Shimura Danzō Uchiha Kō's home, and the two sat on the floor.
Uchiha Kō poured Shimura Danzō a cup of tea, Shimura Danzō said, "Thank you."
Uchiha Kō shook his head. "It's nothing. But what Danzo- sama mentioned before, the Hokage matter..."
Shimura Danzō the tea, sipped it, and then slowly said, "Tomorrow, as arranged by the master, Hiruzen step down in public, and you will take over the position of Fourth Hokage."
Uchiha Kō's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected Senju Tobirama to act so quickly. He had defeated Senju Hashirama one step before being made Hokage the next.
Everyone here is intelligent and knows what the other's purpose is, so Uchiha Kō only lost his composure briefly before returning to normal, as expected.
Meanwhile, Shimura Danzō thought to himself, "As expected of the 'Owl King,' he was granted the highest leadership position in Konoha and yet remained completely unfazed. If it were him, he wouldn't have been so indifferent."
"Danzo, what are your thoughts on this? I'm somewhat apprehensive, afraid I'm not up to the task," Uchiha Kō sighed.
Shimura Danzō aback. He looked at Uchiha Kō with a complicated expression. If Uchiha Kō wasn't qualified for the Hokage Position, then who was?
"I, Danzo, am willing to accept this important task from anyone but you, Lord Xiaojun. Please do not refuse," Danzo urged again.
Uchiha Kō hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "No, no, I am too young to command respect. Please, Danzo, do not speak of this matter again!"
After saying this, Uchiha Kō prepared to leave, but Danzo became anxious. "Owl-kun, please, for the sake of Konoha's prosperity and development, inherit the Hokage Position Konoha. If anyone dares to speak ill of you, I will surely clean up your mess!" As he said this, Danzo's eyes reddened, and he gritted his teeth. This was the third time he had tried to persuade Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō hesitated for a moment, then said, "Very well, Danzo, I accept the Hokage Position. I ask that you supervise and encourage me on behalf of the entire village. If there is anything I do that is not up to par, please correct Danzo!"
Shimura Danzō and clasped his hands in greeting, "Yes!" He was moved by Uchiha Kō's sincerity, unaware that it was all a deliberate act by Uchiha Kō.
His three refusals and three concessions made it seem as if Uchiha Kō wasn't so opportunistic, but rather that he inherited the Hokage Position for the greater good, giving the villagers the impression that Uchiha Kō was wholeheartedly devoted to the people and thus took on this heavy responsibility.
Shimura Danzō was completely outmaneuvered by Uchiha Kō. Originally, he had designs on the Hokage Position, but when Senju Tobirama was resurrected and designated Uchiha Kō as the Fourth Hokage, Danzo felt that it was the right thing to do.
But he still felt a little regretful. After experiencing this three-time refusal, he had no more doubts and only wanted to wholeheartedly assist and support Uchiha Kō.
Such humility and pragmatism from Uchiha Kō give one the feeling of a wise leader!
The two chatted happily, while Uchiha Hirotomo organized a meeting for his clansmen. The gatekeeper had reported that Uchiha Kō was about to become Hokage, and the entire Uchiha Clan was extremely excited.
Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna also returned to the stage. Uchiha Hirotomo stood up to offer them seats, but Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna smiled and declined, saying that they were just supporting characters today and there was no need for them to sit in the main seats.
Seeing the two great gods in this state, Uchiha Hirotomo stopped trying to persuade them and sat in the main seat without saying a word. The Uchiha clan members also had no objections.
They were all waiting tonight, waiting for Shimura Danzo to leave, waiting for the arrival of the Fourth Hokage Shimura Danzō, Uchiha Kō. After nearly 40 years, the Hokage Position was finally going to their Uchiha Clan!
About two hours later, Uchiha Kō went out to personally see Shimura Danzō off, and then a clansman came to report.
"Reporting to the Sixth Elder, the Clan Chief has been waiting in the conference room for a long time." The Uchiha member bowed.
"Okay, I understand." With that, Uchiha Kō smiled and followed his clansmen to the meeting room.
"This is it." The clansman pointed to the tightly closed door of the conference room, then withdrew. Given his strength and status, he was not allowed to enter the conference room.
"Thank you for your hard work," Uchiha Kō said with a smile, then opened the conference room door.
The Uchiha members knelt on the ground, their eyes, which had been closed, opened wide, and a group of Red Eye looked towards the doorway.
Uchiha Kō was already used to this scene. He slowly walked into the conference room and headed towards the front step by step.
Uchiha Hirotomo stood up and hurriedly said, "Lord Owl, quick, sit here!" Uchiha Hirotomo pointed to his seat with a big smile on his face.
Uchiha Kō nodded. Everyone in the clan knew each other, and he didn't need to pretend like he did in front of Shimura Danzō. He sat down in the position of the Uchiha Clan leader without hesitation.
Uchiha Hirotomo smiled and sat in the second seat without showing any dissatisfaction.
Uchiha Kō glanced around, then slowly said, "As you've probably heard, tomorrow I will assume the position of Fourth Hokage."
The crowd nodded, their eyes filled with fervor. This was the first Hokage of their Uchiha Clan!
"Yes, we are willing to serve the Lord Hokage to the death!" The voices of the Uchiha clan members were unified and powerful.
Uchiha Kō waved his hand. "What I want to talk about is not just that, but also some rules." After saying that, Uchiha Kō's eyes darkened.
"Although I am about to succeed as the Fourth Hokage, the Uchiha Clan members must remember to be even more strict with themselves and serve the villagers. If I discover anyone abusing the Hokage's name to commit crimes, don't blame me for showing no Uchiha Kō!" Upon hearing this, the Uchiha ninjas replied in unison, "Yes!"
Uchiha Kō nodded, then gave a speech within the clan, starting as a member of the Uchiha Clan and becoming a descendant of the Hokage...
This made everyone excited, their eyes shining brighter and brighter. They agreed to all of Uchiha Kō 'Uchiha Kō requests and obeyed all of his words.
Uchiha Hirotomo laughed at this moment, looking at Uchiha Kō on the stage. At first, the Uchiha Clan was ostracized and slandered, but because of Owl, the situation gradually turned around and they were integrated into the village.
But that's not enough. Now that Uchiha Kō is about to become the Fourth Hokage, it means that the Uchiha Clan will become the Hokage lineage from now on, playing a pivotal role in the history of Konoha. No one can use the rebellion against them anymore!
Uchiha looked at Uchiha Kō at the clan meeting and a smile crept onto his face. His eldest grandson had actually become Hokage, and it was all arranged by Senju Tobirama.
"Heh, Senju Tobirama did have some good taste." Uchiha Izuna raised his head and sneered, his eyes full of pride for his grandson.
"Alright, stop being so smug. Izuna, how about we grab something to eat tonight?" Uchiha said gently.
"Okay~" Uchiha Izuna, who had been so proud just moments before, now acted like a sweet little baby, pouting and acting cute.
Uchiha smiled and patted Izuna's head, while Uchiha Izuna foolishly.
