****************
In the end, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane decided to meet Colt before making a decision.
The role of a Hokage was a big deal and wouldn't be settled just on Jiraiya's word alone.
Jiraiya was overjoyed to see that he was temporarily out of the crisis, and was about to go find Colt immediately.
Meanwhile, Colt received Hiashi's invitation after the memorial ceremony was over.
"The elders of the clan want to see you."
After Hiashi finished speaking, Colt's first reaction was to refuse.
He never liked these old-fashioned types. They were stubborn and most likely stuck in their demented perspectives…
But Hiashi was his father-in-law, after all, so he still had to act respectfully.
Also, he should give an explanation for what happened between him and Hinata at any rate.
The two returned to the Hyuga compound together.
Along the way, Hiashi also talked about the temperaments and preferences of many elders.
Although Colt was listening, it all went in one ear and out the other.
He understood Hiashi's concerns, but he would protect Hinata in his own way.
As soon as the door of the main hall opened, four pairs of white eyes stared at the door in unison.
The scene was slightly unnerving…
Colt remained silent but raised his guard slightly, ready to strike at any time.
But what happened next greatly exceeded his expectations.
"Colt-san, you're here. Come in quickly."
"As expected of a hero, so accomplished at such a young age."
"Yes, even the Fourth Hokage pales in comparison to you!"
"Unfortunately... my daughter is already fifty, otherwise I'd offer her instead of Hinata."
These four old men who were nearly in their graves praised Colt with every word they uttered.
Even Colt, who had a flexible moral compass, blushed.
Weren't the Hyuga elders supposed to be very conservative? How could they seem so reasonable at this moment?
Their words showed absolutely no intention to stop him and Hinata from being together.
On the contrary, there was a bit of hidden urgency in their words.
"However, Hinata is our princess, and you two do suit each other,"
"Colt-san, although you are still young, it's always good to get engaged first and then think of the rest later. What do you think?" an elder said with a smile.
According to Hiashi, this man, named Zezhen, was the chief elder of the family, and his power was no less than that of the clan head.
But now, he completely had the image of a kindly old neighbor.
"This…"
Colt thought about it for a while, but still told them about Ino.
There was no clear rule of monogamy in the ninja world, but the identities of Hinata and Ino were somewhat special after all.
Several elders looked at each other, and Hyuga Zezhen still asked:
"Does the Yamanaka family know?"
Recalling Inoichi Yamanaka's helpless expression despite gritting his teeth, Colt nodded.
"Inoichi-san already knows about it."
"Then our Hyuga family is fine with it."
Things worked out more smoothly than expected.
For the Hyuga family, in fact, they had no choice.
That day, they saw Colt's ability to kill Orochimaru in seconds, as well as Jiraiya's casual attitude towards him.
Several elders knew that they couldn't afford to be against this young man.
Although the Hyuga family was the largest clan in Konoha, in terms of strength, they didn't have the possibility of rebellion like the previous Uchiha clan.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have easily surrendered under the advice of the Third Hokage and Danzo back then.
Today's Colt had no official status on the surface, but everyone knew that he must be the future ruler of Konoha.
Even if he didn't become a Hokage, did they want to be the enemy of such a strong man?
Just marrying off a daughter of the clan was a small price to pay.
As for the Caged Bird Seal?
Preposterous!
Wouldn't that be like they were trying to control the future Mrs. Hokage?
Even if the elders were being stupid and pedantic, they wouldn't even entertain such thoughts.
The atmosphere was very harmonious with the deliberate cooperation of the elders who had grown old and mellowed.
Hiashi also had a smile on his face.
Although the eldest daughter would be married off, he was happy because she would be.
However, there was also another thing.
His second daughter wouldn't need to be marked with the Caged Bird Seal.
She could always stay by his side.
But then a thought rose in his head.
'Was it possible that Colt could take both of his daughters and marry them? This brat already took the Yamanaka girl too…'
At this moment, a branch house guard suddenly came in from outside the door.
"Elders, Clan Head, Lord Jiraiya is waiting outside."
When they heard of Jiraiya's visit, the expressions of these several people became eager.
"Quick, bring him in."
The branch house guard quickly went out and brought Jiraiya in.
