Chapter 583： The choice of the position of Hokage

Chapter 583 The choice of the position of Hokage

The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.

In order to pay homage to the heroes who died on the battlefield, Konoha held a memorial ceremony.

Except for the ninja who was responsible for security and security that day, all other ninjas were forced to be present.

Generally speaking, such a large-scale memorial event will only be held after the war is won. However, considering that this victory is large enough, and many ninjas have indeed been sacrificed before, no ninja feels it is unreasonable.

A large number of ninjas stood solemnly under the huge commemorative monument. The sky was filled with gloomy dark clouds. Both people and the sky were full of sadness.

In such an atmosphere, even Obito would find it difficult to show an improper expression.

“It turns out that the war has caused the death of so many people.”

Looking at the densely packed names on the memorial tablet, Obito felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

"They are the backbone of the Fire Country and the pride of Konoha..." Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was standing in front of everyone, began to read the eulogy with a serious face.

Mu Yue below quickly used identification to check every ninja present.

Most of the ninjas who did not come belonged to the special department and had been checked by Mu Yue in advance. He only needed to identify all the people at the memorial event to complete the identification of all Konoha ninjas.

Although Shiro is definitely not an Iwagakure spy, Shiro Zetsu does have a motive for lurking in Konoha.

It would be a good thing if we could easily identify the White Zetsu among the ninjas.

【Name: Tsunade】

【Chakra: 186000 (??)】

【Potential: SS-(Basic Talent + Six Bloodlines)】

[Skills: Change in the nature of Yang attribute Chakra (Mastery: 5500/15000), Change in the nature of Water attribute Chakra (Mastery: 2600), Change in the nature of Fire attribute Chakra (Mastery: 1500), Change in the nature of Earth attribute Chakra (Mastery: 1500) level), changes in the nature of thunder attribute chakra (proficient level), Palm Immortal Technique (proficient level)...]

By the way, Mu Yue took another look at Tsunade's panel and felt that there was still room for improvement in the appraisal technique.

Whether it is the Yin Seal or the tailed beast sealed in the body, the identification technique cannot see the specific chakra. It can only be detected by the other party using it.

As for potential, compared to Tsunade's strength, it can be said that it is puffy and fat brought by the classic bloodline.

Mu Yue has only seen four SS-level ninjas so far, namely Shisui, Tsunade, Kushina, and Naruto. All of them have the blessing of six bloodlines, among which Kushina and Naruto have the blessing of tailed beasts.

The one with the highest potential among the four is Naruto, who is SS+, followed by Kushina, who is SS, and Shisui and Tsunade are both SS-.

“If she is willing to practice for more time, she should be much stronger.” Mu Yue thought in her heart.

Although potential is not the same as talent, high potential does not mean that you will be very strong in the future, but it is still relevant after all.

If Tsunade doesn't mess up and practices diligently, Mu Yue estimates that there is still a lot of room for improvement in Tsunade's strength.

But Mu Yue thinks it’s unlikely that Tsunade is diligent.

Because everything Tsunade has now allows her to live a nourishing life without having to think too much. Coupled with the various changes she has experienced, it is difficult to regain her will to become stronger.

To use the Xianxia terminology, it means that the Taoist heart is broken.

“Wherever the leaves of wood are flying, fire is also growing. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout. Let us observe three minutes of silence for these heroes who use their lives to practice the will of fire.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen concluded his eulogy with his own summary of the will of fire and began the moment of silence.

Since most of the ninjas in the village had to participate, in order not to hinder the normal operation of Konoha, all aspects of the memorial ceremony were short and ended quickly.

Ninjas who have a mission return to their posts, and ninjas who have nothing to do decide to act according to their mood.

As for Mu Yue, he naturally belonged to the group with a mission. He followed Sarutobi Hiruzen to the Hokage's office.

“There is no trace of the Iwagakure spy.” Mu Yueru reported.

Among the mourning crowd, he indeed did not identify Bai Jue.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly without changing his expression, feeling relieved.

The best thing about Konoha's failure to detect Iwagakure spies is that it could mean one thing. Perhaps those Iwagakure spies are more difficult to create than they thought.

“Mu Yue, look at these plans for teaching knowledge and sex, which one do you prefer.” Sarutobi Hiruzen handed Mu Yue a scroll.

Mu Yue took it and looked at it calmly.

The first one is to upgrade Mu Yue's official position in the Anbu from a special unit captain to a special captain, set up a training team, and select ninjas to teach them.

