Theoretically, there are now a total of five heirs to the Hokage in Konoha.

They are Sarutobi Hizashi, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Ueizumi Soju and Kakashi Hagi.

Putting aside the positions of the first three for the time being, Kakashi and Soju can be said to have shared the positions of the bottom one and the bottom two without any suspense.

One age, strength, military exploits, and prestige are not enough.

Another age and strength are enough, but again, there is no military merit and prestige.

If you want to be a Hokage, you can't have any of the four.

With Zongju's current strength, it seems that it is not impossible to forcibly become the Hokage.

His formidable force was enough to suppress everything.

But unless he's an idiot, there's no way he's going to do that.

He didn't want to be a one-man thief, relying on the deterrence of force and terror to rule the village, and finally end up betraying his relatives.

It is not for nothing that there are people who dare to do this, and Wuyin Village is an example.

But if you look at what Fog Hidden Village has become because of this, you can see what the end of this is.

In front of the water shadow above, the people below are planning how to overthrow you every day.

It is possible to eat a silver needle after eating, and if you go out to inspect it, you can suffer three or five assassinations.

If you don't cut such elites one after another, the backbone people will avoid you from afar, and only flatterers will be willing to set foot on your door.

And most of these sycophants are mud that can't hold up the wall, and even if you try your best to hold them up the wall, they can turn around and betray you.

It's so sad.

It's not this kind of Hokage that Zongju wants to be.

He's going to be a Hokage who is rightfully named.

At present, it seems that there are still many opportunities to get on the top.

"So, what are your plans? I don't want to be this Hokage anyway! Tsunade said with his arms folded over his chest.

"And, with what I know about Jiraiya, he probably won't agree to the old man to be this Hokage!"

Zong Ju didn't answer her question, but stood up, looked out the window with his hands behind his back, and said, "What kind of Hokage do you think Konoha needs next?" ”

"The Lord of Success, or the Lord of Pioneers?"

Outside the window, the light rain kept falling, and the sky was overcast.

"What do you mean by that?"

"War is coming! The current international situation is so complicated, and a big war is about to break out, what Konoha needs is an iron-fisted shadow, a shadow capable of turning the tide. ”

"This shadow will definitely choose to come out in the war!" Zong Ju stretched out his hand and let the rain hit his palm.

"Do you want to be a Hokage now, and then become the Hokage?"

"Yes, be an undisputed shadow! I don't want to be a shadow in the future, and I have to fall into those meaningless internal frictions. ”

"Looks like you're sure that war is going to happen?" Tsunade's brow froze.

"It's going to happen! Originally, the third ninja world war was actually not finished, and the villages were still in a state of combat readiness, and they were mobilized quickly! ”

"Now, such an incident has happened in Konoha again, the strength has been greatly reduced, such a good opportunity, which other village will not be tempted?"

Tsunade sighed when he heard this.

She was very averse to war.

But as Zong Ju said, war is not something you can avoid if you want to.

In the time and space where Zongju was not there, after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Yun Yin immediately started a war with Konoha.

Iwakuin is also eyeing the tiger, and there is constant friction on the border.

It is also a point of equinox for the weakened Sha Yin and the Wu Yin who is busy with civil strife.

Now, in this space-time, the war is only going to get more intense.

Because of the turmoil in the Land of Rain, the daimyo of the major powers have all invested in blood to support the ninja village to fight against the Akatsuki organization.

Therefore, the major ninja villages have a certain amount of funds in their hands, which can support a war.

With a sigh, Tsunade walked to Zong Ju's side, looked at the hazy sky outside, and said melancholy: "I don't know when this kind of war will stop!" ”

"Come on, I'll put an end to this era!"

Zong Ju's calm voice was taken for granted.

He has no doubts about this.

......

Tsunade has returned to Konoha, and now she is not only the first heir to the Hokage, but also the head of Konoha's medical department.

There may be a lot of trouble for her in the future, and it should be difficult for Tsunade to return to the front line of the Land of Rain in a short period of time.

Zong Ju is currently the commander of this force.

He would not lead troops into battle, and the time spent on the front line was not enough for him to learn to command an army.

This is a matter of course, and if he can do this, then his military talent will surpass that of most famous generals in history.

If he had this talent, he would have been a master in his previous life.

It's impossible to travel to another world.

As we all know, people do not cross, and most of the people who cross are ......

But it doesn't matter if you don't lead troops to war.

Just like when he fought Orochimaru before, it doesn't matter if he has poor combat awareness.

The power is enough to erase this technological gap.

With his strength, one person can become an army.

It doesn't matter if there are these Konoha ninjas or not, if there is, it will be a drag.

The battlefield of the Land of Rain is nothing more than flat land for him, he can come and go when he wants.

It doesn't matter if there are thousands of troops on the opposite side.

He can solve thousands of people in one breath with a single immortal move.

Crisscrossing thousands of armies, no one can do anything.

Therefore, what he is thinking about now is nothing more than how to find a suitable time to show his strength wantonly.

It's too early to be appropriate.

If it's too early, Konoha's ninja won't have too strong a sense of crisis to establish an image of him turning the tide.

If it's too late, of course, it won't work, if it's too late, not only will Konoha lose too much power, but it will also make everyone resent why you didn't come out earlier.

At this time, you have to grasp a certain degree.

So, during this period of time, on the frontline battlefield, Zong Ju only asked people to spy on the intelligence of the Rain Country every day, as well as to prevent enemy spies from infiltrating.

Often, he gave the order, and then the specific arrangements were made by the people of the Nara family.

Fortunately, there is such an assistance from the Nara family, otherwise Zong Ju would have been dumbfounded in the face of this army.

Time passed day by day, and Zong Ju became familiar with the ninjas in this army little by little.

And within Konoha, high-level meetings are constantly held.

Both Tsunade and Jiraiya were called back.

But unsurprisingly, both refused to be the next Hokage.

As a result, the situation suddenly became troublesome.
