Chapter 1 I'm Going to Become Hokage!

Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)
library.
As the administrator, Mochizuki Souji was sitting at the front desk, leisurely handling the borrowing and returning of books.
"Today is the last day of my administrator career, and I'm really going to miss it!"
Mochizuki Souji sighed.
Just then, a blond-haired man and a red-haired man walked into the library.
Despite sporting an incredibly arrogant head of blond hair, this person wasn't the kind of reckless young man riding a ghost fire; rather, he was a kind and gentle young man.
Minato Namikaze, the future Fourth Hokage.
The red-haired woman holding his arm was naturally his girlfriend, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Kushina.
Minato first nodded politely to Souji.
"Brother Chief."
"You're here? Minato."
Mochizuki Souji replied with a smile.
"You take your girlfriend everywhere you go. There should be a limit to how much you show affection."
"Ha ha..."
Minato scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, while Kushina generously said:
"We're very much in love! What's wrong with showing affection?"
"Hmph, it's a good thing I have a girlfriend, otherwise you guys would really be showing off to me to death." Souji joked casually.
Minato and his companion quickly selected a few books and took them to the front desk to register with the headmaster for borrowing.
"The Land of Wind's Chronicles, Sunagakure's Culture and Beliefs, Sunagakure's 100 Greatest Ninja... Minato, are you going to join the war?"
"Yes, the Hokage has arranged for me to go to the Land of Rain to participate in the war and assist Jiraiya-sensei."
"I see. Then Konoha will have two Kage-level shinobi overseeing the battlefront in the Land of Rain."
Upon hearing Souji's assessment of him as a Kage-level shinobi, Minato looked terrified and waved his hand, saying:
"Brother Souji is joking. I'm just an assistant teacher, how could I be considered a Kage-level powerhouse!"
"Since you have the strength, don't be modest. Your strength is definitely no less than any of the Five Kage."
The commander gave a curt reprimand, then added:
"Minato, do you want to become Hokage?"
Minato was slightly taken aback, quite surprised that Souji had suddenly asked this question.
"Of course we want to, everyone in Konoha wants to become Hokage."
"I'm not asking anyone else, I'm asking you, Minato. Do you want to become Hokage?"
Minato paused again, then said with a serious expression:
"I want to become Hokage!"
At this moment, Kushina next to her also raised her hand and shouted loudly:
"I want to become Hokage too!"
"Kushina..."
Minato looked at his girlfriend with doting eyes.
The commander looked at the couple with doting eyes, as if they were his younger brother and sister-in-law.
"So you really want to become Hokage too, but sorry, Minato."
The commander gave himself a thumbs-up with a confident smile on his face.
"I will become Hokage!"
"Sōji-nii, you..."
Having known each other since childhood for over ten years, Minato's impression of Souji has always been that of a kind and gentle older brother next door, as well as an intellectual with unique insights into many things.
This was the first time he had ever heard such a domineering declaration come from this person.
Although Souji was only a novice chunin.
However, out of respect for the commander and his own gentle nature, Minato naturally wouldn't tactlessly deny anything.
"Let's work together!"
Minato nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and then left with Kushina.
"They don't take me seriously..."
The commander gave a slight, bitter smile.
It seems that Minato took his domineering declaration as the same "I want to become Hokage" that everyone in Konoha shouts, or as a word of encouragement to him.
Although it is only natural, who would take seriously a Chunin who spends his life in the library who suddenly boasts that he wants to become Hokage?
"I've endured all this shame, this grown man shouting like a child, 'I want to become Hokage!' and this kid doesn't even take me seriously! How infuriating!"
"However... I'm serious, Minato. The position of Hokage is too complicated for you to handle!" Souji murmured.
Mochizuki Souji was once an ordinary person on Earth in modern times. One night, he was transported to another world and opened his eyes to find himself as a newborn baby in the Naruto world.
The Mochizuki family has only a few members and cannot even be called a small ninja clan; they are just an ordinary commoner ninja family.