Second, as before, Hiruzen Sarutobi will take the lead in organizing a training event and designate some qualified ninjas to participate.

“Captain of the Dark Force...” Mu Yue looked thoughtful.

Option 1 is of a rewarding nature, there is no doubt about this.

The ANBU captain is not a small position. When Shimura Danzo found an excuse to form the root unit, there was only one detachment.

Of course, the current base is obviously far beyond the strength of a detachment.

The second option is more trouble-free. Mu Yue only needs to teach and does not need to think too much.

"The training team belongs to the ANBU special organization. Although it is an ANBU captain, it only takes orders from the Hokage and does not accept the jurisdiction of the ANBU captain and deputy captain." Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded.

“As for the recruitment of team members, you can decide on your own. You only need to submit the final list to me for review. If necessary, I can also help you recruit outstanding ninjas from other departments.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen then stopped talking and continued to look at Mu Yue. Instead, he took advantage of this free time to read the documents on the table.

"What does Hiruzen Sarutobi want to do?" Mu Yue was a little surprised when she heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

According to Sarutobi Hiruzen, this is almost like creating another ANBU within the ANBU, and Mu Yue is also the leader of another ANBU.

If Mu Yue had an idea like Shimura Danzo, he could soon develop another existence similar to the root with the help of ANBU resources.

It will even develop faster than the original roots, because Muyue has a captain-level establishment.

“He doesn’t want me to be the Hokage or the next Hokage’s deputy, right?” Mu Yue’s mind was spinning rapidly.

Anbu has always been a department directly commanded by the Hokage. Danzo Shimura was able to develop the base smoothly because of his status as the Hokage's assistant.

 It is difficult for Mu Yue not to think too much about Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan.

Because it is not surprising at all that Sarutobi Hiruzen has this motive.

 Tsunade is the most suitable candidate to become Hokage. Regardless of identity, strength or merit, no one can question Tsunade's becoming Hokage.

But Tsunade made her decision, now she doesn't even want to be a ninja, let alone Hokage.

Jiraiya is also Sarutobi Hiruzen's top choice, but Jiraiya also doesn't want to be Hokage, and he has suffered a defeat recently.

Orochimaru, who has become cold-blooded and perverted to a certain extent, has lost the qualification to become Hokage in the heart of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

All the three Fire Shadow candidates are not good, and now Muyue is even better than Minato, and has a relationship with Sarutobi Hiruzen in learning ninjutsu.

In this case, Mu Yue felt that it was quite possible that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted him to be the Hokage.

As for the deputy Hokage, the reason is even simpler. Mu Yue has excellent abilities and a good personality. She can be used to train her to be the next deputy, and there will be no faults at all.

"Sandaime-sama, I choose the first one." Mu Yue thought for a while and replied.

Whether it is the Hokage or the Hokage's assistant, Mu Yue has no interest.

However, this special formation of the dark force captain level is indeed of some use to him.

If he wants to improve his proficiency in any skills in the future, he can organize ninja training on his own.

“But I don’t think there is any need to replenish the team members. During the war, manpower is tight, and there is no way to waste the available combat power here. I can complete all the teaching work by myself.” Mu Yue continued.

He doesn’t want to create a second root, which will only make his problems more.

Mu Yue’s idea is that if Hiruzen Sarutobi has a mission, he should teach him. When he has nothing to do, he will organize training activities based on his own needs.

Although this will turn him, the dark force captain, into a polished commander, it can also make Mu Yue more leisurely.

After all, if Mu Yue really wanted to become a serious dark force captain, how could Mu Yue find the time to teach her disciples, lead them to complete tasks, and go to the battlefield to gain reputation.

"If you think this is okay, then so be it." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said.

Since he told Mu Yue to make her own decision, it was of course impossible for him to go back on his word.

And Mu Yue does have the strength to say this. Previously, Mu Yue trained hundreds of ninjas by herself without any problems.

After everything was explained, Mu Yue left the Hokage Building and went to the Southern Forest to teach his disciples.

"Mu Yue, are you a good choice?" Looking at Mu Yue's leaving back, Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into deep thought.

Now Hiruzen Sarutobi is a little confused about the choice of Hokage. This is something he had not thought of before.

He has three disciples, one of whom is the eldest granddaughter of the Shodaime, another who has been a genius ninja since he was a child, and another who was a low-level student when he was a child, but he is no worse than anyone else.

