Chapter 121: The Unwilling Tuanzang
"Conan, three generations of adults want to see you."
Conan, who was taking care of the unconscious Sasuke with Naruto early in the morning, suddenly received a summons from the shadows.
When Conan arrived at the Hokage's office, he found that there was a heated argument going on inside.
"I don't agree, at his age, he doesn't have that qualification to be a Hokage at all, he's only twelve years old." Tuan Zang excitedly slapped the table and argued loudly.
"Why don't you agree, although he is a little younger, his ability is beyond doubt, whether it is strength, resourcefulness, prestige, or character, strength, and the degree of support, it can be said that it is perfect, I think there is no one more suitable to be a Hokage than him." The three generations explained slowly, unhurriedly, as if stating an established fact.
"I don't approve of it, although it is undeniable that his strength is indeed very strong, but his character is too weak, he has repeatedly shown mercy to the enemy's subordinates, and even put himself in danger, he is simply naΓ―ve to the extreme, and he is very impulsive, he would want to start a war against Yun Shinobi because of a woman, how can such a heart become a Hokage?" As he spoke, Tuan Zang looked at Koharu and Menyan, wanting to get support from the two.
It's just that another group is disappointed that the two people, who have always valued his opinion, didn't seem to have heard what he said, and the old god was drinking tea while they were at ease, without saying a word.
Sarufei smiled: "Don't be so excited, maybe this is just as you said, Conan still has a lot of shortcomings, but in terms of his age, he has performed perfectly, we old guys can live for a few more years, and we can assist him on the side, until he really becomes a qualified Hokage." β
"In any case, I can't approve of a twelve-year-old being the Hokage, don't you think it's ridiculous to hand over the future of Ninja Village to a twelve-year-old? If you're not careful, maybe we Konoha will become a laughing stock. Tuan Zang shook his head stubbornly, refusing to let go at all.
At this time, Menyan, who had been drinking tea quietly, opened his mouth.
"Tuan Zang, it's not a question that we don't agree with, it's that we don't have a choice at all, and no one of his contemporaries or even previous generations can compete with him, if it weren't for this, we Konoha wouldn't have had a new Hokage to succeed him for so many years, can you cite a more suitable candidate?"
"I" Danzou couldn't help blurting out this sentence for a moment, and after a pause, Danzou continued: "If I become the Hokage, I will definitely be able to lead Konoha back to glory." β
For a while, the room was silent, and the three generations of Mito Menyan all looked at Tuan Zang blankly.
After a moment of silence, several people from all three generations burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, it seems that Tuan Zang you haven't served the old man yet, you have been shouting this sentence for a lifetime, and my ears are about to grow calluses when I hear your words." Zhuan Xiaochun said with a smile.
Menyan on the side also joked: "Ape Fei, you have to be careful, Tuan Zang has been thinking about your position for a long time, maybe he will kill you when he takes the position." β
Ape Fei smiled: "I'm not afraid of him, I have long wanted to have another happy fight with him." β
For a while, several people seemed to have returned to their youthful days, laughing and laughing.
Tuan Zang gritted his teeth and stood aside, his face was almost purple, but he didn't expect several people to take his words as a joke, obviously he was very serious.
Seeing Tuanzang Tieqing's face, several people in the three generations smiled more cheerfully, but a few people didn't expect that Tuanzang, who was about to enter the ground, was still really thinking about the position of the Hokage, and they all thought that he just didn't admit defeat, after all, he had been saying this sentence for many years.
Once you want to choose the next Hokage in such a position, you must choose a young and strong person, just like those daimyo choose the heir to the throne, otherwise you just became the Hokage for a few years and knelt down again, what a lot of turmoil, which village can withstand the death of several Shadows in a row, of course, Danzou also understands that his chance of being the Hokage can be said to be almost zero, even if he chooses Jiraiya and Tsunade, it is impossible to choose him again, after all, his age is too dangerous.
Although he understands everything, Tuan Zang is just unwilling, especially the fourth generation Hokage is also a person from the third generation, and the fifth generation Hokage is also coming soon, which makes Tuan Zang how can he be willing, he has worked hard all his life and has not even wiped the hair of the Hokage, and the three generations easily produced a few Hokage, and for a while, a raging fire burned in Tuan Zang's heart, but this emotion was well concealed by him.
"Hmph, I wouldn't agree anyway."
"Haha." Zhuan Xiaochun smiled: "How can you still have such a temper when you are a lot older, now is not the time to joke, I know that you have always been at odds with Ape Fei, he said that you want to go west, but now this kind of big thing can't be caused by temperament, Konoha is despised by other villages and even provoked wars one after another, this is because after the death of the four generations of Hokage, our young generation of Konoha is too weak, and we can't even choose a successor, which is a huge blow to our Konoha prestige, The selection of a suitable successor is already imminent. β
Menyan also nodded seriously: "What is the most important point about becoming a Hokage?" It's strength, age is dispensable in the face of strength, don't forget the name given to him by the ninja world, other villages won't treat him as a child, the Hokage can be incapacitated, and even daily decision-making and resolutions in all aspects can be handled by the secretary and the village elders, but only strength can not be replaced, a powerful Hokage can improve the external deterrence of the entire ninja village by more than one section, and the Hokage on the battlefield is even more to take the lead, He is the only one in this generation who meets the strength requirements, not to mention that his other abilities are already perfect, and I agree that he will become the Hokage. β
Zhuan Xiaochun also nodded and said, "I also agree." Speaking of which, Xiaochun also made a joke: "No matter what, he is much stronger than Ape Fei back then, isn't he?" Back then, he made a lot of jokes when he became the Hokage, haha. β
Hearing this, the three generations and Menyan laughed heartily again, while Tuan Zang was silent on the side without saying a word.
"Since that's the case, I'm ready to nominate it, as long as the daimyo agrees, and most of the Shinobi in the village don't object, it can be determined that Conan is the fifth Hokage." Three generations finally made a decision.
Seeing that the position of the fifth generation of Hokage was about to fall into the third generation and one line, Tuan Zang stood up unwillingly.
"Wait, I still have a few questions to ask Conan, and it's not too late to make a decision when he comes over."
