Naruto: I am Uchiha, my understanding is incredible.

Uchiha is not suitable to lead Konoha

In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already been secretly inspecting every outstanding ninja in the village for a long time.

Naturally, this includes Minato Namikaze, as well as his direct disciple and his favorite disciple of all time, Orochimaru.

So far, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s most promising Hokage candidates are only Namikaze Minato and his disciple Orochimaru.

And to choose the most suitable one among these two people, there is no doubt that it is Namikaze Minato.

No matter in terms of strength, character or conduct, Namikaze Minato is stronger than his beloved disciple Orochimaru.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with satisfaction and smiled, he suddenly looked sideways at Namikaze Minato’s face half-jokingly, and asked tentatively: “Minato, if you were asked to become Hokage now, what would you do? ”

Sandaime-sama, what did you say?”

Namikaze Minato’s eyes widened in surprise, thinking that Sarutobi Hiruzen was joking with him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed twice, and then explained seriously: “I am getting older and older.”

“It’s time to retire and take care of myself.”

These words This made Namikaze Minato’s heart sink slightly.

Naturally, he didn’t believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen would be so easily resigned to old age.

At the age of 50 or 60, do you think you are old and want to take care of yourself? Just looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was in good spirits and walking vigorously, it didn’t look like he was in a failing state.

There must be other reasons that lead to this result.

However, Namikaze Minato did not ask. If Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to say something, he would naturally tell him.

“Sandaime-sama, I…”

Namikaze Minato was thinking about the bet between him and Uchiha Diki.

At this moment, he just felt that the man seemed to have the ability to predict the future.

“He actually guessed it right… The Third Generation really planned to pass the position of Hokage to me, but…”

I made a big bet with Uchiha and lost that game.

The condition put forward by the other party was that if he might become Hokage in the future, he must give up this opportunity.

Namikaze Minato’s mood was extremely complicated.

He didn’t expect that everything would develop like this.

“What’s wrong? Minato?”

“Do you have something to say to me?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed something was wrong with Namikaze Minato’s expression.

He stopped and turned to look at the other person with his hands behind his back.

At this time, Namikaze Minato had no choice but to bite the bullet and asked, “Sandaime-sama, what you just said was not serious, right?” ”

What? Don’t you want to be Hokage?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face turned serious for a moment. He stood up, his tone was full of majesty, and he seemed a little unhappy.

He also felt puzzled.

Namikaze Minato had never been so coy and hesitant before.

What caused him to look like this?

Under the sharp gaze of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato had no choice but to tell the truth.

“Sandaime-sama, actually, I made an agreement with someone.”

“If you really plan to give me the position of Hokage, I’m afraid I can’t accept this…” ”

Oh?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, It suddenly dawned on him, but then his brows furrowed deeply.

He stared at the embarrassed Minato Namikaze for a while, then took a deep breath and asked calmly: “Who made the agreement with you that made you willing to give up the opportunity to become Hokage? Minato, if it was you who made the decision , I believe it will not be a child’s play.”

“But you have to think clearly, I will tell you the truth, I am very optimistic about you, and there is currently no one in the entire Konoha Village who is more suitable to take over than you. This position.”

“I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

These words brought very strong psychological pressure to Namikaze Minato.

He could only bite the bullet and further elaborate on the bet that looked back now, very ridiculous.

Soon, Namikaze Minato told the whole story.

After listening to his explanation, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s frown deepened.

He had never expected that the majestic Konoha Golden Flash would actually lose to an Uchiha clansman in a bet on the battlefield.

What Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn’t even imagine was that it would be such a small thing that made Namikaze Minato voluntarily give up the position of Hokage.

But what made Sarutobi Hiruzen even more unexpected was that Uchiha Dali also wanted to get involved in the position of Hokage.

This made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel intensely vigilant in his heart.

“A man cannot keep his word. Minato, you and Uchiha made a big bet and lost the game. You promised to voluntarily give up the position of Hokage. Of course you need to keep your promise.” ”

It’s just…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen said. At this point, I paused deliberately.

Sure enough, Namikaze Minato raised his eyes and looked at him.

Those clear eyes, filled with embarrassment and shame, revealed a trace of desire.

It was obvious that he really wanted to be Hokage.

“Although I don’t know why, with your intelligence and ability, you fell into such an obvious trap, but, Minato, even if you make a choice against your will and give up being Hokage for the sake of your promise, my position will not be the same. It will only be passed on to you.”

“The Uchiha clan is not suitable to lead Konoha.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words made Namikaze Minato’s eyes tremble slightly.

He has lived in Konoha for more than twenty years.

Growing up, although I had heard about the conflicts between the Uchiha clan and the village, it was mostly hearsay.

No elder has ever said anything like this to him, especially a person with such a high status as Hokage.

He was naming names and directly targeting the Uchiha clan.

This is the first time I encountered it.

For a moment, Namikaze Minato didn’t know how to answer the question, and could only stand there and look at Sarutobi Hiruzen at a loss.

“You don’t have to be surprised, Minato.”

“In the future, you will understand why I said this. Forget the promise between you and Uchiha Dali, I am not the only one who elected you to be the Fourth Hokage. I mean, you should have noticed it, right? The attitude of the people in the village towards you.”

“Looking at the whole of Konoha, no one’s reputation can match yours now. The absolute support of the villagers is also indispensable for becoming Hokage. One of the conditions… Otherwise it will cause big trouble.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, which is indeed very heart-warming.

What’s more, Namikaze Minato himself really wanted to be Hokage.

But after much thought, he still chose to refuse, shook his head, and Minato Namikaze said seriously: “Sandaime-sama, I know the pros and cons of this, but since I agreed to Uchiha Dali, I made a bet with him , and I lost the game.”

“Then I can’t break my promise. This is not only a matter of my personal credibility, but also the way of tolerance that I must adhere to.”
