"What's going on?" Colt asked Jiraiya in a low voice.

When he came here, he was thinking this old man might have had some tasks for him.

But then, it seemed like he met the two Hokage counselors... Also, why was the current atmosphere a little strange?

"Nothing much, just some good news for you," Jiraiya smiled slyly.

"Kamiyo Colt, would you like to be the Fifth Hokage of Konoha?" Homura Mitokado asked very seriously.

Colt despite guessing this from the current events, was startled. Him, the Fifth Hokage? Homura sighed, looked at Colt, and continued:

"Now that Konoha is in ruins, the village urgently needs a Hokage to calm people's hearts. Our initial candidate was Jiraiya."

"But Jiraiya recommended you, and Hiruzen valued you greatly during his lifetime, as he was clearly grooming you as his successor."

Homura sighed again. "Although your age and qualifications are lacking, we can't be too picky during these special circumstances. I called you here today just to hear your thoughts."

Colt frowned and looked at Jiraiya.

'So, you're the one who sold me out?'

In truth, Colt wasn't opposed to being Hokage. Fame and fortune were best enjoyed while young. Now that he had the strength, he should also get the status he deserved. Otherwise, how would anyone know he was awesome?

However, being Hokage now was definitely not what Colt wanted. Although the Third was gone, the two elders and Danzo before him were still watching closely. Even if he became Hokage, he'd be restrained by them.

Colt wasn't Tsunade, and his prestige in the village couldn't compare at all. Unless he directly eliminated the three old men and suppressed all dissent with an iron fist. Or he could also become another Minato Namikaze.

Instead, he had the plan of letting Tsunade return to pave the way for him and finally take over comfortably. Wouldn't that be awesome?

After working through this logic, Colt was ready to refuse.

"Actually..."

"I object!" The door was violently pushed open as Danzo walked in using his crutch.

"Homura, Koharu, I think you've lost your minds. How can you hand over the Hokage position to such an inexperienced brat?"

While speaking, he glanced at Colt with clear disdain.

Homura and Koharu's faces also turned ugly.

One of them responded.

"Then, Danzo, who do you think should be chosen? Jiraiya?"

"Don't drag me into this, I won't do it," Jiraiya immediately refused.

Danzo's eyes lit up in anger.

'Me, pick me!'

'You two old fools are blind; Can't you see a great man like me right here?' Danzo roared frantically in his mind, but he couldn't say it out loud.

He had to target Colt again.

"Kamiyo Colt, do you think you're worthy of the position of the Hokage? Young people should be ambitious, but not so much."

"Also, where did your Sharingan come from?"

At this point, he deeply regretted not forcing Colt to leave the Third's side earlier.

Even if it meant killing him. He never expected the civilian genius he looked down on would not only have the Senju bloodline but also the Sharingan.

Very quickly, he became the obstacle preventing him from becoming Hokage.

Colt smiled and said, "Who are you? Are you someone I should know about? You don't look like it..."

Jiraiya's face flushed as he tried not to laugh out loud.

"You!" Danzo was about to explode in anger, but he held back.

In the village, his reputation wasn't as prominent as the Third's and the two elders'. Colt was just a Genin, so it was impossible for him to know Danzo's identity.

"This old man is the leader of Root. Someone like you of course doesn't deserve to know my status."

"Oh~" Colt said in sudden realization, "I heard the Third mention there's a special Root team in the ANBU."

Danzo groaned his expression furious.

This was indeed true - technically, Root did belong to the ANBU. But Root had always followed his own leadership, completely outside of the ANBU's jurisdiction. Even after being disbanded by the Third, the seals on his people's tongues hadn't been lifted.

Unexpectedly, Colt's expression changed as he yelled: Sёarch* The Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"You're just an ANBU squad leader, what are you doing lecturing me, a Hokage candidate!"

"Pfft!" Jiraiya finally couldn't hold it in anymore and shook with suppressed laughter.

"You!" This time, Danzo's hand shook with rage. How many years had it been since anyone dared to talk to him like this?

Homura and Koharu's faces twitched. This kid really had the guts to say that, but from his perspective, there was actually nothing wrong with what he said. They couldn't blame him for

anything.

In the end, Koharu stepped in to introduce Danzo's true identity. Only then did Colt snort coldly and stopped paying attention to Danzo.

"Anyway, I never said I wanted to be the Hokage. I'm still too young and need more

experience."

As soon as he said this, Koharu and Homura felt much more goodwill towards Colt. Such a humble young man was indeed suitable to be a Hokage.

If Colt knew their thoughts, he would definitely laugh out loud. Hadn't he chosen to appear

weak to avoid this simple and petty power struggle?

Even Danzo's gaze towards Colt softened a bit.

"Kid, if you don't become the Hokage, no one else is suitable. I was wrong about you."

Jiraiya grew anxious.

Colt glanced at him. "I remember, there should be another Sannin..."

Hearing this, everyone except Danzo's eyes lit up.

That's right! How could they forget about her?

If it was her, not only would the current chaos in Konoha be quickly sorted out, but she could even take the village to new heights. And when it came to medical ninjutsu, who could

compare to her?

"Yeah, why did I forget about her?" Jiraiya smiled.

"Hmph, do you even know where she is?" Danzo poured cold water on their enthusiasm.

As long as Tsunade didn't return, he could still be the Hokage!

"I remember hearing on a mission before that the 'Legendary Sucker' was seen near Tanzaku Town. She should still be in that area."

Just as everyone was contemplating, Colt casually shattered Danzo's fantasy again.

In truth, how could he know where Tsunade was if hadn't seen the original? But he knew that

this time Jiraiya would definitely be able to bring Tsunade back.

Jiraiya's eyes lit up.

"That's right, Tsunade will definitely be frequenting the casinos. If we follow that line of

thinking, we'll find her sooner or later!"

The two elders were also convinced and looked at each other. "Without further ado, this task

is up to you, Jiraiya."

"No problem, but I'm taking a certain two people with me."

After speaking, he looked at Colt mischievously.
