----------

Utatane Koharu blushed when she heard this. She tried to refute several times, but she couldn't say anything.

Ishigami Hara not suitable?

No!

There was no one more suitable than Ishigami Hara in the village.

"You are too young," Mitokado Homura said.

Ishigami Hara nodded. "This is indeed a problem, but..."

As he said this, Ishigami Hara smiled at him and continued, "Youth means vitality, doesn't it? It's just that, in your opinion, young people will be impulsive and incomplete in their thinking."

"But that kind of thing doesn't happen to me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked a little conflicted, and it was hard to tell whether he was sad or pleased.

The three of them were silent.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were thinking about how to refute.

The boy in front of them was not an ordinary person.

They could not be too direct in their attitude towards him, but they had to let him know that re-electing the Hokage was not a trivial matter, especially when such a thing was said in front of the current Hokage, which was somewhat akin to forcing the leader to abdicate.

If it were anyone else, the two of them would have likely started to criticize him long ago, and even used their power to punish him, but it happened that the person standing in front of them was Ishigami Hara.

What Ishigami Hara said was reasonable, and even the two of them could not find a reason to refute it for a while.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed again, took out his pipe, stuffed it with tobacco, lit it, took a deep breath, and the smoke he exhaled quickly covered his face.

"Hara, you go back first. As for what you said, I agree."

"Hiruzen!"

As soon as the words fell, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu became to protest. Needless to say, they naturally understood what it meant to agree to this matter.

Ishigami Hara smiled slightly, then bowed and said, "Yes."

After saying that, he turned around and left without giving the other two time to react.

"Hiruzen, you are impulsive!" Utatane Koharu said.

She and Mitokado Homura's faces were not very good.

"Indeed, you can see what the kid is planning. If he really succeeds, doesn't it mean that you, the Hokage, will have to give up your position? How can such a thing happen?" Mitokado Homura also said.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, his expression calm, just as calm as ever.

"Don't you see it yet? Hara will not give up on this matter."

"So what? You are the Hokage, can you be controlled by a little kid? You are the Hokage appointed by the teacher!" Utatane Koharu said again.

"You two."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, but smiled. "If it were someone else, I wouldn't be like this, but if it's Hara, I feel happy."

After saying this, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were both stunned.

They looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. "What do you mean?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took another puff of smoke and exhaled before saying, "My Konoha is full of talents."

"A genius like Hara is destined to be extraordinary in the future."

"Impossible, that kid has Uchiha blood. What's the difference between him and Uchiha?"

Utatane Koharu seemed the most excited, especially when it came to Uchiha. It seemed like there was no way she would compromise.

Mitokado Homura said in a deep voice, "Koharu is right, Hiruzen, you have to think about it. Ishigami Hara has the Sharingan. I can't see through such a person."

"If he is the same as those Uchiha, then the village will be in danger in the future."

"No."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. At this point in time, his attitude towards Uchiha was not that extreme, though he followed the philosophy of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. He was more open-minded than the other two. "His last name is Ishigami, not Uchiha. You have to have this clear."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a scroll from the drawer, threw it to the two, and said, "Take a look. This is what Hara did when he was on the front line."

The two didn't understand but began to frown and opened the scroll to read together.

A few minutes later, they looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

"Is this true?" Mitokado Homura asked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said bluntly, "This is only part of it. You both underestimated Hara. This kid's courage... is more than you think."

"In more than two months, the ninjas on the front line have improved greatly. Thirty-six of them now have the combat power of Jōnin, and another 147 can be evaluated as special Jōnin. How did he do it?"

Utatane Koharu asked, puzzled.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "He taught them himself."

Mitokado Homura took a breath of cold air. This kind of thing had never happened before. It was somewhat unbelievable.

Thirty-six ninjas with Jōnin fighting power—what does this mean? As consultants, the two of them understood it very well.

How many ninjas are there in Konoha now?

The total ninja count is only over 10,000. How many Jōnin are there among them? Less than one-tenth!

That is to say, less than a thousand out of 10,000 are Jōnin, and this also includes special Jōnin, which is a rank between Jōnin and Chūnin. To be honest, excluding special Jōnin, the number of true Jōnin is less than 300!

And now, in just two months, there are thirty-six more Jōnin, which is truly unimaginable.

The two now understood why Sarutobi Hiruzen could remain so calm.

After reacting, they could only remain silent and couldn't say anything else.

"But... Ishigami Hara is still too young."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "Yes, he is too young. It depends on how far he can go. He proposed the idea. Whether he can accomplish it is up to him. If he succeeds, it means that he has the support of all the Jōnin in the village. If he fails, it is also his own fault, isn't it?"

After calming down, Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that Ishigami Hara's excellence had exceeded his previous imagination.

It was Konoha's luck that such a genius appeared in the village. In Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion, as the Hokage, he shouldn't cling to old ideas.

If this child can truly succeed, what's wrong with giving up his position?

Being in different positions, people naturally think from different angles. Compared with Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, Sarutobi Hiruzen was easier to convince himself.

"Hiruzen, if he wants to deal with Danzō, what should we do?" Utatane Koharu asked with a frown.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slightly, without saying much, but the meaning was self-evident.

"Let's notify Danzō first."

Mitokado Homura followed up. 

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

On the other side, Ishigami Hara had returned to the tribe and received a warm welcome.

All the Ishigami tribe members were excited to welcome the return of their clan leader.

This was a great joy for them.

"Everyone, Fu and Koki are now a Jōnin, cheers!"
