was probably a reflection of his own innermost thoughts.

Therefore, his upcoming main quests will likely be challenging, and he will need to continuously improve himself to complete them.

"My untapped talents include Shisui's genjutsu, Orochimaru's ninjutsu modifications, Obito's Six Paths Technique, and Madara Uchiha's talent for fusing Yin and Yang Release."

Yuzhi has acquired quite a few talents, but perhaps because there are so many and he hasn't yet explored them, he hasn't been able to realize many of them.

However, this is not a big deal. There are still several years before the original story, and Kaguya Otsutsuki will appear in more than ten years. In other words, the haori can be taken slowly!

"Even if things are slow, some things still need to be expedited."

Thinking of this, Yuzhi couldn't help but raise her head slightly to look at the sky.

He has had the Eye of Eternity for some time now, but the problems of light and still water have not been solved.

Perhaps they need to wait for research into the bloodlines of the Hyuga and Kaguya clans in order to better adapt to the power of the Tenseigan.

However, we must get our hands on that Tenseigan haori. Such a powerful force is constantly aimed at the ninja world, and those madmen on the moon are obsessed with destroying the ninja world.

Yu Zhi couldn't stand this. After all, he was still living in the ninja world. If he were to be messed up by these lunatics, would he have to wander in space?

"And that moon seems to have been terraformed, with green hills and clear waters; it should be suitable for growing vegetables, right?"

The thought that she used to grow vegetables in the garden in front of her house, but in the end, it was all planted with various flower beds made Yuzhi shake her head.

But then Guang walked up to him and took his hand, then asked softly.

"What are you thinking about? Are you nervous?"

"Perhaps I was a little nervous, so I couldn't help but let my mind wander."

Yuzhi didn't deny it; he nodded slightly and then smiled.

"After all, once you've actually come this far, it's inevitable to experience some emotional fluctuations."

"Don't be too nervous, it might not even be you."

Hikari leaned gently against Hagoromo, who then wrapped her arms around Hikari's waist. Hikari glanced at the Hokage Rock in the distance before smiling.

"Don't forget about me and Shisui. Maybe everyone thinks you can win, and they'll all give their votes of confidence to me and Shisui. Wouldn't you lose then?"

"Senior, that's impossible for me. Please stop teasing me."

Upon hearing this, Shisui couldn't help but speak awkwardly. What made him even more embarrassed was that the two of them were hugging each other as if no one else was around. Wasn't that going too far?

"Shisui is too young. He can get votes but he definitely can't be elected. If he waits a few years, he will have a real chance."

Yuri smiled at Shisui as a gesture of comfort, then thought for a moment before continuing to speak.

"As for you, if you win, you'll be the Hokage's man; if you lose, I'll still be the Hokage's man. It's not that different, is it?"

"You bastard..."

Yuzhi's words left Hikari somewhat speechless, as she hadn't expected Yuzhi to use such a topic as a joke.

The rosy light shone through the window and fell on the two of them, making everything look exceptionally beautiful. Shisui, standing behind them, couldn't help but smile.

"Haori! Ying! Shisui!"

But just then, a series of sounds rang out.

Looking out the window, I saw Kakashi, Guy, Rin, Asuma, Kurenai, Genma, and others. They had all come to Yuri's place, clearly looking for her and the others.

"It's time to get going."

Haori laughed and spoke to Hikari, who nodded slightly.

"Yes, it's time to set off, Fifth Hokage."

"Then let's go, Lady Hokage."

-

bang

bang

The sound of cannons booming throughout Konoha Village, and the cheers of the crowds echoing over the village were all too clear.

On a high cliff outside Konoha Village, Obito, wearing a whirlpool mask, and Itachi Uchiha, standing to the side, both understood that Konoha's Fifth Hokage had been chosen.

Obito was actually quite curious about Itachi, since it was someone Black Zetsu had personally rescued.

However, he didn't value this kid too much, because in his eyes, this kid was just Danzo's loyal dog.

Its only purpose is probably to make this brat harbor deep hatred for Uchiha Haori.

"However, this kid seems to have quite a lot of talent. He has already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at such a young age. Perhaps he can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future."

Thinking of this, Obito shook his head. Talent is something that needs to be realized to be useful. Having talent but not realizing it is meaningless to Obito.

"It seems the choice for the fifth generation has been revealed!"

Itachi Uchiha had no idea what Obito was thinking. He simply gazed quietly into the distance, as if he were lingering with nostalgia or perhaps feeling a little regretful.

