Naruto: I upgraded my bloodline limit using chakra.

When Yamato saw the ruins along the way, his emotions became very somber. Genye noticed his unusual state and said, "Brother Tenzo, the main thing now is to help the villagers rebuild. Don't put too much pressure on yourself!"

"Alright!" Yamato nodded, sighing helplessly.

Just then.

A voice filled with surprise suddenly rang in their ears.

"Xuan Ye, I've finally found you!" Ye Cang appeared behind Xuan Ye without her noticing, her face filled with immense joy.

After being allowed to leave the shelter, Yekura saw Konoha reduced to ruins.

She pinched her cheek, as if everything in front of her was an illusion.

But that is the truth.

After making inquiries.

Yekura then learned that a war had broken out between Konoha and Uchiha Baku.

And it was the Uchiha who ultimately won.

However, Ye Cang was also worried about Xuan Ye, so she came to find him immediately. She didn't expect to meet him here. She blushed slightly. It's good that Xuan Ye is alright!

Xuan Ye greeted him with a smile.

Today, Yekura is still wearing that backless dress, looking incredibly sexy and charming!

She explained, "When I received information about the exercise, I went to the shelter because I needed to take care of the students, but I wasn't able to help much."

Done.

Yecang lowered his head.

He seemed very guilty.

Gen Ye shook his head and smiled slightly, saying, "You are from Sunagakure, your identity is too sensitive, it's best not to make a move!"

Yamato, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered.

How did Genba get to know Pakura, the Scorching Release ninja from Sunagakure?

Moreover, it seems that Genba has taken the initiative.

This guy seems to have quite the luck with women.

Thinking about this...

Yamato suddenly felt a pang of jealousy...

soon.

With Yamato and Yokura.

The three arrived at a cleared area. Xuan Ye said calmly, "Brother Tianzang, it's time for your performance!"

"Okay!" Yamato nodded and quickly formed hand seals!

"Wood Release: Linked Pillars!"

Rows of detached houses came into view.

"I can't do it anymore!" Using this Wood Release technique consumes a lot of chakra and stamina, and Yamato couldn't hold on any longer, collapsing to the ground.

Genye glanced at Yamato with the look one would give a "little trash," slapped the ground, and shouted, "Wood Release: Linked Pillars!"

Rows of exquisite detached villas came into view.

In comparison, Yamato's house is like a small bungalow, while Genba's is like a "large villa," and the difference is immediately apparent.

Moreover, Genye did not feel exhausted at all.

After using "Wood Release: Linked Pillars" seven or eight times in a row, he began to feel slightly strained.

However, nearly a hundred houses had already appeared in front of them.

Yamato's Wood Release is nowhere near comparable to Genba's!

...

Uchiha Grand Conference Room.

At this moment, Fugaku is presiding over the meeting.

Because of the impact of the war.

The Hokage's office has been reduced to ruins.

Therefore, the meeting was held within the Uchiha clan's territory.

All of Konoha's high-ranking officials were present!

Clan members such as the Hyuga, Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, Shino, and Inuzuka hid in Konoha's sanctuary when the war broke out, remaining neutral and not intervening.

The war is now over.

They came out of the shelter and attended a meeting.

Even the defeated Sarutobi clans sent representatives to the meeting.

Fugaku glanced at the many clan leaders present at the meeting and said:

"I have invited the clan leaders to the Uchiha amidst your busy schedules because there are important matters to discuss. As you all know, a few days ago, the Uchiha and the Third Hokage's faction went to war. The Third Hokage has been killed. Konoha cannot be without a Hokage for even a day. Therefore, we have convened this meeting today to elect the Fifth Hokage!"

No one was surprised by Fugaku's purpose, but Shikaku asked:

"Clan Chief Fugaku, who do you recommend?"

Although the war between the Uchiha and the Third Hokage's faction depleted their strength, it also allowed everyone to witness the power of the Uchiha, especially Genba, who was terrifyingly powerful!

The Uchiha clan currently has the largest fist.

They will definitely elect their own person as Hokage.

As long as you don't make excessive demands.

No one would object.

Unless it involves fundamental interests.

Moreover, Konoha under the previous three Hokage often failed to be fair and just in dealing with the various clans and their own factions. They were also hoping that if someone from the Uchiha clan became Hokage, Konoha would change and be completely renewed!

Just when everyone thought Fugaku was about to recommend himself, he uttered a name that shocked everyone:

"I think Uchiha Genba is good enough to be the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!"

