The third generation was chosen by Tobirama Senju himself before his death, and his successor was Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The situation is different with the fourth generation.

After the Third Shinobi World War, there were many people qualified to become Hokage.

Those ninja clans were clearly considering which one to support.

Once selected, the family will benefit immensely for three generations.

As long as the Fourth Hokage lives long enough.

"What about the Uchiha clan?"

"We cannot infiltrate their territory."

"Understood. Continue to observe the village's ninja clans and keep an eye on who they contact."

......

the other side.

Fugaku Uchiha, who returned from the battlefield, became the new head of the Uchiha clan due to his great strength.

The first thing he did upon taking office was to convene a meeting.

"It's time to select a Hokage again in the village. What are your opinions?"

"I support Orochimaru. He is the most outstanding disciple of the Third Hokage and has the best chance of succeeding him."

"Orochimaru? He's practically in cahoots with Danzo Shimura now. Don't forget, Danzo has always been hostile to the Uchiha."

"Which eye of yours saw that Danzo was hostile to our Uchiha? We've lived in peace all these years, haven't we?"

"Hey, you're so supportive of Orochimaru, did you get some benefits from them?"

"I'll take your mother in..."

"Please be patient, everyone. Please have some tea."

Fugaku Uchiha asked everyone to have some tea and talk slowly.

Those who know, naturally know what they are doing.

If you didn't know better, you'd think they were electing a leader for He Liansheng.

This is also the dilemma facing most of the ninja clans in Konoha today.

The first and second generations were the popular choice, while the third generation was the designated successor of the second generation.

But when it came to the fourth generation, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly spread the news, making it seem like everyone was voting to elect the Hokage.

This made the ninjas of Konoha take the Hokage succession very seriously.

If you choose the wrong side, will you have to stay away from the power center of Konoha in the future?

"To be honest, of all these successors, I most hope that Kazan will become the Fourth Hokage."

"Indeed, Lord Kazan is different from others. His magnanimity is comparable to that of the First Hokage, and he is the most friendly to us Uchiha."

"But he is too young and has no ninja clan to support him, so it will be difficult for him to become the Fourth Hokage."

"Where is the ninja clan needed? With the support of the Uchiha, isn't that enough?"

"Of course it's enough, but I'm afraid Kazan has no interest in the Hokage position!"

An elder of the Uchiha clan sighed.

Kazana's ascension to the Hokage position couldn't be better for the Uchiha clan.

His attitude towards the Uchiha was completely different from that of others, making him the most likely person to ease the tension between the Uchiha and Konoha.

Moreover, Kazan owes them a favor.

"Fugaku, what do you think?"

"Like everyone else, I hope Kazan can succeed as Hokage, but he doesn't seem to have any interest in that position."

Are you interested?

Every time Kazan unleashes his domineering aura, his willpower is always palpable.

He was someone who didn't want to be bound by rules. If you asked him to work in the Hokage Building, he would rather go to the back mountain to practice boxing.

"Go and talk to Lord Kazan!"

"He is the hope of our Uchiha clan!"

Chapter 169 The Loulan Mission and the Fourth Holy Land

"Kazan."

"You've arrived, Fugaku. I haven't congratulated you on becoming the head of the Uchiha clan yet."

The back mountain of Konoha.

When Kazan has nothing to do, he will cultivate on his own.

He has a clue about the multiplication technique, but it will take some time before he can fully master it.

The most difficult step in this technique is consuming the calories in the body and using chakra to complete the body's multiplication.

Ironically, this most difficult step was completed by Kazan with remarkable ease.

The restoration of his life allowed him to control his body at will, including calorie intake.

With training, he will be able to master the Multiplying Technique, further enhancing the destructive power of his punches.

"Thank you. I came to see you on behalf of the entire Uchiha clan."

"Is it because of the Fourth Hokage?"

"Yes."

"That location is not something your Uchiha clan can spy on for the time being, you should know that."

"I know."

Fugaku Uchiha knew perfectly well what was going on.

Given their image in Konoha, no one wanted an Uchiha to become Hokage.

Moreover, the highest levels of power in Konoha today are all disciples of the Second Hokage.

They were deeply influenced by Tobirama Senju and remained vigilant against the Uchiha clan for many years.

"This time, we hope you will run for office!"

"Let me choose?"

"Yes."

The Uchiha clan understood very well that only Kazan could improve the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha.

He is powerful enough, with a magnanimity comparable to the First Hokage, and also possesses a domineering nature that the First Hokage did not have.

If it were just the First Hokage, he really couldn't have done something like that; no one's personality would allow it.

It's not weakness, but rather that they're too easy to talk to.

Madara Uchiha, who left Konoha out of disappointment, is the best example of this.

In this respect, Kazan is more suitable to be Hokage than the First Hokage.

When the rift between the Uchiha and the village is resolved, then the Uchiha might be able to consider the position of Hokage.

"Even if I agree to let you run for the position, the chances of it being passed down for four generations are slim."

"Konoha has better options."

This is also one of the reasons why Kazan was not selected.

His combat strength and record are sufficient, but his age is his biggest obstacle.

Gaara's ability to become Kazekage at such a young age had nothing to do with the fact that no one from the Sand Village was involved.

His father had killed off everyone who could threaten his position, leaving only a handful of people.

The Sand Village had no choice but to choose Gaara.

What about Konoha now?

The three legendary Sannin and the Yellow Flash are all in their prime, excelling in combat power and intelligence. It can be said that they are a group of outstanding talents.

"We understand that too, so what the Uchiha clan really means is that they hope you will run for the Fifth Hokage!"

This was not the Uchiha's idea, but Uchiha Fugaku's idea.

From beginning to end, he was considering the Fifth Hokage, since the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Kazan was not yet strong enough.

Kazan treats everyone equally, and the Uchiha shouldn't be presumptuous; they need to maintain a closer relationship.

"Is this your request?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I'll think about it carefully. You can take this as a gift for becoming the head of the Uchiha clan."

Kazan took out a ninja sword and tossed it to Fugaku Uchiha.

That is one of the seven ninja swords of the Mist Ninja.

During the initial negotiations, the Mist Ninja hoped to get it back from Kazan, but Konoha flatly refused.

Not only did they not ask you for compensation, but you also want the seven ninja swords back? What a pipe dream!

Now these seven ninja swords are just sitting in Kazan's house getting moldy, so he simply gave them away as a gift.

"A long knife and a needle?"

"Hmm, it should be somewhat useful to you."

Thank you!

Fugaku Uchiha accepted it; it was a valuable item, perfect for his son, Itachi Uchiha.

"Kazan, you want to become Hokage?"
