Inohi: Hiruzen Sarutobi, Go F*** Yourself!

After Tobirama Senju was laid to rest, the election of the Third Hokage was immediately placed on the agenda. The Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan joined forces to invite the various major clans of Konoha to hold a meeting to discuss the matter.

The Senju Clan naturally received an invitation as well. They had no choice but to attend; if they dared to stay away, Uchiha Nan would have likely declared himself the Third Hokage of Konoha the very next day, and with a unanimous vote at that.

In the meeting room, the heads of every clan arrived on time, some accompanied by a few high-ranking members of their respective families. Before long, the room was packed.

"Since the Second Hokage has been laid to rest, Konoha cannot be left without a leader. Now is the time to select the Third Hokage to lead Konoha forward."

As soon as Hyuga Takuma finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in the room turned toward Mito Uzumaki.

"Before Tobirama fell in battle, he had already selected a candidate for the Third Hokage of Konoha."

When Mito Uzumaki finished speaking, no one present looked surprised. This news had already been spread throughout Konoha by Uchiha Nan.

"That person is Hiruzen Sarutobi."

The meeting room fell into silence. As for the news of the succession being passed to Hiruzen Sarutobi, the various clan heads had always treated it as a joke; no one took it seriously.

They hadn't expected Mito Uzumaki to actually say it out loud in the meeting room. It would have been better if she had said the position was passed to Senju Touma; regardless of whether it was true or false, at least most people would acknowledge that Senju Touma was qualified to become Hokage.

As for Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Don't make me laugh!

"Mito-sama, isn't Hiruzen Sarutobi a bit unsuitable? Is he really capable of serving as Konoha's Hokage?"

Hyuga Takuma frowned as he voiced his opinion, his tone relatively tactful, as he did not want to embarrass Mito Uzumaki in public.

"I agree with the Hyuga Clan Head's view!"

"I agree!"

"..."

Hyuga Takuma's words instantly resonated with the room. Voices of opposition rose up, creating a lopsided situation.

"Quiet, everyone, quiet!"

Mito Uzumaki frowned, stopping the arguing in the meeting room, and then spoke in a calm, unhurried manner:

"Regardless of anything else, this is the Third Hokage chosen by Tobirama. Why not let Hiruzen Sarutobi step forward? At the very least, give him a chance to speak."

Mito Uzumaki gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a subtle look. The stage is set for you; it's time for you to step up and perform.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, sitting beside Sarutobi Sasuke, felt his eyes light up. It was time to shine!

He had rehearsed this scene in his mind countless times, and he had long since prepared his speech.

Recently, he had been constantly thinking about Konoha's future—if he became Hokage, how he would restore Konoha's strength and how he would balance the relationships between the ninja villages.

Of course, the most important thing was Konoha's Will of Fire. Where the leaves of Konoha dance, fire shall never die!

This was the Will of Fire he had grasped from Tobirama Senju's heroic act of self-sacrifice.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was determined to use a speech filled with the Will of Fire to turn the current situation around and make everyone present willing to give him a chance.

Right now, I will turn the tide!

Hiruzen Sarutobi cheered himself on in his heart, walking step by step to the center of the meeting room, ready to deliver his speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Konoha's future..."

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke passionately on the platform.

However, Uchiha Nan had no time to listen to Hiruzen Sarutobi spout grand principles. Every clan head present was a realist; things like the Will of Fire were fine to listen to, but no one actually treated them as treasures.

Uchiha Nan gave a look to Uchiha Inohi, who was sitting beside him.

Inohi, it's time to unleash the skills you used to roast me!

"Get some spirit, don't embarrass yourself!"

"You're someone who crawled out of the battlefield!"

Uchiha Nan encouraged Uchiha Inohi, and Uchiha Inohi gave Uchiha Nan a reassuring look.

A mere Hiruzen Sarutobi?

He dares to talk nonsense here?

"Damn it!"

"Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

"Go f*** yourself!"

"You, a piece of trash from a small clan who ran away from the battlefield, what right do you have to spout nonsense here!!"

"You want to be Hokage?"

"I'm telling you, no way!!"

Uchiha Inohi jumped out, walked up to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and began his verbal assault, catching Hiruzen Sarutobi completely off guard.

"Hahahaha!!!"

Uchiha Nan began to laugh, laughing unreservedly. Uchiha Inohi, you son of a b***, you really are a talent.*

I'll reward you with two jin of Sweet Potato Shochu later.

He learned that so vividly; he picked it up after I taught him just once.

Uchiha Nan's arrogant laughter echoed throughout the room, and the heads of the various clans began to laugh along with him.

No one was listening to what Hiruzen Sarutobi was saying; they were only giving Mito Uzumaki a bit of face.

Everyone present knew exactly what was going on. Right now, the only ones in Konoha with a chance to touch the Hokage Position were the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan.

Everyone had been waiting for the Uchiha to show their stance. Now that the Uchiha's attitude was so obvious, there was naturally no need for anyone to keep up the charade, and they could laugh to their hearts' content.

What right did Hiruzen Sarutobi have to talk about Konoha's future!

Sounds of mockery and ridicule rose one after another, causing Hiruzen Sarutobi's face to flush red. He was at a loss for what to do; it was the first time he had ever been so humiliated in front of so many people.

Not to mention that everyone present were heads of Konoha's ninja clans, and every one of them held a higher status than him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi now wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He glared at Uchiha Inohi with hatred; if looks could kill, Uchiha Inohi would have been torn to pieces long ago.

As expected, the Uchiha are evil by nature!

The teacher was right; such an evil clan should never have appeared in Konoha!

Hiruzen Sarutobi swore in his heart that he would definitely teach the Uchiha a lesson in the future.

Mito Uzumaki frowned, feeling deeply disappointed in Hiruzen Sarutobi. He can't even handle this little bit of difficulty?

The Uchiha haven't even started using their real strength yet!

"I, the Uchiha Clan Head, have always taken the protection of Konoha as my duty, and I believe I am more suitable for the position of the Third Hokage!"

"However, Hiruzen Sarutobi, since Tobirama designated you to become Konoha's Third Hokage, it means you must have some extraordinary qualities!"

"I can give you a chance. Defeat me, and I can represent the Uchiha Clan in honoring you as the Third Hokage!"

Uchiha Nan stood up, directly revealing his ambition.

The laughter in the meeting room came to an abrupt halt. The main player had finally appeared; the grand drama of competing for the Third Hokage had begun.

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head to look at Mito Uzumaki, expecting her to save the situation. At the time, Mito Uzumaki had personally promised that she would be responsible for dealing with the Uchiha.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi was destined to be disappointed. In Mito Uzumaki's heart, he was now nothing more than a pawn used to test the strength of Uchiha Nan.

Mito Uzumaki didn't even look at Hiruzen Sarutobi directly, instead saying coldly:

"Hiruzen, accept his challenge!"

"If you want to become Hokage, you must have the corresponding strength!"
