I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

[Unmarried older single woman]: So I understand. You mean to find someone to mentor him and show him the benefits of being Hokage, and then get him to have that idea, right?

【Senju Tobirama】: That's right.

[Shukaku]: You ninjas are really troublesome.

[Shukaku]: There are actually people who don't want to be Hokage but try every means to become him.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Tobirama's words make sense, Kakashi, then give me some goals.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Since Hiruzen Sarutobi is no good, then let's find a suitable person to lead Kitahara.

The first emperor's statement is also very interesting, indicating that he also agreed to the third emperor's abdication.

So... the third generation really has to abdicate.

[Kidney Deficiency Naruto]: If we're talking about seniority, then the three disciples of the Third Hokage, aside from Orochimaru who has already betrayed us, are Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade.

[Big Pillar, Silly]: Ah, Tsuna! That won't do.

[Minato Namikaze]: Uh, why not?

Minato was very curious.

According to the two previous Hokage, the person to be introduced to replace the Third Hokage is merely a substitute for Kitahara Kaede.

So naturally, it's better to have a close relationship.

Since Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, isn't she the best choice?

After all, we're family.

Furthermore, Kitahara Kaede awakened Wood Release, so the term "Thousand Hands" can also be used.

That would be a double blessing for the already close relatives.

So Minato thought it was a good idea.

As for his teacher Jiraiya, Minato didn't recommend him because when he was Hokage, he had asked Jiraiya about it, but Jiraiya's answer was absolutely no.

Jiraiya received a prophecy at Mount Myōboku: to find the Child of Prophecy who can save the world. However, if this Child of Prophecy is left unchecked and allowed to grow unchecked, it may destroy the world. But if guided correctly, it can also save the world.

Therefore, Jiraiya-sensei did things on a grand scale.

So... of course it won't be limited to Konoha.

As a disciple, Minato still respected Jiraiya's aspirations.

Therefore, the person he chose was Tsunade.

[Tobirama Senju]: Tsuna, that won't work either.

[Dazhuzi Hanhan]: Yeah, Tsuna isn't good enough.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Tsuna definitely has talent, and he also inherited my Will of Fire.

[Big Pillar Silly]: But if Konoha is handed over to Tsuna, it will eventually be gambled away by her and the Kage of other ninja villages.

"..."

That makes a lot of sense.

Because those who were still alive at the scene knew more or less about the Little Sheep Hot Pot on Tanbata Street.

[Kidney Deficiency Fire Shadow]: Then it's Jiraiya-sama.

[Minato Namikaze]: Jiraiya-sensei would not agree.

[Kidney Deficiency Fire Shadow]: So it's Danzo, who is not the Third Hokage, but Koharu Utatane and Mitokado?

[Tobirama Senju]: I am very disappointed in my disciples, so none of them are good enough.

[Kidney Deficiency Naruto]: Then I recommend Kai...

[MattKai]: Me? No, no.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Kakashi, it seems you forgot one person's name.

[Kidney Deficiency Fire Shadow]: Huh?

[Big Pillar Silly]: It seems you've forgotten your own name.

[Tobirama Senju]: I agree with my older brother; you are a good fit.

[Tobirama Senju]: It just so happens that you are very familiar with Kitahara Kaede, and since you are the Hokage, it is reasonable for Kitahara Kaede to be designated as the next Hokage.

this is correct.

Because most of the shadows are passed down to either one's son or one's disciple.

Therefore, Tobirama's statement is correct.

but.

[Kidney Deficiency Fire Shadow]: No, no, Second Hokage, First Hokage, I can't do it.

[Kidney Deficiency Fire Shadow]: I cannot become the Fifth Hokage.

[Tobirama Senju]: Kakashi, who said you were the Fifth Hokage?

Tobirama seemed to smile slightly.

[Tobirama Senju]: Kitahara Kaede is the designated Fifth Hokage, while you, Hatake Kakashi, are the Sixth Hokage who will assist him.

! ! ! !

Kakashi's eyes widened instantly.

Matt Kai, who wasn't very good at these kinds of discussions, stared in astonishment.

Might Guy was surprised because, as a Konoha ninja, he naturally wanted to become Hokage, but it wasn't that 007 was jealous of Kakashi, but rather... if Kakashi became Hokage, then he wouldn't be able to casually challenge him to battles anymore, right?

Kakashi's eyes widened as well.

because.

[Welcome to the group for the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake]

Kakashi was the first person to join the group observing Kitahara Kaede. At that time, he was invited to join the group with the title of "[Sixth Hokage]".

Now, he has been chosen to become the sixth generation of Kitahara Kaede, his disciple.

This has gone from surprise to reality.

So... what exactly is the purpose of this small group?

Is this a way of giving him his future title in advance?

As one of the wisest people, Kakashi began to think for a moment.

Because he discovered that this small group was more mysterious than he had imagined.

·····

Time is passing.

Two days passed quickly.

The second Chunin Exams concluded in these two days. The third Chunin Exams will be held a week later.

This is somewhat unfair to the other ninja villages, because the appearance of Shukaku and Orochimaru's turmoil led many ninja village candidates to choose to abstain.

But they can't really compare.

Because a tailed beast suddenly appeared in the village, no village could ignore it.

Especially... the explosion of Okita when the Tailed Beast Ball exploded.

It's absolutely terrifying.

Everyone directly and intuitively realized just how terrifying the Tailed Beasts were.

the other side.

Day three.

All the villagers of Konoha, including the ninjas, were summoned to the Hokage Rock.

This is where the whole village gathers. The Hokage's inauguration usually takes place here, and important announcements are also made here.

Now is the time to announce something important.

The day.

The Third Hokage, Danzo Shimura, along with two advisors, Koharu and Homura Mitokado, arrived at the foot of the Hokage Rock.

"..." The third generation's face was very pale.

He took off the hat that was the Hokage's personal hat, which was embroidered with the character "[fire]".

He gazed down at the villagers below.

"..." His lips moved.

“Speak, Sarutobi,” Danzo said.

"..." Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"So……"

"I have three things to announce to everyone here today."

"First of all, I need to apologize for what happened to the White Fang of Konoha in the past."

"Ninjas need rules, but they also need to give others room to be tolerant."

"White Fang failed in his mission and brought negative consequences to the village, but we cannot forget what he did for the village."

"I hereby express my final command to embed his grave in the Heroes Memorial Cemetery."

! ! ! !

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

The villagers looked at the three generations in astonishment.

Because the Third Hokage said... "I am giving the final order of the Hokage," does that mean... the Hokage is going to be replaced?

The Third Hokage's faction ninjas' vision suddenly darkened.

They remembered the order from Tobirama-sama, whom they had encountered a few days earlier, to have the Third Hokage resign.

And now... the third generation is following his teacher's orders.

then.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to my announcement."

"I am too old to take on the position of Hokage."

"so……"

He gently patted Kakashi's body behind him.

Kakashi walked forward slowly.

This was his first time here, and he was being watched by so many people.

"Kakashi Hatake is the pride of our ninja village."

"As Minato's disciple and White Fang's son, he is trustworthy."

"I entrust the position of Hokage to him."

As he said this, the third generation handed him the hat.

"Kakashi will assume the position of Hokage."

Kakashi took the hat.

Below, Matt Kee clapped for him.

"Is Kakashi-sensei really that good?" Naruto and Sasuke were quite surprised that their teacher had suddenly become the Hokage.

“Right?” Kitahara Kaede said.

From the moment he saw Tobirama, Kitahara Kaede felt that this scene would happen.

but.