This is Mochizuki Souji's background.
The most special thing is probably that the neighbor next door to the Mochizuki family is named Namikaze, and when Souji was two years old, he had a son named Namikaze Minato.
As a time traveler, Souji is well aware of the later developments in Naruto.
Although Minato shone brightly in the Third Shinobi World War and became the Fourth Hokage, enjoying immense prestige for a time.
However, in just one year, Minato would suffer Obito's unreasonable betrayal and treachery, and ultimately die along with his wife Kushina on the night their son Naruto was born.
Although this was essentially an operation targeting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, it had little to do with whether Minato was the Fourth Hokage.
However, Obito was able to succeed mainly because he was too careless and arranged too few guards for Kushina.
Having transmigrated into the Naruto world, Souji lived there for 22 years, starting as an infant. As the older brother next door, he watched Minato grow up, and Souji and Minato's relationship was truly like that of brothers.
It was simply impossible to stand idly by and watch the Minato couple's situation unfold.
If we want to change the fate of Minato and Tsunade, we would have to mobilize all of Konoha's elite forces, such as forcibly keeping Jiraiya and Tsunade in Konoha, to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Such an arrangement was naturally beyond his ability to make on his own, given his insignificant position as a middle-ranking ninja.
Furthermore, considering Minato's overly mild-mannered personality, he would find it difficult to deal with an old geezer like Danzo.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief came to a conclusion.
I want to become Hokage!
Name: Mochizuki Souji
[Status: Chunin]
Chakra: 1000
[Ninjutsu: Three Body Technique, Body Flicker Technique, Leaf Village Fluid Technique, Mochizuki Style Kunai Combat Technique, Mochizuki Style Kunai Throwing Technique]
[Reputation: 5 (Newcomer to the Ninja World)]
[Example: Never misses a shot: Ignoring the difference in strength and all means, it will always hit the target (no limit)]
[Ultimate Kill (Level 1): Ignores all methods, guaranteed to kill the target, only effective against Genin-level opponents (Kunai-only)]
[Upgrading the Ultimate Kill skill to level 2 requires 100 Prestige]
Looking at my system panel.
Souji's bold statement about becoming Hokage was not without basis.
He possesses the perks of a time traveler: a system.
Although it was only put into use a few days ago, it's a bit late, but better late than never.
As you can see from the panel, this system allows you to gain various buffs and benefits based on your reputation in the ninja world, and most importantly, unlock the ultimate skill level.
His current finishing move level is 1, which is only effective against genin (lower-level) opponents.
In addition, they never missed a shot.
That is, regardless of what means the opponent uses to defend, dodge, or block.
As long as the opponent is a genin, they will be killed by the kunai he throws no matter what.
This is a force from the system, belonging to the realm of causality, and there is no way to stop it.
That's absolutely unreasonable!
However, his reputation is still too low for now, and he is only effective against genin, so he is still too weak.
If the opponent's strength is higher than that of a genin, then the finishing move effect cannot be activated.
However, his unerring accuracy is effective regardless of the difference in strength. Even if the final boss Kaguya were to descend, his kunai would still hit the opponent with certainty.
However, the location of the hit is beyond our control. After all, a hit is a hit even if it's just a graze on the little finger.
Fortunately, it is currently the beginning of the Third Shinobi World War.
There are plenty of opportunities to make a name for yourself.
About a month ago, news broke that the Third Kazekage had gone missing.
The Sand Village searched frantically for the Third Kazekage. Since they had no leads, they concluded that it must be the work of their two neighbors from the Five Great Nations, Konoha and Iwagakure.
Whether they were out of their minds or trying to show that "even without the Kazekage, Sunagakure is still very strong!", Sunagakure actually declared war on Konoha and Iwagakure and launched a full-scale attack!
The Third Kazekage has gone missing, and the Sand Village has gone to war.
The Third Shinobi World War has begun!
