I have a bunch of relatives who want to be Hokage

Of course, no one bothered Uchiha Shingen about this.

Everyone knew that Uchiha Shingen wanted to retire.

It is a consensus in the workplace not to offend your boss by being mean-mouthed.

As family members, Sakurako and Yegura have tried their best to hope that Uchiha Shingen will give up taking this idea for granted. They can't understand why Uchiha Shingen is so stubborn on this matter.

It really hit the wall and then hit another place.

There seems to be nothing wrong with becoming Hokage, at least in the eyes of the two people who are insecure because of their past. Uchiha Shingen becoming Hokage means that he himself will be safer and the family will be more worry-free.

The Third Hokage is still very energetic.

While Uchiha Shingen was taking a shower, Sakurako put away the old clothes he took off and planned to wash them tomorrow.

When Uchiha Shingen came out wearing a black yukata, Sakurako was already waiting for him on the sofa and made him a pot of hot tea.

This is Uchiha Shingen's habit.

He just loves to drink tea, no matter morning or evening.

He could not sleep after drinking tea at night, but he was not affected at all.

"By the way, you haven't gone to the hospital for a physical checkup this year, right?" Sakurako asked.

"No, what's wrong?" Uchiha Shingen asked.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with him. To be honest, most of the medical ninjas in the hospital were not necessarily as good as him.

"You must go to the things you pushed out yourself. This is what Uncle Fugaku asked me to tell you."

"I know." Uchiha Shingen thought about it and understood the reason.

After the physical examination policy was introduced, the jounin welcomed it, but the middle and lower level ninjas generally did not take it seriously.

But this is a benefit provided by the village to everyone, especially the middle and lower level ninjas. Most of the hidden injuries are accumulated at this stage.

"I will go. When Sunagakure and Amegakure are done with their work, I will mobilize the ANBU people to go with them."

The Anbu unit is very popular among the middle and lower-level ninja groups, because in everyone's eyes, the Anbu is the entity of the Will of Fire.

If the ANBU has done it, the leading effect will be very good.

"Is there anyone else coming today?" Uchiha Shingen thought of the large group of people who had connections and couldn't help but have a headache.

But most of them are either comrades or relatives, so it's hard to say anything.

He had no idea about this kind of thing.

Its rationality must be recognized objectively. After all, not trying to create relationships does not mean that you are upright.

"Not today," Yingzi said. "Basically, I've been here before. It won't be as frequent as before."

"Yes..." Uchiha Shingen felt much more relaxed and took a sip from his tea cup.

After thinking about it, he decided to openly talk to his wife about what was on his mind.

"Sakura, what do you think of this matter about Naruto?"

"I think it's great. If you become Hokage, you don't have to go out and fight with people all the time. We can rest assured."

"I'm strong."

"I know, but it's good to have less fighting."

"But in that case, I will have less time to accompany you. Then you won't have to work overtime every once in a while now. You may have to work overtime frequently. You know, all the departments in the village are busy now."

"If you don't have time, we can take the initiative to find you. Moreover, if you become Hokage, the children will have a better future." Sakurako said very matter-of-factly.

She is a mother, and what she cares about most is her child's future.

And the Hokage's children will never be treated badly by the village.

"So you really want me to compete for Hokage?"

"Xingen..." Sakurako sighed, "I don't want to hurt you, but I think there will probably be no such thing as 'competition' this time."

"Okay, actually there is something I haven't told you all this time, mainly because I'm afraid you'll worry." Uchiha Shingen put down the tea cup and took Sakura into his arms, "I don't want to be Hokage, not because of anything else, but The current situation is actually not as good as everyone thinks. I have a hunch that Uchiha Madara will try to recreate the past in the myth. My personal position is different. Although it is for a good purpose, the result of that incident is in my personal opinion very bad."

Sakurako didn't ask what it was.

She doesn't really understand much about ninjas, but she understands the meaning of lines separated by mountains.

