From a certain perspective, it is very difficult for Chen to become Hokage.
Unlike Third Hokage back then, Sarutobi Hiruzen's biggest obstacle to becoming Hokage was the lack of prestige and military exploits.
Even with the designation of Second Hokage, it took Sarutobi Hiruzen several years to take the position of Hokage.
Chen had made great achievements in Second Great Ninja War, second only to Sannin and White Fang. At that time, he was only eleven or twelve years old.
Third Great Ninja War, he even traveled to four war zones. In addition to fighting Hidden Cloud Village head-on, he fought in every other village.
Worthy of being the first in battle!
But if you want to become Hokage, you don't have to have sufficient strength and prestige. Although there is a Jonin voting system, in the final analysis, it still depends on Third Hokage's will.
If he chooses Sannin, as the next generation Chen, it is impossible to become Fourth Mizukage.
After all, two of Sannin are Chen's teachers, and he himself is still young, so it is not an exaggeration to consider him as a candidate for the fifth generation.
But things are so fucked up, no one from Sannin is willing to inherit Fourth Mizukage's position.
Tsunade Needless to say, after Konoha Crush Plan ended, he left the village again.
Doesn't she know that Konoha has come to a leadership change?
It's just that Tsunade doesn't care at all.
Hokage... Is it strange?
My grandfather and Second Grandfather are both Hokage, and my teacher is also Hokage...
As Konoha, the two major village-building families, Tsunade really regards Hokage as nothing. This kind of tolerance is a real family heritage!
Compared with the Uchiha Clan, who wants to make all Shinobi World clamor after getting the Hokage position, Tsunade is just unfazed, while Uchiha Clan has a complete nouveau riche mentality.
The difference between the two is not even a little bit!
As for Chen's origin, Uchiha Clan... If it were another Uchiha Clan, Tsunade might have a grudge, but since he is his disciple... then it would be fine.
Tsunade feels that even if she embezzles public funds in the future, no one can control her!
In the past, Third Hokage could take care of it, so he was a teacher after all, but Tsunade suddenly transformed into the teacher of Fourth Mizukage... How can a village support one person with such a gorgeous rise in status?
Tsunade felt secretly happy that it was too late, how could he object.
As for Jiraiya...
He did say that he wanted to be Hokage when he was a child, but that was more to attract Tsunade's attention.
Unfortunately, Tsunade regards Hokage as nothing.
All I can say is that even if you want to be a licker, you must investigate the girl's growing environment in advance. You cannot think about the thoughts of a Senju princess with a country mentality!
This is equivalent to telling the daughter of the richest man that I will make a lot of money in the future... In the eyes of girls, is money very important?
Therefore, Jiraiya clearly rejected Third Hokage. He knew that he was not the material for Hokage.
In fact, Jiraiya wants his disciple Minato to be Hokage.
But he found that Minato's military exploits were a little hard to show off, so forget it... Let Minato be High Advisor, who is still the second in command of the village.
Tsunade and Jiraiya are both extremely pure people, but Uncle Snake in Sannin is different.
Orochimaru really wants to be Hokage, and he also has the ability, prestige and skills.
However, this is equivalent to choosing between dream and reality, whether to choose the position of Hokage or choose the scientific research that you love most in your heart.
You know, becoming Hokage means you don't have time to do research.
But then again, after seeing the various powers of Mangekyo Sharingan, Uncle Snake realized the vastness of Shinobi World and the infinity of time and space...
Human beings are nothing, Hokage, and power are nothing, they are just ants and dust.
Therefore, after a certain conversation with Chen, Orochimaru decided to give up the position of Hokage and instead support his disciples. Then he took the position of Root, conducted comprehensive research, and developed Rinnegan as soon as possible!
Third Hokage is also very helpless.
My three disciples are all unwilling to become Hokage due to various reasons...
Of course, there is a better choice at hand, and that is Chen.
Third Hokage does not have the extremely extreme ideas of Danzo towards the Uchiha Clan. After all, his teammates are mirrors.
However, it is impossible to say that he is really willing to hand over the position of Hokage to the Uchiha Clan.
If Danzo was still in the village, with his qualifications and influence over Third Hokage, it would be much more difficult for Chen to take over if he just blew the wind.
But the problem is that Danzo became Rogue Ninja.
Qiu Yu member Homura Mitokado also went after Danzo.
Is the relationship between Homura Mitokado and Danzo really that good?
Of course not.
But when Danzo became Rogue Ninja, and Third Hokage also defaulted to Danzo to leave safely, no one could stop Chen from becoming Fourth Hokage.
Danzo has been transplanted into Sharingan and has mirror eyes. This is a do-or-die situation.
If Third Hokage wants to protect his gay friends, he must come up with enough things to reach a settlement with the Uchiha Clan.
This settlement is the position of Hokage.
Chen became Fourth Mizukage because of Sannin, because of Chen's personal strength, and because of his military exploits, but also because of the exchange between the two parties!
It's just that it's impossible to say something like this. Third Hokage asking Chen to stop here that day was already the most obscure request.
Under this situation, no one can stop Chen from becoming Fourth Mizukage, especially since he invaded Hidden Cloud Village, and his reputation has completely surpassed Third Hokage!
After Chen becomes Hokage, he will inevitably gather power. As a former "political enemy", Homura Mitokado will definitely be marginalized.
He is just humiliating himself by staying. It would be better to leave graciously, which would look better on both sides.
So, in July of Konoha Year 41, Chen successfully became Fourth Hokage.
This succession ceremony was held with great grandeur in the village.
In the past half year or so, Konoha has experienced many turmoils, and a grand ceremony is indeed needed to alleviate everyone's sense of crisis.
The appointment ceremony went smoothly overall. There was no Hokage Robe wearing a patch like Kakashi, nor did Naruto miss his appointment ceremony directly.
After the ceremony, Chen directly entered Hokage Building.
The first order he issued was to appoint Third Hokage as High Advisor, the village elder.
Third Hokage actually took the position of Danzo. As for Homura Mitokado, Chen did not choose to play until the end.
This bit of face still needs to be given.
But he will undoubtedly be "relegated to the background."
High Advisor, from now on, can only be High Advisor. At most, it can provide some help in terms of experience, but it will not be like the Third Hokage period, where he has all the power.
Of course, Utatane Koharu's power must still be retained. After all, she is a staunch "Follow the Dragon Party".
Until Himeji becomes a qualified successor and takes her place.
