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

Page 177

This guy and his Uchiha clan have a deep-seated hatred for Konoha, especially for us old bones. Now that they have the support of the Hidden Mist Village ninjas, they will definitely lead them to make a comeback.

Then, I can hide myself and let these passionate young people take the lead.

Once this brat is no longer of any use, then assassinate him.

The Hokage throne still belongs to him.

This time, there was no one like Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old fox with his smooth talk, to stop him.

Although Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu continued to prevent him from ascending to the Hokage throne.

But he never really took those two old guys seriously. If it weren't for Jiraiya and Tsunade's support, he could have taken care of them at any time.

"Xia Mu's abilities...~~..."

Kurenai Yuhi was in a bit of a dilemma.

Oh no, I forgot about this a few days ago because of the algae problem.

She had originally wanted to ask him how he possessed so many powerful skills.

As a result, while helping him scrub his body, she accidentally grabbed Natsuki's Noble Phantasm.

I startled myself.

This kid's strength has increased dramatically; I never expected even this aspect to increase so much.

It's so scary.

I've been avoiding him for the past few days.

Mitokado Homura thought that Yuhi Kurenai was still hesitant about Natsuki becoming Hokage.

He also stepped forward to advise:

"Now, Konoha is facing a great calamity, morale is low, and its overall combat strength has dropped by two levels."

"We need a powerful person with unlimited potential to become Hokage and deter the villains."

"Becoming Hokage is the ultimate goal that many ninjas strive for in their entire lives. If Natsuki becomes Hokage, he will surely revive the glory of your Yuhi Clan."

"As for troublesome political affairs, we old bones can hold on for a few more years and are willing to serve the Hokage for a few more years."

Mitomon Homura solemnly declared, appearing righteous and awe-inspiring.

The words "to revive the glory of the Yuhi family" touched Kurenai Yuhi.

Indeed, it's truly a pity that the family is now reduced to just the last two siblings.

If Natsuki could become Hokage.

The Xi Ri family will surely rise to glory once again.

The spirit of the former clan chief and father, Kurenai Yuhi, would surely be gratified.

Moreover, Konoha is their home, and protecting Konoha is their duty as Konoha ninjas.

However, I always felt that these old guys had ill intentions.

Those who engage in political persuasion all have dirty hearts.

Xia Mu is so naive. If she gets caught up in this mess, won't she be sold out and still be counting money for them?

Furthermore, what does it mean that they help with government affairs?

Is this making Natsuki a puppet Hokage?

You're all comfortably holding Konoha in the rear, aren't you?

Although Kurenai Yuhi was very interested in becoming Hokage, she decided to refuse for the sake of her younger brother's safety.

"Forget it, Xia Mu is still too young to shoulder such a heavy responsibility."

"He himself is still a child."

"By the way, Kakashi Hatake is exceptionally capable and was once a renowned genius in Konoha and the ninja world."

"Why not make Kakashi the Hokage? Or Asuma, the Third Hokage's son?"

While refusing, Kurenai Yuhi suggested several other candidates.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu immediately exchanged glances.

Heh, if they come, how are we supposed to control the Hokage position?

We need someone like Natsuki, someone the whole village knows, a renowned hero of Konoha, with great abilities.

At the same time, people who are innocent, immature, and no different from children are easier to control.

He's practically the perfect candidate for puppet Hokage.

"Hehe, you know that was before."

"Kakashi has been in a slump for too long and has long lost his former glory and strength as a Konoha genius."

"As for Asuma, having been under the protection of the Third Hokage for many years, he has developed an indecisive personality..."

Before Xiaochun could finish explaining (to Zhao), she was already in the dormitory.

A figure suddenly appeared outside the Hokage's office.

"Reporting to the elders."

"A powerful enemy has attacked Konoha! Kakashi Hatake and Asuma Sarutobi went to stop them, but suffered a crushing defeat!"

"One person is unconscious, and one person is seriously injured."

"We need support."

The member of the Dark Guard, wearing an animal mask, spoke urgently.

"What? Kakashi and Asuma were both defeated?"

"How many people came from the other party?"

Mitokado Yan was taken aback. He quickly asked.

Even Kurenai Yuhi rolled her eyes.

This is such a coincidence.

We were just talking about Kakashi and Asuma when they got beaten up.

He is definitely not suitable to be Hokage.

There were only two people on the other side.

"A black robe with red clouds."

"One of them is Itachi Uchiha, an S-rank rogue ninja from Konoha!"

155: I've been watching you all, Tsukuyomi!!

On the calm river surface.

Four figures stood facing each other.

Two of them were wearing black imperial robes with red cloud patterns and straw hats.

He exuded an aura of mystery and unpredictability, with a faint killing intent permeating his being, causing those who approached him to feel a chill run down their spines and their hair stand on end.

Standing opposite them were Kakashi Hatake and Asuma Sarutobi.

If it weren't for the elders' summons.

According to the original work, there will be another person standing here, Kurenai Yuhi.

"Uchiha... Itachi! I didn't expect you to dare to come back."

Kakashi's expression turned serious.

With just one Sharingan, he became famous throughout the ninja world, known as the Copy Ninja Kakashi.

On the other side was a genius from the Uchiha clan, who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at a young age and launched the clan annihilation war that shocked the ninja world.

In terms of cruelty, magnanimity, and level of danger, Kakashi himself was inferior.

Konoha is in a weakened state, having just experienced a war, the death of the Hokage, a change in leadership, and a heavy workload of reconstruction.

Unexpectedly, Itachi Uchiha took advantage of the situation and broke into Konoha at this time.

I have no confidence in defeating them, so I can only cooperate with Asuma to hold them off and wait for reinforcements.

"Kakashi, be careful."

"The guy next to him is probably no pushover either."

"Their uniform attire makes it seem as if they've joined a remarkable organization."

Asuma's expression was exactly the same, his eyes full of wariness.

They were, after all, Jonin who were somewhat well-known in Konoha.

But the two people opposite them seemed very relaxed, clearly not taking them seriously.

“Interesting. It seems you’ve run into someone you know, Mr. Itachi.”