Secondly, she knew Uchiha Shingen, and she definitely didn't want to cause trouble to her family if she didn't tell him.

She understood this feeling very well.

After all, she is also from the ninja clan.

"Xingen, is it possible that you don't trust other people's abilities too much?" Sakurako considered her words, "You work very hard, but others have also been working hard. In fact, to them, you are like this. It’s not about protection, but it makes them feel like you don’t trust them.”

"...I will work hard." Uchiha Shingen did not refute and sincerely accepted his wife's opinion.

After all, it's all true.

He really didn't trust it.

But no one who has read the comics can trust it...

The huge ninja world made Nagato and Uchiha Obito seize the opportunity to make full use of the conflicts between the various ninja villages and gather enough power to overturn the table.

If Uchiha Sasuke hadn't raided the Five Kage Conference venue and overturned, it is estimated that Uchiha Obito would have been dormant for a while, and there would still be a few games between the five major villages.

Shimura Danzo's operation at the Five Shadows Conference was actually not a problem, after all, the others were just as good. For example, Kumogakure Village directly viewed the Five Shadows Conference as an opportunity to redistribute profits.

How can we fulfill the important task of protecting the world with such a bunch of insects?

Although Konoha Hidden Village has never been clean, in this matter, Konoha Hidden Village is the right player.

"I have borrowed a lot of people from the Jonin class this time, and everyone is working very energetically. I believe this matter will come to an end soon." Uchiha Shingen kissed Sakurako, "You should go to bed early. Well, I still have something to think about for a while."

"Well, don't think about it for too long, come up early."

Sakura kissed back and went upstairs.

Uchiha Shingen sat on the sofa for a long time.

Straight to the bottom of a pot of tea.

Uchiha Shingen did not go to add water, he put his hands into his sleeves.

"Come out and tell me, why is it so urgent?"

An ANBU appeared in the living room.

As the head of the ANBU, he will also have his own guard. This is a mandatory configuration and is also for work.

The guards will adopt a shift system and stay by the ANBU Minister's side around the clock. On the one hand, they are to avoid accidents, and on the other hand, they serve as eyes and ears, feeding back information to the ANBU Minister at any time.

"Minister, Sunagakure's envoy has come to see you again."

"They are too impatient." Uchiha Shingen sighed, "No wonder it's not as good as every year. We return their share of the task to them, but in the end they still can't stand up, and the mud can't hold up the wall."

"They are indeed in a hurry. The leader of Yuyin Village has not yet appeared, but the Red Sand Scorpion has broken all their poisons, and he used hundreds of human puppets at one time."

"Oh? We have a lot of inventory. Are there no Konoha ninjas in there?"

"Yes," the ANBU said. "Although it was from a long time ago, it is indeed the jounin originally marked as missing in the village."

"Then it's worth meeting." Uchiha Shingen sneered.

The overtime work tonight will be on Scorpion's head.

After thinking about it, he decided not to change his clothes and just go to see Sunagakure's envoy like this, so that he could show his strength.

Moreover, he personally hopes to revisit his old place and go to the Land of Rain again.

Chapter 18 Attack of Shingen

Uchiha Shingen met Sunagakure's messenger in his office.

The identity of this messenger can fully reflect Sunagakure's "sincerity".

"Maki-dono, the last time you came to Konoha was for the chunin exam, right?" Uchiha Shingen nodded at him, "I just met you at this time. I hope you won't be offended. As you can see, we are indeed very busy now. Busy, most people in this building are still working overtime."

"I dare not." Ma Ji lowered his head, "It is an honor for me, Mr. Shingen, to agree to see me."

"We are all allies, so there is no need to be so polite." Uchiha Shingen said, "The night in Konoha is colder than Sunagakure. Drink some tea to warm yourself up. This is a good tea specially provided by the Fire Daimyo Palace. Come on. , not much time for these few sips of tea."

