I'm Almost Hokage, and the Raikage Wants Me to Close the Net

Qianye transmigrates to the ninja world.

He'd wanted to make a name for himself! But who knew this ninja world wasn't quite normal?!

After playing the Raikage's lackey for five years, he's now being sent to Konoha as a spy!

After years of hard work in Konoha, his acting skills win everyone over!

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "This boy will inherit my mantle. He's got a knack for tricking people and acting! He can inherit the Hokage's legacy!"

Danzo Shimura: "I've never met anyone better at acting than Hiruzen! Let him have the Hokage position! It's all for the village!"

Qianye: "Lord Raikage, promotions come a lot faster here than in Kumogakure!"

Fourth Raikage: "Just hold on a little longer!"

Qianye: "Lord Raikage, I can barely take it anymore! They want me to be second-in-command!"

Raikage: "Just hold on a little longer!"

Minato Namikaze: "I hereby declare Qianye the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!"

Raikage: "We can wrap things up now!"

Qianye: "I'm the Hokage now? And you want me to wrap things up?"
