Chapter 201: Since it's already Boruto, it's quite reasonable for Naruto, the protagonist of Naruto Next Generations, to die, right?
Besides that, the only thing that can be won over is the votes of the Uchiha clan. Judging from the situation in Kitahara Kaede's diary, Uchiha Shisui can definitely be won over as Hokage. Add Uchiha Itachi as well, and even the complicated Uchiha Fugaku will have to stand on his side.
With the support of these top-tier combatants, he could attempt to suppress the advisory elders and truly gain the power of the Hokage.
Only in this way can he realize his ambitions, ultimately eradicate the darkness of Konoha, and change the future of the village.
To prevent future tragedies from repeating themselves, he must climb step by step to the top; he wants to become Hokage!
Despite his sunny disposition, which seems to bring warmth to everyone, he is not a soft-hearted or indecisive person. He has never hesitated to slaughter ninjas from other villages on the battlefield.
The only hesitation I've ever felt in my life was probably the dilemma of choosing between my wife and my son.
However, all of this comes with a prerequisite: he must find a way to survive the night of the Nine-Tails, as the elusive Uchiha Kenji puts a lot of pressure on him.
Although he successfully defeated him in the original history, the damage he caused was irreversible, and he even paid with his life in the end. It's not an IF timeline where there's a seventh-generation son to save him.
However, as the saying goes, battles between ninjas are intelligence battles, and since he already knew that this situation might occur, he couldn't possibly not take any precautions.
We can call Jiraiya back then, and also have the Third Hokage oversee things together.
Then there will be three complete Kage-level fighters. Even if the opponent is really Uchiha Madara, I am confident that I can fight him.
In addition, you need to further enhance your combat power, and Sage Mode is a very good way to do so.
Before the Third Shinobi World War begins, I must go to Mount Myōboku and learn the Sage Mode there. This will greatly increase my chances of winning the war.
For this reason, he was very pleased to see that the future Kakashi Hatake was on the right track. Compared to the flashy Konoha technicians, the Second Konoha White Fang was actually more suitable for his future path.
If Kakashi grows up, then there will be a reliable candidate for the next Hokage, and Konoha will only become stronger and stronger in the foreseeable future.
Suddenly, he saw that the diary had been updated again.
However, if he can really make a breakthrough in the Hatake swordsmanship, then there's no need to argue all the time about who is the weakest Hokage of all time. Anyway, he definitely isn't, hahaha. But actually, there's really no need to argue anymore, because Kakashi has met his biggest rival in his Hokage career, the Eighth Hokage, Nara Shikamaru. Compared to Nara Shikamaru, Kakashi is actually quite strong.
In a way, Shikamaru and Kakashi were both transitional Hokage. When choosing the Sixth Hokage, the most suitable candidate, Naruto, was too young and only had reckless thoughts in his mind. He had not received any formal Hokage training and had no Hokage mindset. He was only suitable to be a spearhead.
When Naruto got into trouble and Konoha urgently needed to select the Eighth Hokage, the next generation's Sarutobi Konohamaru wasn't strong enough, and the strong Uzumaki Boruto was forced to become a rogue ninja. Uchiha Sarada couldn't pass the political review, hahahahahaha.
Speaking of which, this kid is really unlucky. His ancestor, Uchiha Madara, failed in his rebellion and was suppressed. His grandfather, Uchiha Fugaku, also failed in his rebellion and died at the hands of his uncle, Uchiha Itachi. His uncle, Uchiha Itachi, was a rogue ninja, and his father, Uchiha Sasuke, was also a rogue ninja for a period of time. With all this, he's definitely not going to pass the political review.
Given that she was the same age as Boruto Uzumaki at the time, too young to be Hokage, Shikamaru was ultimately chosen.
When Minato Namikaze saw the details, his brows furrowed and his face turned extremely grim.
His first shock was that Konoha was already at the point of electing the Eighth Hokage. The pace of generational change was too fast; in the next thirty or forty years at most, there would be four more Hokage.
In other words, the average Hokage in the future will not serve for more than ten years. In fact, if it weren't for the Third Hokage's exceptionally long tenure, which extended the average Hokage lifespan, very few of the remaining Hokage in Konoha's history would have served for such a long time.
Nara Shikamaru knew about it; he had appeared in the video of Kitahara Kaede's diary before. It was the part where he fought against Kakuzu and Hidan under Kakashi's leadership. He successfully used his intelligence to fool Hidan, who was not very bright and only had reckless thoughts, and buried him alive in a deep pit.
He may not die, because of some power of that evil god that he will suffer in the earth for eternity.
It can be said that this almost perfectly matches his stereotype of the Nara clan: they are intelligent, truly intelligent.
