Naruto: Who had the chance to counterattack and become the Fourth Hokage?
I think White Fang’s suicide itself is a symbol of giving up on the political game.
The public opinion of Konoha villagers can actually force a Kage-level powerhouse to commit suicide? How ridiculous. Look at the three generations of Tsuchikage and the past generations of Raikage. Isn't there anyone who objects to their blatant hereditary position of Kage? Will the villagers say anything?
It can only be said that the Third Hokage believed that White Fang was too much of a threat. Don't say that the Third Hokage is a good guy and Danzo is a bad guy. It's just public opinion. If the Third Hokage has the intention, he can completely put it out instead of letting the public opinion get bigger and bigger.
The existence of Minato and the Sannin made it impossible for the Third Generation to let White Fang become the first choice. Instead, White Fang, who rose to fame in the war, was so accomplished that he naturally became a thorn in the side of the Third Hokage.
His suicide can only be said that no one expected that a film-level person would be knocked down by public opinion. However, if White Fang does not die, he will be hit by the Third Hokage. It is only a matter of time.
As long as Minato is here, everything is in vain. The inheritance of Naruto is in accordance with the Basic Law ~ In terms of strength, Minato's strength is enough to defy the sky. Unless his military exploits and prestige are strong enough, it is possible. In the case of World War II, the third generation There is no reason to quit, but it will be up to Minato to see who has a good record after 3 battles
When the Fourth Raid faced the golden-bodied Naruto, he publicly said that the last son of the prophecy was Minato. This is more than ten years later, and I still remember this. It can be seen that under the propaganda of the writer Jiraiya, the reputation of the fourth generation as the son of the prophecy resounded throughout the ninja world, let alone Konoha. Everyone wanted to see it The changes he brought about.
As long as Minato is here, he cannot be qualified.
In terms of strength, Minato is the only ninja who gets the treatment of "Run away if you see him, don't worry you won't be punished". The whole book is like this. His intimidation was unparalleled at the time.
White Fang is naturally not bad either, leaving Scorpion as an orphan and surpassing the three ninjas who earned the title of sannin. Explain why it's so convoluted. Because the strength of the Sannin is also gradually improving, the Sannin we see is definitely stronger than the Sannin when White Fang was alive. In terms of hard power, White Fang is definitely considered the first echelon of Konoha, but there is still a gap compared to the upper limit of a mortal like Minato.
The Hokage of Konoha can be said to be inherited.
