Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

With a slight nod, the three of them instantly reached a consensus on the suggestion.

The establishment of a medical department would not only be disadvantageous to several people, but it might also disperse their advisory powers.

This is something they don't want to see.

The Third Hokage, who sat at the head seat, had been a teammate for many years and had gone through more than ten years of working together as a team.

He could see clearly the little movements of Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and Shimura Danzo.

I sighed slightly in my heart.

It seems that the medical department’s affairs still cannot be settled today.

really.

Regarding the Third Hokage's proposal to establish a medical department, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utane and En Mito Kado all expressed strong opposition.

The three people discussed Konoha's existing funds, personnel, and the national conditions of the Land of Fire.

etc. kept talking, and there was only one core point, which was that the current Konoha was not suitable for establishing a medical department.

Konoha has more than enough Konoha Hospital.

"I think given Okamoto Dousuke's age, it's still too early for him to be the acting director of the medical department."

"Why not let Okamoto Dousuke be the director of Konoha Hospital!!" Utane Koharu thought of a slightly compromise method.

Since they have refuted the Third Hokage's proposal, they have to come up with a compromise.

Having Okamoto Dousuke serve as the director of Konoha Hospital is such a compromise.

Although Danzo Shimura was still slightly dissatisfied with Utane Koharu's proposal.

But there is no other way.

Danzo Shimura wanted to exclude Okamoto Dousuke from the credit for the Third Shinobi World War.

But this kind of thing is tantamount to chilling the hearts of the Hiraname ninjas.

Moreover, the contribution made by Okamoto Dousuke in the war was obvious to all the Konoha ninjas.

More importantly, there is no irreconcilable hatred between Utane Koharu and Mitokado En and Okamoto Dousuke.

There was even no conflict between the two of them and Okamoto Dousuke.

All Utane Koharu and Mitokado En had to do was to exclude Okamoto Dousuke from the position of Konoha advisors.

They just don't want anyone to distract from the power of their advisors.

Making Okamoto Dousuke the director of Konoha Hospital not only made arrangements for Okamoto Dousuke, but also saved the face of the Third Hokage.

So that the Third Hokage would not feel that he had been sidelined.

Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En are indeed old guys who have been immersed in Konoha's political arena for so many years.

He is very good at picking up and transferring information.

In a few strokes, the proposal of the third Hokage was resolved.

"Do you agree with Koharu's proposal?" asked the Third Hokage with a little helplessness.

"Yes, seconded!"

"I second the motion!" Mito Kado En and Shimura Danzo both nodded in agreement.

"Okay! Let's do this!" The Third Hokage nodded.

Seeing the Third Hokage nod, the other three smiled at each other, feeling that the meeting should be over.

Shimura Danzo moved his chair back and looked like he was about to leave.

"There is one more thing I want to announce!!"

The Third Hokage sat steadily in the chair, looking at the smiling people, and then spoke.

"Hmm?" The other three people looked at the Third Hokage.

Is there anything more important than establishing a medical department?

Just as Koharu Utane was thinking.

Danzo Shimura belatedly realized what the Third Hokage was going to say.

It turned out to be the same as Shimura Danzo's guess.

"I declare you the next generation Hokage!!"

"The candidate for the Fourth Hokage is Minato Namikaze!!!"

what?

Nani! ?

The other three people present, except Shimura Danzo, had the same expression on their faces.

Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En both looked at the Third Hokage with shocked expressions.

"Third generation, are you serious?" asked Utane Koharu in a deep voice.

"Yeah!" The Third Hokage nodded.

"I have already submitted the documents confirming Minato Namikaze's appointment as the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire." The Third Hokage said slowly.

"I have already submitted the documents to the daimyo of the Land of Fire!!" Zhuanzhu Xiaochun even stood up violently out of excitement.

This kind of thing is usually discussed first and then submitted.

"Yeah!" The Third Hokage nodded.

The Kage of Konoha Village and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire are on equal terms.

One is the top leader of Konoha Ninja Village, and the other is the top leader of the Fire Country.

There is no question of who is the leader between the two.

The village needs economic support from the Fire Nation.

The Fire Nation needs Konoha's protection.

Konohagakure and the Land of Fire complement each other.

As they are located in the same land, Konoha will be the first to notify the Daimyo of the Land of Fire when a Hokage is changed.

Similarly, when the Daimyo of the Land of Fire changes, Konoha will be notified first.

This is both trust and respect.

Once the document for changing the shadow or daimyo is submitted.

Both Konoha and the Land of Fire will give suggestions, and of course these suggestions are generally agreed to.

However, once Konoha or the Land of Fire gives a different suggestion, they will also re-examine whether the successor they have chosen is really qualified to take over the position of Kage of a village or Daimyo of a country.

What the Third Hokage is doing now is equivalent to bypassing their Konoha Advisory Council and directly deciding on Minato Namikaze's position as the Fourth Hokage.

The Third Hokage was able to sit securely in the position of Hokage not only because of his own strong strength.

It's also because the Third Hokage and the current Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Shin Kagami Eimi, have a close relationship.

The fact that the Fire Nation still firmly supported Konoha when Konoha was in a 1 vs 3 situation was also related to this relationship.

"Third generation, if you think Namikaze Minato is capable of being the Hokage, then do it!" Mitomon En said calmly.

Originally, the position of Hokage was decided by the previous Hokage, but in recent years, the Third Hokage did not have the strength to shock the ninja world like the First Senju Hashirama and the Second Senju Tobirama.

And because the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, wanted to prevent the Hokage from having too much power, he established the position of Konoha Advisor to limit the power of the Hokage.

In the vision of the Second Hokage, if a village wants to survive in the long run, the tyranny of one person is not an acceptable behavior.

That is why during the time of the Third Hokage, a voting system was implemented to divide the power of the Hokage.

But now that the Third Hokage has reached an agreement with the Land of Fire, it is a foregone conclusion that Minato Namikaze will take over as Hokage.

Among the three, only Danzo Shimura stared at the Third Hokage.

The rising and falling of his chest clearly showed how Shimura Danzo was feeling at the moment.

You have to know that from the very beginning, Danzo Shimura put a lot of effort into Orochimaru.

It is also in the best interest of Orochimaru to become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.