Hyuga Zezhen wanted to say a few words, but Jiraiya didn't have time for pleasantries.
"Brat, it took me a long time to find out that you're here. Come with me, Konoha's two advisors are waiting for you."
He wanted to rush this kid to settle the Hokage matter now.
Otherwise, if it really focused back on him, he wouldn't be able to stop crying.
Colt was also relieved when he heard the words and left with Jiraiya after saying goodbye.
Although the old men had behaved very politely, he still wasn't quite used to this hypocritical occasion.
After the two left, the room fell into a brief silence.
"What do you think those two advisors want with him?" an elder spoke up, a little puzzled.
Hyuga Zezhen's face was solemn: "What do you think is the most important thing in the village right now?"
Everyone looked at each other and said in unison, "The new Hokage!"
Hiashi's expression was very excited.
Could it be that his soon to be son-in-law was about to become the Hokage?
**********
"Brat, I really don't get it. We're both so handsome and strong."
"Why can you get two of them, and I can't even get one?"
Jiraiya looked at Colt enviously, with indignation in his words.
He had also learned a lot about Colt from Naruto.
The two future village beauties of Konoha had been in Colt's pocket since childhood.
And he, Jiraiya, had known that fierce 'woman' since childhood, but why was he rejected almost every day?
"Jiraiya-san, you know yourself well."
Colt said very seriously, and deliberately looked at Jiraiya's face for a while.
With that level, how dare he compare himself with him?
Jiraiya understood the look in his eyes, and was a little exasperated.
"But you've got two at once!"
Why was there such a big gap between them?
"Let me teach you a truth today," Colt said earnestly as the two came to the Hokage building.
Jiraiya found himself listening despite his old age.
"What's that?"
"Only the ugly people are called lustful."
"If you're good-looking and talented, you're not lewd, it's called being affectionate."
After speaking, Colt walked in.
And Jiraiya's whole body turned gray.
He remembered what Naruto called him all the time.
Was that the reason?
Colt knocked on the office door, and there was a voice calling them to come in.
Pushing open the door, Colt walked in directly.
At first glance, he saw the two old people in the main seats, and Colt also knew their identities.
Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane were also looking at him.
Strong in ability and excellent in appearance, the only thing that worried them was his age.
The two asked Colt to stand aside and communicated in low voices.
At this moment, Jiraiya walked in.
"Well, what do you think?"

****************
"What's going on?" Colt asked Jiraiya in a low voice.
When he came here, he was thinking this old man might have had some tasks for him.
But then, it seemed like he met the two Hokage counselors… Also, why was the current atmosphere a little strange?
"Nothing much, just some good news for you," Jiraiya smiled slyly.
"Kamiyo Colt, would you like to be the Fifth Hokage of Konoha?" Homura Mitokado asked very seriously.
Colt despite guessing this from the current events, was startled. Him, the Fifth Hokage?
Homura sighed, looked at Colt, and continued:
"Now that Konoha is in ruins, the village urgently needs a Hokage to calm people's hearts. Our initial candidate was Jiraiya."
"But Jiraiya recommended you, and Hiruzen valued you greatly during his lifetime, as he was clearly grooming you as his successor."
Homura sighed again. "Although your age and qualifications are lacking, we can't be too picky during these special circumstances. I called you here today just to hear your thoughts."
Colt frowned and looked at Jiraiya.
'So, you're the one who sold me out?'
In truth, Colt wasn't opposed to being Hokage. Fame and fortune were best enjoyed while young. Now that he had the strength, he should also get the status he deserved. Otherwise, how would anyone know he was awesome?
However, being Hokage now was definitely not what Colt wanted. Although the Third was gone, the two elders and Danzo before him were still watching closely. Even if he became Hokage, he'd be restrained by them.
Colt wasn't Tsunade, and his prestige in the village couldn't compare at all. Unless he directly eliminated the three old men and suppressed all dissent with an iron fist. Or he could also become another Minato Namikaze.
Instead, he had the plan of letting Tsunade return to pave the way for him and finally take over comfortably. Wouldn't that be awesome?
After working through this logic, Colt was ready to refuse.
"Actually..."
"I object!" The door was violently pushed open as Danzo walked in using his crutch.
