Chapter 47: The Heirs
"Jiraiya-sensei is still in the Hokage's office. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 I don't know what Hokage-sama means by leaving the teacher there alone. The Uchiha priest replied.
"Hokage's office. Sarutobi Yoshihiko said meaningfully.
……
In the Hokage's office.
After the three generations of Hokage and the other three Uchiha Matsuri left, he asked bluntly, "Jiraiya, after this mission, what do you think of the two little guys, Mizumon and Matsuri?"
As the best of the first batch of students after the reopening of the ninja school, the Uchiha Festival and the Bo Feng Mizumon were naturally focused on by the three generations of Hokage.
Especially since the third generation of Hokage is close to the retirement age of fifty years old, it is natural that the candidates for the fourth generation of Hokage need more attention.
As a direct student of the three generations of Hokage, Sanshinobi is undoubtedly the most likely to inherit the position of the fourth generation of Hokage. Among the three ninjas, the most favorite of the three generations of Hokage is none other than Orochimaru, who is known as a genius. Therefore, at present, Orochimaru is the most likely to inherit the position of the fourth Hokage.
Secondly, it's Jiraiya and Tsunade Hime. However, due to Jiraiya's loose nature and love of freedom, Jiraiya will definitely not agree to take the position of Hokage. And Tsunade Hime, he has not explicitly opposed being the Hokage, but because he focuses on medical treatment, it is not very likely that Tsunade will be nominated by the third generation Hokage.
To sum up, among the three, only Orochimaru has the ability and willingness to inherit the position of Hokage. And Orochimaru is still in the first line of the Hokage's heir.
The second in line of the Hokage's heir fell on the generation of the three ninja apprentices. Orochimaru has not accepted any disciples so far (the subordinates of the squad are not strictly considered disciples), and Tsunade's disciples are basically all medical ninjas, so the only ones who have the potential to inherit the position of Hokage are the two apprentices of Jiraiya, Bo Feng Shuimon and Uchiha Matsuri.
If you want to ask Shimura Danzou and Hagi Sakushige if they also have a chance to inherit the Hokage, then you are very wrong.
For Shimura Danzo, the three generations of Hokage can be said to know the roots. It is precisely because he knows Shimura Danzo's character very well that the third generation Hokage will not pass on the position of the fourth generation Hokage to him.
And Hachiki Shuomao, unfortunately, is not a descendant disciple of the Hokage. Throughout the Hokage, they were basically all inherited as disciples of the Hokage. Therefore, it is unlikely that Sakuge Hachiki will inherit the Hokage's position.
Seeing the results of the three generations of Hokage asking about his observations, Jiraiya thought for a while, and then said, "The two little guys of Mizuto and Matsuri have no problem in terms of character. Both of them have a strong team spirit and sense of responsibility. Both of them dream of being Hokage......"
Jilai also said a lot of observations, from character to personality in various aspects.
After listening to Jiraiya's statement, the three generations of Hokage held a pipe in his mouth, and then asked, "What is the ability of these two little guys?"
"Since Mizumon learned the second generation of adults' Flying Thunder God, his strength has increased greatly, and his ability has surpassed that of ordinary Zhongnin. It's hard to say the strength of the sacrifice. Jiraiya said.
"Can't you say?" the three Hokages were slightly surprised.
"Hmm. I always felt that the festival didn't use all of his tricks. From medical ninjutsu, to Yin seals, to double hook jade writing wheel eyes, the strength of the sacrifice has refreshed my cognition little by little. Relying on these three things, the sacrifice is enough to compete with ordinary Shangnin. Jiraiya said slowly.
"Ordinary ninja...... Hearing this, the three generations of Hokage muttered to themselves.
As the two leaders of the same class, Bo Feng Shuimen has reached the level of surpassing the middle ninja with the skill of flying thunder god. And the Uchiha Festival, if it can compete with ordinary Shangnin, then at least in terms of strength, the Uchiha Festival is already half a step ahead of the wave feng shui gate.
After thinking carefully for a while, the three generations of Hokage suddenly asked, "Jiraiya, who do you think is more suitable for the position of Hokage between the two of them?"
Hearing the third generation Hokage suddenly ask this question, he asked incomprehensibly, "Teacher, if you talk about the fourth generation Hokage, isn't Orochimaru more in line with your heart?"
"Orochimaru?"
Hearing Jiraiya's words, the three generations of Hokage couldn't help but think of the cold eyes that Orochimaru inadvertently showed more than ten years ago, and then shook his head.
Without answering Jiraiya's question, the third Hokage just said lightly: "Orochimaru is also under investigation." ”
Seeing that the three generations of Hokage did not answer their questions directly, Jiraiya immediately said, "If you have to choose one of the two, please forgive me for not being able to make a choice now." ”
"Oh?" the third Hokage said curiously.
"First of all, compared to the sacrifice, the water gate is more gentle, sunny, and patient, but the disadvantage of the water gate is that this child is too kind, some dark things may not be acceptable, and in terms of strength, it is slightly inferior to the sacrifice. ”
"And the sacrifice, compared to the water gate, is more rational, more ideas, and stronger, and the disadvantage is that the uncertainty of the sacrifice is too great. At the same time, although Matsuri has not been with the Uchiha since he was a child, he is still a member of the Uchiha clan after all. ”
Jilai also analyzed it rationally.
Konoha streets.
Bidding farewell to Sarutobi Yoshihiko's class, the three of the fifth class walked aimlessly on the streets of Konoha.
"Mizumon, do you have something to do?" the Uchiha Matsuri asked suddenly.
"No, what's wrong?"
"Then let's go to the training ground now. The Uchiha Matsuri said with a smile.
"Huh?"
Bo Feng Mizumon looked at the Uchiha Festival with black lines on his face.
Anyway, why did this guy suddenly remember to learn from himself.
In stark contrast to the wave of wind and water, Inuzuka was in good spirits as soon as he heard that the Uchiha festival was going to compete with the wave of wind and water.
"Okay, when do you start, I'll go and watch. Inuzuka E excitedly hugged the Uchiha Matsuri and the wave of the wind and water, and there was not the slightest tiredness on his face.
"Since you have this will, then I will accompany you to the end. Bo Feng Shuimen smiled.
Although he didn't show it, Bo Feng Shuimon has always been angry about losing to the Uchiha Festival a year ago. Now that the other party took the initiative to make an appointment, Bo Fengshuimen agreed very straightforwardly.
However, just as the Uchiha Matsuri trio were about to walk to the training ground, Inuzuka suddenly stopped the two who were about to enter.
"What's wrong, Huh?" asked the Uchiha Matsuri.
Seeing Inuzuka E looking down and thinking about something, the Uchiha Matsuri had a bad premonition in his heart.
"I seem to smell four unfamiliar chakra scents. Inuzuka said seriously.
"Unfamiliar smell, what's there to be wary of?" asked Bo Feng Shuimen puzzled.
In peacetime, it is also common for there to be several ninjas from other villages in Konoha Village.
In addition to these four unfamiliar smells, I also seemed to ask about the strong smell of blood. ”