Obito glanced at Itachi Uchiha beside him: "Kid, who do you think it could be?"

"I don't know either, but it doesn't matter who it is."

Itachi Uchiha shook his head. They hadn't received much information about the election of the Fifth Hokage because they had already left Konoha in a sorry state by then.

They only knew roughly that Konoha was holding an election, and nothing else.

The purpose of coming here is to find out who my future opponents are, so that it will be easier for them to deal with me.

"You're here. I've gathered the information."

Just then, Black Zetsu, with half of White Zetsu on his body, slowly emerged from underground. He pursed his lips as he looked at the two of them.

"The vote of confidence has ended, and Konoha has elected the Fifth Hokage."

"Who is it, Jiraiya or Tsunade?"

Obito asked directly, even though he didn't know the list of candidates at all, but after thinking it over, he realized that only these two were the most suitable.

Of course, he was aware of Yuzhi's reputation in Konoha, but deep down he was unwilling to accept the fact that Yuzhi could become Hokage.

Aside from the mutual contempt between two people who were both at the bottom of their class, his hatred for Yuzhi had long since reached the heavens!

Not only him, but Itachi Uchiha was the same way; neither of them wanted to acknowledge Yuki as the Hokage.

"While your idea is good, it's a pity."

Black Zetsu shook his head and simply stopped talking, while his half-body White Zetsu shrugged and spoke slowly.

"Both of those people you mentioned have withdrawn. This time, the winner is Yuu, and he is the true Fifth Hokage of Konoha!"

"What?"

Obito and Itachi were both stunned. The answer they least wanted to hear had actually come!

Before Obito could say anything, Itachi Uchiha clenched his fist and asked in a low voice.

"Why is this happening? Did he use some kind of deception to fool everyone and become Hokage?"

"I don't know the specifics, but he is indeed already the Hokage."

Black Zetsu shook his head. He was well aware of how much of a blow this news would be to the two of them, but there were some things he still needed to tell them to avoid causing any trouble later.

"The Hokage you'll be facing from now on is him, so we have to be extra careful."

Why is this happening?

Obito and Itachi were no longer in the mood to listen to Black Zetsu; their minds were only focused on the established fact that Haori had become the Fifth Hokage.

This was truly unacceptable to them. Why, why did this shameless thief/liar become the village's Hokage?

What exactly gave him the right to do this? And why?!

At this moment, both of them were burning with passion, their eyes fixed intently on the distance.

At this moment, their resolve became even stronger, especially Itachi Uchiha's mental imprint, which became unbreakable.

"I must create a peaceful world without Uchiha Haori!"

-

Yuki stood on the walkway of the rooftop platform of the Hokage Building, now dressed in a white and red shrine robe.

He listened to the cheers outside, and at that moment he became even more excited.

The vote of confidence didn't waste much of their time. Just as Yuzhi had thought, the votes might be split up, but in the end, they still fell on him.

And now he is undoubtedly the Fifth Hokage, with only one step left to become the next!

"It's time, Hokage-sama." Just then, Kakashi came to Hagoromo's side and whispered to her.

"Kakashi, it's a pity that the Hokage position was given to Minato-senpai. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer."

When Yuzhi saw that it was an acquaintance, he winked and teased him with a smile.

"Tch, I don't care."

Kakashi shrugged, then smiled and nudged Haori.

"Go now, your time has come."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Yuzhi nodded slightly, and then slowly put the Hokage hat on his head.

As he slowly walked out of the corridor, a tidal wave of cheers immediately poured towards him, filling Yuzhi's ears with a tremendous roar and enveloping his entire body in a fervent atmosphere.

Along the way, he saw the Third Hokage nodding to him, the Second Hokage looking displeased with his arms crossed but still staring at him, and Minato clapping his hands.

Shisui and Hikaru stood on another stage, but compared to Hikaru's tender gaze, Shisui was constantly cheering passionately.

Nara Shikaku, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu stood on the outermost side, gently clapping their haori.

Nodding to the crowd, Yuzhi strolled to the outermost edge of the platform. Looking down at the sea of ​​people below, his smile became even brighter.

He reached out and took off the straw hat from his head, then raised it high and shouted loudly.

"From this day forward, I am the Fifth Hokage!"

The next moment, he was greeted by a thunderous roar of cheers, and at the same time, the system in Yuzhi's mind was refreshed.

Main quest completed: A true man should not remain subservient to others for long.
