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

Hey, I'm not afraid that you, a greenhorn, can resist the temptation of being famous throughout the ninja world.

These fighting and killing things really need you young people to do.

As for Konoha, this great rear area, let us old bones hold it for you.

Mitokado Yan's expression remained unchanged, but the more he thought about it, the happier he became.

He was once a passionate young man who was willing to sacrifice his life for Konoha.

Now, however, it has been discovered that skillful maneuvering and strategic maneuvering are the true keys to consistent success.

Even the formidable Third Hokage, known as the "Hero of Ninja," was subtly influenced by him to become a Hokage skilled in forbearance and yielding in order to seek peace.

He was confident that, through his manipulations, the young Hokage would gradually become the sharpest blade in his hands.

Only a fool like Danzo would be so keen on becoming Hokage. It's a hot potato, a position that everyone's eyeing, and it's not so easy to sit on.

Didn't you see that even the Third Hokage messed things up? I've never seen a Hokage die a natural death.

Wouldn't you want to be the eternal second-in-command? With that power, you could roam freely throughout Konoha without ever having to face danger.

Cultivate your own power base by targeting those within your own ranks who are detrimental to you.

So even if Hiruzen Sarutobi is gone, Danzo has absolutely no chance of becoming Hokage unless he agrees.

Mitokado Homura was somewhat smug. Danzo had repeatedly taken the blame and his power had been suppressed, partly because of Homura's behind-the-scenes schemes.

"Fame? Can you eat this stuff?"

Xia Mu answered nonchalantly, slightly raising his head and looking down at the person with his chin:

"As the Lord of Dimensions and the founder of the Dimensional End Gathering Society, becoming Hokage is merely a matter of personal interest."

"As for the minor disturbances at the border, any one of our members can easily resolve them."

"The Beastmaster of Judgment really enjoys this kind of mission, the Giant of Light also said that he has been too bored lately, and the Second Mage also lacks some training."

Which one of them should we send?

As Natsuki spoke, he fell into deep thought, leaving Mitokado Homura standing aside once again.

Mitomon was sweating profusely as he listened.

That was a miscalculation; I forgot that this little Hokage seems to be a bit off-track on his mind.

They don't play by the rules at all.

He was rendered speechless, unable to utter a single word from his prepared speech.

"By the way, the club hasn't recruited new members in a long time. Now there's an opportunity for you to join the club."

"So, are you interested in my outpatient consultant?"

"The assessment is to clear out the enemy from the border."

Suddenly, Natsuki seemed to have figured something out, and looked at Mitokado Homura with shining eyes.

"Is this...isn't this bad?"

Mitokado was startled.

I have no interest in playing house with you.

Besides, if my old bones really went to the front lines, I'd die.

166: "Summon the daimyo to see me!" Mitokado Homura cried in desperation.

"Lord Hokage, your club sounds like it's full of elites, and with an old man like me added in, it feels a bit out of place."

"Besides, I'm getting old, and my regular work already takes up all my energy. I really don't have the energy to participate in any clubs or organizations."

Mitokado Yan broke out in a sweat and quickly refused.

What kind of club is this? The entrance exam requires going to the front lines.

If you want to take this opportunity to kill me, just say so.

This young Hokage may be young, but he's quite cunning.

Fortunately, I've been working alongside the Hokage for many years and have seen all sorts of tricks. They think they can fool me into leading a team to the front lines? No way!

Kurenai Yuhi, standing next to her, couldn't help but burst out laughing again.

This old elder, who would never utter the title "Lord Hokage" under any circumstances, has suddenly revealed it.

This clearly shows that he was genuinely afraid of joining Xia Mu's unreliable club.

However, now that his younger brother is the Hokage, he needs to keep an eye on him and not let him say anything out of line.

Don't end up offending all the high-ranking officials in Konoha.

Thinking of this, Yuhi Hong stepped forward and helped to smooth things over, saying, "That's right, Elder Men Yan is already busy enough, Xia Mu, don't make things difficult for him."

“You’re right. Having an old guy like you join the club has just dragged down our club’s average.”

Xia Mu frowned, then nodded in agreement.

"Let's just leave it at that then."

Mitokado was speechless, so I just said a few words modestly.

Do you really think a few kids in your club can beat me?

But who is that Beastmaster who handed down the judgment? And who is the Second Magician?

The name sounds scary; it's probably just a nickname that kids make up.

It's that giant of light, which sounds like that kid, Choji Akimichi, who can transform.

If he really transformed into that giant of light, I might not be able to defeat him.

Forget it, I should avoid these fighting and killing things if I can; there's no need for me to worry about them.

I am different from Danzo, who coveted the Hokage position. As long as he doesn't remove me from my position as an advisor or kick me out of Konoha's decision-making body...

Everything is negotiable.

If someone else were to become Hokage, we would have far less say.

But this brat becoming Hokage, showing no respect for anyone, is actually exactly what we wanted.

When he has conflicts with other family patriarchs and elders, he will need to rely on me to resolve them.

In the end, everyone will realize that I, Mitokado Homura, am the most indispensable person in Konoha.

And he seems to listen to his sister quite a bit.

His sister has a strong sense of belonging to Konoha and listens to her elders, so he can relay some messages to her.

I should give this girl more positive feedback on her work in the future and try to build a good impression on her.

"By the way, Fifth Hokage, the imperial edict from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has arrived."

As if he had just remembered, Mitokado Yan took a scroll out of his pocket and handed it over.

"The Daimyo of the Land of Fire?"

Xia Mu frowned and took the scroll.

"Yes, the Daimyo is the nominal supreme leader of the Land of Fire."

"All the tax revenue of the entire Land of Fire is gathered there, and countless samurai are kept there."

"Although we Konoha ninjas are the strongest fighting force in the Land of Fire, we do not engage in production in normal times. Therefore, we still have to rely on the supplies and mission bounties from the daimyo and feudal lords for all major expenses."

"Now that they have agreed to let you succeed as the Fifth Hokage, you only need to go to the capital of the Land of Fire in five days to meet the Daimyo."

Mitokado explained with a smile.

Natsuki opened the scroll, and sure enough, it said that the current Daimyo of the Land of Fire had agreed to let Natsuki Yuhi succeed as the Fifth Hokage.

He was also instructed to travel to the capital of the Land of Fire five days later to be formally appointed.

"You want me, the Hokage, to meet some Daimyo? You've got it backwards."

Xia Mu snorted coldly and casually tossed it aside.

The repulsive force of the Tenseigan is activated.

Bang! ! !

The scroll burst through the window with a roar, like a cannonball being fired.

It disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Ah? This..."

Mitokado Homura was startled and quickly advised, "Hokage-sama, this has always been the procedure."

"Every Hokage needs the consent and authorization of the Daimyo to take office."

"This is just a formality, used to demonstrate the supreme leadership of the Daimyo in the Land of Fire."

"Even the Third Hokage went through this process."

Natsuki didn't even glance at Mitokado Homura.
