Naruto Law of the Devil

Chapter 112: Potential Candidates

"It can be said... Orochimaru is indeed a talented genius in these turbulent times."

"However, malice and ambition hide in his eyes, and the weight of the Hokage's responsibility cannot be entrusted to such a person."

Seeing the eyes of everyone present focused on him, Lord Third, after a brief contemplation, stood up from his seat and spoke.

Although Orochimaru was once his most promising disciple, in recent years, Orochimaru's path had veered further and further away from Lord Third's initial expectations. Moreover, Orochimaru had colluded with Danzo in secret.

With a heavy heart, and possessing the will of the Fire, Lord Third absolutely could not allow Konoha, painstakingly built by the previous Hokages, to fall into the hands of individuals like Danzo and Orochimaru.

"Lord Third!"

Just as it seemed that Orochimaru, his collaborator, was about to be pushed into the seat of Hokage. Danzo couldn't help but stand up. But Before he could say anything Sarutobi cut him off.

"I recommend Minato Namikaze."

Ignoring Danzo's opposition who had stood up on the side, Lord Third continued to speak, expressing his ideal candidate.

"Jiraiya's disciple, and thus my grand student."

Hearing Lord Third's proposed candidate, another Konoha elder, Utatane Koharu, spoke up to supplement, "He is an elite ninja known as the Yellow Flash. Indeed, he is a good choice."

At this point, another high-ranking Konoha official, Mitokado Homura, also spoke up. "Oh? The Yellow Flash?"

Hearing Lord Third's recommended candidate, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, sitting in the main seat, brightened. The ministers of the Land of Fire present began to whisper among themselves.

Indeed, compared to the gloomy and ruthless Orochimaru, Minato Namikaze, the bright and positive Yellow Flash, seemed more fitting for the positive image expected of the leader of one of the Five Great Ninja Villages. The title of the Yellow Flash had risen like a comet on the battlefield in recent years, and almost everyone in the ninja world knew about it. In terms of strength, he had already reached the level of a Kage.

"But Minato is still too young!"

Seeing that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the ministers were about to be persuaded by Lord Third, Danzo became anxious.

"Minato won the victory at the battle of kikyo pass, a significant contributor to bringing the Third Ninja World War to an end.

"If you think he's too young, then the alternative candidate I recommend will surely surprise you."

Danzo, as expected, stood up to oppose Lord Third, but Lord Third interrupted Danzo's words and placed a document on the conference table in front of everyone.

"What is this?!"

Seeing the document Lord Third placed on the table, everyone present was stunned.

"Lord Third... In the past year, the death rate of Konoha Ninja in the hospital is only 10%?!"

Taking the document in front of him and flipping through the recorded data, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire showed a look of shock on his face.

"Yes, and the data also shows that the death rate of Konoha ninjas during missions has decreased by nearly sixty percentage points compared to before. It's truly astonishing data."

Similarly, looking at this data report in front of them, another minister of the Land of Fire couldn't help but express surprise.

"Hehe..."
