Jiraya, now in addition to you, is there a more suitable candidate in Konoha?
"When he was alive, he always hoped that you could become the Hokage and lead Konoha to the light. Do you want to go against your teacher's wishes?"
Homura and Koharu were trying to change their minds.
Originally, they thought that it would be easy for Jiraya to become the Hokage. After all, in their eyes, Sarutobi had just been buried, and now Jiraya had come back. How could it not be for the position of the Hokage?
But Jiraya proved with practical action that he really did not have any thoughts about the position of the Hokage, and he even avoided it.
He simply heard the news, so he rushed back to pay for the death of his teacher.
As for the Hokage, he did not care about this mess, nor did he care who would become the Hokage.
He only wanted to find Orochimaru and make him kneel in front of his teacher's tomb and admit his mistake, and then let him slap him to death!
So, facing the two advisers... Oh, he was only an elder now. Facing the two elders' earnest persuasion, he directly refused, "I really can't bear the heavy responsibility of the Hokage. Elders, don't try to persuade me anymore. I believe that Konoha has a lot of talented people. We can definitely choose a Hokage that will convince everyone."
"Tsunade is more suitable to be the Hokage than me."
"Can you find Tsunade and persuade her to come back and take over the position of Hokage?" Koharu asked coldly.
"Well, I can go to find him. By the way, Kakashi is also very good. I recommend Kakashi to be the Hokage."
"That kid from Hashirama Family."
Homura and Koharu's faces changed, but in their hearts, they directly sentenced Kakashi to death. As long as they had the final say, they would definitely not let Kakashi become the Hokage.
Don't forget, the two of them also had a part in the matter of forcing Sakumo to death.
It was hard to say whether Kakashi would turn over this old account after becoming the Hokage.
So it was still the most suitable for Jiraya and Tsunade, and with Jiraya's undisciplined personality, they were most assured.
At that time, the two of them might be able to hold the power in their hands and experience the 'fun' of half a Hokage.
Otherwise, why would they be so active?
As soon as Sarutobi died, he couldn't wait to go to the Land of Fire and talk about it!
As for the friendship from the past, it had completely disappeared when Sarutobi stabbed them.
"In short, we will appoint you as the Hokage in tomorrow's meeting. If you are the 5th Hokage, no one can gossip about it."
Homura and Koharu did not give Jiraya a chance to continue talking. They directly relied on their seniority to finalize this matter, which made Jiraya very disgusted.
But it was impossible for him to really let Konoha fall into chaos.
So he sighed and decided to go over tomorrow. If there was a suitable candidate, he would quit. If there was no one else, then he would learn from the teacher and put on the name of the Hokage. When Tsunade came back, or if there was a suitable candidate, he would give up.
After thinking it through, he finally stopped having a headache and just did it.
However, at this moment, Jiraya couldn't imagine what would happen in the meeting tomorrow, and he also couldn't imagine that the one competing for the position of Hokage was actually a teenager.
......
The next day, the meeting room in the Hokage building was full of people.
The ones in charge of this meeting were Fugaku and Hiashi, as well as the two old gang members, Homura and Koharu.
The rest were in charge of listening and recording, voting for the Hokage.
After the meeting began, Koharu suggested, "I suggest that the disciple of the deceased 3rd Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the teacher of the 4th Hokage, and of the tLegendary Sanin, Jiraya be the 5th Hokage!"
"Jiraya has returned from his travels, Whether it is prestige, strength, or other aspects, he is the most suitable to be the Hokage."
After Koharu finished his speech, everyone could not help but nod, including Fugaku and Hiashi. They had to admit that Jiraya did have this qualification, and only Tsunade could compare to him.
Looking at this calendar and connections, it was really too luxurious.
Teacher, I am a Hokage. I have strength and prestige. I don't have any negative image. Oh, I may be one, but I don't care.
So after everyone nodded, Homura and Koharu immediately looked at each other and called Jiraya in.
After sitting down, Jiraya didn't say a word. His eyes were full of worry. He really didn't want to be a Hokage.
Maybe God heard his thoughts, so the next meeting could be said to be a sudden change in situation!
"Since no one is against it, let's report this to the general and wait for his appointment."
"Wait a minute!"
Fugaku suddenly interrupted Koharu.
"I remember that today's meeting was just to propose a candidate? Although the candidate proposed by the two elders is very suitable, isn't it a bit too hasty?"
Koharu immediately snorted, "Other than Jiraya, is there anyone else who is more suitable? Maybe Tsunade is one of them, but her whereabouts are still unknown. She didn't even show up when such a big thing happened. She can't always keep the Hokage position and wait for her to come back, right?"
Koharu was very powerful. She knew that there was Tsunade who could compete with Jiraya, so she didn't wait for others to bring it up.
And then there was no need to refute the fact that Tsunade's qualification was cancelled, which directly blocked the mouth of others.
But the problem was that Fugaku was not going to suggest Tsunade.
Fugaku first nodded and admitted her words, "What the elder said is very reasonable." Then he changed the topic, "But I think there are other candidates who can be discussed except for Tsunade."
Homura immediately sneered, "Who? Is that Kakashi? Don't forget that he is a member of the Anbu. Although he has made a lot of contributions to the village, his reputation is not good. How can such a person convince the public?"
Fugaku smiled and shook his head, "The candidate I want to propose is not Kakashi, but strength, prestige, fame, and other aspects."
Homura and Koharu immediately changed their faces and began to think. How did they not know that there was such a person in Konoha?
After all, a certain Imp Root was not on the list in their hearts.
Then, in the eyes of everyone, Fugaku softly said a name.
"I propose... Shinomiya Aoba!"
