"So what, you and I are both almost fifty years old. When we get older, it is not normal for us to abdicate in favor of others. I have no intention of holding on to the position of Hokage all the time. If Naoki can succeed me in the future

He is a good Hokage. He is a Konoha ninja who has inherited the pure will of fire. He will be a good Hokage, unlike someone who doesn't even know what the will of fire is.

On the one hand, it is due to the character of the Senju clan. They followed the path of the first and second generations and paid a heavy price for Konoha's prosperity. On the other hand, isn't this result what other ninja clans in Konoha want to see?

?.

Sarutobi Biwako didn't expect that the third generation would actually ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, then showed a complicated expression on his face, sighed, and answered truthfully:

"Aren't some of them too indulgent? Haven't you noticed that many important positions in Konoha's important departments have been held by family members? Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Anbu, schools, hospitals, prisons, sealing classes, and barriers.

Ban, the torture department, the first or second in command are all members of the family."

The third uncle of the third generation, Sarutobi Aoshi, noticed that the third generation didn't look well, realized that something was not right, and asked tentatively.

In the past, he would notice these changes in the clan every time he came back, but he didn't take it to heart. It was different today. He felt that these changes were a bit irritating.

Perhaps even though the Sarutobi clan developed at the beginning of the third generation so that the position of Hokage under his butt could be secured, other ninja clans could understand that after the third generation of Hokage was secured, they still maintained this biased approach. How?

Convince other ninjas.

"Hiruzhan, let's talk. There is no need to hold back because of human feelings. You are the Hokage. You are indispensable for the Sarutobi clan to be what they are today. If you fail, the Sarutobi clan will not be much better off."

Kenta Sarutobi looked at the hot tea in the cup in his hand and said calmly.

The seeds of estrangement have been sown.

...

The third generation glanced at Sarutobi Aoki. He did not speak immediately, but looked at Sarutobi.

In this way, wouldn't the Sarutobi clan be able to cover the sky with one hand in Konoha?

But how long can this situation last?

He knew very well that the development of the Sarutobi clan was all supported by him, the Hokage and the Kage-level powerhouse.

If this comes true, the Sarutobi clan who dares to swallow up the interests of the Senju clan will probably be wiped out by the Senju clan in the future.

"Yes, the Sarutobi clan will always be your home."

But after the two of them died, would other ninja clans still be willing to be the Senju clan's younger brothers for the rest of their lives?

Sandai noticed these situations and his heart sank.

To be honest, out of his trust in the Sarutobi clan, he really didn't know much about the current internal situation of the Sarutobi clan.

Danzo watched the third generation leave. He slowly stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body with his hands, and sneered in his heart:

"You will definitely kill me, Sarutobi Hiruzen. I don't know if you remember, but you have said this to me several times, but I am still living well. Sure enough, you still care too much about your butt.

The position of Hokage, in order to keep it, you will do whatever it takes, even if you are not happy, unless you can kill your relatives out of justice, you will only be able to deal with the Senju clan, hehehe~"

After saying that, he activated the curse seal again to torture Danzo.

As for the many jounin and chuunin within the Sarutobi clan, he couldn't count on them at all.

No matter how strong the Sarutobi clan is, how much stronger can the Uchiha clan as a whole be?

If after he abdicates, the Sarutobi clan cannot produce the next young shadow-level warrior, can the Sarutobi clan really continue to maintain this situation?

At this time, Sandai suddenly thought of Kirito, Chizuru and Nasuki, the Konoha buds who had shown their super talents early on, and then thought about the situation of the tribesmen who were the same age as the three of them, he couldn't help but feel a deep feeling in his heart.

chill.

Where should the future of the Sarutobi clan go?

What should he, the Hokage, do?

I originally planned to ask for leave, but I decided not to. The content of this chapter is quite important, so I will summarize it in a separate chapter.
Chapter completed!
