Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it

Chapter 328 Selection

The main gate was closed, and apart from the ANBU guards, all the unrelated ninjas quickly left, and the entire Hokage Building fell silent.

As everyone waited, Mitokado Homura was the first to speak.

"The temporary shelter has been completed, and the injured, orphans, and elderly have been properly settled."

"The main roads have been basically restored, and the damaged houses will be rebuilt in stages within a month."

"According to intelligence, there are no obvious abnormalities at the border. The level of vigilance has been raised, and the village will be notified immediately if there is any situation."

As he spoke, he looked around at everyone present and said, "You've all worked hard during this time."

No one spoke, because everyone knew this was just the opening remarks and the main points of today's meeting had not yet been addressed.

Mitokado continued, "The situation in the village has stabilized now. The reason I called everyone here so late is because there is an important matter that cannot be delayed."

"Hokage candidate".

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes turned serious. Danzo straightened his already upright posture even more. He glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi not far away, and when he saw the latter calmly lighting his pipe, he snorted coldly in his heart.

Mitokado Homura said, "Everyone here is a high-ranking member of the village. Please suggest your choice for the Fifth Hokage."

Koharu, who was turning the dorm, said, "The nominees are not fixed; the final result will be decided by vote."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes met.

But no one spoke up first.

After waiting for a moment, Koharu Utatane could only take the initiative to speak: "Chief Hiashi, please share your thoughts first."

The Hyuga are a prominent clan in Konoha, so their opinions are quite important in this situation.

When his name was called, Hiashi Hyuga pondered for a few seconds before looking at Danzo Shimura.

It wasn't for any other reason, but the other person's posture had straightened up a bit, like a javelin stuck in a stool, which was just too conspicuous.

A few seconds later, under Danzo's seemingly calm but actually tense gaze, he said, "I propose Jiraiya."

Danzo's eye twitched.

Following Hyuga Hiashi's suggestion, many Jonin in the arena nodded in agreement.

Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, made many contributions in both the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars.

The other party is a disciple of the Third Hokage, has no descendants, and apart from being a bit dissolute in his personal life, his character is reassuring.

This time, Koharu didn't need to call roll in the dorm; a Jonin had already spoken up in agreement.

"I agree, it is very suitable for Jiraiya to become the Fifth Hokage."

“That’s right. In terms of both strength and seniority, Jiraiya-sama is the most suitable.”

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado looked around, and more than half of the ninjas in the room either spoke or nodded.

Clearly, Jiraiya was the one everyone wanted.

At this moment, a Jonin suddenly spoke up: "But Jiraiya-sama was the Fourth Hokage's teacher. Isn't it inappropriate for a teacher to succeed his student after his death?"

As he spoke, some people in the room began to ponder.

When a disciple dies and his teacher succeeds him, it does seem a bit awkward and could give other villages the impression that Konoha is experiencing a talent shortage.

In addition, there is another reason: the other party's personal reputation seems to be a bit mediocre, and many people know about the "Make-Out Paradise" incident, which has a bad influence.

Someone asked, "If we were to choose a younger generation of ninjas, who would be suitable?"

Yes, who would be suitable?

If we're talking about ninjas younger than Minato Namikaze, or of the same generation, are there any who can reach his level? Are there any whose strength is at the Kage level?

It seems there really is.

Several people turned their gazes toward Shen Yuexingyun, who was sitting in the meeting room, seemingly lost in thought.

In terms of strength and influence, Shingetsu Seiun, as the most renowned genius ninja of the younger generation in Konoha, certainly meets these hard criteria.

Even after Uchiha Shisui died and he survived from Onoki's attacks, it can be said that among his peers, there was no ninja stronger than him.

Hyuga, Sarutobi, the Ino-Shika-Cho clan... none of them could surpass his peers, and they couldn't even catch up with him.

In terms of merit... the opposing side also contributed significantly in the Third Shinobi World War.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and in the end, no Jonin took the initiative to make a suggestion.

