Chapter 756: Two Hokages in One Village, the Uchiha's Revival
"Lord Clan Head, the news is absolutely true. It was spoken by Lord Sixth Hokage himself!"
In the Uchiha clan's compound, in the clan head's conference room, the first-generation clan head of the Uchiha looked at the other clan heads. The joy on his face was almost uncontrollable.
"Does this count as a success?" The clan head looked at the others, and then Fugaku stood up.
In Itachi's absence, Fugaku, this great clan head, although his strength was not necessarily the strongest among the successive clan heads, his words definitely held a certain authority. After all, Itachi was his son, and Sasuke was also his son.
Everyone looked at Fugaku. Fugaku also had a smile on his face. "If Sasuke successfully becomes the new Hokage, then for us, the Uchiha clan's long-cherished wish for many years has finally been fulfilled."
Smiles were on everyone's faces. Indeed, since the establishment of Konoha Village, there had never been an Uchiha clan member as Hokage. The original Second Hokage should have been Madara Uchiha, but Madara couldn't wait and started a war with Hashirama ahead of time, which also led to the decisive battle at the Valley of the End. Although he was ultimately defeated, the Uchiha's contribution to this village of Konoha was also huge.
At the same time, the original Hokage was actually referring to Madara. After all, Hashirama was a Wood Release ninja; he didn't even know Fire Release. Even if he did, the power of his Fire Release couldn't be compared to Madara Uchiha's. So the first Hokage was actually referring to Madara, but Hashirama was pushed to the position of Hokage for some reason. And now, a member of the Uchiha clan had finally taken back the Hokage position that belonged to them!
"Then do we still need to leave Konoha Village?" Hearing this, the others were taken aback. Yes! Was it still necessary?
Just as they were thinking, another ninja came to report.
"Reporting to all Lord Clan Heads, the Sixth Hokage has already decided to let Sasuke also become Hokage. This way, Konoha will become the first ninja village to be managed by two Hokages at the same time!"
Two Hokages? Hearing this, all the Uchiha clan heads were taken aback. What did this mean? Two Hokages? Two Hokages in one village, what was this? Was it just to appease Sasuke, or to win him over, a deliberately given empty title of Hokage? If that were the case, then those people in Konoha were indeed too despicable. This time, in the Akatsuki invasion, Lord Sasuke had made countless contributions, and in the end, he only got a title with no substance?
"What on earth are the people of Konoha thinking? Are they trying to humiliate our Uchiha clan like this?" One of the clan heads stood up and said, his face looking quite ugly. After all, in this Great Ninja War, the Uchiha clan had dispatched many ninja. If even this couldn't make the people of Konoha look at their Uchiha clan with new eyes, then it would be better to just leave Konoha and re-establish a ninja village belonging to the Uchiha.
"Lord Clan Heads, you seem to have misunderstood!" Just as he was speaking, the ninja who had come to report said somewhat awkwardly.
All eyes gathered on him. "According to the Sixth Hokage's meaning, it seems that Lord Sasuke will govern Konoha together with him!"
"In other words, in the future, all major and minor affairs of Konoha Village will need to be discussed between the Sixth Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, and the new Sixth Hokage, Sasuke Uchiha!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the crowd softened a little. If that were the case, then it wasn't called humiliation. Instead, this Lord Sixth Hokage was truly magnanimous, to be willing to share half of his power! Indeed, only in this way could the matter of two Hokages in one village become a reality, and not just talk.
"And the Sixth Hokage seems to be willing to hand over the Anbu ninja to our Uchiha clan to manage!"
"And to transfer the one and a half million ninja forces stationed in the north of the Land of Fire to Lord Sasuke's control!"
Hearing this, all the clan heads were instantly excited. If he was even willing to hand over the ninja forces, then it seemed he really wanted to establish a system of two Hokages in one village. And if there were no accidents, then one of the next Hokages would definitely be a ninja from the Uchiha clan. This was basically destined.
"Did Sasuke agree?" According to Fugaku's understanding of Sasuke, although he had grown up a lot, Sasuke's inner pride might not necessarily agree. But he had clearly underestimated Sasuke.
"Lord Sasuke has already completely agreed, and the Hokage succession ceremony is about to be held!"
Now was wartime, so everything was simplified. Once the news of two Hokages in one village spread, it would also be of great help to the Great Ninja War. After all, Sasuke's reputation was not small!
Becoming Hokage meant that if other villages wanted to make a move on Konoha, they would inevitably be at odds with Sasuke Uchiha. In the current shinobi world, just hearing the name Sasuke Uchiha was enough to scare off many people.
At this moment, Sasuke arrived on the roof of the Hokage building. Naruto handed a deep blue conical hat to Sasuke. This color was just like the clothes worn by the Uchiha clan members, usually deep blue. On it was a large character for "Fire," and at the same time, Sasuke's official robes were also deep blue, with the words "Sixth Hokage" on them.
Sasuke and Naruto appeared on the rooftop of the Hokage building at the same time. And below, on the streets everywhere, a large number of Konoha ninja, and even Konoha civilians, emerged, extremely excited.
"Two Hokages!"
"Does Konoha now have two Lord Hokages?"
Looking at Sasuke and Naruto standing side by side, one gave off a cold feeling, while the other gave off a sense of security and reliability. But when the two of them stood together, it gave people a strange feeling, as if with these two present, no matter what trouble they encountered, it would eventually be easily resolved.
Countless ninja were cheering. Sasuke could also see in the crowd a group of people wearing Uchiha clothes with the Uchiha clan crest. They had also all come to attend this temporary Hokage succession ceremony of his. Sasuke's strength no longer needed much demonstration. With just a word from Naruto, these people had all come spontaneously. He hadn't specifically called them. This was enough to show how high Sasuke's prestige was in Konoha. After all, who wouldn't want a powerful ninja to protect their safety?
Now that Konoha had two Hokages, so what if the four great shinobi nations joined forces to attack? They were still no match for these two before them.
"Sasuke, congratulations on becoming the second Sixth Hokage of Konoha besides me!"
The feeling of becoming Hokage was stranger than Sasuke had imagined. In an instant, it was as if he had gained something. This thing was called responsibility. Since he had chosen to be Hokage, he had to consider the safety of Konoha. It seemed that he would no longer be able to act as he pleased in the future. At the very least, any long-term absence from Konoha would have to be reported to Naruto in advance.
