Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

Like Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Jōru went down an extreme path.

Since we can't realize our ideals in reality, why not let ourselves dream big?

Find peace in a false world.

In just one day, he took the initiative to find Uchiha Madara.

"I'll join your plan."

"Alright, from today onwards, you shall walk the world under my name, Uchiha Madara."

"However, you are still too weak. In the time I have left, I will make you a strong enough ninja."

Madara Uchiha was very calm, and his calm tone was frightening.

It's as if they've truly seen through the truth of the world.

For the rest of the time, he taught Uchiha Jō without reservation.

Even the Nine-Tails' summoning contract was given to Uchiha Jō.

"What you do from now on is your freedom, even if it's to take revenge on the Mist Ninja and Konoha, it's fine."

"But let's not forget, our goal is to liberate this world..."

After saying that, Madara Uchiha's life force completely ceased, awaiting the day he would be resurrected through the Rinne Rebirth.

"What are you going to do next?"

Madara Uchiha is dead, and the Black and White Zetsu are led by Jō Uchiha.

"I have a score to settle with the Mist Ninja!"

Uchiha Jō's eyes were frighteningly cold.

"Also, go find someone for me. There are relevant records in the history of the Sarutobi and Senju clans. Go and bring them back to me."

He will absolutely not let the ninja who killed Misae get away with it.

But he also understood that as long as Kazan, the god of Konoha, was around, their plan would be extremely difficult to achieve, and it would be almost impossible to collect all nine tailed beasts.

They need power, the power to defeat Kazan.

Coincidentally, Uchiha Jō loved reading since he was a child, and he had read his family history countless times.

He knew there was someone who might be able to help him.

But it will take time to find it.

........

the other side.

The negotiations between Konoha and Kirigakure have ended.

Although the Mist Ninja hated Kazan for killing their Kage, for them, this was the best possible outcome.

They had just lost their leader, and the village was leaderless and unsuitable for fighting.

And so, the Mist Ninja withdrew from the Land of Waves.

Elsewhere, the war is still not over.

But none of these things concern Konoha; their war is over.

The day.

Jiraiya and Danzo led their troops back to the Land of Earth.

They're going home!

Chapter 168 Konoha is about to choose a leader.

More than a month later, Kazan returned to Konoha.

Behind him were agitated ninjas.

They finally made it home alive.

At the entrance of the village, many family members who had learned that they were returning today came to greet them.

For a time, scenes of people embracing each other could be seen everywhere at the gates of Konoha.

Hong's mother also arrived and hugged her husband and daughter tightly without saying a word.

Some people also looked sad.

They didn't get to see the person they wanted to see; all they found were corpses and belongings.

Joy and sorrow merged at this moment, forming a unique picture.

"Let's go, the three generations of old men are still waiting for us."

Jiraiya put his arm around Kazan's shoulder, and the two walked into Konoha together.

.......

That's how it happened.

"You've done a great job. It's the best way to end the war."

Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a long breath.

The war is finally over.

Unlike World War I and World War II, Kazan's rise to power made Konoha invincible on the battlefield.

If you look closely, almost every war ended with Kazan involved.

Chiyo, the Third Raikage, Hanzo the Salamander, and the Third Mizukage.

These renowned and powerful figures all died at his hands.

In addition, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and the Third Tsuchikage Onoki were also defeated by him, thus establishing his invincible reputation.

When people talk about Konoha these days, they don't refer to him, the Third Hokage, nor to the Sannin and the Yellow Flash.

It's the Leaf Village Demon God!

Now that the war is over, Hiruzen Sarutobi has begun to consider retiring.

"I plan to select the next Hokage once the situation has stabilized."

The implication is that he is retiring.

"What are your opinions?"

"I propose that Minato succeed as the Fourth Hokage; he is the best candidate."

Jiraiya did not shy away from suspicion and wholeheartedly recommended his apprentice.

Those who know him understand that Jiraiya has no desire for power.

And you, Kazan?

"Let's choose Minato. Of course, Tsunade is also qualified."

As they had predicted, they all favored Minato Namikaze succeeding him.

As for Tsunade, Hiruzen Sarutobi hoped that this generation of Hokage would not have any ninja clans behind him.

"I understand. I will gather everyone later, and you all need to be there."

Kazan nodded to Jiraiya, chatted for a while, and then left separately.

"Spread the word that I'm going to choose the Fourth Hokage."

This will be Hiruzen Sarutobi's last work as the Third Hokage.

The news quickly spread throughout Konoha.

"Is the Third Hokage going to abdicate?"

"is this real?"

"It should be true. Many people are discussing who will become the fourth Hokage of the village."

"It must be Lord Orochimaru, right? He's the Third Hokage's apprentice."

"I don't think so. Lord Jiraiya has made countless contributions on the battlefield and is also approachable. I hope that Lord Jiraiya can inherit the position of Hokage."

"Lady Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First and Second Hokage. I think she would be a better candidate for Hokage."

"What about Lord Minato Namikaze? If he were to succeed the Third Hokage, the village would surely be more stable, wouldn't it?"

"If we're talking about stability, I think Lord Kazan is better."

"Indeed, Lord Kazan has a brilliant record in the three wars, and his strength is approaching that of the First Hokage. It would be perfect for him to succeed as the Fourth Hokage!"

"But Lord Kazan is too young!"

The villagers were talking about it.

The main candidates were Hiruzen Sarutobi's four disciples and Minato Namikaze.

They have both strength and military achievements, making them the best candidates to succeed them.

It's worth mentioning that although Kazan is very young, he has quite a few supporters.

His record is so brilliant that many people say he is the second best of the original.

His combat strength is already the strongest in the ninja world!

Many people believe that the position of Hokage should be inherited by the strongest person.

The first generation, the second generation, the third generation—it has always been the same.

"What was the reaction of those ninja clans?"

"There has been no action yet, but we have been holding secret meetings recently."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's surveillance network covers the entire Hidden Leaf Village; nothing escapes his notice.

This time, the successor to the Hokage is different from the past.

After the First Hokage's death, no one was more qualified to become Hokage than the Second Hokage, so Tobirama Senju became the Second Hokage without hesitation.