There are many reasons.

This includes Shingetsu Seiun taking in a former Sunagakure bloodline ninja, Scorching Release user, Pakura, after the Third Shinobi World War.

Even now, with the situation regarding the Nine-Tails' chaos unclear, the other party seems to frequently visit the Uchiha clan.

These are all rather sensitive points.

Of course, the most important reason is... this guy's style doesn't seem to fit the image of the Village's Shadow.

If the other person really becomes Hokage, what will happen when they meet people from other villages and talk about it?

After all, besides strength, the appearance of a village's leader also needs to be considered.

Onoki, the only person in the ninja world to possess the Kekkei Tota, possesses unparalleled offensive power.

Kazekage, a bloodline limit holder, and the number one gold miner in the ninja world.

The Third Raikage possessed the strongest physical body in the ninja world.

The Fourth Raikage, the fastest ninja in the world.

Shuiying... might be a bit of a stretch, the name isn't that well-known.

However, the Hokage of Konoha throughout the ages have all had good reputations.

The first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, goes without saying. The second Hokage, a master of forbidden techniques, developed numerous powerful forbidden techniques to target the Uchiha clan and protect the village.

The Third Hokage, Professor of Ninjutsu (Doctor).

The Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash.

However, if Shingetsu Seiun becomes the Fifth Hokage, his title might not be a neutral one like 'Konoha Demon Star'.

When others bring it up: "Yes, your Fifth Hokage, the one who had over a hundred girlfriends."

It scares me to think about it.

And with the other person so actively involved in their love life, can they really be a good Hokage?

This is different from Jiraiya.

Jiraiya may enjoy creating content, but if he became Hokage, he could simply stop writing.

But what about Shenyue Xingyun? I heard he's very busy every day. Does he expect her to end her emotional life?

That must have broken so many people's hearts.

silence.

The silence wasn't anyone's fault; they were simply considering better options.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Koharu Tsurugi spoke up: "Since we can't choose from the younger generation, let's not worry about age."

Someone suggested, "How about Lady Tsunade?"

Danzo gritted his teeth inwardly.

"If it's Lady Tsunade, I have no objection," a Jonin stated.

As the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, she has impeccable lineage and impeccable character. Like Jiraiya, she is one of the Legendary Sannin, has no descendants, and has made outstanding contributions.

More and more Jonin are expressing their approval.

At this moment, Mitokado Homura coughed lightly, interrupting everyone's speech.

"Both Jiraiya and Tsunade are indeed suitable candidates for Hokage, but there is a problem... they are not in the village."

"At such a critical juncture, are we really going to send people all over the world to search for them?"

Xiaochun, who was turning over the door, nodded: "That makes sense."

"Given the current situation, the selection of the Hokage cannot be delayed."

"Do any of you have any other ideas?"

Danzo almost held his breath.

Chapter 329 Danzo and Sarutobi's Fear

However, no one responded to his expectations, and the meeting room fell into silence.

Xiaochun, who switched dorm rooms: "Is no one going to suggest anything else?"

The Jonin fell silent.

Tsurugi Koharu: "The village respects everyone's opinion. Doesn't anyone have a more suitable candidate?"

Silence remained.

As the silence turned awkward, Danzo, who was standing ramrod straight, thought the time had come.

It's time for him to make his appearance!

He took a deep breath, placed his hands on the table, and gently lifted his buttocks off the chair by using his leg muscles.

"Alright!" A familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears.

It's Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Danzo Shimura's buttocks had just lifted five centimeters off the chair when he heard the other person's movement and he froze on the spot.

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe, stood up, and looked around at everyone.

"Since there is no suitable candidate, I, the old man, will temporarily serve as Hokage for a while."

Danzo's hands, which were braced on the table, suddenly bulged with veins.

His eye twitched violently, and his gaze instantly turned cold.

A surge of intense anger welled up inside me.
