Just as he was about to scold Konohamaru, Yeyu smiled. "That's right. I do intend to take the Hokage Position for myself. When the time comes, I'll throw you, the Hokage's grandson, to the snakes first."
"You didn't know? My Summoned Beast is a snake—the same kind of Great Snake that attacked Konoha."
Konohamaru had seen the Great Snakes Orochimaru summoned when he attacked Konoha.
He was so startled that he stumbled back several steps, nearly falling into Asuma.

Then he felt a little angry.
He'd practically had to beg Yeyu to become Hokage, and yet his own grandson was saying things like that.

Asuma also held Konohamaru back. "That's enough. Yeyu isn't like that. If he wanted to be Hokage, would he need to take the position by force?"
