The chidori exploded, and Gaara let out a painful cry.
The scene took a turn for the worse, and the sudden change made Naruto's mind go blank, as if everything around him had turned into slow motion.
He slowly turned his head and saw that Sasuke was already standing next to Gaara.
Looking down, Gaara's right arm had been cut off directly by Sasuke.
The severed limbs were bloody and bloody.
"Your share, save your life. My share, my specialty."
Sasuke said coldly.
"Now, you can take him to the Hokage-sama."
Sasuke looked up at the sky, and the tragic deaths of the villagers flashed through his mind.
He took a deep breath, and without looking at Naruto again, he walked towards Sakura without looking back, picked her up, and ran towards Neji.
Chapter 61 Neji, is it a little early to engage in Longzhong?
Gaara still couldn't see the Third Hokage after all.
Naruto did take him back.
But three generations are gone.
On the day of the funeral, it was drizzling. No one held an umbrella. Everyone wore black and laid a white chrysanthemum in front of the tombs of three generations in turn.
Death was not uncommon, and for Sasuke, it was normal.
Despite this, Sasuke still felt something special about the third generation's departure.
When he was born, the third generation was like that.
As a part of the village and one of the backgrounds of the environment in which he lives, every time there is any major event in the village, the three generations will always appear.
Then, say a bunch of boring, boring, lengthy, correct nonsense.
Over time, everyone has become accustomed to such an existence.
He even couldn't help but have an illusion.
It seems that the old man will sit in that position forever, and the life in the village will continue unchanged.
However, when death comes, everything is so fierce.
Just like what happened six years ago.
Peace, slow and long like a warm dream;
In troubled times, the short and fierce mark is eternal;
The two move forward alternately.
[System maintenance is in progress, recovery time is counting down:
14 hours, 26 minutes and 51 seconds.]
On the roof, Sasuke opened and checked the system again.
Finally, I can meet my dear netizens tonight.
Sasuke took a deep breath, lay down again, and looked at the clouds in the sky.
Since the death of the third generation, everyone in the village has become extremely busy.
It was only under the pretext of recuperating that I was able to take some time off and have some quiet time.
First came the preparations for the funerals of the three generations, and the burial of the remaining deceased.
Next came the statistics of ninjas who died in battle, the payment of post-war pensions, the restoration and repair of houses, the maintenance of infrastructure such as water conservancy and electricity, and the resettlement of post-war orphans.
The top management is even more busy, such as the handling of prisoners of war, the drafting of post-war agreements, the establishment and awards of combat heroes, and most importantly, the issue of successors.
It is said that after the Konoha Collapse Plan, the number of ninjas in Konoha Village was reduced by more than half. The civilians were relatively better off, but there were still many casualties.
There are many things to do and few people.
Everyone is so busy that they have no time to chew on the sadness of loss.
"What are you doing hiding here?"
A boy in white climbed up to the roof, came to sit next to Sasuke.
"Neji? Are you healed?"
Sasuke turned his head and took a look, but did not get up and continued to lie there.
Suddenly he remembered that the last time he saw Neji at Ganligan's door, he wanted to ask him if he was healed.
However, I was beaten that time and I really couldn’t ask.
"What are you laughing at?"
Neji turned to ask him.
"fine."
The two young men were silent, gazing at the sky in the distance.
"Sandai is dead. What do you think?"
Neji was the first to break the silence.
"I don't know." Sasuke thought for a while and replied honestly, "This kind of thing is probably the same for everyone. It's too far away from us genin."
"But if you want to become Hokage, you have to think about it."
"It's too early." Sasuke said in surprise.
At such a young age, I am forced to make a systematic life plan and put it into practice.
Sasuke was really unprepared.
Moreover, his first priority was not in this direction.
"No, the earlier the period, the more important the variables are." Neji answered seriously, "My father, Hyuga Hiashi, was born just a few minutes later than Hyuga Hiashi. The final result was his death and my current situation."
Ningji took a deep breath, calmed down again, and continued, "Seemingly subtle differences will accumulate into huge potential energy over time.
"For us, right now, is that moment."
Sasuke sat up and sat side by side with Neji, and responded: "It seems that you are not here to chat."
Neji said: "Ever since he learned that I also participated in subduing Gaara, the one-tailed Jinchuuriki, the clan leader Hinata Hinatsu has been particularly interested in me.
"I took this opportunity to apply to him for permission to enter the Konoha Ancient Documents Office. In addition, I can also freely enter and exit the Hyuga clan's own library."
"These days, I have carefully studied the background and succession situation of previous Hokage, and found that there are several conditions that must be met if you want to become Hokage."
"First of all, your own strength. There is no doubt that in our village, the title of Kage means the strongest. This is also the biggest reason why I chose you."
Sasuke was noncommittal.
"However, strength is only a prerequisite. In other words, if you don't have enough strength, you will definitely not be able to become Hokage, but if you have enough strength, you may not be able to become Hokage."
Sasuke was stunned and wanted to continue listening.
After seeing Sasuke's reaction, Neji continued, "For example, the Third Hokage. I learned in the past few days that among his comrades of the same period, there are still a few who are as strong as him. However, he was able to ascend to the position of Hokage in the end because he met the second condition."
"That is, get the approval of the previous Hokage and give orders!"
Sasuke pondered for a moment and asked: "So, the death of the third Hokage was too unexpected and hasty, and he did not appoint the next Hokage, then..."
"Then I have to mention the experiences and rules I have summarized these days."
Neji said seriously.
Sasuke secretly thought it was funny, but he said, "You tell me."
"The Second Hokage is the younger brother of the First Hokage. The Third Hokage is the student of the Second Hokage and a member of the elite team. The Fourth Hokage is the student of the Third Hokage's student. What did you find?"
"Master?"
Sasuke thought for a moment and replied.
"That's right." Neji nodded and continued, "Fundamentally speaking, the succession of the Hokage position is almost a one-line inheritance. For ordinary people who are not on that line, it is probably difficult for them to have a chance."
"But you are different! Your teacher Kakashi is the student of the Fourth Hokage!"
Neji was a little excited and couldn't help but lower his voice.
"Is that all?"
Sasuke always felt like something was wrong.
Neji calmed down a little and continued: "As expected of Uchiha Sasuke. So we discovered the problem. Indeed, after just studying this rule, I think Hatake Kakashi is very likely to be the Fifth Hokage.
"But once we analyze it based on the actual situation, we find that this is not the case at all."
"The Fourth Hokage's tenure was too short, and he died early at such a young age. His influence is far from comparable to that of the Third Hokage.
"If the fourth generation had not died more than ten years ago, but had continued to hold the position of Hokage, then the position of the fifth generation Hokage must belong to Kakashi. From now on, our affairs will have a much clearer path."
"Unfortunately, the current situation is too complicated."
Sasuke replied: "I roughly understand what you mean. To put it simply, if you want to become Hokage, your strength must be first, and your qualifications second.
"But what does this have to do with the current situation?"
Neji nodded and replied, "After understanding the above two factors, we can analyze in detail who has the potential to be elected as the Fifth Hokage at the moment. And who will be the most beneficial to us after being elected."
"After many inquiries and information review over the past few days, and after fully considering the above two conditions, I believe that there are a total of six candidates who are qualified to become the Fifth Hokage this time!"
Chapter 62 Five and a half candidates
"This election is very special."
"Those with sufficient qualifications are not strong enough. Those with weak abilities are not qualified enough. Those with sufficient strength and qualifications are not in the village."