He had also worked with Nara Shikaku of the Nara clan, who was the same age as him, and had a deep understanding of his ability to plan battles. His high-IQ fighting style was indeed different from his own.
Furthermore, since the Nara clan has produced many highly intelligent geniuses throughout history, they often appear as assistants to the Hokage.
The Ino-Shika-Cho trio have a good relationship with the Sarutobi clan, so the Nara clan usually holds high positions. For example, the current Jonin squad leader is not one of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha, nor is he the one who rose to fame, but rather the current head of the Nara clan.
He never expected that Nara Shikamaru would become the Eighth Hokage in the future, and that Konoha would once again face a talent shortage.
What bothered him most was that Nara Shikamaru became the Eighth Hokage only after Naruto, the Seventh Hokage, was in trouble.
The strength of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto, was fully demonstrated in that IF timeline video. It can be said that it completely exceeded his father's understanding and surpassed the scope of Kage level. He definitely had the so-called super Kage level strength mentioned in Kitahara Kaede's diary.
How could someone with such strength possibly have an accident?
Who could possibly cause an accident to happen to him?
Minato Namikaze instantly thought of the Otsutsuki clan, a god-like race that Kitahara Kaede always talked about.
It seems that Kitahara Kaede's diary also mentions that Naruto in the future was beaten up by Otsutsuki Isshiki. Even in the IF timeline video, there is a scene of Naruto Uzumaki at his peak, seventeen years old, fighting against that bald man with braids with Sasuke Uchiha.
Judging from the aura emanating from the three of them, it was absolutely terrifying, far beyond human imagination.
Thinking about all this, Minato Namikaze, as a father, felt very anxious. Although he knew he couldn't help Naruto in the future, he was still anxious.
But at least on my own timeline, on this timeline where the future may have already been altered, I can't let that happen again.
And how come his eldest grandson, Boruto Uzumaki, is wanted? How could he possibly be a rogue ninja?
What does it mean to be forced to become a rogue ninja?
Was it because after Naruto's accident, some dark force in the village forced him to become a rogue ninja?
He had heard of such things before, which made him even more worried and furious.
He, who was always good-tempered, couldn't help but darken his face when he thought about how his eldest grandson might be ostracized in the future.
"Will something happen to Naruto in the future?"
Jiraiya was stunned. He knew Naruto's strength perfectly well, as demonstrated in the video, which showed that even a being like the Nine-Tails could be easily subdued.
Will something happen to him?
So who is the possible opponent?
Who else in the entire ninja world could pose a fatal threat to him?
The legendary Otsutsuki clan, perhaps?
Jiraiya suddenly realized something and remembered what Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were talking about in the IF storyline video that Kitahara Kaede had previously shown.
It's about Naruto Next Generations, not Boruto!
In other words, in Kitahara Kaede's understanding, the time period is roughly divided into Naruto and Boruto!
Naruto at seventeen was the absolute protagonist in Naruto Next Generations, so why did it later become Boruto?
As an author himself, and a bestselling one at that, Jiraiya keenly recognized some issues with word choice.
"So, in Kitahara Kaede's mind, these past few years have been the Naruto era, with Naruto as the sole protagonist. But after this period, has the whole world entered the so-called Boruto era? Has the protagonist changed from Naruto to Boruto?"
Jiraiya muttered to himself.
If we think about it from the author's perspective, it seems like we can find a solution, because Naruto is actually the name of the protagonist in his book, which was later used for Minato's child.
Therefore, in Kitahara Kaede's worldview, since a second-generation male protagonist has appeared in the world, the original male protagonist, even if he is the savior of the world, must step down and take a backseat.
The method of elimination was none other than starting with Naruto's accident.
Naruto got into trouble, and his son Boruto was forced to become a rogue ninja.
So, what exactly happened in the future?
He flipped back to his previous diary entries, where Boruto Uzumaki's records were written: "Standing before you now is Naruto with killing intent, Sasuke without pretense, Minato returning home, Jiraiya with information, Itachi in good health, Kaguya with experience, Itachi's wanted poster, the pain surpassing Pain, Naruto's talk-no-jutsu, plus Sasuke's aura, Naruto's appearance, and Kakashi's calmness—a super villain, Boruto Otsutsuki!"
One of them was a wanted poster for Uchiha Itachi. He was already puzzled as to why Uchiha Ryo's wanted poster was mentioned out of the blue. It turned out that all the clues had been laid long ago. Every sentence in Kitahara Kaede's diary that seemed like a joke or nonsense actually contained a huge amount of information.
He only realized the seriousness of the problem when he looked back at it now.
In fact, Kitahara Kaede had long ago buried the information that Uzumaki Boruto would be wanted as a rogue ninja in his diary, but he had always overlooked it.