"Homura, Koharu, I think you've lost your minds. How can you hand over the Hokage position to such an inexperienced brat?"
While speaking, he glanced at Colt with clear disdain.
Homura and Koharu's faces also turned ugly.
One of them responded.
"Then, Danzo, who do you think should be chosen? Jiraiya?"
"Don't drag me into this, I won't do it," Jiraiya immediately refused.
Danzo's eyes lit up in anger.
'Me, pick me!'
'You two old fools are blind; Can't you see a great man like me right here?' Danzo roared frantically in his mind, but he couldn't say it out loud.
He had to target Colt again.
"Kamiyo Colt, do you think you're worthy of the position of the Hokage? Young people should be ambitious, but not so much."
"Also, where did your Sharingan come from?"
At this point, he deeply regretted not forcing Colt to leave the Third's side earlier.
Even if it meant killing him. He never expected the civilian genius he looked down on would not only have the Senju bloodline but also the Sharingan.
Very quickly, he became the obstacle preventing him from becoming Hokage.
Colt smiled and said, "Who are you? Are you someone I should know about? You don't look like it…"
Jiraiya's face flushed as he tried not to laugh out loud.
"You!" Danzo was about to explode in anger, but he held back.
In the village, his reputation wasn't as prominent as the Third's and the two elders'. Colt was just a Genin, so it was impossible for him to know Danzo's identity.
"This old man is the leader of Root. Someone like you of course doesn't deserve to know my status."
"Oh~" Colt said in sudden realization, "I heard the Third mention there's a special Root team in the ANBU."
Danzo groaned his expression furious.
This was indeed true - technically, Root did belong to the ANBU. But Root had always followed his own leadership, completely outside of the ANBU's jurisdiction. Even after being disbanded by the Third, the seals on his people's tongues hadn't been lifted.
Unexpectedly, Colt's expression changed as he yelled:
"You're just an ANBU squad leader, what are you doing lecturing me, a Hokage candidate!"
"Pfft!" Jiraiya finally couldn't hold it in anymore and shook with suppressed laughter.
"You!" This time, Danzo's hand shook with rage. How many years had it been since anyone dared to talk to him like this?
Homura and Koharu's faces twitched. This kid really had the guts to say that, but from his perspective, there was actually nothing wrong with what he said. They couldn't blame him for anything.
In the end, Koharu stepped in to introduce Danzo's true identity. Only then did Colt snort coldly and stopped paying attention to Danzo.
"Anyway, I never said I wanted to be the Hokage. I'm still too young and need more experience."
As soon as he said this, Koharu and Homura felt much more goodwill towards Colt. Such a humble young man was indeed suitable to be a Hokage.
If Colt knew their thoughts, he would definitely laugh out loud. Hadn't he chosen to appear weak to avoid this simple and petty power struggle?
Even Danzo's gaze towards Colt softened a bit.
"Kid, if you don't become the Hokage, no one else is suitable. I was wrong about you."
Jiraiya grew anxious.
Colt glanced at him. "I remember, there should be another Sannin..."
Hearing this, everyone except Danzo's eyes lit up.
That's right! How could they forget about her?
If it was her, not only would the current chaos in Konoha be quickly sorted out, but she could even take the village to new heights. And when it came to medical ninjutsu, who could compare to her?
"Yeah, why did I forget about her?" Jiraiya smiled.
"Hmph, do you even know where she is?" Danzo poured cold water on their enthusiasm.
As long as Tsunade didn't return, he could still be the Hokage!
"I remember hearing on a mission before that the 'Legendary Sucker' was seen near Tanzaku Town. She should still be in that area."
Just as everyone was contemplating, Colt casually shattered Danzo's fantasy again.
In truth, how could he know where Tsunade was if hadn't seen the original? But he knew that this time Jiraiya would definitely be able to bring Tsunade back.
Jiraiya's eyes lit up.
"That's right, Tsunade will definitely be frequenting the casinos. If we follow that line of thinking, we'll find her sooner or later!"
The two elders were also convinced and looked at each other. "Without further ado, this task is up to you, Jiraiya."
"No problem, but I'm taking a certain two people with me."
After speaking, he looked at Colt mischievously.
