Chapter 273 Naruto's Hokage Dream Shattered
Chapter 273 Naruto's Hokage Dream Shattered
Sasuke was stunned; this was the first time Tsunade had said something like that to him.
The Sixth Hokage—this was something he had never imagined.
He wanted to work hard to become stronger, live a good life with Sakura, and after having offspring, kill Uchiha Itachi to avenge the Uchiha clan.
Even without considering Urashiki Otsutsuki's power, Sasuke's strength is already enough to kill Itachi Uchiha.
But precisely because his strength far surpassed that of Itachi Uchiha, and he could take revenge at any time, he was no longer in a hurry.
Sasuke naturally believed that Tsunade was serious when she said those things to him.
After all, Tsunade and Yoru knew each other very well what kind of person Yoru was.
If there were other candidates, Yoru would definitely not agree to make him the Sixth Hokage.
Moreover, Ye Yu will definitely push him to the position, and he won't even be able to refuse.
Thinking of this, Sasuke's lips twitched slightly. "That guy will probably do that."
Tsunade shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "There's nothing we can do. That's just the kind of person he is. But it's fine. I believe that either of you becoming the Sixth Hokage will make Konoha very strong."
"I can't really say much about that guy, after all, how much better am I than him?"
Tsunade also knew that she and Yoru had similar personalities.
This was the only thing the two Hokage advisors disliked about her.
She's just too disorganized; if she can ask someone else to do something, she resolutely refuses to do it herself.
Take the time to be lazy.
In this respect, Sasuke is definitely much better than Yoru and her.
Sasuke has been Konoha's workaholic for the past three years.
In just three years, he accomplished the same amount of missions as a Jonin who had served for over a decade.
It was during these three years that Sasuke established his prestige in Konoha.
It was in no way inferior to Minato Namikaze back then.
Therefore, if he were nominated as the Sixth Hokage, very few people would object.
Even the two Hokage advisors wouldn't object, because Sasuke no longer has the Uchiha clan behind him.
However, Danzo would definitely object, since it was he who gave Itachi the order to exterminate the Itachi clan.
Whether or not the third generation knew about it, they did not appear in the whole affair.
Danzo knew that if Sasuke came to power, he would definitely be purged.
Naturally, he would not allow Sasuke to take the stage.
However, he has essentially lost all power in Konoha, making it impossible for him to prevent Sasuke from taking power.
Even if he dislikes Ye Yu, he'll probably still try his best to promote her to the stage.
However, given Yoru's personality, since Sasuke can become Hokage, he won't take the position himself.
He couldn't be happier if Sasuke became Hokage, so he could have some peace and quiet.
Unless Konoha Village is truly depleted of its resources, Yoru won't take the position of Hokage himself.
But now Konoha is full of talented people. Besides him and Sasuke, there are also Naruto, Sakura, and the other Konoha Twelve are all very good.
There are far more people who could become Hokage than in the original story.
Ye Yu naturally didn't need to go on stage himself.
Sasuke naturally ignored Tsunade's self-deprecating remarks.
After all, Tsunade is still the Hokage, so he certainly can't openly agree.
However, if Tsunade really asked him to be the Sixth Hokage, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Because he knew that Yoru definitely didn't want to be Hokage. He didn't want to be Hokage as much as Naruto did, but it wouldn't be bad if he could be Hokage.
Although he doesn't need the empty title of Hokage, he's different from Yoru. Yoru hasn't settled down yet, but he's about to marry Sakura.
Even for Sakura's sake, and for their future children, he would become Hokage if he could.
What's remarkable is that Tsunade values Sasuke highly.
Tsunade actually wanted Sasuke to become the Sixth Hokage.
Instead of having Naruto do it.
In the original work, Tsunade greatly admired Naruto, even treating him like her own younger brother, and protecting Naruto's dream as if he were her own brother.
Naruto wants to become Hokage, and she believes that Naruto can achieve his dream.
It's just that it's different now than in the original story.
At this point, the gap between Sasuke and Naruto was enormous, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of personality and ability; Naruto couldn't compare to Sasuke at all.
On the contrary, Naruto's strength is the closest to Sasuke's.
In fact, judging from the original story, Naruto was indeed not suitable to be Hokage. He only became Hokage because he overpowered everyone with his strength.
However, at this time, Sasuke did not defect, and his strength had reached the level of Hokage. Moreover, he had completed many missions in the past three years and had a great reputation in the ninja world.
If Yoru is unwilling to take the role, Sasuke is the most suitable candidate.
Or rather, it's almost fair to say that Sasuke was the only candidate.
Because if given a choice, Yoru would absolutely not take the job.
After Sasuke finished reporting the situation to Tsunade in the Hokage's office, he rushed to Konoha Hospital.
Sakura is now a medical ninja at Konoha Hospital.
Like Ye Yu, he receives double pay.
Moreover, besides Yoru, Sakura is the most famous in Konoha Hospital.
Because her medical ninjutsu is second only to Yoru.
Sitting on the roof reading a book, Ye Yu smiled slightly. "This is getting more and more interesting."
He certainly wouldn't care that Tsunade wanted to push Sasuke to become the Sixth Hokage.
He even understood, because he himself absolutely did not want to be in that position.
Tsunade had to be chosen from among others, and Sasuke was the best choice.
He is capable, efficient, calm, and intelligent; in many ways, he is even better than her.
If she doesn't choose Sasuke, who else could she choose?
But Naruto's dream of becoming Hokage is about to be shattered.
Under Yoru's influence, Sasuke not only did not defect, but his strength also increased significantly compared to this point in the original story, giving him the ability to stand on his own.
In those three years, he accumulated a great reputation in the ninja world, a large number of missions in Konoha, and a great deal of prestige.
If Ye Yu is willing to support him in becoming Hokage, then his becoming Hokage is definitely a done deal.
Even compared to Naruto, who was stronger at this point in the original story, he seemed quite ordinary when he encountered the even stronger Sasuke.
Naruto, whose many flaws could be overlooked before, now seems to have many shortcomings when compared to Sasuke, and is simply not cut out to be Hokage.
Even Tsunade, who was his biggest supporter, has never considered him as her successor as Hokage.
Previously, she only thought that Yoru could succeed her as the Sixth Hokage, but now Sasuke has been added to the list.
This was because she knew that given Yoru's personality, he wouldn't take the role if there were other candidates, which is why she thought of Sasuke.
But the second person she thought of was Sasuke, not Naruto.
In fact, Naruto's strength at this time was second only to Yoru and Sasuke among the ninjas of his generation.
Unfortunately, Yoru and Sasuke were too dazzling, and no one could see him at all.
Thirdly, it's truly ignored.
If anyone in Konoha still supports Naruto, it's Jiraiya.
Jiraiya treated Naruto like his own grandson, after all, he was the son of his beloved student, so of course he treated Naruto like his own grandson.
If it were a matter of recommending someone to be the Sixth Hokage, the first person he would think of would definitely be Yoru, and if Yoru didn't agree, the second person he would think of would be Sasuke.
He didn't think Naruto was suitable to be Hokage.