With three disciples like these, how could Hiruzen Sarutobi ever think that one day he would be troubled by having no one succeed him?

"Let's keep a closer look." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought in his mind.

Among the ninjas of the generation of Jiraiya and Orochimaru, only the three ninjas are qualified to become Hokage. After that, they are Mugetsu and Namikaze Minato.

Only ninjas with extraordinary strength and reputation like them can break the age limit to a certain extent.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen had not decided who to choose. The position of Hokage was too important to Konoha and he could not make a hasty decision.

“Perhaps in a few years their minds will change.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen still hopes that Tsunade and Jiraiya can stand up. Mu Yue and Namikaze Minato are too young.

An hour later, a ninja dressed as an ANBU knocked on the door and walked into the Hokage's office.

"Sandaime-sama, the information you requested has been compiled." The ANBU held the seal scroll in both hands and handed it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took it and checked it for a while, then handed it over to the ANBU again, "Go and give it to Mu Yue."

Anbu nodded, left the Hokage's office, closed the door, and quickly headed to Muyue's home in the main city.

"It would be great if you could really develop the Wood Release." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed after putting the pipe into his mouth and blowing out wisps of white smoke.

Since Mu Yue can develop the Wood Release, Sarutobi Hiruzen really doesn’t have to choose anymore. He will directly accept Mu Yue as his disciple and let Mu Yue continue to earn military merits and develop the ANBU. When the time comes, he will abdicate to Mu Yue.

There is nothing left to pick. Judging from Mu Yue's performance, Mu Dun has been practicing for several years, and he is at least a little ninja god.

But it was Wood Release after all. Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that the probability of Mu Yue developing Wood Release was about the same as the probability of Jiraiya changing his mind.

…

Night.

Mu Yue received a message from Danzo Shimura, so she quietly went to the root base.

“Muyue, how did Hiruzen arrange for you to teach me about sex?” Danzo Shimura couldn’t wait to ask.

Originally, this should be a matter that should be discussed and decided at a high-level meeting.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen refused on the grounds that he wanted to take care of Mu Yue's feelings, saying that he would discuss it with Mu Yue alone.

Considering that Mu Yue had just won a great victory and neither of the two advisers objected, then Shimura Danzo's opinion was naturally not important.

But this was not a problem for Shimura Danzo. Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything, he would just ask Muyue himself.

"The Sandaime made me the captain of the special ANBU organization..." Mu Yue selectively told Shimura the content of Danzo's discussion.

Becoming the ANBU captain cannot be hidden from Shimura Danzo. The roots are too close to the ANBU, and Shimura Danzo is also a high-ranking official in Konoha.

“He is quite generous to you.” Danzo Shimura was annoyed when he heard that Mu Yue had been assigned to the special ANBU captaincy.

It’s not the annoyed Mu Yue, it’s the annoyed Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At first, he had been trying hard to get a detachment from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

“If you catch such an Iwagakure spy again in the future, you must obtain the other person’s body tissue immediately.” Shimura Danzo warned.

There is Mu Yue in Konoha who can sense malice. Other ninjas such as Shimura Danzo have never heard of such a method. The transformation technique that can disguise chakra is too difficult to see through.

Mu Yue nodded.

He will not point it out if there is a problem in the future, he will just handle it quietly by himself.

Just as Muyue walked out of Shimura Danzo's office, a root ninja happened to walk towards him.

“Lord Muyue.” The root ninja lowered his head slightly and greeted Muyue.

Mu Yue smiled in response, and then moved on.

“Danzo-sama, Orochimaru-sama’s reply is here!”

The root ninja quickly closed the door after entering the office and reported.

Shimura Danzo didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but when he saw the reply, a surprised expression quickly appeared on his face.

“That Nagato was actually Jiraiya’s disciple before!”

Danzo Shimura contacted Orochimaru with the attitude of giving it a try. After all, Orochimaru was not busy at the moment, so he did not expect to get important information from Orochimaru that he did not know.

He really didn't know that the boy with the Rinnegan Eye, Nagato-kai, who was now considered the number one genius in the ninja world, had a master-disciple relationship with Jiraiya.

"Is it possible to use Jiraiya's relationship..." Danzo Shimura fell into thinking.

He wants the skills of the Iwagakure spy, and he wants the Rinnegan Eye and the Ninja Sect inheritance even more.

ˆ PS: I still overestimate my status a bit.
