Strictly speaking, the last legitimate Hokage of Konoha is not the third Hokage sitting in the main seat of the conference room at this time, but Danzo who has defected.
Danzo is the agent Hokage who is recognized by the village and the fire country daimyo at the same time, and is the official and legal successor of the third generation of Hokage.
Of course, as Danzo held the "Blood Succession Fusion Ceremony" privately, causing thousands of Konoha ninjas to die and injure him, and after he defected, he was deprived of his identity as an agent of Hokage by the village.
So in detail, the position of Hokage in Konoha Village is actually vacant.
The reason why everyone acquiesces in the three generations to succeed Danzo to perform the duties of Hokage is only because after Danzo's defection, the whole village is in panic, and there is an urgent need for a strong man with qualifications and prestige to stand up and stabilize people's hearts.
Now Fugaku Uchiha used this as an excuse to demand the official election of the Fifth Hokage at a high-level meeting, which is irrefutable in legal terms.
After pondering for a while, the Third Hokage on the main seat nodded and said, "That's right, the village should officially elect the Fifth Hokage!"
Turning to bed, Xiaochun's expression changed: "Ri Zhan, how could you..."
The Third Hokage first made a calming gesture to Zhuanzu Xiaochun, and then said calmly to everyone: "I am temporarily acting as the Hokage because of the situation at that time. Now that the situation has returned to calm, it is time to elect the Fifth Hokage."
The third generation really does not want to hand over the position of Naruto to the Uchiha clan, but he does not want to break the rules of the village.
Because this set of rules is the guarantee for the continuous inheritance of the Hokage family. If he breaks this rule himself, then others can follow suit in the future.
Zhuanzhu Xiaochun also quickly realized this, and then kept silent.
At the very beginning of the meeting, such an explosive topic was brought up, which caught the high-level attendees off guard. Some looked surprised, some looked thoughtful, and some had twinkling eyes.
For a while, the meeting room fell into a brief silence.
It was Fugaku, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan who broke the silence. He smiled and said with confidence: "As the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, I announce that Shisui and I will participate in the Fifth Hokage election at the same time!"
As soon as Fuyue finished speaking, many high-level people cast their eyes on him.
Turning to bed Xiaochun even bluntly said: "I'm afraid this is against the rules!"
There is a set of mature rules for Konoha to elect Hokage, that is, nominated by the former Hokage or the advisor elders, and then a vote of confidence by all the Jonin, and the one who passes can become the new Hokage.
Except for the first Hokage who created Konoha with his own hands, and the second Hokage, the subsequent Hokage, without exception, are all elected through this set of rules.
For example, the third generation is nominated by the second generation.
When running for the Fourth Hokage, the third Hokage, who was the former Hokage, nominated Namikaze Minato, and Danzo, who was the elder advisor, nominated Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato defeated Orochimaru in the vote of confidence and successfully ascended to the fourth Hokage.
Later, Danzo became the agent of Hokage, and also removed the three generations through a vote of confidence, and nominated himself as a consultant elder, and became a candidate for Hokage.
It's just that he failed to pass the vote of confidence of all Jnin, so he only became a temporary agent Hokage, not the official Five Generations Hokage.
It can be said that it is this set of rules, or more specifically, the 'nomination rights' possessed by the former Hokage and the advisor elders, that is the key to the succession of the Hokage family.
As long as the right to nominate is kept, the Hokage family can easily manipulate the successor candidates!
Coldly staring at Zhuan Xiaochun, Fuyue said sharply: "I don't think everyone present here should be forgetful. The fourth nominated by the third generation died inexplicably. During the third generation's tenure, the village suffered unprecedented damage. Afterwards, Danzo, who was nominated by the advisory elders, even defected as an agent of Hokage, making the village a laughing stock of the entire ninja world!"
Listening to Fuyue's cold accusation, Zhuanzhu Xiaochun was speechless, and the three generations in the main seat also looked sad.
The death of the fourth generation can be said to be an accident, but the destruction of the village and Danzo's defection are indeed the inescapable responsibility of the Hokage family.
In particular, the fact that Danzo defected as an agent of Hokage has made it difficult for the Hokage family to talk about it, because there has never been a bizarre incident in which a village shadow defected in the ninja world.
Different from the silence of the Naruto family, the patriarchs of the major families participating in the meeting began to whisper among each other, even the three "Zhuludie" families who have always supported the three generations are no exception.
Because Fuyue's words do have some truth, the Hokage series has indeed made frequent tricks in recent years, and before that there was internal strife between Danzo and the third generation of the Hokage series.
Danzo, who successfully seized the position of Hokage, not only failed to fulfill the obligations of Hokage, but for his own selfishness, held the "Blood Succession Fusion Ceremony" privately without telling everyone, and ignored the lives of Konoha ninjas, causing hundreds of Konoha ninjas.
Examining the expressions on the faces of the patriarchs of the major families, the third generation knew that it was no longer possible to forcefully suppress the Uchiha clan at this time, so they could only choose to compromise and said: "If your Uchiha clan insists, I agree!"
Fuyue immediately said: "We insist that this time Shisui and I will participate in the Fifth Hokage election at the same time! Moreover, I propose to join the competition in this election. After all, the threat of the Akatsuki organization is imminent, and we Konoha need a powerful Hokage!"
The reason why Fuyue pulled Shisui was to further increase the chances of the Uchiha clan being selected, and because it was a regular candidate, Shisui, a member of Uchiha, had no reason to refuse.
As for Shinichi, because he had defected once, he was never destined for the position of Hokage for life, so Fugaku did not include him in the ranks of running for the Fifth Hokage.
Looking at Fuyue full of confidence, Hizuru was also a little moved, but finally sighed and said to himself: "Unfortunately, it would be great if I had found the giant Tenseiken!"
This time, the Hokage Department was forced to make a compromise and relax the restrictions on nomination rights. For the Hyuga Clan, it was actually an opportunity.
It's just that without the help of the giant Tenseigan, Nizuru has no confidence at all to rival the Uchiha clan with the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, so he can only watch the opportunity slip away in regret.
The other major ninja clans also had thoughts, but when they thought of facing the Uchiha family's kaleidoscope, the thoughts that had just been alive, quickly went out again.
On the main seat, the third generation who had been silently observing everyone's expressions said at this time: "In the name of the former Hokage, I nominate Kakashi for the Fifth Hokage!"
