In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

"What's wrong? Illusion is your specialty, so you didn't fall under an illusion yourself, did you?"

Xia Mu laughed and teased.

But she found that her once rosy cheeks were now flushed.

"Never mind, you can wash it yourself from now on."

The older sister deliberately stood up calmly and ran out.

I don't know if they really don't understand or are just pretending.

During that time, he didn't even notice when the outer layer of his towel fell off.

A vast expanse of white almost blinded Xia Mu.

……

Three days later, a large memorial service was held throughout Konoha.

This is to commemorate the Third Hokage who died in battle, and the heroic spirits of Konoha who perished in this war.

The memorial service ended.

A high-level meeting of the highest caliber was held in the Hokage Building.

Two Konoha advisors, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, and Konoha's Nabekage Danzo, Jiraiya.

Without Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo once again argued his case, insisting on becoming Hokage.

But just like in the original story, he was directly rejected by both advisors. They both wanted Jiraiya, who was currently the strongest and also a disciple of the Third Hokage, to take the position.

However, Jiraiya refused, saying that he was not suitable and that he had a more important mission.

The final result of the discussion was that Jiraiya would go out to find Tsunade so that she could become the Fifth Hokage.

In this way, it seemed that everything was back on track.

But when Jiraiya took Naruto out of the village...

Unwilling to accept defeat, Danzo approached two advisors and offered his second choice for Hokage: Natsuki Yuhi.

After all, if Tsunade returns, with her influence, Danzo will have no chance to seize the Hokage throne again.

However, if a greenhorn were to become Hokage, he would be much easier to control.

Moreover, Xia Mu is now known as the little hero of Konoha and the guardian deity of Konoha.

In terms of reputation, no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village can rival him.

His portrait and biography are even displayed alongside those of the past Hokage and Konoha elites in the corridors of the Konoha Ninja Academy. (Chapter 88 above.)

Now, all that's lacking is seniority.

“A young Hokage, no matter how high his reputation, lacks the necessary qualifications. This forces him to seek our help, and we can still firmly control the power center of Konoha.”

"Moreover, if we make him Hokage, we can use the greater good to get him to contribute all his powerful abilities. At that time, we can definitely take Konoha to a higher level."

"If Tsunade becomes Hokage, I dare say that within a few years, you will be completely eliminated. At that time, will your dull-witted successors still be able to maintain their existing businesses?"

Danzo's words completely won over the two Hokage advisors.

Why didn't you bring this up in the previous meetings?

Mitokado asked, puzzled.

"Back then, you guys absolutely refused to let me become Hokage. No matter what I said, your first reaction was to refuse. What was the point of me saying so much?"

"And Jiraiya was here at that time too."

Danzo snorted coldly, his face full of displeasure.

"Now Jiraiya has gone out to fetch Tsunade."

"What if they come back and find out we've appointed a new Hokage..."

Men Yan asked with some concern.

"Heh, wait for them to come back. This matter is already settled, and they have no choice in the matter."

"Can those two still stand against the entire Hidden Leaf Village?"

Danzo laughed sinisterly.

"Moreover, so many geniuses have emerged from Konoha in this battle."

"The most crucial thing now is to plan carefully and get these young geniuses and their families to join our side."

……

These past few days, the atmosphere at Xi Ri's home has been somewhat subtle.

Several times in front of her younger brother, Kurenai hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back, and in the end, she forgot what she wanted to say.

"Jonin Kurenai Yuhi, Elder Monjou requests your presence."

That day, right after lunch, an ANBU member approached Kurenai Yuhi.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

There were numerous post-war reconstruction tasks, and as a Jonin, Kurenai Yuhi achieved a very high level of completion.

However, usually, one either goes to accept the mission oneself or the secret service distributes the mission scrolls.

This direct summons from the elders of Konoha is quite rare.

Soon, Kurenai Yuhi arrived at the Hokage Building.

Upon entering the Hokage's office, I immediately recognized several figures inside.

Shimura Danzo, Mito Menyan, moved to Koharu.

"Greetings, elders. May I ask what brings you here?"

Kurenai asked respectfully.

After exchanging a quick glance, the elders stepped forward and said:

“Kurenai, your younger brother Natsuki made great contributions in this battle.”

"It has already made a name for itself in Konoha, and even throughout the entire ninja world."

"Moreover, with the Third Hokage gone, Konoha urgently needs a capable leader to take on this important task."

"Therefore, we want him to be the acting Hokage and lead the entire Hidden Leaf Village."

These words nearly made Kurenai Yuhi's eyes pop out in fright.

"What did you say? You want Natsuki to be the Hokage?"

154: Puppet Hokage? The Akatsuki organization in red clouds and black robes attacks.

"Are you all crazy? You want Natsuki to be Hokage?"

Kurenai Yuhi stared wide-eyed at the council of elders, her face filled with disbelief.

She knew her brother best.

That guy was lawless, had a delusional mindset, and his every move was laughable.

Although I don't know why, his strength has recently increased dramatically.

It seems like you can become stronger even while sleeping.

He fought the boss in Konoha and the Land of Waves, stopping Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha.

He is hailed as the young hero of Konoha, and the youngest guardian deity of Konoha.

But being able to fight and being able to govern are two completely different things.

The Hokage of Konoha, the number one ninja village, needs not only exceptional strength but also outstanding command skills.

Only then can one deal with the old guys from the various ninja villages.

Moreover, given Xia Mu's playful nature, she would definitely not agree.

"Indeed, Natsuki is too young to become Hokage."

"But Konoha is now in a precarious state, with its overall combat strength low and other major ninja villages eyeing it covetously."

"By the way, are you aware of your brother's talent, as his older sister?"

"He possesses a variety of powerful and strange abilities, and even taught Rock Lee, who did not know ninjutsu, to use the Tathagata Palm, and helped Kiba Inuzuka's ninja beast evolve."

"If this ability is contributed, Konoha's overall strength will surely rise to another level."

Danzo stepped forward and explained.

Although he desperately wanted to become Hokage, he cared even more about the power to influence the fate of others.

Just like a few years ago, when he stole Kotoamatsukami from Uchiha Shisui.

Konoha is weaker than ever before, so it would be better to use Natsuki to drive Tsunade away before she is recalled.

At the same time, he was made to unleash all the powerful abilities he possessed.

Moreover, I just received the latest news these past two days that the Land of Water has completely fallen into the hands of that arrogant Hero King.