Markie nodded in agreement and took the hot tea handed over by the secretarial staff.

He took a sip and thought about how he could convince Uchiha Shingen to take action.

Usually, when persuading others, you start with the other person’s needs.

But Uchiha Shingen has no need for Sunagakure.

"Sir Shingen, Sunagakure has been weak for many years. The current situation requires Konoha's help. We also hope to retain more strength and fulfill our obligations as an ally to Konoha."

"To put it seriously, Kazekage-sama is probably too modest to use 'accumulated weakness' to evaluate himself." Uchiha Shingen said, "Agyakure appears to be strong on the surface, but his foundation is too weak. The final victory still belongs to Sunagakure, right? Konoha Intervening at this time is obviously going astray."

"Sir Shingen, you have been to Sunagakure. We had to implement elitism a long time ago. The number of ninjas has long been less than half of the Sandaime era. The lack of supplies prevents us from cultivating enough ninjas. Just guarding the border is enough." We have tried our best.”

"It seems that Lord Kazekage pities the people below, or is he worried about Nagato?" Uchiha Shingen waved his hand, "I have been fortunate enough to interact with Lord Kazekage several times, and I still remember it fresh. Sunagakure has With such an excellent leader, I believe Sunagakure will be able to reach the top again one day."

"With you here in Konoha, we don't dare to hope. As for Nagato of Amegakure, that is the legendary Rinnegan Eye. Apart from you, I am afraid no one has the confidence to face it." Maki said.

"Maki-dono." Uchiha Shingen sighed, "Even if you flatter me so much, I can't help you convince the Hokage to help you deal with Amegakure. After all, I am the minister of ANBU, and I can only act because of the village. , if you only have these words to say, then our meeting may not have any effect."

No, you just go.

Marky couldn't help but think so.

I don’t know if Uchiha Shingen knows that in Amegakure Village, his reputation is greater than that of Konoha.

Every time he went to the Land of Rain, he would rub the rain ninja's face on the ground.

The rain ninjas hated and feared him.

Marki suddenly remembered something.

"According to the intelligence from our village, the Sound Ninja have also taken action. They have formed an alliance with Amegakure." Maji said, "According to the alliance, the alliance leader should also be notified of the interconnection between allies."

"Your information is indeed worthy of attention." Uchiha Shingen became interested. "Everyone knows who Otogakure's master is, and he is also a member of the Akatsuki organization. So, Akatsuki has already cooperated with Amegakure?"

"Yes, Master Kazekage has already met Akatsuki, and they have clearly sided with Yugakure."

"how to prove?"

"They killed one of our jounin."

Then this is indeed very solid evidence.

But it wasn't enough for Konoha to take action, especially not enough for him to leave the village.

Uchiha Shingen thought about it. Since he couldn't normally give up some people's idea of ​​letting him sit on that chair, he might as well partially imitate Jiraiya.

After all, he has a family, and it is impossible to stay out completely. However, for such an important position as Hokage, there are procedures to follow. As long as the procedures are followed, he will find a reason to go out.

But the reason must be solid.

After all, only if he follows the rules can others follow the rules.

It's not that he's being hypocritical because he doesn't want to be Hokage. He thinks it's more reliable to spend more time on personal strength.

If this happened, he could still become Hokage, then he would be convinced.

He is a member of this village after all.

From a rational point of view, he was not surprised that he would be considered as the successor to Hokage. He was already related to the demands of too many people.

So he decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Sir Maki, I am actually on your side." Uchiha Shingen and Maki looked at each other, "You must give me a sufficient reason."

Markey understood.

But he was in a bit of a dilemma.

After all, someone in Sunagakure had already chopped off his own Kazekage.

If you continue to scold your own Kazekage, it will make people doubt that Sunagakure is a place where anyone who has a grudge against will be chosen as the Kazekage.

That would be very funny.

"It seems that Mr. Makki hasn't thought about it yet." Uchiha Shingen was a little disappointed.