"Uchiha Genba?" Upon hearing this name, the expressions of many clan leaders present changed drastically.

First of all, he couldn't believe that Fugaku would give up the Hokage position so easily.

At the same time, it was also surprising that Fugaku nominated Genba.

It is true that Genba possesses powerful abilities such as Wood Release and Mangekyou Sharingan, but he is only ten years old after all, so it would probably be inappropriate for him to serve as Hokage.

Fugaku observed the crowd's reactions and, finding them normal, remarked:

"I have a reason for recommending Uchiha Genba. First of all, he has made many contributions to Konoha."

"First: In the last war with Kumogakure, he gathered a lot of intelligence for the eastern front and fought alongside Uchiha Shisui against Killer Bee, making a great contribution. Second: When Orochimaru kidnapped the Nine-Tails to help him, it was Uchiha Genba and Jiraiya who rescued him. Third: Genba once captured the rogue ninja Orochimaru and brought him back to Konoha!"

Fugaku glanced at everyone and said, "Although Uchiha Genba is young, he has the mindset of a Hokage. Everyone has witnessed his strength in this war. I think Konoha should use talents without being bound by convention."

The group looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Fugaku said, "Konoha is currently facing a major war, and its strength has reached its weakest point. Other villages are also making moves, so we must determine the Fifth Hokage as soon as possible!"

Shikaku frowned and suddenly said, "Even if we recommend Genba as the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, we might not be able to get past the Daimyo!"

Chapter 157 Five Years Later

Although the appointment of the Hokage was merely a formality with the Daimyo's consent.

But what if the great name knew that Xuan Ye was so young?

They might reject Konoha's proposal outright.

That would be very awkward.

Obviously.

At present.

Shikaku doesn't seem to agree with Genba becoming Hokage.

"There are no problems with the daimyo, so you don't need to worry about that!" Fugaku smiled slightly, seemingly very confident.

Only then did everyone realize the truth.

It turns out that the Uchiha clan and the Daimyo's mansion have already formed a connection!

Hiashi Hyuga suddenly interjected:

"Although Uchiha Genba is young, firstly, his strength has already reached the Kage level. Secondly, he is resourceful and brave. Perhaps we can let him temporarily take over as the Fifth Hokage. If we find that he is not suitable later, we can make further plans."

Japan proposed a compromise.

Also.

That's also something you can see.

The Hyuga clan has begun to side with the Uchiha!

The clan leaders present were also surprised that the Hyuga clan, known for its strict rules and etiquette, would be the first to agree to Fugaku's suggestion. This was unexpected and shocking to everyone!

After all, the Hokage is the highest leader of the village.

The decisions made involved many aspects.

Let Gen-ye take on the role.

This was a very difficult decision for them.

"I also agree that Uchiha Genba should be the Fifth Hokage!" Akimichi Choza also stood up to speak for Genba.

Previously, Xuan Ye unconditionally taught the various families a "weakened version of immortal techniques." It is undeniable that he may have had his own purposes, but his ability to so easily give away such a secret technique also demonstrates his magnanimity.

Some people have taken sides.

Then everyone spoke up for Xuan Ye.

Fugaku looked at Shikaku and said, "Genba is young, so your concerns are valid. You can serve as an advisor to the Fifth Hokage and offer suggestions for the village's development to ensure that the village becomes stronger and stronger."

"This..." Upon hearing Fugaku's words, Shikaku finally nodded.

After all, the position of Hokage advisor carries considerable power and plays a vital role in the development of the Nara clan.

Many times, negotiations fail to reach an agreement.

It's just that the distribution of benefits wasn't fair enough.

The deal is now settled.

Everything went very smoothly.

...

After the high-level meeting concluded, Fugaku immediately approached Genyo and informed everyone of the decision.

"What? You want me to be the Fifth Hokage?" Gen Ye was utterly shocked when he heard the news.

They actually appointed him as the Fifth Hokage?

That can't be!

Although Fugaku had mentioned it before, Genba thought he was just joking and didn't take it seriously!

Even Shisui, Itachi, and Sasuke standing nearby were completely stunned!

"Uncle Fugaku, you're not kidding me, are you?" Genba stared at Fugaku and asked seriously.

Although the Hokage enjoys great power, he also bears great responsibility; they are complementary.

But Fugaku nodded seriously, very affirmatively, and continued:

"It was mainly my initiative that made you Hokage. The emergence of a Hokage is of paramount importance to the Uchiha clan!"

Xuan Ye stroked his chin and asked, "Why don't you take on the role yourself?"
