Anyo has already foreseen the difficulty. If it were simple, wouldn't Wood Release be full of Earth Flow and Tailed Beast be inferior to a dog in the future?

Experiments have always been a long-term process of failure and a process of accumulating experience step by step. This was true for more than half a year when I followed Orochimaru in research, including studying the Medical System reform with Tsunade.

It seems that there is no chance of eating ready-made food. Anyo guesses that he will have to stay here often to study.

While Anyo was immersed in underground experiments, Konoha had undergone a series of changes.

The first is to announce the death list of Third Shinobi World War Ninja, and build a collective Cemetery for them. Since the identities of Anbu members are kept secret, they are not among them. Almost all Konoha and Ninja go to Cemetery to mourn the dead.

Secondly, Third Hokage announced that due to his leadership mistakes, which caused a large number of Ninja casualties in the village, he would soon be retiring from his position as Hokage, and Konoha would officially hold a Fourth Hokage Election Ceremony meeting.

Finally, some battle details of Third Shinobi World War were exposed. The name Death Poison Valley appeared in the public eye for the first time. Non-combatants were strictly prohibited from approaching. The place name Kikyo Mountain no longer exists. In addition, Iwagakure logistics are important Hideout Kannabi Bridge was bombed, ending the war of Iwagakure Battlefield, making Konoha appear two heroes with Sharingan.

Inside the Uchiha Clan, Fugaku has returned to Clan Grounds. A large number of Uchiha clansman have gathered here, and the scene is extremely lively.

One of them Uchiha clansman shouted loudly, "What two Sharingan heroes, Obito and that Dead Last actually gave Sharingan to an outsider privately, it is unforgivable."

Some people even speculated. "Maybe Kakashi Hatake put this eye on his body secretly."

"Yes, Clan Head, Kakashi Hatake's and Sharingan should be taken back and cannot fall into the hands of outsiders."

As the discussion continued, this statement was agreed by most Uchiha clansman.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Fugaku finally spoke up, "Don't cause trouble. No matter what, Kakashi Hatake is now the hero of the village, not to mention his teacher is still Minato Namikaze. I recognize their character and ability, so Sharingan doesn't need to take it back."

Fugaku knows very well who is standing behind Kakashi, not only Minato Namikaze, but also Anyo exists, Anyo is Konoha White Fang was the only disciple during his lifetime, and Kakashi was the only son of Konoha White Fang. Based on the relationship between these two people, if he dared to take back his eyes, Anyo would dare to come over with a knife tomorrow.

Seeing that this matter has been concluded, some tribesmen, although dissatisfied, did not continue to say more on the matter. Instead, they said, "Clan Head, Third Hokage is about to abdicate. I heard that the next Hokage will be selected from Ninja who performed well in Third Shinobi World War. As the commander-in-chief of Kumogakure Battlefield, you should compete for this position."

"Yes, Clan Head, it's time for our Uchiha Clan to have a Hokage."

"Konoha High Command has always been wary of our clan, otherwise Second Hokage would not have established Anbu to monitor us. Our development resources have always been limited, and no one has the opportunity to enter the core management of Konoha. This time is an excellent opportunity."

Fugaku, as Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan, seeks the opportunity to change Uchiha Clan's predicament from the bottom of his heart. Now this opportunity is placed in front of him. To be honest, he is moved.

In his heart, the person who has the ability to compete for Hokage is Konoha Sannin. But of these three people, Orochimaru defected, Tsunade ran away, and Jiraiya has a casual personality. Other than that, who else could I choose?

"Okay, then let's fight." Fugaku made up his mind in front of his tribe.

Compared with the fluctuations of the Uchiha Clan, Minato is very calm. He only wants to share this news with one person, that is Kushina who had the same dream when he was young.

When she arrived at home, Kushina was cooking. When she heard the movement behind her, she turned around and asked, "Why are you standing there stupidly? Why did Mr. Third Hokage ask you to come over?"

"Uh..." Minato hasn't figured out how to speak.

Kushina then joked, "Did I give you a harsh scolding? It's okay. Don't take it to heart."

"No, not this."

"What is that?" Kushina was a little curious.

Minato pointed at himself and said, "Well, he asked me to be Fourth Hokage."

Kushina said casually, "That's it, Hokage or whatever, it's no big deal..."

Speaking of the latter part, Kushina suddenly reacted and said in shock, "What did you just say?"

Minato nodded affirmatively and said, "I have been appointed to take over as Fourth Hokage."

Kushina hugged Minato in surprise and said, "Ahhhh... congratulations."

Minato's eyes were full of tenderness. "Thank you."

The election meeting has not yet been held, and there are already many rumors in the village. Among the several candidates, Minato Namikaze and Uchiha Fugaku are undoubtedly the most popular candidates.

In the past few days, Fugaku visited Konoha High Command almost every time. Unfortunately, they were all old foxes who kept their mouths tight and did not get any useful information. This made him feel unsure.

Although Konoha Sannin lost his competitiveness, one student remained. Minato Namikaze's performance in Third Shinobi World War was obvious to all, which put a lot of pressure on Fugaku.

Mikoto looked at him frowning all day and asked, "What's going on recently?"

"My tribe wanted me to run for Hokage. I originally thought I had great hope, but running around these days has made me a little uneasy." Fugaku expressed his inner worries. "Uchiha Clan has been under control in the village for a long time. The end of Third Shinobi World War this time is an excellent opportunity. I must seize this opportunity."

Mikoto knew Uchiha Clan's situation in the village very well. Hearing this, he sighed and said, "Can't we just not fight?"

"No." Fugaku stood up and thought carefully about who else he could win over. Suddenly, he focused his eyes on Mikoto, and his eyes lit up.

Mikoto was a little overwhelmed by what he saw. Just when he was about to speak, Fugaku said first, "Yeah, why did I forget about him? With his support, I have a great chance of becoming Hokage this time."

"Who?"

"Your good brother, Itachi's Godfather, Anyo." Fugaku said excitedly, "I also found out because of an accident that after he returned to the village this time, he actually assumed the position of Anbu Chief. This position has always been Only people who have a close relationship with Hokage can take the role. It just so happens that he is also a Uchiha Clan person and should support me in becoming Hokage. Mikoto, you go find him and tell him my thoughts."

Mikoto's face was full of embarrassment, and she didn't know how to speak to Anyo.

Fugaku pressed on Mikoto's shoulder and said seriously, "Mikoto, you should know that Uchiha Clan is in Konoha's The situation, as Clan Head, I must change this. This is the best opportunity. As long as I become Hokage, Uchiha Clan will definitely become more powerful in the future."

After repeated persuasion by Fugaku, Mikoto sighed secretly and agreed, "Okay, I understand."
