Chapter 465： Hokage candidate

Chapter 465 Hokage Candidate

Obito got up very early today because he has become a jounin. According to Kakashi's experience, Mu Yue will give him a jonin gift.

Obito is looking forward to this very much, and he also wants to have a psychic beast with great potential.

 At the same time, Obito is a little worried. Muyue said before that he does not have ninja eggs for the time being, which means that Obito's jounin gift may not be a ninja egg, but may also be other gifts.

Although Obito would be happy as long as it was a gift from Mu Yue, if Kakashi had something that he didn't have, Obito would still feel a little uncomfortable.

Watching Mu Yue approaching, Obito cast an expectant look.

When Obito watched Mu Yue walk up to him with empty hands, Obito felt a little uneasy.

He looked left and right and saw that Mu Yue didn't seem to have Ninja Beast Eggs hidden on her body. After all, the Ninja Beast Eggs Mu Yue sent out were quite big, so it was quite difficult to hide them on her body.

Seeing that Obito seemed a little disappointed, Mu Yue took out the ninja beast egg from the system backpack with a thought, and a big egg appeared out of thin air in Mu Yue's hand.

“Obito, congratulations on becoming a Jonin.” Mu Yue showed a warm smile and handed the Pokémon egg that only Obito could hatch to Obito.

 He ​​didn't say this entirely for the sake of Air Obito. Shisui's breakthrough did put a lot of pressure on him.

Until Kakashi Shisui and the others arrived, Obito was still holding the ninja egg happily.

As the reward information popped up, a large number of training experiences related to Tianqi appeared in Mu Yue's mind.

“Teacher Muyue, thank you for your gift. I will definitely hatch the ninja beast and train him into the strongest psychic beast!” Obito said excitedly, clenching his fists.

The protagonist of ninja novels usually has a fierce and handsome psychic beast, usually a tiger or a lion or a flying dragon. Obito also wants to have a handsome and fierce psychic beast like the protagonist of the novel.

【You gave the disciple a Pokémon egg, and because the disciple was very grateful, he was rewarded with a big critical hit, and he received the reward—Water Release: Sky Cry (Mastery Level)】

Different from the water escape ninjutsu like Water Dragon Bullet, Tianqi is a water escape that uses point-breaking surface. Its main focus is fast speed and high penetrating power, and it is relatively difficult to detect because of its body shape, which is like a thin needle.

Logically speaking, he was already the youngest person in Konoha to become a Jonin at the age of ten, but it was indeed a little less interesting than Shisui's eight-year-old.

Holding the hard-earned ninja beast egg in his arms, Obito couldn't help but smile. He was imagining how tall and powerful the ninja beast would be when his ninja beast egg hatched.

"Kakashi, how did you know that I was promoted to Jonin?" Obito couldn't help but said after seeing Kakashi.

Actually, Tianqi Muyue had brushed it before when she was in class, but only twice, so her proficiency was still at the beginning. Now she has mastered it directly, which is not bad.

Kakashi:…

Because the Wuxiang Sword was too difficult, Kakashi never made any progress. Originally, he wanted to concentrate on practicing and ignore other things. Since Obito wanted to make himself miserable, Kakashi would not be polite.

"Uh, Shisui..." Obito was speechless, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.

Although he said something like "nothing more than that" and "I don't like psychic beasts very much" before, these were just words made out of anger and were not what Obito really thought in his heart.

“Yes, I believe it.” Mu Yue smiled and nodded.

"It's not unusual to be promoted to a Jonin. Look at Shisui, he became a Jonin at the age of eight. This is something worth mentioning." Kakashi said unceremoniously.

Kakashi walked past Obito with an indifferent expression. He obtained the ninja beast eggs earlier than Obito, and the ninja beasts hatched out.

The expression of disappointment on Obito's face faded, replaced by an expression of indescribable joy.

Who asked you?

"If you're too idle, practice more, otherwise you won't be able to advance to the second round of the next civil war. Shisui has also mastered the Breath of Fire Chakra mode." After Kakashi said this, he entered the state and started practicing.

Kakashi believes that if the civil war among his disciples begins immediately, he is not 100% sure of defeating any one of them.

Metkai is an opponent that he will definitely not be able to defeat, and Shisui and Obito are not very confident as opponents for Kakashi.

 Among them, Kakashi felt that he would have a better chance of winning against Obito than against Shisui.

