Hokage's Office.
"Uncle, why did you call us here?"
Renye had been sunbathing peacefully at home when Tobirama Senju called him over. Shimura Danzō and the others had come along as well.
Everyone looked curiously at Tobirama Senju in the seat of honor, unable to understand what had happened.

"Which of you wants to become Hokage?"
Tobirama Senju looked at the silent group, his gaze eventually landing on Renye, who was yawning.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Why were they all staring at him?!
"Kid, are you willing to become the Third Hokage?" Tobirama Senju coughed lightly.
Renye was recognized by everyone as the best successor
