Sotis, who supports is not important.
Kazuki becoming Hokage is expected, and no one can stop him.
But who doesn't support, that's very important.
It's hard to guarantee that Kazuki won't settle accounts with these people after becoming Hokage, and even if he doesn't, it's hard to guarantee that the people below won't target them.
Moreover, Kazuki becoming Hokage is the general trend. At this point, no one can stop him.
Does Hiruzen really want to step down from the position of Hokage?
Probably not. He is not particularly old, far from the age where he must step down from the position of Hokage. Even his strength is still at its peak. In the eyes of many, Hiruzen is an absolute leader in the current Konoha. Apart from Kazuki, no one is probably stronger than Hiruzen.
They still don't know that Kushina has completely mastered Kurama's power, and now she has Wood Release and even Sage Body. Not to ntion Konoha, in today's Ninja World, those who can fight Kushina are very rare, let alone defeat her.
Besides Kushina, there is also Rinka, whose strength definitely surpasses Hiruzen.
Even though Hiruzen also used nutrient solutions, in the end, his strength did not improve as quickly as Rinka's.
Not to ntion others, even Tsunade, Nawaki, Minato, and Mikoto's strengths have gradually caught up, directly challenging the older generation of powerhouses, so even surpassing them.
Of course, most people don't know these things.
In the current Konoha, there are quite a few people stronger than Hiruzen.
It's just that now, everyone is looking forward to Kazuki becoming Hokage, hoping that he will bring about reforms to the Ninja World. Not to ntion these people below, even Tobirama, the anti-Uchiha vanguard and Hiruzen's teacher, has now started to criticize Hiruzen and hopes that Kazuki becos Hokage. Even this matter was first brought up by Tobirama.
Hiruzen's resignation can be said to be sothing everyone wants to see, just like Kazuki becoming Hokage.
Of course, Hiruzen's performance as Hokage was actually quite good. He didn't do those muddled things in his later years. He led Konoha to win the First and the Second Great Ninja War.
Although Hiruzen was assisting from the side, the question is, did Konoha win the wars?
During Hiruzen's tenure, Konoha also saw the ergence of top talents such as Kazuki, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Nawaki, Rinka, Minato, and Sakumo. These were all nurtured by Hiruzen, or at least belonged to his faction.
Nawaki and others have gradually shown their strength, and Tsunade and others have proven themselves on the battlefield.
It can be said that even without Kazuki, the current Konoha can maintain a one village against four villages situation.
"Since more than half of the people have nominated you, Kazuki, to beco Hokage, what are your thoughts?" Hiruzen turned his gaze to Kazuki.
Although he knew this was a foregone conclusion, the reaction of the people below made him feel both helpless and gratified.
Upon closer inspection, it seed that besides Danzo's forr subordinates, Ryoma, and the Anbu mbers, everyone else chose to support Kazuki becoming Hokage. Especially among the common people, Kazuki enjoys extrely high prestige.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Kazuki has already gained the approval of the vast majority of people.
As for the Anbu, they should not express their stance at this ti, nor can they. Especially the Anbu commander, even if they have a good relationship with certain people and believe that person should beco Hokage, they cannot stand out and express support for anyone to beco Hokage. This is a direct unit of the Hokage, and theoretically, whoever becos Hokage, they should be loyal to and work for that person.
If there are no problems, they should not openly support anyone to beco Hokage, nor should they lean towards anyone politically.
"Hokage?"
Kazuki stood up, his crimson Sharingan involuntarily appearing in his eyes, scanning everyone present.
"I believe that currently, no one in Konoha is more suitable to be Hokage than . I promise everyone that I will bring more benefits, more resources, and a higher status to Konoha. Those who offend Konoha, no matter how far away, shall be annihilated."
Those who offend Konoha, no matter how far away, shall be annihilated?
Is this your Will of Fire?
Looking at the passionate Kazuki, Hiruzen's expression was sowhat dazed. His political inclination was towards gentleness. There was no other way, Konoha's strength didn't allow it.
Since the deaths of Hashirama and Madara, Konoha only had Mito as a top powerhouse. But Mito was not soone he could command at will, and Mito also didn't want external wars, serving only as Konoha's last barrier. Even if Hiruzen wanted to expand his influence externally, he was willing but unable.
However, from Kazuki's words, it seems he wants the Will of Fire to burn throughout the entire Ninja World.
He rembered what Kazuki said before, that a single spark can start a prairie fire.
Now that he thinks back, perhaps this is Kazuki's Will of Fire?
"Those who offend Konoha, no matter how far away, shall be annihilated!"
Hearing Kazuki's words, Nawaki, Kazuki's staunch fan, imdiately echoed him.
For so reason, he felt that this sentence was particularly exciting, and he didn't even ntion that their Konoha pursued peace.
Even if Konoha pursues peace, will other villages also pursue peace?
During Kazuki's era, other villages wouldn't dare to do anything to Konoha, and there would probably be a long period of "peace" afterward.
But who can guarantee that after Kazuki is gone, they won't attack Konoha?
No, the longer Kazuki lives, the longer other villages are suppressed, and the future wars will be on a larger scale.
Just like how the First Great Ninja War quickly broke out after Hashirama's death.
Even Tobirama said this: the Ninja World needs war.
So Nawaki naturally supported Kazuki.
Where did this blockhead co from? Echoing him so directly?
This doesn't seem like the Will of Fire, at least not Hiruzen's Will of Fire. Many people still needed to ponder it carefully, but upon seeing that it was Nawaki, oh, then it's fine. This is the First Hokage's grandson, and if he approves of this Will of Fire, then Kazuki's is the Will of Fire.