Obito was speechless as he hugged the egg. Kakashi had finished saying all the good and bad things, and he couldn't even refute anything.

"Now Shisui knows one more weapon color than me." Obito held the egg in his right hand and scratched his head with his left hand.

Although Obito's Breath of Fire is still stronger, it is not strong enough to make up for the gap of an armed color secret.

The only thing that makes Obito happy is that they have limited chakra now. If Shisui uses the Breath of Fire chakra mode in battle, it will be difficult to retain chakra to use the weapon color.

If Shisui uses the Armament Color first, the Fire Release that can be released in the Breath of Fire Chakra mode later will be less.

Obito could only reluctantly put the ninja beast egg in a safe place and start training.

It is really painful to be at the bottom of the civil war. Not only is it a matter of face, but the punishment is also hard for Obito to accept.

The practice lasted until half past five in the afternoon.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, when Mu Yue was preparing to eat, there was a knock on his door.

Mu Yue did not open the door directly. He opened his eyes and looked at the door, and found that the person knocking on the door was actually Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Then Mu Yue walked to the door at a normal speed and opened the door. When she saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, she made a surprised expression, as if she was surprised why the third-generation Hokage, who had everything to do, appeared at his door.

“Sandaime-sama, please come in.” After Mu Yue reacted, she quickly invited Sarutobi Hiruzen in.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the steaming food on the meal and smiled apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry. It seems I disturbed Mu Yue while you enjoyed your dinner."

"No problem, Sandaime-sama, have you eaten?" Mu Yue played the classic starting card.

"Not yet. There are a lot of things that need to be dealt with recently. I just left the Hokage Building." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

"If I had time, I would have called Mu Yue, the great hero of the East Coast battlefield, to the Hokage Building to have a chat." Sarutobi Hiruzen used a joke to point out his importance to Mu Yue.

“Where, Lord Orochimaru is the real hero on the east coast battlefield.” Mu Yue said seriously.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words sounded nice, but he couldn't take them all. The one who deserved the most credit must be the commander with the highest position.

"If you don't mind, Sandaime-sama, you can have dinner here with me? I know a little bit about cooking." "Then I'll have to look forward to your craftsmanship, Muyue." Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed with a smile. .

There are many reasons why he chose to come to Muyue's house in person, one of which was to make Muyue feel better about him.

In the past, Sarutobi Hiruzen's image to Mu Yue was more of a good Hokage and a good teacher. Today, he is going to put down his identity and become Mu Yue's ordinary elder. Having dinner together is a good start.

Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi could not have agreed to eat just because Mu Yue knew a little about cooking. He was the Hokage of the Five Ninja Villages and had never tasted any delicacies.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed very busy during the war, but even the ninja world did not fight wars every year. During peacetime, Hokage's life was very nourishing.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was not impressed, changed his expression after taking the first bite of fried meat.

With Sarutobi Hiruzen's rich vocabulary, he didn't even know what words to use to describe such delicious food. In a daze, he seemed to be a wild beast running on the prairie, and a sense of unfettered freedom surrounded his heart.

When he came back to his senses, the way Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Mu Yue changed.

Had it not been for his extremely terrifying ninjutsu skills, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have been able to think of himself as a genjutsu.

But he knew very well that he had not been hit by any ninjutsu just now, and the immersive feeling was entirely an illusion caused by the food being too delicious.

"Muyue, you should change your modesty. This is not just a matter of knowledge, but unparalleled in the world." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed after recalling the indescribable deliciousness just now.

He retracted his preamble, Sarutobi Hiruzen had never tasted such delicacies before, and a dish could actually have such a magical effect.

"Sandaime-sama, you are ridiculous. The ninja world is so big. The term "unparalleled" is too exaggerated." Mu Yue said modestly.

"You, it would be nice if Jiraiya could reconcile with you." Hiruzen Sarutobi showed a helpless smile, and then unconsciously moved his hands to the dishes on another plate.

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have entered the world of gourmet food, and did not bring up any topics other than cooking before finishing the meal.

After eating, Hiruzen Sarutobi remembered his purpose.

"It's good to chat in this environment. If you were in the Hokage's office, there wouldn't even be a place for you, Muyue, to sit." Sarutobi Hiruzen joked.

“Mu Yue, please relax, I’m not discussing any major issues with you. Just treat me as an ordinary elder in the family. Let’s chat casually.”

