You are only fifteen years old this year, and you will only be twenty-five in ten years. You are at the peak of your life. I believe that Minato will be happy to hand over the position of Hokage to you at that time.

You don’t have to choose this time, I will fully support you in ten years, and the possibility of you becoming the fifth generation will be 100%."

"Why should I take a step back and wait ten years to fight for something that I am qualified to fight for now?"

Uchiha Mai turned her head to stare at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at her like a torch.

The atmosphere became very solemn at this moment. A stupid fish bit Sarutobi Hiruzen's hook, causing the fish to float and sink. Sarutobi Hiruzen remained unmoved.

After a long time, the fish successfully broke away from the hook and escaped. Hiruzen Sarutobi turned back and pulled up the fishing rod and said regretfully: "Oh, it's rare for a fish to bite the hook and it breaks free."

Uchiha Mai also retracted her eyes, and then said: "However, if you want me to take a step back, it is not impossible."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly shocked. He did not expect that Mai Uchiha, who had always been strong, would give in. He hurriedly asked: "What are the conditions?"

"Double Hokage."

Uchiha Mai stared at the lake and said seriously: "Just like in Kumogakure, there is one Hokage and one Hokage candidate.

You only said that you will fully support me in ten years, but you are just saying nothing. Hokage-sama, it is difficult for me to trust you.

Let Minato-sensei be the Hokage, and I will be the Hokage candidate and Hokage advisor. At the same time, I will also be the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village. Konoha cannot set up obstacles for me.

Two villages and two shadows, with a lot of people and a lot of money, they can take care of each other.

To put it bluntly, if something happens to Minato-sensei one day, I can immediately take over as the fifth generation to minimize the impact and losses on the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into thought.

It was a good thing that Mai Uchiha was willing to give in, but the price he shouted out was so high that he felt he couldn't afford it.

Hokage Candidate + Hokage Advisor + Hollow Minister + Kirigakure Mizukage + Uchiha Talker, the four identities are superimposed, and they are almost indistinguishable from the real Hokage.

It was even said that even if Minato, who was born as a commoner, became the fourth generation, his power would probably be far less than that of Mai Uchiha.

After all, Minato civilians need to rely on the Hokage system led by Sarutobi Hiruzen in all aspects, and Uchiha Mai has her own team.

"Konoha does not have a tradition of being a Hokage candidate. It has been like this for decades. It would not be good to change the rules casually."

Sarutobi Hiruzen began to bargain: "In Kirigakure Village, if you are a Mizukage, the impact will not be very good.

[Headquarters in the fog] Minister, the veritable helmsman of the Hidden Kiri Village, isn’t that impressive enough for you?”

Uchiha Mai put away the fishing rod, stood up and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen from a high position, and said coldly: "When the First and Second Generations were in power, Konoha did not have any Hokage advisors or Hokage assistants.

Whether there can be a candidate for Hokage is not a matter of your words. But you said that you want to designate me as the fifth generation. Could it be that Hokage-sama was joking with me just now?

Over at Kirigakure Village, I always have to give them an explanation, whether I can choose the fourth generation or not, I have decided on the fifth generation Mizukage."

There is no doubt that there is no room for bargaining.

Sarutobi Hiruzen kept tapping his temples, weighing in his mind, and murmured: "Let me think about it, let me think about it..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very excited to have Minato become the Fourth Hokage. But to have Mai Uchiha become the Hokage's assistant was a bit uncomfortable.

The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to delay for ten years was to see whether Uchiha Mai would continue to grow in ten years or whether she would become hurt by the Sharingan.

If you do the former, let it go completely. The latter is the best. Just pretend that you have never said "I will fully support you in ten years." A blind and useless person also wants to be the fifth generation, so go ahead and dream about it.
