Chapter 286: Godaime Hokage?

Early the next morning, the Konoha Village was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Death is an inevitable thing in a war.

And if there is death, there will naturally be a funeral.

Kakashi was wearing a black suit, holding a white flower in his hand, and walked towards the place where the Memorial Stone was located.

Today, all those who died during the war will have their funerals here.

At this time, many people are walking towards the place where the Memorial Stone is.

Kakashi was feeling a little emotional. At the beginning of this new life, the first thing he did was attend the funeral.

In the Kyuubi's attack, the number of dead and wounded was ten times as many as this time. The victims also included the Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato and his wife, Uzumaki Kushina.

Compared with that time, this funeral is obviously smaller.

But this does not hinder the sentimental atmosphere brought by this funeral.

"Yo, Kakashi."

The familiar green clothed figure appeared in front of Kakashi.

"Ah, Guy, shall we go together?"

"Of course, we are eternal rival!"

Guy stretched out his thumb, and revealed his white reflective teeth.

Kakashi smiled slightly, and followed Kai to the Memorial Stone.

'This world is so strange. After thirteen years, it seems that I have returned to the way when I first came to this world.'

'Everything happened as if it was only yesterday, but it was obviously has been so long.'

The teenager at that time has now grown into a powerful presence.

Whether it is Guy or Kakashi.

Back then, the two argued over the issue of sacrifice, but at this time, neither of them spoke.

After experiencing so many things in this world, they have already seen this kind of death very thoroughly.

Growing up is the process of gradually converging emotions.

This road to the Memorial Stone is not long, and it is even more familiar to Kakashi.

The two walked slowly, and after a while, they arrived.

Tombstones are everywhere, the place is full of crowds wearing black clothes, and there are also gorgeous white flowers everywhere.

There was a drizzle in the sky as if the sky was also feeling sad about this funeral.

Kakashi placed the white flowers in the middle, then retreated, standing silently in the crowd.

At this time, he was only a villager who is here to send the death, nothing more.

Soon after, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura also came here. Naruto put away his usual carefreeness, and his expression became a little heavy, which looked a little distressing.

This may be the first time Naruto has understood the true meaning of companionship.

There are not too many words, and there is only a long silence.

The funeral was hosted by Sandaime Hokage. His didn't say a lot of things, but simply said a few words.

Sandaime Hokage, who regarded all Konoha villagers as his own family, is feeling uncomfortable at this time.

Naruto asked Iruka about his doubts.

"Iruka-sensei, people... Why can people give up their lives for others?"

Iruka who heard these words was stunned. He suddenly remembered that nine years ago, he had also asked Kakashi the same question in front of the Memorial Stone.

Iruka looked at Kakashi, and Kakashi nodded, but did not speak.

Iruka patted Naruto's head and said softly, "Naruto, do you know? When I was your age, I also asked Kakashi-senpai the same question."

"Huh? Really? What did Kakashi-sensei say?" Naruto asked with a puzzled look.

Iruka smiled and said: "After a person dies, everything will disappear. His past, present life, and future will all disappear together. Many people will die in war or in mission, and it is very easy for people to die."

"Some of these dead people also have dreams. Everyone has their own most treasured things. Parents, brothers, friends, lovers, and partners in the village that is very important to them. "

"They trust and help each other, and from the moment they are born, they have a bond with the people they think are important for them, and this bond will grow stronger and stronger over time."

"It doesn't require any reason, but people who have these kinds of bonds will do this because it is the thing they cherish the most. In this world, there are things far more terrifying than death, so people choose to protect their important people."

"So, Naruto, we are never afraid of death. What we afraid of is being powerless and unable to protect the beliefs in our hearts."

Naruto thought about it seriously and looked at Kakashi not far away.

The funeral is over, but life continues.

Hokage Tower, Jōnin meeting.

Sandaime Hokage is sitting at the front, and his old face looked very kind.

The three elder councils sat next to Sandaime Hokage.