The expression on Mu Yue's face softened a lot, and she seemed to be moved by Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

“Asma has been practicing quite hard recently and has learned a lot of wind and fire escapes...”

 Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to really just want to chat with Mu Yue about some domestic matters, and talked about Asuma's training.

“That kid Asuma has actually always worked hard. Although Asuma usually seems a bit rebellious and doesn’t respect you, Sandaime-sama, in fact, he always wants your recognition in his heart.”

Mu Yue followed what Sarutobi Hiruzen said and helped them adjust the relationship between father and son.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly. He had been the Hokage for so many years. Couldn't he still see his son's thoughts? But sometimes Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried that Asuma would be complacent and then put himself down. Require.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mu Yue then talked about a lot, ranging from Asuma and the work of the ninja school to the situation on the battlefield and the situation in the ninja world.

“Muyue, which ninja do you think is the most qualified to become the Fourth Hokage?” Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly asked.

Mu Yue is, after all, a ninja born at the root. Although Mu Yue should prefer the life of a ninja school teacher and an ordinary ninja according to Sarutobi Hiruzen's observation, he knows a little about the training that a ninja at the root has undergone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot rule out that Shimura Danzo used this to let Mu Yue support Orochimaru to become Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't worry about this before Mu Yue went to the east coast battlefield, but now Mu Yue has become the second Namikaze Minato. Not only is he powerful, but he also has considerable influence in Konoha.

Coupled with the power of Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru themselves, Hiruzen Sarutobi was worried that continued development would lead to something he did not want to see happen when the Fourth Hokage was elected.

Mu Yue looked thoughtful, as if she was carefully choosing the candidate in her mind.

"I think Lord Orochimaru, Lord Jiraiya, and Lord Tsunade are all qualified to become the fourth generation." Mu Yue seemed to be having trouble making a choice.

In fact, the best answer to this kind of thing is that it is too serious to be evaluated, but Sarutobi Hiruzen had already said that it was a casual chat, so Mu Yue would not be able to politely refuse like this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen almost laughed out loud after listening to Mu Yue's words. He asked which ninja, but Mu Yue said three in one breath, referring to all three of his disciples.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi has achieved his goal. Since Mu Yue has this political wisdom, he should not be deceived by Danzo Shimura into supporting Orochimaru brainlessly.

“Then what qualities do they have that make you think they are qualified to become the fourth generation, Muyue?” Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to ask.

As long as Mu Yue doesn't talk nonsense, Sarutobi Hiruzen can feel a little bit of Mu Yue's specific preference from Mu Yue's mouth.

"Jiraiya-sama is very powerful, he has made great achievements for Konoha on the battlefield, and he is kind..." Mu Yue praised all the three ninjas without changing her expression.

 Mu Yue doesn’t want to get involved in the war of Hokage. Whoever Hiruzen Sarutobi wants to be the leader can be the leader. Mu Yue just wants to get more rewards to increase her strength.

Who becomes the Hokage does not make much difference to Mu Yue, because Mu Yue has a good relationship with them.

Tsunade and Mu Yue are both teachers and friends. Jiraiya sees Mu Yue as an excellent ninja similar to Namikaze Minato. Orochimaru is optimistic about Mu Yue and wants to train him as a confidant. Namikaze Minato is Mu Yue's best friend.

No matter who becomes Hokage, it will not have a negative impact on Mu Yue.

Even if Shimura Danzo becomes Hokage, it will only be beneficial to Mu Yue, because from Shimura Danzo's perspective, Mu Yue is still his capable subordinate.

"They have the advantages you mentioned, but they also have a lot of shortcomings." Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know whether Mu Yue had no bias or was worried about offending others by saying the wrong thing. He didn't feel that Mu Yue would be biased towards someone at all.

Mu Yue did not answer this sentence. As a teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi had nothing wrong with saying it. How could he, a rising star, follow the example of his seniors who had become famous in the ninja world during World War II.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped talking about the Hokage, and instead chatted with Mu Yue about his training, and explained his experience in practicing combined ninjutsu.

"Muyue, if you are free, please take some time to give some advice to Asuma, and this child will recognize you." Sarutobi Hiruzen said before leaving.

“I will go over to test his cultivation results tomorrow.” Mu Yue nodded and replied.

Although there is no reward, Asma can be regarded as half a disciple of Mu Yue. Mu Yue will try his best to teach her when she has time.

But what Mu Yue didn't expect was that not long after Sarutobi Hiruzen left, the root information came.
