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

If the problem can't be solved, then heroic sacrifice will be the perfect opportunity to replace the current Hokage.

"me……"

Xiaochun, who had just switched dorm rooms, had a purplish-brown face.

"what happened to you?"

Danzo then noticed that Koharu's expression was off.

"I!@#!%"

Xiaochun, who was switching dorms, tried to yell at someone several times, but was interrupted each time.

This caused a tightness in my chest, making me feel like I was suffocating.

Now that she finally had a chance to speak, she wanted to vent all her pent-up frustration.

"I disagree!"

"That kid Xia Mu has no respect for his elders. If he becomes Hokage, he'll ruin the entire Hidden Leaf Village."

"Turning to the next room," Xiaochun said resentfully, finally letting out all the words she had been holding back. It was so smooth.

"Alright, my brother is indeed not suitable to be Hokage. Please, elders, find someone else."

Kurenai nodded quickly and agreed.

427 No matter how strong her younger brother was, in her eyes he was always innocent and needed to be protected.

Dealing with these cunning elders is never a good thing.

"Report! Something bad has happened, Advisor. Two outposts on the northern border of the Land of Fire have lost contact. An investigation has revealed traces of Cloud Ninja activity at the sites."

"The Iwa ninja from the Land of Earth are also being mobilized frequently."

Just then, an ANBU member used the Body Flicker Technique to fly over from a distance.

It brought bad news from a remote border region.

Everyone was startled; what was bound to happen had finally arrived.

Konoha has suffered numerous calamities in the past decade or so.

First came the Nine-Tails' rampage, which resulted in the sacrifice of the Fourth Hokage and his wife, and also severely damaged many elite ninjas and small clans in the village.

Several years later, the Uchiha clan rebelled, and their overall strength declined significantly once again.

Now, during the Chunin Exams, Orochimaru launched the Konoha Crush Plan, and the Third Hokage also sacrificed himself.

With so many blows, one can't help but seriously doubt whether Konoha still has the strength to be the number one ninja village in the ninja world.

Everyone expected that the neighboring great ninja village would not let go of such a good opportunity to test the waters.

I just didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.

Before Konoha could elect a new Hokage, they began to invade the border.

I suspect the village spies are also on the move frequently.

"Ugh……"

Mitokado Yan couldn't help but sigh.

Konoha now really can't withstand any more turmoil. Back in his youth, he and the Third Hokage, known as the "Ninja Hero," dominated the ninja world.

Now that I'm old, I have no choice but to bow to reality.

Protecting Konoha still requires the help of young people.

Even though he didn't like Xia Mu's personality, he had to admit that the kid was quite strong.

The other young geniuses in Konoha are far inferior to him.

If the Iwa ninja and Kumo ninja attack, only he can intimidate the enemy.

Just like the White Fang of Konoha in the past, the Golden Flash appeared on the battlefield, and the enemy army retreated without a fight.

Konoha needs a powerful Kage-level fighter like this now.

Thinking of Sakumo Hatake and Minato Namikaze, Homura Mito sighed inwardly once more.

Finally, he walked up to Xia Mu and said:

"As you've heard, Konoha is in dire straits, with various factions stirring up trouble. As long as the Hokage isn't appointed, the outside world will assume that Konoha is still in turmoil."

"Therefore, as the former Hokage's advisor, I implore you to become the Fifth Hokage."

Although the plan discussed with Danzo and the others was to use Natsuki, a talented but clueless hothead, as a puppet Hokage.

But at this moment, he really wanted someone to stabilize Konoha and intimidate the surrounding area.

After all, his family, his roots, are in Konoha. If Konoha were to perish because of infighting, then everything would be meaningless.

He was an old man nearing the end of his life, and his reluctance to relinquish power was nothing more than a desire to secure more benefits for his family.

"Mitokado Homura! Didn't you even see his attitude just now..."

　(bfee) Upon seeing Mitokado Homura's decision, Utatane Koharu immediately turned pale and shouted.

"Shut up! Don't you know what time it is?"

"If the Iwa and Kumo ninjas come to attack, are you going to rely on an old, weak, and disabled person like you instead of young people?"

"When surrounded by enemies on all sides, only the strongest is worthy of being the Hokage, and no one is more suitable than Natsuki."

Mitokado Yan sternly stopped Utatane Koharu from going crazy.

This angered her so much that her face turned a deep purple-brown.

Danzo Shimura almost couldn't resist jumping out from the shadows of Konoha behind him.

He had something to say about being the strongest in Konoha: he had hidden his Wood Release abilities, possessed an arm full of Sharingan, and was Shisui's Kotoamatsukami.

Is Konoha's strongest?

It's ridiculous; he doesn't think this kid can beat him.

However, now is not the time to expose myself. I should let that brat help me clear the obstacles and defeat the enemies before I can come out and reap the fruits of victory in peace.

At that time, he will firmly hold the position of Hokage and realize his decades-long dream.

"You clearly want my brother to go to the battlefield, I disagree!"

Although it was the first time she had seen the Hokage's advisor so humble, for Natsuki's safety, Kurenai gritted her teeth and stepped forward to refuse.

"We do need Natsuki's strength, but don't forget that Konoha is our home."

"If the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning start a war, all of us ninjas will go to the battlefield with Natsuki."

"Including us old guys."

Mitokado Homura, with an air of righteousness and a serious expression, spoke.

For a moment, this left Xi Ri Hong speechless.

No wonder he served as the Hokage's advisor for decades.

In the original work, even after the Third Hokage sacrificed himself.

She was also adept at strategizing, managing to win over Jiraiya and bring Tsunade back. During this time, she employed countless methods to suppress Danzo's ambitions to seize power, a mere Naruto fan.

The Naruto Manual even praises Mitokado Homura for possessing strength and wisdom on par with the Third Hokage.

His main job is to serve as the Hokage's advisor, leading the ninja village with clear thinking and making judgments on ever-changing situations.

He was the Third Hokage's playmate in his childhood, so he always stood by Hiruzen Sarutobi. His great strength and wisdom also earned him the trust of most Jonin.

This is perhaps the main reason why, even after the Third Hokage's sacrifice, Danzo was still suppressed and unable to take power in the original story.

Natsuki recalled information about the character Mitokado Homura from his previous life.

Although reality differs slightly from the established narrative, judging from this person's behavior, it seems to be largely in line with the evaluation.

However, it would be foolish to completely believe the righteous words of a person who has been adept at maneuvering for decades and whose political schemes are ingrained in his very being.

The elders' various actions were probably all an act.

However, it wouldn't make sense to transmigrate to this world and not experience being a Hokage for the first time.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on it.

Xia Mu chuckled softly:

"Stop acting, I'm taking the Hokage role!"

161: The most beautiful Jonin in the entire Hidden Leaf Village

"Lord Hokage..."

An undercover agent wearing an animal mask knelt on one knee and respectfully called out.

But there was a hint of helplessness deep in his eyes.

Because the Hokage in front of her was the newly appointed Fifth Hokage.

He is also the youngest Hokage in history.