"This time, Sunagakure and Otogakure worked together to attack Konoha. The situation has been investigated. Orochimaru killed Yondaime Kazekage and deceived Sunagakure. Although Sunagakure's behavior can be forgiven, compensation is still indispensable. We will discuss it with Sunagakure's envoys later."

Hearing this, all of the Jōnin nodded, showing their agreement.

All of Konoha's elites are present, and they are familiar with such things.

Sandaime Hokage once again talked about some of the things the village had to deal with after the war, and that they need to deal with these things in an orderly manner.

After all, he is someone who has been working as Hokage for decades, so no one in Konoha Village is more familiar with these things than him.

After an hour, all of these things are all discussed.

Just when everyone thought that the meeting was about to end, Sandaime Hokage suddenly said: "The incident of Orochimaru attacking Konoha this time made me feels guilty. Back then, I'm the one who released Orochimaru, which led to these incidents. So, I plan to take the blame and resign."

Everyone was startled, and then Shikaku said: "Sandaime-sama, this matter needs to be considered. Replacing Hokage is a very troublesome thing, and it is likely to affect Konoha who had just settled down after this war."

"Shikaku, I have considered this matter well. Right now, Konoha needs a new leader. I am getting older and somewhat powerless, so no matter which aspect it is, we need new Hokage to lead Konoha. This old bone of mine should have rested as early as thirteen years ago. Over the years, I have also been tired."

"This..." Shikaku was silent for a moment, knowing that what Sandaime Hokage said was very reasonable.

"Well, the next step is to determine the candidate for the new Hokage. Today, I want everyone to recommend me the new Hokage candidate, and then I will report it to the Daimyo and make the final decision."

When Sandaime Hokage made this statement, all the Shinobi looked at each other, as if thinking about who should be the new Hokage.

Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku are very calm at this time, because they know that they are not qualified to become the new Hokage.

Whether it is the Hyuga Clan or the Uchiha Clan, they are Konoha's important forces, and if the Clan Leader of these two clans became the Hokage, it will inevitable that they will favor their own clan members over the other villagers.

And to become the Hokage, in addition to ability, they also need impartiality.

Although the Hokage can be partial, they must not put the interests of the clan over the village.

Kakashi suddenly felt that many eyes are looking at him, especially Sandaime Hokage's eyes, which are full of expectations.

Kakashi smiled bitterly, 'Why did all of them look at me like that?'

The noisy meeting room then fell silent after a while, and then Shikaku stood up again and said: "Sandaime-sama, I recommend Hatake Kakashi as the Godaime Hokage."

"The reasons are as follows: First, Hatake Kakashi is the Yondaime-sama's disciple, and also the son of White Fang-sama. Second, Hatake Kakashi defeated Yondaime Raikage and prevented Kumogakure's invasion in time. Third, Hatake Kakashi is Anbu Commander and possesses the ability to command the people. Fourth, when Orochimaru attacked Konoha this time, Kakashi's performance is obvious to all."

"Combining these four points, Hatake Kakashi is absolutely qualified to serve as the Godaime Hokage. Please consider my opinion, Sandaime-sama."

Hearing this, Sandaime Hokage nodded with a smile and said: "Shikaku's words are very reasonable, then please vote."

All of Jōnin looked at each other for a few times, and then raised their hands one by one.

Hyuga Hiashi glanced at Kakashi in kindly and also raised his hand.

Back then, Kakashi resolved the crisis of the Hyuga Clan. Because of that, Hyuga Hiashi has always been grateful to Kakashi, and the relationship between the two is pretty good. So, if Kakashi becomes Hokage, it will only bring benefit to the Hyuga Clan.

Uchiha Fugaku also raised his hand. Because of everything Kakashi did for the Uchiha Clan, Fugaku is very grateful of Kakashi. Fugaku also believes that Kakashi becoming the Hokage is definitely the best choice for the Uchiha Clan.

Almost all of the people present raised their hands, making Kakashi slightly surprised that he had accumulated so many supporters without him knowing.

Sandaime Hokage smiled upon seeing this, then he asked Kakashi: "Hatake Kakashi, would you like to become the Godaime Hokage?"
