Both of them were shocked. Although there were already some speculations in their hearts, when Sandaime really made the decision, they still couldn't restrain themselves.

For any Konoha's Shinobi, Hokage is the peak they pursuit to get the recognition.

And the two of them saw the finish line while others are still climbing hard.

The eyes of the two met, and they said almost at the same time:

"Sōseki is the most suitable candidate!"

"I support Minato-nii!"

"Hehe, you two are so modest." With a smile in his eyes, Sandaime said cheerfully, "However, don't try to use each other as an excuse. Hokage is not just about power, but also a symbol of responsibility and obligation, only by putting people who are truly suitable for this title in this position will you be responsible to yourself and everyone in the village!"

"Now, don't be constrained by those worries and distracting thoughts, and tell me your answers again! "

The two of them thought for a while, and they both said decisively:

"No matter how I think, Sōseki is more suitable for me!"

"Minato-nii is more suitable than me!"

"You guys!" Sandaime didn't know whether to cry or laugh and shook his head helplessly, "If Danzō knowsthat the Hokage's position he had been thinking about all his life was pushed around like this by the two of you, he would probably go mad! Well, tell me about your thoughts carefully. Minato will do it first."

Minato said after a moment of silence, "My thoughts are actually very simple. That is, only the best can become the Hokage, and Sōseki is better than me, so he should become the Yondaime Hokage!"

"Better? This statement is too general." Sandaime was not satisfied with his answer.

Minato had no choice but to continue, "From the perspective of his contribution in the war, the medical scroll invented by Sōseki saved a lot of people in the war, and the alliance with Sunagakure that he facilitated brought the war on the Western Front to an early end. And then, his action of encircling and killing Mizukage brought the Third Shinobi World War to an end!"

"In terms of strength, Sōseki is also much stronger than me. As a Hokage, Sōseki can deter other villages from starting a war easily. As for popularity, Sōseki will definitely be recognized by more people than me!"

"No matter how I look at it, Sōseki is so much better than me!"

Sandaime still showed indifferent expression, and looked towards Sōseki, "Sōseki, what do you think?"

"My view is the exact opposite of Minato-nii. Many of my actions are actually immature." Sōseki said with a serious expression.

"Like the time when we allied ourselves with Sunagakure, I actually guessed that Kazekage's proposal was to intensify the conflict between Elder Danzō and me, but at that time, I did not see Elder Danzō pleasing to the eye, so I agreed with the situation without trying to refuse. "

"Although the final result is good, from the perspective of the situation at the time, it is indeed very risky. If Elder Danzō did not back down at that time, our conflict would be much bigger than that. I should have thought more carefully at that time!"

"The second is the action of encircling and killing Mizukage. Although it was fluke and even ended the war, but from the perspective of the leader, it is actually just my own will."

"If the action fails, not only we won't be able to get revenge, but everyone may also be trapped there, and it may even strengthen Kirigakure's determination to continue the war, which will lead to unimaginable bad consequences! From this point of view, I am too easily bound by emotions. For Kage, this is not a qualified quality!"

After a pause, Sōseki looked towards Minato with a sincere gaze, "I don't want to hide my desire to become the Hokage, but I am not mature enough right now. And, to let such a shallow me to become Hokage, it's not a good thing whether it's for me or Konoha! Therefore, Minato-nii, you should be the Yondaime Hokage!"

"Sōseki, you..." Seeing Sōseki's sincere gaze, Minato didn't know what to say for a while.

Sandaime sighed in the heart, 'I didn't expect that Sōseki never lost sight of himself.'

The two things Sōseki mentioned were actually what he was worried about.

'After being touted and praised by too many people, it is inevitable that there will be times when Sōseki cannot see himself clearly, but now, it seems that Sōseki is far more calm and sober than I thought.'

Sōseki secretly sighed, 'Unfortunately, it is not the time yet!'

Of course he wants to be the Hokage, but not now.

On one hand, he still needs to collect the chakra of the other four Bijū. It doesn't mean that he can't do it if he becomes the Hokage, but it will make his action limited.

On the other hand, what he wants to become is an unrestricted and unconstrained Hokage, not the Yondaime Hokage that is restricted in all aspects at the moment.

It must be known that even Sandaime is being restricted by the two Hokage's advisors and Danzō. So, if he is in position now, he will be more restricted.

In his vision, he needs an opportunity to break the structure of the higher-ups of Konoha, and when the middle and lower layers of Konoha are completely disappointed in them, he will stand up and establish the image of stood strongly against a crazy tide and shows his absolute authority.

It is precisely because of this that he would do such an absurd and shocking act of encircling and killing the Mizukage.

This action can not only make his reputation reach a height that is unattainable for ordinary people, but also allow him to use this as an excuse to push the Hokage's position away.

Seeing that both Minato and Sandaime were silent, Sōseki said with a smile again, "Speaking of which, I also have some careful thoughts of my own. If I can learn from the experience of Minato-nii when you serve as the Hokage as the Hokage's assistant, when I become Hokage, it will show a more perfect gesture in front of everyone!"

Hearing this, Sandaime nodded slightly, "Minato, you should agree. Sōseki is younger than you, so becoming the Godaime Hokage may be more suitable for him."

Seeing the two of them have already decided about this, Minato had no choice but to agree with a wry smile, "Okay, if Sōseki puts pressure on me, it can at least help me maintain a humble and cautious mentality."

Sandaime nodded in satisfaction, "Then it's settled. Tomorrow, I will go to Damyō-sama with some advisors to discuss the matter about Yondaime Hokage."

Sōseki looked to the side with a smile, "Should I congratulate you for becoming the Hokage in advance, Minato-nii?"

Minato said helplessly, "Sōseki, you are obviously more suitable to be the Hokage than me... Well, when you think you're suitable to become the Hokage, I'll go to Daimyō to resign!"

Sōseki pretended to be angry, "Minato-nii, how can you think about resigning as soon as you become the Hokage? You should make yourself as strong as possible, so that I have the motivation to catch up"

Minato thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are right. Since I sit in that position, I should be responsible for everyone, I couldn't just shirk irresponsibly."

Seeing this harmonious scene, Sandaime secretly sighed, 'As expected of the two people who have truly understood the Will of Fire!"

At first, he was worried that the two of them would be like Danzō, being grumpy for not being the Hokage, but now it seems that he is just completely overthinking.
